Returned

2011-11-05T07:18:00.000-07:00

Peeps. This place has been lacking of pictures and updates. Partly because I'm lazy, the other was because I've moved back to Glasgow to complete final year as a student. I have to say, I've missed his place dearly and the people whom I parted with a year ago. And now I'm back, rekindled my feelings for this place and here are some moments that I had to capture and remember most part of it.

Eason's Duo Concert 2011

2011-08-07T07:12:00.000-07:00

I can now officially say I've been to 2 major concerts and one mini one. It has been a fulfilling year despite everything that has happened. This concert was exquisite, I never thought I would say this. But I enjoyed it tons! I always loved when entertainers interacts well with their audiences and giving a good show. Anyway enjoy! Have a good week ahead.

Urbanscapes 2011

2011-07-17T10:17:00.000-07:00

Saturday spent well I'd say along with an old friend and bumped into another too. Besides the hot weather and water hunting others was great! Enjoy some pictures.. that I took and have a good day!

Fun, fun and joy.

Hectic life? Perhaps. I've bunch of pictures around that I'd like to sometimes have it put on this picture blog, kinda reminds me about great times that I've had. Or just a reminder I do have a life. Cause stress sometimes could be overwhelming, and we tend to forget the great things.

Here's my little niece. I'm the greatest cause I forgot how old is she. Probably 1 year old. Hm

This is my and my bestie. We had a little chitchatters before I left for Bangkok awhile ago.

Because I've missed out so much concerts in life. I'm just going for baby steps. David Choi is not only a singer, he's a great one. The one that gives music life and laughters. It was an awesome mini showcase of his music, and well interacted one I'd say.

Yes, terti kamasa. (:

Colourful city that never sleeps.

2011-05-29T05:57:00.000-07:00

Trying to turn my life into its upside, even if its downside I'll flip it over.

Left for Bangkok and Cambodia for a holiday. Which turns out to be quite enjoyable, despite the tons of sweat due to the weather. Here is few glimpse of the beautiful cities, rich in its culture and lifestyle.

Day 08 - A moment you felt most satisfied with your life.

I'm sure most people have many great moments in life. For me, rules are quite simple. Although it's weird I tend to do this to myself. I'm the type of person who gives 101% to myself and this means I stress myself so much sometimes it's unbearable. But the best moment captured in my life is, my pride in my hard work. As long as it turns out the way I wanted it, I just could be the happiest person on earth. Especially when the results turned out pretty well.

I think I live quite a lonely live, it has been a part of me that I have never been able to get rid of. It's just what defines who I am. Morbid at times, crazy at other times. I guess until I'm able to find the 'cup of happiness' in my life, that would be my greatest moment in life. I'll die a happy person.

30DC - 05

2011-01-10T07:51:00.000-08:00

Day 05 - The time you thought about ending your own life

Plenty, or a handful. I've always been a morbid person, in other words a sadist, or just a very negative person. Most times, the littlest of things brings me down. It's definitely unhealthy to digest all these unhappy thoughts. But I've found a remedy, which is 'friends'. Some may know, that sometimes I tend to be crazy or just love to joke about everything and anything. It's my way to release the tension between myself and I.

I'd like to think I'm insane. In a good way that is. Insanity portrayed by the different ways because I just love to see laughter's on others while knowing that makes me happy too. It's not complicated at all, or it is?

I believe sometimes 'some' of us have these thoughts. Some of us know how to handle these tough times, some of us just don't. It might have taken me time, to search for the right remedy, but I know I've found it. Of course at some days, I may be all gloomy but what's life without problems?

30DC - 03

2011-01-10T07:28:00.000-08:00

Day 03 - Your views on drugs and alcohol

Personally I despise both. Growing up knowing consequences of taking drugs, just eventually leads me to not taking any. But I do pop some pills sometimes, I promise its not all that bad. What I meant was prescribed drugs given by the Doc. If it helps to cure any pain or disease, I'll have it any day cause it just sucks being sick.

Hm, alcohol. Few years ago, I use to really hate the smell of alcohol. I still do, just not that much. Ever since I moved to Scotland, drinking seems to be the main dish of most social events I've ever attended. Scottish just loves their alcohol. I just dont love them all, more specifically I only drink alcohol that has 70% soft drinks and 30% alcohol itself. Neither I drink beer or even wine. I drink sometimes (even if i dislike it), just because its a perfect mix for good friends and good music.

Edit : Mistake for post day 04 for 03.

30DC - 04

2011-01-06T07:57:00.000-08:00

Day 04 - Your views on religion

"Religion or at least the tenets of any true religion should also be a way of life. So Buddhism is both. Buddhism has components of a religion but also outlines various beliefs that can be used to guide the individual in life. - Jules Willis"

This is why I stand headstrong to my beliefs. Although I may not seem to be the most enthusiast type, I still pray at times of trouble. I pray for various reasons, but at most times I do it because it provides me comfort. Silly or not, I do believe in miracles.

Then again, its better believe in something rather than nothing.

30DC - 02

2011-01-02T08:41:00.000-08:00

Day 02 - Where you'd be in 10 years.

10 years seems like an instant. I couldn't have imagine being where I am now. Although it felt like an instant, all memories remained scarred in my heart. Both happy and sad ones.

10 years from now. I'd like to be a person that loves her life.

Jingle and mingle.

2011-01-01T10:04:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I dedicate this belated post to all those great people around me. I hope you and all of you especially will have a great one in MMXI.

P/S : This is to Tristyn. Thanks for the lovely post, I truly missed the great times where we hung out and gathered for great events. Definitely miss you peeps! Have an awesome party over there and save some for me.

30DC - 01

2011-01-01T09:13:00.000-08:00

Day 01 - Your current relationship, if single discuss how single life is.

I'm single as it is now, always have been. Surprise, or no surprise. I might have taken excuses like "I'd like to concentrate on straightening my life first, in which this means my studies and my career." Which has been true, no lies attached. I like the life for now, being free to move everywhere and anywhere. Being single, I'm good at it. Being attached, pretty sure I'm not ready for it yet. Just because I've heard not one but many heartbreaks stories. Some moved on, some didn't and some struggled in depression. Enough said, I have least guts for a heartbreak. That too, someone did tell me about the when you are in love, the world is just different. Even if it hurts, its worth the pain.

Plus it's not a one time thing that I confuse people all the time. Just because reality sucks, whether you like it or not. People just tend to judge others because of their looks. But I can't blame anyone for doing that, just cause I do that too sometimes. As long as I'm happy as who I am, I believe someone will see me truly for who I am in the inside. I'd like to always believe in the quote "don't judge the book by its cover."

30 Days Challenge.

2011-01-01T09:05:00.001-08:00

Oh gosh, fingers crossed that I'll finish this challenge in 30 days! I'll try but no promises okay.

Just if.

2010-12-06T04:59:00.000-08:00

Just if life was almost as perfect as a fairytale, I would have stayed in it and never want to return because I know I've picked the one with a happy ending.

Just if I could control my emotions, I would delete the emotion called 'sad or unhappy' and emptied the recycle bin.

Just if I could open myself to trust others, I wouldn't have kept so many secrets.

Just if I decided to pack my bags and run away I would go to a place where I could start anew.

Just if I get to make 3 wishes, it would definitely contain lots and lots of happiness and joy.

Just if the world is not made out of many different personalities of human species, I'm pretty sure we could all live in peace as we agree on the same things.

Just if I get to pack my bags now, I would definitely get to the place where waves becomes the sound of harmony.

Just if I closed my eyes and woke up everyday, I want 'everyday' to surprise me with the simplest things in life that makes one glad they are alive.

Just if I had a normal childhood, I'll learn to appreciate people more and more everyday.

Just if all those above could come true, it would be a extraordinary journey.

Nites.

Missing out.

2010-11-27T01:28:00.000-08:00

Well, it has been a really long time. The last update was about my arrival back in home. I've progressed further than that of course. It has been two coming to two months since I've started working. Whereby I quote from a friend 'I'm married to work'. Unfortunately, I am aggressively trying to go against it and you can see me doing it right now. Okay, okay, I'll try harder. I'm bombed with work actually, its so interesting like its a surgery routine (I'm watching LOTS of Grey's Anatomy lately). Lets see the list of work I've done.

2 Bungalows, 1 School Sports Hall, Part-time Admin, and 3D's. Trust me its only two months and that's hell lots of work. Plus, another new project. So I'm going to kick architecture's ass. And don't ask why I've been really absent from lots of people, when stress kicks in I disappear just like Copperfield. So I'll try to update much more.

Patience, patience and patience. It's all you will need.

2010-09-26T10:45:00.000-07:00

Not so long ago, I talked about how great life was to be back. Today I have other thoughts about it. I realized the whole time of my absence I had finally moved on, being apart from my family. I have definitely learned a great deal of things about being independent about my life and my feelings. Returning here just within a month, I realize I'm stuck to the same routine that I had left behind. I have constantly reminded myself about things that I should learn to let go and take in.

This I have just added to my new resolution. Patience is virtue. And learning to control my temper would be a great start even tho it was suppose to tone down two years ago. But guess who decided to ignite it?

Absentee

2010-09-19T21:59:00.000-07:00

Hello internets!

Two years was the amount of time I've been apart from home. I've been enjoying the company since I've been back and definitely overloaded with smiles. Returning home wasn't a coincidence, it was to move out from my comfort zones and perhaps a change is good. Leaving the little rainy city, I certainly have missed it much.

Decisions, decisions. One of it was taking a year out in the practice and hoping I would grow some of my confidence back. Architecture can really make you lifeless, but that isn't half as bad as losing confidence in designing. And most of all, spending more time with my family and friends.

Well it has been a couple weeks since I've been home, it is certainly great. I finally feel happy just knowing I've left the dramatic life I once have had. This altogether is going to be a different ride which hopefully I'll share each snapshot moments.

2010-08-28T08:02:00.001-07:00

Two years apart.

2010-08-04T17:43:00.000-07:00

Me old buddy, its been awhile since I've seen her. The last was at the KLIA airport when I set to depart to UK. And now here we are after two years, meeting up and going on a trip together in Scotland. It was great fun to meet someone that you've missed a long time. Anyhoo. Soon another reunion!

It's official, I have graduated with Honors.

2010-07-14T10:18:00.000-07:00

Glad to share my joy with everyone. This year, I think I've grown the most. Through the stress and also ups and downs in life, but I'm glad out there I have this great bunch of friends. No matter how their background and characteristic are ever different, I still had a great year. My mom and little brother attended my graduation this year and it was a great ending for my academia in Honors. Till then, these are moments that have been captured.

Last but not least, its not only about the certificate or qualifications, it's always about the experience and lessons learned throughout that journey. Anyhoo, I'm pretty sure this is not the last of my education, I'm going to keep going!

2010-06-28T17:24:00.000-07:00

These pictures only define a part of what London is, but if you have a chance its definitely a place worth a visit. Either the people or the culture, its just particularly interesting to just stare at the busy streets. But because its summer sales, there is just too many of them. Bring some kachings, this would be the best time to enjoy London further.

2010-06-27T17:05:00.000-07:00

Some pictures of London in black and white. It was my first trip, surprise surprise. I lived in the UK for almost two years and never had a reason to go down to London. So have a sneek peek through my lens, and what I see. It's going to be boring so you can scroll it real fast. Enjoy!

Next post, be prepared to be coloured.

GSA Degree Show

2010-06-26T10:23:00.000-07:00

On the random day too, I visited the Glasgow School of Art Degree Exhibition. There is a whole bunch of pictures these are little bits of it. Strathclyde ones will come up soon.

Random Thursday.

2010-06-17T15:27:00.000-07:00

So it's another random day. Since it was this random day, I decided to pop by CCA (Centre of Contemporary Arts) along with Tris and bumped into the GSA Fine Arts Exhibition. It was awsome, cause it was a random tour and both of us didn't really understand the art to appreciate it. Anyways, today Glasgow was sunny and made it just a great day to visit our local kopitiam, Starbucks. Chilled and hung out until Janice joined us too. It was really random so we watched people passed by the busy shopping street. One thing great about just chilling out and watching is relaxing and enjoying. On the way back, randomly bumped into this car, whatisthename? No idea. So this was a random post about this random day.

P/S : I blogged. This time with pictures and more words. Teehee.

Reunion!

2010-06-08T17:33:00.000-07:00

It has been almost a year I've moved out from the student accommodation I used to live in. This little room that I lived in, I used to stay in there for days just rushing assignments. God knows. Haha, anyways we are all graduating. Congrats!

a little story about summer.

2010-05-28T06:56:00.000-07:00

Its all about sun and summer. To celebrate the end of year 4, this was part of the plan. A bbq at the beach. So here is part of the story that we enjoyed the sun and the friends that came along. Ahh, joyous days.

Celebration and Sunshine

2010-05-22T15:30:00.001-07:00

At Glasgow Green, chilling out under the bright sunny sun. Starbucks ran out of ice, bummer! and PS infamous bread + polish ham + mayo + ginger.

Ate and drank.

2010-05-21T00:26:00.000-07:00

Peanut mochi was better than the red bean. Just cause it was so sweet and the white dough was too.

Packets of coffee, that is just half of what I've drank. 20 packets I think.

It takes control of itself!

2010-05-12T19:55:00.000-07:00

Well it explains everything and all about my hair. Time for haircut perhaps? Look once, look twice. I look like a perfectly grown pineapple. Teehee.

Infamous Udon.

2010-05-12T10:02:00.001-07:00

It's the official day.

2010-05-09T03:20:00.001-07:00

It's Happy Mother's Day! I've dedicate a post before. So this I'll keep it short and simple.

Love you loads mom.

At Nando's!

2010-05-08T15:38:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, we celebrated Boris Bday. Well almost everyone came and waited in line for about 30-40 mins perhaps? Just cause they don't do reservations, we had to wait in until they had the whole row cleared out just for us. Well 'us' is not a small amount its about 15-20 of us I fink. Anyways here's Nando's in Glasgow, its probably the first one in the city centre. And see if you notice anything in the picture.

And you'll probably wondering wheres the picture of the birthday boy and the gang. I've been a lazy photographer lately, hmm. I have my reasons.

P/S : That is outside, and because of the windy weather there is no one out there! Btw if this was in Malaysia I know it will be crowded just like in mamak stalls.

Its been awhile I've cooked a proper meal. The last time I had steak was, last year. I'm alright with Western food, but I'd still prefer Asian cuisine anytime.

2010-04-25T10:34:00.001-07:00

There is one point where everyone needs somebody. And another point you meet someone great, someone you can talk to, someone that accompanies you at 1am at a local mamak store, someone you can share you popcorn with during movies, someone you can just talk about anything. Best friends are hard to find, but I found four great friends. Who ever says only in a relationship there are ups and downs, in friendships there are too but we kinda got through it along the way.

Anyways, Happy Birthday again! I miss you tons, hope to see you again soon. And most definitely I hope you'll find joy everyday and stop working so hard, take your time and breathe.

Hugs and kisses, love fels.

P/S : Pic taken in Queens Park during BBQ.

Red light and the dullness.

2010-04-20T21:21:00.001-07:00

Yup stuck in a traffic jam. Well just cause I'm always doing assignments rather than having a mood to take real pictures. This one was taken the recent winter. Red and green, just lacking of orange.

Second one is the taken a year back in Pavilion, Malaysia. When I just got my new baby D. So it turned out alright I guess.

Little drops of fruits.

Birthday post!

2010-04-06T18:25:00.000-07:00

Well, this picture was taken over a year ago couple days before I left for Glasgow. At most times, when things are at its rock bottom condition, you are still there. I am grateful that you have tried to change for the better and always being there when everyone needed you. Have a good one, Happy Birthday U.Tim, cause you deserve it!

P/S (Captions for photos) : Buddha jumps of joy, Jesus too jumps for joy! Haha.

It's awsome cause the clown is scary. Definitely looks like the one that I once saw when I was little, it was the dark starring down at me from upstairs. Anyway LeeHyori is back with a new album, kaboink!

Edit : Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter in AiTW.

Johnny and Burton. Duo's that are mad as always. That is what makes them exquisite.

Credits to both pictures.

Messy.

2010-03-28T20:45:00.000-07:00

People, they are messy. Not their appearance, but their characters. So quit trying to be a smartass wanting to understand everyone. Simply because, everybody is different. Life is too bloody short, so deal with yourself first.

Heh, pissed.

P/S : I might have posted this a long time ago. I still love the night views.

Falling off.

2010-03-26T10:33:00.000-07:00

Sometimes we stand tall and proud, for who we are and things we achieve. That is what makes life worth living. Those moments are crucial to determine the ability we have and the ability to accomplish those goals we've set for ourselves.

But when we fall hard, we break. We break into pieces that overtime although mended, still no longer as perfect as before. So we strive to make and mend ourselves into not the same perfect form, but into different person much better than before.

Unfortunately, sometimes things takes the wrong course, and there is nothing to do to change the reality of it.

Birthday post, again.

2010-03-21T11:34:00.000-07:00

Yup this time there is two of them. Happy Birthday Janice and Alistair! Hope you guys had fun yesterday. Because my days were so hectic I forgotten to recharge my camera batteries. REMINDER : I do not have any pictures for yesterday's party.

Best wishes peeps!

Well this time around, we all have birthdays. But unfortunately most of us were busy as bees. Anyway Happy Birthday again Green guy aka Hann! Hope everything will turn out as colourful as the party theme!

I miss you so much.

2010-03-11T12:58:00.001-08:00

You make me forget about my troubles, and just have a good day everyday.
You provide me space and time to do whatever I desire.
You provide me, with endless space to enjoy myself.
You give me endless joy, because when I have you I feel relaxed.
You do not nag, neither you complain, because that's the way you are.
You are the only thing I crave for, because I know you are the best.
You give me time to rediscover the true meaning of fun.
You give me time off, to look for myself again.
When I am down, I know you'll be the best cure.

So who are you?

Holidays. I really need you, I'll hope you'll walk and arrive here sooner than expected. Sigh.

The one behind the designs.

Well yup, I'm the person behind the t-shirt design (F/M) for the previous years Taylor's C t-shirt. However, the one printed out was the simplified version of it. Well enjoy!

Happy 24th Birthday!

Honestly, I do not remember when was the last time I have celebrated your birthday with you along with the family members. But I know even after this birthday, I know I will somehow in the future will have the chance to celebrate it with you again.

You've always been the one who is the furthest away most of the time, and we don't get to see you around much. But the only thing I know is that you had some rough times that we might not be able to comprehend. And I remember most is the time we fought for the computer and I had a crazy temper which I now should say sorry for. Well those were the days huh. Anyways I hope you'll have a good birthday, maybe better than last year I hope?

All love, hugs and kisses from feli.

Ask me anything, if you're bored that is.

New changes

2010-02-27T03:58:00.000-08:00

Well I have just simplified the layout of the blog. Just because of my hectic student schedule, I am unable to blog as much anymore.

Future plans for the blog will be decided later. You'll be seeing more pictures and less words.

As for anyone who wants the pictures you can just grab it from the blog, I won't be distributing any pictures from now on. I have stacks of photo folder everywhere and I can't be bothered to sort it out.

Happy Chinese New Year

2010-02-27T03:29:00.000-08:00

feeling accomplished.

2009-12-07T07:06:00.000-08:00

Do you the feeling of accomplishment? I always strive to achieve it, its my only an antidote to surviving this life. I made it through Studio, with just doing it, giving it a last chance, for my own self. It all worth the sleepless night. I award myself just by having a good night sleep after that.

So a day after that, I went to Germany to a little town called Eichstaett. It's a small town, kind of relaxing, but intense work needed to be done over there. So some of us, ran under rain numerous times. It was cold, compared to Glasgow, Glasgow is still warm. So week intense waking up early, and few nights over the bar. No I did not drink until I was forced to. Alcohol taste bad. REALLY. So after Eichstaett, we managed to get to Munich. That 2 days, was kinda of like a holiday. Walking around, watching Germans drink 1liter beer. Its mad intense, but I had a great time with a bunch of crazy friends. I learn a little about German history, makes me love history a little compared to when I was younger. Well coming back here, I have tons to of work to still accomplish. So wait up.

Pictures will be up in a week I hope.. There's alot of sorting out to do, so bear with me a little.

whats the next word after tired, zzz.

2009-11-26T09:54:00.000-08:00

This week could just be the worst week since the beginning of uni. Although today suppose to be a celebration, but I don't feel I've done enough to celebrate anything. Emotions running high and low, workloads and assignments that continuously stacks up and manage to stay stacked high. I feel irritated, angry, sad, unhappy, depressed all the antidotes to sickness.

I'm running from gear 1, immediately to gear 4. Which something I don't normally do. So what has gotten into me? I can't figure out myself either would you.

I now, miss most not just my family but place back in Birkbeck Court, student accommodation. I had this four walls around that covers me not only from human contact but also the outside world. Although often enough I see crazy drunktards singing and playing with the fire extinguisher or even couple of guys who wanted to try out how cold is cold during winter naked.

Little things in life, is what makes you remember. I wish for my fourwalls to return.

Hiatus, again.

2009-11-18T05:34:00.000-08:00

Sorry, busy busy with assignments. I'll have to take a break from blogging. I"ll be back with more post, for you the readers out there. *Waves* So till then, I'll be mumbling to myself how wonderful life would be if my parents were really rich, and I would make a fool of myself just by spending money.

Then again, knowledge is key to life. You know more, you probably have more benefits. You know less, you would just talk lesser I suppose.

So take a break, have kitkat. I'll be back with one more post after this, so do wait.

somethings are random, like this

2009-11-16T12:32:00.001-08:00

What about creative bar codes?Owh, a 550$++ USB. Its 128GB! How awsome, and its speed is superb too.

it's your day!

2009-11-11T13:53:00.000-08:00

To dearest Amily, Happy 22nd Birthday! Best wishes from me, I hope all your wishes will come do come true. Thanks for being a great friend, and yes we adore you as much as we adore your cooking.

Love always, Zhu.

we gathered, and ate.

2009-10-26T05:37:00.000-07:00

Recently, we had a dinner organized by the Singapore Student Society of Strathclyde.
I've been there few times, but my cravings for korean food are neverending. I love ramen, kimchi, bimbimbap and mostly asian food. I get bored with Western food easily anyways. So, back to the topic, we gathered together and had few chats and move on to drinking session back in the HAP crib.

I guess everyone had a full meal and a good night out. Here some pictures! And it's good to go out once awhile, at least I met some new friends.

Here are there are some new friends we met.
This side is the other table, familiar faces and new faces aswell. There is Jeffrey and his wife. And the one with the peace sign, yes she manage to stand out with it.
Heres alex, flora, tristyn, and boris.
Here we are scrambling around talking among each other, I think we've occupied the entire one floor which is only around 5-6m by 7-8m. Enough to fit 19 people. Woot!
No she's no Singaporean but whatever! We are culturally diverse society, and shes from China.
Here are the old gang with the new couple. Look they are all full with delicious korean food.

Like the usual, sneaky peaky. I was really bored and tired at the same time. But it's always good to joke around to release some stress that has been building up lately.

outdated? no its quite recent.

2009-10-24T08:51:00.001-07:00

Well I haven't had a proper blog post since I got disconnected. So now I'm back to share some pics. I know its been almost 2 months but some outings weren't recorded. So I'll just post whatever I have now. So this post will be about the mooncake festival + house warming. For those who doesn't know whats a mooncake festival, don't worry I don't really understand it myself. But its one of those festival chinese celebrate, and you'll be able to see a full moon on that day. And the mooncake is one of the main dishes to have. But since we're not back in Malaysia, we don't have a variety of mooncakes.

Here it goes.

We had some friends from our studio. They are on exchange from France and Czech Republic.
Without booze there is no party. But yea, the guys and girls had fun. I rather stick to soft drinks..
The guys.
A little mahjong, its chinese festival anyway.Damerce + Nic + Boris, trying to finish the last bit of the food.
The girls.
Just a group picture.
Amily + Peiyee.
Damerce + Angel.

This sums up the party pictures for this event. We'll it was a good outing to get to know the people around us. Always.

Next up. We went clubbing after weeks of so tiring submissions. We need some rest, after working so hard. We had panda eyes, but who cares. It's time to partey!

There are pictures uploaded on facebook. So If you know where it is, go ahead and indulge yourself with pictures of people and faces. Anyhoo, the partey was just a stress reliever. Ahh. Work time.

god heard my prayers.

2009-10-21T09:26:00.001-07:00

Well first off, god did hear my prayers. I got my internet immediately that night. But god, you also took away someone whom I knew dearly of. I know, you have your duties to fulfill. People die in the end of the day, you don't get to live forever.

Today, I am not at my best mood. Things around me, I feel everything is annoying and irritating. But whatever it is, I don't care what people think about me. My heart is not at the right place, neither I know whether if its anywhere. I'll just stick to doing what I do best.

the thing is.

2009-10-20T07:45:00.001-07:00

I want to update my blog. But I can't seem to find the bloody time to do it, with the lacking of internet connection. I have officially been disconnected from my virtual world for quite sometime. I have been rushing for work since school started really. I have not read so much books in my life neither did I had any interest in books before. I guess its a good start for me, and for my dissertation paper.

Boohoo, I need a life. I have alot of things in mind lately. Not only work, my emotions are unstable which needs to be settled in order for me to think right. Well this could work as one new update of my life.

I am currently just phasing myself to work well with the hectic timetable I have this semester. Hopefully sem 2 things will slow down more and more. Thats what I hope for. I wonder if god have internet up there, please get my msg.

Alright this will do for a new post. I am tired of babbling now. WEEEEEEEE.

everyone seems to know what they need.

2009-09-25T07:45:00.000-07:00

We all often figure out the things we want and need.

I want this; often portrays the need of having it and the feeling of statisfication obtaining it.
I need this; a must have for oneself, or to accomodate the habit of already having it.

So what do you want and need? It seems so subtle, thinking that its just something to have or to get. What if having it makes so much different, either be makeup kits for the ladies, or good hair products of the gentlements it could change a persons life with just bits and pieces of things pulled together. Sometimes we are greedy too, we want more than what we own.

I have things I want and need to. But sometimes there are only that few options you could have, and those option is not going to help you in anyway. Because those options only could give that much of extended time for you to get another option. I am hopping on options after options, like a dog chasing its own tail. When will it end, when will I ever stop chasing, when will I have my own choices. I am controlled and tied down by the reality now. So are you?

Absent

2009-09-22T06:18:00.000-07:00

That probably explains why I'm on hiatus. I've been kinda stuck home without internet, and its killing me. I've been sending out more resume's lately. Rich people. You, need to see a potential candidate here :( Okay see ya, I'll post sometime soon.

So this is final move.

2009-09-11T09:19:00.000-07:00

The MEOW couple is back. So I've officially been kicked out to move to a new place. The HAP family, I am the new family member for now. So while doing so, I won't been having any internet connection for awhile till VirginMedia activates the freaking internet in that house. I'm AGAIN disconnected from the virtual world.

If anyone is looking for me, especially my family member. Do sms me first.

all i need it this, maybe you too.

2009-09-09T19:45:00.001-07:00

We are all human beings, and we need each other to keep moving forward. Words maybe something ordinary but when it forms into a sentence, it can be something extraordinary.

Sometimes it is alright to tell those who surrounds you, tell them words that encourages them. It might be just words, but it means alot to them. Trust me, they will remember it.

we stay on the safest place we can find cover

2009-09-05T09:23:00.000-07:00

I've been up and down.

2009-09-04T11:25:00.000-07:00

Just like the heartbeat meter, I'm unstable. However in medical terms, when it beeps up and down, its pretty much normal. Who doesn't go through shit everyday? Anyway I have been here, there and everywhere. I have not done much lately besides going out randomly, and sitting at home randomly too.

Apparently, I have a week till I can see clearly the path I'm walking on. It's stressful, but I rather ignore hope. Hope sometimes comes back to you with full of disappointment. Anyway, I am rather out of ideas lately, I'm not sure why. Is it because people say, you grow old you have more stress and responsibility weighing on your shoulders. Other stuff like your youth and your emotions don't take in account anymore.

Anyways, new header. BOINK. can lah.

hows this for starters.

2009-08-17T14:17:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to try out vector art, of myself. Which somehow still lacks alot of shades which will take sometime. I am kind tired but I'll just show sneak peeks of the art of mwa. I know, I know it doesn't look like me. But at least I tried.

predictions of the end of the world.

2009-08-17T01:32:00.000-07:00

Have you heard of Nostradamus? I did, and it boggled my mind. He was a 15th Century Alchemist which is somehow related to physics and astrology. He wrote a book called 'Les Propheties' - 'The Prophecies' which contains predictions of the future. After watching the documentary called 'Nostradamus 2012', I do believe that his predictions might just be true. You have your own choices to believe it or not. He's predictions of the Year 2012 could be the end of the world and also could be the beginning of a new world. Researches studied the predictions, it was not only shown in one historical culture but many different culture in the past showed the same signs.

Nostradamus 2012 - It is about how researchers decipher his predictions. And how the images he drew are somewhat warnings given to us. About the galactic alignment of the earth, the milky way, and the sun forming into a straight line could just be a huge disaster awaiting to erupt. There were other predictions that he mention which happened, part of it was the 9/11.

One of his Quatrain contained clues about 9/11 is this :

"Century 6, Quatrain 97

Two steel birds will fall from the sky on the Metropolis. The sky will burn at forty-five degrees latitude. Fire approaches the great new city (New York City lies between 40-45 degrees)

Immediately a huge, scattered flame leaps up. Within months, rivers will flow with blood. The undead will roam earth for little time.

"In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb,
The third big war will begin when the big city is burning"

There were multiple versions of this, but this one is directly translated from his French prediction.

"The sky will burn at forty-five degrees latitude,
Fire approaches the great new city
Immediately a huge, scattered flame leaps up
When they want to have verification from the Normans."

- Nostradamus 1654

Doesn't this sound all that familiar to you? Two brothers torn apart, the two towers. The third big war could only mean World War III, which somehow has already slowly progress since then.

It is just creepy how some of his predictions collides with the things we are going through now. The global warming, the natural disaster, the plague, all these he predicted in his writings. And he predicted the time when the end of the world would be when there is no longer sun. With no sun you could imagine, the things that could happen. Plants, humans, animals might just die cause there is no longer the circle of life happening.

But it could be something else, researches did say. We don't know whats going to happen in 2012, it could be something good, a revelation for a new world. We can never know whats ahead of us after all we are all humans not God. Oh hey good and bad news, 2012 is just 3 years ahead. So do enjoy whatever your doing now, you'll never know. We might just be able to change his predictions.

If you wanna know more, watch the documentary. Its exciting to learn about something new anyways.

Blow, Squeeze and Drums please.

2009-08-15T05:26:00.000-07:00

So early morning, with high hopes of having a sunny morning. It was gloomy, drizzling and eventually it rained. But anyways we delayed an hour plus before going off to the event, which we bought ticket for it. It was the World Band Pipe Championship 2009 held in Glasgow Green. We marched along with the other bands. It was bag pipe heaven, usually I would only hear one or two buskers along Buchanan Street. But this time, it was everywhere. Whats more, men wearing kilts everywhere, young and old. You don't see this anywhere but here. Hehe.

A little animation of them marching into the field.

If you do want to have a view of whats like over here. Tune to BBC Scotland. They have live feeds right now, I'm not quite sure if its available for other country outside UK. You can have a try tho.

I enjoyed the performance, although I don't know the difference between one bag pipe tune to another. Those guys were really serious in their performance, I mean its a World Championship anyway. Once a while its great to see a cultural event, I could feel everyone was enjoying it despite even it was raining and muddy. Well thanks guys, for the hard work.

We decided to leave after that, we were all soaking wet inside our shoes and clothes. We live in Glasgow, but we don't have umbrella. It rains almost everyday here. Anyways hope you have a nice weekend. Oh don't forget to follow me on my Twitter . Cheers

same old, same old.

2009-08-14T15:17:00.000-07:00

Few days ago, 6 of us went off to watch G.I. Joe. Along with us was Peiyee's friend, Sher & Ryan. They came over to Scotland for holiday. So we and they tagged along along with our 2 for 1 coupons. We rocked the cinema G.I Joe style, and we some of us loved the movie. I think the movie was 8/10. It had better story line rather than Transformers 2.

One of my fav character, Snake Eyes. Just cause he doesn't talk, it makes him cool.

So moving on, after stuck being at home like a retard. We went out to the Lemongrass, Glasgow. Authentic Thai Food grabbed our last dinner with Sher & Ryan before they went back to London and continue their journey to Devon. So basically, the events happening are outings of a movie and dinner. We never fail to EAT.

we dont talk, doesn't mean were arent friends.

2009-08-09T18:14:00.000-07:00

I often looked at my list of friends, whether they were on facebook/msn/phonelist. I just cant get the drift of talking to them. I personally think that life should revolve outside the computer. Just maybe making couple of calls and meeting up. Maybe even talking through skype video at least seems realistic than the idea of having long chats online. I have a list of people online, but all I do is stare at them, not knowing who to pick to talk to.

Sometimes, out of the blue those random people on the list just goes "Hey, whats up?" Then the next thing up is, the favor they need from you. It's bloody annoying. What happen to the classic hello and asking about things happening, or asking to meet. I get the idea that if two people are from different parts of the country, the only thing to hold on to their lives for communication is via internet/sms.

Don't be offended, but I'm just saying because of experiences I've had. Back to the topic, I don't talk to all of them, I just talk to 'some' of them because I know them very well in real life. I find the addiction to internet is too powerful, I've been always surfing around the net for hours. The basic addiction is gaming, and yes I was there once. I quit and found internet pretty boring after that. But in order to avoid spending cash by going out, and spending luxurious meals, or even shopping. The only option I resolved to is sitting here doing this, right here right now.

Okay enough of mumblings, and ramblings. I'm just bored and come talk to me. Cheers.

boast a little.

2009-08-07T17:39:00.000-07:00

Look what I found. Urban Outfitters is using my picture as Glasgow's attraction! The Prince Square picture I took awhile ago when I first arrived over here. Haha so cool here is a repost of the picture.

Do visit my Flickr gallery sometime.

hiatus for a little bit.

2009-08-05T07:01:00.000-07:00

Sigh, I'm wee bit tired from staying at home and doing nothing. When can I start working MR/MS Employees. All right a little update. I've been injured on my right ankle because of excessive jumping rope exercise. Then I have something growing on my right neck. BAH go away you illness magicgy. Okay I'll promise to look for a job and I'm going to get a job soon! My sun will rise again! Mwahaha.

3 bday boy/man

2009-07-28T17:58:00.000-07:00

So coincidentally three lee family, their bday is on 27/28 July. So Happy Birthday! All my best wishes to you.. Stay healthy and happy.

we spun like mad

2009-07-26T21:46:00.000-07:00

This time we decided to join the crowd during the weekends. There was the 'River Festival' nearby the SECC, so we headed on the free shuttle bus. We were quite late for the festival, so we headed immediately to the 'fun' games. First stop, we watch this boy screamed "AHH", just adorkable.

Then kids went "WEEE" and spun even more.

They had the Navy Ship on display with men in tailor suits. They even had Captain on board.

The Armadillo building and the bridge linking on side to another.

They had jetski competition, but then again we were late. We kinda missed out on the events. Even oysters! Bah.

This was our first ride, and the last one for me. Lol. We ate some food before we went on this spinning ride so to avoid the vomiting action. But they wanted more. So they went on this. I should just stick to taking photos.

The army was promoting and attracting youngsters to join them by showing stunts of men in army suits falling from the sky. Nope, the were not falling but gliding down on a rope. Kids love this kind of things, the next thing they'll be putting in their ambition would be Soldier.

We entered a duck for the duck race. With two motives, to donate to the charity and to win a CAR! But unfortunately we didn't win a car but we did do a good deed.

The last stop, dinner! Thai food, and no its not as nice as the real thing. But its alright, just not spicy enough for me. Anyways I'm tired now, I'll talk lesser. Let the pictures talk.

dinner time again!

2009-07-23T06:31:00.000-07:00

So out of the random boring days, we tend to splurge ourselves with the luxury of restaurants, movies, and drinks. So we tried some Spanish food, in Glasgow. Yeh, it wasn't all that bad, with 50% of total we grabbed a Chefs Recommendation. I've been to this Restaurant in Cardiff with Su-Ann. I couldn't remember how the food tasted, just because I just arrived and I was tired after the trip. But I had the food pictures taken, so after comparing it. Its the same, durh! The restaurant name is called 'La Tasca.' Upon arrival, we ordered drinks and while waiting for Amily to join us, we order the food first. Lets rate the food 7.5/10, that rating included the nice waitress.

Alright after dinner we headed to the cinema, and the surprise caught us. The queue was a block long. Sighs, kids are having their summer holiday and they are spending on movies. Well I was once like them. Anyways, back to the queue, which was surprisingly quick, not like the ones in Malaysia. The longest queue I've been in Malaysia was Harry Potter in KLCC. Jeez, it was so long it reached the circular atrium and even around the circular atrium and it was 8am. I've learned my lesson, let the movie geeks go first, then theres you.

Okay after getting our tickets.. we went to bar on first floor, sat a little and after that we headed into the movies and excited. Hah, the excitement sure caught up. Lets say the movie was traumatizing. As quoted, 'spinning and screaming meat', I swear the entire movie just made everyone gag in their own laughter's. It was disturbing. But overall everyone had something to talk about. So we rushed back cause hell I was having a stomach ache.

Summary : Never eat fine dinning when your heading off to watch Brüno. Its better off with popcorn and drinks.

living life as a fantasy.

2009-07-20T19:16:00.000-07:00

You probably wished you were living the life you wanted.
The luxurious content surrounds you, and the happiness you always wanted to hold on to.
People dream most of the time, sometimes dreaming keeps your soul alive.
With knowing it's never wrong to dream, no one gets hurts at least.
Illusions and imaginations are what we live for.
The hopes of knowing you'll going to get what you dream as long as we keep pursuing it.

Life is too short not to dream, we enjoy most of it. With the people around us, people who love us, people who understands us, the people we share our lives with and most of all, the memories are the gold mines of our lives.

carboot sales!

2009-07-18T19:04:00.000-07:00

So one random day, out of boredom. We decided to visit the car boot sales. We've talked about it ages ago, so finally we visited the market. Sorry but there isn't alot of pictures.. very lazy to take pictures cause we bought fruits. It was uber cheap!

We were there late morning. So most of the fresh foods are gone by the time we arrived. So this is the only fish van selling fresh fish.

It was a soothing walkabout in the carboot. Alot of interesting stuff to look at. I bought some books such as Angels & Demon, Da Vinci Code, and one of Torey Hayden's book for only 3.50£ And the rest of the stuff would be fruits and vegetable. There were alot of stuff, just it was really gloomy and rained wee bit.

another Malaysian flybacks.

2009-07-10T14:29:00.000-07:00

I met JYew not long ago. Anyway he's somewhere mid air flying back to Malaysia today. So the indecisive us, ended up in TGI Friday. And with all high hopes, it was major letdown excluding the Hot Wings. Anyways after crappy dinner we went for Transformer 2. I bugged Weychii to go along because the tickets were 2 for 1 price. So here goes.

Here you go, this is JYew.

Weychii and the bottle of ketchup promoting Summer. Hot Hot Hot.

They look so alike Amily and Teacher's Pet.

Amily trying to pick out Weychii's huge pimple. Using fork. Heheh.

My meal. Ribeye Steak with peppercorn sauce.

Amily's Jack Daniel Steak.

JYew Pork Ribs.
Weychii Jack Daniel's Salmon.
Lastly, group shot. Thank you Miss Waitress. And lastly, my new shoe! Got it at a bargain price. £20! How cool is that. Retail price is about 60£. And the Transformer movie I would rate it 8/10. It wasn't that bad after all.

Its been a mad world running inside of me. The most common illness is stress, that brings along its other friends along. Laughter don't make sense, jokes are no longer funny, relentlessly searching for joy lately. I get annoyed easily and ignorance starts floating above surface.

Ugh. I'm homesick. I miss people. I need a hug. Its torturing.

experience a new territory.

So people I've moved out temporarily. Why, because they kicked me out from my university dorm for the freshers coming soon. Okay it wasn't so bad after all, Ms. Nice Weychii allowed me to stay over at her crib for now. Teehee. Anyway just so you know, I have sleeping problems. Durh who doesn't right. Because of the new disease called computer addiction. Anyways it's up, this is Amily's place tho.

This is going to be my temporary room. Otherwise, its someone elses in 2 months time.

The living room. Heheh, yea I know, so luxurious. Its alright, the place doesn't belong to me. I might live in a cubicle again when I move out.

The kitchen. Amily's favorite place in the whole penthouse.

Weychii modelling for the living room. Like usual, she always appear in tons of my pictures.
Thats about it for now. So soon, another owner will be back from Brussels, enjoying this place along with us. My heartbeat is so abnormal, I think its because of this unbalance sleep. Anyways I'm pumped up for the upcoming pieces of my life. Wow, how boring.

Craving for the discounted Swedish Meatball in Ikea, 10 pcs for 1 pound. But thats after 6pm, with the Ikea Family Card tho. So we grabbed some late lunch, went around Ikea. Mostly taking our sweet time walking and playing with the furniture and interior decorated by Ikea themselves.
Enjoy the pictures!

Love Ikea always. Simplicity that beautifies the furniture. The only thing I'm probably against is, the use of workers to mass produce their product and for pay cheap wages to the workers. I'm not quite sure, at least they provide jobs for people? Anyways the sky was beautiful today, thank you.
