Cruise control

In 2 weeks, I would be free.
Well, at least for 2 weeks before the new sem begins.

Finals is hovering around the corner,
I shall fully concentrate on just this one unit for 2 more weeks.
I should probably stop worrying so much.
Im sure I can do this.

Anyway, I finally handed in my research work today.
After 2 months, im finally done =)

Finding me

I realized that my blog is probably filled more with pictures than words.

It's funny how I always have so many things to say but I dont know what to write about. It had been the same with my diary, ohyea I still have one. I actually have one every year. Not the one that you keep yourself updated with my current events, but the one that I pour out my heart and soul .I could blame it on the busy schedule, but it seems that Im the one asking for it. It's so much easier to blame everyone but yourself, but it hit me on how immature that is. It's all about your own locus of control. I believe in my own internal locus of control, my destiny is due to my own actions, not so much on luck and chances. But of course, luck do come in handy sometimes.

There are times I feel that I am incapable of achieving my goals, but I sometimes force myself to strive for the best. I am not very competitive in nature, i dont see the point of being the best in everyone's eyes, when I personally dont feel any personal satisfaction. Happiness to me is not all about having branded goods/ being popular/ good-looking / well-liked about people. Heck these are the things I dont care about. As they always say, it's the simple things in life that beings joy, I couldnt agree less. I am happy doing things I enjoy doing. I am happy if my family & true friends are happy, oh let's not forget chocolates and ice-cream too, haha im so lame. But it's true =)

But what im grateful for the fact that my family and my closest friends accepts me for who I am, yea the warts and all. Thank you =) I dont see the point of always scrutinizing my every word and action anymore just to please others. I guess I've finally learned how to stop being a " YES" person all the time and feeling like it is an obligation to please others.

I might not be perfect, and I'll never be and I don't intend to. This is how it is gonna work =)

Green Day

The Killers

Muse

for the first time in my life I wished I lived in Singapore.


NO FAIR LA.
I WANNA WATCH GREEN DAY LIVE IN MALAYSIA!
not on tv or youtube.
which is impossible for the fact that Billie Joe mooned the audiences in Singapore. How awesome haha!


shall resume blogging when im done with my work =)

Reflect

It was raining cats and dogs.
Even so,
the garbage collectors were still collecting the neighbourhood's trash under the pouring rain.
Sometimes observing situations like this really gives me a constant friendly reminder on how really lucky I truly am.

Mid-jan

Ok, my apologies. I've been abandoning this for the longest time now.

I've been busy. sheesh, I am always busy.
The group report had been handed up, now im back to my research work, while balancing out with making time for my finals preparation.

Last Sunday (yes, LAST WEEK haha)
My bro & I had a bonding session with our cousins Krystle, Bryan & David =)
in which Bryan make time to tune my guitar while also teaching me some chords. terima kasih!

Yesterday was our photo shoot for Chea Ying's online boutique
which was also finally the time to meet my long lost insane SAM partner Sherene, whom I've not seen for almost a year.

Penang

Aloha!

Penang was awesome. We managed to find the coffee shop that sold the best duck rice & Oh chien. Yums! We were lucky this time around, as we had the chance to tried out the many shops that we failed during our previous visit. Oh, not forgetting the fantastic Murtabak!

Penang is definitely the best place to hunt for bands t-shirt : Green Day, Avenged Sevenfold etc, those kind you find in KL, which is sold much cheaper in Penang. We actually bought it from a wholesaler, which you could choose from the many wholesaler shops available in town.

The best part of the trip is sitting by the beach after breakfast, heaven. But the peace was occasionally disrupted by the many crows flying around. urghh.

and it seems that the sea is not deemed to be swam in, as it is well, filled with jelly fish.

I have now gained weight (as expected) & am darker.
but 3 days of non-distractions was worth it =)

Penang: Here i come!

Aloha!

Im off to food haven : Penang torow. Im so so excited! i cant wait to be back there! I know, my last trip was just a slightly more than a month back. But, hey, GOOD FOOD ! no complains man! I shall satisfy my " oh chien " (egg oysters) craving. nyum nyum! =)

ohyea and it seems that my whole family thinks that the reason why I drop by a petrol station is just to get a chocolate ice cream =.=
