Ahh... I love my university. Continuing my research is so much easier now :)
p/s: I am not a geek. Just another proud member of the Alumni. Seriously.

A New Start
The year 2010 is a new start.
Although the Mayan calender, which was also remake into this movie called 2010 said that it would be the end of the world :S
I would like to set this a little earlier. I know every year I set something but it just doesn't work but at least I tried! Budget constraint also a bit susah right....wth.
I believe I should look into myself more often. Touch on important values of life and believe in it. Find more time to be with my family, who are people which supported me all these while and make me who I am today.
I should also not be too temperament in terms of dealing with challenges in life. I would learn how to take a deep breath and stop for a moment before uttering words, which might hurt other people's feelings.
I should not bow down to hardships in life. It happens and there is always a way in solving them.
Last but not least, love more, give more...ask less. I know I am easily jealous and a very demanding person when come to certain things. I shall work on this part of myself more often.
In short, I should ....
Forgive more, Believe slowly.
Love truly, laugh uncontrollably.
Embrace life and never regret.

Magic Box
Happiness doesn't always come easy.
Sometimes, you have to earn happiness. You sacrifice and gain it through.
When I just started dating Mr D, I was on semester break and had a lot of time to spend in the kitchen.
I had the privilege of preparing his first ever lunch box! :)

So happiness does come in a box too!
See this very cute Media Prima Screening 2010 bag?
It had some goodies inside Darling brought home for me.
But I prepared another lunch box today! After so so long :P
Stir fry pork + vege with belacan + rice
Mr. D had an appointment today. Thus, the lunch box was for me :)
p/s: I'm off for a day trip to Melaka tomorrow. Photos when I come back!

There are a lot of philosophies in life. A lot of reactions. A lot of sarcasm. Tonnes of opinions. Guidelines given by your predecessor. Books for reference. A religion to follow.
Then, we have our parents and teachers to look up to. Some of us have bosses to answer. Boyfriends/girlfriends to listen. Friends to gang up with.
When I wanted to study Media/Communication/Advertising, a lot of people from various relations told my mom to not let me do so. Reasons being that I will either end up rebellious like most advertising people in the industry, end up being weird and the aristocrat behavior of wanting to be different.
Creative is the word.
But people do not understand what is it like to be creative. So they think tattoos equal gangsterism, guys wearing pink suede jeans reads weird and people with big ideas only have a head too big for little dreams.
But I am happy I made it a point to study what I love and lucky to have my mom nodding in approval. If not, it will be one of my biggest regret not exploring something I have passion in.
Then, my sister got an offer to be an air-stewardess with Singapore Airlines. Some people are happy for her. The rest of the people, aunties and uncles had the same idea that it would be so stupid of her to leave University for a job which equals to waitressing.
"Tell your sister, and don't even encourage her OK? Air-stewardess is not a permanent job...you'll be expired and it is just like a waitress. Just that you're one class higher because you're waitressing on air."
But I sat down with my sister and asked if she really wants it. She said she is serious about it, so I asked her to give it a try. It's better to try and know it for herself. If life is just about a pre-planned route... it'll be such a bore. You'll grow old thinking what would it be like if you have accepted the offer by Singapore Airlines.
What if you fail trying? Then learn from the lesson and that's how people mature and become wiser. Because you go through things and learn from them.
There are so many people questioning and telling you thing along the way. All you need to have is faith and passion.
I still remember how my mom told me about people being successful in life. Like Michael Jackson, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Nicole David and the famous Char Koay Tiaw seller. They are successful because they did something they really love. Something they feel strong about.
With that strong passion and a lot of faith, that fire in you would push you further. And that is how some people do something extraordinary yet fantastic. But some people don't. All because of that strong passion.
Yes, it is so difficult trying to be a good human being.
All we need is being humble. Put your ego aside. Stop being ignorant.
Take one step back, listen, absorb, digest and learn.
Listen. Because it is part of learning.
Absorb. Think if whatever you listen is what you think right.
Digest. Put yourself in and see if it applies to you.
Learn. If what you listen should be taken as part of your life.
To you, I may be the weirdest person you have ever met. But hey, I am doing my part and my very best. Sorry to make you feel that way. I would have God to answer to if I did something really wrong.
To you, thank you for backing me up with very much love and positive support. I am thankful for having you in my life. For that it makes things easier and possible for me.

PowerScreen Anniversary @ KL Tower
It was going to be an event. So I got myself ready way before Darling was about to arrive. Just in case I take more time than needed.
But I only took a while. :)
Then with the rest of the time, I did the usual routine in front of the mirror with my camera.
Hehe.
Check if I still look like myself and not overdo my makeup. You know, I don't want to look like a clown or maybe uglier ... :X
Darling arrived shortly after he left KLCC. Oh, how I wished I was at Media Prima's screening because some of the Hong Kong artists were there!!!
But it's OK, I had a lecture class to conduct and I wouldn't want to leave them. So I did the job.
We arrived at KL Tower's ballroom just in time before they announce the lucky draws. The highlight of most events, sad to say.
And when someone actually said "Oh, nahhh.... I don't have luck with all these things. It'll never be me..."
THEN, the MC called for her name!
Wendy Tan...
Hahahaha, she was so happy that she just dashed to the stage from where we were standing :)
And look so happy and excited!
She got a really nice watch :)
Looks expensive, eh?
It was a night full of warmth with just friends, girl talk and laughters.
I had photo sessions with the girls. :)
Mae & I, we knew each other through Darling
Sam & I, met each other through an event
The highlight was meeting Rufina, my long time friend and ex-colleague... our story start way back when I was doing my internship. She is a very nice friend and someone you would always want to keep by your side. Because she always makes you smile. She lights up the room wherever she goes. :)
We were so happy to meet each other that we hugged for so soo sooooo long. :)
After KL Tower, we decided to have supprt at Bukit Bintang.
I love sitting at cafe, just drinking... chit-chatting about anything in the world, listening to live music while feeling the breeze by the sea or maybe just embracing the environment. Like observing people around you, the lights and the busy streets...
Loving life... and looking forward to another great start.

It's A Good Day
Darling came and pass me a long-delivered parcel and I was feeling very excited.
Now, most of you would think that "Oh man.... she bought something online again!"
Well sorry to disappoint you. Yes, I bought something again.
But I can assure you that it is for a very very VERY good cause.
No, it's not to fight cancer, HIV or for UNICEF.
It is not donating money to the poor.
Not even to help the animals through WWF.
....
...
My best friend and I bought a ring to celebrate our friendship after so many years.
Don't you think it is for a very good cause!!!!!
Look how bright it shines!
Oh, I am beginning to love it so much. Although my fingers look a little shorter but heck, I just love how it fits and blings on my finger. Even Darling thinks it is pretty :)
So, it is a good day to celebrate friendship ... with Miss Pei :)
...and the day got better when the paper gave me a little space for my blog :)
Some of you would know that I was a 2000 Terengganu-camp BRATs. I love the camp and will always be grateful of the exposure we had through this program. I learnt a lot and my passion towards writing just grew stronger and it never stopped.
Even though I wasn't one of the featured bloggers with the posts on the Ole BRATs issue on Saturday, I was glad that I am among one of their 10 bloggers they have published.
Thank you, The Star... the writing goes on :)
