宿舍,好久不见哟。

现在的心情告诉我:用中文来写部落格吧。嗯 !一天里面贴了两个post,没问题吧。
其实身边有很多人都一直误会我能掌握的语言。大多数都认为我不会中文,或者认为我只会说,不会读/写中文。可能自己太习惯使用英文了吧。其实最近发现,自己的中文发音和词汇运用和句子构造都很有问题,有没有办法弥补呢。会说英文是好事,但不可以忽略中文呐。而且为了驻唱需求,自己也要努力的学多些中文歌曲,更是要把自己的咬词练好。语言...

Anyways...
正当我在盼望着那一星期的假期将会是永远的时候,假期结束了,我也回到宿舍了。明天又要继续播放着我们的Monday Blues了。10am有一份功课要交,接下来是11am~1pm, 2pm~3pm“蓝调”。希望可以‘播’得顺利些吧。

相信大家都的心情都处于holiday mood吧。
是时候回过神来了啊啊啊啊啊啊啊。

一小时前刚从家里出发回到槟岛,途中顺便在巴士站载了Zoe和Sue Ann。看到Zoe,又想起了上个星期日在巴生吃的肉骨茶干,好怀念的说,真的很好吃。Final考完之后我还会再下KL一趟。肉骨茶干,我来也~好怀念的麻辣板面,好怀念的瓦煲老鼠粉,12月再会!

对了,中秋节快到了,这几天里面应该要去买些中秋supply了 -- 月饼!对啊,我还没买。最近看到电视广告的麦可思月饼,看起来很不错,大家有没有意见呢?

好了,我要继续温习了,就此搁笔。



心声:最近都在徘徊着:继续守候,还是Let Go。我不懂。

I just hope that you would open up yourself and let your guard down for me.

Thanks Aquila ;) || Universtiy Reopens...

Thanks to Apelles, he recommended me to her sister Aquila, she's the runner-up for this year's Astro Star Championship competition, it's different from the Astro Star Quest. Participants are in a form of bands, and present their self-composed songs based on the theme and criteria given. For your curiosity's sake (if there's any), you may watch her through HERE, HERE, and HERE, all the videos throughout the competition is available on YouTube.

Back to the main thing, I went to the audition on Friday at Aquila's music studio, Fine Arts Music Studio. Sang a few songs, and for what its worth, I got through it! And without a fuss, I got the 1st job after like almost 10 months straight away on the next day, which was yesterday, Saturday. It was a school reunion held by CLHS (Chung Ling), the '69~'67 batch, held at Penang Club. Also, it was the first time for me to sing with Abel, she's one of the singer of the studio as well, nice'n sweet vocal she has! And a Malay guy with the name Bob, and boy that guy somehow duplicated Rod Steward's vocal! About the whereabouts of which cafe/pub/lounge/etc. that I'll be singing at, I will have to work that out with Aquila since I'm still a freshman in her studio.

Anyhow, thanks a trillion to her for granting me the opportunity ;)

Holiday is ending, university is reopening... Here comes the avalanche of tight schedules + assignments + quiz + tests + lectures + replacement classes etc. etc. etc. etc.

The Story of My Life (duh)

oh and... by the way, can somebody remind me that I have to go and get a haircut?
please? I mean, seriously.

Over and out.

Random

Went to USM Wanderer's and did some rehearsal on the song written by Patrick. It so happens that it's Eric's birthday, got to know it when the others surprised her with birthday cake. Happy Birthday! =)

I have to say, there are a lot of September babies in USM isn't it!

Went back to hostel after the practice. Auntie that sells nasi lemak in the cafe called me and reminded me of the chocolate bar that April asked her to keep in the fridge. She did say something about closing the cafe tomorrow, I guess she's balik kampung tomorrow? Anyways here it is...


April, you left your choc in cafe auntie's fridge!
It's with me now tho.



Am listening to Falling Slowly - Kris Allen's American Idol studio version.

Finishing my reports, pass it up, end of story.

Good night people.

Happy Birthday <3 belated Wifey

Woke up from a few hours of sleep at this hour again... battling against my IEK101 and IEG101, and, it's HER birthday today. I have to finish up this post... Math class in the morning... 1 hour of lecture -- highly unlikely for me to attend.

Happy Happy Birthday to my belated wifey, Cheryl ;)

It's her 22nd Birthday today! 16th of September!

This time (day) last year, she still have class at that moment and staying at hostel, so she couldn't make it back to B'worth for celebration, we celebrated it the way she wanted it -- nice and simple. I took leave on that day, came to USM and took her out, leaving her busy study schedule behind for a lil' while. Went to TGI Friday at Queensbay Mall, ordered her favorite Sesame Jack Chicken Strips and the Friday's Three For All that consists of Loaded Potato Skins, Fried Mozzarella and Buffalo Wings. We enjoyed it so much. She kept telling me simple stuffs will do, but to me, there's no budgeting for such memorable moments ;) and I was working!

We talked, exchanging each others' topic of the week; her exam, her lab session, telling me her silly acts in class, complain to me about the hot sun while she walks to swimming pool and the noisy neighbor at her hostel, how she chatted with me in MSN by sitting near the staircase to get a better wireless reception, the unfinished porridge that she cooked in the afternoon, the stage-fright she gets during her presentation, the joy of finishing all her tutorials so she could come out and celebrate her birthday with me, etc.; I did the same and told her what I did for the week so far. We laughed so loud like nobody's business and like we owned the place of TGI Fridays, because it was a weekday, a Tuesday to be precise, not much customer(s) were there. Of course, the gift. In fact, that is what she asked and insisted me to give her, the gift is actually a mini diary with a blue cover, with a Treble on it. I wrote 100 things of both of us on the first few pages, just like she asked me to. She's going to write it for the rest of the week, then I'll be the one who writes for the following week, and the cycle goes on.

Silly wifey's silly suggestion ;) I love it.

After dining at TGI Friday's, we went to Batu Feringghi straight ;) yes it's a long way from QB to there! We went to SUNSET BISTRO, it's a place where you can enjoy watching the sunset (at the right time of course), a perfect environment with nice panoramic view, with some Reggae playing in the background, dimmed lights (or candle lights), a very nice environment for privacy... ;) and not to mention, romantic, totally. I'm not going into the details on how we spent our time there *ahem*. Use your imagination (if you are curious, duh).

11pm, and we are on our way back to her hostel, stayed at the gate for 10 minutes, kissed goodbye, texts and calls as usual, and good night.

I hope she's doing fine over THERE.

I love you;
For stepping into my life and always be the first to be there when I'm down;
For the first time, you got me thinking about our life, a house and kids which no one has ever made me think that far;
For letting your guard down so that I am noticeable by you and letting me step into your life;
For all the wake-up calls you made to make sure I'm not late for anything;
For the teas that you made for me to keep my vocal in good condition;
For giving me your everything;
For accepting my everything;
For being yourself when you're with me;
For accepting the real me;
For appreciating me;
For accepting all my silly acts when I was courting you so that I don't feel embarrassed;
For standing by my side even when I'm on the wrong one;
For everything we shared;
For all the joy we shared when meeting each others' parents;
For all the battles we fought together;
For all the crazy things we did together;
For all the hugs and kisses;
For all the best moments of my life;
For being the best thing in my life;
For being the only thing that makes sense when everything around me are not;
For being my Wifey =) u meant the world to me.
Irreplaceable and always, you will be.

This post is meant for your eyes.

I'm moving on, very slowly.

Final Exam in 1.5 months

Wide awake now and I can't get into sleep, slept for awhile in the afternoon so I guess I'll doze off in an hour from now. Have my exam schedule checked (above).
My final exam schedule, temporary's though, is out. The subjects and the times are as shown in the photo. Wrote it down on the back of a Tesco receipt and nailed it on my notice board. My final exam starts off with the freakin' Bahasa Melayu, followed by Chemical Process Calculation, and then Mathematics, Ecology and Environmental Science. Begins on the 5th, ends on the 19th. By the way, 19th of November is Jacky's birthday. Jacky I'm gonna have to wish you happy birthday 7 hours later because you are at UK at that time being!!!

Although the exam schedule is only a draft for now, but I guess it is highly unlikely for them to reschedule everything if nothing outta the ordinary happens, yes, nothing outta the ordinary, say like an alien invasion. Ok *piak*. Crap.

You know what, I feel like writing another post.
Please hold.

9 months later...

It's been 9 months since it happened.

And so happens if you were thinking what happened to me 9 months ago... It's available in one of my posts, right HERE.

16th September is her birthday.
22 years ago, her mother gave birth to her at a hospital in Raja Uda, Butterworth.
She's the 2nd child in the family after her elder brother. She's the only daughter.
She was brought up in a very healthy and complete family, loving parents and brother, she's a pampered child in the family, but yet she's got a positive manner and attitudes. She's a very independent girl.

Everything is ok throughout her schooling days. She went into matriculation college after her SPM. She managed to get herself into USM after that.
Right before that, she met a boy that later would became the guy who fell for her. That guy is me =) This is how we got to know each other : After SPM, I was selected for the 3 months National Service Program. I get to know her through the camp as well. The camp we went was called Gardenia Camp in Chang Loon, Kedah. That place is quite rural and urban. It's an abandoned resort, to be precise. She noticed me when I performed for the Night of Culture held in the camp, I was singing Blink 182's I miss You.

The conversation started by complimenting each other about the performances we did, yes she performed on the stage as well, cultural dance ;) we began to talk, until the moment when the night is over and everyone was shoo-ed to bed by the officers. We exchanged numbers and would text each other whenever we have no activities in hand and am staying in at the dorm. We began to see each other more and more frequently as time goes by. I realized I fell for her, and at the last day of the camp, I told her that I would go to her on the next day, she agreed.

She's staying somewhere that is not so far away from where I'm staying. At that moment, I knew that something is going on between us. I wasn't in control of myself, all I know was I confessed to her when I see her, just like that. She did the same, and that's how we got together ;) It was a day to remember, 8th of March '05. right after our SPM result was announced on the 7th.

We were very sweet, everything went on smoothly, she finished her studies in matriculation college and went into USM right after that. I did my diploma and decided to play around a little, found myself a job, worked as a part-time which later became full-time singer in Tao's. I planned to further up in the university, but at that time being, I wasn't really in the mood to drown myself in the books yet.

The days go on and on, until the heart-breaking news that killed the both of us...
A failed car-jacking attempt took her away from me.

Read it to find out more
, the curiosity won't kill you in this case.

I have to admit, it's been 9 months, and I'm still learning how to accept it honestly.
I don't wanna run from it, I'm not avoiding it, I wanna face it, but it's almost like a mission impossible to me.

I think I got over it, but I didn't. Sometimes thinking of it again makes me fall apart.

I'm so used to having her around me that I'm feeling so empty sometimes, even though there are good buddies around me, yet the silence is so loud.

I have to admit that I fell for someone lately ;) I'm not taking her as a 'replacement', make no mistake about that. The feelings are true ;) But it's a rather slow process if you get what I mean.
She's not giving me some very positive signals I have to say, maybe more time is needed? and yet there are some complicated things that are going on on the other side.

I'm still learning...
I'm still empty...
I'm moving on...

=)

life is hard, and that is what makes life meaningful.

I had to lie and I'm sorry xD

**I'm tagging you (those who are tagged) because I mentioned you or mentioned anything to you regarding what I'm going to write in this post. Teehee.

Doing : reading and blogging.

Listening to : Two is Better than One - Boy Like Girl ft. Taylor Swift (recommending to all of you, their duet goes perfectly)

Another tiring week is over, no more test(s) for the week, but lots of lab reports and tutorials to kill, coping with it quite well though ;) By the way, only had 4 days of classes though since it was a public holiday in Malaysia on this Monday, and that is WHY my class are jam-packed because of the endless flows of replacement classes at night -- think on the bright side? -> *cover my chest with both hands* I SHOULD FEEL GRATEFUL BECAUSE FINALLY I GOT ALL MY TIME FILLED!... ... now that was so ... tuh-rue. Tuh-rue. 'TRUE'.

Planning for the so-called 'treating' for seniors of School of Industrial Technology, and so it has been decided :
Venue : House of Steamboat *火锅之家*, Macalister Road, Penang.
Time : Sunday, 13 September '09, 6:oo pm till when everybody says 'I hate to eat'
Places reserved : 100
Treating : final year seniors
Treated by : 1st year juniors with Bleeding Pockets.
Motive : Another interaction session between Jrs. and Srs. (which I think is not really effective)

Anyhow, went back home on Wednesday night and fetched dad to airport on Thursday morning, driver was outstation, mummy's gotta work, so yea, I did the job. While fetching my dad to airport next morning, we went to have half-boiled eggs and kaya toast at a nice place around the airport, and I have to say it's quite cheap for the size of the breakfast! -- I know, just half-boiled eggs and kaya toast, what's the big deal. But seriously it was really nice! No pictures were taken though, nothing to show, sorry xD

Regarding the song that I presented at the USM Wanderer's meeting this week, it was David Tao's new song - 暗恋. I didn't know that what I have to present was the SONG THAT I LIKE, not SONGS THAT I WRITTEN. LOL. I decided to present this song at the very last minute before the session. I like this song a lot, the lyric is just right and nice, and it's simply straight-forward, no twist and turns, at least, that's what I like. For some it may be a bit too cheesy. This song's lyric shows how the guy actually confessed in an indirect way to a girl that he actually loves her that much. It's all about how a guy actually feels when he's liking the girl subtly, and hey, the words are so true. Love the words, good one David Tao =) feel free to go and take a listen!

The emcee for the meeting was Christie and Vance though, was forced to tell who's that 'girl' that I refer to in the song, but it's kinda hard to hide my feelings though. If I were to say 'nobody', it's a very obvious lie. Those who know me knows that I actually poured my feelings in when I'm singing. But I simply couldn't tell who that person is, and I thought of a lie and I told it to everyone (for the sake of entertainment xD ) : oh she's not in Malaysia, she's actually at Bulgaria --- and you know what? PEOPLE ACTUALLY BOUGHT THAT! xD Hey people, I don't have any friends or any people that I know that is went to Bulgaria, not even in Europe. Oh yea actually I do have one, but not in Bulgaria, she's in Germany though -- Shir Ling, nicey goody friend ;) the reason I said Bulgaria was, I thought of the foods at the Bulgarian Restaurant located at Batu Feringghi at that moment, I seriously miss the food there!!! Plodiv pork steaks oh my God!!! Ok, back to the main thing, guys, sorry for telling the lies, am really sorry!!! Come to think about it, if I were to tell who that person is, it's not 暗恋 anymore aight, so stick to its definition!!! x) Anyhow, wish me luck, am serious towards her =)

Helped Patrick to fill up the melody for his new song, nice one Patrick, especially the words. We managed to work out the melody, with me changing the melodies of some parts of the song under Patrick's permission. Oh and by the way, something to say to Ray. Ray, life is beautiful, and ratio of men and women in the world today looks kinda fair for men tho xD

And I guess it's my bed time for now, going home in a few hours after the debate training, mummy misses me too much, have to go back and meet her! After all, I'm a goody boy (duh).

Good morning to everyone...

-- sorry for the lies xD

你不是笨蛋(:

It's 5 in the morning, and I can't get into sleep.
Am half way finishing my stuffs, even though my next class is 12 hours away : the coming 5pm xD

Went to had sushi earlier with Kit Yee and Peng ;) and have to admit was quite full, but am hungry now, the stomach's digest-timer reached it's time already.

Just done checking out my stuffs on Facebook and noticed the 'Fans' and 'All My Friends!' thingy, the trend or craze of this has just begun, everybody is going through the applications -- including me (x Everybody seems to be clueless on what are they actually doing -- including me, but everyone -- including me, is having fun. 'Oh hey I'm your 2nd biggest fan!' 'Why am I being tagged fat?' etc etc. What's the point? I don't wanna know xD no need for any explanation when you're having fun, if not that boring. But we can make good use of it though. I doubt that one is close with EVERYBODY that's on his/her Facebook's friend list. Well now it's time, different people who rarely mingles with each other are being tagged on the same photo, I see this as an ice-breaking opportunity though, since a conversation could be started off by 2 people being tagged on the same photo 'hey you are being tagged as well huh' "yea being tagged fat" 'awww you are nothing close to fat'. LOL. Come on, give me another reason why are we doing the application thingy again? 'I DON'T KNOW'.

I just read somebody's blog, she's not in a good shape, something that you can't tell from the outside, but inside of her, deep inside.

And, if she sees this, I want her to know that :

我永远都愿意当个听众,
安慰你的痛,
保护着你从始至终
(: I'm with you, always.

你一点都不笨, 或许你是个坏蛋 =P,但绝对不是笨蛋.
笑一个吧 (:



over and out, good morning people, and Happy Tuesday Morning, whatever that makes you happy.

It meant a lot to me, seriously.

Though it may not sound like it's something big, but it's every little things that YOU do that matters.

;) see YOU on Monday.

I miss enjoying the weekend

It's been awhile since I last enjoyed my weekend to the fullest... I crawled through most of my weekends lately with assignments and revisions for test, and I even had a test on last Saturday, spoiler! Oh and by the way, last week was a black week for me, an accident and series of retarded incidents occurred on me. Nothing goes my way, at least not so off the track, that's the least I could ask for.

I smiled the whole day in front of everybody for a week, wondering would people actually notice what's behind those smiles and laughter. Comprehend me, please =|

Leave all my stuffs behind and enjoy myself throughout the weekend? I can't, I don't wanna screw up my cramp-packed week days, am busy enough already! I'm not complaining about the assignments or tests given, but I seriously miss my weekends... I wanna go to the beach, it's been quite awhile since I last left my footprints on the sand.

I'm not saying that I can't cope with all these, but I need a break. Something's missing, something abstract, something more than words.

Yusa, who is currently in Wolverhampton, UK, texted me a short, simple yet supportive message... When I saw that, my eyes were kinda wet. That message carries a large dose of persistence and warm wishes. Thank you Yusa =D



***I'm longing for words to describe how I'm feeling***

=)

Despite all my effin' assignments and tests and the dumb-arse BM presentation, even at this hour, I just woke up to continue with my revisions and reports, I think I'm in a pretty good shape.

Before I forget, Happy 20th Birthday, Sue Ann! Welcome to the 20's club.

Oh, to somebody, I seriously hope you've set your alarm clock, and didn't sleep at really 'early' hours, since I don't know what time you actually slept =(

I think she's able to wake up though. Hehe =p
Oh and, I miss you =) yes youuuu you know its you =p

Anyways, good night and good morning, world.

Over and out.

Coming birthday(s) this week:
Claire Su and Peng Peng - 3rd of September
