Morning @ UTAR Kampar

what a small supermoon

people said that tonight's moon will be very beautiful. The news said so too. The Star said the moon will be bigger and brighter. read the news below.

alright, so,  many people from all around the world stay awake whole night to catch a glimpse on the moon which only appears every 20 years.

Despite the non-stop heavy rain in Kampar, UTAR-ians still kopek their eyes besar-besar to see the moon as if they never see a moon before, including me.

the clouds are so thick, covering the moon. the moon pulak shy shy hiding behind the moon. My friend from KL sms me to look at the supermoom.

finally at 3.30am i saw the moon. i went to the road with my zoom lense. the first thing i saw was not the moon but a cat with her kittten. two of them lying on the road, playing with each other and relaxing. i guess they were waiting for the moon to pop out as well. Then, suddenly, middle of the night, the kitten is hungry n sucks the mother's tits for susu. oppps. i use wrong words to describe the situation ah?? nvm. ya anak kucing minum susu ibu.

watching the kitten 'drinking' milk is so loving. i mean, it's such a loving scene la. after a while the moon finally appeared.

WHAT THE HECK!!

the moon is so damn small la. ayoooooooo. why so funny one. KL's moon so big and bright but Kampar's moon so blehhhh. what a small super moon. no difference with the normal moon also.

you people who's still hoping to see the so-called super moon, go sleep la k. the moon won't suddenly grow bigger la.

Good night.

Kampar hujan lagi

Hujan turun lagi

Wah lebat so scary

But sejuk-sejuk syiok sekali

Everyone run back like crazy

Buat orang basah sampai bawah kaki

Tak boleh keluar kena makan magee

Some people already feel sleepy

Sleep la sampai esok pagi

If you behsyiok don’t come to me

You go makan tahi

I wana go snap pics sana sini

I will see you lagi

okla..

I will talk nicely, i will put my words in a better way, i will try to talk only when it's necessary, i will not simply scold people, i will analyze more before i give my opinions, i will try not let my emotions to take over me, i will be good.

yes i'm skinny, so??

Many people, too many to count, too many to remember who are they, commenting that I am skinny ever since I’m just a kid until today.

Er.. ok.. how should I response to this.

Everytime they say something about this, I’ll just listen because what can I do? I have pocket-sized body and so what?? Some adults will even question whether my parents never feed me is it or whether I’m too poor to eat.

And also the normal comments:

“Ayooo skinny la you!” “Why you so skinny one?” “You are so skinny la.”

What the fark??

So what if people are skinny?! Mana u sakit??

Why we always criticize and judge other’s appearance?

Don’t we all going to die at the end of the day?

Stop being so judgmental, so negative, so rude and so sarcastic. Come on people!

Many people scared and feel shy of their appearance. Many people wana change their physical appearance like wear braces, get plump, get skinner, put heavy make up and so on. Why so care?? It’s ok.. everyone has flaw in themselves. Take it as an advantage rather than a disadvantage. No one is perfect. As long as the heart is nice ma can already lo.

This is me, take it or leave it. If you choose a friend because of their appearance, then you TAK LAYAK to be called as a friend. A friend doesn’t choose their friends by the appearance. Accept others if you want other to accept you.

let us pray..

Today is 11th March 2011, 11311.

Today is a day we gona remember because tsunami striked again. Japan is highly affected with tsunami after a 8.9 richter scale of earthquake. I don't have to say much. Just open any news portal and you'll know how big is the impact. More and more people died with thousand of belongings destroyed.

well..

let's do what we can do.

While most of us here are still safe, able to online and be with friends and family, let us put our hands together, just take one minute to pray for the safety of our brothers and sisters who are facing disasters now.

my first video

Jeng jeng jeng!!

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to my first ever video production!!

Wahahaha.

I’m feeling so excited because this is the first time I make a video using a software all by myself. I am not an IT person. I’m bad in technology. That’s why I used about 2 hours to make this video. The Windows Live Movie Maker 2011 is so different from what I used to see few years ago. I think it has been upgraded.

So what’s so great about this video? It’s great because my effort paid off. I feel so satisfied because I finished what I’ve started.

This video is not shot by video camera. It’s actually a photo slideshows and I made it into a video so that I can post it on Youtube.

105 photos are used to make this video. I shot these photos back in 31/12/2009. It was 5am in the morning and I stood in front of Masjid Kapitan Keling in Penang for 30 minutes, waiting for the moon to set.

And I was so lucky because the moon was at its fullest that night, which was also the 15^th of the Chinese Lunar Calendar.

Besides than photography, I actually enjoy videography too. I want to be in the video and I want to produce video or movie too. The problem is I don’t have the tools to make it happen. Video camera is too expensive. Plus, my camera can’t take video.

Today I’m the producer, director, cameraman, and also the editor of my video. Hahaha.

So let’s enjoy this short video clip of “Moonset on the Last Day of 2009”.

Happy International Women's Day

Happy International Women's Day to all the females in the world.

I know i am late 3 hours but still, Happy International Women's Day to all/

I really hope there'll be no more violence against women, no domestic abuse, no slavery, no misuse of women and no bad things against the women.

I also hope that there will be more feminism movements in this country.

say NO to gender discrimination!

men or women all are equal. when i say equel, means equality in treatment. u dun stupid come and tell me women can't be strong as man, standing while peeing, have penis, wear jeans, or have beard.

come la don't be so naive la.

equality means give equal treatment to women. if a man can get a good job, so does a hardworking and smart woman.

don't ever look down on the power and strength and ability and the spirit of women!

Women deserved love, care, attention, respect, understanding, and support like the men TOO.

We need each other to make this world better.

The world will never be a better olace without women.

Just think who does most of the hardworks especially in your life?

Your MOTHER la! And what is her gender?? Of course female la duh!! takkan your mother male meh!! dun tell me your matha is a man la! wat the heck!!

SO RESPECT WOMEN LIKE YOUR MOTHER!

Lastly, this is what i posted in my Facebook, "Happy International Women's Day. Let's be more respectful to them and treat them equally. When you wana do something bad on them, imagine they are like your mum too. becareful later kena ROTAN!"

Ok, my brain is hang! my brain is blank. i duno what i'm talking about. eye lids are gluing to each other. many people are still awake doing their assignments. good luck n rest early.

ok. tq. good nite. bye bye.

QUOTE of the day

If you want a change, then be the change, make the change happen!

it's still raining

waterdrops from my window.

well, it's still raining out there. whole night already.

i didn't go out for dinner because my bike break down last night.

thanks to my senior, Elween who fetched me to uni this afternoon.

hmmm.. it has been some time since my blog is about my daily life. i mean, in 1 post i talk about what happen bla bla bla la.. you know.. tonight i just feel like writing a diary. who cares! if you don't like, you don't read la. If you wana attack my personal life also go ahead la. you got nothing better to do right??

today is the official day i cycle to uni in this semester although it's the second time. the first time was last Friday when i cycled all the way for 20minutes to Eastlake to meet Pei Suang and the rest then cycled for another 10mins to uni.

have to cycle lo, what to do, motor rosak ma. Siang Yong came to my house and we cycled together. we used to cycle to uni a lot last time before i got my bike. the feeling of nostalgic was there. the sky was so blue with the sunny clouds. the guard waved to me, telling me it's good to cycle. hahaha. of course it's good cuz they don't have to face me, who always try to sneek into uni. my bike don't have sticker actually. shhh.. =p

i had a presentation today. i did something different for the presentation la and i know it's not well accepted especially by a friend when she showed her disgruntled face, not looking at us at all throughout the whole presentation. hmmm.. it's ok. at least i and my groupmates dare to do something different. it's actually a simple presentation. we have to interview politicians. so we feel it'll be boring if we just explain and compare the politicians. at the end, we acted out the whole interview session. hahah. this is the very first time i act in my presentation i think. is it?? =p

my classmates especially Dai Ga Jie, Ah Joo, PC, Pei Suang and Ai Loon were so high tonight. they kept on spamming my Facebook wall by tagging me in their video. Oh God! i tell you, in total, it's more than 30 videos lo. siao la! they were so damn high. duno why.. everyone pakat and attack me. hahaa.

Then i posted this is my Facebook status, "oh JR-ians Jan 2009 intake sekalian. spam me la till this December. Wherever you all go, i will follow you, till we say bye bye. YESSSH!! muakS!".

We are going to graduate by the end of this year. I can see many people have developed, i won't use the change la. I can see developments in them. some become better in ENglish especially Ai Loon. i love to see her talk nowadays. And Vivien is not that crazy anymore. While for Mirawani, i'm touched and impressed when she let go her dream of winning a modelling competition for her studies. These are just the very few examples.

Being here in UTAR 3 years more or less has make us grown up. Saying goodbye is a hard thing but i'm sure before we say goodbye, we'll spend a lot of time together. And they already plan to go Genting Highlands in Week 13, Pangkor Island in Week 14, Terengganu in semester break and Sarawak end of this year.

hahaha. habis koyaklah poket i. But aiyah don't berkira so much la. seriously think about this, do you think you'll have the chance to travel with them after you graduate? i'm not trying to be sentimental here but this is the fact. you can have thousandsss of friends in the cyber world, but true friends only a few of them and in university's life, your classmates are your true friends.

cherish them. make use of the time when you are with them. forgive and forget, support each other.

i talk too much. lalalalalalala.

class at 8am tomorrow. oh hope that the rain won't stop so that i can sleep till the afternoon. haha. how to go to uni if it's rain. ayayaya.

one more thing, one last thing before i end my 'speech', my photos may be not good enough to be put into an exhibition, it's ok, because at least i still have my Facebook and blog to share the beauty of my life through the lense.

梁靜茹 (Fish Leong) - 情歌沒有告訴你 I didn't tell you the love song

woohooo! finally i found this video. nice song by Fish Leong.

Anyway today's lecture talk about new media and yang sama waktu dengannya.

some blog is political, some is very personal and some for business.

i know sometimes i write about politics but this blog is not meant for politics solely. it's for me to express myself.

ok. tq. bye. =p

in presentation..

You might be so much better than your friends. You might not like the contents, language proficiency or style of their presentation but out of respect, you should not show your disgruntled face to them. As your friends, aren't you supposed to give them moral support? You are not perfect either. Accept others differences like how you want people to accept you.

pecah not pancit

Pantun Kampar Sudah Hujan

Hujan lebat akhirnya sudah mali

Gua rempit balik almost mau mati

Semua olang lari masuk lumah sindiri

Go main hujan la if lu bokiasi

Badan basah cepat-cepat pi mandi

Air sejuk buat gua lompat sana-sini

But after pangsai ahhh syiok sekali

Kampar panas gila sejak dari pagi

Tolonglah hujan jangan henti

But dunla sampai esok pagi

If dinner hujan tak henti-henti

UTAR students have to cal delivery

But handphone no money
You don't come and find me

Some people have to eat cokodok basi

Wah hujan make me so hapi

If can, esok hujanlah lagi

worth pondering

Human is such an intelligent but weird and unexplainable creature. Sometimes you know it’s really impossible to achieve something but you still fight for it, believing that you can pull it through, believing in miracles will happen, fearing to fail, and you don’t want to regret for not trying at all. No matter what the results going to be, put away your negative perception because anything can happen. If you didn’t even try to fight for it, you’ll not have the chance at all to win. Never stop fighting and hoping. Like old saying, if u never try, you’ll never know.

toilet in travelling

i'm very particular about toilet.

yes, very particular.

i'm more particular about it when i go travelling.

i conside rmyself a backpacker (not so hardcore yet lah) and when i go travel, i can really go stingy about my expenditure.

i'm willing to spend on food but not on entertainment or souvenirs or hotel.

for me, the point of backpacking is to experience a lot of different things while you stay out of your comfort zone. Then only you'll feel worth it.

talking about hotel, cheap hotel is the best. i just need the room to sleep not to make love. so what if the motel or hostel is dirty or smell badly?!! i don't mind.

but what irked me the most is the toilet!

the toilet must be clean and comfortable!!

while studying here in UTAR, i have been to two places. One is Cameron Highlands and another one is Perlis.

eeeeeeeee.. i beh tahan with the toilet la. in Cameron Higlands, the water pressure damn low until only few drops of water came out from the pipe and u know what the water is yellowish. besides, after you shit you kenot flush. kanasai!

while in Perlis, things are slightly better la. but the water in teh bucket is so damn dirty n smelly. seriously.

for me, bathing is one of the things that i enjoy the most in life. although i don't prefer to bath when i go for backpacking but if there's a toilet, i'm tempted to clean myself. the toilet must be clean ma..

toilet is one of the best places to stay in the world ok.

like i said before, maybe the government should make a toilet classroom where the classroom contains cubiles or toilets. students will sit on the toilet bowl to study. while they are studying, they can shit too. how nice is that. ahhh..

oh. im too fulled. it's time to pangsai again. wahahah.

JOM PANGSAI! =p

i feel so syiok just came out from the bathroom.

i went in at 5.30am and came out around 6.30am.

i just couldn't resist the syiokness of hot shower. i kept on pouring myself with hot water because it's cold la.

dear JR-ians..

Im so happy to bumped into Sara at the pasar malam just now.


we had a 10mins chat. I felt like it has been yearsss since i talked to her. She's always that nice and sweet. She helped me a lot throught my studies here in Kampar and she has been a good companion all this while.


But of course things slightly changed in this semester. But Sara is still the Sara that i knew. =p


well..


I know i have not been a good friend to my friends.


sometimes i wish i can turn back the time to do better.


I never regret i chose Journalism as my course.


Not because i love the nature of this field but the big people up in the Heaven has given me a beautiful bunch of coursemates.


and i feel so 遗憾 that i never got to know them deeply, be in the circle of family.


anyhow, wherever and whatever they do in the future, i always and always pray and care for them.


after this semester, we'll go for internship. then we left about 3 months being together before we graduate end of this year.


how many more times we'll see each other, jokes around, celebrate birthdays, go yumcha, do assignments together, argue, debate in class, have BBQ, have steamboat, ronda and explore together under the rain, hiking and got lost, play like kids at the waterfall, cycle everywhere, go karaoke, make noise in university, cover news together, produce funny video and radio ad, play childhood games by the lake, and camwhore?


I wish all of you who's applying for your internship, all the best. Don't hesitate like me. I know you are not. =p Hope you'll get the company that you want. make use of these 3 months.


to my friend who's applying to go to Cambodia for her internship, i pray hard that you'll get it. Don't worry you will. Don't missed this opportunity. Peluang tak datang dua kali..

Friends, go for your dreamsss although it seem impossible.


My eyes are watery while im writing this. I miss all of them so much. And i'm gona miss them even more during this internship.


i think during my semester break, i can start with my project already, to write each and everyone of them a letter. it's gona be a looong one. =p


To everyone out there, no points having thousands of friends in Facebook when you already have true friends in front of you. We always look for something which we already have. Appreciate what's in front of us at the present.


I'm grateful that my coursemates are there when i need them.


I'm sorry for my kecilakaness.


To my dear JR-ians Januray 2009 intake, I love you all..


I really do..

SMILE!

everyone is so busy, stress and moody lately. but SMILE.. hold ur chin up high! tmr will alwaz b a better day. da world has so much to giv. frens r alwaz thr 2support. miracles do happen. jz do ur best. remember, SMILE. =p

busy --> stress --> down

I never meant to be emo.

I don't want.

But the situation makes me to feel that way.

This semester is a very hectic, packed, stresful and important semester.

I have to deal with Internship application, Final Year Project, assignments, SRC etc etc.

I feel the time i spend with my friends are getting less.

No personal quality time at all.

Yea before this we had a lot of public holidays. It's not a good thing ok cuz it makes all of us so lazy. But i know that is not a good reason not to do your works.

I need to talk to people. To express myself. But everyone also busy. I don't wana bother anyone. My friends are busy too.

I actually just came back from discussion. I haven't taken my dinner and my shower. Came back home around 6pm, took a nap and rushed for discussion at 8pm.

I'm having a presentation tomorrow with Jing Wen and Jie Ee.

As usual, Jing Wen always say something and do another thing. This is her style. She won't express something directly. cilaka right. hahaha.

I feel i really get down to work seriously since last week.

Why.. Cuz time is running out.

What i should do is less blogging and less FB.

Always set my priority!

My roomate is already sleeping and the light is still on because i'm doing my assignment. i feel so bad la..

nvm, he is very understanding. I'll go eat my burger, take my shower and continue with my assignment.

All the best for my friends too.

Last but not least, happy birthday to Xiang Lin and Jing Wen. I love you all. =p

Slept so late last night and wake up so early for 8am class.

Grrrhhh..

Sleepy make me so moody and crazy!

Can’t concentrate in the class. Pancing here pancing there.

When I am sleepy, I will be either:

1)      Talk nonsense and do some crazy stuff.

Or

2)      Get moody and angry easily, simply scold people.

Oh I prefer the former. At least I don’t scold people. But I’ll do crazy stuff that can make people go crazy like simply hi, simply oik, knock people’s butt or talk rubbish.
