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

Is that it?

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

Trip to Malacca

The 5 of us had planned a trip to Malacca to ‘celebrate’ that our sem has ended
It’s something that we try to do every sem
Sadly, Aple couldn’t join us at the last minute due to some unfortunate reasons and only 4 of us went

Well, I found out that Malacca is NOT a good place to be driving…and this is coming from someone who’s been driving in Penang okay
There are soo many motorists around and the roads are extremely narrow and weird (yes, it’s weird!)
I’m just glad we all got home in one piece *phew* (it’s NOT my driving k, it’s the roads, seriously:P)

Anyway, we basically went there to eat till our hearts content
There was nothing much to do as we weren’t interested in visiting the historical places
The trip was all about good company and good food=)

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.

"Love is patient, love is kind, love is slowly going out of your mind" HAHA

My ratings: 4/5


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

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"
