Slowly but surely

haha.. yeah whats up. i'm back here again :)
so, i've been doing some deep thought of late. I've watched a few of my friends take off overseas, taking full advantage of their scholarship opportunity. That's awesome huh? One to India doing dentistry, another to Australia doing psych. Yeah, i know, pretty cool right?

Now if only I had studied a LIL' bit harder!! haha, then I could be one of 'em too. But there goes the "if only" again. -sigh- I'd like to come to a point in life where there is no need for the use of those two words. don't you? as drowning and sickening that feeling is, I guess it is and will always be true for the rest of my life. haha, yeah same goes for you too for whatever you missed out on.

That brings me to today's topic. I was just browsing through my cousin Kelly's facebook photos lately and I see the joy she's going through, studying overseas. Friends she's made, places she's been, cultures she's come to know. Made me think...

HEY!! there's a whole new world out there. and its just waiting for me to go explore it. haha, I did have a dream to accomplish before I die, that is to visit all the 7 WONDERS!! you should've a long life dream too. x)

but anyways, really made me realise i'm so stuck with life here. Gosh!! assignments, relationships, futsal, endless time wasting. It kinda gives me a bump in the head saying, "DUDE!! wake up. Do something useful thats actually gonna help YOU for a change!"

Of course, sometimes it's okay to be a lil' bit more concentrated on improving yourself. :)
Who knows, maybe one day when I'm out there doing something worth remembering.. probably someone else would see my situation instead and get inspired as I did with Kelly.

So yeah, if you haven't been doing anything fruitful.. I strongly suggest you take some time out to think about it. It could change your life just like that *SNAP*. haha

Okay so enough with the life revelation for now. Grandma is back! She went holidaying in China for over a week. GAH!! i wanna go holidays, probably europe. Furthest I've been to is Australia. xS

Oh and yesterday was CES Choir practice again. We're just doing some fine tune ups before the last practice this Thursday night. The following week will be the performance. So if ya wanna catch me in uniform in a CHOIR for the FIRST time, come to DUMC Dream Centre on the 12th and 13th June 2010. It's during MCCC! It's gonna be SO AWESOME!! ;)

anyways, I got to go now. Taking a cab to college :)
P.S. I'm having my JPJ exam tomorrow! Let's hope I pass it and I can start driving my friends and I around. NO MORE WASTING TIME!!

WORLD CUP in 10 days? xDxD

FRENCH OPEN : NADAL STILL TO WIN :)

Eyes :)

whats up you! yeah.. so the very fact that i'm posting this right now means i'm not blind! haha how cool is that? yeah, doctors said nothing wrong with my eyesight. Got me a lil' worried for a moment there..

So, it kinda got me thinking.. my eyes. precious little things they are. I seriously need to appreciate them. I saw a few people who had some serious problems with their eyes( I wont describe it ). I guess God's beautiful creation must be put to good use.

What are you doing with them? you looking at things you not suppose to? taking care of it the way its supposed to be? they're a powerful thing. sorrrrryyyy if i sound over dramatical, haha.

okay fine, changing subject. I've just re-watched the movie My sister's Keeper with my sis. Still it touches me somehow, nearly brought tears rolling down my cheek. THAT SONG! gahhh, so simple yet meaningful in ways i cannot describe. I've got it here, you can listen to it and really understand the lyrics. Uberly awesome man! very EMO though xP

Oh and had futsal match yesterday. FIA january intake v FIA march intake. It was a good game. The players were friendly except for a few. Towards the end of the game, I tackled the ball cleanly and this dude pull my hand back nearly ripping off my skin! ZZzz, 3 red marks were on my hand. gahhhh, so rough. CHINESE!! i can never understand some chinese people. even the malay dude was so friendly. I guess maybe he didn't like losing that much. Un-sportsman like. You win some you lose some man.

You ever felt that before. Something touted to be a nice friendly activity ends up being slightly more brutal than expected. People not showing sportsmanship is really a disgrace. -sigh-

Speaking o' sports.. French Open is up and running. Safina is outta the first round. I seriously dunno how she got to No.1. the way she played, utterly disappointing.. I'm still banking on Nadal to win. Now that guy is a true gentleman. xD

Football's getting hotter each day, leading up to the World Cup. Watch out for all the latest news..

By the way, I'm going through my earliest posts on this blog. haha, October 15th 2010 will be its 3rd birthday. It's nice reading through what you wrote last time. Brings back fond memories...

Anyways, i gtg now. Watching another movie now, Sherlock Holmes this time. I heard it wasn't too bad. Hope im not disappointed :)

P.S. here's the song for your entertainment.. ( no, not the Adam Lambet song! )

Events Galore!

hielo there..
it's been two days in a row now that i've been coming back late. Doing loads of stuff lately. Tomorrow continues with appointments with doctors and friends. Oh btw, if you never noticed.. i've got this lil' problem with my left eye. somehow it's kinda more sensitive than my right one. A lil' smaller too at times. So, have to check up with the eye-specialist tomorrow.. hopefully nothings too wrong with it.

There are too many things these days. And just when I had the mood to borrow economics books to start STUDYING (1st time), then all this comes up. I even have Teacher's Day to attend tomorrow. xS

Maybe it's God's way of keeping me alive through these hard times.

Oh and during English class today, we were told to write poetry comprising of many different types. It was done in groups and this one group wrote a love/hilarious/goofy/seductive poem for my teacher. haha, it was awesome.. I felt seduced! LOL!!

haha ever tried that before? if you haven't I seriously encourage you to. Boy or girl it don't matter. Preferably boy.. a girl doing it just doesn't seem very right hehe :P

So anyways, WORLD CUP is in 16 days!! I'm gonna watch at least a match everyday if i can. Not gonna miss it for the world :P You shouldn't too!!

aikhz.. its 11.40 pm now. have to get some sleep now. see y'all again soon then. nights

Top Performers?

heya. Hm... my mum had a chat with Ms Ruma Lopez today, inquiring bout the fees for the second semester. Apparently Ms Ruma remembered my name, as one of FIA's top performers xS
Just so you know, I had 3A's and 2B's for my first semester. haha, I guess that kinda gives you somewhat of a picture of what FIA is like. Oh well, I don't know if I should feel happy or sad :P

Anyways, mom told me a story.. of how a girl who scored a mere 2A's in SPM managed to attain a full scholarship for her degree course and so forth (i think). This was all because she worked very hard after the disappointment of form 5. She concluded the telling tale saying how there is still hope after SPM.

HMMMMMM...... I guess this could probably be a wake up call. PMR and SPM have been somewhat of a blessing I guess. Didn't really study much, well I guess you could say I hardly studied at all during my schooling life. The only time that ever happened was probably UPSR, the only exam to date that I actually felt confident leading up to the momentous exam days.

Gahhh.. I need a drive! some form of adrenaline, something that would hit me THAT HARD in the head!! you have any ideas? 'cause I guess I am 18 already after all. getting old peoples!!!

Oh and 2nd semester is coming in thick and fast. Assignments, activites... just when I was enjoying a lil' daybreak. A-Levels having their semester break xS

Oh and there's this awesome version of the song AIRPLANE by HAYLEY (paramore) feat. B.o.b and Eminem. I hope you enjoy it. don't mind the slightly *crude language...



Gtg guys... duty calls me for far more important stuff. Btw, I have been a lil' emo lately. THAT MEANS!!! NEW SONGS!! haha...
i'll post some up the next time. :)

see y'all

Love

Hiya there,
No.. if you're thinking what you're thinking 'bout today's topic then it's not exactly what I mean. I'm talking 'bout the friendlier and more subtle version of love. haha..

I guess I never took time to appreciate the love I have, be it from my friends, family or even God Himself. I guess I am now. Let's go one by one...

Edwin and Kai xiang.. always there with me if i needed someone to chill with. Just the guys enjoying life during the good and bad times. 2008 has been a great year but nothing compares to 2009. I'm sure we'll have an endless time of friendship years to come :)

Sarah-Ann and Wendy.. gosh, i still dunno how we got so close. But ever since form 3 I guess you were and still are one of my closest buddies. 'Em endless calls talking nonsense, everything I will always remember. When I can drive, we'll go out alot more often yeah?

Michael.. gah, taught me soo much. i can only be so grateful. Buddy, mentor... thank God He sent someone like you to me. It has changed my life ever so dramatically and I still thank Him to this date. Someone whom I will always remember :)

Danial, Kabir, Ashraf, Sean.. buddies @ primary school and buddies forever. haha, nice clump of races huh? malay, mamak, sikh, chinese.. lolz. I couldn't have found a better group of friends then :)

Shaun, Eugene, Isaac, Laviniya, Priya.. group of peoples whom I had an awesome time with. You guys are really great. The times we spend together will definitely be memories for which I shall cherish for a long long time.

And to my other friends, teachers and church members... it has been a blast hanging with y'all. My years at high school and primary were definitely to die for. I wouldn't have changed anything as the way it was. I'm just truly grateful. :)

Phew!! haha, it's like as though I'm at my funeral just before I die. Of course to my family and HIM, with love I thank y'all for everything. 18 years of my life have come with blessings aplenty. whew!! 18 years! man im old.... ZZZzzz

So yeah, when troubles come.. I guess these are the few people I look to. I bet you have your own list of awesome people that you hold ever so dearly to. You really need to take some time to appreciate them just a lil' bit more. This is before you lose 'em and never get the chance to do so. :)

ANYWAYSSS.......back to life. I've been entrapped into the Vampire Diaries saga again. Dad downloaded more episodes.. Gosh, how I love Nina Dobrev!!!

Oh and in case ya didnt know.. yesterday was Global Day Of Prayer 2010!!! if you weren't at Stadium Malawati then you really missed a historical event. I hope y'all did your own prayers at home. Stand United as ONE for the LORD!!

Aikhss... I gtg now. Sarah waiting for me on the phone. I'll talk to y'all again soon? haha, have a good one peoples!

P.S. found a lovely new song. ENJOY!!

Surprise!!

heyyyy whatsss uppppp peoples in the housee!!

So yeah, first of all I didn't get the JPA scholarship to go overseas. Well anyways I wasn't really expecting it, chances were very low. O'well, there's still the glimmer of hope on the local one.

Then again, none of my friends got it so if they can't even get it.. I didn't really think I could get it. Though it was kinda fun telling some of my friends I got it..

Alicia: beng way!! so how? did you get it?
Beng way: yeah
Alicia: serious?? congratsss... where to?
beng way: papa new guinea
Alicia: zzzz

hahaha... it was cool. News traveled fast, 'cause within 15 seconds other knew I got the scholarship. And within 10 seconds they all knew I was bull-shitting.. haha. And that was when I only told Alicia bout it. cool huh?

Oh oh in case you didn't know. My mum was online chatting with other peoples on the day of the release. haha, 'em nerds!! xP
Lol, i had a feeling she wasn't talking to other applicants. I think they were probably the mothers of applicants too just like her. HAHA!! A forum for moms x)

By the way, each time my mum refreshed the JPA page.. apparently an increase of averagely 70 hits per second. How crazy is that? 70 people refreshing the same page per second at the same time.. ZZZzz NERDS!! xS

so anyways, bout the topic for this post. I guess well, I've been going through the motions lately. Good times, bad times. An even mixture of both. Some ended happily while others not so good. I guess we all have rough patches in life huh? yeah, but this time I guess i'll be a lil' bit more mature in handling 'em. You should too! xD

This is especially for those events which totally surprise you from outta the blue. I mean some things I really didn't expect to happen, but it did. You experienced it before? I guess you just really need to pick yourself up and get through it.

Oh and look, I found the perfect song for today's post. I'm not sure if y'all know this song but I had it up as my blog song some time ago.. haha hope you enjoy it!



P.S. Champs League Final is starting in about 2 hours! Inter v Bayern!! haha i think i might just watch it! 2am?!?!? xD

i'll see y'all around soon. needs to hang out with my friends more... seriously

Could it all Change?

hey peoples.. look i've been keeping up with the blogging for the past few days.. haha xP

So, it's the 20/05/2010.. Thursday 5.47 pm. I just got the news yesterday that the JPA results would be coming out tomorrow. Phew!! after all the steps, I'm finally here at this point. *applying/hospital tour/interview*
It could alter the course of my future really... a decade set before me. haha, yeah it looks like "whoa!" if you say it like that but I guess I'll take it slowly one step at a time. I can't wait for it!!

Oh and judging by my friends' results in their remark of the SPM papers, it doesn't look too good for me. A majority of them had their papers "Kekal" as the original grading given to them. I hope mine doesn't though, or rm200 *poof* just like that!

Btw, I've just completed another 3 hours of driving lesson this morning. Apparently, i could do my QTI test this saturday and the other tests on June 2. that means I could get my license as soon as 2 weeks!! how cool is that? no more waiting on transport and wasting time anymore!!

Speaking of this morning, I was wondering if to skip econs class for the driving 'cause I didn't want to cancel my driving lesson instead. I'd booked 3 hours and telling the instructor so last minute might aggravate him and so I went with the lesson. Phew, how please I was to hear that the econs class was cancelled! So I killed two birds with one stone! Sorry to my other classmates who went to college for nothing. Sun-U was quite inefficient.

It's the Champions League 09/10 final this saturday!! Friends asking me to go out mamak. Sure, but it's 2am! gahhh, I hope I can get a few people to come along xD

Oh, I finally reconciled with people whom I thought we argued for no good reason. Well, I really don't like being in a heated situation with someone.. so yeah xD

anyways, i gtg peoples! Oh and GLOBAL DAY OF PRAYER is on this SUNDAY!! Let's stand united people!

The little things...

hey there.. yeah sorry, had neglected this blog for abit. I'll try to be more consistently consistent next time. :)
so how've ya been? I hope you're not wasting the next 5 mins of your life on this post xP

so, these past few weeks have been somewhat a learning experience for me. Apart from the college stuff which too had taught me so many things (apart from the education). Well, yeah i've come to learn one valuable thing for which most of you might already have heard of. Its about cherishing what you have now before you regret it when its gone forever. xD

haha.. deep statement.... and no, just in case you're wondering, im not emo-ing. xP
oh well, it's just that the people around me now (*winks*), the things i have, the life i live... all the little things. I'm taking a slight paradigm shift on them. haha, maybe my ever shallow mind was so engulfed in the joys of life that I didn't really pay attention to some of the awesome things and people i have. yeah, i guess you could say I lost a few precious things... hence the sudden revelation xD

anyways.. away from all that. I've joined the CES choir in church. So yeah, we gonna perform for MCCC this year. not bad huh? sign up for MCCC and you might just see me up on stage :P

College life is not bad so far.. still surviving xP oh btw, i got my first sem. results.. I had an A,A,A,B,B. Grrr.. one of 'em B's was only 1 mark away from an A !!!
o'well, i'll be thankful for the A's that nearly ended up being B's..

all in all.. life's been treating me pretty okay lately. Well, one thing's for sure. I'll definitely enjoy it better the moment my license arrives! i've got 4 hours down and 6 more to go!! Gosh, I really cant wait to drive. All those hours wasted will finally be put to a stop. xD

Oh and i've watched a couple of movies lately.. iron man 2 (not bad) and Nightmare on Elm Street (okay). I really wanna watch IP Man 2 though. everyone says its awesome! can't wait for that too !!

sikes.. i've run outta time people. i'll catch y'all around sometime. c u then and have a nice day!!
