Min heon called up yesterday, rambling about his media studies project- "CITY",about his "lack of inspiration" issue.
"What you gonna do then?"i'm curious

" sit and listen to music...you cant force inspiration!"

"........"*sigh*

which leads us to our outings today. Quest to look for inspiration.

Since I'm going to ATC, I suggested we go petaling street,I mean, hectic city, big crowd,bingo! You'll get everything you want for city.

I walked him to petaling street, he, armed with SLR, started to snap photos around.

1 hour later, we met up. Bad news, he didnt get what he want.

"I'm looking for something...more relaxed" ( he isnt good in his eng)

ok.. so next destination- Curve's bazaar.

He continued his routine, I shopped around.

While we're having ice-cream( I made him to treat me), I glanced through his masterpiece.

"which shot you going to picK?" I asked.

"well, this would be perfect" he proudly claimed.

" City"

I was thinking, why u need to go through the hustle if u gonna take pictures of sky! He argued soemhting about asthetic values, art of photography - see the world from different angle.....

Lets see what his lecturer gonna say!

On the way back, there was this F7ISLANd signing session. Min heon is a Korean, I suppose he'll know about these K-pop stuff."try to mimic Dong Ban Shin Ki, F4 is better than them" he sneered.

This coming out from a Korean, I'm impressed.

13-March 08-Italiano arte

Holiday project- Spaghetti ala Carbonara
Aim: To guide my sis in cooking an (edible) Italian styled Spaghetti
Purpose: educate her on the proper Italian food (not malaysia fusion Italian)

Problem: Highly adamant sister detest certain amount of cheese
Refuse to take my advice
keenness to follow the cook book
Mom strongly disagree my resolution to use white wine,instead, ask me to use
chinese rice wine, which will ruin the authencity of the dish.(imagine
if ur put red dates in mushroom soup!)

Resultdue to my mom insisted to use rice wine in it,I just could get use to the fusion taste.
Thus, I wash it down with Mojito(haha,i wanna practise too), new cocktail I learned from my clollegues,

Mojito Ingredients

• Ice cubes
• 3 parts of white rums
  
• 1 dash Angostura
• 1 part sugar syrup
• 3 parts soda water
• ½ lime juice
• 4 mint leaves

Its a dummy-proof cocktail, but taste good!

11 March 08-resuLT

it is just a paper..........
it is just a bloody cert.........
it is just a paper..........

so i told myself.

I spoke to chia hooi yesterday night, that girl is going to grab her freedom, by going to USM,UNIMAS,UUM. Never thought she's determine in her decision.

My parents didnt really show any extreme emotional when I get my result.I was worrried they will give me "I told you so" lecture, remembering how I fought to do part time in recording studio last year.

My dad grunted that I have high expectations, the truth is, i really hope( desperately) i could get a lil better result.

Now I cant even guarentee myself to law courses in public uni.
Dont even know whether I will suit to do law.

Result day.
I wanted to settle my IC at Puchong Utama 7.
730 am- Reach Puchong Utama 9
830- (after asked 3 people) REached Han MIng school, wander around BAtu 14
930- (after asked another 2 person)FINALLY reached pu7, muttered curse under my breath when i realise its I"d been passed it several time.

Puchong can be a maze sometimes!

then neway.
I miss the looks of lin and those bunch of guys singing "chao ji xing guang bang" song. So tenderEXPRESSIVE and moving.
I miss those the galaxy-after-school-meet-at-230 days.
I miss ET never-ending-infinitive-jay-chou-marathon-song.

By the way, if you dont like to go sing-k, fine, go movie of something. BUT, if your gf loves to sing k, and she hope(to a great extent) to go, why dont you accompany her? Theres not harm sitting there watch MTV, right?
no offense.

10 March 08 -talks

"haiyor, polictics is dirty..those who involve in it want to have privilege, that will they do all those show...you think they really wanna serve the country mer....?"

This the most common statement I'd heard from my peers, which I dont not agree.
The system can only be as corrupt as we allowed it to be. If we critise it,but act indifferently, we must as well become the corrupt one.

Anyway, my father and I went to a talk organised by Sin Chew Jit Poh, the five speakers

When we reached there, the hall is packed, thus they set up screen and audio system in another hall.Guess where we stood to listen

outside the hall (on the pavement)

who said chinese doesnt concern about out country political situation? Look at the crowd!

I was impressed by the ideas that are being discussed.

Q:What do you think about who will be voted as Menteri Besar for Perak state? Although DAP are the majority party, but they has agreed to choose a leader from PAS, will this threaten chinese status?

A: When we understand that the constitution has stated that a state with sultan will need to have a Malay as mentari besar, we'd decided to follow it. The important part is,our candidates must be competent and fair while carrying out his job. Nevertheless, the person will run the goverment administration without racial bias.
We not longer need a Malay to be menteri besar in order to ensure the welfare is taken care of. We want to ensure that our menteri besar will see to the need of every race, isnt it a better way?

it doesnt matter if it a black cat or white cat, as long the cat able to catch rodent.

Popular Book Sales@ Ikano Poetry by young local writer, love their simple yet beautiful words,



The Paddington House of Pancakes- I think i've been visiting it too often nowadays.


Afternoon-wedding at Assumption Church, PJ. I was confused throughout the ceremony, due to I never been to a Catholic wedding. Somehow they offered bread,water while they read out conversation of Jesus and his disciples( from the scene the last dinner?)

Night- exciting drama unfolded.

" You can fool some of the people all the time, all the people some of the time,but you can never fool all the people all of the time." Abraham Lincoln

Malaysia has spoken as one united voice.

"We want transparency, acountability and fair judiciary!'

The wind of change has hitted BN hard, showing them they can not longer rest on their laurels. Malaysians has proven that we are prepared to change, and we willing to involve in buiding a better Malaysia.

A country that allows different political affliation, respects different faith and belief, as well as see to the need of all races.

We no longer need racials politics and racial parties which divides use, we need a party that promise us good governance , without corruption.

We are new in democracy, but we will fight for it. We have changed.

I'm proud to be a Malaysian.

Undilah UNDI!

VOTE FOR MALAYSIA. VOTE FOR BN

Are you kidding me.. malaysia=BN????
this is adsurb.

Politics is derive from latin, poli-a lot, tics-leech, which mean politicians is a bunch of bloodsucker!

ok, maybe not all. The representitive in my area(Puchong-subang) DrKoh, he's a dedicated and resourceful. (In fact, I went to help out his election team) Unlike other boastful ,rich candidate who spend all their effort on nice photos on banner.

After 50 years of independant, i believe that we're mature enough to examine the fundamentals of our constitution and separation of power, instead of voting according to race.

The reason of our country "rapid" development is, partially, due to our goverment abdication to compete globally. Sometimes, its just about wrong decision made by wrong person.

Old practise, corrupt judiciary, economical disparity- all of these must be charge and this could only be done if the oppositon got more than one third!

To Chinese voters:

- You have chosen a monster-like UMNO in 1999 who bit back on you immediately after election. Don't repeat the same mistake in 2008.

- Don't be ill-treated and threaten continually by UMNO extremists for another 50 years.

- Don't be afraid of PAS Islamic state since UMNO's Islamic state is already proven more corrupted and unfair to non-Muslims.

- BN government is insulting non-bumi intelligence by distributing "petty goodies" before general election.

- If you vote BN, please don't complain on NEP, overcrowd Chinese school, body snatched away, rampant crime and corruption, etc.

from malaysiatoday.com

my favourite line is...

To Indian:

- Since you have eaten chilli from BN for last 50 years, you shall know how spicy it was.

STPM

STPM IS COMING OUT ON 11MARCH 2008

I feel sick once I receive this info.

The struggle, sleepless night, tons of anxiety.... Seems like its just happened yesterday.

Nights when I was surrounded by silence, sitting seamlessly still, making desperate attempt to finish all the revision book laid on my desk.

Times when I heard voices- not from higher spirit but speaking from myself. The booming voice said : KEEP GOING... YOU'RE MICHELLE..YOU CAN FINISH IT!!

I;ve always believed with hard work, I can get anything I wanted....until I finished my acc paper and realise how I messed it up, throughly.

Now, other voice, full of affection and warmth is whispering to me " its not the end of the day..its just a paper"

I hope that I'll believe it,through the riotous and endless waves of anguish.

29 FEB 08

I did a personality test at facebook once- “what type of person you are”, and the result stated that I’m a world traveler. But in real life, I’m not a skillful traveler, in fact, I’ve always wonder what will happen if I managed to make it to the”world” level.

A natural traveler are those physically sturdy they could eat drink snake liquor ( read kennysia)without throwing up, pick up language in a short period, read map and navigate like ants through those ever sprawling road, and able to blend in like a chameleon-with the right height and complexion.

I don’t have all these qualities. My digestive systems failed me when I travel, (who else on earth got diarrhea eating canned food) , given the fact that I’m helpless food-lover, I cant resist to try EVERYTHING while I travel, and the drama begin in the toilet. I’m determined, sadly incompetent, in learning new language. Hence I hold on to “courtesy and smile are universal language” theory.

Besides , my shaky sense of direction means I can drive or walk for hour holding guide book and map with the vaguest idea where I am.

Despite all these, I’m devoted in traveling. I figure this out while I was in form 4 and I went to port Dickson with my money I saved for months. The scenery isn’t that pretty, furthermore , PD isn’t renowned by its clean ,idyllic coastline; but I remembered the feeling of walking endlessly and aimlessly, have spontaneous conversations with mak cik , and come across random surprises at every corner.

I feel about travel just like every mother feel about their impossible child, not matter what their child puts them through, they will adore their child, because its their child. I don’t care what I need to do to go on a voyage, in the very end, its mine.

My dear friend...i'm going to melaka tomo!

26 feb 08 KL

Met up with cathy for brunch, havent see her since last oct. We decided spontaneously to go KL, as I need to go ampang. Guided by my "Complete Map of Klang Valley" and cathy *cough* natural instinct, we headed to KL.

We had a heated discussion on which route to use, I followed cathy direction and guessed what, we ended heading to Gombak! She was petrified when she saw roadsign GENTING. We made a long U-turn all the way back to city center. After one and a half hour, we managed to get to mrr2 and reached ampang.

After i told her about Alexis bar famous tiramisu, she kinda talked me over(ok, i want to eat too) to stop by Great Eastern mall and indulged in tiramisu,choco cake and mocktail.

Alexis is very consistent in their food and take pride in providing the best gourmet experience. Well, despite what my other friend said, i still feel that there are liqour in it. How could they possible create the unique mild, sweet-smelling cream without rums?

Cathy had an idea for our next outing, it will be petaling street, hmm...........I'll think about it.
