The So Called Big Day

Yea, the convocation.
A sweaty convocation.
First child in the family.
Kind of a big thing, maybe.
I think my parents are at least half relieved they've finally got rid of paying instalment for a Mercedes, that's what my cousin said.
Then now, they're worried about my health, my career, & ehem, my relationship.
Okay, I don't want to get emotional now, because I just came back to my room after sending them away to the airport.
Yes, my big day! I've finally graduated. I'm a degree holder.
And I've already changed to my second job. Lol~
I hope I'll like it & stick long with it.
These few days have been relaxing & enduring.
Went to Kampar to visit my brother.
Despite the undevelopment, it's a great place, because of the crazily chilling weather.
And according to my brother, it's guaranteed safe.
When we first arrived, I told mum & dad I couldn't breathe.
Goodness, no nothing at all.
My brother said it's difficult to find food on weekends.
And the food there is not nice.


And I feel sorry that I didn't have time to take many photos with EL mates.
My parents were rushing to leave. Moreover, I was not feeling pretty well that day.
Finally, our parents met each other.
Took big group photos.
My dad threatened to post on Facebook. *evil*
Geez, I had so many things to say.
But now, I can't think of any.
Fine, then I'll go back to my series marathon & enjoy the rest of the day off.
Cheerio~


Lastly, Happy Graduation, everyone!!!! 
All the Sampat mates, you'll be sorely missed.

At The End of The Day

Firstly, I would like to apologise to a random visitor to my blog about my previous comment on the stereotyping statement I made in one of my posts.

I know very clearly what sort of person I am.

I'm not racist.

I'm just stereotyping. I despise my own race for their certain acts too.

And I made comments about them in one of my earlier posts as well.

However, I apologise for raising any angst.

I've removed the potential anger stimulating section.

Went to Black Canyon for dinner again last night.

Had Fish & Chips. My god, it's effing nice.

Thai Western fusion restaurant.

The service is *thumbs up*, the food is, needless to say, awesome.

But the Chicken chop is not good. Too hard to chew on, according to Couz x2.

Received an unexpected call yesterday.

I've been accepted to work in the IQ development institution.

It has been 2 weeks, I thought I lost it.

So, thinking that the notice period was 2 weeks, I went to submit my resignation letter today, after collecting my convocation attire today.

Then, the Project Manager, from the same hometown as mine, said it's a month. 

He looked pretty schemy. I get it, they are desperately short of hands. 

Whatever, if I have to, I would stay for 2 more weeks. As if I have a choice.

I'll check with my employment letter later.

Luckily, the new company doesn't mind waiting for another month.

For this, I'll do a thanksgiving prayer.

Finally, the big day is nearing. A sweaty convocation.

I'm thrilled to meet the Corner Lot gang.

Went to 1U after that after getting offer letter from my new place.

Garr, I miss the feeling of shopping in 1U in an weekday during daytime!

Ooi Noo Yin took me to a few new places.

More choices for shopping now.

That Elson just got released from "jail" since last week.

Has been asking us out but we're too tired.

He's going to get very angry because we've been declining his invitation several times.

Saw a left hander shirt today.

Wanted to buy but smaller size was out of stock.

The colour I wanted is for guy, the design for girl is V collared & it's neon green. NO.

The statement on the shirt: If the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only left handed people have the right minds!

I've got the day off for tomorrow too.

At the end of the day, I thought I would have felt bad.

I was feeling bad just now.

But with the pouring rain now & with some reassuring text messages, I'm back to the happy-go-lucky me.

Quoting Eli, If even Lynda has worries, everyone on this world will go insane.

See you this Friday, Eli!

Nights, rainy night. I love you.

The General Specific

By Band of Horses

If the trials at hand are really getting you down 
We had a close call, I didn't even see it.

Then another one, I hardly believed it at all. 
What the writers say, it means shit to me now. 
Plants and animals, we're on a bender when it's 80 degrees. 

The end of December, What's going on? 
Only for you and me.

When the showing up ends, who's going back to the south, 

Where hungry necks that I know, and runnin' 
The blender in a lightning storm, are disguised as a blessing I'm sure. 
Growing up here, there comes a fork in the road, 

Pants have gotta go, we're on an island on 
The fourth of July, it looks like the tide is going home. 
In time I'd find a little way to your heart, 

Down to the general store for nothing specific, 
Gonna wash my bones in the Atlantic shore

Only for you and me.

Everyone is trying to be clear about everything in their lives.

Okay, maybe some not.

As I agree with the fact that some things are better left unknown.

I, on the other hand, at most times, insist to be clear about everything if possible.

I don't like to be left like an idiot. But I know when to pull over if I'm sure the truth is better left undiscovered & causes me only harm if otherwise.

Basil calls me paranoid. I say, I'm just very specific.

I don't want to defend myself. But maybe it's occupational disease.

Particular in words.

I need to be descriptive. Defensive, I'm beginning to admit.

I don't like to be misunderstood.

Unless I don't care about what some might think.

In the end, I would just call myself emotionalist.

Sometimes, I'm a fatalist.

Overall, optimist.

And I've found out the compliment I get the most.

My smile.

And I just want to make earth a better place.

Too bad I'm an emotionalist.

And I love violence. Only in movies.

And I believe in cartharsis theory.

And I'm glad, to some people, I am actually influential.

Carol, especially. I always try to make her see the world the way I do.

And I always succeed.

Enough with these related sentences to the title.

Here you go, some general specifics of me.

Good night.

Thank you God, for everything.

P.S. : I miss you so much, baby sis. Everytime I'm on the phone with her, she always asks me when I'm going home. I promised I'd go back after final exam and yet I'm still here.

A Notable Saturday

Woke up at 9am this morning.

The first thing I do is of course, switching on my lappie.

And I went on Facebook.

Saw a friend request.

Someone I totally didn't expect.

But at first sight, I recognised the name.

The first guy ever who confessed to me, haha, together with his silly photo.

He'll yell at me when he sees this. Hey, I still remember vividly how you looked like in the photo kay. *laugh*

Almost 10 years ago.

Phew, such a long time.

I am grateful & glad that we can be friends.

Said he couldn't sleep the night before & thought about his long lost friends.
And I'm in his list. Not bad ey, your memory?

Well, we were in the same class for 4 months, then I was transferred to different school.

Never thought he would remember me.

Told me I'm his first crush. That was cute. Okay, you asked me to be proud, right?
I am. Satisfied? :p

I don't have many friends from hometown.

Together with nice weather, this feeling is awesome.

Special & nice. People you never thought you could be friends with.
Some things, you just never saw them coming.

That's why when they do, they surprise you.

But I do hope the surprises I get are good ones.

But I understand we have to experience bad things as so to be grateful.

Dragged till I finally got hungry.

When I wanted to go grab something to eat, Cousie times two came out from her room.

Yup, time to go out as we planned.

Lunch in Prince, crazy big portion of XO sauce fried rice. It's enough for 2 meals.

Fixed 2 pairs of sandals at cobbler's.

Couz wanted to go check out cross-stitching materials.

Ended up not buying anything.

But being obsessed with buttons, I bought a few wooden buttons.

Haha, whatever, to sew on my plain shirts, or on my ribbon hair clips.

Or just for collection.
I have a thing for buttons. Clothings with a lot of buttons are irresistible.
Or bookmarks, scarfs, shoes, pouch, bags, anything you can sew buttons on.
*sparkling eyes of obsession*


While having lunch, he called to ask me out for movies.
Turned out to be a triple date.
Went to watch The Expendables in Tropicana.
Brutal & violent. My type.
Then, went for a drink.
Last event of the day, he dropped me in Tiara.
To attend Volker's farewell party.
Went back to Germany this morning.
Gosh, I got emotional.
Because he became emotional.
After we pushed him into the pool, he got up.
Standing there smoking coolly while we were all chatting around.
I noticed & went to him.
He said, "I'm just enjoying this moment. I'm happy that so many of you came.
I was thinking, if only 4 or 5 of you showed, I would think, what did I do wrong?
Then, so many of you showed up. That means I have made good friends here."
Gave everyone a nice big hug.
I introduced cheese related food to him.
Hence he named my eyes cheesy eyes.
You'll be missed, Volker.
Next farewell party should be Karen's, then Phillip's.
Met new friends, Louisa who can speak Mandarin crazily fluently, & Anne who is interested in unique designs. Girl stuffs. Ha. Introduced her Keller Homemade when she saw my tissue holder.
Told her Keller only makes one for each design. Onliest is the selling point.
Hehe, I brought you business!

Mood of the Day: I feel artistic today. Too much classic literature on my table.

And the weather reminds me of Charles Dickens.

Bah, humbug!


I'm grateful for what I have.

But I miss home a lot. I miss my piano sorely.

Black Friday

In fact, I didn't even remember it was Black Friday.
For me, it's just an ordinary day. Except it's Friday.
As usual, catch up time.
Nothing much happened. I don't remember as well.
I think too much, that's why I don't remember much as well.
Darn, I should really write more. Too little time. No excuses.
Yes, Lynda, if you spend less time watching your series.
I have loads of pending tasks & wants I haven't attended to.
My life ought to be more meaningful.
A few occasions occurred that allowed me to redress my karma a bit.
Helping old lady with her heavy bags & still felt bad because that's the most I could do.
Lending extra hands when you're not asked to do so.


Attended church, the one I mentioned earlier.
Finally, a church I'm completely comfortable with.
There was this aunty there, superb cute & generous.
Think I'll stick for a while.
Hope that I can make some changes to it.
Less organised but more passion.
They sing louder, they read louder, & in unison too.
And the roti canai near the church is the best I've tasted. :p


Received my handmade bookmark from Keller.
Love it, I'm such an obsessive collector.
Just don't let me start liking something.
I can't stop until I get bored.
That will take years.
Discovered an accessory shop. 
The aunty recognised me when I went for the second time.
Went there the third time yesterday after I learned that Xcessbook is celebrating their 3rd year anniversary & they're offering free 3 year membership when you purchase fifty bucks & above, when at normal time, it's a hundred.
So, I asked, "After 3 years, how much will it cost to renew?"
"It's free." ( speechless...)
Fair, I get it.
They're concerned as they still don't know the business prospect.
Well, anyways, I don't mind paying membership renewal fee anyways.
It's a nice place to get books.
Especially classic literature.
First, not many read classic literature.
I mean, compared to modern literature.
& because classic literature somehow has not much value, I mean, not many appreciate it.
So, the books are darn lot cheaper.
Bought Beowulf & Dracula. *big grin*
Met Ah Bee there & managed to hit the amount, thanks to her & her colleague.
Because I didn't have anything else I wanted to buy.
Those books I'm hunting, not available there.
And I got my member card!!


Went for another interview in KL.
The job title & description are exciting but the daily tasks are robotic.
Much higher pay, but in KL.
That area is a horrendous place.
Not to mention the jam after work.
Still deciding whether it's worth the sacrifice.
Can't imagine what time I'll reach home & my dinner. Gone.
Anyways, I don't think I did well. Wouldn't be short-listed, I guess.


Lastly, I would really like to shout out.
"I hate Twilight."
I've been wanting to say this for a long time.
It's a stupid love story no matter how many eye candies there are.
Hate it when everyone said, "Why? I thought everyone likes the story. Especially you girls."
I admit there's a special reason why I hate Twilight so much.
Not avoiding the obvious ground that it reminds me of someone I think I will never stop hating despite the effort to suppress the intense abhorrence.


Not to worry, peeps, I won't hate you if you like Twilight, or obsessed with it.
It's personal, I know.
Cheers.


Add on: I left out an important event!
It's the Left Hander's Day today!
I never remembered to celebrate this day.
I will starting next year.
I'm proud to be a left-hander.
With this, I present the links to:-
Famous Left Handers
One hundred Famous Left Handers
Famous Left Handed People
I didn't know They were Left-Handed!

And I found out Hugh Jackman is a left hander. So is Robert DeNiro! *love*
And erm, Lady Gaga. Erm. Yea.


Kay, Garfield eyes. Buenos noches.
