Im done with these idiots.

************************************************************************

We were expected to be busier today at the F&G show, but it was just ok, sold alot of those fan crossed hat though...and found out that there were other ppl started selling hats today, n they sell it infront of the entrance...saw tonnes of ppls wearing theirs... damn competitive loh...

I hate competition, but guess tats the way the world is, really...im sick of comparing, go away! i duwanna compare with u, im just doing my own shit. my house, my garden, my lunch, my projects, my grades...I deserved what I did n so do u. so stop it!

On n all, my jaw was actually tired n hurting for smiling....coz there were too many happy old ppls there, u gotto be happy too being around them and we were until later of the day..

Once again, i crashed, but is ok to break down, so tat i let things out n tomorrow will be better...darling supposed to take over the store but he didnt, he was just there for me....thank you so much..

flower n garden show - day2

looked forward to see Nadia n christ today since we had such a good time last evening...

the show is even busier n boy those breeze got me carried away as it wasnt as hot as yesterday n was under the sun almost the entire time ....BUT! two hours b4 closing...I realised I was sun burnt...itches n painful, hate it! n the funniest thing is i was wearing sun glasses the whole time,so.

Did I mention bout Theresa? shes with the welder chic next stand, and She is the welder chic!! she designed n custom made gates n windows ,yup she welded em! very ambitious n brilliant lady,I have full respect for her. We kinda connect in the way of being the only or one of the very few female in wat we re doing. but hey...welding, isnt that something?

came home, supposed to be finishing assignment, Im not even done with the first question in past 2 hours...

darling is having good time with his dad at the latin n carribean fest...they havent been spending time together alone for awhile now.

Flower n garden show - day 1

is the first day of flower n garden show, after my presentation,I went down to topaz park ..ooo hot sunny day!! Thank god darling made me put this fan cross hat up, they sell well coz the sun was soo fierce.

Met Nadia n Christ, there with the compost corp next stand. Nadia is malairish...dad is malaysian, mom is irish...n christ is just pure canadian...so happy, felt like im home with her those words "uluest" n "lapar" n "lepaking" ...

we went out for dinner ...had such a wonderful wonderful time...we chatted... we opened up...n will give the credit to those beers...such a good way to end a hardwork day...

hugz

thank you so much darling, thx for hugging me,supporting me n always being there for me...

cat is gone :(

spca called , theres a space for shimi, contemplating if we should keep the cat or let her be available for adoption. Seriously, i wish im better of with pets...i just never grew up having one for more than a month...always somehow gave it away coz we were never good with pets....in this point, im exactly like my mom...both of my sisters were quite an animals lover, esp Angie. Loving them and having to take care of them,i mean the responsiblity.. is another story....well i love playing with them...but cant just constantly giving them attention...ARGGG i feel really bad for Su Ann, i bet shes really sad bout it. and did i mention shimi s in the cage of SPCA now... She wish someone will keep her n we r the only one could but yet we didnt, just let her go.... is like " I wish i loved her but i dont"

I was told ppls forget bout pet easily...I dunno bout that as i never had one. well anyway ,like she said "it has to be done..." , Really hope they ll find shimi a nice new home...

spoke to yh just now , talked whole bunch of things but didnt really know what i was talking bout, i know i called with intentions but yet dunno what they were. ARG anyway! But it was definately nice to talk to her again..... gosh really miss those time....

seriously alot to be done for school and i dont feel like doing anything....come on, nicole!! just one more week to go...get things done like how there supposed to!!! some one gotto kick my lazy ass...

Wedding

As we missed jaynes wedding shower last sun, we made it up by cooking her lunch at kinoyos, we had Italian stuffed mushrooms for appertizer, roasted chicken and thai noodle as main courses, yummy riteee??? nw i suddenly remembered we forgot bout the blueberry pie!!?? I dont usually drink in the noon but i had two glasses of wine, and chanted for 15 mins, never chant while im a lil drunk so,tats something diff.

Jaynes wedding is next week, the concept of wedding here is bit diff, i ve only attended one wedding so far, as they like to keep it small, they'd announced their marriage to the world but only really good frens n family r invited to the wedding, Jayne always leaves msges in my machine with this opening:" hey this is jayne calling, ur SGI fren...." n none of her SGI frens were invited to her wedding, only to the shower and mind u, tats not the reason why i didnt attend, it was midterm time.

In our tradition, everybody were invited!! fathers frens, mothers frens, granparents frens.... mmmmm why if i throw a lil wedding dinner in msia?? with that massive amount of frens n familiess and i only invite 50 of them. nono! massive amount of mine n darryls frens n families. (forgotten this is a two ppls thing,hehe), what would those who r not invited say bout this? but of coz! our parents wont let us do that...

another thing: wedding photos, now,wedding is a big thing, everybody wanna look good and had those moments captured right??? fair enough.... so they went to studio, spent thousands on their wedding albums, and potraits.. then let those albums sit somewhere in the dark closet with the smell of moth balls...????? i dont get it. but yet maybe is the social influence,Im gonna do the same thing sometime too.

dilemma! anyway........

I ve bought tickets to BLACK EYED PEAS CONCERT THIS THURSDAY!!!! hahahaha dont be jealous as u know how fun it will be.

"complete" weekend

sat nite:
Su ann brought two frens home; Edna & Ayako, had a girls nite aka movie nite!Princess diaries 2, featuring popcorn, coke and chocolate! movie was hilarious. harry potter dvds didnt work , which means i couldnt made pirated copies! must be some kinda copy right protection. Anyhoo, exchanged them to VHS on the way sending the girls home. reason...dvd player got wracked! the video guy gave me a tip as i was heading out : "dont bother repairing it unless there under warantee, is cheaper to get a new one." .....OK! note taken! *grin*,im damn bad!! haha...came home finished up the remaining 85 mins of "the pacifier"...mmm is alrite.

sun morning:
darling came home, tired, messy and excited!! brought home: remaining food, stories, 5 fridge magnets, stories, roxy goodies(shirt, purse, lunch box, jacket,necklaces),more stories.... went out for taiwanese food, came home saw someone i know three houses down,,,not sure....stood there 2 mins n stared. "HARUN!" , and it was him!! he was checking out new place , went with him..quite a messy place but love the garden. there grapes growing at the yard. He didnt quite like it(reason: theres no bed, room is next to kitchen, messy housemates),Sorta conviced harun to take it(is easier to discuss home work with neighbour),and he paid the deposit. haha..

sun evening:
after harun left, went met up with the taiwanese darling met in jasper,po yang n brenda.thy stayed with us. went beacon hill park, found this amazing tree to climb...as we went in there were few "monkeys" in there..mannn those kids can really climb. bla bla bla, then bbq , su ann brought Naoko, AND SHE DID MY DISHES!! haha...very nice of her. stuffed bout 1130pm then chit chat,po yang had this amazing camera, and he showed us pics he took, wow! very pro. went to bed bout 230am, after darling showing me all the amazing pics he took.......DAMN!!! WHY DID I HV TO MISS THAT TRIP!!

bad pms day

staying in town for the weekend, got a message frm james yesterday , they r going to vancouver and was asked if i wanna catch a ride with them. when i called, they r already on the ferry... behaved very childish with this dissapointment, coz i just gave darling alot of shit, very very unreasonable. but i think mainly is becoz im "pms"ing. YUP, this month very bad. poor darling...sorry!

Su Ann came stay with me two days ago, im glad she kept me company...having such a good time...Today we went to tilicum mall, i returned the sun glasses (guess it didnt suit me the way i expected it to), and exchanged the blink blink 2 in 1 cardigan thingy with a bermuda short. quite happy with it now... wanted to watch "wedding crashers" last night but we were late n tickets sold out. ended up rented the rest of the harry potters, the pacifier and princess diaries 2. felt asleep 5 mins after the pacifier started. mind me, it wasnt the show, i had a long day.

Harry potter (book 6th) is available now. Go get it potters fan!

Quality of life

"A group of working adults got together to visit their University lecturer. The lecturer was happy to see them.Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

The Lecturer just smiled and went to the kitchen to get an assortment of cups - some porcelain, some in plastic, some in glass, some plain looking and some looked rather expensive and exquisite.

The Lecturer offered his former students the cups to get drinks for themselves.

When all the students had a cup in hand with water, the Lecturer spoke: "If you noticed, all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal that you only want the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all you wanted was water, not the cup, but we unconsciously went for the better cups."

"Just like in life, if Life is Water, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold/maintain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change."

"If we only concentrate on the cup, we won't have time to enjoy/taste the water in it."

another and another shopping spree

I should really list the "episodes" of all the shopping spree entries, then ill know how much i spent on attempting to make myself look better, but still not any better but just plain GOOD!heheheh,(wahhh behtahan myself!!!) wonder where did i get all that confidence eh? haha got *hitted* by this cute guy in the bus stop. *shy*, ani pui still got market.

Today has been quite a day,i feel like a scout! first helped two ppls (at diff time) for directions,then this lady to pick up all the stuff tat she dropped in the bus, then i found a purse in the lobby of my clients apartment. took a peek inside and there were quite a big stack of dollar bills,(and a pad. haha..)as tempted as i wanted to just take the money n go shopping, i brought it up to my clients to see what we can do, and tat turned out to be her roomates purse. Im so proud of myself!! hehe, but i spent 100bucks shopping today, *ouch!* :~( and that makes me not feeling good at all, which has against the whole purpose of shopping. ARRGG such a dilemma! I shouldnt hv got down at the tilicum mall stop, should ve gone straight home.Maybe I shouldnt go to mainland this weekend. I still have to come up with 1k for my tuition fees.

before shopping i went to camosun college to post a notice to sell my books, been keeping them for one good year for this year bridge students. Spoke to some of them and found there are quite a few new editions,oh well! Dropped by Blairs office, and we chatted for half an hour, is so good to see him again. He s the sweetest instructor i ever had. Wish he'd call me for sailing trip as im still in his sailing list.

last but not least, the goodies i bought today : -

nicole richies sunglasses , she paid thousands for hers and took me only $20.

cardigan+ blink blink lace spaghatti strap 2 in 1

this is actually the back of the blouse.

and a feminine cardigan, welcome to my closet

As i said, i felt bad for spending so much, so im thinking of returning one or two of them. or ill stay in victoria for the weekend. mmmm tough decision eh!?

revenge of the cat

Please excuse me if i have more than one entry a day, as Im soo bored.

Couldnt sleep last night, maybe nervous bout the test this morning, or maybe i had too much pepsi, or maybe im worn out as i spent my weekend in the library.
So! i went blog hopping again, and I changed my template too!features my favourite color; lime green (for beetle, and ipod mini) ,absolutely love it! bank of canada trust is giving away ipod shuffle for free if u switch ur personal or business cheqing accounts to them. OH i would have done it if i have a cheqing account.

mean while, it took me one beer and two barcadi rum shots to go to bed at about 3am.

woke up extremely early by darlings morning call, had bacon and eggs for breakfast. spotted a small puddle of yellowish water on my kitchen counter...yup! it was cat pee, and dont ask how i knew that...maybe she was upset coz i kicked her out of the room last night as i was having hard time breathing, yes im allergic to cats.

i just found out that ....OMG! i forgot what I was going to say...damn!! i need some sleep.... peace y'all!

*********************************************************************

I just rented harry potter- and the philosopher's stone ,after not even halfway thru the book,seemed a lil eager isnt it, as Im at it, I couldnt help but keep imagining what would the characters be like in the movie. Heard that the books r way better than the movies though, well...ill find out! the 6th Harry potter will be available in 5 days though, most importantly, Harry kept me company during the bus wait, kept me from looking like a complete idiot as i was waiting for my food alone in the restaurant,haha. (PS: i hate eat out alone!)

had a good tennis game with daniel, then got whole bunch of chubby chickens, arrr im done with chicken for the rest of the week. Darling predicted that they might reach vancouver on friday , Ill most likely meet them there for the weekend,hehehhe... zara, here i come!!

corny; typical opening in a conversation

Pls excuse my "mou liu"ness as I just heard this conversation between two ppls, lets just call them A and B.

A: Hi, how r u?
B: (2)good. (2)n how bout u?
A: good....(respond to 1), good (respond to 2)
B: yea.....
(5 seconds silence)
B: is gorgeous today eh?
A: oh yea...absolutely...

and then they walked further n further away which means I couldnt hear the rest of the conversation. hahaha, I had came across this kinda typical conversation many times, then this linked to how we get bored, n cant get very close to ones here as opposed to back home.(or maybe im just not used to it..yet!) becoz in this culture, ppls are polite,(sincere or not) is almost a routine to start a conversation this way. so picture if u see this fren very often, then wat? u gonna talk about the same ol things over and over again, like weather, what did u do on last weekend? hows school, hows work, hows life??? then u ll stop seeing each other that often coz bored of each other....ARRRGG!!

VS back home, we make fun of each other without getting offended. we made lame silly jokes, we try to be as rude as we can to close ones so that it wont be so formal n serious. we laughed so hard n slammed the table in mamak stall without have to care being judged. But if u do that here, ppls will look at u in a weird way,they ll think ur drunk or high or something, just like melvin and I laughed so hard in the ferry that we got those "looks" by ppls who passed us by. call me uncivilized, call me barbarian , u might be one class above, but i dont care as long as im having fun with my frens...is not that im not having fun with frens here but is different,REALLY! we started to act silly and carefree after we r drunk.

maybe is "our" kinda sense of humour (sampatness), coz danny n kelly told me, even they went with other groups in malaysia, they wont get "our" jokes. Thats why, i got many comments that Im not as fun anymore when i was back home......now it explained! coz i barely use my sampatness here and it got rusty, hahaha ,or maybe Im growing up and I refused to deep down inside, I still wanna be the "me" in high school, coz thats the most fun time i ever had in my life.

I miss you all, my high school frens!!

email that made my day

so happy to recieve email from yh today, few days ago,i was just thinking me n her had "lost contact", as i dunno whats going on with her life anymore, felt so far away from her despite on the distance. how could we!? at one point we used to see each other almost everyday, go everywhere with her green wira...and my parent known her as "green car", haha ...those were the days, good times.....i really miss that.

saw danny in webcam, gosh he looks sooo different, so grown up, i just got this vibe from him that he s not happy even though he tried to put up those funny faces to amuse me. and he s not the danny i used to know , in a good way.

after all the time wasted at home yesterday, spent quite a few hours in the library today, i ve done so much more today. satisfied! shimi is sleeping infront of the mirror,hehe got bitten by her just now....there must be some spot around her head that i touched that triggered that, coz this is not the first time....mmmmm?
alrite,im ready for bed,zzzzz...

Lets pray for world peace

Is sad to hear another terror attack, major blasts in England after Irish time. well I reckoned....Tony Blair is not my favourite person but is sad to see this happened to innocent civilians, especially my good frens are there. I recieved email from kelly today saying that shes fine, when i read the subject of the email :"Im fine" , I didnt know what was going on, well after all Im 8 hours behind , as I went through, OMG, her office is only 10 mins walk from where the bus got blew up! and she takes bus to work everymorning....Thank god, Thank god, Thank god that she s fine,so is danny.

Tsunami attacked, it was sad...but is mother nature, cant blame nobody. But terrorism is really throwing me off!! i felt really sorry for "them" who are being cold blooded, becoz they were trained to hate and to kill. This might be part of the what we called "holy war" ,We may have different belief but what did religion teaching actually do to them? I dont think these are part of it, then WHY!? WHY!?
And how did it feel for the US and Britain troops in Iraq war ,bombing and killing hundreds of innocents, who got caught up in the situation and absolutely helpless? They have wife and kids back home awaited for their returns,and this is going to haunt them for the rest of their life. For the ones who assigned the war, the ones who supported it, to me they are no difference than terrorists, than murderers.

I just dont get it!!when will this end?? Well at least,Im glad there are still majority of us who wanted the world to be a better place. lets pray for world peace, NMHRGK

 

this pic was taken only seconds after the blast



two ppls died in the bus blast

Home Alone

heres my version of home alone, and this will last for two weeks, as darling and Andrei took off to their road trip across BC to Alberta this morning.All they brought was camping gears n clothes as they gonna camp all the way and guess their biggest expense will be on gas than anything else. I was soooooo tempted to go but work n school n tests, two weeks is too long. Well guess im not exactly alone as Shimi (the cat) is here coz Jefri left to Malaysia and the cat will stay with us till they find her a new home.

She s now outside of my room scratching n meowing to come in, i just saw her paw slided underneath the door. hehehe, guess i have to let her in now...

yup i did and shes lying on the bed with me now.

I could make use of this month since I dont hv to work coz everybody is away for holiday,and is the last month of the semester which mean projects due, final and midterm 2 r close together. I met this electric female engineer from SGI meeting, I was asked if im interested in this 6 months work term, sent my resume and cover letter today and hopefully ill get it,is canada marine engineering,good pay and good benefits if u work for government here unlike in Malaysia. yup they r rich coz of the crazy tax weeeeeee have to pay. and this will make ur CV sooooooooo much prettier. YUP! the canadian government. Before anything I have to find out if permanent resident can "serve" their govenrment or strictly canadian? duh!!! dont we get the same benefits beside voting? and i dont care about the elections.
