i don't know what has gotten into me.... not just recently.... not just these few months... it's been like this ever since..... since.... damn, i even lost track of it.

i'm doing more than just delaying my work and the things i should do. i spend my days sleeping, surfing aimlessly on the net, watching chinese series, loitering around air-conditioned places... especially malls. i haven't learnt anything.... i haven't done anything i considered big in this past year.... i haven't even pooped today....

wondering aimlessly, feeling helpless... what am i to do ???

hopefully things change soon...

well, in the mean time, i've been put in charge of the decorations of the welcome freshmen concert in UTAR next semester.... any suggestions of themes? themes for a concert that will be held in the canteen to welcome freshmen to the uni... in the afternoon... (*rolls eyes smacks head*)

and while you guys think of that for me... do comment on the logo below that i made for the anti-smoking campaign for my campus.... thanks... =)

oh the link is there just for fun.... leads back to my blogspot... hahahaha....  might be making button badges out of it... so... comments ??

on a happier context... i'll be flying off on holiday soon.... and when i come back... will be off again for a camporee... hehehehe..... more updates to come soon.... wheee...

Lasallians Action Plan - Malaysia Day 2008

this lil excerpt is from a fellow xaverian who's a senior of mine.... vincent... :)



Dear Lasallians, (and all Anak Malaysia)

This year we celebrated 51 years of independence. This will be followed by 45 years of integration, of Malaysia, to be commemorated tomorrow. But have we much cause to celebrate?

Truth be told, we are living in somewhat dark circumstances. Recent happenings in our country have brought about a great deal of tension and discord among her people. We are all responsible for our current state, in one way or another. We seem to be in an age where intolerance, injustice and strife are the order of the day.

As Lasallians, we always emphasise the need for solidarity with the last, the lost and the least. We mark it with symbolic actions during the national convention and with prayers during the day for prayers of peace, but what of now. And so it comes to mind that solidarity is what we need, this Malaysia Day. Solidarity as a sign of indivisibility and strength in unity.

So dear Lasallians, wherever you are; and even non-Lasallians (should you be reading this),

If you see nothing, feel nothing of this, then let this day pass like any other.
But if you see as I see, feel as I feel, and seek as I seek, then let us be our best, on this day when our nation was formed.
Let us mark this day by remembering that we are all brothers and sisters under our nation’s flag.
Let this day be remembered for our unity and solidarity with one another, more than everything else.
Let us, on this September 16, celebrate our similarities AND diversity.

This is the invitation to you. If you see yourself as BANGSA MALAYSIA, in the best sense of the word, then draw the Jalur Gemilang on the back of your non-writing hand (unless you possess the convenience of an accomplice). Include a personal statement. You may draw it, sketch it, colour it, paint it etc. That is up to you. No dimensions, no strict guidelines. We’re all different anyway. Just make sure it’s recognisable.

And as we walk out of our rooms, homes, cells, corners on this day, together let us carry the flag of our nation with pride in our hearts, minds and on our hands.

Vincent

P/S – To further mark this occasion, snap a photograph of yourself, with your Jalur Gemilang and make it your Profile Picture on Facebook, Windows Live, Friendster etc





anyway.... Happy Malaysia Day to all....

i just can't smile without you

you came along just like a song,
and brighten my day,
who would have believed that
you were part of a dream,
now it all seems light years away.....

and now you know i can't smile without you......



hooked on to this song after watching Hellboy 2 : The Golden Army.... lalallalala....


it's the middle of the semester.... where assignments start pouring in and there are shit loads of mid-term tests and "quizes" poping up every week till week 13..... arghhhh..... and there's still the experiment reports to do.... and it's the due date for all our assignments....

this is why i hate the middle of my semesters....



so time to update about my situation after the long silence.... in no particular order...

• am still staying in vista wira, studying in utar [sad right ???]
• got myself into a traffic collision and have 8 stiches on me
• got elected as secretary of chemistry society
• subsequently elected as the committee member in charge of editorial in the SRC of my campus
• still procastinating
• and i'm feeling lonely...
• not to mention also that there was this guai lou who got robbed by buggers who slashed him in the head with a parang near the LRT.... and it was just around 9.30 pm...... not even late at night.... so take care ya guys....
• anyone wanna go yum cha ??

btw... i plan to do a social awareness week campaign.... trying to raise awareness in my campus about the social problems in society today..... so you have any affiliations who are willing to help out by setting a booth for a day or two... or you have any interesting ideas on what i can do for the event.... do tell me... =)


yeah.... that's about it..... gotta go do my work dee.... spectroscopy...

Plasma Emission, Mössbauer spectroscopy, Glow discharge-optical emission spectrometry, Microwave-induced plasma, fluorescence resonance energy transfer....





you know i can't smile without you,
i can't smile without you,
i can't laugh and i can't sing,
i'm finding it hard to do anything....

when dim sum makes more sense than attending morning lectures

well.... as you guys saw the previous two entries.... yeah... it's actually entries from a blog i just set up on blogspot with another 2 guys from uni...

got bored during exam week and halfway through preparing for our 1st paper.... so we decided to start the Dim Sum vs. Morning Lectures blog... and i just realised that what ever i posted on the blog, was cross-posted on to multiply.... not only my entries... my other contributor's entries too....

hahahaha... trying to fix the problem and see if this entry is posted on to the blog on blogspot or not.... lalalalala.....

anyway.... a brief explaination about the blog, by my fellow fren Tong,

"Obviously from the title of the blog, we do enjoy having dim sum in the morning instead of morning lectures in our 'beloved' campus. Haha. We are all UTARian, pursuing the course of our own. Well at this time we are having our finals going on for the next weeks ahead, and as you can see, we are blogging. ehmmm.... sorry having dim sum than having lectures. XD

Anyway, this point of the of this blogspot, you shall enter the world of us in campus life and thoughts in various points. So just, get your pop corn, eh eh...sorry, your dim sums', your cup of 'yin yong', sit back, and enjoy the show. ^^v"

seriously.... uni life is getting more and more dull and boring as the day passes by.... it's draining all my energy and enthusiasm.... i'd rather skip morning lectures so that i can do something else in the morning..... if i go to class... it's either i sleep or chit chat with ppl, [i've become more and more bitchy ever since uni]... not a good thing....

well... meeting these ppl in my faculty was like a fresh breath of air in the dull environment of UTAR.... well atleast for my faculty here.... keeps my sanity intact...



oh and i just realised something.... penang is famous for it's char koay teow, laksa, hokkien mee, etc etc.... ipoh is famous for it's nga choy kai, kai see hor fun etc etc..... but what is KL famous for ???

it's NASI LEMAK ~!!! yesh... it took me that long to realise this.... cause only for the past few nights i've been travelling around KL [when i should be studying] sampling really good nasi lemaks... i think i might just blog about it.... wheee ~!!! hahahahha... more nasi lemaks.... makes me fat fat.... lalalalala....

trying to be profound....

yesterday is but a dream
and tomorrow is a vision....
but today well-lived,
makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
and every tomorrow a vision of hope....



am laden with assignment deadlines and mid term tests.... it's week 10 already and less than 5 weeks to my finals.... and i haven't started studying...



oh the pressure... oh the lazy~ness.... aihz... i think it's some what propotional to me.... the more pressure i get, the lazier i feel.... WHY LAH WHY ~!!!???!!!!




LPPL.... love peace, peace love yaw....\m/

injustice

though it's in a mess.. but still, it's great to be home.... you know why ?? cause i've got internet access at home... muahahahaha !!!



well, i came across this site just now.... it says that it isn't difficult at all for the family of Lee Nian Ning to establish legal liability in a civil suit against the driver of the ill-fated bus for negligence in controlling the bus.....



but... unfortunately.. the parents are likely to only be entitled to compensation for funeral expenses and any other reasonable expenses arising out of the accident (cost of police reports, RIMV search, etc)..... in brief, the parents (who would be the lawful claimants based on the facts of her case) would not be entitled to any other claim apart from that which has been pointed out.....



on the quasi-criminal law side...... the Attorney General’s Chambers may prefer to charge the bus driver for causing death by reckless or dangerous driving...... under Section 41 of the Road Transport Act 1987..... which upon conviction shall liable to a fine not exceeding ten thousand ringgit or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years or to both.... but.... again the 'but'.... the discretion to charge and if so, under which section of the Road Transport Act 1987 lies solely with the Attorney General.....



injustice...... there is a compensation claim for loss of dependency [which is quite unjust too]... but she was still studying.... no dependency on her... thus no claims can be made... but she had a bright future and all that..... gone... perished.... just like that.... can justice be done ???



LPPL... love peace, peace love....

Nian Ning's memorial

you can oso show your support alternatively by signing the online petition here. hopefully something can be done....

lost for words...

Lee Nian Ning (1987-2008)

i just left her house where the wake was held... knowing the family quite well and seeing them sad makes me very uneasy.... her mother, who was my chemistry teacher for my 2 years in six form, was like a second mother to me.... seeing her today, deprived of sleep since the incident, speaking with a very sad tone in her voice, it made my heart very heavy....

i was there with kenneth, jin sern and guo qiang..... met alot of friends too... even mangelene... sorry i didnt see you... really wanz.... sorry....

well.... looking at nian ning's portrait while paying my respects to her flashed back many memories.... of the camps we''ve been together, of the times i spent at her house with friends just chit chatting till the middle of the night when her mum would come down and "halau" us out.... and the last time i saw her was at tesco in penang last weekend.... i regretted not calling her.....

btw, just to inform... if anyone wishes to pay your final respects, gimme a call and i'll give you the directions to the house... but pls do so b4 2pm.... i won't be around to 'send her on her last journey'.... =(



so much to talk about.... but..... dunno lah.... dunno what to say....



lost....




wish things like this wouldnt happen....






requiescat in pace, nianz...

what i intended to blog about

i was online last night at a cc in genting klang... forgot wat name it was, i think it was vnet or something like that... wanting to post up an update here.... then messages poped up in my friendster.... the messages were good... but the content wasn't and pleasing.... childish....

well, i dun wanna get all fussed up about that now... so on with my entry...

i just moved into yung shen's old flat in wangsa maju... vista wira2... and rented the smallest room at a relatively expensive price... the price to pay for being to lazy to continue searching around for a room to rent around desa setapak...

there isn't any internet connection neither is there a telephone line.... my other housemates don't want to get an internet connection before CNY as none of us will be home for a week or so and the rental will go to waste worh..... came saturday, i went to tm point to register for a telephone line... I NEED AN INTERNET CONNECTION.... dial-up is better than none... but i have to wait for two weeks or so before they come and install a telephone line for me... aihz.... sad....

and the night before that, i was in PJ.... didnt take the LRT... didnt take a taxi.... just two wheels.... my MOTORCYCLE.... hahahaha..... took me about half an hour just to get there from my place... and it was freaking cold.... should have worn my jacket...

well, once i reached my friend's place, they picked me up and we were off to william's.... where i met yung shen and jin and dwane and another guy i dunno who.... hahahaa..... such coincidence.... small world? yeah.... gotta agree with yung shen about eating at william's is like "having a meal at Chili's - at the roadside"... black pepper chicken pasta... sedap wuih.... and a honeydew blended... and a teh 'o' ais.... costed me rm22.... one of my most expensive trips to a mamak stall to makan.... and there isnt a proper menu.... neither a proper introduction of the food they serve there..... when asked, "ada apa makan ?" i was replied, "nak pasta, goreng atau roti?".... when i said pasta, he asked "nak ayam, daging, seafood atau itik pun ada.... try seafood, seafood bes mia"..... i decided for ayam and that was my order.... all i knew at that point was i was goanna have pasta... dunno which type... with chicken.... datz all.... swt... lalalalala....

soon after a lil chit chat, we left for dunno where to play basketball in the middle of the night till bout 4 something and i left for home at 5..... and the journey was colder than ever... gosh.... i find myself queer at times... hahahaha...

oh and i just emailed friendster... hopefully they'll fulfil my request so that i can file in a suit for defamation, libel and threatening..... lalalalala....

btw jean, tml night dinner right ??? i got tuition class from 7-10.... sorry for telling you last minute..... paiseh paiseh....

hungwee.... i think i'll grab a burger outside of orange before i leave... hmmm..... daging double... whee...~! RAMLI !!!
