It's This Time In Year Again

2009-08-07T06:30:00.004+08:00

It's this time in year again. One by one, we left the country for a new life at US.

To the first batch of friends flying here soon,

Have a safe journey! I am so excited for everyone.

To the rest,

I am equally excited for you! Have a safe flight too!

The flight is going to be really really long. Remember bring something to entertain yourself on the plane if you don't plan to sleep through the entire 18++ hours.

p.s.: Austin! Let's have a reunion at US! Maybe....... at Austin? =P

A TALE TO REMEMBER OR..NOT!

date: 24th July 2009
weather: good

time: 6.00 am
Sleepily, L boarded the train with her mum, hugging her bag filled with documents, to US embassy in Ampang.

time: 8.30 am
L and her mum reached Ampang Park. After asking directions for the 1234456778th times, they arrived at the aloom, squared building. L displayed her appointment letter and underwent a stringent security check in the entrance *which includes drinking her water to prove that it is not poisioned?*

L then dragged herself into the building (after being forcefully separated from her mum XD) and was asked to take out the documents such as the forms, passport etc etc..

BOOM! L's heart sank as she rummaged her bag for the documents. Where is that damn thing?

Reality sank in L 5 minutes later. She forgot her PASSPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm home, but I don't want to be home.

I'm sick, and I'm afraid that it might be swine flu.

Just a quick post to say that I'm back from NZ. Will not be writing anything about NZ. I'm afraid that I will cry if I start writing. Feelings are still raw, and the memories still strong. Will be posting more pictures on Facebook soon.

Was packing up all my stuff because I'm moving to a new house at the end of the year. Stumbled upon some pictures of me when I was young (now so old already lol)...

I was a REALLY fat baby T.T

See how much I like to eat! Sigh...Cannot resist when I have so much food in front of me!

Then, I went into a phase when I hated taking pictures. See how grumpy I was?

Hmm...I guess I LOVE taking photos at this point of time in life lol.

Primary 5. My brother was so much cuter then lol. I was so thin last time, even though I eat and eat and eat all the time. Why am I so fat now? Why? =(

plese help? =p

hey guys =D

As most of you know, I'm going to Thailand this August, and I will be joining a group called SEALNet (you can check it out on http://www.sealnetonline.org). Basically, SEALNet serves the community in Southeast Asia, promoting the spirit of service leadership in the region.

I will be involved in a project that aims to engage students in active learning. We will also be renovating the school library to encourage students to visit the library.

All this requires money, and therefore, I ask you guys to please help us achieve our goals. You can donate any amount you wish, 10 dollar, RM10, 100 baht, 500 baht, 1 dollar...anything. =p

Instructions on how to donate can be found on http://www.sealnetonline.org/donate.

Please let me know if you are willing to donate. My team members and I (as well as the little kids in Thailand) will be really grateful! =D

Thanks!

In your presence i am content
You're altogether lovely.worthy.wonderful to me.

For every answered prayer
and i admit i do take them for granted sometimes yet u have your own reasons for why some of them are not being answered.
we might not understand and that is when we start doubting you.
Questioning why.
For always being there.I know you are but sometimes i fail and end up neglecting you.
For love that hears us when we call
For arms that lift us when we fall.
Anytime.Everyday.Everywhere.Everytime.

You have always been right beside us.
Leading us all along the way.The path you have for us.
And we've made it through
Because of you.

For days we cannot see
Wondering.Pondering to ourselves.
Where are you when we needed you?
For all that's yet to be
The trials we may have to face
When we'll be leaning on your grace
It will be your strength that save us
Teaching.Guiding.Providing us the wisdom to do so.
Your love that makes us strong.

I am learning.
I am only in the beginning of the journey and there's lots more for me to walk and experience with you.

Throughout these few years you've been guiding me.

Sending him over to keep an eye on me.

Cast all your anxiety on him for he cares for you.

I am.casting everything onto you.
Depending and relying on you fully

Please support, thank you thank you! =p

I'm home. But, I'm kinda bored. My dad took position as the Health Minister, banning me from going out for a week, for fear of me infecting other people with my non-existence swine flu =p.

So, I've been stuck at home, stalking people on Facebook, watching Singaporean dramas (where did my TVB drama on TV3 go to??? ='( ), and reading Archie comics.

I've finally had fish (thanks, mum!). Real fish, not deep-fried fillets. I've had my kolo mee (blissful look on my face now) and my seafood tomyam beehoon from jojo cafe. My aunt cooked fern with belachan, and I'm waiting for my "bak moi" (meat porridge) tomorrow, teehehe. Now, I want my laksa, tomato mee, gu bak mee, wanton soup, maggi goreng, nasi goreng pattaya, paprik, sweet noodle......

Not a freshman, but a rising sophomore...

2009-05-11T08:43:00.018+08:00

Finals are over, and I know I owe everyone a post. Sorry.

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

This semester has been incredible. Masquerade Ball, Spring, Northeast Malaysian Forum, Spring Fling, and Hey Day were the highlights of this semester.

1. Masquerade Ball:
First prom ever. Enough said. =)

2. Spring:
Winter went away, and out came the sun. Cherry blossoms were everywhere for a week. Next spring, cherry blossoms in D.C.!

3. Northeast Malaysian Forum:
Met up with fellow Malaysians whom I've heard about but never met. Went to Yale, my dream school (you all know this lah). Discussed issues close to my heart. Met up with Jian Wei. Had a lot of fun lah, despite having a chem midterm the same week. No pictures for this one. Sorry.

4. Spring Fling:
The most amazing weekend ever. The weather was perfect. After weeks of rain and wind, Mr. Sun came out. Fried Oreos, Akon, Guster, group performances, friends...what more can I ask for?

a camel! i know, some "secret" frat rented a camel for fling.

5. Hey Day:
The juniors walks down Locust Walk, and everyone just throws eggs, mayo, mustard, ketchup, fish sauce, flour etc at them. But...they are not the only ones who get dirty! Once they get hyped up, they will start chasing after you to hug you.

The semester has come to an end, and sad to say, I am not a freshman anymore. I can't believe a year has passed. Everyone has started packing, and in 2 days time, no one will be around anymore. Where has time flew to?

The discussion we had this morning was really interesting. As we were discussing, I was trying to recall what types of book I read as a child. I remember that most of my picture books were related to animals. We had the popular "sang kancil" (mouse deer) who was cunning and smart, the "sang rimau" (tiger) who was brave and fierce, and the "sang buaya" (crocodile) who kept trying to catch "sang kancil" but was always outwitted. We had picture books with people on them too, and those books incorporate the three main races in Malaysia: Malay, Chinese, and Indian. I was never really exposed to books like "Dick and Jane". However, I felt like I've read them. I don't know why.

The wind was so strong, I could barely lift up my head and walk to my classes. The cold wind did nothing to wake me up though.

I can't wait for spring break. It has been a long semester, and I am starting to feel REALLY tired.

But, still, I don't want the semester to come to an end.

I have no idea what I would like to write for my final project as well. There's so many topics to choose from, I don't know where to start.

I have been really unattentive in class today, tuning out most of what the professors were saying.

I went to the talk by the World Bank president. It was pretty disappointing.

I agree with Sofia that as college students, we do not always have time to connect to our real emotions due to the fast paced atmosphere. The other day, my friend told me that her roommate's dad just lost his job. Her roommate cried for a bit, wiped of her tears, and continued studying for her midterm.

It's sad how we are not allowed time to just connect to our inner feelings and feel whatever we want to feel. Instead, we are thrown into a world that does not wait for you if you choose to step back and cry.

I was going to write about circumcision as a rite of passage among African girls ,Shelby. However, I changed my topic to "hazing" and I'm pretty excited about it. I know hazing is banned, but I believe it's still going on right now.

I just came back from watching CATS, and my mind is filled with jellicle songs and jellicle cats.

Break is almost over, and I'm feeling panicky now. I hate it when there's midterms, papers, applications and quizzes after a break; I can't seem to enjoy my break properly. Fingers crossed. I hope everything goes well.

I did not go home over the break, considering that it takes almost a day to fly back to where I come from. So, I went to DC. I like it there. But, I fell sick, vomited the whole day, waited for 4 hours to see a doctor, and had to be given IV drips in the end because I was dehydrated. Not a nice experience...

It's technically Sunday, so I'm going to write my blogpost now before I forget tomorrow.

I've started reading The Kite Runner, and even though I've read it before, it still captures my attention. I'm actually really happy we are having Kite Runner as one of our readings, as it gives me an excuse to read a story book even though I have 3 midterms, 3 quizzes and 2 papers due next week.

WOW, there are so many new entries! I want to read every single one of them, but Physics is calling me from afar.SIGH.

Econ midterm was ok, I think I did pretty well. So, 3 down, 2 more to go!

Today's class was informative. I'm always scared when it comes to writing paper, because I am afraid that one day I will be accused of plagiarizing without even knowing it! I mean, sometimes you think that you are paraphrasing, but in actual fact, you are not.

If I ever get caught for plagiarizing, I did not mean it! I did it without knowing it!

I cringe when I think of writing.

Do we really have to write?

I guess so.

Well, you can basically see how much I hate writing. But, I'm hoping that after this semester, I will see writing in a different perspective because as much as I hate it, I know that I will have to write, write, and write for the next forty years of my life (maybe more). I might as well start loving it.

When I was asked to write what I was thinking right at that moment in class, I was stuck. It seemed like at that point of time, many different things were going through my mind and I was not able to isolate one single thought. I like to think and daydream. Often before I go to bed, I will lie in bed and think of what happened that day and what is going to happen the next day. My thoughts will then wander and I will fall asleep eventually.

Have a great weekend everyone!

My conference went well and I felt a lot better after coming out of the room. I know I am always too hard on myself. But, it's difficult to change and become a more confident person in just one night. Call me a product of an Asian education. I'm a perfectionist and a sore loser.

Coming to college has definitely changed the way I view many things. Grades do not matter as much as they used to and I've learnt that there's usually no harm in trying out something new. Taking some risks definitely makes life more exciting.

The "little book" for writing

2009-01-18T11:39:00.002+08:00

It's interesting and useful. Seriously.

blogging? er...

2009-01-16T04:01:00.003+08:00

I have a feeling that I won't be blogging much anymore (not that I ever did anyway).

"Why?" you asked.

Well, it's because I have to contribute to my writing seminar's blog EVERY SINGLE day from Sunday till Thursday for the WHOLE semester. Talk about writing. -.-

But, I'm really excited about this class. I'm FINALLY going to learn how to write.

A new semester ahead of me. It's exhilarating.

It seems like it'll be a really busy semester though, with 6 classes (macroeconomics, calculus 3, chemistry, physics, writing, chemistry lab and MAYBE criminology) and maybe a job (fingers crossed). CommuniTech will require some commitment too. But, you know what? I have a feeling I will LOVE this semester!

dog or cat?

2009-01-09T14:56:00.003+08:00

Excerpts from the diary of a dog:
8.00 a.m. Oh boy, dog food-my fav
9.30 a.m. Oh boy, a car ride-my fav
9.40 a.m. Oh boy, a walk-my fav
10.30 a.m. Oh boy, another car ride-my fav
11.30 a.m. Oh boy, more dog food-my fav
12.00 p.m. Oh boy, the kids- my fav
1.00 p.m. Oh boy, the yard-my fav
4.00 p.m. Oh boy, the kids again-my fav
5.30 p.m. Oh boy, Mom-my fav
6.00 p.m. Oh boy, playing ball-my fav
8.30 p.m. Oh boy, sleeping in my master's bed-my fav

Excerpts from the diary of a cat
Day 283 of my captivity. My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat while I'm forced to eat dry cereal. I'm sustained by the hope of escape and the mild satisfaction i derive from running a few piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant. I attempted to kill my captors this morning by weaving through their walking feet. Nearly succeeded. Must try this strategy at the top of the stairs. Seeking to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, i once again induced myself to vomit on their fav chair. Must try this on their bed. To display my diabolical disposition, I decapitated a mouse and disposited the headless body on their kitchen floor. They only cooed and condescended, patting my head and called me "strong little kitty". Hmm- not working according to my plan. Durin a gathering of their accomplices, I overheard that my confinement was due to my power of allergies. Must learn what this means and how to use it to my advantage.
I'm convinced the other household captives are flunkies, perhaps snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems naively happy to return. He is, no doubt, a half wit. The bird speaks with the human regularly. Must be the informant. I am certain he reports every of my move. Due to his current placement in the metal cage, his safety is assured, but i can wait. It is only a matter of time.

The day of a dog. The day of a cat. One content, the other conniving. One at peace, the other at war. One grateful, the other grumpy. Same house. Same circumstances. Same matter. Yet two entirely different attitudes?

WHICH ONE IS YOU?

p.s tis is the reason i've always adore dogs and dislike cats, well, besides the fact that cat used to scratch me when i were younger. call me bias- i am a DOG lover.

Making Decisions, URGH

2009-01-08T03:12:00.004+08:00

Those who know me know that I hate making decisions.

"Why do I hate making decisions?", I ask myself.

1. Because I'm afraid of making the wrong decision.
2. Because I'm afraid that I'll regret in the future.
3. Because I'm afraid that better things will come after the decision is made.
4. Because I do not want to be responsible for the outcome of the decision.

In short, because I'm SCARED to make decisions.

These few days have been filled with decision makings - Should I go for summer school? Or should I follow my heart's desire and go home? But if I go home, what about my plans to do a dual degree? Will I be able to fulfill my plans? If I go home, what should I do? Should I go to Chicago before going home?

Even booking tickets made me dizzy... Which airline should I take? Should I fly through JFK or Philly? If I fly through JFK, how do I get to JFK? Will I be able to pack up and go home by May 13?

Thousands and thousand of questions flood through my mind every single minute. Those questions might seem irrelevant and petty. But, they constantly boggle my mind and in the end, all I want to do is...

SLEEP ~.~

New Year Resolutions-2009

i wanted to write smth like subby's post..but den, i am too tired after d christmas party..so, i've decided to try the quizzes that liz posted in her blog..heheh..and i found the answer..surprisingly quite accurate

You Are Merry and Spontaneous

You approach the holidays with joy and playfulness.
You refuse to let the holidays be stressful. They should only be about fun.

The holidays truly make you feel like a kid again.
And you believe it's your job to make everyone else feel like a kid too!

Of all the types, you're the most likely to give someone a gift early... because you can't wait.
You're also the most likely to wrap your presents quickly - or not at all.

note: it's so true!! i heart hols..and i truly enjoy my hols to the fullest *that explains why my essays are not done yet*
and i love giving ppl present and i love receiving presents too (i mean, who don't? ) LOL

Your Deadly Sins

Greed: 40%

Pride: 40%

Sloth: 40%

Gluttony: 20%

Lust: 20%

Wrath: 20%

Envy: 0%

Chance You'll Go to Hell: 26%

You'll die in a castle, surrounded by servants.

note: hmm..i think i shall not comment much about this..but d tot of dying in a castle surronded by servants..sounds..sad and pathetic..LOL

You Are Very Approachable

You can talk to anyone, and it shows. People are eager to start conversations with you.
You are open and friendly. You are willing to connect with almost anyone.

While it's great to be approachable, there is such a thing as too approachable.
Eventually someone will try to take advantage of you. Don't be afraid to say no or end an awkward conversation.

note: i think..this should be true kua..i dunno..u guys judge la..hahah

You Are 50% Addicted to Love

Might as well face it, you're addicted to love.
You've been a fool for love many times - but are you the wiser for it?
Your needs should come first, both in and out of relationships.
Because you're the only one who can look out for yourself!

note: i guess it's true..i can be quite selfish at times in my relationship..LOL

that's all..i better go to bed now..adios~

2008-12-19T05:05:00.020+08:00

My first semester has ended. I still can't believe it. The year is coming to an end. I can't believe it.

I had so much fun this year.

A relaxing weekend in Port Dickson. Thanks, Yiling and Uma!

A crazy and full of laughter Melaka trip. Thanks, Mei Yueh!

Eye of Malaysia with Amy and Chen Khuan

A not so formal yet fun Graduation dinner.

The trip when we found Airina's interesting pics. Thanks, Airina! =p

My first baseball game. I still don't get baseball.

The BIG APPLE!

I found "my" cafe.

A fun weekend at Longwoods Garden during Intercultural Leadership Program

and many many more happy and interesting moments...

There was sad stuff too, like missing my sis's wedding

and my grandpa's passing away...

But I'm thankful for everything I have
and I wish everyone

"Merry Christmas!"

&

"May the year to come bring joy and peace."

2008-11-25T22:30:00.002+08:00

From reality TV, talk shows, game shows, makeovers, hidden camera shows to blogs, online journals and networking sites - they all feed our insatiable voyeurism.

Haven't we got enough in our own lives to deal with and think about? Or maybe, you feed on other people's lives to get away from the mess in your own. You lap it all up eagerly, you hunger for more, more and more exposure. You crave drama and sensationalized testimonies and you turn away from facing your own reality. Are you really living if your life is lived through the life of another person? You escape your reality by running in the opposite direction; you turn outwards, showing more interest in the lives of others rather than your own. Do you fear what you might discover if you look inward? Depraved souls, we are.

This culture is disturbing and I am part of this culture.

"I miss PAPRIK!!!"

God Knows Best

2008-11-08T21:30:00.002+08:00

note: feeling sentimental now..this poem struck me in many ways..juz feel like posting it up =P

Our Father knows what's best for us,
So why should we complain-
We always want the sunshine,
But He knows there must be rain-
We love the sound of laughter
And the merriment of cheer,
But our hearts would lose their tenderness
If we never shed a tear...
With suffering and with sorrow,
He tests us, not to punish us,
But to help us meet tomorrow...
For growing trees are are strengthened
When they withstand the storm
So whenever we are troubled,
And when everything goes wrong,
It is just God working in us
To make our spirit strong.

OMG..Obama won and i am clueless about it...

2008-11-05T15:28:00.003+08:00

Oh my...Obama won and i am clueless about it until my dad told me..forgive me for my ignorance..forgive me for my laziness to read news..forgive me for my lack of update..

it's the 6th day of holidays..and i am ashamed to say i have not done anything 'productive' so far..i should have checked out the universities, but i didn't..i should have gone to my dad's office to help him, but i didn't..i should have helped out abit in the housework..but i didn't..i should have done many things..but i didn't..hai..LAZINESS...

all i did was curled up in my house's sofa..and watched tv..desperate housewife, 90210, private practice, grey's anatomy, hong kong drama's..my mum actually said this "ah girl ah, i think u can glue ur eyes to d tv, den u dun have to afraid u will miss anything in the tv"..haha..and u know wat, i think she's right..

May I Feel Said He

2008-10-27T08:51:00.005+08:00

Somehow, it reminds me of Austin. =)

past, present and future

2008-10-19T19:07:00.002+08:00

it has been so long since i last posted on papriklovers.

my bad, i have been ignoring you for so long... i shouldn't have. i have not realized how much i have taken you for granted, till today. i keep updating the other one, i forgot all about you. can you forgive me please?

well, if you are confused, you should be. i am using the blog as an analogy. i've been busy with my life that i have somewhat neglected one of the things i cherish the most... Austin.

=)

and this was created in memory of austin, by austinitas? lol. i didn't realize how little contact i kept with you guys ever since you flew, perhaps besides a few MSN conversations and a few comments in Facebook.

i was thinking. without MSN and FB, i might have totally forget to contact you. i know hui theng and uma periodically calls subby. i bet yiling and yoke peng calls and receive calls, jian wei and vincent and eu win and all those people out there in the states. and i am also aware that i am not close to airina and e-jieh at all, seldom talk to hui theng min and nico and muammar and boon hui and samuel and yong sam and nouri and kuteng despite being in the same college still...

and today yoke peng called me. and i was close to rejecting the call because it was an "unknown" number. and thank god i didn't. we talked for a good 30 minutes, mainly of her telling me her life there. *and making me grateful i didn't enter NU, lol, seems God did have a plan for me that doesn't include flying in one year* thank you Yoke Peng, i love you! i have no idea how much it had cost you... but you know, my gratitude is overflowing =)

and now i do feel a sense of guilt. when you flew, i did not send any of you off. even through unfavorable schedules, something can be worked out, but i didn't want to... sorry =(

you know, i'm going to call someone soon. after this headache of projects and tests. whack me if i forget!

i love you guys, you know? and now i miss you so much. take care =)

2008-09-26T21:54:00.002+08:00

Home Sweet Home!! =)

holidays + home = SUPERB

i know it's a bit too much for me to say since i go home every week, but there is really no where that can beat home. loving family, comfortable bed, aircond, water heater, great food, him- what else could i ask more? haha

this one week break really came in the right time. i'm exhausted of calculus, physics, chemistry, technical writing...deprived of proper rest..i'm like a panda bear now (trust me, look at my eye bag)..haha..

right now, i am going to enjoy my hols to the fullest!!! it's time to catch up with people, church, sleep, shopping, tv (the list will never end..haha)

adios for now =)

A QUICK UPDATE

2008-09-18T03:49:00.003+08:00

throwing a quick post here...

to all Paprik lovers,

I'm doing well. I'm enjoying myself. I'm broke. I hate doing my homework. I tried dancing (salsa and waltz). I still hate physics. I am getting fatter (I don't know how, I've been walking and walking and walking). I'm going shopping this weekend (still the same old me, broke but want to shop!). I miss going for a late night drink with you guys. I MISS YOU GUYS!!! I want a hug from everyone!

to Eugene,

I miss you. I guess that sums it all up.

to all my INTEC friends (Mei Yueh, Tim, Jian wei, Q, Shereen, Uma and many many more),

Life without you guys just ain't the same. Seriously.
p/s: Uma, I saw someone who looks like you!!!

to May (if you ever see this),

I miss smsing you!!!!!!!!!!! Come to US one day. We can go on a shopping spree again!

I have so many things to blog about: orientation, the campus, restaurant week (went to a fabulous Jap restaurant=p), Chinatown trip, Malaysians at Penn, the activities I joined, my college dorm, life here etc) but I'm so behind work. I'm sorry. =p I will take more pics (am trying very hard to, but I always forget)

LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Simple Truths

2008-08-28T18:21:00.006+08:00

"Our purpose is not to complain about the steepness of the climb, but to help each other on the way that is often difficult and sometimes perilous. And in the end, all that we do should not be done to glorify ourselves, but to serve others." - Oliver North

Simple Truths shares some very inspiring words.

Every few days I will receive an email from Mac Anderson sharing some small stories and inspiring words. I love a lot of the things Mac Anderson talked about in the newsletter. I am not promoting his books, videos, websites or anything, but his ideas.

This is one of the email I received.

An excerpt from The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale

George Bernard Shaw said, "People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, they make them."

Well, it's pretty apparent, isn't it? And every person who discovered this believed (for a while) that he was the first one to work it out. We become what we think about.

Conversely, the person who has no goal, who doesn't know where he's going, and whose thoughts must therefore be thoughts of confusion, anxiety and worry - his life becomes one of frustration, fear, anxiety and worry. And if he thinks about nothing... he becomes nothing.

How does it work? Why do we become what we think about? Well, I'll tell you how it works, as far as we know. To do this, I want to tell you about a situation that parallels the human mind.

Suppose a farmer has some land, and it's good, fertile land. The land gives the farmer a choice; he may plant in that land whatever he chooses. The land doesn't care. It's up to the farmer to make the decision.

We're comparing the human mind with the land because the mind, like the land, doesn't care what you plant in it. It will return what you plant, but it doesn't care what you plant.

Now, let's say that the farmer has two seeds in his hand- one is a seed of corn, the other is nightshade, a deadly poison. He digs two little holes in the earth and he plants both seeds-one corn, the other nightshade. He covers up the holes, waters and takes care of the land...and what will happen? Invariably, the land will return what was planted.

As it's written in the Bible, "As ye sow, so shall ye reap."

Remember the land doesn't care. It will return poison in just as wonderful abundance as it will corn. So up come the two plants - one corn, one poison.

The human mind is far more fertile, far more incredible and mysterious than the land, but it works the same way. It doesn't care what we plant...success...or failure. A concrete, worthwhile goal...or confusion, misunderstanding, fear, anxiety and so on. But what we plant it must return to us.

You see, the human mind is the last great unexplored continent on earth. It contains riches beyond our wildest dreams. It will return anything we want to plant.

I find those ideas to be very true. Hence, I want to share with everyone this little simple truth I found in the Internet. =)

Off They Fly

2008-08-08T11:36:00.006+08:00

It has never occur to me the fact that everyone is so near to the DAY when they are going to fly to another continent at another part of the world, not until today. When I received a SMS saying goodbye, it hits me that everyone is going to fly soon, some today. Time flies again unrealized by me. I feel weird today. I don't know how to describe it. But, I feel weird. Everyone is going to fly, I am going to fly, in 37 days. Wow!

Shafique is flying off today (August 8) with those who are going to Pennsylvania State University. I am glad that at least I managed to send a good bye and good luck to him before he boarded the plane. He is the first person in INTEC that called me 玉萍, besides my high school friends. It's really fun to talk with him especially in Chinese on some "mildly" sensitive issues. =P I will miss you. =)

Five more days on August 13, another few of my friends are flying off too. They are going to Carnegie Mellon University.
Yiling, you are one of the smartest girl I have ever met. Even though we are not that close, I still treasure our friendship a lot. Do visit me at NU. =)
Liang Yeet, my vice president, you are sometime super annoying. But, I like you and all your lame jokes nonetheless. Thanks for making my life at INTEC full with laughter, but no thanks for pairing me up with people. =P
Koon Hwa aka Lost, you are the blur-est person in INTEC I guess. Got lost for once, and got famous as Lost forever. Don't forget your 宝贝, when you are at CMU. Must love her always. =P

This weekend, on August 17, another few of my friends are flying off to Michigan University.
Jian Wei, I don't know what to say to you. You have been very nice to me. Thanks for your help all this while. Recently, I realize that your name always appears whenever I am with Austin girls. "If Jian Wei is here, he is going to......" "If Jian Wei knows about this, he will......" You should be happy that so many girls are going to miss you. =P
Fu Han, you are super super funny. Some people might find you a little annoying, and sometimes I do as well, but you have always made my day nicer with all your funny and most of the time lame comments. I will definitely remember you and your boxers. =P

Last but not least, on August 25, Sabrina is flying off to University of Pennsylvania. Eu Win is going there too, but I am not sure about the date. I think he should be flying to UPenn around that time as well.
Sabrina, you are not indescribable. =P Don't just remember to go New Zealand and forget to find me at NU. =P See you at US.
Eu Win, my hometown friend, not that I know about it until last year. But, who cares? =P I think everyone except some guys will agree with me that you are the most gentleman guy in Austin. Thanks for your help all this while. You have shown me that BM High School is still a good school at BM like it used to be long time ago. =)

I think that's all for August.

On September 12, Timothy and Mei Yueh is flying off to Stanford University.
Timothy, my class reps, thanks for helping me when my laptop crash last time and when I need help in computer problems. You have made Austin a great class to be in. =)
Mei Yueh, you are so lucky to get into you no. 1 dream school, Timothy as well. Envy you two. I will definitely go California one day. =)

Among the used-to-be ADFP juniors, I am the last one to fly. So, I guess nobody is going to send me. =( Just joking. =P

I just want to wish everyone flying off to US mentioned and not mentioned above (I am sorry, I can't mention everyone here.)

Good Luck
&
All The Best

I am going to miss you all. =)
Everyone is welcome to visit me at NU. =)

And, those who are staying at INTEC for another year. Good luck to you in your applications and everything. I didn't forget you okay. I will miss you as well. =)

Gosh. That is so not me. =P

p.s.: I have posted this in both blogs, my own blog and Paprik Lovers so that everyone can read it. So, this is not a plagiarism. =P

p.p.s.:I know a lot of goodbye posts have been posted in a lot of blogs. But, I still feel like posting this one. So, just bear with me.

p.p.p.s.:This is my first proper post in Paprik Lovers, okay. Not just random jokes or facts or quizzes. =)

Sex and Bruise

2008-08-04T09:44:00.007+08:00

Now now, don't get over excited. When I say "Sex", I mean...

I've never watched the series because I find them quite boring. But, the movie is surprisingly entertaining! A movie about love lost, love found, forgiveness, friendship and yea, lots of SEX.

What I love most about this movie - the way Charlotte fiercely protects Carrie against Big after Big decides to not go on with the wedding. The furious look Charlotte throws at Big is TOUCHING! It shows how much she cares for and loves her friend. It shows a friendship so strong, so united. (I sound so mushy)

And a poem by Beethoven...

"ever mine,
ever thine,
ever us."

A seriously entertaining movie to watch after a stressful day of Bio or Calculus :)

Now, don't forget about "Bruise". I can seriously imagine what Jian Wei would have thought of when he first read the title. Hard sex leading to bruises, right Jian Wei? :p

Now, this is MY BRUISE. And I got it by absentmindedly walking into a strong-hard-wooden chair in church.

OUCH!

Am I Ready?

2008-08-01T12:17:00.004+08:00

I’m going to US in less than a month, and this is how much I’ve packed.

My list:
1. A laundry bag
2. A coat ( thanks dear =) )
3. A shampoo
4. Colgate =p
5. Facial cleanser
6. Aspirin and Plaster
7. Nth else
8. Mei you le
9. Tak ada lagi
10. NTH

How much lazier can I go? :p

So far, I have been lazing around, doing nothing except cleaning my cupboard occasionally and engrossing myself in CHICK LITS (they are so good, sigh)! I was supposed to revise Physics, but thanks to CHICK LITS (there’s so many at home, my sis’s fault), I have been procrastinating and until now, I have successfully finished, hmm, don’t want to say la, PAISEH...

Textbooks not ordered, ticket not confirmed, Penn card not registered, forms not filled, SUITCASE NOT PACKED... I’m not ready to go to US.

Read this. It's so cool...... and funny. =P

Quoted from here.

XXXXXX

Something Americans might find interesting (and the rest of us will find funny!)
When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ball-point pens would not work in zero gravity.

To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion developing a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300° C.

The Russians used a pencil.

Dear John:

I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy--will you let me be yours?

How To Be A Gangsta (In 5 Simple Steps)

1. You have to master the swagger of your typical homie. Watch MTV for inspiration, then imitate the ridiculous walk of your favourite rap star.If you find yourself having difficulties, visualize yourself with a massive case of hemmorhoids, and/or a pickle shoved up your ass. A big pickle.

**CHECKLIST**

-- Are your feet wider apart than your shoulders?
-- Do you have a decided backwards slant to your torso?
-- Do your knuckles hit the back of your calves?
If so, then you can continue.

2. Language is very important. When attempting to fit in with the rap community, you must forget everything you have learned about the English language and how to speak it properly. It helps if you have some sort of speech impediment, preferably one which makes you sound like you have a mouth full of oatmeal at any given point. Remember, contractions are your new god. Practice at home, at the bus station, at school; anywhere you can.

TRANSLATION GUIDE:

yo'ma'ma = A derogatory term, used to insult your mother. (Note: this is supposed to incense you.)
word, y'all = Something roughly equivalent to hello. Variations on this are many:
what'up ho'mes; word to yo'ma'ma; yo y'all (pl. y'allz); what'up; what'da word from'da 'hood; and others.
you best be steppin' = You should leave, before the speaker decides to hurt you.
I'm a gon'open a can of whoop'ass on y'all = I will beat you up.
watch'or mouf, man = It would probably be a wise idea, when this is heard, to shut up.
mofo = Motherf***er, in the new hip short talk.
I gots ta bounce = Roughly equivalent to goodbye.
cruisin' = walking about aimlessly, shoving each other into old people and laughing uproariously, whilst calling each other mofos.

**CHECKLIST**

-- Do you use four-letter words within 30 seconds of each other?
-- Can you drop a syllable off of every word without thinking about it?
-- Can you omit words such as "of" and "to" with ease?
-- Would you be unintelligible to your aunts or uncles?
If not, you'd better practice a little more.

3. You'll have to acquire a g' name. 2-Pac is a popular one, as is Biggie. (For more information, see "people" section below.) Or, there's always shortening your name to the first letter of your first name, then adding an adjective. For example, there's Lil' J, or Big R. You can also go with just the adjective: Slim, Shorty, etc. You'll fit right in.

**CHECKLIST**

-- Does your name sound stupid?
Well, since this is the only evident requirement, on we go.

4. You'll need to be hip to the rap gurus of the moment. A commonly idolized rapper, 2-Pac, was shot some time ago. In the "softcore" rap crowd, Ma$e and Puff Daddy are really cool. Busta Rhymes, Lil' Kim, Biggie Smalls (also dead), Snoop Doggy Dog and Dr. Dre are also cult favourites. Feel free to mix 'n' match at will.

With the celebrities, come the "sides". There's Westside and Eastside. They have nothing to do with where you are on a map. To demonstrate your undying allegiance to the Westside, cross the two middle fingers on one hand, and wave that hand about profusely, whilst shouting "Wess'ide, man..Wess'ide!" This will go over big. The Eastside sign is formed by turning the previously-made W upside down, in the shape of an M. One will shout "Yo'mofos! Eass'ide rules!" or something of that ilk. Make sure, before you attempt the hand signs, that you're with a group of the same patriotism, or else you'll get a can of whoop'ass opened on you. Y'all, rather.

**CHECKLIST**

-- Can you name the past five rap stars to have gotten shot?
-- Can you wave your hands about with sufficient fury to give yourself carpal tunnel syndrome?
-- Are you scared of your own idiocy?
Let's hope so. These are crucial before moving on to the last section.

5. G' clothing is rather simple. For pants, all you need to do is cruise the local mall until you find a really fat person. Check out the waist size on his jeans, then head to the nearest store playing rap music to buy a matching pair. They must also be long. You'll know you've made a good buy when you have three yards of fabric bunched about your ankles. You must wear them low-slung as well. The prerequisite, an assumed few pairs of cool boxer shorts, should be mostly hanging out. But to complete your lower half, you must own a stylin' belt. The purpose of this belt is not altogether clear, save for it holds your pants firmly against your upper thighs and restricts movement, making the rap strut easier. Trust me.

As for what kind of pants to wear, army pants (in any, and all, colours), jeans, tearaways and cargo pants will all do nicely.

On your top half, you should wear shirts which would fit the fat man at the mall. At the same store where you bought your pants, you will find the bright colours that are a necessity to successful gangsta dress. Oranges, yellows, and greens are especially good. T-shirts are acceptable, provided they have sleeves that reach halfway down your forearm, and that they come at least halfway down your thigh. Sweatshirts should be almost as long, and have either Nike or Fubu emblazoned across the front. Never, EVER get caught dead in a sweater. Jackets are easy. All you need is something that's shiny, bright, and looks like it would fit a 300-pound Eskimo, as well as be suitable for said Eskimo's environmental surroundings.

For shoes, again, Nikes and Fubus are the best. Reeboks and Adidases are fine for the beginning g'. They have to have cost at least $150, and be shiny and bright. You might as well forget how to tie knots, because the gangsta who ties his shoes up, gets beat up. You can accessorize with one of those key chain straps (the ones that circle your neck) that seem to be all the rage. It must say Fubu on it, of course. A hat is good, as long as it's got one of the previously-mentioned trade names on it. Turn the hat sideways for extra respect. That's spelled R-E-S-P-E-C-T. You can always go with a handkerchief as well, with the hat or alone. Snoop Doggy Dog wears one, if you need celebrity reinforcement.

**CHECKLIST**

-- Could you put on 200+ pounds and not have it be noticed while dressed?
-- Could you fit your entire family into one single pantleg?
-- When you walk, are you perpetually close to tripping/falling over?
-- Is your shirt long enough to cover someone seven feet tall?
It appears, with the above questions answered affirmatively, that you've completed my tutorial and are now a fledgeling gangsta, prepared for the wide world of rap. Happy g'ing!

If you receive an email entitled "Rumplestiltskin" delete it immediately. Do not open it. It will not only erase everything on your hard drive, but it will also delete anything on disks within 20 feet of your computer.

It demagnetises the stripes on ALL of your credit cards. It reprograms your ATM access code, screws up the tracking on your VCR and uses subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you attempt to play. It will re-calibrate your refrigerator's coolness settings so all your ice cream melts and your milk curdles. It will program your phone autodial to call only your mother-in-law's number.

Its radioactive emissions will cause your toe jam and bellybutton fuzz (be honest, you have some) to migrate behind your ears. It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing their hotel rendezvous to your Visa card.

It will cause you to run with scissors and throw things in a way that is only fun until someone loses an eye. It will give you Dutch Elm Disease and Tinea. It will rewrite your backup files, changing all your active verbs to passive tense and incorporating undetectable misspellings which grossly change the interpretations of key sentences.

If the "Rumplestiltskin" message is opened in a Windows95 environment, it will leave the toilet seat up and leave your hair dryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub. It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattresses and pillows, but it will also refill your skim milk with whole milk.

It will replace all your luncheon meat with Spam. It will molecularly rearrange your cologne or perfume, causing it to smell like dill pickles. It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve.

Instructions on how to install software - the truth!

HOW TO INSTALL SOFTWARE

1. Examine the software packaging until you find a little printed box that explains what kind of computer system you need to run the software. It should look something like this:

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
2386 PROCESSOR OR HIGHER
628.8 MEGAHERTZ MODEM
719.7 MB FREE DISK SPACE
3546 MB RAM
432323 MB ROM
05948737 MB RPM ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM

NOTE: This software will not work on your computer.

2. Open the software packaging and remove the manual. This will contain detailed instructions on installing, operating, and troubleshooting the software. Throw it away.

3. Find the actual software, which should be in the form of either a 3.5-inch floppy diskette or a CD-ROM, located inside a sealed envelope that says:

LICENSING AGREEMENT:
By breaking this seal, the user hereinafter agrees to abide by all the terms and conditions of the following agreement that nobody ever reads, as well as the Geneva Convention and the U.N. Charter and the Secret Membership Oath of the Benevolent Protective Order of the Elks and such other terms and conditions, real and imaginary, as the Software Company shall deem necessary and appropriate, including the right to come to the user's home and examine the user's hard drive, as well as the user's underwear drawer if we feel like it, take it or leave it, until death do us part, one nation indivisible, by the dawn's early light,....finders keepers, losers weepers, thanks you've been a great crowd, and don't forget to tip your servers.

4. Hand the software to a child aged 3 through 12 and say, "(Name of child), please install this on my computer."

5. If you have no child age 3 through 12, insert the software in the appropriate drive, type "SETUP" and press the Enter key.

6. Turn the computer on, you idiot.

7. Once again type "SETUP" and press the Enter key.

8. You will hear grinding and whirring noises for awhile, after which the following message should appear on your screen:

The installation Program will now examine your system to see what would be the best way to render it inoperable. Is it OK with you? Choose one, and be honest:
+-------+ +--------+ | YES | | SURE | +-------+ +--------+

9. After you make your selection, you will hear grinding and whirring for a very long time while the installation program does God knows what in there. Some installation programs can actually alter molecular structures, so that when they're done, your computer has been transformed into an entirely new device, such as a food processor. At the very least, the installation program will create many new directories, sub-directories, sub-sub-directories, on your hard drive and fill them with thousands of mysterious files with names like "puree.exe," "fester.dat," and "doo.wha."

10. When the installation program is finished, your screen should display the following message:

CONGRATULATIONS The installation program cannot think of anything else to do to your computer and has grown bored. You may now attempt to run your software. If you experience any problems, electrical shocks, insomnia, shortness of breath, nasal discharge, or intestinal parasites, you should immediately *!@!$)$%@&*^)$*!#$_$.

11. At this point your computer system should become less functional than the federal government, refusing to respond even when struck with furniture.

12. Call the toll-free Technical Support Hotline number listed on the package and wait on the line for a representative, who will explain to you, in a clear, step-by-step manner, how to adopt a child aged 3 through 12.

Have a nice day. =)

PINK GUAVA!!!

Pic is a bit dark...=p but can still see it's pink right?

Last week, Airina, Yoke Peng and Jian Wei told me that they have never seen a pink guava before. And since pink guava is one of the nicest fruit ever (ya, it is!!!), I thought I should do it justice by introducing it to everyone.

On the outside, pink guava looks the same as the normal, white guava that you eat. However, on the inside, it is pink (so cute right?=)). It is juicier than the white guava and the texture is softer. It is still crispy (is that the right term?) but with a certain tenderness, which makes it nicer than white guava. Besides that, it is SWEETER!!! Now, who wouldn't like something that is sweet (not overly sweet la)?

So guys, try the pink guava!!! It's full of Vitamin C (the rind apparently has more Vitamin C than citrus fruits) and it's tasty.

Can't find one in West Malaysia? Come to Kuching, to my home. I have huge supplies here=)

Laughter Is The Best Medicine

2008-07-12T15:18:00.003+08:00

Hello, everyone!

This is my first post here. I was occupied with my own blog. Hence, a late welcome post here.
Welcome to Paprik Lovers. =)

Here is something to share with everyone. Take sometime from Calculus-ing, Chemistry-ing, Physics-ing, holiday-ing or whatever-ing and read this. It is totally good for your health since laughter is the best medicine. And thus, your grades will be great because you will have a healthy body to cope with study. Or, your days will be better since laughter made one's days nicer. =P

Just in case you are too stressed or too free......

Let me introduce you to our all time favorite man in this world.......

Ah Beng!

The Best of Ah Beng

Ah Beng bought a new mobile.
He sent a message to everyone from his Phone Book & said, "My Mobile No. Has changed. Earlier it was Nokia 3310. Now it is 6610"

Ah Beng : I am a Proud, coz my son is in Medical College.
Friend : Really, what is he studying.
Ah Beng : No, he is not studying, they are Studying him.

Ah Beng : Doctor, in my dreams, I play football every night.
DR : Take this tablet, you will be ok.
Ah Beng : Can I take tomorrow, tonight is final game.

Ah Beng : If I die, will u remarry?
Wife : No! I'll stay with my sister. But if I die will u remarry?
Ah Beng : No, I'll also stay with your sister.

Ah Beng : People consider me as a "GOD"
Wife : How do you know??
Ah Beng : When I went to the Park today, everybody said, Oh GOD! U have come again.

Ah Beng complained to the police : "Sir, all items are missing, except the TV in my house."
Police : "How the thief did not take TV?"
Ah Beng : "I was watching TV news..."

Ah Beng comes back 2 his car & find a note saying "Parking Fine"
He Writes a note and sticks it to a pole "Thanks for complement."

How do you recognize Ah Beng in School?
He is the one who erases the notes from the book when the teacher erases the board.

Once Ah Beng was walking he had a glove on one hand and not on other.
So the man asked him why he did so. He replied that the weather forecast announced that on one hand it would be cold and on the other hand it would be hot.

Ah Beng in a bar and his cellular phone rings. He picks it up and Says "Hello, how did you know I was here?"

Ah Beng : Why are all these people running?
Man : This is a race, the winner will get the cup
Ah Beng : If only the winner will get the cup, why others running?

Teacher : "I killed a person" convert this sentence into future tense
Ah Beng : The future tense is "u will go to jail"

Ah Beng told his servant : "Go and water the plants!"
Servant : "It's already raining."
Ah Beng : "So what? Take an umbrella and go."

A man asked Ah Beng why Ahmad Badawi goes walking in the Evening and not in the morning.
Ah Beng replied Ahmad Badawi is PM not AM.

Have a good laugh?

Yes. Great. =D
No. You have no sense of humor, Ah Beng. Just joking. =P

Have a nice day. =)

Why Can't We Fly Together?

2008-07-06T23:07:00.024+08:00

Classes start today, but I’m at home.

It’s kind of sad to not be in the crowd anymore, to be leading a different path from everyone else.

It feels kind of weird, to not be able to walk up a floor and find Hui Theng in her room, or open my unit’s door and invite myself into Liz’s room. I won’t be seeing Airina in the bus anymore and there won’t be any more crazy Austin gathering. Jian Wei won’t come hitting my head every morn and Tim won’t sms me in the middle of the night asking for help in Calculus.

Many words to say, but I do not know how to express myself. So, here I express my thanks to everyone who has helped shaped my INTEC life into something memorable and enjoyable (I can’t believe I am using this word).

To Hui Theng,

Thanks for the laughter u brought to my life, the encouragement and support you gave me when I was waiting for results from the universities. Getting lost together, jogging before a paprik meal, pumping our first petrol are memories I will keep forever. Continue to follow God in your daily life, have faith in Him. I will miss you a lot.

To Airina,

I still remember the first interesting thing you told me about yourself. You said you can sneeze 11 times without stopping and I was flabbergasted! Not because it’s amazing (I mean, it is...), but because I sneezed 11 times continuously before too. Haha. I will miss shopping with you and I won’t forget the hardship we went through applying for ED/EA. Enjoy your last year in INTEC, you still have Hui Theng there. Stay compact=)

To Liz,

You were the one who stayed with me throughout the 3 semesters. Thanks for never refusing to help me even though sometimes, you need to go an extra mile just to help me. You are beautiful and smart, be confident of yourself. Even though you can get REALLY competitive sometimes, but that’s what I love about you. Strive on, baby! Never think that you are not good enough. I wish for a day that I will see you as someone who is confident with herself. HUGSSS...

To Yoke Peng,

Thanks for being a great source of information throughout the whole application and registering process, haha. You are the youngest among us, yet I have always felt that you are the strongest among us all. You do not complain over little things; you take life as it is. I admire you. Keep in touch. We will rock US together!!!!

To Tim,

You made Austin a class fun to be in. Thanks for organizing the ATU grad dinner, as well as the other Austin gatherings. I didn’t mind answering your cal questions; need more help? Just ask=) But no late night ques k? Have fun in Stanford, I will be visiting you soon. And at that time, you have to bring me around yea?

To Jian Wei,

Thanks for being a great friend, but NO thanks for hitting me in the head all the time. I will miss your “bang balls”, “shit bricks”, “morning sunflower”, “no hugs and kisses” comments. Visit me in Penn ok?

To Mei Yueh,

I will miss your doraemon ring tone=) No more buying fish for the cat or late night studying together d. No more cramming for Cal together as well. I will remember you ( I have the doraemon tissue box cover=p) and I will miss all the fun we had together. Remember your bday? Haha... At least you won’t have things like your shorts disappearing from your room anymore huh?=) I’ll see you in winter!!! (fingers crossed)

To E-jieh,

No thanks for calling me “animal hater”. Fyi, I’m just scared of furry animals. Still, thanks for making me laugh by stealing and gobbling down Hui Theng’s jelly during the Saisaki trip and by making stupid and random comments on people’s certain part of the body.

To Yiling,

Thanks for hosting us twice; I love PD!!!!!! See you in Penn and we shall go shopping in New York ok? Apparently, outlets in US have like really nice and branded goods and they sell them at a really good bargain, hehe. Don’t forget me on any of your shopping spree k?=)

To the rest ( Uma, Liang Yeet, Sze Yin, Amy, Shereen, Eu Win, Q etc ), thanks for everything you have done for me. I assure you, without you guys, life in INTEC won’t be the same. I wish all of you the best in everything you do and KEEP IN TOUCH!!! You can spam me or whatsoever, just KEEP IN TOUCH!!!

Anything and Whatever

2008-06-30T11:43:00.003+08:00

I went to my aunt's house last week, and I went to Jusco. There.. I saw two very very cute drinks,

Now, no more excuse to,

"What do you want to drink?"

"Anything"

"You?"

"Whatever."

~drumroll~

INTRODUCING..... ANYTHING AND WHATEVER!

Whatever!

Anything!

Whatever is a non-carbonated drink package that comes in 6 different flavors; among which is Ice Lemon Tea and Chrysanthemum Tea.

Anything is a carbonated drink package with seven flavors spanning, orange. fizzy lemon, etc etc.

Just drinks you'd say, nothing spectacular. But it is so so so so cute because YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT"S INSIDE!

Yup. You have no idea what is inside. There are six and seven possible flavors, but the individual cans are not labelled with the content. You will not know what's inside until you pop it open and try! (The sample they gave free at the counter: I got Ice Lemon Tea, and it tasted great =) )

Interesting, no? You ask for whatever, you get whatever.

TRY IT! I wanted to but they only sell in half dozen packs, I can't drink all six in one day. =(

So hint to Jusco: Sell them individually for us to sample, and pay me for advertising for you!

Hehehehehe. Do check them out! =)

Started on the wrong foot from the beginning...

2008-06-25T22:14:00.000+08:00

Have you ever got lost on the way to a shopping center and ended up in the place where you started? Have you ever parked your car in a shopping center parking lot and when you are done with shopping, you cannot locate the car? Have all these things happened to you in one day? Well, it did, to me. Actually, not just me.

Let me retell the story…

After “screwing” our final calculus test, A, B and C decided to go shopping in Sunway. A was confident that she knows the way down, so A decided to drive. HOWEVER, A missed an exit and soon, it was chaotic in the car. Below are examples of conversations that took place:

A: How now, how now?
B: Don’t panic. Just follow the signboard.
C: (silent)
A: How can I miss the exit? How can I be so stupid? Aiyo….
B: Where are we now?
C: (silent)

So, A, B and C took a LOOOOONNNG way to….nope, not Sunway, but SHAH ALAM, where they started from. LOL!
After reaching Sunway AN HOUR later, A, B and C went to watch a movie and shop. Everything went well; A and C went lingerie shopping, B bought a top. Dinner was pleasant and soon it was time to go home.

Then, the next drama unfolds…

A: Where’s the car ar? I remember I said we should go up 2 floors to reach the parking lot…
B: It’s not this floor la. It’s one floor up.
C: I don’t remember which floor.
A: There, that’s the “green light” signboard I saw just now.
B: But, the car is not here!

So, do you know where the car was? B was right: one floor up!(There was another “green light” signboard one floor up) And they spent more than 15 minutes trying to find the car on the other floor!

Yea, they’ve got the car. But, how do they get out from the parking lot??? All the freaking arrows point to the same side!!!!!!

“Keluar -->”

Yea, A followed the sign…But, in the end, this was what they saw: “More Parking -->”, freaking weird.

In the end (after turning round and round for like 5 times? And asking a guard), they managed to find their way out.

But, it does not end there.

On their way back, they took a detour to the petrol station. 3 girls who have never pumped petrol in their whole lives tried it for the first time.

A: How do I open the thingy to pump the petrol?
B: (sweat)It’s at the side there…open your door and look for it.
A: Oh, ok. I found it.

So, they started pumping RM12 worth of petrol. (I know I know. It’s just around 4 liters.) Suddenly…

A: Hey, this thing is not long enough. I cannot reach the car.

So, A had to move the car while B and C held the pumping thingy.

Nothing happened after that. Everything went smoothly and they got back safe and sound. The journey wasn’t a smooth ride from the beginning. But, A, B and C enjoyed all the little adventures and learnt many lessons (like never miss an exit on the highway…).

Now, guess who is A, B and C? =)

Prizes for those who guess correctly =p

why paprik?

2008-06-13T17:45:00.023+08:00

subby: hui theng, so we go jog at 445. den, we shower and eat paprik at 6 k? oh yea, plus mango juice (smiling brightly, flashing her white teeth, can sense a longing in her..longing for PAPRIK)
el tinker: alright..no problem

at 6.30(after dinner),

subby: i was yearning for paprik earlier..now i am satisfied(grinning widely)..nice food
liz: u like pregnant lady only..pregnant lady only yearn for certain food..and very happy when she gets it..

note: subby can be seen blushing..well..her face..as red as paprik..

thus, this has become a routine for us..1st, jogging, shower, paprik..

(about liz comment on pregnant lady, we do not know whether subby is pregnant or not..well, it depends on u guys to decide..)

3) elizabeth a.k.a ms liz

liz, disciple no 3, used to hate paprik..but like many fairytale stories,

on one fateful day, she decided to try paprik (after many persistent attempts by our sifu) and once she tried it,

"one taste, and my fate was sealed, paprik: my secret love, unveiled!"-quoted by liz herself.

4) yiling a.k.a yi ling

(our sifu and yiling)

yiling, being the disciple no 4, has a famous saying ' my baby wans paprik tonight'.. eh, another pregnant woman? no la u DOINK!! baby refers to her stomach..use la ur brain "p
i am not sure how she came to know paprik..but often, u can see her and uma waiting patiently at cemara stall..of course..for the sake of PAPRIK!!

last but not least,

5) airina a.k.a sleeping beauty

she is the last disciple of yoke peng SO FAR(sifu will continue preaching) and she only tried paprik once..she din even finish hers..BUT..she is still one of the disciples simply because she said "hao qi" (delicious) when she was eating it..so..her fate is sealed too..she is our disciple no 5

and so...

this was how the name paprik lovers came about..due to our undying faithfulness to nasi paprik..

(all of us..minus off the guys)

we, the paprik lovers, in the name of calculus, take paprik as our favourite food, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poor, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish paprik, until we are parted by death. this is our solemn vow

Welcome!

Finally. A blog we discussed about for weeks!

Once you accept the invitation to be an author~ the next time I go online I will grant you admin privileges. Hence, the blog is free for you to play with~ to play with colors and templates and links and so on and so forth. Do work your magic here! And I am pretty sure we will all agree not to tamper with each other posts, so no worries there. ;-) I have done close to nothing with the layout (lazy lah~ need to study calculus =P) so fire away. I know all of you are more creative than me.

When we have more stuff on board (like a design, lol), then shall we put a link to this on our personal blogs? Or do you want to keep this private? I think we better agree on this point before doing anything else...

I know I sound too... naggish. But well, I don't want to be scolded for linking this in the future! Hahaha.

Look forward to reading the blogs of Austin gals Fall 2007... The only one missing is Azlina... unfortunately. sigh. But though I am not one to gossip, I'm sure that she is preoccupied with her Harry Potter~ but Azlina, if you ever read this and want to join us, leave a comment with your email address, and hey presto! I will add you as an author! =)

Let's get started! Hui Theng has claimed the right to elaborate on why this blog is named papriklovers.com as well as the right to introduce the members of this blog.

Have fun! =)
