Monday the 13th and a special Valentine's gift :)

2012-02-16T09:32:00.000+08:00

Recently I got addicted to Brian Joo's songs from his new album and it led to me google-ing and youtube-ing nearly everything about him to find out more. To my surprise, I was missing out on a great artiste who just cared so much about his fans and he's such a nice person whom I feel I should support. Then, February came and Brian posted on his Twitter & Facebook account telling us (his fans) that he'd be uploading a video on Valentine's Day (which is kinda normal for any artiste right?) but in return he wanted us to upload a Valentine's Day video for him and post it up on his Facebook wall.

So I was excited to record the video but 'results day' came on Monday (a day before Valentine's) and the results kinda made me hit rock bottom. I failed 2 papers out of the 3 papers that I attempted and that means I'd have to repeat those 2 subjects this semester and resit the exams in June. There was so many things running in mind and that night I cried myself to sleep because I just held on to those tears for so many hours not wanting to show my parents the tears. Luckily I had already signed up for a short 6 week vocal class with Aaron Khaled at Enfiniti Academy and had a class on that result night itself so that really changed my mood for that day. I had so much fun with Aaron and my 2 classmates that it made me forget about my troubles for a bit.

On Tuesday itself I was home alone the whole day so I told myself to just record the video and upload it in hopes it would make my mood better. And it resulted in this.....

I checked my video on Brian's wall every hour or so hoping that Brian would like or even comment on the video. There were a few likes from fellow BFFs (Brian's Family and Friends) and I decided to just go to sleep and check it out the next day. Sure enough I had a like from Brian and a comment (a very long one)! I was such a happy girl the whole of that day and still am having the after effects like as if I had met Brian in real person.

That was my small little gift for Valentine's this year. :)

The One That Got Away - Katy Perry

A cover of The One That Got Away, my current favourite song.

One less shining star in the sky

2012-01-27T00:18:00.000+08:00

Watching this video brought tears to me. It showed me how someone loved the stage and performed one last concert when she knew her time here with us is coming to an end. Despite the pain she was going through and her physical condition, she managed to put up a memorable concert for her fans. If you do not know her, please do look her up on Youtube as you are missing out on a lot as she was THE DIVA and I believe it would be very hard to find someone as talented and committed as Anita Mui Yim Fong. One of my many inspirations in music. Mui jie, how I wished I was born earlier so that I could have attended one of your concerts and feel the vibe you gave to your fans and audience.

I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairytale

2011-12-19T15:05:00.000+08:00

I remember my friend introducing this song to me back in my last year of high school. At that time I wasn't a huge fan of Taylor Swift (yet). Fast forward 2 years, a day after final exams, I decided to just record a tiny bit of this song and dedicate it to Taylor Swift on her 22nd birthday. She's one of the main reasons I 'came back to music'. Hope you enjoy the video. Share it with your friends and I'll love you even more :) Merry Christmas & Happy New Year (just in case I don't blog in the next few weeks). I'll be in Melbourne with my family to visit my cousin.

Oh Hello November!

2011-11-01T22:14:00.000+08:00

Hello November! It seems like it was yesterday I said hello to November and now one whole year has passed. November has always been a month dedicated to studying and revising because in high school we had our year end exams and now in college I have my final exams in December. So yeah this month will be filled with revision classes and lots of catching up on what I've been missing especially when I was kinda lost in my own world for a bit. I've overcome that whole emo thing I was going through and hope to stay strong at least until finals are over. I'm going to work my butt off for finals just coz I want to pass those subjects and not meet the lecturers anymore next semester (for classes i.e resitting the paper). I just hope it's not too late.

On a brighter side, I'm looking forward for finals to be over because I'll be heading to Melbourne for 2 weeks to celebrate Christmas and New Year with my cousin and her family who are residing in Melbourne. Finally, I'll be heading to the Land Down Under! :) Hoping to catch up with any of my friends who are in Melb. I'll have to message them on Facebook to see if we could meet up. Got a few people on my mind like the Tham sisters : Kar Mun and Wai Mun and also primary school friends perhaps. Will see who is free to meet up.

To all those sitting for finals exams, Good Luck! Keep the spirits high and don't give up! We can do it people! :)

Broken Strings

2011-10-20T21:34:00.000+08:00

I've got a new Youtube collaboration project coming up :) I really hope we make it. I was approached by a fellow Youtuber from the US who say my cover of IU's version of 2AM's Can't Let You Go Even If I Die. She's got an idea in mind and it is inspired by Dream High, whereby there will be a group of people who will cover a few Kpop songs. The people consists of rappers and singers from all over the world. Not sure about the acting or dancing part because we're all in different countries so I think it would be quite hard to coordinate that bit so for now it's only singing. The idea is really cool! I want to thank Ri (Korean residing in US) for giving me a chance to be part of what I've always wanted to be (eventhough it's only something small) but it's interesting! I'll get to 'work' after my trial exams to record my parts in the songs and Ri will edit and mix them. It would take some time because there are so many people involved so I'll be patient for the end result. Kpop all the way babeyhh! Btw,the title of this project is Broken Strings.

I want these shoes! It will be out in Adidas Korea branch stores in November. Wearing these shoes in my next music video cover singing a 2NE1 song would be so cool! Anyone kind enough to buy it for me? XD Hahaha. Yet another item added to my wishlist. It seems to be getting longer.

You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one

2011-10-17T00:29:00.000+08:00

We had our CAT graduation yesterday at Sunway Convention Centre. The waiting process really killed me. I'm so lazy to elaborate further. Photos are up on Facebook. Will upload it here when I feel like it. Now, an update on myself.

I'm deteriorating day by day. I don't know how to control myself anymore. This somehow reminds me of my lecturer's story of how he dreaded going to the office where he used to work. My story is slightly different. I used to love music and it was normal because every teenager would love music right? But somehow my love for music developed even more over the years. I was interested in things that happened behind the scenes, before the song that we hear on the radio is released. Things like pre-production work like composition of a song, writing the lyrics, recording in the studios, how the song is structured etc etc. I discovered that this is what I have passion for and would love to do for the rest of my life. BUT on the other hand, I've already started studying ACCA and I know my parents will never let me stop studying to pursue music. They would surely want me to complete my studies first.

If you're wondering how bad the situation is,here's an example : I go to college for classes but most of the time I'm only physically present in class but my mind just travels to a far away place (most of the time,imagining myself on stage,thinking of a melody that would make a good song or humming a song i'm addicted to). Everytime there's a break, I would immediately take out my iPod to listen to a song. It's like a drug I'm addicted to. When I get back home, the first thing I check is Youtube to get some awesome songs that I don't have in my iPod then continue looking for interesting music until I abandon my homework and revision. Actually that's the reason for my failure in the PT1 & PT2. I didn't even try to study as hard as I used to. Everytime I try to study, there's this voice in my head and my heart tells me why are you here doing this when you don't enjoy it?

I've cried so many times because of this only to tell myself to just go through another 2 years or more and then try to convince my parents that music is really what I want to do as my everyday thing. People don't take it seriously when I say I want to become a singer/songwriter/entertainer that I end up saying it's just a hobby so that I don't get any further questions. It's not for the fame, it's for the love of music. Sometimes I just hope that someone would come scout me and make me a trainee with anyone who is willing to teach me because I'm just 'hungry' for musical knowledge that I know I have lots more to learn. I'm attracted to the way Korean artistes are trained : language lessons,dance,vocal classes,performance etc but I know it is so hard to get into any of the big entertainment agencies like YG or JYP Entertainment.

The only thing I look forward to nowadays is for my exams to be over so that I can record a song and upload it on Youtube. I recently bought a few things to add on to my 'mini home studio' and I'm eager to use it for my next video.

I don't know if I will have the courage to do this but I hope I will listen to my heart real soon because I can't take this pain anymore. It's bugging me every single day and one day I'm just going to explode like a bomb. May I have the strength to continue my studies and make my parents happy. May I control my feelings and finish my studies before embarking on my musical journey. From the passionate music lover. Liyana

PT2 Results

2011-10-01T21:39:00.000+08:00

As I had expected, I failed all 3 subjects yet again for Progress Test 2 but this time the marks went even lower than Progress Test 1. Yes,I'm worried but at the same time I don't want to put so much pressure on myself because things would be worse if I'm stressed up plus worried and I don't think I'll be able to study better in that situation. The results have been my worst marks ever in my life. I got a 20,31 & 45 for F6,F4 & F5. I guess my honeymoon days has to stop right now and I have to wake up from my dream and achieve my goals. I thought of giving up (yeah,i did) but what's the point of giving up when you've already put in so much effort before that and you're only 11 papers away from graduating? So yeah, I won't try to be the childish me that I really want to be but instead just work hard for the coming trial exams.

On a brighter side, our graduation ceremony is on the 15th of October :) And and and today,the number of my 'precious babies' have increased! My home studio project is finally about to kick start with the presence of a new mic stand,pop filter and Samson shock mount (which is arriving in a few days time). Now, I need to look for an acoustic guitar because my old one has really done a good job for the past 7 years and is now really old and not fit for recording sessions. I'm still looking around for that perfect guitar. Any suggestions? Btw, all these musical instruments and things related to music are all bought with my own savings (from ang paos & duit rayas from when I was a kid). My parents only top up a bit. So I'm no spoilt brat okayyyy!

Enough of crapping. Don't think I'll be updating for a long time so until the next time I see you,take care :) Anyongg!

Videos of performances at Korean Music Wave 2011

2011-09-28T23:26:00.000+08:00

If you didn't get a chance to attend the Korean Music Wave Concert at Stadium Merdeka last Saturday,then here's your chance to watch the performances. I've edited videos of most of the performances by artistes like FT Island, Teen Top, 4 Minute, U-KISS, Park Jung Min of SS501, Seungri, GD &TOP. This was done for my friend Eunice and I to look back at and recall the memories we had during the concert. It's Seungri, GD & TOP's first time here in Malaysia so we were all very excited. As a new VIP (name for Big Bang fans), I'm fortunate enough for not needing to wait so long for them to come to Malaysia. For some of my friends who have been their fan since 2006, they really were patient enough to wait for so many years. Anyway, here's the video for you to enjoy and go high like how I was. :)

Korean Music Wave 2011 Malaysia

Photos from Korean Music Wave 2011,Stadium Merdeka. Sorry only allowed to bring in compact camera and the quality of the photos are quite bad. Anyhow,it was the best concert I have attended by far. Good sound system. Main reason I went was : FT Island but somehow a few weeks before the concert I became a Big Bang fan (like finallyyyy) so it was really worth it. Bought the RM 288 tickets coz that's the most mum would allow me to pay for a ticket. Videos will be compiled and uploaded later. For now enjoy the photos :)

Favourite photo of the day :) Makes me melt.

Baby good night!

PT2 round the corner but I just ........

2011-09-15T20:49:00.000+08:00

I'm trying to get back into my blogging mood. This week just flew pass that I couldn't quite remember what exactly happened. There was Ying Yiing and Wai Seng's birthday (on seperate days) and nothing much but attending lectures and revising for the upcoming Progress Test 2. I think I have actually changed my 'strategy' for ACCA. I don't want to pressure myself for the Progress Tests but instead focus on the final exams because I'm quite a slow learner, I need to repeat the things I learn many many times before it actually enters my brain. So for ACCA where we have so much info to input, I don't think my brain can take it in such a short time but hopefully in the long run (the 80 odd days I have left) I can manage to slowly revise and get it right in my head before sitting for the exams. Trying to keep a positive mind and maintain focused so that there won't be anymore emotional breakdowns due to stress.

I have a strong feeling I'll fail the PT2 coz I was just too busy enjoying Raya back in JB that I didn't touch my book at all but yeah it's worth it because the moment you have with your family is more important then studies at times. I can always study another day but Raya only comes once a year and you never know whether your loved ones will be here to celebrate the next Raya with you or not. For now I've got 3 more days to prepare for PT2 so I'll just put in my best effort without sacrificing my beauty sleep. Here's a song that will bring you back down memory lane to maybe when we were about 7 years old? Enjoyy

This song is so old skool but I love it! Already replayed it few times XD

What I've Wanted to Say for Quite some time

2011-09-12T23:59:00.001+08:00

I never was someone who would cry easily but for the past few months I succumbed to the pressure I put on myself and the expectations I had for myself. There were times when I really felt like giving up but I just couldn't bring myself to tell my parents. The only consolation I had for myself was that life would be much easier when I complete ACCA,the sky is the limit as they say. However, there were still voices in my head telling me why be stuck in this course and cause myself so much pain when there's something else you love more and have passion for : music. Yeah,I would love to pursue music as a career because I just have so much passion for it that I'm so protective of music like a mother is protective of her child. That is how much I love music. When I'm on stage, it's a different me, not the shy quiet person I always am. There's just this energy that comes to me that makes me feel very comfortable. I guess that's what you get when you're so passionate about something.

Then people ask me, why continue doing ACCA? Well I guess for parents they always want their children to have a qualification and have a stable job so they won't have to worry about us. Yeah,that's part of it and also the fear I have in myself about not being able to breakthough the overly saturated music industry. There's just so many what if's playing in my mind. The aim is to complete ACCA no matter how hard it will be and then I'll specialise into something music related. Maybe work in a music company and see how things go from there. I hope to complete my ACCA papers by the age of 22 and then try my luck with either applying to become a trainee in Korean music company or just continue being the singer songwriter on Youtube until someone discovers me or worst come to worst drag myself into an audit firm to work and see what life has to offer me. Okay now that this whole chunk of thing is written here in my blog, a burden has been lifted from my shoulders. It feels much better now. I hope my dreams come true one day. For now, I'll continue my life as a student and from time to time pour my feelings into lyric writing and composing. Night!

I haven't been actively blogging for quite some time. Randomly checked my blog and saw the number of hits at 10,000. It's been a long journey since I first started this blog in 2007 when I was in Form 3. There were so many ups and downs,decisions I had to make,feelings I couldn't express to people close to me and thoughts that I shared with my dear blog. Right now I just cannot find time to blog or just write a post or maybe I just lost interest in blogging because everyone just tweets or checks their FB accounts. I hope to return to blogging one day because I still prefer long blog posts detailing everything that happened at an event, just a random outing with friends together with photos rather than just tweeting about something or just uploading photos on Facebook. I'll be back (singing to 2PM's I'll Be Back) when I find the excuse for myself to start blogging again. Till that time when I start actively blogging,take care and see you soon! :)

This song makes me feel so relaxed. This shall be one of those songs I'll listen to when I'm stressed up. Hope you had a great time celebrating Eid with your family. I've got to start nerding for my 2nd progress test. Urgghh I hate this. Patience patience,i'll finish this off soon. Ciao

Met up with Shahriman and Airina today to watch Harry Potter! Sad to say goodbye to The Boy Who Lived. Harry Potter was a part of my life ever since I first watched the movie when I was 10. I moved on to buying the books and read it until I memorised most of the lines. And now years have passed and here I am telling myself 'HP is over'.

I hope we remain friends like Harry,Hermione and Ron. I miss my high school friends who were there to share my joy and sadness. I miss all of you especially those who are abroad : Nadia Farhana and Nik Fatin Farhana!! Baliklah cepatttt!

A man that lowers his gaze when at the presence of woman, seems more handsome than the others.

Don't marry a man unless you would be proud to have a son exactly like him.

Start your day with بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

“Prophet Muhammad salAllaahu ‘alayhi wassallam said:
“Whoever fasts one day for the sake of Allaah, Allaah will keep his face seventy years’ distance from Hell,” (al-Nasaa’i, 2247;)”

I'm in the process of rediscovering myself and insyaallah will become a better muslim. There's just so many things that I was ignorant about before this but am trying my best to learn and absorb and most importantly put it into actions.

New Semester New Subjects and maybe a change in style of studying?

2011-07-06T22:36:00.000+08:00

Hello July 2011. I didn't expect to see you this soon. Maybe I was too busy enjoying my holidays that I didn't realise that it came to an end. This time round, I bid farewell to my 'sem break' with a heavy heart knowing that the I would need to work extra hard this semester as I'm progressing into a new phase in my studies : ACCA. Well I can't really say this officially because I don't even know the results for my CAT exams yet. If I were to fail any of the 3 subjects, I would need to defer my ACCA to the next sem and finish off whatever paper I failed (it's an MQA thingy lah). So I am praying very very hard that the examiners would just give me a 50 so that I don't have to worry about resitting for the papers and having to wait 6 long months to enter ACCA. So for the next few weeks, I'll just pray that I get the results that I want and proceed with ACCA.

Now, I'll just assume that I passed CAT. I've got to change my studying style because the last semester, I really slacked a lot! The 3 subjects I am currently taking are F4 : Corporate & Business Law, F5 : Performance Management and F6 : Taxation. F4 requires a lot of memorising, F5 would be my weaker subject as I never liked costing and budgetting, F6 would be okay I guess with lots of practice.

Hoping for good news when results are announced. Till then, assalamualaikum and see you soon insyaallah.

Finals finals finals!

2011-06-10T16:22:00.000+08:00

Having final exams right now. The first paper was a disaster. Never seen any paper as hard as this one. Maybe I wasn't well prepared but I definitely had a tough time completing the paper. The 3 hours and 15 minutes was like going through a battle I didn't know whether I would win or not. Seeing the difficult questions, I changed my 'strategy'. I told myself I had to complete the paper no matter what in 3 hours and 15 minutes and just give it my all. That's exactly what I did so now I have no regrets and all I can do is to pray that I pass the paper. Another 2 papers to go : Audit & Tax and I'm off for a holiday! Yay! Will try to update my blog frequently after I'm done with finals. Andddd I can't wait for Tok Pah to come up to KL. I suddenly miss her :)

Reunited :)

2011-06-08T21:23:00.000+08:00

Assalamualaikum. Finally I met more people from the Al Mahdaly clan last weekend! I was very happy to meet them and renew our family ties. For some of us, it was a very long time since we last met them and some of the younger ones haven't even met any of them. Words can't really express how I felt so let's just let the photos do the talking.

I'm missing everyone already. I am looking forward to the next big event where everyone reunites :) Yeah,suddenly I feel like being with my extended family. <3

Off to study for my two remaining papers.

Someone Like You - Adele

2011-05-25T15:57:00.000+08:00

'Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead' - Adele

No, I'm not in love. Just loving this song and appreciating the lyrics Adele wrote. Someday when I break up, I'll sing this song or maybe write a song like this.

On a different note, I'm on study leave now so I'm at home all day supposed to be studying but I do drift away to my own world sometimes. I'll be trying my best to finish revising what I'm supposed to and hopefully pass the 3 subjects I'm taking. :)

Looking forward to 14th June so I can finally bid farewell to CAT and say hello to ACCA in July (and start suffering more next sem). Haha!

That's it for today. Have a great day ahead! Stay positive and smileeee :)

Firework - Katy Perry

2011-04-20T20:55:00.000+08:00

I haven't written a real blog post for a very long time. It's either I didn't have the mood or I just didn't know what to write about. Wow, I've been in college for one year now. I've got 6 more weeks to go for final exams. In July, I'll be entering ACCA and I'm sure life is going to be much tougher then onwards. Trials (mock exams) are in 5 days' time and I seem to be so relaxed, sitting and using the laptop like nobody's business.

Before my PT2, I had this 'teen conflict thingy' in myself. My heart was telling me to do something else and my mind was saying no don't do it. It was the usual music vs accounting talk that my heart had with my mind (whatever that actually means). Basically I was confused and I had doubts with what I actually chose to do : accountancy. I couldn't focus in class and couldn't concentrate with my revision. I was really feeling very down. Whenever I took out my book to study/revise, there's that voice in my mind asking me 'why are you doing this boring thing? why read a book? go pick up the guitar,compose a song etc etc. I really had a tough time trying to get myself to study.

As expected, my results for PT2 dropped quite drastically except for Tax. I failed T7 and post-PT2 was even worst. I cried a few times because of my T7 results. I mean the questions was not very tough but yet I couldn't answer it and furthermore I failed the bloody paper. I was disappointed in myself and the things that was happening around me. I just broke down and couldn't take it. Somehow when I'm emo or feeling down, I have that idea or melody that runs in my mind so I composed a song and it really did stop my tears from flowing.

Now for Mock Exams, I have to keep reminding myself to study because I don't want to disappoint my parents. I'll have to put in more effort and time into studying and hopefully I will pass this obstacle. Sorry for this super long emo post but it's the only thing that makes me feel better. Like a burden is lifted from my shoulder. I hope you are surviving college/uni. Till my next proper post. Thanks for reading if you read till this line. :)

Dream High cover :D

2011-04-04T17:39:00.000+08:00

I took approximately 3 days to finish this video. It was my first time editing the audio, adding back up vocals, inserting overlays etc etc. Now I really respect editors and technical people who work behind the scenes of the songs you listen to and music videos you watch. It really is tough trying to get the timing right and then screwing it up and yada yada yada. But I had a lot of fun in the process of producing this video because I got to learn a lot of new things which I didn't know of previously. I hope to improve my editing skills really soon (when I have time to slowly learn and practice). Hope you enjoy it! Please share this on your FB wall, RT it on Twitter and help my video get more views. Thank you for your support! :)

Dream High!

2011-03-20T23:51:00.001+08:00

I am officially having the Dream High fever! Yes, I love all these dramas with singing,dancing,composing etc etc. And in Dream High, they have everything. When I was watching it, I felt so much joy in myself. I want to be like those people in Dream High, being able to achieve their dreams of becoming performers, entertainers and singers. But it's only a show. No matter what, I will still keeping Dreaming High and keep that passion of mine for music deep in my heart.

Alhamdulilah,praise Allah for all his blessings

2011-02-23T16:44:00.000+08:00

Alhamdulilah I passed all 4 subjects I took last semester. Trying to access into my account to get the results was like waiting for the sky to fall. I had to click refresh so many times and most of the time it showed 'webpage not available'. Finally at about 2pm, I got my results (in Popeye's Sunway Pyramid to be exact but Wendy's wifi connection LOL). Now it's time to focus for the remaining 3 subjects I'm taking : T7,T8 & T9 (Performance Management,Audit and Tax). Off to study for Progress Test 1 (beginning 1st March). The horror!

Performance at SCAPE,Singapore

2011-02-15T12:20:00.000+08:00

Hey guys! How have you been? I hope you had a great CNY with your family and friends :) I just wanted to share with you this video of me performing for the Be Like Taylor Swift contest finals in Singapore. I made it to the Top 15,thanks to your support! Although I didn't get to meet Taylor Swift in person because I couldn't make it to Singapore, I gained a lot of experience from this competition. I realised how much people support me and hope I make it through to the finals. I guess it's just not my luck to meet Taylor yet.

Here's the video... I wished you guys were there to cheer for me ;)

I don't know what to say...

2011-02-04T19:14:00.000+08:00

This seriously sucks! I've got a Taylor Swift concert ticket and a Meet & Greet pass right in front of me but I have a feeling I'm not going. I'll have to travel alone and I need to stay overnight in Singapore. Plus I might miss classes and mum isn't happy about it. I don't know how to face this. It's a dream come true for me to meet Taylor Swift in person. Something I never imagined would happen to me. It's so close yet so far. I'm waiting for a miracle to happen. Like seriously. I don't know what to feel or how to react to this.

Never had I imagined

Can you see the name at number 17??? Yayy!

Never had I imagined that I would get into the Top 20 of this contest. When I looked at the number of votes (likes) I had a day before the contest ended, I told myself 'nahhh,you wouldn't get a chance, there are so many other videos which got thousands of votes while mine was still at 505 votes'. So I kinda got over it as I wasn't expecting to be in the Top 20.

'He' had his plans for me and on Wednesday evening I received an email from the organisers informing me that I was selected as the Top 20. My initial reaction was : is this real or am i in a dream?

So there was a debate at home whether I could go or not. Well, the reasons were mostly transportation and the expenses we needed to incur. I managed to convince my mum that I really wanted to go and I couldn't disappoint the people who have supported me and voted for my video. And finally she said okay.

I've been practising really hard hoping I wouldn't forget the lyrics or the chords.This is only my 2nd time performing on stage with the guitar (singing and playing) so I'm kinda nervous. I hope everything goes well and turns out good. Pray for me. Wish me luck.

Be Like Taylor Swift contest. Vote for my video!

I know I shouldn't be doing this right now as the family is still mourning and I should show some respect to my uncle who just passed away but the timing isn't right etc etc. The last day for submission of videos is on the 23rd which is this Sunday. So I decided to go ahead with it as long as I know the boudaries. I recorded this video in the afternoon.

I really hope I get a chance to meet Taylor Swift in person! She's my inspiration and I really want to see her like face to face! The contest is based on 50% public voting and 50% judges. So what you have to do if you want to show me your support is :

1) Go to this link http://taylorswiftsg.getmusicasia.com/vid127

2) Watch the video

3) Click the LIKE button below the video (you have to be logged in to Facebook)

4) Share the link on your FB wall, tweet it or tell your friends about it.

5) Keep your fingers crossed that I will be in the Top 20 at least

Top 20 contestants will be chosen to compete against each other on 30th Jan 2011 in Singapore. Top 15 will be chosen and the Top 15 will get a Taylor Swift concert ticket and a Meet and Greet pass. Isn't that awesome? By voting,you are giving me a better chance to meet Taylor Swift live in Singapore! If I really get to meet her, I will remember you for life! Seriously!

Al Fatihah

After class today, received news about my uncle (aunty's husband - dad's side). He passed away this morning, collapsed while he was playing golf. Sad that I can't make it back to JB to be by my aunty's side and my cousins but I ain't got a choice. Dad went back to JB this morning,right after getting the news. He was buried at about 6pm as they had to wait for one of my cousins to come back from Sabah (where he is based).

The news was quite sudden coz he didn't look like he was sick the last time I saw him. I'm feeling quite emo right now, can't seem to focus on things I'm supposed to do. I can't imagine the coming Hari Raya this year. It surely will be different. Though I wasn't close to him, I surely feel kinda empty right now. Semoga rohmu dicucuri rahmat dan ditempatkan bersama orang yang beriman. Al Fatihah untuk Uncle Sahari. You will be missed.

Hello 2011 :)

2011-01-08T09:57:00.001+08:00

It's my first blog post for 2011. Counting down to the new year was so different this time round as I was in London with my family for a holiday. It felt so weird as I logged into Facebook on 31st December 2010 only to find my friends updating their status saying they are not back from the countdown yet, they are out enjoying themselves with friends and it's 3am in the morning yada yada yada. I looked around me and realised I was in a different time zone and it was still 31st December.

A few hours later, I started to feel 'oh okay,it's new year's eve'. My cousins came to pick me up from where we were staying and drove to Westminster for the 2011 Countdown. Finding a place to park was the first issue. We went round and round and finally found a spot to park like 10 minutes walk from the place we were heading to. By that time, it was about 11.40pm. We were somewhere near the London Eye (well not really so near but close enough to see the fireworks).

With the cousins :)

Bye bye 2010, Hello 2011

That's the London Eye somewhere hidden back there

The crowd..

I was too tired to actually remember the names of the places accurately. We took pics outside Westminster Abbey, where Prince William will get married this year.

More photos and travel journal posts coming soon. Hope you had a great new year!

Happy 21st Birthday Taylor Swift!

2010-12-13T01:50:00.000+08:00

Happy 21st birthday Taylor Swift!

Thank you for inspiring me! Thank you for the wonderful music you compose!

I dedicate this video of me singing Speak Now to you. Have a great birthday! And I really hope you could come to Malaysia in the nearest future! :) Love from Malaysia... Liyana <3

Finals round the corner :(

2010-12-02T16:28:00.000+08:00

Here I am 3 days before my final exams. I don't know how to feel right now, on one hand I want finals to be over but come to think of it, I need more time to revise. I'm just hoping for the best,trying no to freak myself out last minute and do all I can with whatever that's left. 4 subjects,hope to pass all of them. Btw,I failed 3 subjects for trials,hence the low confidence level.

Ok,I shall now talk about Youtube and singing etc. I submitted a video for the MBC Auditions,Korea. So far, been getting good feedback and great support from my friends, who have been voting everyday despite the finals round the corner, thank you guys! You know who you are :) Ermm,I submitted a video to the Brandnewstar contest too,but I was thinking of submitting my own song (song that I composed) but I haven't had time to record it and there's a confusing thing about Brandnewstar, on the website it says that the closing date is on 19th December but on the email they sent me it said 10th December. So I really hope it's actually 19th December, so that I have time to record the song I composed after finals.

I came across this mic that I really love and want to save up to buy it! Right now I just record the songs with my Vaio and there is always the noise there even after noise reduction. I know mum won't buy it for me, she'll just say 'why waste money on a mic?' So yeah,I'll have to save money to get this darling so that my Youtube videos will sound nicer :)

Audio-Technica AT2020 USB Condenser USB Microphone

On Amazon,this is USD$ 92.95 after discount

Anyone kind enough to buy it for me? XD

That's about it for now, will update after finals. I hope to be able to answer the questions. I wanna pass pass pass the subjects!

MBC Star Auditions! :D

HONG KONG - Day 2

2010-11-16T13:18:00.001+08:00

27th January 2010. On the 2nd day, we woke up at about 8am and went downstairs for breakfast. The food was quite good. I'd give it a 4 out of 5 star rating. Lots of choice and plenty of top ups. Oh I forgot to mention that Disneyland was jam packed with mainland Chinese because apparently they were having school holidays so everywhere I walk to, I hear all these people speaking in the typical Chinese Mandarin style.

After breakfast, we went around the Hollywood Hotel (where we were staying) to take photos of the antique cars they had on display.

The long queue waiting for the bus to bring them to the Disneyland theme park

Moving on, we went to Ngong Ping 360 which is located on Lantau Island itself. It is a 30 minute cable car ride which begins from Tung Chung to North Lantau. During the ride, we saw some panaromic views of the HK Airport, mountains in Lantau Island and the Big Buddha Statue. We arrived at Ngong Ping village and had to climb a the stairs up to the Big Buddha statue (if you're from Malaysia, think Batu Caves) ;)

Sorry for not blogging for a long while. I miss blogging but I don't seem to have the time to really blog about college life etc. Yesterday, I joined an audition (U Online Talentine) and here's the video. I was really nervous but it was a great experience. Hope to overcome the nervousness I get on stage. :)

HONG KONG - Day 1 Way overdueee

2010-10-26T12:37:00.000+08:00

Last month, my family and I went to Hong Kong for 6 days 5 nights. Hong Kong has always been my dream destination as I have been watching Hong Kong TV series since 2004 and I find it very interesting. I would constantly persuade my mum, asking her when are we going to Hong Kong and all that stuff. Finally she agreed and we booked our tickets last year. Here's my travel journal.

Day 1 (26th Jan 2010)

After dreaming and dreaming of going to Hong Kong for years, I finally arrived in Hong Kong International Airport at about 10.30 am and waited for my cousin to arrive from Shanghai. Went to buy the Octopus card (to be used for public transport : MTR, tram, mini bus, bus etc). My cousin's flight was slightly delayed so when she touched down, we immediately went to catch a taxi and Disneyland, Here I Come!!! I don't remember Disneyland at all as I was only 6 or 7 when I first went to Disneyland in Paris. So I became like a kid and enjoyed Disneylanddd! :D

With my parents XD

Disneyland's yummy yummy popcorn!

Pluto,Goofy,Donald!

First time VLOG-ging

2010-10-06T09:59:00.000+08:00

Hey hey! My trials are in 1 and a half weeks time. I've got no classes today so here I am at home thinking what song to record next. Anyway,here's a Vlog post (my first time)! :)

Love Story by Taylor Swift

2010-10-01T17:51:00.000+08:00

I just felt like recording this song as I miss my 5 Siantan 09 classmates. Miss the times we sang this song in class and also when we were in school on Valentine's Day last year, we sang this in class. I miss you Siantanese!! Hope you view it and like the video :D

Parent-Lecturer Day

2010-09-27T17:40:00.001+08:00

Today was our Parent-Lecturer Day. Overall, lecturers said I needed to work harder so that I can achieve higher grades for my Mock Exam. For Progress Test 2, I got 75.5% for T3, 56% for T4, 69% for T5 and 55.5% for T6. Yes, I passed all papers but the lecturers say I need to put in more effort as the Mock Exams and real exams will be harder. I guess, I'll have to put my studies as my main priority right now as exams will be in December and I don't want to fail any of the 4 papers I am taking. Therefore, this blog of mine will be idle for some time and the recording of myself singing will also have to be put on hold. It's sad but I have to choose studies over my hobby. I shall blog or record myself singing when I feel like it so I can't promise when exactly I'll blog/record but I shall find time to blog once or twice a month. Wish and pray for me! All the best to you people too :) Thank you for reading my blog. :) Take care!

Sorry for not updating for so long. Was busy with Raya and was down with fever after that. Here's another video of me singing. Enjoy!!

Thank you..

2010-08-25T14:18:00.000+08:00

I received many comments from my friends on Facebook after I posted a link to my video singing Wang Lee Hom's 'Ni bu zhe dao de shi'. The video that I posted on Youtube has got 260 views after posting it up for 4 days. I would say that's an achievement for me coz the other 2 videos I posted up a few months ago didn't even reach 100 views. I'd say this is my first big step into making myself known on the internet. My target is to reach 500 views,hopefully that is possible. I would try to record myself singing other songs so that there is some variety for people to choose from. That would be done during my Hari Raya break. I'd like to thank my friends who viewed and commented on the video and also whoever else who viewed them. Thank you :)

I've also opened an account on www.alivenotdead.com. Do view www.alivenotdead.com/liyana17 Now that feeling of wanting to become a singer is back. It's just right there at the bottom of my heart, telling me everytime that I should follow my dreams.. So, I'll continue with my studies and hopefully complete ACCA in 3-4 years and at the same time continue composing songs and singing songs to make myself happyy and other people too :) Thank you once again.

I still can't get enough of All The Things You Never Knew by Wang Lee Hom. We keep singing Lee Hom's songs during classes until our lecturers get quite fed up. Everytime I search for the song on Youtube, I see so many people doing a cover of the song so I decided to record myself singing and see how many views I can get :) Enjoy!!

Love in Disguise 恋爱通告 (Lian Ai Tong Gao)

2010-08-15T00:03:00.002+08:00

Hello there. Sorry for not updating my blog for so long. I have been very very busy with college and when I have time, I either log on to Facebook or go to Youtube to search for nice music videos. So,what have you people been up to? I went to watch Wang Lee Hom's movie : Love in Disguise with a bunch of friends. The movie had a very simple storyline but it was funny especially the 'bullshit' part. Lol XD

In this movie, Lee Hom plays Du Ming Han who is a pop idol living a lonely life, always in the limelight

and under the scrutiny of the media and his legions of fans. His manager Joan Chen tries to protect him being mobbed but DMH has a habit of disguising himself to escape the papparazi and fans.

When his vehicle accidentally knocks into music student (Crystal Liu as Song Xiao Qing), DMH envisions "exotic music and butterflies" and decides that she is his 'soul-mate'. Abetted by his friend and band member Wei Zhi Bo (Chen Han Dian), the duo masquerade as country bumpkins and enrolled at the Far East Music Academy where Xiao Qing is learning Chinese traditional music.

My friends and I are all 'Lee Hom-fied' now. His songs especially the ones from his latest album is on replay for most of us. You can't deny that he's a great composer and that his music is unique as he combines modern and traditional chinese sounds. He is such a talented person. Good news for Malaysians, he'll be in Malaysia on 22nd August (next Sunday) at One Utama. All you need to do is buy his latest album 18 Martial Arts (Malaysian edition) and you'll get a free pass. I'm not sure whether I'm going or not,hope my mum says yes! :)

CN Blue!

2010-08-07T23:10:00.001+08:00

CN Blue is my current addiction. I <3 Yong Hwa! I can now be officially called a K-Pop fan :)
Enjoy their Love MV!

Edit : I was first introduced to CN Blue early this year but I didn't really pay attention to them as I was only interested in Yong Hwa (because I watched You're Beautiful and loved Shin Woo in it). Then early this month (August) I just downloaded their whole album and listened to their songs. I fell in love with I'm A Loner from their previous album and now Love from Bluelove. Hello to all you CN Blue fans out there! I am hoping CN Blue will come to Malaysia soon! They'll be in Singapore next week and my friend is going...Ahhhh! Yong Hwa, saranghaeeee!!

What The tootttt

2010-07-16T00:59:00.000+08:00

I suddenly had the urge to blog hence this post but I don't really know what to blog about. I had difficulty sleeping for the past week and I think it's because I've been thinking a lot. Our Progress Test (PT) is in 2 weeks time and I am so not ready for it. To make things worse, I need to get at least 60% so that I don't get barred for the actual exams in December (for T5). I relate it to something like playing a game ; you must get this minimum score so that you don't get eliminated from 'the game'. I guess it's the normal to be nervous and worry about these kind of things but sometimes it's uncontrollable that you think of it every night. I always tell myself I have to stop going online and spend more time revising and doing homework but I end up not obeying to the rules I set myself. Let's just say I lack self discipline. It happens again and again from PMR to SPM and now college. Argghhh! I feel much better after blogging about this. Nites

I Wanna Be A BILLIONAIRE So Freaking Bad

2010-07-11T23:17:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow would mark my 2nd week in the 2nd semester in Sunway. So far, classes have been quite okay and not very hectic YET. The busiest day would be Thursday when I have classes from 8am up to 6.15pm and the least busy day is Wednesday when I only have a 2 hour T4 class from 3.15pm to 5.15pm.

This semester I am taking 4 subjects namely, T3 : Maintaining Financial Records, T4 : Accounting for Costs, T5 : Managing People and Systems and T6 : Drafting Financial Statements. Last week, we had classes for T3,4 & 5 and we have homework! I haven't had homework for ages and my brain's kind of rusty so I have to polish it. As T5 is a theory based paper, we have to memorise a lot of stuff and write essay form answers (it actually reminds me of doing Sejarah essays back in Form 4 and 5).

Enough said, I need to get back to doing my T3 and T5 homework. I guess there will be a major lack of update as this semester 'time is precious' and I promised myself to work harder. So till my next update, take care and enjoy life,people! :)

Kai Fan gang!

2010-07-03T00:31:00.002+08:00

Let me introduce to you my Kai Fan Gang aka Lame Group! It all started during the 2nd of 3rd week of the 1st semester when we left class slightly earlier and ended up having lunch at the Kai Fan stall near college. Kai Fan gang = Amanda (if you're from BU4, you will know her as Yue Qi), Jasmine, Wei Kin, Eugene, Ming Jet and I. Well, Wei Kin and Jasmine have kind of known each other as they found out that they are bananas (a term used for Chinese who don't speak Mandarin). *ahem ahem* For the rest of us, we have met but we didn't quite get to know each other yet. So that lunch outing was an ice breaker, quite fun as we cracked jokes and got to know each other better. We labeled Wei Kin as the chicken lover and a leftover eater as he ate most of our leftovers like my chicken skin from the nasi lemak I had and the others' chicken feet from the soup that came with the Chicken Rice.

From then on, I had lunch with the 'Kai Fan' gang most of the time and we had study groups at the library together too. We also came up with an English name for Wei Kin : Bobby, when we were bored of studying at the library. Most of our classmates are already calling him Bobby. Lol! There was once when we entered an empty class to so call have our study group but ended up listening to songs, thanks to EUGENE KHOO and we went high. Eugene's tagline : Woohooooo! He's a big fan of Wang Lee Hom and Jay Chou which is so different from my first impression of him. I thought he was a K-Pop fan or something because of his hairstyle but it turns out that Bobby's a fan of Korean songs.

Amanda.Me.Jasmine

my kai fan gang! XD

Had a lot of fun with these people in the first semester of college. Hoping for the same throughout CAT and ACCA :) Looking forward to seeing them and not forgetting my fellow G11 classmates! Semester 2,here we come! Wooohhoooooo! Oh ya, Happy 18th Birthday,Bobbyyyy! You've got yourself a K-Pop friend now ;) hehe

BEAST B2ST Showcase in Malaysia

2010-06-30T01:42:00.003+08:00

Last week, my dear friend Sela called me to ask whether I wanted to go to BEAST's showcase at KL Live on Saturday. The first thing I asked her was 'Who is BEAST?' only to get a reply saying 'Liyana,kau kena pergi jugak! Kau takkan menyesal sebab dia orang cool gila! etc etc. Since I had nothing to do during the weekend, I agreed to go. I was bored at home as I'm having my semester break and decided to Google them up so that I wouldn't be such a noob when I go to their showcase on Saturday. Honestly, I never heard of BEAST before and didn't know what to expect from them (sorry Beast fans if you're reading this).

On Saturday itself, went to Sela's house in the morning and she 'introduced' me to BEAST's songs and gave me the album she bought as we needed to buy the album to get a ticket to the showcase. I flipped through the album and spotted two guys that captured my attention. They were Du Jun and Gi Kwang. We left PJ at 4.30 pm and went to Taylors Lakeside to pick her friend Nad.

Arrived at KL Live at about 5pm and saw the super long queue and I knew we had to wait for a very long time. We joined the queue and suddenly Nad saw her friend and what we did was : potong queue. Met a few other people and became instant friends. We also got tickets with yellow ribbons instead of the pink ribbons we originally had (given by one of our new friends). Thank you Dalidaaaa!! We only found out the pass with yellow ribbons were VIP tickets a few minutes before the gates were open. Quickly ran to the other queue which was on the other side and it was so much more shorter than the line we were in before that. Waited and waited for so long and only got to go in at 8pm. VIP ticket holders get to sit upstairs instead of being squashed like sardines downstairs. We sat down and waited patiently for BEAST to appear while they blasted BEAST's songs on the speakers.

I was so bored of waiting and decided to explore a bit and found that the curtains covering the side of the stage was not closed meaning I could open it slightly and see the backstage (which is downstairs). So I waited there hoping to get a glimpse of BEAST backstage and sure enough I saw 6 guys dressed in white smart casual attire. Sadly, I didn't have my camera with me so only got to capture it on my phone.

And they started performing! Their vibe is really wow! It makes you feel like dancing and we really went high! I was just screaming and enjoying myself. Furthermore, the stage was below us and everytime a member went to the side of the stage to take a bottle of water to drink, they were like so near us! Ahhh...my oppas!

Du Jun oppa sweating...

Gi Kwang oppa!

Mystery mystery......mystery mystery..

Du Jun oppa singing

Caught them backstage once again... such a stalker! XD

THE INCIDENT! I called Sela and Nad to come to the 'stalker position' near the curtains and we were desperately calling Oppa,oppa! hoping that one of the BEAST members would look up and wave at us. This was when they were about to walk up on stage after a costume change. Then I spotted them coming out so we started calling Oppa, oppa and they heard us but didn't know where the voice was coming from. Last try : Oppa oppa up up! and finallllyyyyy Jun Hyung oppa looked up and smiled at us! Ahhhh...that was enough to cairkan us. I can still remember his smileeee!

Autograph session..

SHOCK by BEAST/B2ST

Conclusion : It was not a waste of time going for the showcase (except the waiting bit) and it was a great experience. I am surely affected by the K-Pop wave right now. Everyday I can't stop myself from listening to their songs! I think the organisers could have done better as it was quite chaotic and there wasn't any announcements or indications that the different coloured ribbons meant it was VIP and normal passes. But all in all, it was a crazy night and I surely did enjoy myself! BEAST rocks!

Special thanks to : Syarifah Suhaila,Nad, Dalida (Dolly unnie), Liyana (Nad's friend) and my other new K-Pop friends I made at KL Live. See you guys soon!

Really Good Words by Jeremy (Lee Hongki)

2010-06-27T00:57:00.000+08:00

Remember the Korean drama I watched after SPM entitled You're Beautiful? I loved this song that Jeremy sang for Go Mi Nam in the bus when she rejected his love. It was such a sad scene. If you haven't watched the drama, I suggest you go watch it! Anyway, I was bored and decided to record myself singing the song. Please rate and comment the video on Youtube. Thanks! Kamsahamnidaaaa...

Exams = Stress = Lack of Sleep etc etc

2010-06-12T23:01:00.000+08:00

My first post for this month,June. I have been busy preparing for exams hence the lack of update. Today was my mock exam and it nearly killed me (literally). Honestly, I didn't study for T1 (I only flipped the pages and looked through an hour before exams). There was a system error anyway so everyone's marks were like either in the 30s or 40s. I got 40 out of 100. That was over and done with and then came T2 at 11.30am. I was so scared I would get barred. I needed 52 marks to make my average for PT1,PT2 and Mock Exam to be 60%. Exam started and I found myself clicking the next button for the first 10 minutes of the exams. I panicked and my mind went blank so I had no choice but to tembak so many questions especially the ones with calculations. I only knew how to do 10 or 15 questions. When I wanted to click the submit button I was like 'wateva lah, if it's my luck, i'll pass' and clicked ..... got 56%. That was a relief.

Next would be actual exams next Saturday before we get a 2 week break. I am very exhausted so after lunch I slept up to 7pm, watched TV, ate dinner and now blogging. Going to sleep in a bit. I wanna blog about my new found 'kai fan' gang which comprises Wei Kin (the chicken lover & leftover eater), Eugene Khoo (the korean looking Wang Lee Hom fan), Ming Jet (MJ! Soya cincau), Jasmine and Yue Qi (Amanda,this one not new found lah,sudah 5 tahun kenal). That's going to be in my next post (most prob during holidays). You kids having school holidays, have fun lah. PMR and SPM IS KACANG! College banyak stress! Nite folks.

My Passion(s)

2010-05-25T14:43:00.000+08:00

I am sure everyone has got passion for 'that something' be it music,nature,aviation,travelling etc etc. I have always had the passion for music,aviation and accounting/finance. I decided to write about my passion(s) to share the story behind why I have passion for music,aviation and accounting/finance.

This post was originally written on 9th April but was left hanging in my draft so I decided to complete it today. I think I still need to edit it. But for now here it is...

Passion # 1 - Music

Music has been a part of me since I was young. Mummy said she went to listen to live bands play every Friday night when she was pregnant. I listen to all kinds of music and I'm very protective of music. I have dreamed of becoming a singer, musician, lyricist and music producer. I envy singers who make it big at a young age as I also want to be like them. However, I feel it isn't my time yet therefore I shall wait and wait till the right time comes. Yes, I dream of becoming a singer as that's what makes me happy. I enjoy being on stage, singing to the audiences, delivering a song which tells a story. I love music and not the glamour which comes with it. My voice condition hasn't been too good for the past few months as I didn't take care of it. I had chocolates like nobody's business and all the spicy food which is not good for the voice. Now I shall start taking care of it and continue composing songs and writing lyrics. I want to be the first Malay (even though I'm mixed) singer to make it big in Hong Kong. How about that? Pray for me...

Passion # 2 - Aviation

My love for aviation started in 2006 when I watched a Hong Kong drama entitled Triumph in The Skies. It was a story about cadet pilots in a flying school. The series showed how hard these group of youngsters work to achieve their dreams of becoming a pilot and some love triangle somewhere in between. It was during that period that I started falling in love with aeroplanes. Since then, I have been bugging my parents to allow me to take up CPL (Commercial Pilot License) after I complete my SPM. Afterall, I have one cousin who is a pilot with MAS for nearly 15 years and another one who just started flying with MAS and yet another who is doing his CPL in MFA,Melaka. Somehow after asking around, it is said that flying is not that good for women as it affects our hormones normally causing hormonal imbalance as we will be flying across time zones frequently. Hence, I decided not to take the risk.

Passion # 3 - Accounting/Finance

I always wondered how the business world was like, how CEOs of big companies worked, how accountants play an important role in business, how the finance world works and all sorts of other questions. Whenever my mum talks to her bosses when we meet for lunch or dinner, I would listen to the chartered accountants,CEO's etc etc talk about the business world and how they manage their companies and buy over other companies and all the stuff related to the business world. I am very fascinated by the things an accountant can do and how useful we are in business. Therefore, I decided to take up ACCA at Sunway and I'm on my journey to being an accountant (hopefully a very successful one). I love my classmates as they are very helpful and there are jokers in class. So I don't regret my decision (yet) and I hope my journey to being an accountant will be an awesome one :)

Goodbye Kaufu..

2010-05-25T14:03:00.000+08:00

Finally I found time to blog. Last week was supposed to be filled with a lot of free time because I only had one class which was on Thursday but things can suddenly happen and change our plans. On Tuesday, 18th of May, my mum received a call from my cousin at about 7am saying that my uncle couldn't breathe and that he (my cousin) had already called the ambulance. So my mum woke me up and told me that she was going to my uncle's house to check things out. I couldn't continue sleeping after that fearing for the worst to happen. Remember I blogged about my uncle last year saying that he had cancer and all that. Yeah, that's the one (in case you're wondering). At about 9am, my mum called to inform that my uncle had already passed away. So I went into the bathroom to bathe and tears just couldn't stop flowing. I won't be able to call out 'Kaufu' (which means uncle) to him anymore. But I am sure he left us and is now in a better place, without needing to suffer from cancer and not being able to eat etc. You will be missed. Rest in peace.

Looking Forward to the Weekend

2010-05-17T12:14:00.000+08:00

Today, my godmother (my mum's best friend from years ago) gave me tickets to watch this concert! Yay! My first time attending a concert by Hong Kong artistes. She bought 3 tickets and also booked a room for me and my parents as a birthday present and also a gift for my SPM results. Eventhough,there's no Lam Fung but I'm still very very happy :) Thank you, kai ma (which means godmother in Cantonese)!

My # 1 Fav out of the four of them...

Can't wait for the weekend to watch them perform! I've always seen them acting on TVB series and I love their acting. Hope their performance will be a good one. Will update after the concert.

First week of MAY

2010-05-11T00:39:00.000+08:00

Hello world. Sorry for the lack of update. The whole of last week, I was busy studying for Progress Test 1 and also moving from the old house to the new condo. Now we're nearly settled down as in things are moved to the condo already but the place is still in a mess. My room is filled with bags and some boxes. I need to start unpacking them and putting them at their respective places. I have taken photos of my room but I can't find the micro SD Card adapter so I can't upload it yet.

Progress Test was on Saturday, 8th May (a day after my birthday) so didn't get to enjoy my birthday as I spent a few hours studying and a few hours packing things at the old house. For T1, I got 74% and T2, 68% (passing mark is 60%).

For my birthday, my cousin bought me an iPOD Nano 16GB! Thank you, Jackie jie! :) Finally, I own an iPOD. Yes,I know a lot of you out already have one but my mum didn't want to buy me one yet so I had to wait patiently. Need to download more songs to load in my iPOD as there's a lot of empty space.

Progress Test round the corner

2010-05-03T13:26:00.000+08:00

This Saturday (a day after my birthday), I'll be having my first Progress Test for T1 : Recording Financial Transactions and T2 : Information for Management Control. Each test is 2 hours long and we are required to answer 50 Multiple Choice Questions. Mr Bill says whoever who gets less than 60% will be barred from taking exams. I'm starting to feel the tension and stress but knowing me I just started studying yesterday. For T1, Mr Jana says we have to read till Chapter 4 BUT for T2 we have 9 chapters to read. Kanasai! :( Good luck to my fellow G11 members. Gambateh!! Wish me luck, I need em.

手连心 - Don't You Feel Blessed?

2010-04-29T13:32:00.001+08:00

I was not aware of what happened around the world for the past few months. Let's just say I wasn't paying attention and I was ignorant. Yesterday when I switched to channel 311 to get my daily dose of TVB series : EU, I discovered that they were airing a live charity concert from Hong Kong. It was to raise funds for the victims of the Yushu Earthquake. I was thinking to myself 'did a earthquake hit China recently? So I decided to Google it up and found this on Wikipedia.

The 2010 Yushu earthquake struck on April 14, 2010, and registered a magnitude of 6.9M_w (USGS, EMSC) or 7.1M_s(CEA, CENC). It originated in Yushu, Qinghai, China, at 7:49 am local time. According to the Xinhua News Agency, 2,220 people have been confirmed dead, 70 missing, and 12,135 injured of which 1,434 are severely injured. The epicenter was located in Rima village (日玛村/日麻村), Upper Laxiu township (上拉秀乡) of Yushu County, in remote and rugged terrain, near the border of Tibet Autonomous Region. The epicenter is about 30 km from Gyêgu town, the seat of Yushu County, and about 240 km from Qamdo. The epicenter was in a sparsely populated area on the Tibetan plateau that is regularly hit by earthquakes.

Instead of complaining about life's imperfections why don't we cherish and appreciate the things we have. Don't you feel lucky that you have your loved ones with you when some of the kids in Yushu have lost their parents or loved ones due to the earthquake. Some of them don't even have food to eat or are forced to pick up bread covered with dust and soil as food resources are limited whereas some of us here in Malaysia waste food like no one's business. Well, some of us just take things for granted and don't even bother to think of what others are going through.

I urge all of you to take just 5 minutes to reflect this on yourself and make that slight change. From now on, I hope to become a better citizen of the world. I shall not waste and I shall be a more considerate person. This music video is by artistes from Hong Kong, Taiwan & China. Log on to http://www.artistes414.com for more information.

I cried after watching this video and if you know me, I hardly cry. Let's hope the people in Yushu will be able to carry on with their life. Eventhough I don't have the money to contribute to them as I am a student but my heart is there hoping their lives would be better after this. The Artistes 414 Fund Raising Campaign which was held at the Hong Kong Coliseum on Monday managed to raise 35 million Hong Kong dollars. I'd like to thank the people who contributed to these unfortunate people. May God bless them.

Moving

2010-04-25T14:38:00.000+08:00

I'm now at my new house well condo actually to clean up before moving in. I'll be moving out of my house in Kota Damansara to a condo in Kelana Jaya within this week. I stayed in the KD house for about 5 years. My parents sold the house in order to move to a smaller place as the house is a bit too big for the 3 of us. Well we don't have a maid so most of the housework is done by ourselves and it can be a bit tiring. We chose Kelana Jaya because it is nearer to college and it's not that far from my parents' office. Will post up pictures of the new place soon :)

CAT G11

2010-04-22T01:05:00.000+08:00

I am starting to love Group 11 CAT Sunway April Intake or CAT G11 for short. Today we had a 6 hour class with Mr Bill. Class at EB-2-3 was from 1.30pm to 4.30pm and we proceeded to the IT Lab for our Excel class from 4.30pm to 7.30pm. As we entered the IT Lab, we sat down and most of us had to get our ID Number and Password to access the computers. Some of them who had already got their ID Numbers like our Miss Jasmine Kok was happily logged on to Facebook. Finally managed to add everyone else on Facebook and we actually started communicating and getting to know each other.

During our first class at EB-2-3, Mr Bill explained things to do with computers which I didn't quite enjoy as I never liked anything to do with computers. There was the super computers,ROM,RAM,hardware etc etc which made me lose focus. Anyway,Mr Bill told us many interesting stories and jokes. LLB : Look Like Busy. During our break, we went to the cafetaria to buy some snacks to keep us awake as the topic we're learning today is quite boring.

During our Excel class, everyone in class was logged on Facebook and we were barely listening to what Mr Bill was saying. Mr Bill created a group for G11 in Facebook and we started spamming the wall. Soon Keong even wrote on Mr Bill's wall saying 'Mr Bill,you are so handsome'. Lol!! We learnt how to use Microsoft Excel and did some copy and paste thingy followed by using formulas to make our job easier. We've planned for a class outing on Friday after class. Sunway Pyramid, here we come!!

Beginning of the Second week

2010-04-19T16:12:00.000+08:00

It's my second week in college and I am readjusting to the new stuff all around me. Back to waking up early (only when I have morning classes) if not it's still waking up after 10am. Classes are still bearable for now and the schedule isn't that tight yet. The second semester will be more challenging but what is life without challenges? I'm trying my very best to focus and pay attention during lectures so that it's easier to recall when doing revision. Looks like my dream of becoming a pilot an also an entertainer has to be put on hold for now. Of course I hope to achieve the other two ambitions as well but one has to make choices and this is what I chose.

There are 40 of us in CAT Group 11, mostly Chinese. Today I had T1 class with Mr Jana. There was 2 sessions : 8am to 10am and 10.30am to 12.30pm but surprisingly the 4 and a half hours was filled with laughter, jokes and not forgetting the debit credit debit credit. It was freezing cold at the beginning and we adjusted the air conditioning temperature to 29 degrees celsius. Haha! Had a short break, went to the cafetaria, had a hot drink and back to class right up till 12.30pm. Oh yeah, my long lost friend : homework is back! Haven't had homework for months and now suddenly lecturer says : today your homework is...... *sigh sigh* That reminds me I've got to finish Mr Bill's homework of finding 21 definitions for some accounting terms which is due on Wednesday.

Wish me luck! Till then, take care and see you guys soon! :)

First two Classes at Sunway

2010-04-14T23:15:00.040+08:00

Yesterday, I had my first class at Sunway University College. This semester (April - June), I am taking 2 subjects which is T1 : Recording Financial Transactions and T2 : Information for Management Control. For T1, I am exempted from the exam as I got an A for Prinsip Perakaunan in SPM. Therefore, I only sit for one paper in June. Class was from 2.30pm to 5.30pm. Arrived at Sunway earlier to submit my exemption form for Bahasa Kebangsaan A and also scholarship form. We had no idea where our class was located as we were only told class is at EB-2-3 and I kept looking at the map of the campus but couldn't find east building. So decided to go to the admissions office to ask and found out that it was a new block. Patutlahhh! I thought I was the blurr one.

Anyway, went to East Block and found our class. Entered and sat down. There was this Indian guy who was inside and he claimed to be from the Facilities Department and I was like okaayyy but in my heart I was thinking this guy looks like he's a lecturer. He said our lecturer was stuck in a traffic jam. He asked us to introduce ourselves etc etc. Finally he said 'Gotchaaa, I'm your lecturer and my name is Jana'. He's a joker so the atmosphere in class is kinda light and not so dull kinda thing. But sometimes you don't know when he's joking and when he's not. At about 3.30pm, he said 'Ok,you can go for your break' and everyone was just looking at him and he said 'I said, you can go for your break for real'. Then only we started moving. I guess we're just not used to the whole college class atmosphere and still wait for the bell to ring for break. It's anew experience and I'm enjoying it. Mr Jana is a chartered accountant.

Today, class was from 8am to 11am for T2 : Information for Management Control. I was early yet again because there isn't any jam these few days, I don't know why. I arrived at 7.30am and waited for Jasmine and Yue Qi to arrive at the foyer before walking to class. This time it was at EB-G-5. We found our way easily and entered class. While waiting for our teacher Mr Bill, we were asking each other to guess what is Mr Bill's age. Yue Qi and I guessed he should be in his 40s or 50s since his name is so 'lo tho' or kolot. Suddenly this boleh tahan young man lah walked into class and said 'Hi, I'm Mr Bill, your lecturer for T2'. We laughed cause he looks like he's in his 30s. He's a nice guy and I like the way he teaches. Oh ya,he chose Yue Qi to be class representative because he earlier on he asked her why she chose to study CAT. Her answer : because I am sensitive to numbers. So nearing the end of class, he said 'the girl who is sensitive to numbers, you're the class rep'. Today's class was enjoyable! Overall, I am beginning to like classes as the two lecturers are nice and I feel at ease. Hope we will make them proud with our T1 and T2 exam results. Gambateh!

College Orientation

2010-04-13T00:05:00.002+08:00

6.15am

*alarm rings*

*presses snooze*

6.17am

*alarm rings AGAIN*

*presses snooze AGAIN*

6.45am

*mum walks into room*

*looks at the time, finally wakes up*

That was the scenario at home this morning. For the past 4 months or so I have been waking up late so that's why it was hard to wake up this morning. Anyway, I got ready and my dad drove me to college, I'm studying in Sunway University College. There wasn't any major jam hence I arrived at abut 7.50am. Registration for Orientation was from 9am to 10 am so I was super early. Went to the Finance Department to settle this semester's fees and just walked around the campus while waiting for Yue Qi. At the cafetaria where we had some food to kill time, I met my primary school classmate, Kelvin Yap. Met up with Yue Qi and signed our attendance at the CAT/ACCA booth before proceeding to Lecture Theater 6 which is located on the 4th floor. Went inside and sat at the second last row but was later asked to move forward. By that time, we (Yue Qi and I) made friends with this girl who sat behind us who's name is Jasmine Kok. She came with Yuen May, her friend who is taking Ausmat. Jasmine is from Seremban and is currently staying at the hostel near campus.

As we got bored waiting in the Lecture Theater for more than an hour, we started counting the number of boys. No offence but most of the boys taking CAT have the nerd look. Out of about 80 of us in April intake, there are 30 plus boys. At 10.15am, Miss Elizabeth Lee, the Executive Director of Sunway University College made a welcome speech followed by a few other short speeches. The last one was Mr Teo Ee Sing's explanation on CAT/ACCA. He said that if we wanted to suceed, we must start working hard from day one.

3 years of hard work and enjoy for the rest of your life

So I'm supposed to be working hard from tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. I hope I don't slack. Tomorrow, I will have my first class : T1 - Recording Financial Transactions at 2.30 pm. Yay! Not a morning class! This post is for my future reference, for me to look back and say 'Ahaaa,so this how orientation was like for me'. Looking forward for my first class tomorrow. Nite all.

The Road I Chose

2010-04-08T00:58:00.000+08:00

I've always wondered

What life would be like

If I were still there

Striving to prove I can survive

Glad I made the decision

To be here instead of there

The road not taken

Would I be better off on the other path?

Life's a journey

I never know what would happen next

So many choices but only one to chose

Confusing, messing up my mind

I guess everyone goes through this

Thinking so hard, not able to decide

Say goodbye to my dreams

Or choose the common path?

Which road should I choose?

Still undecided, still considering

Which road should I choose..

I should just close my eyes

Ask my heart and follow what it says

That's the best, no regrets

That's the road I chose...

Walau Dunia Takkan Adil Padaku

2010-04-08T00:30:00.000+08:00

Sometimes I feel hidup ni tak adil

Penuh dengan helah dan hipokrit saja

Depan muka baik tapi belakang you lain cerita

Tak payahlah talam dua muka

Puan Zubaidah pernah berakta

Diam itu emas, bercakap itu najis

So pandai-pandailah jaga mulut sendiri

Jangan main cakap lepas sahaja

Hidup penuh dugaan, takkan pernah sempurna

Biar hidup sederhana asalkan aku bahagia

Tak ambik rasuah, tak main kayu tiga

Cukuplah begini sahaja

Aku dan engkau sama sahaja

Nak cari duit, boleh hidup pun cukuplah

Cari pasangan hidup, bina rumah tangga

Cipta memori indah kenang sampai bila-bila

Oh hidup....janganlah kejam padaku

Tujuanku hanya mahu hidup bukannya bikin kacau

Lantaklah orang lain, aku tetap dengan pendirianku

Walau dunia takkan pernah adil padaku

A New Beginning

2010-04-06T23:24:00.000+08:00

Yesterday I went to Sunway University College to enrol myself for CAT. Orientation will be on 12th April, Monday and classes start on Tuesday. Right now I have mixed feelings as I will be entering a whole new world cheh like Aladdin pulak. Haha. Looking forward to college, meeting new friends and making myself comfortable in the new environment. I know life won't be easy in college but I have to push myself to achieve my dream of becoming an accountant. Andddd....I've got 2 papers (computer based exams) in June. Awesome! :(

I'm your biggest fan I'll follow you until you love me....

2010-03-31T00:42:00.000+08:00

Have you ever stalked someone? Be it your crush,your ex-boyfriend,the hottest girl/guy in college or school,your favourite artistes,your cousin you're not that close to,your childhood friend or maybe even your own family members who are abroad. I know some of you would be nodding your heads when you read the sentence before this. Well, I've had my fair share of stalking too but in a good way I would say. The most I would do is look through his or her photos on Facebook, read their blog or follow them on Twitter.

I'm sure there was that moment in your life where you liked someone so much that you can't go to bed without looking at their Facebook profile,read their latest blog post or read their Tweets. Well, I went through that last year when I fell head over heels over this guy. Before I sleep, I'd spare a few minutes thinking about him and each day is not complete if I didn't check his Facebook profile. When I think back, I laugh at myself because I don't even bother to look at his profile nowadays, I've said 'bye bye' to him. I don't know when is the next time I'll fall in love again but I think I'll be repeating the same thing again when I find my next 'crush'. My heart hasn't been beating fast enough nowadays because it's been quite long since I liked someone, to be exact 10 months. I'll surely tell you when I've found the right person. Stay tuned for more! Nite :)

Kiss Goodbye - Wang Lee Hom

2010-03-27T13:20:00.000+08:00

This song is my current lullaby every night. Life has been pretty boring I would say. I haven't started college like my other friends so nothing much has happened. Going to Sunway University College to register tomorrow morning for CAT (Certified Accounting Technician). It's gonna be tough but I have to go through it as that is what I have chosen.

I envy people who get the chance to study overseas. How I wish my parents could afford to send me either to Australia or London but the reality is they can't afford to do so. Therefore, I have to work hard to enable myself to go overseas in the near future. It's not that I dislike Malaysia and do not wish to work here. It's just that I want to experience different cultures, working environment and living styles in a foreign country. I want to explore the differences between my home country and the country I am going to. By doing this, I could learn a lot from it and use these valuable knowledge in my everyday life.

I believe my hard work will pay off one day. Signing off.... Have a great weekend!

Me singing Kantoi by Zee Avi

2010-03-26T12:26:00.001+08:00

I was home alone early this week and I was so damn bored so I decided to record myself singing Zee Avi's hit 'Kantoi'. I know I looked awful coz I was in comfy home clothes. Anyway feel free to comment :) Will try to record other songs as well. You could request your favourite songs and I'll try my best to record em.

Some of my friends said they miss hearing me sing hence the video. Enjoyyyy!

March oh March!

2010-03-22T11:56:00.000+08:00

Hello folks! What have you been up to during the school holidays? I guess most of my juniors had a lot of fun going out with friends,catching up on sleep,hanging out with cousins and friends from other schools. For me, it didn't make any difference because I am still on a long holiday. I've been helping my mum at her office right after SPM ended so life has been kinda boring I would say. No interaction with people my age,get it? Looking forward to going to college but I haven't made the decision yet. Currently applying for scholarships etc. I'll just wait and see I guess.

On Friday, I met up with Maryam, Zakirah & Feeza at 1U because I haven't seen them for months!! Had lunch at Burger King while waiting for Haziq & Shah to come over after Friday prayers. Watched a movie called 'Lovely Bones', one of the worst movies I 've ever watched. No offence but the movie was confusing and was so slow. We ended up laughing because there was this *Hawaian babe* (Feeza bagi nickname) we saw when we were buying tickets. Her bag was full of bunga-bunga ala Hawaii and if I'm not mistaken her shorts too. 5 minutes before the movie started, the *Hawaiian babe* walked in and sat next to Maryam. Zakirah and Feeza started laughing at first and we were infected lah. Tiba-tiba, the Hawaian babe pun started laughing with us. So kita un ketawa lah terbahak-bahak sampai the other audience turned round to see what was happening. Hawaian babe punya pasal lah!

Super Junior

2010-03-18T00:31:00.001+08:00

I'm not a big fan of Super Junior but suddenly I just felt the urge to look them up on Youtube. Found this video and was thinking whether I should attempt their dance steps. Hahahahaha! God! Imagine me dancing like that,awesomeness! Come to think of it, I only know one song from Super Junior which is Sorry Sorry. Why? Last year in my super cool class (5 Siantan), there were a few people who were crazy over Super Junior *ahem ahem* and they would sing Sorry Sorry every single day that the tune was stuck in my head.

Eng Khoon even danced for us sometimes as he was part of the Sorry Sorry group who performed for Malam Bakat. This song reminds me of 5 Siantan..I miss you Siantanese people!

SPM Results.

2010-03-11T17:31:00.000+08:00

*drumrolls*

8A's 1C

Bahasa Melayu A+

Bahasa Inggeris A+

Science A+

Sejarah A

Prinsip Perakaunan A

Pendidikan Islam A-

Mathematics A-

Additional Mathematics A-

Perdagangan C+

The C sangat mencacatkan my result slip! Out of all the subjects, why Perdagangan?? I have always got an A for that subject. But well what's done is done. I am grateful that I achieved my targeted goal and made my parents proud. As usual tears of joy came rolling down my cheeks when I received my results.

My thank you speech :

A million thanks to my parents for sacrificing so much of their time for me, no words can describe how much you mean to me. Thank you to my tuition teachers for their effort to make us understand what they are teaching especially Add Maths. I needed Puan Gan to explain again and again as I often made careless mistakes. I'd like to thank my friends for being there for me when I was struggling with my studies especially during trial exams. To my cousins (you know who you are) thanks for being there when I needed you. Also a big thanks to BU4 Teachers who worked so hard giving us extra kelas tambahan for Sejarah and Add Maths. That's Puan Lee Siok Khim and Mr Siva. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I don't know how to thank you people. Kamsahamnida! Xie xie ni!

Puan Zubaidah must be so proud of me! Hahahaha! A+ for BM,baby! Kegilaaannnn! Tak pernah aku tahu BM aku sepower itu! Muahaha. For now, let's partttaaaayyyyy!

Expectations

2010-03-11T00:20:00.000+08:00

This is my last post before I receive my results for SPM. Whenever I take results for public exams, I would be nervous and anxious. Expectations from the people around me are high. Well, not my parents, they don't pressure me, it's the other people in the family. Friends or cousins often say 'Alah,you pandai confirm straight A's punya lah'. This sentence just scares me. Just because I got 4 A's for UPSR and 8A's for PMR doesn't mean I'm smart. I might be just lucky. Afterall isn't BM (Pemahaman) in UPSR all about circling the correct answers? I could have just tembak all the answers and get an A,no? Isn't Sejarah and Geografi for PMR all objective? Kalau tembak just say 10 questions and kebetulan semua betul I could have gotten an A instead of a B. So my point is, don't go pressure the people around you by saying 'You're smart so surely straight A's lah'.

I personally think the A's you get in SPM doesn't represent how successful you will be in life. Well, look at some wealthy people in the world. Take Bill Gates or maybe Lim Goh Tong for example. Look at how rich they are. They didn't get straight A's for exams. Therefore, I believe that we should not be sad if we don't get straight A's for SPM. It's just SPM lah! Come on, be realistic!

Enough of crapping. I wish all of you the best of luck for tomorrow! I hope I don't get too nervous tonight. Remember, if you don't get straight A's for SPM or maybe you didn't get a single A for SPM, it's NOT THE END OF THE WORLD. Good luck to us as we are going to step into a different world : COLLEGE.

They're Homeeee

2010-03-10T15:51:00.000+08:00

Welcome home to my friends who were in NS!! I guess most of you are darker and tougher than before. Hehe. Looking forward to seeing you guys tomorrow at school when we collect our much awaited SPM results.

Thoughts

2010-03-09T00:16:00.002+08:00

Life has been pretty boring after SPM. I imagined life after SPM would be filled with outings, meeting friends and having fun but unfortunately it didn't turn out like that. My 3 month 'holiday' is coming to an end as the SPM results are going to be announced on Thursday. I realised that I didn't do what I intended to do in the 3 month break. Initially I had lots of ideas of what to do and where to go but it didn't work out. 3 months went by so quickly that I barely remember what I did. I filled my days by sitting in front of the laptop and logged on to Youtube to watch Korean, Taiwanese and Hong Kong dramas. Kinda sad eyh?

I will be registering at Sunway University College maybe this weekend. I'll have to get ready for college life as there will be a lot of exams and I'm gonna be dead tired everyday. CAT,here I come. Not meow meow CAT (it stands for Certified Accounting Technician). I have to take CAT before proceeding to ACCA. I hope to finish it within 3 and a half years and start working before I turn 23.

Recently I have been thinking a lot about the future like my 10 year plan from now etc. So here's what I plan to achieve before I turn 30

1) Get a stable job in Malaysia and try to venture overseas to gain experience from the outside world

2) Travel overseas whenever I can get leave from the boss. I'd love to go to Italy,France,Tibet,Hawaii,Carribean etc

3) Get myself an understanding and caring boyfriend

4) Strive to achieve better things in life

5) Record an album and become a famous singer (hahaha! that has been my dream) and I hope to achieve it

6) Provide a better life from my parents

7) Become a more loyal friend and be by my friend's side no matter what happens to him/her

8) Audition for some singing competition to see how far I can go

9) Do some whacky sports to get the adrenaline pumping

10) Continue being who I am

I hope to achieve these goals of mine in 10 years time. For now I have to work hard to achieve my dreams. Good luck my fellow friends! See you guys in school on Thursday. Nightmares go away! Nitey nite

The Time Has Come

SPM RESULTS ON 11th March!!

Thanks to Chiun Wei who posted the link up on Facebook. After months of waiting, finally results are coming but I am starting to freak out. There's nothing to be scared of actually coz it's all over and done with. BUT STILL there's that feeling in myself. Doubt. I am afraid my results are not as good as I expect them to be and I am scared my parents will be disappointed. Arggghhh...I dislike this feeling very much as it makes me feel uneasy. Anyway I wish all of you, my fellow friends who sat for SPM last year the best of luck. May you get great results and make your parents proud.

I hope to get 5A's for English,Mod Maths,Perdagangan,BM and Agama. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Coffee Prince

2010-02-23T00:13:00.002+08:00

Hello there my very few faithful readers. I am now watching 'Coffee Prince', yet another Korean drama that Suhaila suggested me to watch. I am now at the climax of the show...aahhhh! handsome Choi Han Kyul !!!

Go Eun Chan & Chai Han Kyul

The Coffee Princes

scandal

Han Kyul oppaaa!!

Choi Han Seong, Go Eun Chan & Choi Han Kyeol

The life of Go Eun Chan (Yoon Eun Hye) is not easy; she works many jobs to pay off debts and even gave up her feminine image. Choi Han Kyul (Gong Yoo) is the heir of a big food company, but his grandmother wants him to settle down, so she arranged many dates for him. After Eun Chan bumped into Han Kyul and was mistaken for a boy, Han Kyul decided to hire Eun Chan to be his gay lover in order to avoid the arranged dates. Desperately in need of money, Eun Chan had no choice but to accept. Han Kyul's grandmother also made Han Kyul in charge of a filthy coffee shop in danger of being bankrupt. Eun Chan begged to work at the coffee shop, and not long after, feelings start to spark, except, how would Han Kyul accept his "homosexuality".

Edit : I have finally finished watching this show. I cried at certain parts as I could feel what Go Eun Chan was going through. After finding out that one of the actors passed away last year (Lee Eon), I cried. Maybe it was because his character in the show was such an innocent one. I like this series :D

Happy Chinese New Year!

Chuk lei dei bo bo go sing, san dai keen hong.

Today I went to watch 72 Tenants of Prosperity with my mum and 2 cousins at Tropicana City Mall. I used my ang pow money to belanja them. The show was hilarious and most of the crowd were laughing. My favourite scene was Lam Fung & Justin Lo were fighting over Fala Chen and they threw a coin in the air to determine who Fala Chen would get married to. I would love to watch the movie again! Sai Yeung Choi street rocks! XD

If you've got nothing to do at home,head to the nearest cinemas and watch this show. Btw, it's in Cantonese. Enjoy the holidays! Hope you have a great time with your family.

Fung forever

2010-02-12T15:10:00.002+08:00

Hello folks! Festive season mood : CNY! Yay! I'm looking forward to it because I'll be getting ang pows. I am currently in the Lam Fung mode ever since I met him in HK 2 weeks ago. Yes,I met him. Full story later on. Here are his photos for you to see.

When I first watched him in Golden Faith back in 2004, he had very tanned skin and wasn't as handsome as he currently is but I started liking him back then. And since I met him in HK, the Fung fever is back. For those of you who don't know who he is,go google Raymond Lam Fung. I'd suggest you watch Heart of Greed, Golden Faith, Survivor's Law & Moonlight Resonance as these are my personal favourites with Fung acting in them. Enjoy!

Romantic Princess

2010-01-14T14:08:00.000+08:00

I am currently watching a Taiwanese drama entitled 'Romantic Princess'. Mostly because there's Wu Chun in it. He looks young for his age (this year,he's 31). So if you're not enrolled in college yet why not watch this show. :)

Synopsis : Adopted by middle classed parents, Xiao Mai has always had a dream to be an heiress. Who knew that one day this dream would come true. Xiao Mai's biological grandfather is the head of a prestigous aristocratic family and after many years of searching, he finally finds his long lost granddaughter. As she starts her life as an heiress, everyday is filled with excitement, however, everything seems a bit different from what she had imagined them to be.

I Go / Pergi

2010-01-11T00:20:00.000+08:00

I Go by Pete Teo

So long, fare thee well

The dancer and the dancing days have taken leave and fell

So turn down this bed of stone

Quench me with the deadly nightshade from the rose that you belong

The long December rain is falling now

Running down on streets to nowhere

Music is my life - you're my sweetest nightingale

But I can't hear it here no more

And I go...

Hush now, don't shake or break

Words have fallen silent like soldiers to the grave

No matter what they do or say

Lay me on the sleepy meadows by the tracks upon your face

Sayu terpisah
hikayat indah kini hanya tinggal sejarah
berhembus angin rindu
begitu nyamannya terhidu wangian kasihmu
hujan lebat mencurah kini
bagaikan tiada henti
kaulah laguku kau irama terindah
tak lagi kudengari
kau pergi.. pergi..
sepi tanpa kata
terdiam dan kaku tak daya kau kulupa
apa pun kata mereka
biarkan kenangan berbunga di ranting usia

Thank you Pete Teo for such a touching song. Continue composing such songs. God bless you!

The first time I heard this song was when Talentime was released. This song would be the one I played whenever I felt emotional. And I could cry listening to this song. Al Fatihah to Allahyarham Yasmin Ahmad,you are missed.

Skype!

2010-01-09T02:21:00.001+08:00

I am currently Skype-ing with Airina & Suhaila. Cakap macam kat kelas. Macam apa je karaoke and nyanyi macam orang gila! Huahuahuahua... Rindu & kangennn! My parents are asleep so I'm listening to her talk using the headphone and I'm replying using chat. Kiranya macam orang bisu ar. Huahua. I'm talking crap coz it's 2.18 am. So I shall just Skype with Sela. Airina dah tido...

United?

2010-01-08T14:22:00.000+08:00

We claim that Malaysia is a peaceful and united country but the attacks on churches yesterday prove us wrong. I seriously don't understand these narrow minded people. Any religion in this world wouldn't allow attacks on other religion's place of worship. Fellow Malaysians,open up your mind and think before you do something.

Tribute to Madu Tiga The Musical

2010-01-08T00:00:00.004+08:00

This post is dedicated to the cast,people behind the scenes and fans (if any) of Madu Tiga The Musical. I miss having rehearsals with this bunch of people who sacrificed their time and energy to be part of Madu Tiga The Musical family. It was chaotic at times but we managed to handle things and made it through the auditions. We shall have a reunion soon! Enjoy the videos for those of you who didn't get a chance to watch us on stage. And thanks to Airina for uploading!

KPP

2010-01-07T23:40:00.000+08:00

I guess most of you SPM-leavers would know what KPP is by now. I actually don't know what it stands for. Wait let me check.. KPP : Kurikulum Pendidikan Pemandu. Hah! I went with Putri, my ex-classmate from Sri Inai back in 2004. We were supposed to meet at the driving agency at 8.30am but because I was stuck in a jam I only arrived at 8.55am. Luckily the van was going a few rounds so I wasn't left out. Left the agency at 9 am and we had to squish into the van which was kinda small and our heads nearly hit the top of the van like kalau there was a bump kepala mesti kena punya lah. When we arrived,we had to fill in our names and line up,get our thumb print bla bla bla and we were supposed to enter the last cabin. I met my tuition mates : Wei Lun,Brendon & Desmond. At least,some familiar faces so Putri and I sat in front of them. The first instuctor (wateva you call them) was damn kao boring! The boys fell asleep halfway but I tried my very best to stay awake. I kept looking at my watch wondering when our break time would be. At 12.15pm the bloody guy let us off.

We decided to be a little adventurous and walked quite a distance to another mamak shop coz the one near the place was quite crowded. Had lunch and headed back to the driving place and spotted Haikal as in Haikal Amir Hamzah if I'm not mistaken (the tall guy from DU). Correct me Sya if you're reading. The next session was much better. We watched video clips of funny stuff which didn't have anything to do with driving. They even had Mr Bean and some sort of advertisements etc. And finally the thing ended at 3.30pm. Followed Putri to makan at Bdr Sri Damansara and went back to mum's office.

Probably going to take the test in a week plus I guess. Back to studying..Nite peeps! :)

School?

2010-01-04T23:55:00.000+08:00

It's the first day of school and it feels really weird that I'm not attending school. Many of my friends are taking the January intake and here I am staying at home, online all the time. I've decided to wait for SPM results and enter university after that. I am most probably going to take CAT at Sunway University College. For now, I'll be helping my mum at her office doing office work like photostating,emails,scanning documents and stuff. Kinda boring but better than not doing anything. Btw,I'm not paid so don't ask me to belanja you. I am missing school and I am missing 5 Siantan. Waking up early in the morning,dragging myself to the bathroom and entering a class which is the noisiest in BU 4 and most of all hearing CHIA ZI CONG'S UNIQUE VOICE.
I miss school a lot!

Remembering 2009

2010-01-04T16:51:00.003+08:00

Hello world! It's my first post in year 2010. I'm finally done with school so 2010 is a school-less year? I am so gonna miss school as I had so much fun last year. The things we had to go through together,the stress caused by exams, i was falling for that someone, handling the musical, the normal teenager thing and all the drama we had. Being in 5 Siantan was one of the best moments I had so far. Sangat happening la the class! Let the photos do the talking....

After mid year exams...

2009 was a memorable year for me. I learnt who my true friends were,how to handle people around me, I became more matured, I started exploring the things around me and many more things. It was a roller coaster at times but when I'm on top,it was a time I would never forget. At the bottom, I had to control things so that it would get better. All in all, I wouldn't mind going thru 2009 yet again as it held many great memories. To my friends,thank you for cheering up my days,making me laugh,telling me jokes,talking crap that would make us all burst into laughter. I will truly miss those times. Those going overseas,best of luck! I will miss you.

2010,I hope you will give me happy moments too where I can think back and smile. Farewell 2009 :)

Flightless Bird

2009-12-31T00:51:00.000+08:00

Today was a long and tiring day. It started at 9 am. Went to UCSI in Cheras with my parents,no not to register there but coz my parents are agents for international students so we went to register a student there. I waited and waited for quite long for my parents to settle stuff then at 12.30pm, we headed back to my mum's office in PJ and my dad brought me to Uptown to register for driving. We (Whee Zen,Yue Qi,Keen Yuan & Jen Yin) registered and chose the day for the ceramah. It starts at 8.45 am and ends at 4pm. That's like damn bloody long wei! My ass is surely gonna be numb or something like that. Moreover,they chose to go this Saturday which I definitely can't because my uncle and family will be here from Singapore. So I have to call up the person in charge to change my day to next Thursday. ALONE
Anyone wanna teman me?? Go register at William Driving Agency first. After registering,went back to my mum's office and continued watching my Korean drama and in the evening had to go to Universiti Hospital to see my uncle. He was doing chemotherapy but it wasn't really done yet that meant more waiting. Waited and waited until 9.20pm. The nurse said we could bring him back home. So had late dinner at 10pm at Kanna! Roti canai & dhall curry!! yummyyy. That was my boring day.

My cousin,Soo Ling from Australia together with her husband and my 2 lovely nieces are back! Tomorrow my uncle will be coming over from Singapore with his family including my cute 10 month old niece. Family reunion on Saturday and BBQ on Sunday. Better get myself ready coz I'm still having a cough! That's it for today. See you guys soon... Nitey nite

Sambal,the first love.

2009-12-30T01:29:00.000+08:00

Why sambal? No not sambal as in sambal tumis or sambal belacan. Sambal is actually a nickname given to my ex-crush by none other than Nadia Farhana. We gave him the name Sambal because naturally Sambal is pedas or hot kan? So that's why la. Recently,I stumbled upon his Facebook account but I didn't dare add him. Funny how I can't bring myself to add him. Since I am that bored, let me tell you the whole story about 'Sambal'.

Sambal's dad is my mum's friend so kiranya Sambal is my family friend la. Haven't met him for years coz our parents have been busy and stuff. The first time I met him was when my family went for dinner at his house in Bukit Damansara back in 2002 when I was 10 and he was 13. It was just a normal dinner where his mum cooked and the older people talked and we (Sambal and me) just listened but I guess we were in a world of our own. Btw, his mum's cooking is delicious!

It was during the second 'family dinner' that I started to like him. Well,something happened that made me so crazy over him but benda tu kecik je. Hahah! That's normal I guess as he was my first crush/love whateva you call it. I remember every second of it! Hah! We went for dinner at his place,it was during the Raya month. This time the older people were talking and talking and Uncle A (his dad) asked Sambal to bring me to watch TV or do some young people stuff la. His house is 3 storeys but going down instead. As in when u enter the house it's the hall,dining area then you go downstairs and there's the kitchen and bedrooms.

So he brought me downstairs to his room to watch TV and it was some Disney stuff. He asked me some questions about school and bla bla bla. Then suddenly the lights went off, BLACKOUT ! Sambal and I were the only ones downstairs and I started to freak out (bengong gila!). Uncle A called out to Sambal to come upstairs (back to the hall). And Sambal held my hand and brought me upstairs. He was so scared I would fall coz I was wearing a baju kurung. From then on, I liked him. How innocent I was back then liking someone just after some small thing happened.

In 2003, we met again at my mum's ex-boss' birthday party in a hotel sumwhere in KL. Uncle A asked him to take care of me coz Sambal and I had to sit at the children's table while our parents met up with friends etc. He brought along an Archie comic to read but he did talk to me and he even went to take food for me. That was the last time I met him. I keep bugging my mum to go visit Uncle A during Raya but timing selalu not right. And I will add him on Facebook when the time is right. Hah! When will that be? I seriously don't know. If you actually read the whole thing,wow! I salute you. Thanks for reading. For those who find this boring well I just wanted to remember my SAMBAL. Why don't you write about your first love? It will surely bring back sweet memories. God! I feel like I'm 10 again! Haha

Penang!

2009-12-29T12:33:00.000+08:00

Penang trip was awesomeee! Eventhough we started preparing way before the trip but it was worth it. I had lots of fun with the people there. Playing at the beach,being pushed into the swimming pool,had nice food etc. There were 34 of us altogether. We had a great time laughing and relaxing at the beach. Especially the last night in Penang, we basically lepak-ed at the beach till 2.30 am. Looking at the stars,listening to the waves and camwhoring.

Hard Rock yo!!

Didn't mummy tell you not to talk to strangers?

2009-12-29T01:32:00.003+08:00

I just thought of my tuition mate Calvin Lee Xian Rong hence the title. He joked about it in tuition when someone offered me sweets and I accepted it. He said, didn't mummy tell you not to accept gifts or talk to strangers? That was random.

Looks like I only have the mood to blog in the middle of the night nowadays. I am currently listening to Jacky Cheung's Mei Tian Ai Ni Duo Yi Xie. One of my favs from him. It's ok if you don't know this song,it was released quite long ago. I was introduced to this song by my cousin. Btw,I'm going to register for driving with Whee Zen,Keen Yuan and Eng Khoon on Thursday somewhere in Uptown.

Now it's Cai Hong from Jay Chou. I just love this song..makes me feel very calm. That reminds me that I need to brush up on my Mandarin. Super karat redi! Nooo!!! And my Cantonese is slacking liao! Die! And that's suppose to be my mother tongue? Haha. Time to go look for TVB dramas to watch!! Woohooo.. and some Taiwanese movies. Any suggestions??

For now Korean drama is temporarily unavailable coz the Maxis connection these few days have been kinda bad so have to wait for it to be better baru syiok!! If not it keeps stopping especially at the exciting part. Potong betul!

UNI/COLLEGE!! What intake are you guys taking?? I am planning to wait for my results which will roughly be in March? And enter Sunway University College for CAT or CFAB (depending on my results). I really hope to get 7A's in order to enter CFAB which is a foundation for ICAEW. I know it's gonna be super duper tough but I like the whole programme's idea of working and learning from there. So I'll just keep my fingers crossed and wait for my results.

While waiting we enjoy dulu! Coz Professional Accounting Programmes won't give me much breaks,the most maybe 2 weeks or a bit more. Yeah...off to bed. Nite peeps!

Hyung-nim!

2009-12-28T02:37:00.007+08:00

I guess everyone has been busy with things after SPM be it driving lessons,partying,playing online games and wateva stuff we couldn't do before SPM. For me, I've been busy watching a Korean drama entitled 'You Are Beautiful'. I hooked to the show right now and I am frustrated coz it takes super long time to download. So I am currently waiting for Episode 11 to be downloaded. I am so in the Korean mood now.

Hyung Nim!

I haven't started driving lessons yet. I think I'll end up going alone coz most of the other people have either started classes or have their own group. Anything as long as I pass. Hmm...moving on,cousins are coming from Singapore and also Australia. Having a big family reunion (mum's side) on New Year's eve. Haven't been to one of these for long long time I think since my grandma passed away.

I am also looking forward to my trip to Hong Kong with my parents and one of my cousins who will be joining us from Shanghai. 6 days and 5 nights in Hong Kong yo!! I better meet one of the HK stars... starting to daydream already. haha! Ya,it's already pass my bedtime 2.45am!! that's why I'm crapping. Better get to bed. Nitey nite

CUCI The Musical

2009-11-04T15:02:00.005+08:00

I know it's 2 weeks before SPM but I needed a break. I needed something to make me relax for a bit. Something I could laugh out loud at without being looked at in a weird way. The answer was definitely Cuci The Musical. Friends already went and they said it was great,non-stop laughing. Since Alysha was going for the 2nd time, I decided to go with her. It's been some time since we went for a concert or musical together. The last was the tribute concert for Sudirman early this year.

I have always enjoyed musicals so why not? Arrived at Istana Budaya at 7.45pm which was slightly earlier than expected. Headed to the cafetaria to have a drink as it was raining and it was cold. Alysha met her friends so I ended up at another table with Ezra. Had a long chat with him about my plans after SPM and all. At 8.20pm, we headed to our respective seats. Alysha and I went upstairs and Ezra met up with his friends (they sat downstairs). It wasn't fully packed though. Enjoyed watching handsome Hans Isaac and his 'brothers' AC,Afdlin & Awie. Lots of funny jokes that made the crowd laugh. I enjoyed the whole show but there were bits that were slightly draggy. Overall it was very enjoyable and I would love to watch it again.

Thanks babe for getting the ticket.

I'll Be Back

2009-10-11T17:33:00.005+08:00

Here I am 37 days before SPM, writing this post with a heavy heart. I have to put blogging aside as I am spending too much time online. I know I said this before months ago but I guess this time I really mean it. Many of my other friends have finished revising or nearly finish revising but me? I'm only starting and struggling too in fact as I have to divide my time between helping my mum at the office and studying. I'm not complaining but that is the reality. I can't just sit at home and expect my parents to do everything just because I'm sitting for SPM. It's hard juggling time between studying and being an obedient daughter.

Most of last week I skipped school to help my mum at the office. She's got a new business which deals with foreign students coming into Malaysia to continue their studies. Therefore, there's a lot of paperwork to do etc. And I really pity her as she's doing most of the stuff herself including going to universities to meet the people there,picking up the students and sending them for placement tests etc. I can't just close one eye and expect her to work so hard to put food on the table. So I volunteered to help type the letters,send emails and do paperwork to lessen her burden. It's good training too I guess.

I haven't been studying much in the day time. I start studying after dinner till about 11.30 or sometimes 12 and I sleep. This is part of life and I am facing it patiently. I don't want to complain as I am blessed to have quite a comfortable life. I am just explaining what I'm going through not that I want people to pity me whatsoever. So I will be back after SPM or maybe in the middle of SPM when we have breaks from exams.

Till then,I wish all my friends who are taking SPM 'Best of luck and All the best! Selamat Berjuang! Let's all hope our hard work will pay off when we take our result slips next year. Good luck,dear friends!!

P/S : A lot of spelling mistakes as I wrote this in a hurry.

39 yaw!

2009-10-09T09:11:00.002+08:00

I hate to do the countdown but I still end up counting down. WTH! I'm forcing myself to finish revising Form 4 Sejarah so that I can move on to Form 5. The most boring chapter for me is Chap 3,7,8,9 and 10. I skipped Chapter 3 and am currently at Chap 4. Plan to finish Chap 4 and 5 today. Honestly,I have only started revising Sejarah and a tiny bit of Add Maths,tu pun sbb cikgu bagi homework. Yang lain,haprak aku tak sentuh! Mati aku...ARGGHHH! I hate this feeling of wanting to study but having not enough time. Wish me luck! Signing off,bye.

Flight Sim!

2009-10-07T09:36:00.002+08:00

Yesterday, I successfully downloaded Flight Simulator X. Tried the Flour task. You are given a specific time and to prolong the duration you have to drop Flour bags onto targets somewhere in the sea. If your time is about to finish,you've got to land safely to complete your task. The jakun me tried flying la and I failed to drop the flour bags on any of the targets,asyik masuk air je. And I crashed the plane! Hahaha! Sah tak leh jadi pilot nie...but hey it's just my first time. Later I 'll try again. Quite a bad time to download games kot but to release stress main kejap ok pe... Hehehe...
