Blood Diamond
Reached KLCC and went to get tickets for the movie. As i was walking towards the ticket counter, i bumped into my ex-classmate from Miri! I haven't seen him since Primary 5 and it was totally a shock to see him. He was also shocked that i still could recognise him even after 10 years? I still can remember his full name, David Ting Ming Yee! cool eh....
and so.....Blood Diamond is a good show, you guys should go watch it....But remember, please don't bring your kids. Its very gruesome and bloody, totally not suitable for kids to watch... it even grossed me out!
Leonardo was good and has matured loads since Titanic! His versitily in acting is one that i admire! The movie had loads of violence but had a bit of soft touch to it in terms of love, both between family, and between 2 people who found love unexpectedly!
The movie is about how diamond is smuggled out of Africa thru the torture and killings of their own people. How kids were exploited into killers are just too heart-breaking. The kids were brain washed to believe that everyone is against them and those against then should die! This group of people are called the RUF (a terrorist group formed in the 1980s in Sierra Leone and they seek to overthrow the government and gain control of the diamond producing regions. They are also responsible for attacks on civilians and children, widespread torture and murder and using children to commit atrocities and sponsored by the president of Liberia), Revolutionary United Front.
At least the show ended where one sacrifices his own life for the reunion of a family. Touching at very heart-warming despite what the people who were victimized suffered worse that one could imagine!
Go watch this movie!! and by the end of the movie, you'll make sure the next diamond you buy, may it be a ring, a pendant or just a simple diamond, be a conflict-free diamond!!!

Jinxed!
The KTM train... what can i say about it?
Reached the station and there was a queue at the ticket counter, they were working so bloody slow that i missed the train... but anyway, that wasn't so bad lar...
Got on the next train, reached the next station, Batang Benar. It stopped there for awhile, then the announcement came -" Tren ini akan berhenti untuk sementara waktu kerana lampu isyarat di stesen Bangi mengalami masalah." I was telling myself "chill, don't worry, still got plenty of time!". After 10 minutes or so, the train started moving...PHEW..and it was catching up speed...yes!
Everything was fine until we reached Serdang Station. Picked up the passengers and there and then everything went bad! We started going backwards! Everyone on the train went blur and didn't know what the hell was going on! and still we were going backwards! At that time, I was already irritated! 2 times in a row, how unlucky the day must be for me!! "Tren ini akan berhenti untuk sementara waktu kerana tren di stesen Bandar Tasik Selatan mengalami kerosakan." ARGH!!!!!! Can anything be worse than that? and i was rushing for time because i already made plans with William to watch movie at 11.15am and we were suppose to meet at 10.30am. It was already 10 plus when the train started moving. Was stranded there for about 15-20 minutes in the stuffy train (the crowd grew from no one to sardine can)!
Managed to reach Midvalley only at about 10.45. Decided not to watch the 1115 movie because it was too risking with time. So chose to catch the 1.40pm movie! Had loads to time to kill so had lunch, did some shopping!! I guess the shopping made me forget how unlucky i was before!!! WAKAKA...sorry will, for dragging you along everywhere!!!!
so i guess there was both good and bad that happened today... But am i contented? YES....am I broke? YES!!
and oh ya! Will, Your piercing looks cool on you!! I'm sure it will give you very exciting experiences!!!! *naughty naughty*

Colour Pencils
My colour pencils are stored in a small pencil case. They are a collection of colour pencils ever since god knows when! Seriously, they are inherited from my sister, my brother and some of my own. The pencils are used till it is so short that at the site of it, you’ll laugh you heads off! If I showed my collection to a small kid like my niece, I’m quite sure that she will tell me that hers is a lot better.
All these colour pencils are at least 10 years old and since that I don’t use them as often as I used to when I was a kid, so it is no point getting one whole new set again. I’m sure I have so many colours that I can compete with those 46 colour pencil set!
Look what's inside!

Samamengmengyo!
At first, we all were thinking the same....It's a word that my niece, Jia Wen created today. The whole day, she went on "Samamengmengyo! Samamengmengyo!"
So we asked her what it meant. At first, she wanted to play with my mum, so she said that it meant "play with her". Then when her father disturbed her, she shouted "samamengmengyo! samamengmengyo!".. so now it meant "don't disturb me"..
Later in the afternoon, after I came back from class, she wanted me to keep her toys so she went on "samamengmengyo!samamengmengyo!". So I ask her "what does "samamengmengyo" mean?"...and she reply "keep"
Its hilarious to see that she uses it to her conveniece!
Samamengmengyo to all of you!!! (it's up to you what the word means!)
Have a wonderful samamengmengyo, spend it with those you love and samamengmengyo!

New Year's Eve Party in Port Dickson!!
Hot Chicks
Went to one of the guys house to get changed for the beach and left for the beach at about 7. The guys started the fire and got to start bbq-ing at about 9? It was late but we were not hungry because we ate something when we arrived PD.
people bbq-ing and eating
Although we didn’t know the crowd, they made us feel comfortable and soon we got to know them better and started to joke around. Some of the guys even shared some of their love stories! How cute!!! Janu stood out like a sore thumb, being the only Indian there. Hahaha. But I guess she didn’t really feel it as the guys were really friendly!
My comfy slippers
Janu and I
Fireworks were going off all around. Even though it wasn’t midnight yet, fireworks were everywhere. Some from individuals, some from the hotels nearby. It was unexpected as we were on the beach and thought that it would be a quite beach!
Fireworks
FriendsWe hung at the beach till about 4am and started to clean up. Reached home so tired and had just enough energy to take a shower. Plopped on the bed and I was dead to the world!
Woke up deprived from sleep and got ready to go for breakfast. The breakfast was bad (no offence to Ah Kang who brought us there) because the service was slow, the place was hot, and the food was bleh!
And with that, we all headed for home! Thanks guys for making this one a memorable one! Hope to see you guys soon! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Holiday Reads
These are the books that i've read during this holiday!! They have certainly kept me entertained for the whole 2 months!
April Fool's Day- Its about the author's son who grew up with Heamophilia and later with AIDS...Its about how he and his family, his lover go through life with it till the last days of his life. Its a good book to read and it makes you feel so lucky to be healthy and without any life-threatening disease! A very touching story about love and life!
Vanishing Acts- As you all know, i read a lot of Jodi Picoult books and this is one of the latest i got. This book is about a women who finds out in her 30s that she was kidnapped by her own father from her mother. She was made to believe that her mother was dead. After almost 30 years of not knowing the whole truth, she is in search of her true identity. Read the synopsis here.
The Memory Keeper's Daughter- This book is about a doctor who deliver his own twins. One is healthy and normal and the other one with down syndrome. He makes a split second decision to give the daughter with down syndrome to a nurse to bring her to an institution. However the nurse runs away from the town with the child and raises the kid on her own. This act done by the doctor haunts him for life as he kept this secret from his own family and those around him! Nice book...looking forward to reading more of Kim Edward's Book!
Happy New Year 2007!
In terms of studies...I'm doing quite well, eventhough my results for last semester was quite bad.
In terms of family... We've got an additional member who came just last month, Ooi Jia Xiang.
In terms of social life... Bolehla, I've got my closest friends around me...that's good enough!!Made tons on new friends too...especially at the very last day of 2006!
So anyway, I pray and hope that this new year will bring me and all those I love everything good and loads and loads of LOVE!! and it goes out to all of you reading this! I really hope that you guys will be blessed with everything good and prosperity!!! May this year bring you HAPPINESS!
I was going through my archives and I looked back on my resolutions that I made for 2006
this was for 2006..
1. Maintain at least a B average for my studies!!!
2. To lose weight.... at least be about 55kg....
3. Be more motivated....and not sit my fat ass doing nothing!!
4. Be grateful, dont take things for granted....
i guess the only thing that i didn't really accomplish was to lose weight! DARN....stupid lar..i blame it all on my genes? hahahah...However, one thing that i was really proud of doing this year was passing my lifeguard exam!! I was really happy about that because in the beginning i really thought that i was not able to do it...BUT i did..so i'm happy!
So now...to make my new year resolutions for 2007!
1. To study hard and get in to a good Uni overseas for my final year!
2. To exercise more ( i dont want to say "to lose weight" cuz that aint gonna happen so easily)
3. Do something useful after finishing in Inti
4. Be kind, be generous, be ME!!!
there...i think that should me good enough for now..i dont expect much...and i do not what to hope to much and be disappointed in the end!
Most of you might know that this coming semester in INTI will be my final semester there and after this i'll be going overseas for my final (third) year. Not sure where i'll be going yet because it all depends on my results and the major that i want to persue in the end! I think that would be the biggest decision that i would have to make this year!
Hence with that.... HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF MY READERS, FRIENDS AND FAMILY!! YOU GUYS ROCK AND HAVE FUN WITH THE NEW YEAR!! ENJOY IT AND MAKE 2007 THE YEAR THAT YOU WILL REMEMBER FOR LIFE! CHEERS!!!
p/s will post pictures of new year's eve when i get enough of rest....slept at 5 and woke up before 9!
