Tinted Glass Window

During the semester, I was complaining of too much work
When I'm having my holidays now, I'm complaining of boredom

During the semester, I was stressed out with the workload
Having my holidays now, I'm stressed out cause there's nothing to do

During the semester, I was wishing that the holidays would come
When the holidays finally came, I'm now wishing that it would end

During the semester, I always wished to be back home in Penang
When I'm finally back, I wished I was somewhere else
But now that the holidays are ending, I wish I could stay longer in Penang (coz everyone else is coming back!)



Sigh...human beings just find it hard to be satisfied
And I'm also turning into a Complain Queen=(

The other day I had a dream that my teeth was falling out (don't laugh)
It's the third time that I've had this dream
Can't really remember the situations or details of those dreams, but the part where the teeth come falling out was pretty much similar

So, being curious, I went online to see if I can find anything on it based on dream interpretation
Here's what I found: Teeth Falling Out Dream (the title is just so funny lol)

Anyway, I don't think it really helped..sigh
Will make a mental note to remember the situation if it ever occurs again

I'm back in penang! So far, things have been good back home=)
But connection here is really bad and extremely sss...lll...ooo...www....
Argh

I had a chat with mum yest over dinner and once again we were back to the same old topic
Mum is a typical parent who is always concern about my future and she never really liked the idea of me going into Psychology because she thinks it won’t provide me with a good paying job
I know many people out there who think the same way too and usually the best or rather the only response that they often give when they ask about what I’m studying is, “Well, at least you’re doing what you love” Sigh

Anyway, back to Mum, her usual question is, “What kind of job will you be doing after you graduate?”
Well, on one hand I do not blame her cause I never really had an answer to that as the field of Psych is just so wide and I’m still exploring my options
But on the other, it just frustrates me when she makes it sound as though everything is about getting a good paying job and living a comfortable life
Yes, I am aware that money is important and it is a necessity but I just cannot accept the thought that life is all about making money and chasing after a comfortable and secure lifestyle
People often say that when you have money, you’ll be happy because you’ll be able to have and do the things that you want
But the thing about money is, it’s never enough and you’ll never be satisfied!
Chasing after it will always be a never-ending race and I’m sure you would not want to wake up one day when you’re 60 and reflect back on your life thinking, “Is that it?”

Personally, I think that life has so much more to offer than just that
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that being rich is a bad thing (I'd love to be rich too!) but what I’m saying is, is life all about getting rich and achieving a certain status in society?
What about having a sense of purpose? A sense of fulfillment in life? Finding joy in what you do?
You may call me naïve and unrealistic but don’t you think that as we grow older, we have somehow lost the ability to dream and have a passion and purpose in what we do?
There are countless possibilities just waiting for us to explore out there and we’re all capable of living a meaningful and fulfilling life
It is all a matter of choice and priority

As for me, there is this excitement about life these days that I’ve never felt before
I’m just patiently waiting for a direction and purpose from Him to channel all this energy to
In the mean time, I think I would probably give everything that comes my way a try

We are only given this one life and there is no second chance, so let’s make it a life worth living

Satay Celup

At a Baba Nyonya restaurant

At Le Gourmet House, The Curve
It was really unexpected..I think I nearly cried haha
It's the first actual surprise birthday party that I've had with different groups of friends all coming together at the same time
Thanks a lot..I'll definitely remember this:)

The people behind the idea, two of my dearest friends, Jo & Merl!

.....................................................................................

I had a lot of fun..Spending my birthday with you guys was awesome!
Chrystin Choo...must meet up more often kays=p

I've been turning into a movie freak lately...and I was wondering why I'm so broke sigh

I like war movies and I am pretty fascinated with China history although I don't speak Mandarin or Cantonese or any other Chinese language very well (*coughs*). Anyway, it wasn't really good and it's probably because they tried to cram the whole history into a 2 hour movie. Darn.

"After all these years, what are we actually fighting for?" (translated version)
Kinda makes you think bout your own life isn't it...do you know what you're living for?

My ratings: 3/5

Yes, it's a chick flick, a romantic comedy, and the kind that makes you go home all happy, smiley and feeling as though there's always a happy ending in everything. If you just want to be entertained, this is definitely the show...plus there were some pretty funny sarcastic remarks in it to amuse you too=) I truly enjoyed it especially after all the exam stress that I've had.

Me likes!! Didn't exactlyy blew me away but the twisted plots were great although I got a bit lost here and there hehe. I'm not giving any spoilers..so, go watch!

Justice? Morality? What's right and what's wrong?

My ratings: 4.5/5

............................................................................................................

My exam has finally ended and it had lasted for...a day! haha

I had only 1 paper as the others were assignment based

So in other words, I practically slaved through the entire semester and this exam was the last of it

Until everything starts again in May......

Well, as for now, I'm looking forward to the holidaaaaayyyysssss!! yippie~

Until we truly give it our best shot and do all that we can
We'll never know how far we can stretch ourselves

It may be something totally new, something unimaginable and something that seemed far-fetched
But we'll never know if we never try

All it takes is strength, boldness and determination
To help push us a little further, to explore the new horizon
And surprise even ourselves

Isn't life fun and exciting? Isn't it full of possibilities?
There's a lot more that we can discover and learn
All that's needed is just to convince ourselves to take the first step

In You I will find my direction and courage
For You I will go even further
For it is Your name that I want to glorify

Had a chat with lynn earlier and I learned a new term...

Was a lot of fun talking to her...it's been quite a while ever since she left to Melbourne

I was laughing so much the whole time that I nearly fell off the chair (literally)

And throughout the conversation, we had an 'interesting' topic and she was super hyper, excited and turning red all over

Her responses were...

"oh mannn kenot tahannannnn"

"LIKE to the O to the M to the GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG"

"ENOUGH LAAA...SPARE MEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

"im like crying n laughing so hard at the same timeeeeee"

HAHAHA...I can seriously imagine you saying that in front of me

Your voice tone, expressions and gestures...LOL

I miss you la girl...
I'm going back to pg soon for my break...but you won't be there anymore:(
Suddenly remember our teenage days...so many memories sigh
Getting all emo now aiks

You take care there ya...don't let any more kangaroos touch your butt haha
Will keep you updated too (you know what I mean *winkz*)

xoxo

Seeing the title, you probably thought of all the essays and karangans that you've written during your younger days

Yes, I do admit that when we've reached a certain age, writing a paper on topics such as 'my best friend,' 'my favourite color' or 'my dog' would sound pretty lame

But anyhow, that was exactly what I did!

I was...

Curious about what guys and girls look for in their friends

Curious about how they treat their friends

Curious about what they share with their friends

And basically wanting to know about how the 2 genders define friends

Is it similar? Or perhaps not...

For my research paper, I wrote on Gender Differences and Friends
Some of you might have fallen victim to my 30 minutes interview on this subject
Thank you so much for your time and contributions...it was greatly appreciated:)

Forgetting about our physiological and biological make up...

We've always seen movies or heard about how guys and girls are just SO different

Guys are about sports, computer games, cars and girls

Girls are about shopping, gossipping and pouring their hearts out to one another

I know I've only scraped the icing top with what I've stated above

However, the question is...do you really think the two genders are so different? Or is it too much of a generalization?

What do guys seek for in their friends? Is it just company to hang out and joke around or is it someone to share their emotional needs with? Same goes for the female species...

Does gender play a role in how a person define his or her friends? Or does it depend solely on the person him/herself?

Also, we all know that we treat our friendships with same and different gendered friends differently

What's in a guy/guy or a girl/girl friendships? What about a guy/girl friendships?

A simple topic...yet when you go deep down to it, there's so much more

Sometimes, it is better not to think too much

It might just be unnecessary and a waste of time

But then again, I'm just curious...

Looking forward to...

Definitely, Maybe

Run Papa Run

To support of course hehe

It was kinda cool to see about 10,000 people running
Plus Dataran Merdeka was nicely lighted up early in the morning

A bunch of people from CoUZ were there to participate in the 10km run
As for the rest of us not-so-active ones, we were there for SMILE evangelism

the not-so-active ones=D

guess who was the one who ran? well, obviously NOT Merl haha

we SMILE-ed

everyone!

the finishing line

And most importantly, the whole run was mainly about....

So, are you?
