That's The Way It Is


Inspirational song from Celine Dion. All her songs are truly songs of life that touch every single perspective of it. Take note of the lyrics. I find them so true, always. :)

That's The Way It Is

I can read your mind and I know your story
I see what you're going through
It's an uphill climb, and I'm feeling sorry
But I know it will come to you

Don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

When you question me for a simple answer
I don't know what to say, no
But it's plain to see, if you stick together
You're gonna find a way, yeah

So don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

When life is empty with no tomorrow
And loneliness starts to call
Baby, don't worry, forget your sorrow
'Cause love's gonna conquer it all, all


When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

That's the way it is
That's the way it is, babe
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is.

************************************

I start to realise everything in my life happens for a reason.

I detest the hardship, obstacles and sadness that come into my life. Everyone does.

There are always something good come out from it. I just realise about it, today.

Those are the elements that add joys, erase the sorrow in me.

Guess life works this way.

That's the way it is.

I shall love my life for what it is, not to hate for what it is not. =)

Exam Fever

It is towards the end of my exam week. Two more papers to go and I am done. Finally, I have past through the most critical moment of the week, Physics and Chemistry paper. Really can relax myself a bit after this eventhough the exam fever is on. At least for the next papers, I don't have to stay awake whole night like I am used to do.

Anyway, hope that my sleepless nights, gastric attack due to skipping lunch, and almost dehydration that I have had all these while would pay off.

I sound so stress over the final exam! :)

Celine Dion and R. Kelly say,

I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I'll hear your voices when you call me
I am your angel
And when all hope is gone, I'm here
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are
I am your angel
I'm your angel


You are my angel.

*************************************

EE Cummings says,

I carry your heart with me.
I carry it in my heart.
I am never without it.
Anywhere I go, you go, my dear.
And whatever is done by only me, is your doing, my darling.
I fear no fate,
for you are my fate, my sweet.
I want no world.
For beautiful, you are my world… my true.
Here is the deepest secret no one knows.
Here is the root of the root
And the bud of the bud.
And the sky of the sky of a tree called life
Which grows higher than the soul can hope
Or mine can hide.
It’s the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart.
I carry your heart.
I carry it in my heart

There is a distance between us
but not our heart because
true friends will never be apart.
And,
I will always carry your heart with me.
=)

*************************************
Lately I was a bit emo. Not the final exam get me stressed up. May be a bit. I think I have pushed myself too hard. Anyway, wish me luck next Monday.
Guess I just miss someone. :)

Random Emotion


It is already Friday and about two hours to go will be Saturday. The study week almost reaches its end and at the mean time, dateline is getting closer and closer. Yet, I haven't fully prepared for my final exam. To be frank, I did plan for my study schedule perfectly as I can catch up with every subject. But, there is always unforeseen circumstances that keep on ruining everything.

And, I am not really in the mood of studying, right at this moment. Actually, I have planned to study the freaking hard Organic Chemistry for today. Somehow, I woke up late. One thing. At IRC, since I brought my laptop along so-called to revise using lecture slides, but ending up glued my eyes onto Facebook and blog. That is another thing. Lose my concentration for the day. To make it short, I didn't study anything at all. All I have done just crapping around, hanging around, dreaming around. Just like a lifeless people who has nothing better to do but to disturb people. Sound so immature and childish, am I? Well, I am just being me. Or am I? I am not so sure either. I find myself so complicated to be intepreted by others, including myself.

Lots of things happen lately. Yesterday, one of my juniors (I don't know and never see him though) has passed away due to cardial attack after playing football with his friends late evening. I feel so bad for him. I mean, his has just started his Uni life this semester and so unfortunate it has to end this way. Let mourn for him for a while. Lets the Almighty God bless his soul in heaven.

Last night, Mommy called me that she was admitted to emergency ward. No big deal though. May be it was. She has sudden breathing difficulty and consequently, I guess she was freaked out and so, her heart was pounding too fast and lead to high blood pressure. She is doing fine now. Doctor has prescribed her to consume daily medicine to ease her high blood pressure. Don't worry so much, Mommy. Just relax and have a good rest, always.

Back to me, I have nothing to share. I don't know what to say but as said earlier, things just happen and get me so emotional right now, for the past few days. I am sure I have done nothing wrong but it can be due to anything. Speechless. Motionless. Lifeles. Meaningless. Just some random words that popped into my mind. Yes, random.

I should be strong enough to bear with this. I can pretend but how long will this last, I wonder. Too sad that this life will never be a fairy tale, may be to me. Guess I think too much right now. Anyway, I am going to be fine.

First Encounter With Justin Wai Khan

Today, I mean, yesterday. Okay, to make everything easy, it was on Sunday, 16 November 2008 since I made this post quite late. I hope I have made it clear with the day. =.=

I have a day out, again. Since last 2 weeks I have been going to Ipoh consecutively during weekends. This time I went with Yi Herng, Ahkar, Tidha and To (3 Myanmar buddies, sorry if there is any misspelling in names). And yes, needless to say we used bus. We went to Ipoh Parade and Jusco.

The Myanmar buddies were going there to buy some stuff back to their country. As for me and Yi Herng; Well, I think I better put it this ways: Yi Herng is going to meet his high school friends and me, is looking forward to meet my online-met friend, none other than Justin Wai Khan. Perhaps some of you may know him already since he has tagged me quite a number of times before.

Well, upon reaching Ipoh Parade, 5 of us went to Kopitiam to have our lunch first as waiting for Justin to show up at 12.15pm. It was 11.45 when we were having our lunch. Frankly, I was lazy to upload the photos of the food but they insisted, I mean, Yi Herng and Myanmar's friends. So, here you go.

Black Pepper Chicken Chop
Ice Blended White Coffee
(I don't even know there is such drink. It is nice though)
Later, Justin arrived but we haven't done with our lunch and so, he was waiting at the other side of the shop and to have his order called. When we went look for him, he said we can go out already. How about his order then? He said he just skipped it and go. I hope I get the fact right. =.=

Before I talked more about my first encounter, I would like to talk about our day out first. Well, after the lunch, we just went around the Parade to buy something.

Random pictures of Ipoh Parade



Unfortunately, there was no group photos taken. I was rather sad about it. =(

Then, Ahkar and Tidha, and me get ourselves a necklace. Mine is the one shown below, with my name carved on it. It cost me, RM44.90 in which I declare the SPENDING OF THE DAY... lol.

After loitering about for few hours, we went to Medan Gopeng for me to buy bus ticket. Justin drove us there. Thanks for the ride, Justin!

Well, later, we planned to go to Jusco. Actually, our Myanmese friends and myself planned to look for barber shop to have our hair cut. But when we were in Parade, the offered price was way too "cheap" just to make our hair short. In the middle of the journey, Yi Herng's mother called him to go back home where she would fetch him at Jusco. And so, Justin just dropped us there. He went home right after that.

Eventually, I was left with Myanmese friends. After shopping at the supermarket, buying some stuff at the book shop, and also, me treating them with Big Apple donuts (in which they told me that they never had them), we went to the barber shop outside Jusco where I used to have my hair cut there. Unfortunately it was closed and coincidentally, the bus arrived as it was 5pm. And so, we get into the bus and left for UTP.

********************************************************

Speaking of my first encounter with Justin, well, I would say it was a bit odd even though we do contact each other through online. As said, it was first time to meet him in real. We hardly talked throughout the day. Thinking of starting a conversation but my mind was just blank. No topic was running in my mind. May be there were but the introvert and shy part of me refraining me from doing so. Darn, I hate this part of me. I am not sure whether this situation is normal though, but the others were just saying, "Yes, it is normal" but I just feel a bit guilty about it as I may not appear as friendly in real compared to myself in the virtual world. Perhaps because of that, he choose to leave after dropping us at Jusco after knowing that Yi Herng won't be joining. It will be, yeah, odd. =.="

Overall, well, he looks exactly the same as in his profile pictures. What I mean is that, some people looks so different in real compared to photos but he is not the case, okay, at least to me. Erm, it is only that he is smaller in size than as I imagined because in the pictures he looks quite a big size eventhough Yi Herng keeps on hinting me that he is short and small. Justin, I hope this doesn't offend you. By the way, Justin, I still remembered that one of your nick name is "cutie" as in your tag post. Frankly, I find that is quite true after meeting you. LOL. =)

********************************************************

To JUSTIN:

Our first encounter may be odd but I won't say it is not a good thing as said, it was our first meet. Anyway, hope that everything will get better in the future so that we can spend more time together to get to know you more. I won't want our friendship to be only in virtual world but also in the real world too. Just stay in touch and enjoy your holidays.

By the way, yes, my hair is long and I really need that hair cut but too expensive lor. And, thanks for your willingness to drive me to Medan Gopeng. I hope I don't trouble you. Really appreciate it. Again, thank you...! :)

Facebook Hater

I was browsing through Innit and find this particular post that is a bit offending. I don't usually dang other bloggers' posts in Innit but I was just really PISSED..

His post.
His Innit post.

I was stunned by the words he used in describing Facebook. I was like WTF. Okay, this really pissed me off because I never used WTF in my post. Hope this will be the first and the last.

Thought of leaving comment anonymously in his post but he didn't allow. Better still, I do it here. So here you go.


******************************************************


He said,
"With that of millions and millions of mother fucking applications, it is somehow getting too crowded. It lags whenever I log into it. It is like what the fuck?!"

I say,
Do you know that you can just delete the applications if you don't bother about them anymore? You need me how to teach you? Just go to the application setting and remove all your applications. If your friends give you any requests on any applications, you can choose to ignore. DO YOU REALISE THAT THERE IS A "IGNORE" BUTTON THERE!? No one says that you will not be friends if you ignore their requests, unless you so-called friends interpret it that way. No hard feeling.


******************************************************


He said,
"....Talking about Facebook popular games, I don't even give a damn on that. I can easily find my own website to download and play online games such as World of Warcraft or Maple. To tell you the truth, I don't play noob games like those in Mofunzone and Miniclip anymore. By the way, if you have interest in playing flash games, which you don't need to download big files, I suggest you to play in Shockwave. We don't freaking need Facebook games!..."

I say,
Same as above. You don't like it, don't add it!


******************************************************


He said,
"Facebook is like plagiarizing Friendster all the way through. For example, why the hell do we need a "wall"? Why don't they name it Comment Box instead? And what the penis head does the Super Poke do? Thats like so lame. Just fuck off and suck all the dicks out there."

I say,
Do you know the real meaning of "comment"? Get your dictionary and find it. In Friendster, your friends don't leave any comments about YOU at all, aren't they? They used the Comment Box to leave any messages as to say Hi or Thanks for the add or Nice to meet you or Thanks for the approve or what so ever? You considered these as comments? Then how about the message services provided there? Yes, I do realise it is quite troublesome to use the message service and so, I myself also using Comment Box. =P

But, what I don't like what you have written is that IS IT A PROBLEM FOR YOU IF FACEBOOK USED THE TERM, " WALL"? It is just a metaphor. You can drop by and leave your messages at your friends' profiles without bothering whether it is a comment or otherwise.

Superpoke? So, it is another way to interact with your friends. I wonder why you have to take everything so hard? Tell me, in Friendster, after leaving comments, what else can you do? The applications in Facebook are just the provided alternatives for you to communicate with your friends. If you don't want to add, fine! Just leave your words on your friends' WALL. But then, don't criticize about the applications unless you can make one yourself.

******************************************************


My other "Say"s.....


How old are you to judge the creator Facebook? I am not sure whether they will gain any money from the advertisement, but, WTH, why do you care so much? If you think you are so smart, create social network website yourself!

How many anonymous friends' request that you have accepted and how many anonymous friends that you have invited in Friendster? Fine, plenty! After becoming "friends", how many of them are still in touch with you....?

And you says, "don't show off with your Facebook." Then, what does this mean?
*This was captured on 16 November, 7.19pm.

You see? I don't judge people from their posts. I am just COMMENTING on their posts. =)

p/s If you hate Facebook, why don't you delete your account and move on with your Friendster life? But, apparently, you still have it. LOL.


p/s 2 This is just my thought. And to the author, please use proper language that everyone can understand. The creator may not know what does c***i mean. :)


p/s3. I still use my Friendster. :)

I Like Facebook

Just a polite way for me to express that, "I hate Friendster!"


Why? It has been few days that I cannot login due to some sort of maintenence is going on. I wonder why they have to take such a long time to do it. One thing I wonder, everytime this so-called maintenence session is over, not once, not twice, not thrice, plenty of times, sorry to say but I don't see any different in the mechanism of this social network website. It is still the same, and it is still lame.

Facebook may not have fancy layout as Friendster has in which you can create your own interactive background for your Friendster account but I would say, Facebook will allow you to interact with your friends in lots of ways through the provided applications rather than just leaving comments. The point is, as long as you can stay in touch with your buddies, that is already good enough.

Sometimes when I browse through Friendster, some of them have this exaggerating layout which may suck your eyeballs out of your socket. It is way too much sometimes, I guess they are so obsessed with it in which I think is worthless for spending all your time just to do that. But, I still have to support Friendster anyway since lots of my friends prefer Friendster as for me to keep in touch with them.

Nevertheless, my favourite social network website now will be none other than
FACEBOOK!

=)

I'll Always Be Your Friend

I guess Leona Lewis has captured my heart more and more day by day. Since I don't have other better things to do except online (forget about study for a while), so, I was just browsing through YouTube today and discovered a song by her again, "Here I Am". I was captivated by the lyrics. So true to me.

Anyway, I would like to dedicate this song to someone out there who I always appreciate and treasure, wherever you are. Just remember that I will always be here for you. =)


Here I Am by Leona Lewis


This is a crazy world
These can be lonely times
It's hard to know who's on your side
Most of the time

Who can you really trust
Who do you really know
Is there anybody out there
Who can make you feel less alone
Some times you just can't make it on your own

[Chorus:]
If you need a place where you can run
If you need a shoulder to cry on
I'll always be your friend
When you need some shelter from the rain
When you need a healer for your pain
I will be there time and time again
When you need someone to love you
Here I am, hmmm

If you have broken dreams
Just lay them all on me
I'll be the one who understands
So take my hand

If you reach emptyness
You know I'll do my best
To fill you up with all the love
That I can show someone
I promise you you'll never walk alone

[Chorus:]
Well if you need a place where you can run
If you need a shoulder to cry on
I'll always be your friend
When you need some shelter from the rain
When you need a healer for your pain
I will be there time and time again
When you need someone to love you
Here I am, oooo

Everybody needs somebody who
keep a heart and soul in two

[Chorus:]
Well if you need a place where you can run
If you need a shoulder to cry on
I'll always be your friend
When you need some shelter from the rain
When you need a healer for your pain
I will be there time and time again
When you need someone to love you
Here I am, here I am

Last Day of My Foundation Studies

Today marks the end of my lectures, not only for the semester, but also for the whole foundation studies life. Can't believe that everything almost ends. Somehow or rather, it is too fast for me. It likes that I have just started my brand new studies life here. There were times when I was here, how I wish that I would be home as soon as possible. It is not that I don't like it here. I am just missing the comfort and the warmness of my home sweet home, where all my beloved family members are beside me. Guess that I have learnt to be strong right now.

Ironically, the feeling has turned to be opposite. Frankly, I hope that the time will pass me by slowly. I just cannot accept the fact that I am going to leave this campus in 3 weeks time. Meaning that, I am going to leave my Uni friends. Plus, I will be flying all the way, back to Bintulu, Sarawak. It will be so hard to see them, except when we back to Uni for the next semester, and of course, this will go on for the next four years, throughout my undergraduates studies period. Someone of you may think that I am kinda pathetic to be thinking in such way, sounds so emotional. Well, this is who I am. It is not that I am not realising that we will be meeting up again next time, but a little moment of separation, is already emotional enough for me to bear.

Learn to appreciate and treasure everyone around me, family and friends, has been my life priority. People tend to regret after losing someone in their life and in some of the cases, you will never get him or her back. Hope that I will not be one of them.

Gosh! This post sounds way to personal to be read. Anyway, next week will be having study week before the battle begins on 24 Nov. Wish all my batch mates all the best and see you all back next year. =)

About Me

I asked myself to be tagged. I guess I just love to do tag post. It allows me or may be you, to understand myself better. Some more, there are two different tags in a row. Hope I enjoy doing this. As said, I asked for it.

I was tagged, *cough*, by SJ, a new bloggie friend of mine. Never seen her in real but we do contact each other via our blogs and sometimes, Facebook. Gosh! I like Facebook. =)

TITANIC Obsession [Part Nine]

Another post of my obsession, TITANIC. I guess it has been a while I didn't post about it.


The featured song below is my favourite soundtrack of the movie which is only music with no lyrics. It is played in the movie when Rose hesitates to leave Jack behind by getting into the boat to save herself. Apparently, she can't let him go and so, she jumps back to the ship where this leads to the "You Jump, I Jump" scene, I guess everyone knows which scene is it, unless you haven't watched the movie.

Unable to Stay, Unwilling To Leave

The song starts to hit me at 0.44 where all the emotion comes into me. I am moved with the flow and its melody. I can imagine that in the movie, the boat is being lowered down and Rose keeps on seeing Jack who remains on the deck. She looks at women and children around her who are crying and waving to their loved ones. Then, she looks back at Jack again. Thinking that she may not have the chance to meet him again, she jumps back to the ship and this happens when the song plays at 1.39.

But when it comes to 2.37, the song brings me down. I think that they should have remove that part. This reminds me of Cal chases after Jack and Rose with the shooting gun scene. That is not romantic and that does not fit the song title, at all.

Hold My Hands

There is a story goes like this:

Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.
The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter,
'Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river.'
The little girl said, 'No, Dad. You hold my hand.'
'What's the difference?' Asked the puzzled father.
'There's a big difference,' replied the little girl.

'If I hold your hand and something happens to me,
chances are that I may let your hand go.
But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens,
you will never let my hand go.'

****************************************
In any relationship,
the essence of trust is not in its bind,
but in its bond.

So hold the hand of the person who loves you
rather than expecting them to hold yours...

This message is too short......
but carries a lot of feelings.

****************************************

We may not be close friends.

We may not be best buddies.

This doesn't mean that I don't care for you.

You are someone special that always wandering in my heart.

I can feel the magical bond between us.

When you are down, I am down too.

When you are sad, I am sad too.

I will always be here to listen and to share.

You can count on me and trust me.

That is a promise.

Cheer up, okay.

=)

Personal Update

I miss my pet dog, Buffalo!

See ya in three weeks time!

It Almost Ends

One week to go will be STUDY WEEK.
Two weeks to go will be FINAL EXAM.
Three weeks to go will be SEMESTER BREAK.

***************************************************

Test season was finally over today. Finally really can relax myself before the real exam is coming up soon, I suppose. Nah..... Not the right time to talk about it now. Think of distress for the rest of the weekend. Darn, I nearly forget that I have Chemistry long report to be done. wth...

Anyway, I am delighted for those who come out with this idea to make a special blog for the UTP January08 Batch. I guess the theme is "Sharing is Caring". I am still wondering who is the admin or the author of the blog? Hmm...... Anyway, do keep the blog updated from time to time.

*note: Only invited readers have the grant access to the blog.

A little suggestion from me: Why don't add all of us become the authors of the blog so that each and everyone of us can post our thoughts there. That will be definitely meet the theme of the blog. =)

Really like the header of the blog. All of us are inside, except those who have left last semester.

Compared with this collection that I made last semester. (sorry, some of you may not appear here as there were lots of us at that time and, limited space)Lots of sweet memories wandering in my mind now. :)

From what I heard, it is better than the first one.

*You got to move it, move it;

you got to move it, move it......!*

I'm Your Angel

Just wanna share this song with you. I really adore Celine Dion with her unique vocal. This song touches me in some way. =)

*Take note of the chorus part.

No Mountains too high, for you to climb
All you have to do is have some climbing faith, oh yeah
No rivers too wide, for you to make it across
All you have to do is believe it when you pray

And then you will see, the morning will come
And everyday will be bright as the sun
All of your fears cast them on me
I just want you to see...

[Chorus:]
I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I'll hear your voices when you call me
I am your angel
And when all hope is gone, I'm here
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are
I am your angel
I'm your angel

I saw the teardrops, and I heard you cry
All you need is time, seek me and you shall find
You have everything and you're still lonely
It doesn't have to be this way, let me show you a better day

And then you will see, the morning will come
And all of your days will be bright as the sun
So all of your fears, just cast them on me
How can I make you see...

[Chorus:]
I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I'll hear your voices when you call me
I am your angel
And when all hope is gone, I'm here
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are
I am your angel
I'm your angel

And when it's time to face the storm
I'll be right by your side
Grace will keep up safe and warm
And I know we will survive
And when it seems as if your end is drawing near
Don't you dare give up the fight
Just put your trust beyond the sky...

[Chorus:]
I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I'll hear your voices when you call me
I am your angel
And when all hope is gone, I'm here
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are
I am your angel
I'm your angel

I'll be your cloud up in the sky
I'll be your shoulder when you cry
I'll hear your voices when you call me
I am your angel
And when all hope is gone, I'm here
No matter how far you are, I'm near
It makes no difference who you are
I am your angel
I'm your angel

Inner Me

I should be studying right now as crazy test season is in the air. My biggest fear, Chemistry Test will be on this Wednesday, yet I haven't done my revision, on Organic Chemistry. For some reason, I think I am going to be doomed for this course. Some more the lecturer really sucks (Sorry if I sound rude but it is what it is. Others just don't have the gut to say it!)

NO!!!

I shouldn't think it that way. All I need is a little faith and confidence in myself. I can do it. Success is achievable, is either I want it or otherwise.

Yes, I can.
Yes, I will.
Yes, I am.

***********************************************
Before that, I want this tag to be done first before I continue with my thorny and restless journey.

I was once again, tagged by a new friend of mine, Justin Wai Khan, who has just completed his first semester studies. So free, huh, Justin, tagging people around? Haha.... kidding! =)

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Remove 1 question (any from below) and add in a personal question, make it a total of 19 questions.
2. Tag 8 people in your list, list them out at the end of this post. Notify them in their chat box that he/she has been tagged.
3. NO TAG BACK!!!

1. What are your nicknames?

>Steward
>Baba
(only close family members can call me with this name. Friends, sorry. You are not allowed and I am serious.)
>Stew (High school friends, especially the girls used to call me with this name. Even when texting me, they used "Stew". wth, my name is too long but the shorted form is too ugly... =.=)
>Sexy
(recently, I wonder why Eric keeps on calling me this...)
>Steba (Stephennie, my batchmate get the name from combination of my full name Steward Baba, Ste from "Steward" and Ba from "Baba". It sounds so Buddist to me.)

Whatever it is, I would prefer you guys to call me "Steward". :)

2. What is your favourite thing to do?

Recently, I would say online is my favourite thing to do when I am in University life mode. I Facebook and blogging quite often, whenever when I have the free time. I can say that it is my own my way to distress myself after a tiring day. I don't play DoTA or CS like my other friends do.

Studying? Nah... It is more like something that I have obligated to do rather than something that is my favourite thing to do.

3. If you have super power, what will you do?

If I have the power to erase all the bad memories in me, I won't be so down right now and can lead my daily life to the fullest with no worries. Sound impossible. *haih.......*

4. Is there someone in your heart right now?

Yes. Special ones. =)

5. What are you afraid to lose the most?

The persons in number 4. =)

6. What do you feel like doing right now?

ONLINE.... later, studying, ORGANIC CHEMISTRY....!

7. If there's someone that you love, would you confess to him/her?

Not sure. But so far, I am not ready for any relationship yet except for FRIENDSHIP. :)

8. List out 3 goods points of the person who tagged you!

Nice
Friendly
Smart


9. What are the requirements that you wish from your other half?

No much requirement. As long as she can stand and please me, some more if my heart is captured and stolen by her personalities, I think it's OK with me. (I think?)

10. What are the things that will make you think that he/she is bad?

I would less likely to think other people are bad. Some people around me, sometimes I am not really pleased by their attitude but who am I to judge them. They know themselves better. It's up to them to change themselves to be better if they realise it one day.

Same goes for myself. I have my bad side too. Just want to be frank. No one is perfect.

11. If you had to eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Chocolate that can act as a substitute for rice. LOL...

12. If you had a choice to be rich or happy, which one would you pick?

When you are rich but no happiness, it sounds so PATHETIC.
When you are happy but not rich, well, at least you are happy, that is much more crucial. CHEERS. ^_^

Well, it's good to have both but if I were to choose, I would say happiness because at least, I won't live my life in sorrow even though my life may be hard. Life isn't really about money. It's about how have you spent your life to the fullest. Then, you will treasure and love life more to make it much more meaningful.

So, I choose to be happy. =)


13. If you have a chance, which part of your character you would like to change?

Pessimistic. Darn, my mood isn't that good right now.

Sarcasm? Nah.... this is the one makes people like me. LOL...


14. Current status?

Single but not available.

15. What is the one thing you love about yourself?

I am a mixed of Iban and Chinese but speak Mandarin frequently and fluently. So, all others will always think that I am a Chinese. Cool... :)

Being nice and helpful to others, I think. I will always try my very best to please others because the feeling of offending is really awful. I don't mind if I myself get offended because I am not a kind of guy who keeps a single feeling of hatred in me. You can be disrespectful to me, but I won't keep it in mind for long. BUT, don't take advantage over me.

I am not a guy you can mess around with. (wth, out of question already. =P)

16. If you can bring only one thing along with you to another world, what would it be?

Special ones as in 4 and 5.

17. Are you afraid of falling in love?

I never fall in love before so not sure why I have to afraid about it.

One thing for sure, after I have found my true first love, I will afraid of losing her. I am kinda perfectionist in certain thing.

18. If you become the opposite sex of you, what will you do??

Just act like a normal girl does. Wear dress, make up, and spend my bf's money. LOL... (kidding for the spending money part)

Perhaps being like an iconic figure like Oprah, who inspires millions of people of around the world. Not to say there is no influential guy around but sadly, I don't know them enough as I know Oprah.


19. Don't know what to ask myself leh....

People I tagged:
Nah..... won't tag others again this time. Believe they are busy now. See? How considerate am I? hehe... no offence, Justin. =)

*****************************************************

Okay. Off to studying now.

May not update for this week, at least not until by Friday's night where all the tests would be over by then.
