Counting stars

I've had a few weird dreams these past few days. One with my brother which felt real (I'll write in my next post). Another dream was downright creepy too. I dreamt I was injected forcefully by a lady. The next thing that happened as I woke up was that I was staring at my utterly unusual feet. I had 7 toes on my right foot and 6 toes on my left. I even remembered which toes were repeated. It wasn't at all ugly but just abnormally queer that I was almost in tears. When I actually woke up for real, I immediately stared at my feet and counted the number of toes I had altogether making sure I had 5 each. And because I was still pretty insecure, I recounted them again and again. Silly but true.  

 

Actually I'm writing this post with the diary feeling. Maybe, that's why its so hard to name posts for me because I usually 'dump' all my experiences and feelings together in one post until sometimes there's no main topic but instead, a bunch of topics. I love to write that way although its unsystematic and messy. Hehe.

 

People have been asking me what I'm doing at the moment and what I want to do next. I'm sure everyone has been here before at one point of their life. I wish I know the answer but in truth, I really don't know. As much as I pray and hope that I know, I still dun haf much an idea. Saying 'I don't know' when it comes to my future somehow sounds like I'm a lil' lacking, undecisive and uncertain too. Not that it should matter la. I have thought about my options but not thoroughly enough to feel like I'm confident of my stand or any stand. I know a little on some fields but feel like I don't know enough about it in particular oso, especially those art stream courses. Its like I have a range of options to choose from but feel like I've none at the same time. People say that its good to keep your options open ( I feel da same way) but when there's too many doors that you would like to consider, it becomes complex and confusing. When I try to close them down, I contemplate about it over and over again. Dilemma indeed. Sighs. That's why I've made a self-reminder to surf the net to find and dig info from time to time ( instead of just complaining here). I really hope that God and my 'shining stars' in heaven will guide me through this important phase of my life so that I'll make the right choices.

 

Set aside that issue, I had a good time during a last minute CNY shopping outing that day with the two doinks. :D I enjoyed myself a lot actually because it reminded me of our gradnite shopping. Something I dun often do with my friends.:)) I wished I could enjoy to the fullest but I felt sick, sleepy and also abit like a downer sometimes. I would have been more cheerful-er if I were healthy. Huhu. I wasn't sure why but I felt a lil' sad after everything. Maybe because we wouldn't get to do this for I dunno how long but all in all, it was a nice outing wif my awesome buddies. Thanks for a nice outing. =)

 

Today's Chor Yatt too so Happy CNY everybody! :) I'm enjoying myself so far. Hehheee. Yesterday, my family and I had a small reunion dinner before waiting till 11pm to pray at a temple. Quite fun ler! Hehee :D After praying, my bro and I get our free helping of tong sui. There were noodles too but we didn't eat ler. Whilst waiting for my mom, we were unexpectedly caught up in a festive unfold of events. It started off with a lion dance followed by a dragon dance that lasted for an hour plus. There's like a groundbreaking ceremony of firecrackers hung from the ceiling being lighted up also in between. Shortly after, there were temple helpers assuming as two gods dancing about. People started taking pics with them and chai sen ye appeared too. He carried baskets filled with sweets and everyone started crowding him and got into this frenzy mad rush to grab the sweets (in the hope of receiving goodwill and prosperity). Since my dad was joining in the crowd, I was one of them too!! Loll. We couldn't get any sweets at first (malangnya) but later on, we did ler. :) In the midst of the events, free angpaos were given out and another 'madness' happened. I didn't join in this time but just watched from a distance la. Seeing people's faces light up in delight throughout the event made me feel warm within too. I was smiling like an idiot sometimes and of course, caught other people doing that too. Lol :P It ended with a blast of fireworks display for quite sometime to mark the end of the event. It was indeed a speical day. Initially, I felt sleepy and lazy to go out. But after everything, I didn't regret going there since my family seldom get a chance to attend this kind of public events with a big turnout of people cos we always avoid traffic. So it was a memorable experience. :)

 

Bro bought me, my mom and dad CNY clothes too. So nicee of him.:) He bought me an unlikely clothing that I would ever buy, a cheongsam! Aiyok. I actually felt reluctant to wear it but aihs, I didn't want to make my bro feel like I dun appreciate it at all (because I actually like it very much. Its a nice design sumore) so in the end, I chose to wear it ler over my newly bought pants.:/ My relatives said the dress was nice so I told them my bro chose it for me wan and they told him he had good taste. Thankiu gor.:) Dad cooked kai choy too. My mom ask to cook 5kg of it. Crazy wann. Lol. But I'm sure we can finish it too. Hahhha. Helped to wash the veggie with my mom awhile before napping. Gonna eat now. Happy CNY again!!! :)

Trip and drama

My relatives came down from KL for the weekend. We always stay at their place wan when we're at KL and they do the same when they come down to Ipoh. It's like 'family homestay'. Hehee.

                A whole day outing on Saturday. We first went to Tambun to buy pamelos. Since we bought alot of pamelos, we got a complementary one. Hehee. Although I seldom eat it but tis pamelo was sweet and juicy. Yums. Had nasi lemak and fu chok yi mai for breakie at the shop near my house. I feel they make the nicest fu chok yi mai drink around. Really yummy. =) Next, we had a short pitstop at my house to leave all the pamelos behind before continuing our journey to our destination for-the-day! Tadadaaa. Sitiawan.:) Setiawan has this famous temple over there so we went there to pray. By the time, it was almost 3pm. So we had seafood for lunch in Sitiawan. It was yummy and worthwhile too.  Actually, we went Sitiawan to eat seafood a few times before ady but I think this restaurant we go to serves the best delicious dishes among all the few ones that we've tried so far dee ler. The pricing's reasonable and the foodie is fresh too.:) Our last stop was no other than a few Big Digit places (the adults hobby. aiseh). Haha.

                And off, we headed back to Ipoh. Since we passed by Station 18 on the way home, dad suggested that we jalan-jalan at Aeon ler and so we did. While walking around, bumped into Pei San. So long never see her ady but her absolutely tall height makes her easily spotted. Wkakaa.:P Since we check out the cinemas (not to catch a movie but to see what movies are showing now. Lol), I bought this BBQ popcorn limited time only at TGV cos I remembered my eldest bro saying it tastes not bad wen. The popcorn had this strange but nice taste at the same time ler but after eating too much, felt ulwehs and lips were really dry dee. Omiemo. 

                Although it was a short drive up to Sitiawan, it was still quite enjoyable ler.=) It made me feel like blogging about my Sarawak trip again (which is long overdue). There are other things that I'd like to blog too, like my Form 6 life and my current dilemma now. But you know that feeling of 'ermmm.. A bit lazy now la..Wait first laa..'?? Haha. Its call Procrastination. zzZz. I found out something new too, that 'Pro' comes from the latin meaning 'for' and 'cras' in latin means 'tommorow'. So that means, for tommorow. Makes so much sense ryte? For lazybumbums. Wakakaa.

                Had a terrible tummy ache for the past two days too. Ulwehs. Remember that horror show I was talking about earlier? I finished watching it!!! The title's The Master's Sun.:)) It's not that scary as I thought after all. The ending tied up all the loose ends very nicely also. A cheerful and happy endingg.:) At first, there were many scary ghosts that pop up in the show ler but later on, most ghosts appear as the sad, helpless and sympathetic kind. Its actually quite a meaningful show cos there's many different sub-stories in it altogether. There's 17 episodes overall so in almost each episode, a different ghost appears. The story that surrounds their death is unravelled and an honest revelation comes to light. The development of the storyline towards the end was good too. And the synopsis? It's about this girl who is able to see ghosts and is afraid of them but it makes them go away when she touches the main guy character. =) Ohya, rating it 4 stars ler. Hehehee. I'm liking the OSTs as well.

              Okay, I got lots of time to type thats why I'm here, more frequently than I should. Haha. I'm chao-ing for now. Tata!:)

Cleaning Frenzy

I spring cleaned my room yesterday. Unintentionally, that is.

               I found my mom shifting an unused mattress into my room and kacau-ing some other things which remained untouched in my room for a long long time ady. Those soft toys and plushie all that. Then I started complaining la bout the dust flying around everywhere in the room. If I were my mom, I can imagine myself naik marah dee. Haha. But she being my mum of course looked for a broom and came back into my room wif one. When I saw her holding the broom, I somehow invoulunteerily reach out for it and told her "I sweep laa". (Maybe feeling a sense of guilt for complaining) Huhuhu.

               Minutes later, I was busy sweeping my room. I discovered that worrrh, there were lots of dust everywhere (especially under my bed! Eeks). Not that dust can be counted but it was a lot for just a room. Specks and specks of dust clumped together into like some cloud of dust. Omoo. I gathered the dust wif a dustpan and placed them in the waste paper basket la. I cleared up some unnecesarry stuffs in my room and it went straight into the waste paper basket too. *Ploop!!*. After finish sweeping, I casually look around if there's anymore cleaning to do and discovered MORE DUST. Dust everywhere! Ulwekks. Dust not on the floor but just lying around on things. The sight of dust, dust and more dust just made me compelled to start wiping everything with a wet cloth. *the spring cleaning mode ON*…

               I came in and out of the room toilet dunno how many times to use the sink. Hope it won’t suddenly clog in a few days time wif da dust trappings. Huhu. I went on to clean the bed frame, the furniture edges, glass windows, what not. While I was rinsing the cloth at the sink (after dunno what number of time), I was thinking in my head like,

“Luckily I didn’t sleep wif air-cond on” (otherwise I would have breathe in a lot of dust)

“I’m thankful that I used a stand fan instead”, feeling kinda grateful…

               After rinsing the cloth, I walked out of the bathroom to find more spots to clean. Walked straight towards my fan, *shocked*…There’s more dust here than I’ve cleaned so far. At that time, I felt not so thankful anymore. T.T

               I spent lots of time cleaning the fan frantically after which, I started wiping my printer and even proceed to wiping the room walls. Ahaha. Crazy I noe. After cleaning that dusty fan, my impression of more dust was to clean, wipe, clean. Driven by this ‘Clean this up!!! Not even a single dust must be left!’ mode. Haha. I can’t imagine how I slept with layers of dust just a few centimeters below my pillow and right above my head. There’s this world map above my head and it was blanketed with layers of filthy dust. Eerhs. Anyways, ultimately, I sleep everyday in a world of thick dust, I breathe in large amounts of them too (with da fan blowing directly). :/ I sorted out lots of papers and textbooks also. Bout this books n papers, still haven’t decided what to do wif them erh. I had two more piles of books to sort out wen but my mom tidied it up for me a bit so only for that small bit, everything else is cleaned in the end. Spring cleaning mission complete! :) Thankiuu to my mom, she helped me to tidy that last leftover bit. AND that dongu dust everywhere, thanks to those, I had the outburst of spring cleaning mode.

                This morning, I woke up wif a nose block. :S Must be yesterday's dust while cleaning. But this time, I think I can be thankful dee since I cleaned my whole room already. Not like before. Hmf hmfs. Now I feel better. Sleeping in a room wif less dust.

A room wif less dust. =)

Whats up?

                  Dad went pasar malam just now and brought back a few jars of ngaku potato chips. Yipees! =) Can't wait to munch 'em when I watch my drama or when I feel the sudden rush of hunger esp in the midnite. yumyum. hehee.:P I actually really like the crabstick one too. Although all these cookies and chips are expensive and oily too, I lovee to eat 'em. What to do, yummy food are always unhealthy, they're mostly expensive too. :/ If only I can make them on my own. Those ppl selling them really untung alot eh. But I realli look forward to cny becos of this cookies and also, angpao of cos. $$$$$. wkaka. =)

                 Started watching a new drama yest. First time watching such a weird drama genre combination. Let me tell u, the main genre's Horror. I didn't manage to watch the first episode properly when watchin it on youtube. Cos one eye open, the other eye close.hahaha. Although I tried to brave myself to sit through the whole first episode, I didn't dare to watch it full screened and couldn't concentrate on some parts oso fearing some ghost will pop up.:S Its a drama centred on the horror genre but wif a combination of comedy,romance and fantasy too ler. Haha. The first ghost that appeared was within the first 5 mins of the show. Got a small shock cos it was scaryy. The first thought that came to my mind at first glance was a recall of The Conjuring show. Eeeksss. And I dunno how many ghosts and its apparitions appeared just in that one episode itself. :/ But I still finished watching it. Talk about bravery. Ahem.:) jkjk la. I dun like ghost shows and I never watch it alone be4. Yest was the first time. Omo. Since I like to scroll through and read ppl's cmmts on youtube oso, saw what a youtube user wrote...'Omg..pls help me through the episodes..' Lol. I find it quite funny cos I too felt scared while watchin. I dun wana sound old, but realli, I duno if my heart can take the suspense.:S Hahha. But I saw some good reviews of the show and da actress is from the comedy drama The Greatest Love, quite funny n cute show, so tats y gona resume wif episode 3 later if I can sum up the courage. huhu. The preview looked scary. *dubdub* Hope it'll be nice. T.T

                 Reading an adventure series currently too which I found in my brother's shelves quite sometime ago. If there's one thing, the type of books that my bro used to read are almost all the guys kind wen. Adventure, sci-fi and those Da Vinci books kind. Mostly are not my taste wen(altho liking adventure now) so I never really read any of his books except for a few. When I discovered this series, a bit regret that I didn't started it earlier. Its called 'Pendragon' and my bro has 6 books out of all the whole series. The front cover ler, its very boy-ish and thats why I thought it'll be another of his books dat I dun think I'll like. Then, I'm reading it now. Its not to say super amazing or anything. Its just a book that is easy to read and enjoy. Even if I leave it aside temporarily and continue again.:) But its a bit past the age where I should read this series dee. Maybe 13-15 age group that kind suits best cos of the way the author writes but I still read the series. So far quite nice. I guess we really shouldn't judge a book by its cover, literally. Huhu.

                 I have plans of what I wanna do like getting smtg do or a job, exercise abit maybe? To stay healthy. Cos I can feel my muscles all getting 'tighten' and fatigued for no reason. Then, learn how to cook some simple but delicious food and brush up my guitar skills. Somehow none of this are fulfilled or close to getting realli started pun. T.T *oora oora* I definitely gotta spend time more prudentially.=)

             

The King 2 Hearts

                If you're not a korean fan, betah dun proceed further with this post. Its another of my korean drama ramblings. huhu. So before u regret reading or faint, go press the X cursor on ur screen at the right-hand corner above. =]

                 I finished watching The King 2 Hearts (TK2H), another Kdrama. hehe.:)


                   A lil' 'dramafever' now!! haha. It took me about a week to finish the series but oohooo, the show's pretty awesomee.:) 4 stars!!:) There's military, action, romance, politics, royalty and abit of everything so not bad ler. Actually I came across one episode on tv when I was in KL and I saw Ha Ji Won acting in it that attracted me to watch it. I'm quite a fan of hers after watching Secret Garden. Hehe. I've never really watch shows starring Lee Seung Gi oso except a bit of My GF Is A Gumiho but he's the male lead in TK2H. After watching that episode and because of these two, I decided to give it a go.

                 I didn't know if I really like the show at first or not because the first few episodes seemed a bit comical to me. And let me introduce you to the self-centred and powerful villain, Club M's president, John Mayerrr. His name's english but the actor was a korean ler. I'm so tempted to press the skip video button everytime I watch his individual scenes because its somehow annoying. I don't know if its him or that song that plays in the background but its like everytime when he appears, I feel like..do, re, mi...*skip..skip..Skip!* but of course, I didn't la. Maybe once or twice only. Haha! His obsession for performing magic tricks is nehh..unimpressive too. Even then, the show definitely needed his character. Cos the plot revolves heavily around him so really, credits still goes to him. This is also the first korean show with really many angmohs acting in it, Mayer's sidekicks and many other 'kalaffe' roles. At times, it makes me feel disconnected with the show. I sound like I dislike the show alot ehh? :P 

                  But I actually likee the show!:) After the first few episodes, it became really interesting when the show became more 'serious' and LSG's character shined.:) I liked all the military scenes. Especially the intensed WOC competition episode. So niceee. Boom boom!:D Actually the plot's about unifying N. Korea and S. Korea through an adjoined North-South Korea military team representing Korea in a  tournament called WOC and through a North-south political marriage. LSG, an unworthy prince of S. Korea meets HJW, a tough N. Korea woman military officer but a hopeless romantic during the WOC training. Together, LSG as the new king of S. Korea (after a royal family assasination) and HJW tries to find evidence of the assasination and advocate peace for both nations. Club M, an influential international organisation, however does all it can to prevent the unification of both regions of Korea. That's basically the main storyline ler. Hehee.

                  LSG and HJW's love is abit unlike others too. They both loved each other but their loyalty rooted towards their own nation is also great. So they kinda faced off several times as a king and military officer but they still love each other. Makes sense? Sounds like no right. Nyek nyek. But Eun Shi Kyungggg!!! Whaaaa..the 2nd male lead. I like his character personally especially as the personal bodyguard of the princess of the royal family, the 2nd female lead. I really adore this unofficial 'couple' of the princess and him from the start. Eees!:D I dunno if the 2nd leads' love story are my fave or the first but their little moments in this show are beautiful.:))

                   ESK plays the role as this serious, humorless but honourable military officer and royal guard. The princess liked him but he never revealed any feelings for her of that sort of course. Professionalism ma. In the final episodes, she watched a videotape recording specially made for her by him (right before his latest mission and if ever he died). And so, yes, the scriptwriter killed off his character. After his death only, she knew how strong his feelings were for her. Sad case-nyer. Omies. T.T What really draws me to this type of characters is their strong sense of pride in their duty and honour that they're willing to put their life and everything at stake for that cause. As rigid as they may be, they too, are capable of loving. 

                 Okies. Memang dramatic I know. HAHA. Sometimes after completing a series, I feel like there won't be another drama that'll be able to surpass my expectations of the drama that I've just finished (especially the ones that I've gotten hooked to). Now, I feel that way again. It usually happens for that temporary 'drama-fan' moment. But then another drama comes out, I start off watching another and find out that it's equally good or even...better!:) Rarely do I come across a not that nice drama (although there are a few) and that's the ones that goes unfinished, by me. heheee. But in the end, I guess the reason why I watch Korean dramas a lot in particular is because of the feel-good feeling. Wheess! :) 
           
                 Sorrie if I bore anyone out with these posts but I just can't help it. Fan mode on. ehehee.:)
