MY CHEST HURTS.,FREAKING BAD..
WENT UP TO CAMERON HIGHLANDS TODAY, WITH MY PARENTS AND THE UNCLE, PLUS HIS FAMILY FROM HAWAII. BOTH RYAN(COUSIN) AND I DANCED TO THE TUNE "MAKES ME WONDER" BY MAROON 5, AND WE KINDA ROCKED DAD'S PAJERO.
IT WAS RATHER FUNNY TO BE DANCING WITH A 14-YEAR-OLD KID, TO THE SONG, BUT IT WAS FUN. IT WAS SOMETHING I WOULD NEVER HAVE DONE WITH MY BROTHER.
FIRST STOP, WAS STRAWBERRIES PARK. THERE, I WASTE NO TIME BUT TO GRAB THE STRAWBERRIES WITH WHIPPED CREAM (2PAX) AND SAT THERE SILENTLY, TRYING TO FINISH IT A.S.A.P. WHILE THE OLD ONES SAT THERE, LOOKING AT ME, SHAKING THEIR HEADS, REMINDING ME OF THE CALORIES I WILL BE GAINING FROM THE CREAM. EVEN RYAN ONLY HAD A STICK OF STRAWBERRIES COATED WITH CHOCOLATE. HEHE..SORRY, I GUESS I GOT CARRIED AWAY. AFTER THE STRAWBERRIES, IT WAS MORE STRAWBERRIES! WE WENT STRAWBERRY-PLUCKING, AND WE MANAGED TO PICK THE BIGGEST ONE. ALTHOUGH IT WASN'T THE SEASON FOR STRAWBERRIES, YET WE MANAGED TO FIND THE BIG ONES.
WE HAD LUNCH AFTER THAT, IN SOME RUN-DOWN RESTAURANT BUT THE FOOD WAS SUPERB. THAT WAS IT. WE LEFT CAMERON HIGHLANDS AFTER THAT. NO TEA AND SCONES. NO BUTTERFLY PARK. NO FLOWER FARM. NO TEA PLANTATION. WHY? I'M ALSO NOT SURE, BUT BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS ALREADY FULL AND TIRED.
ON THE WAY BACK, THE KIDS (A.K.A ME AND RYAN) SLEPT SILENTLY, WITH OUR HEADPHONES STUFFED INTO OUR EARS.
AND NOW, ME WAITING FOR DADDY TO BUY DURIANS BACK. SO MAHA-CRAVING FOR THEM.

Loving someone is not by chance, but it's by choice.
A playboy friend once told me, there's no such thing as LOVE AS FIRST SIGHT. He said, "Utter bullshit!". In fact, every guy, when he meets someone potential to be his partner, he starts to scheme and make plans. He plans each and every step to go closer to this potential girl, to make as if it was destiny that they were meant to be together. But, no, it was all in his plans. He will first create a moment just so that the two of them were made as if they were for one another. You know, that kind of thing.
To make things simpler, I wonder if any of you ever came across this Cornetto "Tiramissyou" advertistment? When the girl actually purposely made situations as if they were fated? Yeah, that's what I am talking about.
And then I came online and saw this friend's nick on MSN and I quote,
"Loving you wasn't my choice, but it's what I felt for you since that day."
Just which is real?
[[Can you people tell me what you think ??]]

Aah, it's good to actually come across good blogs once in a while. It's fascinating to know that how small the world is, when people are actually connected some way or the other.
Well, the day to rural service is numbered now, really. 2 more days and I am set to leave home and stay in the St.John's hall for 6 days. This is then followed by another week spent in Kuala Kangsar in a kampung area.
Great, 13 days worth of my holidays are gone. I guess it's the path I chose and I am not in the right position to whine or complain, just pray nothing's bad gonna turn out from this thing.
By the way, Dad thinks I am affected with tuberculosis (TIBI), since I have been coughing non-stop these days. Remember when I told you about the visit to the general Hospital with my uncle? Yeah, he's just been diagnosed with Tibi and has to be isolated. And bah, I spend 2 solid hours in the hospital with him that time and might be infected by him.
See, the effects of being someone nice. You get TIBI in the end. Bah!!..
Nevermind, for now, I am just going to take my cough syrup and see how the coughing goes. If it persists, I am just going to see the doctor, otherwise, I will just pretend that it's one of those coughs I have once in a while.
By the way, am going to this Summer Live Concert in Padang Ipoh in August. Heck, don't ask me the details, I was told that I have a free ticket in hand. Haha, I guess I have her friend to thank to. So, if you are here, a big THANK YOU. 
The 2nd month is approaching. Being sceptical in the beginning, coming to the 2nd month,makes me feel like a fool. How could I be doubtful about the relationship in the first place? Second month and it's not easy, yet we are trying.

People, I will be away for 12 days. No internet. No tee-vee. No nothing.
Hopefully a phone signal and a phone full of credit.
Yeap, that's my only source of entertainment. Shall be bringing along my book..and a few Archie's comics too. 
Away. For 12 days.

Blogging at a cyber cafe is not something I would do unless,
1. I have nothing better to do when I am out.
2. My internet connection at home breaks down.
So, right now, the situation is.. I ought to be away for 12 days for some charity project: Rural Service and am now, locked in St.John hall for 5 days for training before going to the actual place which is in Kuala Kangsar.
Like I've said earlier, why am I blogging in a cybercafe?
This is because JunJia asked me to fetch him here to do some research while I can't do anything to help because it's all in Chinese characters. So, in order to kill time, I've decided to pay a dollar to come online and blog about something at least. Just in case, like what Chongkz thinks that I am in trouble,locked up or something.
BUT I AM FINE.
Was a bit messed up earlier but now,I guess I am slowly adapting.
Because this project which I am involved in, it's organized by MCA so the whole project is being conducted in Mandarin. Being an English educated, I feel kinda uncomfortable to actually be among those fluent in Chinese. Suddenly the whole world seems to spin and I shrunk. So, throughout this programme, I've nothing much to do but to listen tentatively, and hopefully they will give me something to do. Something small but that would definitely hurt my self esteem. 
However, I did learn alot from the training itself, as I'm being exposed to things which I was not taught in an SMK school. Good to be around Chinese Unimates whom I've never stopped by in the academic grounds to say Hie or Bye.
With 17 boys in one room, and 8 girls in another room, we really enjoyed ourselves.
Other than the language barrier, I guess I am enjoying myself. Albeit we are growing apart since we had to pretend not knowing one another throughout this programme, I guess it's a matter of time.
Ok, I can't stand the vulgar remarks already. Boys are sucky when they play computer games..and why are they even smoking at the age of 15?!!

Guys playing DOTA.
One girl looking at her guy clicking vigorously on the mouse.
Two girls going online to clear their overdue emails.
Alright., I'm stuck in Kampung Liman Kati, Kuala Kangsar. As mentioned, rural service for a week. My foster family damn nice weh. The hospitability indescribable. However, my self confidence abit tarak, because the primary students called me "lam yan po" (tomboy) and I hate to admit that I was alil affected. But I have to remember that kids are mindless. Before I came here, I've always wanted younger kids..and mind you, I ADORE them, till I came here. I am thinking twice. Kids here, in Liman Kati, at the age of 11, some of them have already tried estacsy pills. ok, I am alil interested to give it a try.
Shall be back tomorrow. Shall write more. For the time being, it's the cyber cafe for us.

How many times do you wonder whether you are doing the right thing?
Back from Rural Service, having to part with my foster family, I guess I can pretty well sum up that I've grown up a lil since last week. Being away from home, taught me that there's more to it than being under ONE roof. I came to a new family, who's been living in a small kampung area, expecting to adapt to an entire new environment. I have to admit that I was a lil relunctant to leave my comfort zone in Ipoh, during my holidays, to some place which I might not like, and have a hard time coping.
Proven myself wrong. I love staying there. Although I didn't like the idea of dogs roaming around, chickens walking around freely, but I had no trouble adapting at all. Partly because my foster family was such a gracious host that I practically enjoyed myself there. Food was nice, nothing fancy but food was edible. In fact, most of the dishes was delicious.
However, I've grown more pimples since I stepped into Kampung Liman Kati. It was the durian festival, so durians were served almost EVERYDAY. From one family to the other, we were always invited to houses to enjoy the king of fruits. Without fail, each day, I would be served durians and MORE DURIANS. Besides durians, it was also the mangosteen, rambutan and langsat season. So, you can guess that we were OVERfed with fruits most of the time. So heated up that pimples start to sprout out on my face.
I am going to stop here, and write bits and pieces slowly.
For now, pictures of my foster sibblings.
Trust me, they simply adore me. And they wouldn't crawl to their beds, unless their mum comes with a rotan.
My younger brother, age 4. One of my favourite kids there.
This picture is taken with everyone, except the eldest sister.

Semester break is coming to an end.
This is perhaps the last weekend I shall be spending in Ipoh..lol, though I am pretty sure the first few weeks, would be spend in Ipoh eitherway. hehe..
I am also sure that I will get homesick somehow, it's as if I've not actually enjoyed my holidays enough at home.
Been doing alot of travelling this semester break.
Entering my 2nd year. Whoa, time does fly! Looking back, I was uncertain whether I was able to actually pass 1st year, but now, standing where I am now, there's no turning back. Have to actually crawl to the finishing line.
==2 more years to graduation, 2 more years to being apart, 2 more years to a career.==
Just ain't sure if I am able to hold onto this field.
Am trying to work harder, pull my CGPA a notch higher. Wouldn't want to have that someone special think I am useless.
Gotta work harder: "Aja Aja fighting!!"
Less play, more work.
Play hard, work even harder.
A new semester, a new Angkhian.
Look out world, I am only getting BETTER.(QUOTED FROM SWEELEEN)
UCITY is giving me a hell lot of work. Proposals to write, programmes to plan.
Gotta finish the touch up by tonight. Luckily there's Teehooi to help me.
Signs of me wanting my youth back.
Jongkang- jongkit (betulkah?) or better known as see-saw..
JunJia pulled me into playing this with him, and surprisingly, I was tempted. Gosh!
I just realized I didn't know how to play the swing. Buaian (betulkah?)
I couldn't get myself to swing higher, and eventually, the swing stops swinging. Perhaps a sign that I am growing heavier?
I find this picture absolutely breath-taking, hehhe..
Ok, from the left: 'Siao' Chee Huey, Hwei Yee, ME, and Mei Le. (spelling might be wrong because I remember them by their Chinese names)
All the girls above, except me, are all 19. Taken this picture in D.R park, when all of us couldn't stand the tension in St.John hall, so we went taking pictures in D.R park, which is just across the street.
MORE PICTURES AVAILABLE. SOON.

Went back to UTP this morning to clean my room, unpacked my stuffs, slowly breathed in the Tronoh air.
Still refuse to accept the fact that I don't want to go back to school.
Hehhe..what to do, so used to having nothing to do.
Lunch was with XiYi, Chong, Punchee, Melvin, Gabriel, ChongKian, and Joshua.
Where else, di tronoh lah! Joshua and I didn't talk at all, I wonder why. A barrier? but we are coursemates! Don't care la, hopefully things will resume to its oldself when the classes start.
Oh yeah, this is a picture I find rather interesting..
Tomorrow is the last day I am going to be in Ipoh. or leh ??

Tell yourself to stop complaining because it's not the world's fault if you are not happy, it's yours.

Clad in BRIGHT orange collared-shirt, I walked out from my room, feeling triumphant. Today's a brand new day, a new Monday, most importantly, a brand new semester. For today, I walk into the academic buildings, not only as a UTPian, but also a SECOND year senior.
Alright, enough of drama. So bla, bla..today's my first day back to TRONOH. Also known as the land of the faraway. No life here it seems.
Let me make a prediction for the rest of the semester.
It's gonna be twice the hectic-ness, twice the stress!

I personally hate the fact that people at our age is still pretty much "kiasu" in a way.
It's like some people would do something great behind your back, and you know nothing about it. Because they are probably afraid that you might jeopardize their chances, and they know it.
Well, I am glad that I can be threatening at times, yet it doesn't seem right to have something done behind my back, with me knowing.
I guess I have to just continue with my own studies, ignoring whatever that is happening around me, and pray that I am able to graduate on time.
Life is sucky when people are kiasu-lor..
If you think you are a smart fella, then just go ahead.
What goes around, comes around.
In the meantime, I will continue doing what I do best.

PENANG WAS AWESOME!
Really! The company was good. Wished that there would be more people, but it was the starting of the semester, not many would wanna travel. But it was fun.!
But I malas wanna elaborate panjang-panjang so just imagine that it was fun lah!
We went makan-makan spree and shopping spree. All the spree-spree was done..And we went to Kek Lok Si, climb so many stairs up, and see alot of things. Konon can see the whole Penang from that spot.
Food was cheap and ample. Seafood dinner was the best, with 8 dishes, it cost us only RM94, and all dishes were seafood okay..
And did I mention that our car broke down TWICE, on our way back to UTP?
Once in Bukit Tambun, and the other time at the long stretch on the way back. It was dark, and we had to wait about an hour for help to come.
There were 3 patrolling police cars who stopped and asked us what happened. And one tow truck too. But we were getting worried, in case if any mishaps were to happen. But help did arrive in time, all thanks to William and Ian.
I shall leave you to your thoughts, with a picture of me in Kek Lok Si.
