Lunch With Vogue

Went down for lunch with roomies.

*grabs a menu*

ordered the cheapest foodie on the menu ~ which is my usual.

*spotted an interesting mag on the shelves*

Oooo...Vogue!

*grabs mag*

Which issue is this??

La...February 2008...it's so last year.

Oh well...

*Flip flip flip*

Knight time??

Hmmm...

Okay. So this article entitled 'Knight Time' was obviously written by a guy whose name I forgot; it was Nick something. The article is about the 'Art Of Manliness'; which is chivalry. Chivalry is a system of behaviour which was first practised by knights during the medieval time. So Nick over here wrote this article based on his own experienced; about how to be a modern knight in today's world. Below is pretty much the summary of the article:-

Generally the first thing for a man to do is to be gracious and to respect a woman. Simple things like opening the door for a lady and letting them enter first, giving your umbrella/coat to a lady when it's raining if not offering her a ride back, helping a lady with the heavy package/luggage and the list goes on. Opening a door for a lady doesn't mean she's feeble. A solicitously hand proffered doesn't mean she's incapable. Those are several things that a man could do in order to be chivalrous to ANY kind of lady which doesn't bring any meaning of sexual interest what so ever because chivalry is also about knowing what's suitable.

However on the other hand, to really treat your SPECIAL lady; the guy will have to go a distance a little bit more.For example, holding her hands when crossing the streets, call her when you promised to do so, be generous with your compliments, buy her flowers on normal random days, or text her just to make her day. And since now it's the modern world, woman may want to split the cost of meals, showing that she is able to care for herself and that she's not looking for anything from you. She may want you to be equals and wants to make decisions together. As Nick has learnt it the hard way, woman of today would like her man to make decisions
with her and not for her.

According to Nick, the reason why in today's modern world there are fewer and fewer 'knights' out there is mainly because woman of today now demands for equality. However this doesn't mean that chivalry has to come to a total stop. Nick happily said that his act of being chivalrous to any lady has so far been accepted by the lady in a gracious manner. The only time he had it was when he wasn't chivalrous or sensitive enough! And to Nick; good manners reflect a person inner value, chivalry is no exception.

*end of article*

"What is this article doing in Vogue?? This article shouldn't be in Vogue! It should be on the pages of other magazines like FHM(For Him Magazine)."

*Sigh*

What a waste right?? This pages could have been filled with Burberry or Dolce & Gabbana.

YanMing ranting

Counting down. From months right to the last second.

I dread it.

I wish time would stop.

Every night, wishing tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow would never come.

******

Bro called.

Asked me some stuff.

Told him some stuff.

Advised me on some stuff.

Cried.

I don't know how bro did it.

I'm not your sister.

I'm a failure.

******

Above are some ranting. I have this 'vision', this 'image' deep in my mind. And it's all written somewhere in a list. The list are not in order. I'll probably re-write the list this time in a specific order. And probably paste it in front of my table. My parents would probably say I'm being a paranoid and a worrier. Bro would probably say a little of it is good but too much dosage would kill me or worst; go into depression. I got to admit I always think/worry way too much. So much so that it annoys others and myself. But I've always been this way,according to my mom. I guess I didn't grow out of it.

Do others have a list like mine??(rhetorical question)

******

Flies are just annoying aren't they?? Ah See needed some insecticide to kill it. Xin Wen just walked off. Flies are just everywhere. LOL.

If I need to write an essay about my summer holidays, this would be the outline

How 9 girls and a guy celebrated Lantern Festival.

It started to rain.So we girls,and Gan of course,all ended up in Jenn's place.But not for long.After the rain stopped,it was Lake Gardens!We looked high and low for the perfect spot to settle down and finally got a whole 'pondok' for ourselves.We lit candles all around the 'pondok', hung lanterns around to brighten up the place, and sung out loud in the middle of Lake Gardens.Then someone suggested to record a video of us singing to Jenn's guitar.For more info,the video is up on Facebook for all to view.




Siang malam was closed thanks to the rain,so we crashed into Tee Xin's place and watched a movie in her theatre room.By the time the movie ended,it was almost 2am.Then it's back to our own home from there.

Woke up early for badminton.Drove to Jenn's house to pick her up.By the time we got to Lee Ong Hoo,Tee Xin and her brother is already there.Badminton was really fun with Tee Xin's and Serena's friends.

3 hours after the game,Jenn and Tee Xin came over to my place all because Jenn left her purse and handphone in my dashboard.Talked a whole lot in my room.And the two also got a taste of the salad that I made for lunch.Then in the evening we got into Tee Xin's car,fetched Serena,and went to Pokok Assam for tea.I was craving for laksa the pass few days,so when I finally ate Pokok Assam laksa; I was so satisfied. :D

After filling our stomach,and after all the commotion about Jenn texting someone to get someone's number; we all came to realise that Jenn would do anything just to get someone's contact number.Also,don't ever leave your handphone lying around where Jenn could find.This is a reminder for everyone,especially Tee Xin.Come to think of it, I missed a chance of exploiting Jenn's handphone.Should have dig up some dirt from her handphone before returning it to her.:P

Next,it was waterfall at Taman Suria.Again,it was chit chatting in the middle of the river.Too bad this time there wasn't any signs of monkeys mating.Unlike previously at Burmese Pool.(I could sense SuiYing is laughing, and Ng is still fed up not being able to point out those monkeys to SuiYing).LOL.

Suddenly felt like baking.

Hmmm.

If Shea Yuin is around, I can crash into her house and we can bake!

Cupcakes again Ng?

Maybe.

Cookies would be nice.

Or maybe chocolate cake with chocolate fudge all over it!

Oh Ng!Next time we shall bake again at your place!

P/S: Ng, don't call for me using Shakespeare-style. I know your in desperate need for a hug if u do that.

It's the time of the year again!Bonanza!Only twice a year if I'm not mistaken.So it's eat until your stomach is all bloated. :D

Note the colour of the plate.

It was badminton again today.This time it was for two and a half hours straight!And oh my god.The muscles on both my calves ached so badly.Not to mention,the muscles were already in a strenuous state because I went hiking with my dad the day before.But still,it's satisfying to play badminton for such a long period.

Sigh.

Goodbye Taiping.

Hols^^

Wee...in 4 hours time I'll be on the bus back to Taiping for 2 weeks! I know. 2 weeks doesn't seem much. Because it isn't. I know that as soon as I set foot on Taiping soil, time is going to fly. And the next thing I know, I'll be back here in KL :( Time always does that to people who are having fun. Sadist!!

However, since my last paper; I've had my share of fun in KL as well. Went for lunch at Teppanyaki, sang a whole lot at Green Box, watched 'Orphan' with my roomies(ended up hugging my friend and my pillow) and dine at Gasoline on top of Look Out Point(a place where you can view the whole of KL city at night). It was great. :) I wanted to upload some photos here but I'm too lazy. To add more to the laziness, photos of the activities above are already uploaded onto FB by my friends. So yeah. Call me a lazy-bump.

And now,*excited grin* I'm going back to Taiping and have fun! I know there are going to be some happenings. I can just feel it. But *sigh* those Form 6 got to buck up on their studies now. :( So probably there will be less happening stuff going on. Anyways, going back to Taiping is already part of the FUN. Wee...

Alritey, so my blog will be on hiatus for two weeks. And then I'll update the happenings in Taiping.(specially for Jane, wish you are in Malaysia). I'll miss all my friends who won't be in Taiping. Suiying, wish you were here. A whole lot of thanks for the other day where you got all worried about me. Really appreciate it. ^^ Enjoy shopping at Low Yat. It's Technology Heaven inside there. ;) Just remember to bargain.

Happy Holidays

Happy Mooncake Festival
Happy Deepavali

P/S: Don't you think it's better to be a good-nobody than an evil-somebody?

I Foresee an Exodus

Tomorrow after my paper, I'll be contributing to an exodus. I'll be joining thousands of people on the road back for the Hari Raya. Looking out from my balcony now, I could see a jam on the MRR2 highway. I couldn't help but to think that tomorrow I'll be experiencing the same thing. I foresee a terrible traffic congestion and a really long journey back to Taiping. But at the same time I'm really eager to be going back.

Selamat Hari Raya everyone. Have a safe journey back home.

G.R.E.A.T

Wow...the last time I updated my blog was exactly one month ago. Been busy with test,test,test,assignments,reports and TEST. I was just complaining to my dear friend, suiying, that I'm going to run out of creative juice. Seriously. All I write about now in uni is very technical. Even for my English article review had to be about engineering related subjects. BORING. Hand me over a narrative essay and I'll go blank. This is how I know the level of my creative juice has fallen below the RED line.

To make matters 'better', today I stumbled upon Kenny Sia's blog. He is one of Malaysia's famous/renown blogger. And I read the following on his blog:

" I'm a graduate of Curtin University, where I hold a Bachelors degree in Physics and an Honours degree in Electronic & Communication Engineering. None of my two degrees have any relevance whatsoever to my field of work right now. I haven't yet found the need to use complex Calculus to solve a really bad business decision.

The moral of the story is: get a commerce degree instead. You'll live longer."

Okay. So I'm studying Electronic & Communication Engineering. Note the moral of the story : "get a commerce degree instead. You'll live longer." GREAT. I'm not only running out of creativity when it comes to writing. I'm also going to have a shorter life span!! Geez. Tell me if there's anything worst...I think I'll be able to handle it.

On another note, I'm really looking forward to go back to Taiping this weekend. I just want to get out of KL and have some fresh-photosynthesized air from the Lake Gardens. Not to mention, I'm also craving for home-cooked food! I'm so sick of outside food, instant noodles and bread. And my hair is falling off like the leaves of autumn thanks to stress and the instant noodles. It's thinning. :(

Lastly, I'm going to put my UEEA 1313 Basic Electronics notes/books under my pillow this few nights. Hoping it would miraculously be absorbed by my brain so that I can regurgitate it out when in need.

Apparently Yan...

Yan have been sharing her room with two roomies, namely Jessica and Liwen, for 2 months. And the below are some 'complaints' she received about her sleeping position and her sleeping habits:-

a) Apparently Yan mumbles when she's asleep.
b) Apparently Yan laughs when she's asleep.
c) Apparently Yan 'smacks' the person beside her when she's asleep. (sorry Liwen)
d) Apparently Yan grabs her roomies' bolster, named xiao lan=small blue. (sorry Liwen AGAIN)
e) Apparently Yan crosses her leg when she's asleep. (like an old ah pek sitting in some kopitiam)

Okay...so apparently these are the things that Yan did when she's experiencing REM/NREM. She's totally unaware. She's in a state of unconsciousness. She's in sleep debt. She's been having too much caffeine the day before. She may be too stress during the day and unfortunately, it shows even when she's asleep.

Blame her not.
