Of scary things and haunted class 72  

Posted by Daniel^_^Chin

Ciao people!

Haven't been updating lately, because assignments were messing with my blogging time. And as I'm typing now I still have lots of work to do! No pictures for updating, just go facebook :P.

Design is squeezing my mind like a lemon now, I doubt I still have a drop of creative juice in me. Any idea how to get more flowing?

It's as if assignments weren't the worst obstacles I need to overcome yet(of course not, but you get what I mean). God has more tests for me (Oh Lord is this final exam?). At the midst of all these there were also some unnecessary little troubles coming up. "Peskies" as I call them, tiny but lethal in the long run. First of all I spilled some water on my keyboard, definitely not the one I'm currently typing on now. Then something scary messed up with my mind. And what made it scary was that it came out of nowhere, and nothing becomes something that's nothing at all. Of course I laughed it of and declared it amusing. But as you all know the human web of thinking is kinda complicated, until the point that you can't even figure up what you are thinking (how ironic?). So nothing becomes something (sigh). But why can't this things (or people) leave me alone? I'm tired. And I don't know how to react anymore. How sour...

Anyway, thankfully my slow and calm self kinda shut things down. But there's a bad side to it, sometimes I do procrastinate on things, and I can't bring myself to finish things up quickly when I know they're not gonna be good (let's not talk about perfect) if they were to be done quickly.

But then again, nothing is perfect because no one is perfect. Life is imperfect, assignments can't be perfect, I can't be perfect, you can't be perfect too.

One more thing, last design class felt like highschool bootcamp, but we're not high school kids anymore. Classmates please be serious, because I don't wanna hear that kind of lecturing voice anymore.

Did I make myself clear? (Oh no you didn't just say that to us)

Ah, how I wish there're only me and my assignments for now.

SCARY THINGS AND SCARY PEOPLE PLEASE STAY AWAY FOR NOW

...but proceed if you're not scary...

Ciao!!!

We were "drugged" out of class  

Posted by Daniel^_^Chin

First of all, do I look like a drug addict?

Do I look like I'm going to be one?

Do I look like I 'ma smoke 'em weed and sniff 'em bongs? Or worst pop 'em pills in ma mouth?

Oh, do they sniff bongs??? Or they inject it??? See I told you!!!

And yes, drugs kill. I know, because I just got a taste of how 'deadly' drugs can be.

Yes, they kill your time, your money, your life...

Strictly speaking, I'm actually talking about a particular talk on drugs.

How cliche is this? We had one during orientation day (and countless at elementary school, high school, TV, and home) and we were told to attend one in the Hall of Shame two days ago. I saw a guy in policeman uniform the moment I entered the hall and I said, "This is going to be a talk on drugs!"

I couldn't be more right. To tell you the truth, no one in my class would take drugs unless they have some kind of disease (I think). 

And that's why I said drugs(talks on drugs) kill your time, your money and your life. You see, We were having a Design class at that time when we were asked to attend the talk. The lecturer asked us to return at 3.30 pm for the class, which was 1 hour later.

Apparently, it lasted longer than 1 hour. It wasted our time, our parents' money, and 2 hours of our life.

Did they know we had an important class? A major class that could make or break our whole semester? Obviously not. 

And the speakers were boring. So sorry to say that. 

I know I sound ungrateful but seriously they could've found a more suitable audience and time to do that. I wouldn't mind listening to that guy telling the story of how he got out of the deathly grasp of drug addiction if I had nothing to do. 

I know drugs are dangerous and stuff but this is like telling a monk not to dye his hair.

Policeman: Limkokwing is a very famous university well known for the good things. You don't want to spoil your university's name by involving in drugs.

Me (whispering): *rolls eyes* Dude, I don't think so, Limkokwing is already well known thanks to the bad stuff! 

Half of the class was already gone halfway through the talk.

Needless to say, we returned to class late. Luckily we didn't miss much, only the lecture.

I need to stop being sarcastic and cynical.

Guess I do need to go for rehabilitation.

By the way, the drugs were cute, they have panda, playboy bunny, four-leaved clover, heart shape......  

Anyone? No?

Ikay Okay!!!  

Posted by Daniel^_^Chin

I know it sounds so wrong to pronounce IKEA as IKAY(Eye-Kay), but that's what my lecturer taught me! And isn't it fun to pronounce the names of stores wrongly? (Carrefour anyone???)

Yesterday was the registration day for FABE students. So there I was taking the bus to school and realised that I should've gone earlier. I can't believe that after going through that painful process 3 times I didn't even drag my own self out of bed 6.00 am in the morning and be the first to enter the college. The Hall of Fame(ahem, Shame) was full of students and most importantly, the counter I was supposed to line up was hidden at the corner, with a serpentine line of students ending nowhere. I was squinting my eyes trying to figure out where should I line up as the line intertwines with another counter's.

How unsystematic! The lecturers could've done something knowing the way Malaysians lineup.

Nevertheless, the line was the least of the problem. The student registering(Chris), was at the counter for what felt like an hour before the poor fellow behind him could scream "finally!" Apparently our new year leader was new in using the crazy program for registering.

Did I mention that I was sitting on the row of seats with the label "For Parents Only" beside the line?

And it was during that time that I resorted to my last years' plan: register when the semester starts! (How smart ;D)

The problem is that there probably are a lot more 'smart' students like me too.

After checking out the timetable and waiting for Rozan to finish his stuff, we went to IKEA!!!

I needed a chair and some other stuff, so Farhan, Iwas, Saras, Rozan and Me headed to IKEA in Iwas' car.

Stuff that I bought--->

Toiletry bag that can be hung

Floor Mat

Laundry Basket

SNILLE Swivel Chair

And the total was around RM80++, less than RM100!

Still eyeing the Drafting Table though...

After the exhausting journey, I cleaned my room again and it's officially a complete room now.

Let's hope that I won't be moving again.

PS: The food in IKEA was okay I guess. But the view of a lady flashing was 'better'

I know what Daniel did this CNY...  

Posted by Daniel^_^Chin

It's still New Year, but everyone is busy working and the last day to celebrate and enjoy the final bits of CNY spirits would only be the coming Chap Goh Meh, or the last day of CNY. Oh, perhaps you would see me throwing oranges at the nearby river. *shrugs* (Who says guys can't throw oranges? Gender equivalence FTW!)

My silly edit: Only if girls actually pick those oranges. If not...hmm, I sense a great prank on the way! *evil laughs

Anyway, here's a recap of what I did during this festival.

I shall start from a few days before CNY. Like what everyone said, the joy of CNY is actually in the anticipation of it, not the day itself, although I do like receiving red packets, and not to mention those wicked food!

So it started off with spring cleaning, always the dirty work first :S. Cleaned my room and threw away my favourite little pillow since I was a child due to it's unsightly yellow stains(I don't know what those are). And my mum found some lizard eggs among my files! Gosh I've never seen lizard eggs before and they looked like......eggs. Guess I can't really keep my room clean since I'll be back to college.

And of course, I made cookies. Yes, you heard right, cookies! They are Green Pea Cookies(no idea what exactly they're called).

The mixture

Cutting the paste into little pieces

Into the oven!

Viola!

Packed into little auspicious jars

Then it was Chinese New Year Eve, an important day as it's the day of reunion with family and friends for those who work far from home. It's also a day when the peninsula might tilt a little as kampungs become highly populated and KL is deserted.

This year's Reunion Dinner came earlier than usual. We ate around 5 something because the food was all ready.


And of course, it's not CNY if you don't do something against the law (you know what I mean :D). And many guilty things I did, like not buckling up...

"On the first day of New Year my true love gave to me, a day full of fire-crackers!" Yes, woke up and heard fire-crackers and drumming opposite of my house. This is one of the days when I'm not entirely annoyed by those sounds. And like what we always did in previous years, we went to my Grandpa's house - the first visiting! And of course the yearly lion dance performance. But I gotta admit that the whole thing wasn't even qualified as a performance, more like an unaesthetic ritual with obnoxious drumming that passed off as the lion's grumbling.


Ready to grab the veggie?

Mummy Lioness: How many times I have to tell you not to eat dirty food on the floor!

Finally, a rather 'epic' photo :D

Nothing to do this day except eating and playing cards with my cousins. Thank God no one was playing Gameboy!

Went to Ipoh in the afternoon to visit my grandparents on my mum's side. And guess what we had for dinner? Pizza Hut and KFC. And this was what I saw on the receipt:

KFC Cockman? Did they use this all along? How funny :D

After the first two days, it's time to go visiting friends! Yik Chen had a steamboat party at his house and we got to met many old friends.





Can't seem to get fat after tucking in any food I could lay my hands on, and soft drinks too. You see, it was my plan to refill some fat before burning them. Can't believe I'm going back after all this to get skinnier again.

Time to open the red packets and count the money! $o$ The more you keep them (in a red packet), the more you'll get later!!!

Save me, save you, save everyone...save your money too...  

Posted by Daniel^_^Chin

Another song that I want to share. 


A really touching and meaningful one...

"We are very proud to present to you our video for "Save You".   What originally inspired this song was Pierre's brother's battle with cancer. About 3 years ago, Jay was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphatic cancer. After 2 years of extremely difficult chemotherapy treatments, he learned that the cancer was gone for now and that he was in remission. After being told he had a 50-50 chance to come out of this alive, he had won his battle. 

Because this happened to someone so close to us, we felt that, as a band, we had to do something to help.  We had to get involved and use our voice to make a difference in the fight against cancer. 

We wanted this video to tell his story and the ones of all cancer survivors. We want to show how strong people can be when facing adversity and hardship and how resilient the human mind and body can be. We wanted to relay a message of hope, survival and courage. 

With the assistance of iTunes, Lava/Atlantic, and Warner/Chappell Music, all proceeds from each downloaded sale will be distributed to cancer charities around the world, through the Simple Plan Foundation.   "Save You" - which is also found on our  self-titled third studio album "Simple Plan"  - can be purchased on iTunes here:U.S. | Canada 

We wish to send out a special thank you to everyone involved in the creation of this video, the production crew, the Leucan Association, and all the survivors that took time out of their busy schedules to be part of this very special message.  You are an inspiration to us all! 

We hope that with your assistance, you can help us beat cancer.

Thank you
Simple Plan"


(And why am I addicted to songs for cancer???)

I dedicate this song to everyone reading the blog, my friends and family

Never give up in anything you do!



Here's the lyrics------->

Save You - Simple Plan

Take a breath 

I pull myself together 

Just another step until I reach the door 

You’ll never know the way it 

tears me up inside to see you 

I wish that I could tell you something 

and take it all away 


Sometimes I wish I could save you 

And there’s so many things 

that I want you to know 

I won’t give up till it’s over 

If it takes you forever I want you to know 


When I hear your voice 

It's drowning into whispers 

You're just skin and bones 

There’s nothing left to take 

No matter what I do I 

can’t make you feel better 

If only I could find the answer 

To help me understand 


Sometimes I wish I could save you 

And there’s so many things 

that I want you to know 

I wont give up till it’s over 

If it takes you forever I want you to know 


That if you fall, stumble down 

I’ll pick you up off the ground 

If you lose faith in you 

I’ll give you strength to pull through 

Tell me you won't give up cause 

I’ll be waiting if you fall 

Oh you know I’ll be there for you 


(Ahahaha) 

If only I could find the answer 

To take it all away 


Sometimes I wish I could save you 

And there’s so many things 

that I want you to know 

I wont give up till it's over 

If it takes you forever I want you to know (Oooh) 

I wish I could save you 

I want you to know (Ohohh) 

I wish I could save you (ohh)


Well, it works for money too, if you want. Just tweak some lines......

2008 is a nut!  

Posted by Daniel^_^Chin

Well, I hope it's not too late to write about my 2008 as many people have already done that. This is gonna be "2008 in a nutshell"---an alternative title....or "2008 is nuts!"

2008 was sure a very very dramatic year for me. In fact I think it's the most dramatic year to date(not to mention those political news that got more and more juicy). Lot's and lot's of things happened, and I've learn from each and everyone of them.

At the end of last year, I was chatting with my best buddy Wai Hong as we couldn't sleep. We talked about how our lives have changed since we left our warm, cosy and sweet little innocent town and enter the evil and harsh world--the real world. I was surprised at how similar our encounters were. I guess everyone will go through those things at certain point. 

But I was a good moment as we got to learn from each other. I wish I wasn't wrong by saying that we have to protect ourselves when we are out alone. Of course there's nothing wrong with protecting yourselves, but sometimes I found out that you have to protect protect(something like Colgate double protection?), and no, the thing on your mind is not what I'm talking about. Sometimes I had to be selfish, and when I realised that, I got all emo o.O. Well at least it wasn't as bad as you think. When I'm back to my friends and family I'm back to normal. Sometimes I do wonder if I have multi-personality, nah that might freak everybody out.

Noticed a slight decline in studies, maybe it was too little stress. So here a little resolution for 2009, think about nothing but studies!!! But that's sad, because we(me and Wai Hong) promised each other to have girlfriends exactly a year later. We both know we have high expectations on the opposite sex and it's not gonna work. So let's see what happens :D. On the contrary, it was really dramatic to find out all your friends being sxxxs and change partners like...everyday?(sorry I was exaggerating, but you get the idea)

Well, and there was the realisation of the importance of money in this (TMTH) world. It started with living by myself, so every financial decision was on me. Living around KL is like burning you money, unlike my hometown where money hardly goes anywhere. Then there's the foreseen economy crisis(yes I knew it was coming! The world is......), which makes money more......hated. Oh and did I mention I worked as part timer? It was fun but exhausting :D

Some trivia :D

1. Favourite movie of 2008
The Dark Knight (Heath Ledger rocks!....in heaven <(nn)>  )

2. Favourite song
I'm yours (I know I know, but it's not over-rated, you just got bored hearing it)
*ps: love Rihanna too :P

3. Favourite book
The yellow Reader given by Ms Zatur(you know I'm being sarcastic)

It's the Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom (such inspiring...)

4. Favourite news
Someone got shoe-ed??? Lol

5. Most disturbing thing that happened to my body
Pimples...arrrghhh!!!!

6. Favourite person
Myself (no points for guessing it right :P)

7. Favourite TV show
For English - Pushing Daisies (Brian Fuller is a genius)
Heroes is sooooo disappointing

Cantonese - Moonlight Resonance 

8. Favourite food
Can't think of a particular one...what about pork from BBQ Plaza? (No offense to muslims)

9. Favourite drink
Blood...my arse! (If someone mentions the word "Twilight" again, I'll drink his/hers)
Mocha is still my favourite :P (I......e....ya......will always love you.......woo......oooo......eee....I.....)

In a nutshell 2008 has been a nice year for me, no bad things(I'm optimistic so "bad" means bad bad). I discovered more on myself and other people around me, learned more in my studies(always grateful for that), moved to a new house(I'm moving again =.=", once each sem!), met new friends(some really weird), worked in Parkson, had a good time during festivals like Halloween, enjoyed my life and learned to love myself more(it's not vain). Cried because I was shocked(really shocked), laughed because I was happy, got pissed sometimes but my EQ saved me(I'm getting a tad more irritating now). 

Finally, thank God, my family, my friends, my housemates, my lecturers, the strange strangers I met, my Appie, my books, my assignments for living through 2008 with me!!!

2009!!! Ya better be good to me!
