Hello!

Haven't posted a recent picture lately, so here you go. =D

So happy that I lost weight since i started going to gym and eating properly (thanks to jun of cuz lol cuz he's our personal trainer and nutritionist hahaha)!!!

I am now back to my 19-year-old weight...joy =D

All I have to do now is to maintain it, or risk looking like the bak pao (pork dumpling) i was last year again...=(
Nuuuu, no more bak pao face please. ><

Thriller/Dangerous no more.

Its amazing (and absolutely ridiculous) how MJ manages to execute his crotch-grabbing, hip-gyrating (back and forth) moves without making them look pervertic or obscene.

=.=

Instead, check this out! Freaking awesome.

Bye bye legendary King of Pop.

I would say more, but am refraining from doing so lest I am pelted with names like poser and stupid again. Heh.

I miss my AhMa =(

Its a taiwanese song. =.= I know. But seriously, i had tears pouring down by the time the song ended. It made me miss my grandma SO much i wanted to hear her voice straightaway. And if u tell me u aren't moved by the song after u hear it, either you r not normal, or u never had/never knew your grandparents.The song is sung in taiwanese min nan yu, which sounds similar to Hokkien so i think most of us (those who were born/grew up in Penang) will understand at least half the song.

Lyrics:

在細漢的時陣　阮阿嬤對我尚好　
When I were young, my granny would most dote on me.
甲尚好的物件攏會留乎我
She'd always keep all the best things just for me.
伊嘛定定帶我去幼稚園看人在七桃
She'd always take me out to kindergartens to watch kids play
看人在辦公伙兒　看人在覓相找

伊定定跟阮說　叫阮著要好好仔讀冊
She'd always remind me to study hard
嘸通大漢像恁老爸仔這麼狼狽
So I won't end up a good for nothing, like my dad.
在彼個時陣　阮攏聽攏嘸
Back then, I did not understand a word she said.
阿嬤　你到底是在講什麼
Granny, what do you really mean?

大漢了後　才知影阿嬤的話
Now that I'm grown, I finally understood granny's words,
我會甲永遠永遠放塊心肝底
and I will forever keep them in my heart.
想可一步一步的過去　
Looking back, having climbed steps of memories
定定攏會乎人真難忘
They were so very hard to forget, for me
時間一分一秒塊過去　
Time passes in seconds and minutes
在阮的心內定定攏會想到伊
yet deep down, I will always think of thee.

阿嬤你今嘛在叨位　
Granny, where are you?
阮在叫你你甘有聽到
Can you hear me?
阮的認真甲阮的成功你甘有看到　
Can you see my success & sincerity?
阮在叫你你知影沒
Are you aware those calls were all from me?
阿嬤你今嘛過的好麼'
Granny, how are you feeling?
甘有人塊甲你照顧
Is there someone who takes care of thee?
希望後世人阮擱會凍來乎你疼　
I can only hope in my next life, I'd have you dote on me.
Be your grandchild again, and call you once more, my Granny.

(By the way, try [i said TRY] singing the song if you are one of those who can speak hokkien. Someone mentioned it in the comments for the video. ZOMG i tried and i broke down in tears in 1 minute flat. This is some powerful tear inducing song, i can tell u. Either that, or im a REALLY big crybaby. =/)

My university life is over.

Not over, over in a bad way.

Just over, over as in...

I'M FINALLY A POST GRADUATE!! =D

Technically, not yet, cuz results for BVC will only be out 2nd of July.

I'm quite terrified cuz honestly I don't think I did very well for the last 2 exams.

Freaking multiple choice questions exams,

something I havent done since high school, for crying out loud.

My mind just jammed and refused to comprehend after the 40th question, especially the last paper, and i had to read the same thing over and over again for like, 3 times wtf. =.=

But its all over now, and BVC is over, and I'm FINALLY, FINALLY gonna get my license to start a life as a young lawyer (I dont really wana make law my career but this is another long story so pfffft i'll save it for another day and we can all pretend i'm gonna be a lawyer for now =P).

--------------------------------

TODAY:

I've helped to cook dinner.

Washed up the plates and stuff.

Put the clothes into the washer.

Refilled a few 2-litre bottles with water and popped them all into the fridge so that superman and I wont die from thirst.

Took a long hot shower.

Gave myself a quick eye massage.

And finally settled down now to type this and watch my e-news.

Ah blissful are the times after a 6 week long examination period.

Until results come out, that is.

Accompany me through the long night.

I love this song. =D

And its helping me concentrate so yay!!!!

Burning the midnight oil...

Its back to cramming and frantic memorising and panicking for the last 2 final exams.

No more presenting submissions in (fake) courts, no more plans/skeleton arguments to write, no more worrying if i missed out a point in fact/law.

The final 2 exams will be multiple choice questions based....75 questions, 3 hours each.

And i'm burning the midnight oil like there's no tomoro.

36 hours to the first MCT.

Ah my poor mind, i pray that u fail me not in these crucial moments.

And how can i forget,

those doses of love that re-energise me every now and then. =)

8th days of Finals: Family Law

The judge refused to grant me one of the 2 orders i was applying for.

T___T

I didn't have any authority to back up my (very weak) argument for the client.

I suppose getting only half the submission right is gonna affect my marks pretty much.

The good news is, everyone else drew flak at the second order as well.

The bad news is, we could ALL be penalised (and fail *touch wood*) for it.

Nothing else to do but to pray hard and hope we all get through.

It sucks being among the first few ones on the rota today compared to being the last one on the rota yesterday.

Lucky for superman, he only has half the worries the guinea pigs (ie. ME) had to go though in the assessment today!!!

But he deserves it after spending the whole nite up with me in the 24/7 university IT hub while i fretted and agonized and fussed and got stressed over typing out my skeleton argument. He even helped out and contributed his own bit to my work when i was taking a break at 6am, bless his soul. =)

7th day of Finals: Commercial Law

I was the last one on the rota taking the assessment (woe is me) and i guessed graham bartlett, my commercial law tutor was bored out of his mind by then, wat with every student repeating the same points and arguments in their submissions to the judge.

But he granted me the application so yay!

And he was really nice and helpful, despite asking me a shit load of questions and screwing up my whole skeleton argument.

I finished in 10 minutes i think which freaked me out again cuz almost everyone who went in before me COULDN'T FINISH.

I'm always the odd one out. o_O

Even SuLing says im crazy,

and she's the smartest 1st class student among us!

T___T

6th Day of Finals: Advocacy Cross Examination

I finished in 6 minutes out of 10.

o_O

Was probably rattling on like a bullet train, and i darn well hope Emma, the advocacy tutor who was assessing me, won't minus points for that.

Otherwise, i suppose it was okay, not that hard an exam but still...i really hope i covered everything we needed to elicit from the witness.

*prays hard*

Anyways.

Its been terribly hot in UK for the past week...my room is SO stuffy and warm in the daytime!

And when i say hot, i mean like 18 to 24 degrees celcius wtf.

Its 14 degrees right now and I have the fan on in the room =.=

Its just SO freaking hot with the sun shining and everything.

I'm so gonna melt when i go back to Malaysia where its 32 degrees on average....

sigh.

Somewhere Out There.

I know I'm supposed to be preparing my skeleton argument for my commercial law paper on Wednesday.

But i can't help it, u have GOT to watch this:

I cried. Did you?

Les Miserables.

I am doomed.

Feeling VERY under the weather...and its SO DAMN IRONIC cuz its like, what, freaking 20 degrees out there and I'm supposed to be loving the weather.

But nooo.

I HATE THE WEATHER ITS SO HOT AND STUFFY.

I WANT WINTER AND NATURAL AIR CON BACK.

I HATE THE FAN.

I HATE THE SOUND OF THE FAN WHIRRING.

ITS GETTING ON MY NERVES.

I FEEL SO DARN UNPREPARED FOR MY ADVOCACY EXAM TOMORROW.

GAHHHHHHHHH.

YAY!

KRIS ALLEN WON!

(scroll down for pics in my previous post)

AMERICAN IDOL 2009!!!

(sorry outdated on the news abit cuz we only watched the finals last nite, 2 nites after the results were aired live heh)

I feel like i won too, cuz Tjun was supporting Adam Lambert and superman was supporting Danny Gokey and they were both saying Kris wasnt going to win for sure yada yada yada...

BUT U SEEEEEEEEEEEE.

He won.

*smug face

5th day of Finals: Advocacy Skills 2

Nothing much to say except the police witness was a very nice young guy but he jumbled up his evidence. =.=

And i followed only la, so end up both oso jumbled up haih.

We had to wear our barrister robes and wig!! And conduct the assessment in our university's fake court! It felt really weird all dressed up and posh like. o_O

Actually, I just looked very weird haha.

I finished my examination-in-chief in 8 minutes, which was probably a bit too fast cuz we were allowed 10 minutes. Guess I did my best d lah. Hopefully my results will be as promising as the mocks? I'll be praying hard! =D

Time to get some sleep now....Soooooo tired.

This is a really REALLY outdated post.

But what the heck. My 22nd birthday!!! *rush

I remembered i haven't posted any pictures at all yet, and while i do have some pictures of what happened on my burfday, this are the few ones i've got with me so far. =D

My surprise birthday party by my BVC mates who turned up in the kitchen with our dinner and a lovely blueberry cheesecake. All painstakingly planned by superman. =D


Me and my favourite cheesecake!

My little hoard of burfday presents...from Tjunnie, Shu, Dann, Jeff, Sujin, and Richard. DO YOU SEE TALES OF BEEDLE THE BARD IN THE PICTURE I HAVE IT NOW MUAHAHA THANKS TO TJUN WHEEEEEE. *diehard Harry Potter fan

And!!! A surprise all the way from Malaysia! From the bestestestest girlfriend!! I love u gurl! A very pretty handmade card with her signature writing, a souvenir, and a white organiser which im using right now. =D

It was a rather quiet birthday last year, but nevertheless, I loved it. I guess we really do tend to mellow down with age. I received lots of messages and emails and smses as well, from UK and Malaysian frens alike, which were all very sweet! (to my louheng KV: im so sad i didn't get ur card =( but thank you anyway, i know it would have been a very sui card cuz u made it urself rite! =D stupid postman lost it lor haih).

Of course, i would have loved spending my burfday with my best frens back in malaysia, but spending my 22nd in Newcastle with my BVC mates was great anyway. I definitely wouldn't trade that for anything in the world!

~AMERICAN IDOL 2009~

KRIS ALLEN

IS IN

THE FINALS

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heartless - Kris Allen

(the song that got him into the finals - the way he sang this song is 231457865 times better than the original sucky song by Kanye West, just listen to the original then listen to this version and u'll know what i mean!)

Kris-Allen-2009-03-17.mp3 - Kris Allen

He's my favourite!!!!!! =D

I can't believe he got into the Top 2!

I thought he was going home cuz well honestly, Danny Gokey and Adam Lambert are just SO good...i was actually hoping Adam Lambert would go home...haha....although he's so damn good but...i duno, i don't like his style i guess.

Kris hasn't had as many great performances as Danny or Adam, but he has a HUGE fan base (his boyish looks help a lot but do u know he's married!!! o_O)

ANYWAY!

Kris is IN!!! SO YAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm really sad that Danny had to leave though...his rendition of 'Endless Love', 'What Hurts the Most' and 'Jesus Take the Wheel' was absolutely brilliant...and his slow ballads always ALWAYS sound so darn good. Im pretty sure he'll come out with an album though!

Bye bye Danny Gokey...

Listen to these songs that he sang throughout the competition...

i swear, they can just melt you.

What Hurts The Most - Danny Gokey


Endless Love - Danny Gokey

You Are So Beautiful - Danny Gokey
enjoy =)

Fourth Day of Finals: Negotiation Skills

Well.

It wasn't as bad as i expected.

In fact, it was BETTER than i expected.

Hehe.

My first time negotiating with an angmo (his name is adam something or other), cuz throughout the whole year i'd alwiz been negotiating with asians only.

But he was alright (actually i wasn't expecting him to be so nice), we conceded here and there and finally came to a reasonable settlement so...

YAY!!!!

At least I know i won't fail it like i failed during my mocks for this subject cuz I gave in too much to my opponent then and ended up losing £35,000 for my fake 'client'.

T___T

I know, damn lawyer buruk right.

BUT! I have now redeemed myself. Heeeeee.

Next exam: Advocacy Examination in Chief!

(We are going to have police officers-in-training acting as our witnesses in court!!! o_O)
