HOP....?!

YES. HOP. 

Not a movie I recommend. DO NOT be fooled by those cute little, long ears and fluffy tails and over-sized adorable yellow chicks! 3 words.

LAME. LAME. LAME.

*spoiler alert*

 

Hollywood totally ka-bosh the entire meaning of Easter! We have a bunny who is suppose to be crowned the Easter Bunny whose main job is to distribute Easter eggs to the whole world on Easter day. Here we have little E.B (the bunny above) refusing to be the Easter Bunny and aspires to be a drummer. 

Then he met this guy who has been jobless for over a year, free loading off and this guy aspires to be the Easter Bunny.

I know. It sounds weird. Long story short. He manage to become co-partners with E.B and both are the Easter Bunnies (yes, even though that guy is pure human). 

Weird. 

Coming towards the end of 2010

2010 rekindled friendships. new friends. new dreams. romance. bigger ambitions. a year older.

It was a great year. Not yet the best. The best has yet to come. There are many people to thank for this great  and glorious year. I have yet to achieve what I want and what I set out to achieve. But God is helping me on the way. It is indeed a wonderfully blessed year.

So many things things to be thankful for. Here's the first ---> 

GOD You are awesome and amazing! Your grace never fails and many many a times you have lifted me up when I fall down. Thank you for the big dreams you gave me and the encouragement to push out of my box and to stand victorious. Thank you for the promotion you laid before me, the fantastic family you have given me, the love and the friends you surround me with. You have sheltered me and took so much care for me and groom me up today to be who I am. I am excited with the destiny you have given me.

FAMILY It must be God, again. A great family. Thank you daddy for your humor, love and support and the times that we sneakily struck up a conspiracy against mum. Hahaha!! And how she would scream at both of us later! Daddy, you are the most amazing man I have ever known. I admire your hardworking-ness, your generosity, your multi-capableness and your amazing thoughtfulness. I am proud of you and all your achievements. You are my hero.There are no words to describe you. Mum, thanks for keeping the house clean, and at times helping me with my laundry and my room. Thank you for the occasional cookings though they are not as good as dad but you tried really hard. :-) My brothers..they are the only ones that could be my brothers. No others. I miss the times we play Barbies, Lego and robots together. How fast we all grew up. Thank you. 

FRIENDS Thank you for your support. Yume especially for your quirkiness, natural sarcastic   humor and thoughtfulness (Your Christmas cookies are very very yummy!! >.<). To Aquila, Abel, Jessica,Pinky, Maybelle, Jenny, Teo..I drink to your success. The music industry is in your hands. You girls are an awesome support and though we don't see each other so often now, I miss the times I spent with you. I miss Aquila's lack of memory and humor, Abel's quiet support, Jessica's encouragements, Pinky's unbeatable make-up advice, Maybelle's sexy dance moves, Jenny's dynamic laughter and Teo's steadiness. Last but not least, my HSG Penang comrades. It ain't easy building, but we strive through and through. I thank God for our rekindled frienships.  HSG KL : I would never forget the warm welcome I received each time I am there, the conversations we have as though we have known each other for years and the encouragements I received.  THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

LOVE Thank you for loving me. Though I may be scheming, fuming and all volcanic at times..you have given your love. We are not perfect but I love how God brought us together and we somehow fit each other's jigsaw. How opposite and yet similar we are. I know you would never write such mushy mushy stuff and you would kill yourself should you have a blog. LOL. God knows best and I am glad that both of us share big dreams and that we have big ambitions to achieve. Let's do it and break through for our benefits and for the benefits of those who we love. It's a new year to achieve our destiny together! Thank you.

CAR Oh Wira, Wira. I apologize for neglecting you and for how I recklessly driven you. I promise to give you a new paint job and get you well tuned and maintained in the new year. I love you though you are now old. But because of you, I get to drive myself around and get things done. You have given me such a convenience! Thank you.

HAMSTERS Saki, Ichigo, Maori, Kiki, Ren, Tsuba.. thank you for staying alive. I am not that good an owner but you little cuties have given me great joy. Thank you.. And stay alive!!

Whew!!! I better stop.. I couldn't believe once I started I suddenly have so many things to be thankful for. Wow!! I could have go on all night!!! I almost included Jane Austen and Stephanie Meyer!!! Gosh.

Let me summarize everything up. Read this----> THANK YOU & I LOVE YOU

The Malaysian English Language Syllabus

NEED TO FINISH UP BUSINESS PROPOSAL.


Yes. Resulting in endless research and much head-cracking.

I need more points on why the Malaysian English Language syllabus is insufficient and not at all holistic for Malaysian students. The results are ; students unable to speak proper English, or use English in the modern world today. Students are not taught to think creatively and critically resulting in many college and university students (esp. those in government colleges and universities) unable to speak in public nor use the language in presentations and in application. Most graduates find it hard to obtain jobs especially in foreign-based companies simply because they cannot think critically and respond well in English. They spluttered with what all the "glory" of  the Malaysian slangs.

What is wrong with the Malaysian English Language syllabus?? Yes. People. I need your input. Tell me what are your opinions. Tell me what's wrong. I need points. Your help is deeply appreciated.

Basking in serenity

Dad and mum took me furniture hunting, again. Seeing no fruit for their previous effort, they took me this time to a supplier. No frills, fuss. No showroom.

From the outside. It did not look like a furniture shop. At a glance, honestly. It looked like some forsaken papan maker shop.

Once step in, we were warmly greeted and on the left and right were multitudes of cupboards to shoe racks. The ceiling has cobwebs and the floor, dusty. Dirty plastic chairs were offered to us and what look like mountains of furniture samples in photo albums, thrust into our hands.

I raised an eyebrow, held my breath. Not the kind of shop I expected.

I browse slowly through. Not bad. Not bad. I have yet to find what I wanted.

I flip and flip and in the end, with the very,very reasonable price. I settle on an English style bed and dressing table. Pure white. Happy!

Visions of roses and English gardens dance in my head. I love the romantic,rustic English style. This photo down here seems to capture a beauty I so vehemently love. Such beautiful contrast of colours.

It kinda makes you wanna kick off your shoes, lay your bare feet on the green, green grass, smell the fresh air lingered with blossomed flowers and sip on English tea. I called it, basking in serenity.

Merdeka???!!! Does not exist in my vocabulary.

My business proposal is on the way. It is just.. I have struck a mind-freeze at the moment. Suddenly, I do not know what to write in the proposal. Having never obtain any form of business qualification, I squeeze every ideas and thoughts out. BLANK.

Now.I am waiting upon Him to give me some ideas. He did before. Now I needed somemore.

Meanwhile, I managed to post a new post because I am FINALLY having the chance to just laze around at home.

What a privellege to be a bum for one day. I haven't felt so relax since things took the fast lane.

Looking back. I realized ever since I joined HSG, life has really been on the fast lane for me. Not that I am complaining. Not that I don't like it. I actually appreciate what God has done. I am actually lazy by nature. But after being in HSG and receiving all those amazing revelations. I cannot be a BUM anymore. My life. My choice to live it to the best.

So..it is at moments like these (National Day today = Public Holiday) that I can finally take a rest and "slither" around the house like a snake. LOL!

Oh..I miss the countdown for Merdeka. Why? Frankly...let's say I don't feel patriotic lately. Hasn't feel it since what...many years ago but it only intensifies this year. Malaysia, a beautiful country. I love the food. I love our holidays. I love our malls. I love how regular we have big sales. I love how I can spend my money buying cheap discounted branded items.

What I don't love? Racism and corruption. This year. It intensifies. It balloons up. My anger rises when I got to know the government plans to implement a 4% sales tax to non-edible goods and services. What does that means? It means I need to pay a freaking 4% next year for the clothes I buy..the shoes..the make-up...the...the... I need to kick those government's butts!! They think money grow on trees?

I hate corruption. If we pay taxes..and life in this country improves. We see projects for the benefits or the rakyat. We see good roads. We see better prices in goods. We have non-ridiculously  expensive government buildings and istanas. Then, I donit mind paying taxes. For now, the taxes are use to feed the corrupted.

They are grateful I am a Christian. Hmrrphh!!! I know my God will bring down the corrupted and the broad-day light pencuri. Yeah. You corrupts will face justice one day. If it is not in this life. Then your afterlife. It will be ugly.

I am proud I had registered myself as a voter. For you Malaysians, please do the right thing and register. Enough is enough. I cannot sit here and complain. I exercise my right. I am so gonna stick by opposition like glue.

There.I have rant and pent my anger. I had abused my keyboard. Gonna sign off! And no.. I will not sign off with "Merdeka!" or "Happy Birthday, Malaysia". I would have 10 years ago. Now. I don't feel very "merdeka".

Dewan Pustaka should have change the meaning of "merdeka" in the dictionary. It is a joke to hear it shouted out at 12am on 31st August 2010.

Of plans,works & God's goodness

Hey peeps! Won't be posting so soon from now. Well, not unless I get my business proposal done. Did I just bold them? Hahaha.

God indeed is good and always have been. This could be a God-given opportunity. I have found and will be meeting with a potential investor for my business sometime this week or next. Which explains the delay postings and what-will be my next few days'  'affair' with Microsoft Office Powerpoint. LOL.

Works aside. I just discover that my postings are full of grammatical and typo error! Oh, the horrors! I was baffled. It wasn't me. It is my fingers. Too fast on the keyboard. Muahahaha.. I know. The 'peribahasa', "Tidak tahu menari, kata lantai berjongkang-jangket" clearly implies here. LOL. I have to make sure there are no such embarrassment display when I present my business proposal.

Another woots would be...I am going to Cambodia next April! Like I said, God is good. Now, I would just need to save money to spend there since stuff there are in USD. O.o

Had a cute episode today with my little 4 year old student. Was introducing him music composers. And when I point to a cartoon man with curly hair and said:

"Beethoven. This is Beethoven.He is a very famous composer."

Little student smiled at me. "No, teacher. That's Michael Jackson!"

Teacher bewildered and covered with laughing fits, calmly said. "No. It's Beethoven,my dear."

Little student said, "No. It's Michael Jackson.Michael Jackson got curly hair."

Then I said, "No no. This is Beethoven.He also has curly hair. Look at his suit. People only wear that kind of suit a long, long time ago."

Student. "Then it's Michael Jackson in a suit! Teacher. Do you know Michael Jackson died already?"

Teacher : ..........*speechless*

Ah...children. Such innocence. Marvelous gifts God created. Sometimes, I think that children are the real teachers. :-D

Of many what-ifs

Excuse me for being fickle-minded.

Yeah, I know it is a new background. I have a reason to do it. I do not know if I would actually cry while typing this. I am not going to Siem Reap, Cambodia aymore next year.


Plans cancelled.I was so close to one of my dream locations! The flights are cheap, the hotel is cheap, the tour..ok. Not very cheap. But still it's an 8 hour tour. Full day Angkor Wat. At RM 158 per person. *cries*

Plans cancelled due to my parents..who are non-believers by the way, insist that they have to go clear up the ancestor graves and offer prayers. According to them, the "cheng beng" is clashing with the dates I planned. Second reason. My parents are in the middle of renovating our new house. Insufficient funds  to have the whole family going together. Then my dad and me (yes, I am a 100% daddy's girl) said that we could go together. My mum was not happy about it.

So, yeah. Plans cancelled.

I was very,very close to tears.

I spent 2 days. 2 DAYS!! My face inches from the screen. Plotting. Planning. Scheming for cheaper flight tickets. Align the departure and arrival time nicely. Hunt the hotels. Get the cheaper tour. All because I was encouraged by my father. He gave me the green light. His exact words were, "If ok, book la."

Imagine how frustrated I am after everything tears up.

To be honest. I never particularly like family trips. When especially in my case. I have 2 younger brothers that needs to tag along and can't pay for anything. I gave up. It is my last straw and a white flag I am hanging. I will    never, NEVER, EVER, plan any vacations for my family.

I have exhausted all my energy.

I prefer travelling in small groups and in groups were especially you don't need to worry about money. Every man for himself. I thought bout asking Josh. And no. Financials tight. *sigh*

I so need a travelling buddy!!!  Pleaasseeeee..anyone interested. Sign up. Interview me! I am fun! And very engaging.

It will take awhile for me to recover from this...You have no idea how close you are to your dream and then, poof! It buh-bye to you. Air Asia better have another promotion.

I am very determine to go to an international location every year to basically, give myself a break.

Right now, I guess the temple ruins of Angkor Wat will have to wait.

*blogger went off to sob and indulge in some other matters that are lighter to the heart*
