Sequels Mostly...

It’s been a while (as it always seems to be anyway). So let’s start with updating with sequels.

Japanese Karaoke Competition Finals @ ParkRoyal Hotel

Chill people. I didn’t get through the auditions. Phew! xD

But I went to support the event anyway. It was interestingly wonderful yet painful to the ears. Fun to watch (especially the performances by the teachers), sing-a-long (to Japanese lyrics) and practise a little foreign half-past-6 conversation with lots of sign languages.  Hahaha! It was cool.

YES2 Business Challenge Judging Session @ Taylor’s Lakeside Campus

Correct, we got into Top 12 out of 31 teams from the last Judging Session. Had lots of work and even a presentation to do in between these two sessions. And definitely lots of last minute work on my end. >.>

We were the 3rd last to present and we did quite well I would say. It’s simply defined “Short and Sweet”. I hope we can acheive the same effect next round. You heard me, we got through this round too. So we’re officially the Top 6 Finalists.

Sounds great! More work, here we come...

In a summary, I believe we’ll be having our own little business very soon. Can’t imagine it really, but it’s true.
 

Oh yes, special thanks to Sam for lending me her wonderful jacket for the presentation. I wish I could keep it. xD =p Thanks anyway. ^^

ACCA Sports Day @ Sunway Uni

Hahaha... Me, Owen, Kheng Mai and James all “semangat” go practise on Monday at 3K Sports Centre. The little tournament was on Sunday. Just the day before it, I hurt my neck at Kendo. The university people wanted participants to reach by 7.30AM for registration!! Crazy!

So I woke...could have went for it, but I decided to pull out last minute for the sake of my neck (excuses...) and much needed rest (had been having early mornings and late nights the whole week).  All that only to wake up later to read Owen’s sms that I could have won something due to the lack of female badminton players, so I automatically got into semi-finals. Grrr!! - - Not my luck I guess.

That's all for now. Exams are on the way, so I suppose even less update? xD No guarantees. Cheers!

Randomness At Its Peak (Work Stress?)

[Warning: Do not continue if you have not been going for regular checkups.

Because

1) Your entertainer does not remember when was the last time she went for one.  Therefore you get results such as this post. Voila!

2) Her sense of humour can be tad disasterous.

3) Your entertainer for this ___(insert the time of day you're reading this)____ just cares for your mental wellbeing.....she thinks. Hahahaha!]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*cackles* Time for a little amusement. *stirs pot*

Ok, lately I'd been using the witchypoo scenes when I'm...a little off, normally in the head. Hahahah! Looks like this place can definitely do with an update if not more. *looks around* I seriously should do up this little space. *looks at other people's blogs* How do they make it so nice? T.T Me = No blog deco savvy + no patience to do it + no time (for now). But I like that globe...that's the only thing I like currently. Hahahah

Right, this makes me wonder....I'm ranting...or so I think....at least the first paragraph is (no no, you see my finger pointing at the group of words there? Not the one liner). *silent* .... Anyway, what's the point of a blog? (Yes, I'd asked before) I see people ranting (mostly), updating their live stories (the gungho ones), and selling things (the smart ones..that is IF anything does sell). Great....now what?

*pauses* .....

Just in case you are clueless with what I'd been up to (of course you are), I'd been ___(insert ALL of the following given options here)____:

1. To an interesting entreprenuer dinner party. (Yeah, that's why you see some photos of me in a rare get up on facebook)

2. Having exams. (3months slaving to study 2 subjects...time will tell the end. It better be good!)

3. Going back to work. (Just restarted this week and I wish I may resign already. = = I suppose I get bored fairly quickly. Then again I'd been working for my employer on a flexible basis for....2.5years at least? Anything that goes beyond 2.5years means it'll stay. This theory is possibly applicable to anything.)

4. Kendo tournament and normal trainings. (Certain days just makes it....feel healthy no matter how painful it gets. Hahahah Sadist.)

And I will be ____(insert....really now..you just don't have a choice)____:

1. Going for a leadership camp the next 2 days in Port Dickson. (With a bus of strangers. I'm serious.)

2. Returning to full time studies next month. (I wasn't? Hahahaha)

3. Participating in some entrepreneur challenge. (Hm....what more can I get myself into? Hahahah)

*looks back up at title* Ah yes....wondering why did I refer to work stress. Because.....it's accounts people's peak period. See that PEAK and this PEAK? xD Sorry, I just come from a family that loves to play with words. Probably the pros and cons of knowing so many languages:

1. You play with them.

2. You mix 3 languages at least into one sentence and pray the other knows what you're talking about. If they give you the blank look, just try the other 3 languages together.

3. It sounds funny when it means so-and-so in Language A but gives a totally different meaning in Language B. Better still if the meaning makes it silly to process.

*another pause* ......

*does a shudder dance: shudders to the left, shudders to the right* Now you know perfectly why you won't find me in discos or any nightclubs. I dance funeny. xD

*thought of a car going round and round at the roundabout because the passenger just can't tell which way to go* Yeah...something like that happened before. xD

*pause* ....

*yawns, mood dying down* Phew....a load of random rubbish that was. I'm probably lacking lots of sleep. = = *shudders to bed*

Conclusion: Monkey mind.

Of Stilettos...More or Less

Case 1

Last week, I spent time studying in university until...well...past dinner time mostly. It was a rainy day and one those rare days when I parked inside campus (normally don't since it'll cost me a parking fee).

So I paid the parking fee and was leaving. The guards decided to open up the non-barrier side of the exit. In this case, they would normally walk up and take the paid ticket from anyone leaving. Must have been one of their blue moon days too, they didn't take the ticket from me and just waved me out. Result: I have one paid ticket unused.

I thought...maybe I could reuse it another day and save another RM2...or maybe let someone else have it. Someone even suggested that I sell it for a lower cost. @@ Well, I ended up using it...or tried to. I had only RM2 in my pocket today after lunch. So I decided to try my luck with the paid ticket and keep the RM2 in my pocket...for the rest of the month?! Unfortunately, the machine rejected the ticket and I had to pay up for the unpaid ticket (I took another one on my way into the carpark). There goes my RM2. If only I could forsee the future last week and saved RM2. Nooooooo!!! T.T *grumbles*

Case 2

Time flies. Today I reached university around...no idea, I didn't really notice but definitely before 2pm. I studied a bit until psychology friends finished their class and we went for lunch together. Return to study around...3pm? Studied on and on...I didn't really flip many pages...and it's 5pm already! Time really flies. If anyone can ever see Time, I bet it must be riding a jetplane. = =

Case 3

It's probably 6pm or reaching 7pm.. Some function was about to spark off in the multi-purpose hall of the university on the 4th floor. So you see lots of girls in cocktail dresses and boys in shirts and ties walking pass the foyer towards the lift. 

(Note: If ever you were in such positions as those girls and guys, think twice before you judge yourself imperfect or too perfect. I turned my head to look at EVERYONE and not at any particular person. You all look ok. Though if you saw me turning away really fast after looking, then you're probably not worth looking for long. *wince*)

I find it odd...most of the boys were wearing black or dark gray. There was no hint of colours. But they pulled it off well to not make it look like a funeral party.

The girls...took my breath away. Well...not them really, it's their shoes! They look like they can KILL!! x.x They seem so sharp...like stakes! >.o So imagine groups coming one after another. Everytime I turn to look at the girls, I'll get this...fainting feeling. It was definitely distracting me from my studies with the parade going on. (excuse...)

Well, I decided to pop upstairs to see what's going on, but the hall was dimmed of lights so I couldn't see much but I believe they were getting their...so-called buffet. And I enjoyed my way down 5 flights of stairs and journey home~

Post-exam Period...What's Next?

I'm glad to say that my exams are over for now and I intend to take at least 3 months break and concentrate on my work. However...holidays started a little differently.

First, just a few days before my exams, I discovered an 'exchange student program' to Busan, South Korea. So I'm trying my luck. Therefore the first few days of holidays were spent fusing about the application, answering long questions and typing a 500 word statement. @@ Well, I hope it works. =x If I get through the interviews as well (that is if I'm shortlisted to get it), I'll be away from September to August next year. Yeah, it's a 1 year trip. It'll be nice. =) Now I just need to... *prays*

Second, I was suppose to start my full-time work with my boss....but....he's on a holiday. = ='ll Grrr... Good also. I get to spend time doing other stuff. xp

Third, what else have I been doing really? Random stuff....accounts, house chores, going out..a lil..etc etc. Ugh..I probably should go catch a movie. Oh!! And it's HORRIBLY HOT!!! T.T I want air-cond. *wails*

Well...that's all for the current update. xp *lazy to type*

Post-exam + Early Christmas Party

Finally! I'm back and yes, I owe you readers and this blog an update since I'd been missing in action for quite a long time already.

Well, exams..don't really wanna talk about it actually. Some were manageable somewhat, some were difficult in their own unique ways, some were just difficult 'coz I was not well prepared. Sigh.. *prays hard* Well, I'll have to work really hard next year due to certain factors. So.. *prays even harder* T.T uuuu...

Holidays started with.. *think think* I don't remember.. @@ Well, I know I tried playing some PS2 (yeah, it's horribly dusty x.x) but I kept dying in every game. So sad... = ='ll Then the next day...was somewhat a productive day although Kendo was hell. T.T Now I'm all achy.. I even had to wake early today (most likely slept three hours only) to send my mom off to KLIA. x.x She's in India for holiday. ^^ Mom, enjoy yourself ya! =3

Just few hours back I attended my boss's (Mr Chang, although I prefer to call him boss. xp) very early Christmas party. I was a 'lil reluctant to go actually since I still lack sleep and don't really wanna go anywhere but I went after all and it was a good choice. =) I was the third, I think, to arrive although I thought I was late already. ^^'ll Felt a 'lil ackward since 'ice-breaking' ceremony had yet to come. While waiting, I became my boss's temporary doorkeeper. Buka door when orang datang. = ='ll Need to charge him liao.. *evil laugh* Kidding. =p

When all arrived, the dinner menu was announced to be....Popiah!! And only popiah. Hahahahah!! The special thing is...we have to wrap the popiahs ourselves. That was challenging. @@ The whole objective was for us to practise wrapping those popiahs so we can make a so-called decent one for the competition. Yup, we're playing with our food. xD xD The popiah contest was split to two categories. One being the BIGGEST popiah and another being the most creative popiah to resemble a Christmas tree. x.x I entered into the creative one of course after having the experience of an over-loaded trial popiah. Hahahah. Me greedy. =p

I tried to make a standing Christmas tree popiah. It looked more like a 'jung' (Chinese dumpling) instead. = ='ll So I wrapped around it with lettuce to make it look green and added chilli drops for 'ornaments' (Note: I had to eat my own creation later. @@). I also added small pieces of papaya as the 'presents'. First time in my life I had papaya... = ='ll Then again, I believe as I grew up, I often ignored the taste of many things. Just chew chew chew, swallow. ^^'

Anyway, the conclusion of the contests. For the BIGGEST, there were only two participants. xD xD So the guy won although the girl's was neater. The creative, some guy named Handsome. Yup..it's for real. = ='ll And I thought he was joking at first. Bet he must be very perasan. *shrugs* The prizes were cash prizes. >.<>

There were also presents for everyone. =3 I got the 'biggest' and it was a decorative Christmas tree. ^^' Then there's carolling. The carol song list...40 songs?!! Crazy!! Of course we only sang 4. *phew, wipes sweat* Oddly I was rather nervous there. Most likely 'coz I didn't know few of the songs and wasn't really sure about my voice. >.<>

Everyone was chatting after all the excitement. That was when the house was really noisy. @@ But not as noisy just yet...some of us made it worse, mainly my boss's daughter, me and another two ladies. =p We were playing 'Split' with Uno cards. xD Got so excited and fun that we made so much noise on our own by laughing sampai my boss's wife came out jawdropping. xD xD Had to force ourselves to stop the game. Hahahahah!! And we left the house saying that we have to practise more at home in preparation for next year's party. xD xD Geng!!

Oh!! Before I forget, we had DELICIOUS desert. ^^ Someone in the group made caramel...something...cake. xD Topped with chocolate. Mmmm~~ It was truly sinful. xD My boss's wife even gave me some to take home although those weren't with the chocolate topping. It was still as good! *daydreaming look* Hahahaha.

Well, that's all for today and it's late. Need sleep... *crawls to bed* x.x

Random stuff + Quiz: What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Erm erm...I'm gonna be random. Ngehehehehe. >)

1. I drove my boss's manual car on Wednesday to D'sara Utama and back to office. The car died 5 times. =x Oops.. But but...ok what! Long time never drive manual already mah. >.< =p

3. On the way back, I saw FIREMEN playing badminton at FIRE STATION!! So cool~~ x3 But if got emergency they have to take off the badminton net quick lor. xD

4. My mom got a lighter that looks like a mini fire extinguisher. Such irony. =x

5. Today's internal exam...I cheated. But my teacher also made us cheat! =O She told us exactly which question is coming out! Although we didn't do it in class, I got the answer from ACCA's website itself. =x Erm erm..but I didn't read the answer properly 'coz lazy. So doesn't count wholly right? =p

6. I did an illegal turning today. Results: A motorcycle hit my car. >.< (I bet they were cursing me. >.<) But but...the jam was terrible.. T.T If I didn't do that turning, I'll be stuck there forever!! Uuuu... Sorry..

7. I stole quiz again! This time from Yin Khuan. =p Results are as follows: (Kitsune, I have almost all the paragraphs in your result except for two. But my results are longer...maybe because I used my full name. =x xp)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice.

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily. You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind. A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable.

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want.

You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable.

You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life. You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip. People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them.

You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.

You are influential and persuasive. You tend to have a lot of power over people. Generally, you use your powers for good. You excel at solving other people's problems. Occasionally, you do get a little selfish and persuade people to do things that are only in your interest.

You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way. And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life. You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Eh...I think this quiz ain't so accurate. =x But you can still try for fun. =p

Average Day, But DEFINITELY Most Enjoyable. ^^

Hello! Haha. I know I know.. I bet many of you were wondering if this blog would end up like the last, NO UPDATES. Well...not too worry. I finally got the mood. *grins* But I don't have a fixed topic today. So...I'll go with what seems to be the most interesting thing I did today.

I got up early this morning enthusiatically although I know fully well that I have no classes to attend. Went to Kar Yee's house, dropped my car (as in leaving, not literally dropping @@"), and together we went to university in her car. There, I guai guai studied in the library. *nod nod, pats self* Even though I didn't finish a chapter or anything but it was productive! I'm so proud of myself. *tears of joy, cough* =p

Hm..today, I learned that Kar Yee makes friends easily. *nod nod* Her stories and 'hi bye's to people along the corridor confirms it. xD She has rather interesting friends too. ;p But they are friendly and nice people. *nod nod* =3 That makes me think abit...I hear from many people that their most enjoyable days are during college or university where they have tons of fun. I guess it just doesn't apply to ACCA students. HAHAHAHA!! xD

After her class, we went back to her place and I set off with my car to the Curve. Was already late for an appointment. >.< But tea time was magnifico. Me, my mom and a friend had LOTSA tea in Winter Warmers. The atmosphere...you'll melt...no, it's not hot. It just portrays a perfect English cottage environment. Comfortable, relaxing...it's like...all my worries were taken away the moment I stepped into this wonderful place. There's another outlet in Sunway Pyramid too. Maybe I'll go check it out. ;p

Ah~~ *goes to bed dreaming of nice tea and pastries*
