Before Wei Jie kills me.....
His lost. I am worth so much more.
2. If you have a dream to come true, what will it be?
Travel the world perhaps. Or maybe just have more hours in a day. There are soooo many things to do.
3.Whose butt would you like to kick?
No one at the moment. No one has pissed me off that much yet.
4. What would you do with a billion dollars?
Many many many things. I can be selfish when necessary.
5.Will you fall in love with your best friend?
I don't know. I honestly don't. But yikes, don't misunderstand. I am straight.
6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?
Both. How can it be one sided? Life is so not worth it that way.
7.How long do you intend to wait for someone you really love?
Not forever and ever if thats what you mean. Maybe in the olden days I would have said that. But if its worth the wait, then a little time won't kill.
8. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?
Get over it as best la. I never did like attached people that way anyway.
9. Is there anything that has made you extremely happy?
Duh. I am easy to please ok. But don't take it for granted :)
10. What takes you down the fastest?
Piles of work.
11. How would you see yourself in ten years time?
Rich..... Yeah. Rich.
12. Who is currently the most important people to you?
God, family, friends
13. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
Sarcasm is one of her middle names. Friendly and in your face attitude works well too :)
14. Have you SMILED today?
Yes. Singing along to Mamma Mia always makes me smile.
15. What's the first thing you do when you wake up?
Switch off the alarm.
16. Would you give your all in a relationship?
Yes. I expect the same in return.
17. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously, who would you pick?
Haha. I'll let you know if I come to that crossroad.
18. Would you forgive and forget no matter how horrible a thing the someone has done?
Forgiving yes. I forgive easily. That doesn't mean I'll forget any faster.
19.Do you prefer being single or having a relationship?
I don't know. I can honestly say that.
20. Do you believe in long distance relationships?
It happens and kudos to those who make it. I'm not sure personally for me though.

Yet another one.
Saturday, August 30, 2008
I just read something. I hope it wasn't aimed at me or anything.
I do try. But life isn't always free and easy like it used to be, you know? Where all you did was go to school, came home, sleep, yack on the phone with not a care in the world etc. Life has changed abit since then. Retaining childhood innocence is hard in the world. Too much bad things. But kudos to you people who can see the simpler side of things in bad situation. I do at times :) Life has not turned me bitter.
I digress easily. Teehee. Sorry. Where was I? Oh right. But sometimes, you have to be in the other's shoes to understand. You can't please the world. You just can't. You'd die trying to anyway. Cause you'll be living a life to please others and not yourself when really, don't you deserve better than living for others? It's not like they were living for you anyway.
Too bad if they don't understand. It's not your fault really.
If this is a hurdle to make you understand, bring it on. But don't ever say I didn't try.

Mandarin test this Friday. She just might fail this one. :(
2 mid terms next week.
2 heavy assignments due the following week. One of which she has barely started. Not that the other is way ahead.
Add in the fact she has been snacking non stop. Stress. Don't ask. Snacking = gaining weight non stop.
The online website is rejecting her attempts to log in to try the MCQ questions. *ajfkfbiwbwibwicb##djfb*
Oh Lord.If even there was a time to answer her prayers, let it be now.
She is going to weep now.
Bless you!
p.s.: She is soooo happy her friends are doing well and are happy. They deserve it. Muax muax!

University applications make me all sad inside.
Siggh. I'm so weird.
Anyway, short update. Not happy news.
Had a bad day yesterday.
You wanna slap me?
Even after I don't talk during your lectures and sit in front so I won't fall asleep and only talk during break time? Just because I talked a bit loudly during break? FYI, I wasn't the only person talking. I'm also NEVER late to lectures unlike you. A person has to let out SOME noise during your insanely boring talk. So I did it during break. Fine then. When I get that HD for your unit, I'll slap you with it.
So pissed.

Oh the pain...
Tuesday, July 29, 2008
My thighs are blardy aching :(
After 2 months a few months of not going to the gym, I've become soooo flabby and lazy. My stamina, I think, has dropped to -1.
Yesterday, because I was to lazy to study, I decided to head to the gym in my condo. The workout actually felt good and it somehow give me the urge to start exercising again. This morning, my legs were aching already. And I STILL pushed myself to workout. Now I'm paying the price.
Its sooo painful I just want to lie in bed all day and read a good book.
But I haven't done my homework and assignments. Plus I have 3 lectures tomorrow to read up on.
I want to go OUT!
**
I want to see my babes :( I miss them already. And 2 of them have left for Australia. 4 months before they come back. Can't wait.... :( :(
Something to look forward to this Friday at least:D Adeline Heng, I'm comingggggg :)

Something has come over me. I suddenly have the urge to try out Latin dancing. Classes are offered at Monash this sem :) But I still don't want to be the only nutcase there stepping on everyone's feet.

Nothing much to update these days. If I gave you my daily routine, you'd be asleep in the next 10 seconds of reading.
I didn't get to play paintball during my hols. Sad. Oh well. Another time then.
Friends are leaving for Aussie soon :( Didn't have enough time to spend with them la..
My YSD scholarship interview was okay. It was only the 1st stage. Praying for the best and leaving it to Him. Its best not to expect anything and you just might get it ;) Makes it feel sweeter. Met some really nice people there and even some old friends! Small world we live in.
Sometimes when we least expect it, small things happen to brighten our day :D
That last sentence was just for me to understand :)
I have a presentation in a few hours so going to practice more now. Will update later if I feel like it and lately, there hasn't been much motivation to blog about much. I think I'm beginning to see how dull my life is at the moment.
Till then, have a great week people ;D

Will be selling them off second hand if anyone is interested.

3.Are you in love?
I doubt so.
4.If you have a dream come true..

God, family, friends in that precise order.

Since I have been so bored at home, I did a manicure.
I know it doesn't look as good as those professionals outside can make them look but I think they look pretty good for an amateur. Besides, I wouldn't part with my money to get my nails done. I never really cared much for my nails.
Being at home with abundant free time, I decided to do something with them lor. I've always loved the French manicure. What d'ya think?****************

Oh here she is.
The test is oh, 8 hours away and instead of cramming like she should, she's busy blogging, blog hopping, facebooking, waching Ever After AGAIN, and God knows what else.
Screwed is what she is.
Then again, she never was one to function without pressure.
Sigh. The holidays have left her feeling like the world is all fun and games. And when she heads back for semester 2, she would probably be feeling as if she were floating on clouds again.
Oh the irony. Wait till she screws up something big time and then she starts to get her ass back on track. Why does she do it? Oh cause maybe she still hasn't learned her lesson.
And she always says she does.
Typing this makes her wonder why she even bothers to stress later and regret her wise decisions.
Okay okay. Now she feels a little guilty and will start cramming now. She does have SOME conscience of right or wrong.
Screwed is what she is.

She's 18 today.
And to think I only got to know her better in our upper secondary years. Like seriously. And I've known who she was for her brightness all through primary and secondary school.
NOW. I know way more than that. And I'm glad :)
NOW. Oh she is one girl you can't miss getting to know. You JUST can't.
Teehee.
Yup, and oh sooooooooo single :) (She's gonna kill me for this) :PDid I mention her infectious laughter. It's her trademark. You can hear her a mile away. And you don't even have to try :D
Anyway, HAPPPY BLESSED 18TH GERMAE!!!

The little girl and the old man.
Sunday, April 13, 2008
The little girl sat at the table. Waiting for the food to arrive. Surrounded by family and love, she really couldn't ask for more.
But she did, you see. Always complaining about not getting enough of almost everything. Silently, she complained. Not getting enough pocket money. She was never satisfied with the way she looked. The good food and soft bed she came home to everyday. Her education, she sometimes took for granted by lazing around and never really taking the time to be serious. Yes. So every now and then she had a complain. Albeit small, but still a complain nonetheless.
The food came.
Way too much food for such a small family. But it has always been that way. The family never lacked food. It almost always came to a point when they had to pack the food.
She started to eat the good food laid out before her. Oh how she enjoyed it. Maybe not as much as she should have enjoyed it because she was so accustomed to good food.
"Here, eat this", said daddy.
"Here, have some of this", said mummy.
"Enough daddy! I'm so full, I'm forcing myself to eat this", said the little girl.
"Enough mummy, you eat it", said the little girl.
"We always order too much food", the little girl thought silently. Indeed they always did.
After the whole family was full with the good food, they sat at the table making small talk. Laughing at each other.
An old man walked in the restaurant at that moment. He was not very old. But old enough to be considered old. Wearing an old worn out shirt, a sarong and a pair of slippers, he obviously did not look very well off.
The little girl saw the old man walk around the restaurant. Nobody paid attention to him. A poor old man never receives much these days. The girl saw the old man search his wallet and pull out a few dollar notes. He counted them. Then looked at the prices of the food items on display.
Finally, he went to the counter to place his order. The girl was curious as to what he ordered knowing that the food in the restaurant was not cheap at all.
The old man sat at the next table. Alone.
The little girl and her family got up to leave the place. As she was leaving, she saw what the old man ordered.
What she saw, she will never forget.
The old man, probably not being able to afford most of the food on the menu, only ordered a plate of white rice and some curry on it. No side orders. No vegetables or even a piece of chicken or an egg.
And only moments ago she was complaining about the excess food she was always given.
It took an old man with his plate of white rice to show this small girl how fortunate she was. To be able to order the food she desired and get almost everything she wanted.
A lessoned learned through the life of another. Priceless.

Monash Cultural Night '08
Sunday, April 06, 2008
Apparently, the Monash Cultural Night is the biggest social event in the Monash student calender. This event is organised by MUISS (Monash University International Student Services) every year. Guess it still takes international students to show us a good time huh? Oh well. We'll get there. Malaysia Boleh, right? For the record, the emcees who were Malaysians except for one were not too bad. At least they looked good. Anyway, I'll leave the pics to do the talking. Did not take too many pics as my cam was kinda full. Check out Facebook for more.
I had a great time minus the bad organising of food. Of course I was with my babes. Yeah and someone couldn't make it. For the record, there were TONS of cute guys :) Just didn't manage to snap their pics for you :(
In advance, I'm sorry for the bad pics. I've never been handy taking pictures when people are moving :(
Theme was Colours of the World.Awesome light show to get the crowd in the mood.
Dikir Barat. Malaysian performance with drums, clapping and singing.
Shoro Ritu. Traditional dance from Bangladesh.
OOOO.These girls were hot. Obviously they were working the crowd. Folk dance from Bangladesh.
Flavours of India. An Indian contemporary dance. They were one of the highlights of the night.
London School of Economics. No joking. Thats the band's name. Maybe they are all aiming to go there. They weren't half bad la.
Capoeira School. Brazilian blend of martial arts and dance. They were so fast my cam just couldn't take much more :(
Indonesian Youth Society. Saman dance from Indonesia.
Shradda. Singer who sang in Spanish.
Haha. Now here's a story. Albeit a little inconsequential for those who don't know him. He used to be my ex-school mate. But he probably doesn't remember me. I was never one of the popular kids and he was. So yeah, we never knew he had a voice and I seriously remember his voice as whiny. Surprisingly, he was not half bad. And he looks better since the last time I saw him. Oh, he's Aiman Hakim btw for those not from SS17.
Camwhore time!!! Mae, Lene, Me.
Mae and Lene.
Them again. I so nice la.
Mae, Me, Lene.
Evelyn and I.
Lene and I.
Ok ok. Sorry for the blurry pics and all. And there were seriously waaaay more performances than that. I was just tooo lazy to snap. I just enjoyed myself :D I paid for it! And I didn't even get my food :( Oh well. There was a great fashion show as well. Yup, no pics of that either. Will try to get them from friends later. The best performance went to a Persian band called Guitaraf. The international kids sure know how to liven things up :) Kudos to them for trying to fit in. And give US Malaysians a swell time as well. By the time I left, I was dead tired and half deaf because of all the screaming and cat calls. Yes, all the hot girls get all the attention. And people like me get the pain in the ears :(
Anyway, I had a great time with great friends and company.

God works in such mysterious ways its amazing.
After 2 weeks of fretting about my missing file, I found it right back where it was when I apparently lost it. Right on my desk. In the same classroom. Like it was never touched. I was beyond wondering how it could still be there. Honestly, I gave up all hope that I would find it. Today I went to class and saw it there. Even my gladness at seeing it had diminished. But I really am glad I found it now :)
Currently litening to The Click Five - Empty. Yea I know you aren't interested to know. Yes I am fickle and have changed from constantly listening to The Fray to numerous songs now. The Fray reminds me too much of Grey's so I try not to listen to it too much :)
Happy April Fool's Day. Not like you or I celebrate it. This day used to hold so much fun and laughter when I was younger and actually took the liberty to play childish pranks on friends and siblings. Today I would not have remembered it if not for the radio. I just assumed it was like any other day. Much like everything in life, the childhood innocence of an extra fun April Fools Day has lessened in years. Sometimes, a small prank can be quite useful in the life of a stressed out uni student. Reminds you of the time when you took such delights in it. Now you just brush away and grumble when you think of it or if someone plays a harmless one on you.
Yup, my sis played one on me. The old "there's something in you hair" trick. Yes, stop rolling your eyes. I fell for it. But just for that few seconds it was like being her age again. It felt quite nice. Then I smacked her for it :D
Till next time.
XOXO,
Sara

I confess: Grey's Anatomy is addictive.
Wednesday, March 26, 2008
Current addiction:
GREY'S ANATOMY!
Every time I hear the song How To Save A Life from The Fray now, I have this urge to watch Season 1 of Grey's again.
She is only watching it now??!
I know la. I am soooooooo ketinggalan. I am only in Season 2 of Grey's. I started watching...... about a week ago after I downloaded the first episode of season 1. Now I'm hooked. It's such a hit in the States and Malaysia. I can't WON'T follow the one on Star World because I refuse to know what happens in Season 3 or 4. No idea which season is showing on Star World now.
The plot is awesome. Those who watch it would agree. I think if I had started watching it way earlier when it first came out, I would have wanted to be a surgeon :) After a few episodes of drooling over hot doctors and being amazed by all the surgeries and medical terms, I realize its TV. No way are there such things in reality. Reality checks suck sometimes. So yes, I am still a business student attempting to survive my uni years. Besides, I can still do my part for society even if I can't save lives THAT way.
How To Save A Life is currently on playback mode on my lappy until I get bored of it.
Every now and then I will go to my bro's comp to see if I can some how download the next episode from season 2. Most of the time I can't because other people did not upload it :( Maybe its a sign that I really should not get hooked now :( :(
Still listening to The Fray and wishing I can laze around and watch Grey's all day.
This can't be good :(

The Case Of The Missing File.
Sigh. There has to be a reason I keep losing things. Now that I'm in Monash, I've lost more bottles than I can count. Reason is because no one reminds me anymore :( Haha. Ex-classmates new I was infamous for leaving my bottle everywhere.
Recently, I lost my file. Not lost it per say. I just have NO IDEA where it disappeared too! I brought it to my last class on Tuesday and I know I did because I took out some articles from it. Then I went home straight after that last class. When I reached home, I realise I didn't have it :(
I mean, logically there could only be 2 reasons. One, I left it in class. But if I did, friends would have told me! So I am pretty sure I did not leave it there. Not THAT blind you know. I only have one desk. I didn't even stop anywhere after class and went straight home. Two, one of my tute mates accidentally took it. My group members were sitting nearest to me so I assumed and prayed hard they took it as I smsed them that night. Eeek. None of them did. OMG. I have no idea where it could have gone. Sigh. Got some important papers in there ler.
Oh God. Please let me find it ASAP.

When She Leaves Her Pendrive In The Library
Wednesday, March 12, 2008
I seriously hope I don't pass any of my stupidity genes to my children.
Not saying that I gained stupidity genes. Cause I believe that no one is stupid. Slow, yes. Not stupid. I believe stupidity is self taught. So how do one I pass it on? In my case, it (lack of using the grey matter/stupidity) sometimes becomes too much that it stays in my DNA and somehow becomes embedded. And THEN it passes on.
Aiyoh, I'm just BSing here la. Ignore what I just said. You'll probably fail Biology if you believe me.
I STILL don't want to pass on the genes.
UPDATEEEEE! (13/3)
Some kind soul took my pendrive to the lost and found department in the library. I was doing cartwheels inside when I saw my pendrive. I literally had nightmares last night :(

One Life Revolution
One Life Revolution (OLR) is a unique walk through experiential exhibit and the 1st time held in Malaysia. One Life Revolution is an interactive experience that lets people "walk in the shoes" of others who have suffered the plight of social injustice. The life-size exhibit gives people the opportunity to have a direct encounter of someone else's life as they struggle to cope with HIV/AIDS and living in harsh conditionsprone to child trafficking.
The OLR was originally birth by World Vision US in 2005 and due to the overwhelming response, World Vision offices outside the United Stateshave mounted and/or are mounting similar OLR exhibitions in their respective countries : - Canada, New Zealand, Korea, Japan, Australia, Singapore and Malaysia.
OLR is basically a public awareness and advocacy campaign. The exhibit aims to raise awareness, among Malaysians, of the plight of children affected by HIV/AIDS and child trafficking. It is hoped that having "walked in the shoes" of the children featured, visitors would develop a sense of compassion and be challenged to help those affected in various capacities.
- Source: forwarded email.
I'm volunteering for this campaign. Simple jobs like ushering. Because I do have this feeling that I can make a difference even if I am only contributing my time :) Do come and visit it if you can, though I doubt many of you will since its in Monash campus and its during college hours. I'll be volunteering in Monash on 5th March.
But they have an exhibition in Mid Valley.
Date: 15th till the 16th of March.
Time: 10 am - 10pm.
Do try to visit it :D Admission is free ;) It only takes a few minutes of your time to change your perspective on life.

A new love for the season.
David Archuleta :D Such a cutie la. Who wouldn't like him? And he sings!! Ahhh. I do hope he does well. Even if he doesn't win, I'm pretty sure he'll have a record. The next Chris Daughtry. Anyway, the only drawback is he's too young for me :( Haha. You never know :)
Michael Johns. Aiyah sooooo hot la. His voice. Enough said.
Jason Castro. He surprised me. I guess he wasn't very well known since he didn't get as much screen time in the previous episodes like David and Michael but I think he's really good too. Dreadlocks suit him soooo well :)

Relief.
Friday, February 15, 2008
Well. Its over. Teaching that is.
Yup. Today is officially my last day of being a substitute teacher. My current mood? HUMONGOUS, GIGANDO RELIEF.
I don't think I'm quite there yet when it comes to teaching kids. Teaching is fine, don't get me wrong. I don't mind teaching. Its more of controlling the kids that I have a problem with. Young and boisterous. That really shoould be the defination for kids. Either that or time sure has changed since I was a kid.
I feel mean now. I really hope they get a strict replacement teacher. At least then she would be able to control them. REALLY control them. Maybe then they'll see how good they got it when I was teaching. I was too nice to them. Sometimes I wished I was stricter. But when they are so darn adorable its abit hard. Honestly, it was getting to the point where I just felt like slapping them. Rude and obnoxious they were to me. GGGRRR. So honestly, a strict teacher would benefit them because they will study as well as learn when to shut it when asked too. These rants only relate to the standard 3 students. Standard 5 kids were okay. When I have kids, I'll teach them manners till they become the epitome of a gentleman or lady :D
Sometimes.
Other than that, I really had no complains working there. The other teachers were good to me and thats all I could really ask for. One of my exteachers came up to me one day.
Teacher H: Sara, now you know how I feel. *Gives me that been- there-done-that smile*
Mua: I sure do. But I did your work :D
Teacher H: *Laughs*
Anyhow, I survived. But I doubt if I stayed longer I would have survived. Strange as it may seem, I just might miss them. The kids.
Back to being a college student next week :)

Ang Pows and Yee Sang
Sunday, February 10, 2008
You know (you probably don't), I never really loved CNY. I mean, mum tells me all these stories bout how they used to wait all year to collect ang pows, the good food and new clothes they receive for CNY.
Since I get an allowance, get good food and clothes all year round, I never really saw whats so great about CNY. Kids these days are sooo spoiled :)
Oh wait. I love collecting ang pows :) And Yee Sang :D
But really, thats about it. I hate CNY shopping. I mean the amount of people shoving around for clothes and throwing them on the floor (wait, I guess all shopping is like that) is absurd. You'd think they never saw clothes in their life. No matter. I like shopping when there is a HUGE sale and no one is there but me. Unrealistic, but if I become famous enough, people will close their shops for me. Some day.
I hate the hike in prices on almost every food item. I hated the long jams on the road when I used to travel back to Penang. Don't get me wrong, I loved to visit my grandma (maybe love is to strong a word. LIKED. Sounds better) but we never spoke more than 10 words before. Language barrier. Bet she understands me now :) Anyway, I don't travel back during CNY.
I don't like all the chinese music that radio stations and departmental stores feel the obligation to blare during this season. Horrible person right? But thats just how I feel.
So yeah, basically all I like bout CNY are the ang pows and yee sang.
p.s : Invite me for gambling :)

Sweeney Todd was bloody. Not as in bloody good. Just... BLOODY. Gore and all.
I never thought I would come out feeling less than ecstatic about a Johnny Depp show but this has got to be the first. And I wanted to bring my sis to the show :( It wasn't per say, a bad movie. I love musicals and all and it wasn't bad actually. Just not what I expected.
I didn't expect decapitation of that many a time. Although it was a dark comedy, I didn't quite expect that much darkness in the film and I could barely stomach all that blood. However fake it was. Too dark, too bloody, too much slicing. However, I do give Johnny props. He is one versatile actor.
Haha. But I think I handled it wayyyy better than my companions for the day :)
Sorry guys! Thanks for going with me just because I liked Johnny but you came out sicker than a dog :(

Rants for the day
Wednesday, January 23, 2008
Teaching can be soooo exasperating. I doubt I was that naughty when I was 9. Ugh.
They're good kids. But they are so mischievous to the point where I feel like pulling my hair out and start screaming like a regular 19 year old. But I can't, you see. Gah. If I had my way, I would give them a good shake. That way, they'll listen a little bit more and I'll get fired that much sooner too. But deep, deep, deeeeeeeeep down they are good kids. They just need a little........ shake.
Seriously, besides the fact that some of them don't listen to me and don't do my work, they are sweet. Always saying hi, always willing to carry my books no matter how little I have(without me having to ask, and constantly BEGGING to carry my books), AND they even gave me birthday presents already. Even though my birthday is a month away, they knew I won't be here till then so they surprised me with gifts already. Sweet kids. All that's lacking is a little more discipline and longer attention span and they would be the perfect bunch to teach.
I'm not complaining whatsoever (well, maybe a little. But just a little). Its not so bad really. They adore me when they aren't torturing me :)
PS: I still haven't had the chance to watch Atonement. And there are great reviews online. James McAvoy = lustworthy. Sigh. I think they stopped showing it in the cinema already. Anyway, gonna catch Sweeney Todd this friday. I neeeed my movie fix la. Its been ages since I last entered the cinema.
