25-12-2009, Christmas Day, which not so Christmas for me so far...

It is 3:26pm 25-12-2009 now.Except this is a public holiday, there is & was nothing I can feel about Christmas now & yesterday. Life just passed on, by a slightly pathetic way.

Maybe it is because I am going to make big changes in life by moving to another environment after 7 yrs in KL? Leaving ppls & habits that I familiar. It was not an easy decision. About 3 months since the decision was made, the sorrows & complex thoughts I had eventually left me merely emptiness & uncertainty. I am not sure what will happen next, I have no idea what to do now. I set up a long term, ambitious plan; because I dunno what I am living for.

Somehow life was not so pathetic for the past few months: I had few bunches of old friends that are still hanging around, 1st job with new colleagues that are nice, a new borned niece that is cute & lovely, family that are close as ever, submitted my not-so-scientific thesis, big vision to boost about, 1st clubbing experience... Life is great! ......Anyway I happen just not in the mood to really appreciate these beauties right now, that's all, bye =.=

AwoOOOoOo~~~

This is my 1st time to the Big Bad Wolf book warehouse sales. The warehouse sales is located @ Amcorp Mall. All the books range from RM3~20.

2nd day of the sales, a public holiday Friday, I was here with Ngeow & Ah Mar at 10am, and the queue was already long~~~ We were eyes-wide-opened because this was our 1st visit to the sales, with really low prices. Though we were not able to find much famous or latest books, we still spent around 70+~100+ individually for the books at around the noon.

2 days later, Ah Mar & Ah Yee asked me to go for the sales again. But this time wasn't so enjoyable, as the books were not much differed from what we saw previously & more messy.

And 2 days after that, I went there again after work... :P Surprisingly there wasn't much people there. The books were less, but were arranged neatly (as compared with 2 days ago). Realising it would be my last visit during this sales, I spent again on the books...

Though I am still not able to find my target books there, I'd spent RM141.00 on 16 books in this sales. Wonder when or whether I can finish these books...

This Is It

This Is It... Last glimpse we have on MJ. Unable to get someone really interested for the movie, I simply out of sudden went to IOI mall, got myself a popcorn, n caught d show by myself. Surprisingly, the cinema was only half full, and I got a seat K13, right at the middle of entire cinema by myself.

"This Is It" is about MJ's rehearsal & making of his "never-to-be" final concerts. The "movie" started with few minutes about MJ announcement for his concert "This Is It", recruiting for dancers, and then the scenes of MJ's on-stage rehearsal cut in without further craps. The legendary hits... the songs about humanity & earth... & even some songs that I can hardly name them out (Well I am not his superfans afterall), I almost wanted to close my eyes to enjoy the songs, yet I couldn't bear to leave out any scene of dances & effects on the screen. Nevertheless, classics scenes of Zombies & ghosts dancing in "Thriller", street fight scenes in "Beat It", touching videos in "Earth Song", & every single performance. And the dance moves, OMG, just couldn't believe that he was 50-yrs old. Too bad I just got myself a "s" popcorns, it ran out even before "Thriller" came in.

Throughout the rehearsal, MJ was really involved with every arrangements, musics, effects, timings... I seriously have to take my hat off for his dedication for performance. For his speeches for Earth, humanity & children, you may call them "just for publication", but they can be really touch. This is what he intended to say about environment problem somewhere near the end of concert (Well I can't memorize them completely, so I just kinda rephrase it):
"... People always say "The government will figure out what to do." "They will do something about it." But who are they? It's us. ..."

No scene to remind you "He passed away, so sad...", "He is not gonna be around anymore", or "He was most popular superstar at 80's & 90's" (Even among superstars, he was still the shiniest). This movie is merely a gentle goodbye we have from this MJ (Ok, maybe it is also a money making thing to clear his debt, but enjoying big screen that almost showed a concert with only a movie ticket cost, I think it's really worth it for MJ's fans :P)

By the time the shows ended & the words came out on dark background, I only realized that a lot of his hits (more than I expected) were written by himself. Finally when even the dark background part was ended, there were me, a few Chinese college students, 2 Indian guys, & a Malay uncle with his nieces & nephews still inside the cinema. I guess great musics, performances & artworks really linked different races together... :P

Lastly, after the show, I think MJ is not dead, he is always with all of us who got & who gets inspirations from his songs. And for me, I will go on with these inspirations for my dream.

Take A Look At Yourself, AndThen Make A Change ..."

Still going on...

It's been almost 1 month I commence my 1st job. Somehow I still think I cannot handle a lot of things. Some tasks that were taught I still forgot how to do. And some emails that I have no idea what was it about, yet I was in the mailing loop. I tried to pick up fast but most d time I missed out something when executing tasks alone. Maybe I am not half as good as I though I am. Somehow I am still trying... because I dun think I can conquer d world if I am being stopped at this level...

Anyway, so far the colleagues are nice. And almost entire Dept. knew that I'll be leaving. But it is not really an issue as everyone seems cool & sometimes still joking with it (even my senior). The only 2 things I'd like to complain now are 1st, the separated systems & databases used by diff. dept. are really confusing, & sometimes conflicting. 2nd, the coffee machine is only up n running @ bout 1030am every morning!!! >_< ......I sincerely hope the company will do something bout d 2nd issue soon. T___T

Moi Birthday

first of all: I hope I din spell the word "moi" wrongly in french (meaning "my"), Sophea?

OK, this is about my early bday celeb with you guys on last Sat @ Sakae Sushi, Sunway. So fast that I am already 26 & spent about 7 yrs at Selangor. And the peoples in the photos below, I had knew them for about 3 yrs, and had uncountable memories since then... The faces seem the same as the day I knew them, but so much had happened on each of us. From struggling together last time, till struggling individually now... (Still struggling, so pathetic =.=) But what I want to say is that, even the good n bad we had together do not return, I hope that we will all still have each other side by side (mentally gua) at now & future. Thanks & love you guys :)

@ Sakae Sunway

Are you ready yet, Sophea...?

This escalator in Sunway suddenly became our favourite shooting spot recently... :P
A nice finish~ Thanks & all the best~

A Wedding in Kuantan

I had just went to Yit Wei's wedding at Kuantan last weekend. During Sat morning, while waiting other frens to reach from Penang, I had terrible headache & running-ass... it was so terrible that for 0.5 moment that I was thinking not to go for d trip.... N luckily that was not my final decision n I attended d wedding :)

Instead of attending wedding, this was more like a grand reunion of the MMU gang @ Kuantan. This is d night b4 wedding, where we went for d open house at d bride house. Later that night we had a drink-out night at d rented house - a bottle of 40+% alcohol... mixed with Pepsi & Soda. Too bad we not able to get d bridegroom drunk.

Here comes d bridegroom & bride~~
Finally married~~~
All d best wishes for 2 of you, YW n BH... Hope you will be happily ever after :)

Tell me why~

Actuall what is a blog for? A diary to record what I had done? To share what I am thinking? To share what I am feeling? How do I do if I wanna speak out what I am thinking and feeling, direct and naked, let somebody knows what is in my mind; but at the mean time don't let "somebody" knows what is in my mind?

Maybe if I just ignore the "somebody" then I will not have this problem. IF ONLY I am able to ignore the "somebody"...... I wouldn't be having the troubles and writing this post at all... :(

Tell me why~~~ ......
