This Chinese New Year was a good one, except for the portfolios included during the holidays....so the result was 4 days of chinese new year and other days of portfolios. Initially planned to do 5 portfolios during the holiday mana tahu only managed to do 3...sigh...but not totally finished also...double sigh…still got additional learning that needed to be solved.

During this Chinese New Year, went to grannies place in KL and Melaka and a grandaunty’s place in Cheras. Of course eat a lot of rubbish there also. Manage to eat and the triangle cookie(forgot the name already). A must during any holiday is the chocolate. Manage to eat Thorton and long-time-not-eaten Malaysian chocolate!  Certainly not forgetting is the ang pau. Never go out that much during the CNY except that went to BTS during the holidays due to stress from the portfolios and never went there before. Never went back hometown though because every relative is in KL and Melaka.

 There was only one question posed to me by my aunties and uncles… "found a boyfriend already or not?"…though instincts is telling me that the question will be repeated throughout the whole year and years to come if I do not find one. And the funniest thing is that those questions were not posed by my parents but mainly relatives and aunties with uncles of course. Then the next thing that they expect is that “Remember to bring him to visit me ah! Ah Yi (or Ah Gu or Yi Po) want to see him!”…what a great thing to greet me when I step into the house after greeting happy Chinese New Year. Very stressful…he he he…have to find one now?!…couldn’t care that much for now since still studying.

            The next common phrase was   “wah, thin already….” The next phrase was different in some people though.  They are “how come you are growing thinner but this cousin of yours is growing fatter”, “so, have you reached the target weight yet?” and “why are you growing thinner? No food is it?”…though the last question was the one that triggered me the most. The common reason that I gave was because the food in the canteen was edible but not appetizing…which was so very true. Which leads to putting a bit more weight during this holiday. So how grow fat already…have to be on the diet again! But I guess do not need to because of all the stress will cause me to reduce again….sounds like so stupid …asking and answering my own question...ha ha ha.

              Saw this niece….yeah already an aunty…feels old, I know…ask her to call me aunty also do not want…so bad…but she sounded so cute… like those high pitch but soft voice…but very adamant…guess that I was not always there to accompany her… so may be she felt like a stranger with me.. anyway, had this prayers at night at granny’s place at midnight… very ‘mar fan’ and sad because last day of holiday already! Had “lou yee sang” that night also! Had fun to lou it but eating the salmon was not so nice because the fish was not fresh!....the next sad thing was to actually be on the way back to condo already which was around 2.00 a.m.. Somehow I was very much awake and could not sleep that much either because had class at 9.00 morning...one thing that I managed to do was to have a lot of rubbish with me! That is the happy ending! Well that much to write, nothing else to say already!. So long

Now listening to David Tao in the MP3 (present from friends). ....Now still typing the portfolio about HIV. The pictures are sometimes vivid and morbid... appetite suppressed when see the picture.... not that nice to feel. but anyway, still got 8 more portfolios to go..

         One lecturer once said that one must face challenges happily and positively...and it is actually very true. For the whole of last semester, i had the thinking that 'OK. just get through this and you will be very happy'. but then this kind of thinking actually got me into a worse state. In fact it was quite depressing to pass through that semester because it was like hell. Although i managed to to go out or go back to my hometown, there was always dissatisfaction. Moreover, nothingelse that one do can actually reduce the sickening state. Very depressing......

         Then came this semester.... everything was the same except with the thinking to happily pass through this semester and being more experience about love and life though it was not that i managed to fall in love already. With this thinking, it was more of being happy and satisfied. The idea of being able live a happier life although it was always studying only is not bad actually. It was more of the book teaching one more valuable things than lecturers and being able to comprehend whatever the book is trying to tell one. ..................So the lesson of the day was to look at everything positively and you can be very happy  and of course with a bit of luck and prayers.

       One matter from the net:

Subject: Fw: Security in KLCC Tower getting worst.
Date: Thu, 1 Dec 2005 10:03:17 +0800

 This is true experience. This message was passed to us with the consent of the victim.

       Yesterday evening, one of our staff wives arrived with their child to do some shopping together with the husband in KLCC. After they have finished shopping, they have to go home in separate car because they came in with 2 cars. The child followed the father car and the wife parked at level P2. When the wife wanted to pay for the parking, she found out she has lost the ticket. The parking attendant asked her to go to KLCC Parking Office.
      So she goes to the office hoping to get some help. At the KLCC Parking Office, one parking attendant said she has to go to KLCC Security office. He offered to take her a ride on his motorbike, but she refused and follows his bike behind in the kancil. He took her to P1 and then they reach a narrow alley where the car could not go through. He then asked her to ride on his motorbike instead and leave her car behind. At the end of the alley, there were 3 GUYS waiting for them, all of them dressed in neat uniform, they tried to gang rape her.
      But fortunately, with the strength from the God, she managed to kick one of them where it HURT the most and ran away as fast as she could. She went up to the place where most of the shoppers around and she
could think of - Picnic Court.  Because her hubby does not own a hand phone, she had to wait for him to reach home before she could contact him.  She called him up later and asked him to come and fetch her. She dare not report this occurrence to any KLCC security guard.  She does not TRUST them any longer. (I won't to,given the same situation)
      They reported the incidence to the police. Then the police called her up again to identify the personnel. But due the shock and trauma, she could not recognize them. All of them were wearing cap at that time. There were 4 Malays guy all together.

- 1 wearing a light yellow top with  dark blue bottom (KLCC parking maintenance)
- 2 wearing white tops with dark bottom (parking attendant

- 1 wearing a light brown top with dark bottom (KLCC Suriaparking and Park security  guard)

According to the police, countless incidences of gang rape happen  herein KLCC. And they suspected that it is an inside job. The staff's wife wishes all women staff of Petronas to be careful in the future especially in the parking area and toilets, this goes for the men as well. Please warn your wife/family or friends.

This happened yesterday right after dinner. It all started with the RTM 1 and animated movie "Kluang man ". Yew Wen said about the cartoon said with the mouth moving like this...hand showing the palms together opening and closing with the wrist locked together. It was funny. Jackie then said that if malaysia animated cartoons can do that is very good already...(mouth smiling and clapped hands).Guess that it was true. But after that Yew Wen asked is the cartoon on TV 1 some more. Nobody answered. Jackie then said about the another cartoon having a character with hair that spirals to the top...(hand showing the spiral motion). I just started laughing and could not stop. The next thing i know was that HL, Jackie and Yew Wen saw me and laughed. But the next moment i see them laughing, i could not stop laughing again. So the laughing problem continued until i felt pain in the stomach....like stomach contracting and could not relax ( like tetanus or muscle cramp). So there was no time for the stomach to relax. What was worse was that tears were coming out from the tear duct. I then suddenly said pain le. They then asked where. I said my stomach but because of laughing..... and then continued laughing because cannot stop anymore. Not only that, i was utterly seeing the floor and not looking up at all. Jackie kept on saying control. but the more he said those words, the laughing problem just got worse. Sigh. Sad case. After don't know what and why the laugh just stopped. So we went out of Cinta Ria. Just a few steps after that,  the laughing problem continued. And it continued all the way to library. Had to be quiet in the library, so , i managed to keep still only for some time. Suddenly started laughing again because of nothing also...HL saw me laughing, i just could not help it but continue laughing. Had to go to the couch to be quiet. Almost 9.00, the laughing problem went away.

Sigh...that was the first time laughing like that since 2 years ago. Two years ago in a camp, i just can laugh at 11.00pm sharp. That time was worse because i laughed until i fall to the ground and can continue laughing for almost an hour. Although i don't know what caused me to laugh. Besides that, friends around me also made me laugh some more. Sigh...miss the good old days of laughing....It was supremely fun. Hope that it would happen again. It felt good to able to laugh like that, felt like the stress just went away and like on cloud 9 also. it was a good sign that i have regain to my old self again. However, there was not much laughter today.

Today in Malaysian studies, teacher  said.....

"introducing Bali.....it is a magnificent site to see men rubbbing the cock on the roadside, massaging the cock by the roadside and also washing the cock by the roadside..."and that was written in a Malaysian magazine about cock-fighting.

Another email received about what are you going to say to the taxi driver:

Well this is a new year already, new resolution was made and hopefully I can keep the promises well enough. Apart from that, spring cleaning is needed and did well. In the process, saw old pictures in the album and had the feeling of missing old buddies already. However already in this “pitiful” university I managed to get a bunch of ‘tin tin’ friends to mix and laugh almost daily. Thanks to them, I don’t feel that lonely in this miserable uni. In a way this is a great help to remove the unhappiness away. Well I guess some things do come and go easily but some don’t…

            Does someone who come and ask you questions about your studies means that that person likes you? the question are very much only related to the work only and nothing else and people can just interpret it as liking you…that is certainly very funny because isn’t that if a person really like you or love you would ask more than work, eg. health, life and other things that make a man? And that is not all. When the person was to come, it would feel like telling the person to ask the question fast and go off. It was not willing to let the person stay there long. Well, that would tell someone or even everyone that there is no feeling in there for sure. However it would usually be misunderstood by many others.

Why are human such a difficult people to deal with?  Some people just enter your life and leave quietly. Some people just enter your life and make a mess out of it and then leave you to nothing but worries and more worries. Just because someone is always thinking of another person doesn’t make that someone loves another person, right? I mean one can think of what one want to think and one do have a choice to think or not to think. Also it is a choice whether to love the person or not. So why is it that people can be so immature and not think of all the valid reasons to think correctly? Isn’t it an accomplishment that one is able to travel to many places, have a great family, living in a house filled with love and care and so many other blessings of life? How many is able to do it? And still there is someone out there just feel like doing something that is against this great beautiful life!

Well I can only think of that much to write and nothing more. To the sem 1s, wish you luck in the exams coming up. To others happy new year and gambate to survive in this funny and yet weird world.
