Wow, I'm kinda impressed with myself how I can easily forgot to update my blog.
*okla, maybe not EXACTLY forgot, but somewhere there...*

# 1 - what happened?
I've been traveling back and forth from Labuan-KK this past few weeks.
Purpose? Just Cuti-Cuti-KK and also went for an interview.
The 2 hours drive feels like, it was no longer a big deal to sit in a car and listen to the same songs in my playlist. I somehow got used to it and I especially enjoy the speed boat ride! HAHA.
One of my teramat naughty cousin sleeping during one of the trip back to kk
*notice the keropok, she was holding on to it even when she's sound asleep. Oh, she's a liverpool fan, well, the dad made her to be. pfft.*

Then, went out with friends, nothing much, just the normal catching up and kepoh session.
and of course that also means it involves our fav restroom in Labuan. hehe.

hmm, other than that, my life was pre-occupied with house chores - something that I seriously dont enjoy doing,fyi.

# 2 - The 'lucky' employer
For those who've been wondering whether I'm still unemployed,
well, I'm unofficially employed now.
Details
Who: Promenade Hotel.
Where: KK
When: Starting on 23rd Sept.
What: As coordinator for Events & Catering under Sales & Marketing dept.
*trust me, I'm not sure myself what coordinator do exactly*
Why: What why? to get a job la~
Who: Who? Me?
How: What how? No idea how to answer this.
Bonus Question that I wont answer: The pay - all I can say is, I can only survive, can't live.

# 3 - what's next?
Well, I'm really looking forward to this next phase of life. Another roller coaster ride for sure. Been making quite a number of BIG decisions lately that pretty much is life changing.
I guess that's the sign I'm growing older?
I'm leaving to KK this thurs and gonna start working immediately after Raya.
Honestly, I feel reluctant to leave... for some reasons.
But, decisions have been made, I have to move on with life.
Nevertheless, I'm pretty excited and anticipating what's gonna happen next.
So, please do always keep me in prayers, aight? =)

# 4 - current thoughts
~how to update or whether to even bother updating this blog considering I wont have internet connection at the place I'm staying in KK.
~if it's possible that I wont be thrown any difficult questions and issues that requires me to make BIG decisions in my life.
~if things could for once go as I planned.
~why 90210 and GG's new season's episode contain more make-out scene?
not that I wanna complain, just wondering. hmm..
~when can I see my friends again... c'mon, someone please organize a reunion?

# 5 - I miss~
@ uni life
when I was in KK, with no internet connection and nothing else better to do, I browse thru the pics in my laptop.
20-30% of the folders are uni pics, and it was really a touching moment to reminisce those days...


^skipping classes - something I'm infamous of =P
^daydreaming in boring classes - do this 80% of the time
^complaining how I couldn't understand what the lecturer is crapping about
(okla, I admit sometimes caused by the daydreaming... haha.)
^secretly snapping my classmates' pic in class - until some are afraid to sit next to me, adui.
^have photoshoot session in campus - crazy times
^the busy days of council - i miss them, a lot.
^complaining about the food in campus and senadin - i miss enxin's chicken rice tho.
^ironically, I miss those last-minute assignment and studying for tests. HAHA!
^setting a goal every sem that I know for sure I wont be able to achieve - like, not to skip classes and finishing assignments earlier. =P
^always wanted to skip weekdays and looking forward to weekend even it's just Monday
^cuci mata in cafeteria - gosh, this one... let's not go there.

Goodness... I could just go on and on and on and on ...
and okay, let's stop here for now.

So, yeah. I seriously miss school.
Now, everyone just have new commitments and their own things to do.
I guess, it's really time for me to accept the fact that...
I, too...
should move on with life.
=)

I miss my room.
(the one back in Miri of course)

Although...
It's not big,
not VERY comfy,
no fancy stuff.

Only have one single bed,
one study table,
one chair,
one cupboard,
and 2 book shelves.
(
used to be only one but I bought another one from Val for RM10)

But...
this is the place where I used to spend most of my time,
where I do my series marathon,
where I rush my assignments from sunset to sunrise,
where my housemates come kepoh and do pillow talk,
where I spilled my coffee few times,
the room I least manage among the others in the house

(store not counted),
where I pamper myself,
where I eat my meals when I'm alone,
and most of all...
where I feel I'm most comfortable among any other places in Miri.

It's not that my room here is not comfortable
or not giving me the same feeling...
and,
It's not that I would trade the world to have that room back,
it's just that I miss
this place a lot...
My hiding place.

This is before and after I pack my stuffs...
(yes I know, not very neat)

Half-way thru packing my stuff...
*ok, don't faint*

This is how messy my table and walls are~
*i still keep those small notes and cards, love em'*

AND~~
Me CLEO collection! well, just part of it... =)

Hmm, I guess that's about it.

Till then,

Random & Irrelevant: Weather in Labuan is Super hot and oh, the haze is not making it any better. Pfft~


- m e r l y s s a -
Yea... That's what someone says, or should I say.... some people... *roll eyes*

Anyhoo-haa...~ I'm not gonna do that at the moment cuz frankly, there's nothing much to update except...

I'm bored,
I miss school,
I haven't unpack (yes, been back for few days now, but...
choi ah?),
I'm tired,
I'm craving for good food,
and... oh... did I mention,

I'm unofficially a graduate!!!

Don't be so happy just yet,
cuz that also means...

I'm officially unemployed now...
:(

I'll write something when I've got something to write aight~



*maybe i should do this, waddya think?*

Till then,

Random thought

Meet up with my 3 friends whom I know since my foundation year in Curtin
for a yam-cha session in Najwa.
*Eli, Alan, & Shariman... guess which one is the KL-ian*

We chat on things...
from foundation until our final year...
on lecturers to classmates...
about classes to clubs...
about how different we've been...
past and future...
things we've worried before & things we're worrying...
and...stuffs.

It has always been nice chatting with this bunch because they're always funny and the words/phrases that they use is always kua-zhang (exaggerate)...
I know I will definitely miss them, like... so much.

Read this...
(In Najwa)
*waitress come give menu*
*me and the other 2 guys just order drinks*

Eli: "you all dont wanna eat anything?'
Me, Alan, Man: "nola..."
Eli: *turn to the waitress* "err....nanti kalau saya lapar saya order..."

LOL. she said that in the most selamba way ever okay!

(In Car)
*Man and Eli were talking about a friend*
Eli: "where is he now ah?'
Man: "terkorban in misi already..."
Eli: *in SHOCK* "Har??? really?? how come?? why??"
*and all the WH-Questions continuosly repeated while Man was laughing so hard while driving*
Man: "nola...what I meant was, he flunk his subjects and left Miri already"
Eli: "OHHHHHHH...Cheh! Scare me! I thought you say he terkorban in misi what....I thought like misi in Iraq or war at somewhere... read too much International news ba recently..."
*Me and Alan laugh like crazy at the passenger seat behind*

Sigh...Eli, you never fail to crack me up la... Thanks! hehe...

Anyways...
I think I'd definitely miss my Uni-life...
not exactly the Uni itself,
but...
the bond,
the friends,
the memory,
the crazy things I did,
the stupid things I said,
and...
the moment(s).

There's gonna be more yam-cha session to come
and I'm gonna treasure my time spent with them...

Till then,

Officially done with exams.
*hopefully*

Worried with 2 papers and the other 2, should be fine~

Lots of outings after this, and it's gonna be my last few days in Miri till I come again for visit(s).

But for now, I'm still alive even after the i-don-consider-very-stress study week.
*well, just chose not to be stressed, or more accurately I was more occupied with THIS*

*Loving it.*

But oh well, exams is over... Time to pack my things and leave, not sure what to pack, what's even worst, I don't know where to start! =P

We'll worry about that later...for now, it's time to.....
PARTAAAAYYYYY~~~~~~~~~ =D

Again... Not that it matters... :P

Anyways... My study week was rather... less productive than my other peers... When I'm supposed to be pulling my hairs and stressing over my revision week, I was out yamcha-ing and meeting up with friends... =P *oh, but no, not cuz I'm all well-prepared for my finals, not at all!* So, since I got back from Bintulu on Tuesday, my productive days (sound so wrong, but yea) are only till friday afternoon, then my yamcha session starts.

I was out on Friday night with Ambrose & Grace the newly weds, together with (Dr.) George also Alvin & Adeline the ever-loving couple. We were chitchating in Starbucks about George and Ambrose's 'those-were-the-days-moment' and it was really funny! I really would love to share their story, but I think it is inappropriate. *make the angel look*

Then on Saturday went out with Michael, another friend we met at Ambrose's wedding who came down from Brunei for his 'monthly-only-offday' *yes, only 1 offday/month, no weekends too!*. So we went to BigApple, first time for me in Miri, and look what's on their menu!

*I think this is made for me.... No? =p*

At night, another friend whom we met also at Ambrose's wedding, Lemon, take us out to dinner at "shi li xiang" for Bak-Kut-Teh... It's like a gathering cum makan-makan session weekend you know! And all of them so generous to 'qing-ke'.... THANKS!

So, that's it for my current update just in case you thought I already die from pulling out all my hairs during my revision week. LOL.

*All the best Curtin-ians! Let's go out partying after exam! WUHHOOO*

Till then,

Harrrooooooo!!! (Hamtaro 2009) *it's Hello in Barbie Language*

I just got back from Bintulu, and this post is just to let u know I'm back safely :)

The trip was AWESOME! Had so much fun and made new friends! Will blog about the wedding during my revising break-time (ya,right.)!

Anyways, while on the bus back from Bintulu, I tried to take my nap but failed. So, while listening to some emo and sentimental songs on my iPod shuffle, I wrote Something... Not dedicated to anyone la... just these words came into my mind then I started typing on my phone while my 3 friends doze into their lala-land~

* please dont laugh... this is my first time to write this...*

To hold your hands is what I've longed for,
To see you is what I've been anticipating,
To love you is all I want to do,
To miss you is what I'd do every moment possible,
To think of you is never an exception.

I'd brush your hair like a baby when you lie on my lap,
I'd pray with you when you're at time of difficulties,
I'd stare you to sleep whenever you fall asleep beside me,
I'd hug you even when you don't need one,
I'd tell you lame jokes just so you could make fun of me,
I'd hold my pee if I have to just so you could tell me how your day went,
and tell me funny stories or even the unhappy ones,
I'd take us to our favourite restaurant to celebrate your achievement, or even for the fun of it,
I'd cook for you even if my cooking sucks.

Every sunset I'll pray that your worries will go away,
and when the sunrise comes,
your day will be brighter as if the sun gets bigger.

I would... as long as you'll be there.
And the rest,
is irrelevant.



Corny... No? HAHAHAHAHHAHA~ I think the inspiration came from the wedding I attended. The couple is so loving... and I'm really REALLY happy for them till I think I cry 1st before the bride's mom. wth? HAHAHAH~
