Its almost 2am.


I've been listening to Adam Lambert's version of Mad World like almost 10 times.

I finally finally finally finished getting those bank ratios in my head. But still, only "half pail water". Sumore some couldnt find proper calculations and definitions. Assignment is progressing very slowly thanks to procrastination and all the....... stuff. But i did learn alot about banking though (self consolation).

This is so not me okay. I'm a descendant of a pig. Sleep for me, is like water for humans. Necessity okay. And not just any sleep. 8-10 hours of sleep. Which i'm not getting very often now T___T


*complain complain complain*


I might as well go and sleep lol.





Wait, I shall.




Someone said this flower represents hope.

All the more reason for me to love it =)




A very Happy 21st Birthday to the Loh to the Siao to the Way!!!
Hope you'll enjoy your very special day ya =)

It was my bro's birthday and Fathers' Day and the extended family were coming over to celebrate, so the bro and I went to collect his birthday cake from RT pastry which we ordered earlier. RT pastry roxxxx =D

Anyway, as we were entering the ever busy shop, we noticed an elderly lady squatting near the entrance with a silver bowl in her outstretched hands. It was pretty obvious why she was there. The shop customers and passerbys were behaving as if she didnt exist.

I hate this kinda situation to be honest. One part of me would wana drop some money into the bowl while another part would be thinking that oh, she may be cheating and it may actually be better if i didnt give her any money so she wont be dependent on begging and get a proper job or something. Sure its a typical scene especially in day/night markets, but I've managed to avoid such situations somehow.

Typical of everyone to feel the way I felt. So I, like a typical average Malaysian, went into the shop willing myself not to glance her way, denying her existence. Then I went on with my own business, just like everyone was doing theirs, except that the old lady outside was haunting my thoughts.

As we were leaving, I passed some money to the bro and told him to drop it into her bowl on the way out. She nodded appreciatively at us, and gave us a smile that may be brief, but was the most sincere one I haven't seen for a long time.

I still dont know if what I did was right. Being a few bucks poorer wouldnt kill me. And it was definitely worth seeing her smile. It was a smile which I've once seen, but which I've forgotten. A smile which would remain in my memory for a long time.

I found myself wishing that people would be nice and smile at each other more. Especially towards strangers. Its sickening to see inconsiderate people caring only for themselves. Like those people who park like their grandfather owns the town and block the road. Well not like I'm the nicest person in the world, huh.

Hmm, just a random thought.


"It wouldnt hurt to be nice to one another. And it definitely wouldnt hurt to smile" =)

R.I.P. to the great MJ.



To the first pop singer I've ever known when I was still in my kiddy world of nursery rhymes;

To the first ever singer that I was a fan of simply because I didn't know of any other singers at that time XD;

To the man with a big heart, although the media never pictured him that way;

To the one who brought joy to millions, but was never happy himself;

To a fantastic performer;

To a great musician,



I salute you =)

<3

Love the way he gave a whole new feeling to Faye Wong's song and made it sound like it was his own, rather than just sing exactly like the original, as most of the other singers would have done. Too bad I could only find the radio version =(

Not exactly hot and no LeeHom big powerful voice (or at least he doesnt flaunt it), but I love his simplicity and distinctive style anyhow. And I can drown in his voice anytime...... =)

Cameron Highlands!!! =D

The last time we were here was like, about 10 years ago.

And now we're here again, the same families, except for my dad and my aunt's husband.

Early friday morning, drove the Unser to Cheras to pick up my aunt + cousins. Then mom took over the wheel and we met uncle's family at the Sg. Buloh rest area.

Weather: hot, hazy, sticky, behtahan

Halfway up the hill, we stopped by the waterfall. The way up was pretty crazy, being very narrow and curvy and steep, driving was pretty chi kek. And mom wouldn't let me drive =(

The big big gigantic waterfall!

There were a handful of other tourists there as well, and some orang asli kids staying on the hills were swimming in the waters. We only dipped our legs in ankle deep. The water was icy cold!

Cousin, aunt and mom

Me, aunt, bro and mom

=)

Mom and I

*sighs*

I could've sat on the stone for hours just breathing in the cool air and watching the water fall from right at the top and into the stream.

But as always, we have to move on.

Everything on the hill seems to be larger.

Or maybe its my bro whom's tiny.


We continued our journey uphill, until we spotted a dam and stopped to see see.

The dam

This is one of the high-end hotels up here, love the English style. Must stay here someday.

Cousin and my bro aka poser

3/7 of the Chong family =)

My favouritest flower!

绣 球 花 in Chinese.

Don't know whats its English name though, lazy to find out heheh.

The reason why I love Cameron, besides the weather and the scenery of course:

The F L O W E R S

The Chong brothers. The youngest of us all is on the right, exactly 12 years younger than me, which makes him also a horsey.

Our first stop when we reached Tanah Rata, the forgot what tea plantation.

Green green green everywhere!

Tea leaves like to camwhore too XD

Some of the third generation

I was the only girl of our generation there, as usual.

Poser brother again

The youngest two, at Cactus Valley

Rare flower! =D
I obviously do not know what its called heheh

Not very visible, but those up there in the pots are strawberry plants.

Those planted below the strawberries are Parsley.

Planting greens the modern way, using only water, without any soil.

Big fat red juicy tomatoes!

Cactus, duh

The carnivorous plant hehee.

Sorry I'm lousy with names.

Especially names of plants =___=

Mom and big huge cactus

Me and many tiny cacti

We had to walk up a very steep hill to the parking lot at the Cactus Valley, and when we finally reached, my mom suggested we do this:

Kodak moment! Lolz..

At the market, hunting for fresh veggies and cheaper strawberries.

This time round we went against family tradition of playing cards during every free time. Now it's the cube thing, thanks to Wen.

The cubemaster and his cube

The boys at the corridor of the apartment

We stayed at Carnation Park apartment, which looked pretty run down from the outside but quite cosy inside. It has 3 rooms, and though small it was just enough to fit all 11 of us. No air con though, not even a fan, but there was no need for those as we were already shivering in our jackets.

This was the better tea plantation - the BOH Tea plantation

A lot bigger, a lot prettier, a lot greener.

This baby here gets free transport all the time. Damn cute right?

Its a monster behind that cute face XD

The cute BOH mascotts

Eldest three of the third generation who went

The way to and from the BOH Tea plantation was the same mountain road, which was super narrow. Lost count of the number of times our heart stopped, especially when big buses came the opposite direction. It was either bang the car or fall off the mountain. Scary sial!

The water cress farm, at the water cress restaurant

It takes two guys twice his size to handle him.
And, he's a poser too.

We were there for just 2 days & 1 night.

Short and sweet.

After all its not about where you go, its about who you go with =)

To the beloved bald, skinny, tall, lame brother/monkey/train:

EXAMS OVER!!!~




Weeeee!!!!



Yaaayyy!!!



Aaaaaaa!!!



*sighs*



Felt damn happy when the clock striked 6.15pm today and the invigilator announced the end of torture for me. It felt something like being closed up in a hole for 40 years and finally being released. Only 100 times better than that.

From that second onwards...


..the sun looked brighter


..the sky looked clearer


..the trees looked greener


..and even the traffic jam didnt seem so tortorous as before.


Well i wasn't the one driving anyway. And its haze period so i must've been hallucinating. Heee.



Special thanks to Thu Yuen and the other senior monkeys for trying your best to leave me to my books. Felt pretty guilty for not being there when I'm supposed to be there. But I did enjoy the "break" to be honest, hehe.




My happiness was so short-lived. My declaration of independence seem so faraway now, although it was just hmm, few hours ago. Rest In Peace, darling.



You can't blame me for being so fed up. I know you're fed up too and you understand and I understand and I dont blame you. Maybe I just need to go and sleep. And wish everything will be solved by itself or disappear or be far far faraway from me.



And now, holidays =)
