The 3 of us in indah villa have been having pretty rotten luck lately. lol looks like all of us should go look for a feng shui master to cleanse the house. *Laughs. Kidding. But well, look at the bright side. I guess there are good and bad times. It should be over soon.
The sad part would be accidentally deleting all the messages in my phone's inbox. :( sigh How silly can I be. It happened so many times. Grr
Oh well. The assignments are getting tougher this semester. All of us are still trying to cope. So many theories to apply. The readings----> Full of ambiguity.
Oh yeah. The annual Asian Badminton Championship will happen in Johor in the middle of April. I have no idea why there is a fixed location this time round. It has been held in various Asian countries before this. Remembering the very first time attending ABC was back in year 2006 (The very first time held in Johor). Atmosphere was great (but, it was an easy win for lee chong wei with not many top players being there). Well, that experience couldn't be compared to the one I has at the South East Asia games last year at Bangkok, Thailand. It was a once in a lifetime experience. I have been given a chance to witness various sporting events live. Another great experience would be at the World badminton championship last year. Ah yes. I know. you have probably seen me cheering like a crazy fan (my most unglamorous moment) on the Star newspaper or on TV. Not a very good outing for the Malaysian players but I still nevertheless enjoyed. That is also the time I realized that there isn't much sporting spirit in Malaysia as compared to many other countries (The Thais! Their amazing) Many just support only when there are wins.
Looking at the performances of athletes lately, it sure does not look very convincing. This could probably be due to: There is no concrete supervision. There are a lot of loopholes in training method. The relationship between coaches and athletes appears to be rather weak.
lol I shall stop before I start sounding like a crazy sports fanatic.
I watched Ah Long Pte Ltd today. It was very very funny but a little lame hahaha. Well watch it if your up to for a good laugh. :)
I will be back for more:)

It's an incredibly random day. I spent the afternoon baking vanilla cupcakes (Consider the fact that I haven't bake in ages since Sonia's birthday) after visiting the dentist in the morning. Went for a charity dinner for autistic children just hours ago. Nothing much to blog about. I'm flying back to KL tomorrow. It will be the starting of hell week. Have a nice night everyone and see you soon:)

Well It's funny that people will never be satisfied with just who they are. Neither am I. I guess it is probably due to social influences. People have a certain degree of expectations on everyone they come across in life. Be it how you look like, how you dress, how you carry yourself, what you like....
There are never ending criticisms.
There will always be an "imagined perfection" in every individual.
This is something unexplainable.... Hmmmmm
Anyway, seeing all the pictures of Melbourne from my friends makes me want to go there even more. I see beautiful sceneries and building structures. It would be interesting to experience something new. 2009:)
The braces will be out soon. I hope. lol I have this love-hate relationship with it. I'm looking forward to the day of smiling confidently:)
It's getting late. I'm heading to bed. Have a great night everyone.

The 3 softwares that I'm currently addicted to.
1: Google Earth.
This is one really cool software. If your interested in astronomy or love searching for various places around the world. This would be the one for you. You can search for galaxies, stars and planets by switching to the sky mode. You can search for any places around the world by using the earth mode.
2: Adobe CS3 Extended.
Yes. I finally got myself a copy of this amazing software. Although this requires huge space on your computer but it's worth while if your very much into editing and designing. No doubt CS2 is good but this is even better. Features including: producing better raw images, 3D compositing and texture editing, movie paint and it supports and wider range of formats. I really like this one.
3: Anvil Studio
This is for people who enjoys composing tunes. There is a wide range of instruments available. All you need to do is just create them. I'm very new to this. Still trying to get used to the features. This would be a replacement for the piano at home since I'm living in KL lol.
4: Veoh TV
Ahh yes. I watch online shows from here. They have a wide range of channels, shows, movies, videos. You can easily download them as well. Sounds great eh??
5: Audacity
This is a music mixing software. Not the best but it's user friendly. This is the very basic software for mixing music. If your want something better, probably virtual DJ would be better. I'm new to mixing music as well. It is pretty interesting though.
The holidays is coming to and end. Honestly, there is nothing much for me to do here but still, I feel just happy. There are times in life when you feel that things are not going all smoothly for you. I guess, home would be the perfect place to seek for peace.
Nothing much to update about. Have been pretty busy with my assignments. There are at least 2 assignments to past up each week starting from next week.
I will be writing on Juno for my film studies assignment. Hopefully this will secure me a good score.
Till then, Take care everyone. Will be back in KL on Saturday morning.

A day at the park:)

This would be the first year of me not going to church for Easter's mass. Usually mum would be the one bringing all of us to catch a glimpse of such a nice occasion. Mum is at Kuala Lumpur right now visiting Grandma and Grandpa. I still want to take this opportunity to wish everyone Happy Easter!
Spent my Saturday in a nice way. Had some fun with the family. Dad brought us out for a nice seafood dinner before shopping. Little Josh and baby Crissy are both growing up fast. Still adorable though:). I'm currently addicted to chipster. *Laughs It's good. It would be nice to eat it while watching movies.I remembered somebody saying that chips are gay because they make you freaking fat but taste heavenly. lol
This would be just a short break. I will be going back on the 29th. I shall take this as a break to release some stress from university. It's funny that I haven't been able to write long posts like I how I used to. Sigh* Lack of inspiration. Anyway, just a short update. Will be back for more:) Have a great day everyone!
Bought this for Joshua. Spongebob!:)

Melee-Built to last
I want to travel there someday.
Typing this on my home PC. Yes I'm back home again. :) It's a long day. I spent almost the whole day just sleeping and watching the TV. Yes, I brought back all my books so that I could study them and complete my assignments suring the holidays. My bag was a little too heavy today. Ah, the weather here in Johor is pretty much the same. All dark and gloomy.
The atmosphere at Indah Villa haven't been all that great lately with so many drama happening to all the 3 of us. But well, Hopefully things would get better soon. Thursday was just not the day for all of us.
Celebrated Shao Chong's birthday yesterday at Asia Cafe. Glad that he liked what we gave him:)
Happy Early birthday once again dude. Sorry that we won't be there on the actual day itself.
Just a short update. Will come back for more. More pictures soon:) Take care everyone.

Taken last week. All sunny and nice.
The weather have been pretty unpredictable lately. It was all sunny and scorching hot last week and it's all dark and gloomy this week. Sigh. The weather certainly is not doing anyone good. Having to complete the novel by tomorrow simply makes matter worst. All I think about is to lie on my bed and sink deep into a perfect dream. In order to compensate all the sleep I have been missing out on. I finally managed to get plenty of sleep yesterday night. Woke up this afternoon just right on time for lunch. Had this really good Pork noodle at Subang. Great recommendation Rach:)
The meeting for the Monash performing arts club was great. We had several ice breaking games to get to know one another. Went to Asia Cafe once again right after the meeting. Oh well, It's a pretty slow moving day. Tomorow would be the last day of class. It would be hell week after the holidays with tons of assignments awaiting to be completed. But for now, I guess I'm just going to have some fun during the holidays.
I know I got tagged but I'm pretty lazy to do it right now:P Alright back to Aunt Julia and the script writer. Take care everyone:)
Minni took a picture of me lol

Howie day-Collide
I watched this pretty unusual film today during film studies lecture "Punch, Drunk, love". The various sound effects are not what we usually hear in films. It focused on this man who is haunted by his abusive seven sister. All alone and unable to find love. He managed to find love with a women who came looking for help for her car. It's quite a bizarre film. But pretty enjoyable. You don't usually get to see Adam Sandler acting all violent in his films. 7/10. I feel asleep at the final 10 minutes though. Sigh. Too tired.
Just came back from Asia Cafe not long ago. Had a pretty good time just talking to the girls. I'm pretty glad that I have them up in KL with me. Well, living alone outside is certainly not easy. Occasionally, you face problems, and when there are people who can make you laugh and cheer you up, it makes problems seems so much smaller. I guess I am blessed. I might not be one of those popular kids or social butterflies who seems to have endless amount of friends. However, I guess what I have now is enough to make me feel great and lucky.
I'm missing the two little siblings of mine. Going back to spend some quality time with them. Hearing their laughters and voices is something I'm looking forward to. Yes. I like the fact that they are innocent and pure. Kids don't really bother about what they come across. It's very easy to make them happy and yes they are adorable:) I tickle, watch cartoons and have so much of fun with them. (Ahh, I'm an old fart T.T)
Authorship is one killer subject. We all had problems understanding the never ending theories, poems, novels..... Sigh. Alright I shall get back to the novel that all of us are supposed to complete by Wednesday. Have a great night everyone:)

I went over to my grandparent's house today. Had nice home cook dinner:) Nothing beats having home cook meals. Glad that grandma feels so much better right now. She was sick before this. Thats just all I did today.
There is a movie I want to watch when I get back to Johor. It's "The Leap Years". I know this is a little late for February 29 but well I still want to catch it. Bet people flocked cinemas in Singapore on that day itself. The trailer seems romantic.
Hey hey! If there is any of you who want to catch this film, let me know. :) I'll be back in Johor on this friday.
8am class tomorrow:( Have a great night everyone!

< Yes I know. I had class today=_= On a freaking Saturday. lol. Class was fun though. Watched a pretty good film for Mobile world's lecture entitled "The Namesake". It contains elements of migrants, marriage, family, cultural imperialism and love. I enjoyed the movie. It was hilarious at some scenes and there were several pretty touching scenes as well. 7.5/10
Went out for another movie outing just moments ago. Watched "Horton : Hears a who" Lol. It was so silly that it made the whole film so hilarious. Yes I like animated films as well. It is not easy to make an animated film. 7/10. Aaron was kind enough to pay for our tickets:P
You know what I do when I'm feeling sad, stressed or bored?
This----->, Click
Isn't it cute?? lol
and
This----->, Click
Quite challenging.
Ahh yes. I play online games.
Okay. Just a short update. I'm should be going to my grandparent's place tomorrow.Till then, have a great night everyone:)

Norah Jones- Don't know why
I went for Colbie Caillat's showcase at Laundry Bar couple of hours ago. It was a pretty good showcase but there were only a few songs being performed. I like the fact that most of her songs are relaxing and nice to listen to. It started later then expected (Due to the fact that it was raining heavily). I had a pretty good time. Went for a movie yesterday ("Rule number one") starring Fiona Xie and Shawn Yue. It's neither great nor bad for a horror movie. No doubt there a several good scenes. We were sitting right in front of the screen. It was pretty creepy having such a huge screen directly in front of our face. Especially when the movie is pretty gory and scary at the same time. Not too bad for a horror movie. 6.5/10
Wanted to join the Nike woman dance challenge but I booked the flight to go back to Johor already. Sigh What a waste. T.T
Ahh I'm tired right now. Shall post out some pictures right now and more tomorrow. Till then, have a great night everyone:)
Ps: The pictures are not that nice. I had a hard time trying to take them because the people in front of me are all blocking my camera. I had to tip toe while taking them Sigh T.T The angles are not that good. I couldn't focus the camera well.
Yeap. Thats Colbie Caillat
Adam C. I took a picture with him but it's in my friend's camera
