New Year's Resolution

I've got a list of New Year's Resolution written down in my diary.. Well, it's almost the same with last year's. Since I feel like I haven't accomplish my resolution last year, I feel I need to do it this coming year.

I'll only share one thing from that list - to learn to play more guitar picking styles. I'm really bad at that. I can only strum and they almost always sound the same. Boring! I've only learned a new song this holiday - One In Equal by Seven Wiser. I still can't get the solo part though.

By the way, I've pasted the link to the song I tabbed in this blog. Currently I've posted one at Ultimate-guitar.com. More to come in the future.


Cheers to all and Happy New Year 2008!!
Yours Truly,
sleepy

Christmas pics

These are the pics taken on Christmas Eve and Day *laughs* Ive already mentioned some of the food and stuff

watdya call this thing. btw.. i hate firecrackers so we got the 'friendly' ones


my bro stephen enjoying it


sharon's garlic bread..


my ugly sushi


fried chicken that has been marinated for a whole day

we were watching Elf.. good movie


cute teddies for decoration


i love that snowman.. sharon can be very creative!

Well, that's about it.. I guess I didn't take much pic coz I'm so lazy!

The Getaway

I went jogging at the hill behind my house with dad and sharon, but it was more like a brisk walk coz they ate before going so i had to go slow. There were quite a number of cars passing by the narrow road leading into the forest where we were heading and at first i thought they were just some peepz exploring the nature until i saw a white cloth tied to a tree by the roadside and realised that they must be having some kind of sports event, jungle trekking maybe, no idea. But why at Lumut Hill? I thought it's off-limit. Ok,we are trespassers too. But I thought it's for soldiers training or something. Oh, and of course for moon sighting. But i think its a good place to get away, to explore. It is, after all, the nature.

Christmas Day

Merry Christmas to all peepz celebrating out there. Hope u enjoy it coz it's the highlight of the holiday!

Christmas eve - I did made sushi but it wasnt pretty. Taste good tho thanks to the wasabi. Sharon (my sis) made garlic bread, fried chicken, nuggets n crab balls and we had ice cream for dessert. Very simple right? Coz there were only me, sharon n my bro at home! My parents attended this wedding and shely had a party at her friend's so it's kinda boring. Bt at least today i learn to play a new song with the keyboard my bro stephen taught me. It's funny coz he's suppose to be the one playing the piano but i played more than him simply because i'm interested and he's not.

Well,exam result is coming out soon and i'm both nervous and excited! At least i don't have supp so i can pretty much relax before the next sem begins!

Princess

Princess, on her way to a new home. She kept jumping out of the box. Unfortunately I wasn't there to see it!

Tale of the Lizard's Tail

the pups are now in the cage! lol... just like any dog's fate at our home. we just can let them out if u noe wat i mean. it's ironic coz they're now eating leftovers just like the old ones. but i think it's better than chaining them at least they can run in circles in the cage! don't worry, the cage is BIG.

Well, I attempted to clean my room on several occasions but u'know, it's an 'attempt' so u can imagine it looks pretty much the same. I did manage to change my bed's mattress and bedsheet. Not bad. Except I found a lizard's tail below the bedsheet! I wonder how it got there! and my sis has been sleeping on it without realizing! ok, even a 'dead and dried' tail I don't wanna touch so I asked my bro and he just took it with his bare hands. Let's just say I hate lizards - period.

well, it's still early december so there's plenty more to do in the holiday.. I'm watching House M.D. at the moment.

holiday...

ermm..i shouldn't be writing blog now coz I have an exam in one hour time..but i don't think i'll be going online often after this so i just wanna be a well-wisher now. HAPPY HOLIDAY!! (advanced) and for those staying at the hostel gurls happy moving!

i'm moving out tuesday and i kinda packed some of my stuff already. my plan for the holiday? plenty! i'm lazy to write it out here.

by the way, Christmas is coming and I know alot of peepz don't celebrate but I kinda feel like going in the mood of it so i wanna do something special on dat day. don't know what yet..maybe piggin out on the couch? haha..maybe sushi coz dats all i can do.

Wish me luck for my exam later! I sure hope it's not hard!

Puppies in da house

it's really near the exam now and basically i haven't study much coz I was at home. We've got two new puppies and every once in a while I'll abandon my books and go see them so it's so distracting. The cat is now at the front of the house after being treathened by the pups, or so she thought. The pups are quite innocent coz they do nothing more than sniff and bark at the cat (if you call that innocent). My sis gave them names: Toby the white male pup and Princess the brown fluffy female pup. I like both of them equally and i think the two adult dogs in the cage are jealous coz these pups are free at night and we give them dog food. The adult ones are lock in the cage 24/7 and eat leftovers. See how biased we can get! But the thing is, the big dogs belong to the family, the pups belong to Sharon, my elder sis, and the cat belongs to Shely. Me? I don't have a pet actually. I'd like to have a monkey though * laughs

Best for Me

That's the name of the new song I made. It's somewhere between pop and alternative rock. very acoustic of course (what d'ya expect from an acoustic guitar?) Well, the lyrics about this lonely person trying to find her way in the obstacles of life, secretly liking this guy but have no guts to spill it. I'm not gonna post the lyrics here 'coz I hate critics! Lol.. It's just for fun and i'm not serious about it. Besides, there may be lots of grammatical errors too.

I bought a $1.80 umbrella recently but what the hell, u think it's gona work? I've tried it once and instead of opening like a dome shape, the spines jut out to the opposite side. That's why it's cheap I guess. Now it's just stuffed in my wardrobe somewhere. I may need it if I forgot my 'real' umbrella again. but i doubt it's gonna be of any help!

travelling salesman problem

that's a problem 4 me. This is my assignment. And it's confusing coz my part - the heuristic algorithm for upper bound - is lengthy and long.. damn! i dono if I can explain it if the lecturer asked.

The exam is so near! It's less than a month now. And yet I'm sitting here writing pointless stuff. The ICTC is the only place to be. If I go back to the hostel, I'll have nothing to do. I don't have my laptop and the sound from my stupid fan is killing me.

The worst part about exam is there's lots of tests before that. Every lecturer is trying to set times for tests and I feel like it's a war between me and my notes/tutorials! haha..i shall win =)

Rain on me

I know it's kinda silly but I really can't live without my umbrella esp. here at hostel. I left it at my dad's car when I came back to hostel last Monday. And everyday after that I worry about the weather. I don't have a car so if ot rains, I can't go to classes. That's why I have to go back this week.

I'm not really busy this week. In fact, there's not much work to be done. I guess I shouldn't be complaining about school work and stuff especially seeing my friends' packed schedules. Everyone is extra busy these days. Me? Since my laptop is at the shop, everyday after classes, I go back to my room and sleep. Then wake up. Eat. Do a bit of Maths. Play guitar. Sleep. And repeat the process again. I call my life the sleepy algorithm..

Time and tide wait for no man

Is time too fast or too slow?

Well, personally I think it really depends on the situation. Of course our life span is short if you compare it with the age of the earth. But to think of sitting in a boring lecture seems like the clock is reluctant to tick. At times I feel like time fly by especially when I'm enjoying myself or when I'm very busy. I noticed that when I was revising for my test, I kept thinking, "If only I can stop time." But on the other hand, if I'm about to face some scary situation like an inrterview or a presentation, I'll have butterfly in my stomach and I'll keep looking at the time. I'll just wanna get over it fast.

So, now I kept thinking is time running too fast or too slow? How can we measure the speed of time?

Hey There Delilah by Plain White T's

| 0 comments

my current fav song! i play it all night wif my guitar..so addicted!
here's the lyrics:

Hey there Delilah What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you doTimes Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguiseI'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you Would take your breath away
I'd write it all Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

*enjoy*

Vanishing Day

19th August 2007

I wanted to play ping pong or badminton with my sis today at LLRC. We went there but turned out there’s was a netball match so there goes my one-day-and-very-short holiday. Sigh. The following week should be a busy week for me but I’m still planning to watch some movies. I know I should be studying, doing my work and stuff but I really dread it. Like I said, I can’t last 30 minutes on my notes. When I’m stuck at some problems, I’ll simply put them aside. No harm done. I hope I won’t regret saying this when exam comes *_*”

I remember coming home Saturday night to find a corner of my room flooded with water from the air-con leaks, I mean really flooded! The worst part is, my brother and sisters walking around my room like nothing for a week and didn’t even bother to clean up the mess! Just coz it’s not their room so they don’t care. What the hell! It’s still leaking, by the way. The towel can’t seem to stop it. Duh! I think the paint below the air-con is starting to peel off. The leaks are making trailing marks on my wall! It’s a good thing I don’t have carpet on the floor. I don’t favor carpets. They attract dust and are hard to clean, esp stains. Well, I guess I’ll have my dad ask the repairmen to look at my air-con.

Splitting Lives

I have to make time for leisure and schoolwork and that, to me , is like living two lives(i know i'm exaggerating but it sure feels like it!) doing homework feels very different from watching movies, y'know. Why can we watch movies throughout the evening while we can only last half an hour studying? It is so unfair for the work! haha...

I went to Hua Ho Tutong twice last week and I met Mijah the first time I went there. Actually, I met Mijah wherever I went! I'm not saying it's a bad experience. Instead, I'm very excited coz I hardly get the chance to hang out with her! It's funny how we bounce into each other all the time. It's becoming like a kind of joke between us. Like we are fated or something.. Mijah, if you are reading this, thank you for everything. You know what I usually say right? Study hard ok!

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO: my bro STEPHEN and my friend YA YUIN on 11th Aug

HAPPY ADVANCED BIRTHDAY (in case I don't go online) TO: CHOW MEI on 16th Aug (correct right? my guess..)

Semester 3 Quest

It's been a while but to tell you the truth, nothing much happens these days except of course the start of a new semester which is already, as I am sitting here, as dull as any other days in the holiday. The first lecture of the month is just pure boring, sorry to say.

I was excited two days ago, of moving in to a new room in a new block and the fact that I'm in year 2, not a newcomer anymore. But now it feels exactly the same as before. I can't complain much about my new room. As a matter of fact, it's quite comfortable because I was able to sleep on my bed with my spec while still holding a novel in my hands. I love the fact that I don't have to climb the flight of stairs to reach my room coz my room is just on the ground floor. Apart from the lizard that still lurks around the window panel, I'm quite satisfied. I dread practicals and assignments as usual, who don't? I can't wait finish this semester though. I want to speed things up so that I'm not stuck here which feels like a long torturing time.

New Pics


I Pass!

14th June, 2007

I can’t believe it! I thought I flunked my Maths. It’s unbelievable than I’m able to scrap off a D. I guess I’m pretty lucky not to take supplementary coz I’m really not in the mood to study. There’s a few lecturers I don’t know for the next semester. I hope my schedule is not that full so that I still have time for other activities. In the meantime, there’s the rest of the holiday I can finally enjoy to the full extent. Don’t wanna waste it.

I’m Still Like Me

10th June, 2007

I have not been doing anything as planned so it’s quite a disappointment for me. I have not cleaned my room (just sweep the floor) and it is getting messier. I think I wasted too much time on books and tv. I spent most of my day lying on my bed while reading and most of my night sitting on the sofa watching tv. That sums up 12hrs a day, besides preparing dinner, showering, eating and doing the laundry. If that goes on for the rest of the month, then it is no doubt a waste.

I heard the supplementary exam list is coming out soon. I hope I’m not on the list because I really dread studying now. I’ve already put studying at the very back of my mind and I’m not about to push it forward.

Harry Potter and the God of Death

6th June 2007, 3:20pm

I lost my pendrive recently. I don’t know where I lost it but I remember stuffing it in my bag before going out the other day. Well, the only regretful thing is that it’s a pretty metallic pendrive with a slick design, unless you count loosing my semester 1 stuff as regretful. That’s mean I have to buy a new one again. (shouldn’t have given my old pendrive to my sister)

I’ve been busying myself with Korean Dramas and re-exploring the world of Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix. I have to revise the whole story before the movie hit the big screen so that I can compare between the book and the movie. I can already imagine those scenes while reading the book. Following the movie, one week after that, will be the release of the final Harry Potter book entitled Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows (released worldwide July 21st, I think).

Also, there’s a website called www.dumbledoreisnotdead.com which I haven’t personally surf yet but I do have a bit of a clue as to what it is about. I guess fans are stubborn. They just don’t give up and go for the trouble of looking up clues in the book that suggest Dumbledore’s alive. I donno. I’ll leave that to JK Rowling. After all, she created all this ‘mess’. So she’s like the ‘God’ of the whole plot. If she wants Dumbledore dead, he’s dead. Haha, but I hope the last book will have a good ending. And hopefully no good people die. Cedric died in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Sirius in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and then Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. What worse can happen next? Only ‘God’ knows…
