Love Story @ Spanish Night

Been so busy myself, with a lame internet connection, I hardly can update this blog as often as before. Even I do have the time, I will usually check my Facebook when the connection is at its best.

Listening to this song recently. Simple lyrics yet has deep meaning. Love this! You shall love it too.

LOVE STORY by Taylor Swift



We were both young, when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts-
I'm standing there, on a balcony in summer air.

I see the lights; see the party, the ball gowns.
I see you make your way through the crowd-
You say hello, little did I know...

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles-
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet"-
And I was crying on the staircase-
begging you please don't go...
And I said...

Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.

So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet, because we're dead if they knew-
So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while.
Oh, Oh.

Cause you were Romeo - I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "stay away from Juliet" -
but you were everything to me-
I was begging you, please don't go-
And I said...

Romeo take me somewhere, we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
It's a love story, baby, just say yes-

Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story, baby, just say yes.
Oh, Oh.

I got tired of waiting.
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith in you was fading-
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said...

Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting, for you but you never come.
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think-
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said...

Marry me Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.
I love you, and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad -- go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby just say... yes.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh.

'cause we were both young when i first saw you

100 Truths @ Last Day

Look at the date, it is now 28 February. Less than 12 hours to go, it will be 1 March, a whole new month again. Wondering why does time pass so fast? It is like I was not given enough time to do everything even though the fact is that the period for every moment is the same. Guess I was so packed with stuff and time was just gone when I was done. In a way, it is a good thing. On the other side, it is a bad thing because I am not real ready for anything.

Test season is approaching. 3 tests in the upcoming weeks before mid-break starts. Not in the stress mode now. Am trying to relax myself more rather than having breakdown. Enough with the personal problem that I have encountered lately but thinking that things are getting better now, and I am glad. Trying to look at something from a brighter and positive perspective. =)

Won't be going back home during the break since I will be having Soaring The Eagle (STE camp) to attend. Hope it will be fun. The longer stay here makes me more anticipated of the upcoming semester break to go home, and also, to celebrate Gawai Festival back in June. That is long way to go though.

Watching PERFUME: THE STORY OF A MURDERER last night.
In a way, it is quite exaggerating. But the story line is overwhelming. Some of the scenes are explicitly disturbing. Feel bad for the women who were sacrificed just to make a tiny bottle of great perfume. Worth watching, I think.

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


HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY!
It has been a year we are together. All the best to everyone.

*DE test is not as hard as I thought.
**Learn to sacrifice for someone you care. Bear the pain and be strong.

My Valentine

The single me has spent my Valentine with my friends in my own Uni.

I was helping my friend to do some paper work for the upcoming Regional Conference Humanities (RCH2009) which will be on next Wednesday. For the first time, I have the opportunity to enter the administration building of our Uni, which is located above our grand library, Information Resource Center (IRC).

View from top floor

Lift


Some of the office
Laura, Wee Kheng, and I, accompanied by our former English lecturer, Mr. Ridhuan Tony Lim were there for almost one whole day to print and organize the documents for the event. Frankly, it has been tiring and boring, to wait for the machine to finish its printing before we pile everything together. The machine is very sophisticated though. It scans, prints, then staples the document. So high tech and advcanced, first time seeing such machine.


Cool, eh?

While waiting, we took photos.

Laura, me, Wee Kheng

Waiting for the machine...

Resting

Mr. Ridhuan also brought along his baby son, too. His baby is so cute, makes me miss my "baby" brother at home. Wee Kheng and I have spent some time to play with him.

He refuses to smile.

Baby in his troller

Being naughty

Wee Kheng crawled together with baby

Around 5.45pm, the machine finally was out of toner which required a replacement for the cartridge. But, we didn't have any at that time. So, we stopped and started to leave.

It's been tiring and boring but did enjoy spend our time there though. I will definitely miss the little fella.

Last shot of the day

Something EXTRA..... What do chemical engineers do when they are bored in a class?

Wondering why, why must the lecturers for my core subjects must be lousy one? Why? I don't really get what my lecturers say, eventhough I pay my full attention.

So, rather than listening to the lecturers, I just grabbed Wee Kheng handphone and took photos.

Boring class.

Pretend only...

Real sleeping.

Studying on her own

Day dreaming

A couple of chemical engineers

Well, life has been real fun, as I always said, so far.

It is Weekend!

I have started to really appreciate my weekend more than ever. Schedule on weekdays really damn busy with all those lectures and walking from one building to another. It is fun but I do need some rest too. The only time that I can do so is WEEKEND. Yes, finally it has come.

Tomorrow is Valentine Day, a day for the couples to celebrate their day. The single me will celebrate my single life. Now being single is a bless, no much commitment to deal with. Studies has put enough pressure on me now. Better focus on my studies and be more active with my Uni events.

Still have FRIENDS, right? =)

HAPPY VALENTINE DAY!

*Saw a poster today. It quotes, "Avoid valentine day. It has the characteristics of Christianity and maksiat"
I was like WTF. These people are damn low life or even worse, LIFELESS.
Guess what? I tear the paper into pieces and scattered all around the floor. Who cares?
