Apparently last minute shopping wasn't really a bad idea. On the contrary, it keeps you on track to get 'something' by hook or by crook at the end of the day. Like that T-shirt, grab that T-shirt, try it on , yes or no, head to cashier ! That quick!

It's even better if you have a friend next to you who'd push you every now and then and giving you tremendous support ( or somewhat forceful-support ) to try out clothes you never dare/want to give it much chance and still feel comfortable with it. Thank you qiqi - my last minute shopping companion *grins* - for all her opinions and comments, truly appreciate it ( qiqi : yeahh... when I got home, I still find the green stripe looks better than the brown *Bah! shoots the shop manager* )

Recently I've added on alot of colours to my wardrobe. That's perfectly what I need. Currently I've got heaps of grey,dark hues, black and its rather pathetic ( I don't know why I didn't realize it before either, blergh! ). So here I am trying hard to stock in some exciting colours and refurbish my entire wardrobe - hopefully it'd help add some sparks to moi life! Woo wee~ Heck cares about the money. It'd come in next month anyway ( not to mention the upcoming 'ang pows' krkrkrkrkr ) *wink *wink - nothing wrong with pampering ourselves as long as we know our limits. Am I right ? No? whatever... Kaimono ikimashoo!

Also, I'd be giving away my old clothes away, so if you guys know where to donate/giveaway these things, please let me know ( or else that big bag of old clothes would remain 1 side of the corner in my room till god-knows-when... ). Thanks in advanced~

One last bit, Happy Chinese New Year everyone. Gong xi fa cai! Have a great holiday ahead. Enjoy!
Spent!

Selves;

... Are adapting to a new commitment.
... Are counting each day as a separate life,

BE amazed at your own willpower.
The will to go against all odds,
The will to give in your best shots.

Stupidity is when you pulled back at things.
Stupidity is when you assumed you can never make things happen.

Make things happen!

Nothing is impossible,
Nothing is too much to ask for.

BE the person you want to be.
Take a step beyond your innerself.

Leap on, to the ladder of selves.

"Nice chatting with you Kenny. Keep in touch ? Do you have MSN or any contact no. ?"

"Yes I do. Add me if you want to : kenxxx@hotmail.com / 012-660xxxx"

(MSN contact added to list . Phone number added to phonebook)

(Couple of days later.... MSN/SMS)

"Hi, how are you? who is this ? / Hello, you are ? / Hi, sorry this is ?"

BAH! *toot toot*

I have to keep on deleting all the contacts now and then on my MSN list and phonebook. I don't blame them if they forgot who I am, mostly because the absent-minded me is the same. Hehehe. FYI, it's normal and usual.

I don't delete em' away just because I can't recall who they are, I delete em' those who're not usually online (on MSN) / talks rubbish / irritating / plain bored / don't chat at all.

But for those who takes the effort to remember, thank you. I truly appreciate it. Joel, for one, really surprises me with his great memory - having to recall most of our conversation 3 weeks ago (all the details and such). Hmm... Now that's what I called sincere (the basic fundamental of it) ! Thanks hey!

However, *super embarassed* I just don't have what it takes to act like one myself - cause' I can't remember much about him *Shy~* (Ought to be punished, ya I know!)
Keep in touch?

My apologies to the two(2) certificates of my life - Mr. Degree and Miss Adv. diploma

I totally forgot about them! I should have it framed long ago but I just haven't got the time to do so.... and uhm.... due to other unforeseen-but-it's-there circumstances. Thank goodness it hasn't turned yellow (or in a 'mui-choy' kinda state as a matter of fact... just yet!). *Phew~

Mom started to nag - asking me to frame it up but seriously, if you ask me, I really don't see the point of framing it and putting it up somewhere nice to show off. Then again, that 2 pieces of A3(almost) size paper is what I get in return and in exchange of thousands and thousands of Ringgit Malaysia that my parents put in for my studies. So I can't really argue with them and I don't see the point of arguing either. Afterall, it does make sense to frame it up since its an important 'investment'. But the 'putting it up somewhere' thingy just gotta go (shove shove, somewhere else)

Looking back at the certs, am I proud of myself! *sniggers* Can't believe with all the wild parties and gatherings at my apartment, plenty of mahjongs, animes, experimentations with food and cocktails, production of dumb home video clips and more crappos and I still managed to earn my degree! (Yuk! Yuk! Yuk!)

To all my college and university mates, I'm absolutely proud of ourselves! Keep it up, all the good fun and laughters, and remember to stay 'low profile'. Ahh.. Uni life, so care free then.

PART 1 : It's You!

I bumped into someone in Midvolley today of whom I've chatted with on MSN before. He works in one of the fashion retail stores. We've never met face-to-face but I've seen his photos on his MSN; that's how I recognized him. Furthermore he did mentioned that he's in the retail line.

I saw him and I knew it's him. I doubt he recognizes me though. However, as we're somewhat not-very-close itself as a chat friend, I didn't really bother to find out and verify if it's really him. Close(as in distance..) but not close at all. And it's the first time I felt so ODD,... way OUT.

'Macam' met an old pal but then again, no, he's not really my friend (Duh~!)

PART 2 : and You(again)!

Went into Shop A with Mom, randomly go through the shirts. Saw this shirt I like, picked it up and showed it to Mom. But I didn't get it (it's a decision over price thingy).

Went into Meetrojaya with Mom, and got attracted by this shirt they displayed on a mannequin. Held it up, look look look... HEY! This is the same shirt I saw in Shop A! It's you again! As much as it sounds like 'it's meant to be'......there's still no purchase done in the end (it's a decision over price thingy again !). BAH!
It's You! and You(again)!

Japanese version of Numa Numa



I'm sure you've heard about the Numa Numa Dance song. But this is a rather ridiculous 'chartou' version of it. The Japanese are really trying hard to translate the words and adapt it into their own language.

It'd be more fun if you know abit of Japanese (then you'll know it's really crappy); but that shouldn't be a problem... worse come to worst, you'd still be enjoying the music (unless you don't like Numa Numa iei)

What an effort to interpret the song lyric (the pathetical-nonsense way) ! Imagine Romanian words 'Chipul tau si' being translated as 'Keep Dhalsim'- pronounced as 'Kee-poo Dar-roo-sheem' in Japanese. Hilarious! Lolz.

*Dhalsim is the Yoga-master-from-India-who-burst-out-fire-flames/balls in 'Street Fighter'

The actual translation of the song lyric can be found here. Thanks Millfross dah-ling for sharing the cute animation. Mmuah ! Definitely boost up the night !

Ma-ia-hii... Ma-ia-huu... Ma-ia-hoo... Ma-ia-haha~

Slut
Definitely NOT because of frequent sexual relationships with different people. Biatch is just jealous of me. That's why...

Jack Jack
Hair as soft as Jack Jack from 'The Incredibles'. YewYew started it. Aww *shucks*

If you don't know this, it only proves we are not close friends, just yet =)

Vodkes
If you don't know this, it only proves you're not PLU =)

Moth scribbled a word in his head : E-F-F-O-R-T

Think I am beginning to understand the meaning of it. Or maybe not .... entirely. But it's good enough. No kidding hey! Moth is growing!

There's always one or two rough moments in a day. There's always unresolved problems with family, friends, jobs, homework, computers, DREAMWEAVER, LAYOUT, TABLE, CELL, TD, TR, WIDTH, PIXELS, FRAMES, BORDERS, CELLPADDING, CELLSPACING, what the *uck I am dragging too far now - yes I know, I'm getting cuckoo these days if thats what you want to know.

Possible factor(s) : Not getting enough hearts and points! And too much ups and downs. It's definitely not healthy. Worse than veges.

So, with all the unwanted rubbish, one needs to do something bout' it rite? I recommend putting in an extra effort (and extra virgin olive oil if need be) to initiate a solution. A solution here doesn't mean 'to solve a problem' nor does it mean 'a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances' (duh!).

Moth says : a solution can be anything from clicking on your friend's MSN nick and starts bugging him/her irregardless whether he/she is busy ( just so to write the hell out of your frustration) OR clicking on your friend's MSN nick and starts irritating him/her with the 'Nudge' and dumb 'Winks' (same reason as above) OR merely clicking on your friend's MSN nick and say 'Hi' and proceed a nice flow of conversation (same reason as above, but in a better nicer manner... we're ladies and gentlemen afterall, aren' t we?)

Moth says the point is : Just make an effort to keep yourself happy and enjoy whatever you're doing.

See how helpful a little 6-letter word can help you change your life. Call now, to get your copy of 'Making that extra Effort' book right now. And if you call within the next 25 minutes, you'll get a 30% discount off the original price. 'Make that extra Effort' . Call now, 1300-88-2525.... no wait, that's Pizza Hoot. Hoo hoo hoo....

Seriously, sometimes you just never notice - That when you finally did put in an effort, everything would seem so much more easier, and you'd be astonished. A gift to mankind not to be wasted.

P/S : Yes I know, veges are healthy. Am trying hard to take that thin slice of cucumber. Urgh

Moth a little note :

Chipmunk made the following statement today-

"A mouth as hard as rock, a heart softer than wool"

Softer than wool? That's new. That's interesting. I just got attracted to the words.

A tremendous comfy feeling .. SHIAWASE desu ne ( means 'hang fook' in cantonese ) . Much more comfortable than Softlan and Baby Skin put together.

Moth a little surprise :

Two brats caught me blogging. Must share with them now. It wasn't planned this way! Sheesh!
Softer than Wool

Softer than Wool

It's upsetting at times, when you realize you can only treat the person you like/admire as good friend and nothing more than that.

It's even more upsetting, if you know the person treats you only to the same extent.

As much as I'd hope things to turn out my way, I know it's totally absurd and it's relatively impossible. But I'm still doing it; constantly trying to break the 'nothing-more-than-that' barrier; hoping someday somewhat something would change.

Bah! Silly me.

I figured it's not wrong to dream. It's not wrong to believe. But wrong to give myself a 'false' hope. I know I'm faking it every now and then. It's just not worth it. Then again, there's nothing I could do about it.

I'm sure it's not only me who felt this way. You too perhaps. So how would you cope up with such situation? To let go and move on? or to let go and move on? My solution : Neither.

Yeah, it hurts to face the fu*king reality. But it's my life, it's my choice. And I chose to believe that someday I could treat that particular someone more than just a 'good friend' and hopefully the same in return.

Hypocrite. Yes I am. Dreamer. Yes I am. Faker. Yes I might be one..

"Very boring-lar at home"

"Boring? TFK1-lar"

"Hurr? How long can it help me pass my time? *blur* "

"Can-gehh....TFK already very tired-mar. Then you can head to bed and sleep-lor"

"...................."

Thats briefly part of the conversation on the phone with Dar. I never know TFK has since become a past time hobby. Dear Guan-Yin, forgive me for my ignorance *sob* I'm so outdated.

1 Check with your high-intellectual friend(s) if you wish to understand the meaning of it.

Time passes by

Went out for lunch with Alan, and he told me alot of things about his nephews that really surprises me - and it's kinda *yaiks! to see my friend got so furious just talking about it.

"They're chinese educated, of course they can speak chinese but they don't want. Even their parents have to talk to them in english , if not, my nephew will start ignoring them and give them one look. Very biased when it comes to Chinese-thing. Dunno why..."

"Ask them to eat Chinese food also they don't like ( note : immediately, running in me head, the song that goes - chinese food makes me sick ). Very 'lan-si' wan the fella . When it comes to Chinese festive celebrations, they won't care, they don't want to know. Christmas - AHhhh! they will know and interested to know how and what..."

Gee.. kids nowadays *ahem* It's as though speaking chinese will practically make them ah-bengs/ah-lians and instantly down-grade their social status. What on earth? They definitely missed out all the fun hey! ........ AND of course *ahem*, there's nothing wrong with being ah-bengs/ah-lians in the first place *cough*cough*

Exception goes to real 'bananas'-lar who doesn't know any chinese dialects, thats acceptable and forgiven, but but but... the nephews were chinese-educated. How improper would that be? Bah! Westernised chinese brats. Be proud hey! CNY is around the corner ( I wonder if they'll ignore the 'ang pow' part as well ? ) - I DOUBT so.

"I've been receiving so many Wedding invitation cards...(paused)... *sigh, when is it going to be MY turn to give out invitation cards for my sons' wedding?"

"Don't look at me. I'm not gonna get married. Single cannot-meh?"

"You CRAZY-ah? Not get married? Its a 'must' in your life to marry someone....bla bla bla (and it goes on from here)"

Thats me mom. I argued with her for a good 10 minutes on this issue of a 'must' marriage. She pointed out that its important to find a soulmate so that you wouldn't be alone in the future (when you're old, can't move, sad life.. yada yada..at least there's someone to accompany you... more yada yada....) *Nods* I totally agree with that.

Yup. There's nothing wrong in what she pointed out. Its just that I hate it when she said its 'a must'. Who said its 'a must' ? Yaa, my mom did and thats it. Period.

I've been getting alot of things like these for the past few weeks. Questions after Questions - asking me to look for 'the one', bring her(him) home, introduce her(him) to the family, get married. Hooboy, thats' just so f*ckin tiring to my ears. Fine~ next time, I shall bring someone home.

"Mom, meet ___(fill in the blank with a guy's name)___. He's 'the one' and we're getting married somewhere probably in Spain or Netherlands. I'm sure he will take nice care of me. And I will too, dontcha worry"

Nah, its NEVER gonna happen. Darn.. it sounds so easy here!

I really hope she'd stop all these :- asking me to seek for someone / introduce me to her friend's daughter / 'you'll know how we feel when you get to be someone's parent in the future' . It spells H-E-A-D-A-C-H-E.

Push, Hint, Marriage

08 January 2006

I really doesn't want to sound like Vanity* from Smurf BUT, I must admit - I'm desperate for a mirror right now (in my room). It's pathetic waking up every morning, bath, change, and head straight to my parent's/brother's room just to get a quick glimpse at my own reflection (with their mirror) and adore at my very own charming self before I head off to work.

* Vanity is an effeminate and stylish Smurf, the epitome of metrosexual, most of the time wearing a flower on his hat. He loves feminine things, acts delicately, and often holds a hand mirror which he stares into at his reflection (narcissism). Some readers mistook him for a female...and he has a reputation of being gay due to his effeminate behaviour.

And it's rather scary to see how a nice mirror these days... ( or should it be mirror with nice frames ) comes with *nice* price. Went to Ikea today, and I saw and I really wanted to get 'that sleek stylish contemporary mirror' . So, I dig in to my wallet only to discover, what's left is only a couple of moths... *sniff *sniff.... so, I have no choice but bid farewell to that mirror (putting in gracefully back to where it belongs)

Life sucks when you know you want that something and not able to make it yours >=p . NOT FAIR at all...
