Celebrating Elsa bday

今天是Elsa的生日,yay~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!

自从college后,我们大家都没聚在一起帮人庆生了,所以昨天就来聚一聚啦~!在寿星的特别要求下, 我们到 Taipan, USJ的 Doarae Korean BBQ Reataurant。正餐吃完后,当然就少不了主角——生日蛋糕登场啦!

the birthday cake!

我们唱了一首很快的生日歌。哈哈,真的很快~ 应该少过6秒钟吧!哈哈,隔壁桌那些应该觉得我们好奇怪,唱生日歌也赶时间?

singing birthday song

之后,当然就是拍照咯~ 介绍省略,自己看照片:

拍完照后,Lala让我们试他从台湾带回来的槟榔。哈哈…有看台湾剧的人都知道台湾人好多都好爱吃槟榔,尤其是那些长途司机们。我们大家都很好奇槟榔会是什么味道,可是当我们看到袋子上面写着:“食品局安全提示:长期食用槟榔会引起咀嚼障碍和口腔癌”后,大家都不是很敢吃咧~

每个人都手拿一粒,可是都不敢放进嘴里… Lala为了替我们记录我们大家的“槟榔初体验”,还拍下了一小段video..(不过为了大伙的形象着想,我设了权限,只有我们的朋友才可以在facebook看到)

再一次,生日快乐啦~!

This Is IT

FINALLY went to watch Michael Jackson’s This Is IT . Been reading all the facebook status and tweet about how awesome & how great it is. Haha, obviously a lot of people watched the movie over Halloween weekend.

No doubt, it IS AWESOME. Memang the best behind-concert documentary ever.

Watching it, you understand the meaning of  PASSION. When the music starts playing, he’s READY for it. Giving his best in everything, even when it’s only rehersal.

INSPIRATION. Around him, EVERYONE is motivated and dedicated to give their BEST. Everyone feels proud just to be with him.

TEAMWORK. One goal. One dream.

LOVE. The LOVE for the earth, the love for his fans, the love for music.

ICON. Music that hits still after so many years.

KING of pop. Always keeping up his reputation, maintaining his voice, and his GROOVES. Looking at his rehersals, even at his 50, no young dancers can groove as good as the king himself.

Oh… The EARTH SONG… Simply LOVE the video they’ve prepared for the concert. Seriously IMPACT.

BIG APPLAUSE for This Is It..!

A Thousand Splendid Suns

买了好久的一本书,看得断断续续,这几天终于一鼓作气看完它。

A Thousand Splendid Suns,Khaled Hosseini继The Kite Runner后之作。

背景,仍然是那动乱的阿富汗。背弃、逃亡、离别、死亡,一切都不可预期。活着显得是最单纯的愿望。

虽然我并不是一个女权主义者,可是我不喜欢里面的灰暗。

不喜欢那些面对家暴仍然不能反抗的卑微女人。不喜欢整个女人社会的无力感。不喜欢那些一切都只是男人的沙猪主意社会,男人三妻四妾却理直气壮,而女人就永远都是牺牲品。

不喜欢里面的那么多的遗憾,那没机会见父母最后一面的遗憾...

很多的不喜欢,却无法否认这是一本很棒的书。

在重重困难下为了自己的孩子牺牲一切的妈妈。甚至在没有麻药的情况下剖腹生产... 感叹女人的伟大和坚韧。

感叹在一切噩梦事过境迁后,仍然心系家园,想为那残破的祖国尽一份力的人们。感叹那在一切伤害之后,仍然坚强面对的人们...

感谢纵使家庭不再美满,却不充满无可弥补的遗憾。感谢我住在一个离开战争的国家。感谢我生在一个女人还是有基本权益的国家。感谢生命中所拥有的一切...

manual car joke

My dad saw in the paper classified the other day about a car for sale.

“Nissan Sunny 1994. Fully restored, a lot of new parts, well functioned… 

Sadly daughter can’t drive manual.”

Rolling on the floorHahaha… Well, i think that happens a lot nowadays. My aunt also sold of her car cos my cousins can’t drive her manual.

Don't Forget the Lyrics

EMERGE is round the corner, and EVERYONE in CHC is ON FOR IT!
The competition I had the most interest in is definitely the PHOTOGRAPHY competition but heck, apparently past winners of EMERGE CAN'T JOIN the same category!!
Since i'm the winner for EMERGE 2007, i'm now not qualified to enter... *sob* why lah... * And for yours dearly's information, the prize i got that year, now don't know where to, I never even get hold of it also... BIG SOB*

Sigh... Since I can't join the photography competition no more, though I already start taking photos for it...
So Sean at the last minute asked me whether i'm interested to join "Don't Forget the Lyrics".

For Chinese songs category, there'll be 60 songs, where as 160 songs for English category. AND we have 4 DAYS for~ OMG~ In situation like this, of course I choose Chinese category lah!

When I got the song list, there's songs that i'm VERY FAMILIAR like FIR, our very own Michael Wong, TANK, etc... But there's also VEYR UNFAMILIAR ONCE like WANG LEE HOM! Oh my... I know Lee Hom is VERY FAMOUS but out of his 6 songs, maybe I just know 3 lah... and the lyrics all so long, HOW? Sigh...

And then when you might THINK that since i'm familiar with lotsa songs, it'll be SO EASY for me which is SO WRONG!
Since I like to sing KTV so MUCH, well OBVIOUSLY JTV has LYRICS PREPARED FOR YOU! So basically even though I like to sing, I don't remember the lyrics!
And now it's DOUBLE HARDER to remember those you THINK you know the lyrics but thr truth is you just remember the RHYTHM... Gosh...
Need to buck up!

Go GO GO VU~~!!

回怡保见老友

时隔两年,上个周末我回了怡保一趟。
因为远在美国的老朋友R说这个周末他会回去参加他姐姐的婚礼,想顺便聚一聚。
我想说也是时候顺便去看看其他老朋友了。
他16号回来,可是16号是弟弟的生日,所以我17号一大早就抓紧时间下去。
回到去,大部分仍然是老样子,变的似乎只是马路更宽、树木更少、一向在那里的人还在那里。

由于R从美国回来过周末,当然就没有联络方式,也就只能等待他联系了。
结果过了一整天,然后才在18号早上,在教会里遇见他,匆匆地谈了不到10分钟,他又匆匆地走了。
而且他见到我的第一句话竟然是:咦,你怎么会在这里?
...无言了。我说我们大家都等你的电话等了两天,怎么你任何人都没联络?要不然也早该知道我特地跑一趟来聚一聚了。
反正人家匆匆地来,又匆匆地走了,像他一贯的风格,多年没变。

这次回去除了第一天的晚餐吃了点心,基本也没特别光顾回味什么美食,因为周末如常的大家都好忙。
去参加了youth meeting,往日的大哥哥姐姐们仍在那儿,而我同辈的则也成为了人家的大姐姐。

虽然清楚时间流逝,可是看到曾经只是小学一二年级的小孩子,现在已经是中学快毕业那高大的样子,仍然震撼了一下 :老了吗?

晚上跟老朱聚了一下,原本是想说去喝杯茶,结果出门时天不作美下雨了,就只好到24小时营业的麦当劳。
而天才的老朱好点不点,替我点了杯咖啡...-_-"
果不其然,咖啡对我的延迟效应还真得令我在睡着后的半夜三点钟起身了...

第二天,参观了Ipoh Harvest Church,气氛跟CHC很接近,可是Pastor Lian的sermon是用广东话的。
很特别,第一次听广东话的sermon。
*汗* 虽然明白广东话,可是还是得在脑袋里想一想到底是什么字,才可以有具体概念。

这一次离开时并没往日的不舍,是因为家已不在这里,所以没有依恋吗?
以前总是想如果某天我有机会迁回怡保,应该会很快乐。
可是现在回来一趟,感觉又不尽然。
快乐是随着个人走,并不是依靠一个地方能给于你的。
可能这一趟没遇见很多人,感觉也没很充实,所以感觉有遗憾吧。

期待下一次能跟更多朋友们齐聚一堂的时候...

短言

心情最近再次有些烦闷,来来去去的...
虽然这是正常现象,毕竟人不可能全年只有欢乐(那样就真的有毛病,整天hyper不停)。
不过我更讨厌有些人会觉得不开心一定就要开解,然后要开导之类什么的,所以也就不在这里多说细节。

反正就觉得自己最近的个性很糟糕,脾气好暴躁。
希望这个周末如有机会见回老朋友们,会找到从前那单纯的满足和快乐。

monk uncle, again…

Today is so not my day…

After church, wanted to reply some sms but apparently there’s some issue, I thought it was just some coverage problem. Then later when I tried to dial a missed call, then only i realise it’s my line problem!

I went to Digi for enquiry, and apparently my telephone bills wasn’t cleared for the past 2 months and so it was barred. I paid on the spot but seems like it’ll only return to normal earliest by tomorrow. When i got home I asked dad about it, and it seems like either one of them paid all the bills EXCEPT mine, sorta missed out my bills.

Then went home having to see the family-friend monk uncle over at grandma’s place. When it’s time for dinner, though i’m still full over my late lunch, Uncle Monk was hungry and kinda urge my aunt to take him for vegetarian dinner. For the sake of dragging a companion, aunt asked me along whether i like it or not. Well, dinner was ok but the journey back is NOT!

As usual, the roads leading to Klang town is jammed. Thus this Uncle Monk starts saying his prayers (阿弥陀佛)out loud. Though I don’t speak his prayer, I don’t bother much about hearing people pray, everyone’s got their free will, right?

BUT THEN, he starts saying, “You see, prayer works… At least we’re not totally stuck!” *Hello? Even the standard-2 cousin of mine knows without your “a-mi-to-fo” prayers the traffic is just SLOW but NOT STUCK, ok? Well, once again, everyone has their own believes. I believe PRAYER WORKS too, just NOT his “a-mi-to-fo” prayer~

AND THEN.. HE STARTS ASKING MY 4-year-old cousin to say “a-mi-to-fo” prayer aloud with him~! OMG~!! Can you NOT DO THAT? In fact he ask both the kids to do so but the elder was reluctant thus the monk say, “哇,这个小的前世一定修行很够哦,大的就不行,看来修行不够…”(meaning the younger one must have had a good karma in the earlier life..)

SERIOUSLY, WHO ARE YOU TO TEACH MY COUSINS ALL THIS KINDA CRAP?! Because of people like you that like to speak crap and nonsense, that make the younger minds confuse!

Seriously I’m always a believer of everyone has their own choice of what to believe but teaching my cousins of things our own family doesn’t believe, YOU ARE TOO MUCH!

popcorn: Drag me to Hell

Missed this movie on cinema, then heard from Xynia that this movie is pretty good so i searched it out.

image

It starts with a kinda creepy scene where a boy was literally dragged into hell of fire, through a suddenly parted floor.

The story goes about when a girl, whom work as a bank loan officer was given a choice between helping a poor old lady to extend her loan payment of her home of 30 years, or deny her application and be promoted.

Well, obviously she chose the later and so, the old lady put the most crucial curse on her, for humiliating her in front of the crowd when she begged. And so the curse and revenge begins…

image

Well I can say this movie is full of lots of really gross scenes… Especially those whatever that may come out from this old gypsy lady…smile_sick Don’t eat while watching this movie, ya~

To my personal view, though the old lady did over react for putting a curse on somebody like tha but the young lady did sendiri cari pasal a bit. The price to pay for being selfish, humiliating people. And still after knowing that she has been curse, she still insist it’s her boss’ fault, not hers. Damn… Some times i really think mat saleh DO have the guts to mess with spirits leh. Macam tak pernah tengok horror films from Thailand.. smile_tongue

This is really a rather good PG-13 movie I’d say… Too bad the cute Justin Long didn’t have too much scenes around. What to do? He’s just the loving and sweet boyfriend mah…

Quite a good show, not too much of those simple bloody scene only macam Final Destination. At least this have different “variety” of yucky stuff.. Haha…


*A friend later introduced a review of looking at this movie in a TOTAL DIFFERENT perspective...http://www.slashfilm.com/2009/06/11/is-drag-me-to-hell-really-about-a-girl-with-an-eating-disorder/
