Art?

I made this today...

It didn't take much time to construct the shape but the colouring was a long process...

Haha, i know i have better things to do but sometimes u just get the urge to do something with no reason...

btw, Happy Merdeka everyone. =)

another scary show

I realized that this year i'm really into horror movies...
Even though i'm such a chicken during the show coz i cover my eyes when i think something scary is about to happen,
But it's the fear factor that makes me go back for more...

haha watched 'Mirrors' yesterday...
my sis felt that it wasn't as scary as 'The Orphanage'
But i thought some scenes were damn scary...
It's not that the ghosts look scary, but its the suspense of not knowing when they will POP out
and scare the shit out of you...

'Mirrors' is quite a good movie, if ur a fan of horror, or the tv series '24' (coz d lead actor is Kiefer Sutherland) then go watch it..

Be prepared though... I must admit... after coming back from the show, i felt a little uncomfortable looking in the mirror hahaha...

bye August

August is a special month...

I like it partly becoz of my b'day... Oh and then there's the one week break...
It's a good time of the year...

Not too early, I usually prefer the second half of the year coz that's the time when we have adapted to things...

But also not too late... means there is still time to cancel things off our '2008 to do' list...

can't believe August will be over just like that...
another 11 months till the next one... =)

Final Slam here!

i can't believe i call myself a tennis player and a tennis fan...

been so busy i didn't realize the last grand slam of the year had started this week!

Yes! Ths U.S. Open is here...

Unfortunately it may have been overshadowed by the Olympic games this year...

Didn't hear much about it...

Usually b4 a Grand Slam, I will download the singles draws to review

then make my predictions...

But now i don't even know the ranking of the players already...

Maria is M.I.A

Anyway, just based on current form (without reference to the draw, coz i didn't see it)

i think Dinara Safina has a great chance of doing well coz Sharapova is not in the tournament (injured), both Ivanovic and Jankovic have been suffering from injury...

as for the Williams sister, i think they won't go beyond the quarter finals.... it's my opinion...

expect a lot of upsets with the women seeds coz there r a lot of young, dangerous lower ranked players now...



As for the men's side, Nadal is sooooooooooooooo hot right now,
I would be an idiot if i didn't pick him as the favourite... he is the new world no.1, the current man to beat...

Djokovic might pull of a surprise again like how he won the Australian Open in Jan, he is good on hard courts...

Federer is just scarily unpredictable right now... but he IS a great multi gram slam winning champion... so we can never count him out...

Andy Roddick & James Blake will have massive home support, but i don't think that's enough to bring them to the title...

I don't think i'll get to watch many matches but i will definitely keep track of the results! =)

back to college life

haih... usually i don't post at night but tonight is my last night of hols...

feeling a little sad... coz this week i had some good times with friends n family.
this is probably one of my better holidays...

oh well... life goes on and the world will turn whether ur ready or not...

feeling worried too...
coz once i get back to college,
it will be LOTS of work, tests and also an oral presentation...

not to mention that i didn't complete my chemistry homework,
and didn't do some other research work...
what to do? holiday reli got NO mood mar...

reality is gonna hit me hard soon... =(
all i can do now is to brace myself for impact!

I realized...

..that I was so naive.

I thought I was wise, I thought I knew what I wanted in life.
I can't believe I ignored all those signs.
I only chose to SEE what I WANTED TO SEE...

But all of a sudden, it's like I just woke up and things are so clear to me now.

Guess I really didn't know what's best for me...
Guess I was blinded by my own thoughts...

But the important thing is NOW I KNOW.
And it's NEVER too late...

this is NOT an EMO post, i just feel lucky that i WOKE UP...
In fact, I feel so much better now.
I feel free
I feel relieved
I feel happiness

This week of holidays really helped me clear my head.
Life is never easy, but at least we never stop learning from it...
So i guess that means we can only get better right? =)

Exercise 2 Da Max!

today didn't start well, the rain ruined our plans of playing tennis at astaka in the morning,
but humans r flexible, so there is always a Plan B...

the usual gang of Jit Teng, Yu Xuan n I (plus Lok Mun who was on hols) went to Yu Xuan's place with the intention to play squash... but we couldn't find the ball!

that tiny, rounded, black coloured friend just didn't wanted to show its face...

ok................ so change of plans AGAIN...

went to play badminton at Tmn Megah... it was still raining btw...

after that went to buy squash ball, then went back to Yu Xuan's place to play...

then went 4 lunch at '6 to 10 Grill', i went home to look 4 the key card for the Casa Tropicana condo but couldn't find it... turns out it was not at home...

so swt!!! luckily still could enter the condo to play tennis in the evening........

Lok Mun got to try squash n tennis for the first time today (i think)... i hope he enjoyed it...

Today's lesson?
Things don't always go the way you want them to, but at the end of the day, we somehow work it out one way or the other...

My legs r sore from the hours of running, n every now and then my left arm and both my calves cramp up when i stretch it too much... haha it's just as the saying goes:
"No pain, no gain!"

P.S. Zhi Shan i hope u get well soon, then u can join us next time! =)

Disturbingly Good

just saw the video for Rihanna's new single 'Disturbia'

at first i thought this song was alright,
but after watching the video i actually like it so much more...

Rihanna just keeps getting better n better... she's just so cool n hot!
i have never liked all the songs by one artist so much other than Kylie of course...

Disturbia is her latest No.1 hit in the U.S.

Enjoy =)

more green hehehe

u have probably guessed by now that green is my favourite colour...

not all shades though...

i specifically like "bright dark green" or u can call it neon green but darker...

i don't really like light green, but i also don't like weird shades of dark green...

and i hate turquoise.... i call this colour the pretender green...

all this talk about green haha can be confusing...
what i reli want to say is that i've changed certain colours of this blog... =)

Wall-e!

helo. went for a gathering today at Mid Valley, i wouldn't say it's a S5 gathering coz there were other ppl... not reli sure who some of them were, but we're all linked somehow, either through S5 or CHS... so it's like an extended family haha =)

anyway, we went to watch WallE... it was a nice show, light and easy to enjoy... with a few touching moments and a whole lot of laughter...
i reli liked how Eve destroyed things with her laser blaster thingy, particularly the scene where she blew up a few ships on Earth....so cool! i wished i had one....

went for luch at YoSushi (OMG i can't remember if this is the right name)... let's see, how should i say this..........
OK, i don't recommend eating there. the food is overpriced, the servings are SMALL, and there is no set meal.... in other words, there is no value for money...

oh, we also went bowling... i'm not too bad hehe... i like the glow in the dark feel...

today was fun... but i have to start getting some work done...
still wanna watch more movies though... The Dark Knight and Mirrors... will keep u updated=)

HoLiDaY

after just 5 weeks of college, i'm having a one week break... i'm not complaining... in fact, i don't mind if i get more hehe...

the holidays couldn't come at a better time... i need to get away from Sunway for a while to get something off my mind...

this week i intend to just relax & forget about what was bothering me...

have to study for a test though... oh, and then there's the ton of homework but never mind, at least i get to wake up later in the morning...

went for dinner with pbsm friends at ss2 yesterday... it was nice to meet up with the gang... everyone seems to be doing ok...take care guys =)

today going to play tennis if it doesn't rain... i realised that recently i'm playing the best tennis of my life... even though i don't play often, but i seem to be getting a good rhythm on my serve, and i'm producing some killer angles with my backhand... i still need to control my forehand a bit, it tends to get a bit wild... but other than that, i feel good... i'm healthy & injury free at the moment...

oh and this week i wanna go watch movies!!! CAN U BELIEVE that i haven't watch The Dark Knight yet? i know... i'm so outdated right! i'm probably the only 18 year old that hasn't watch it yet.... i also wanna watch Wall-E... looks like a nice show with a little bit of robot romance haha...

anyone wanna go watch movie with me SMS me ok? i'm free almost everyday this week... but now school holidays sure hard to get tickets wan... see how lah =)

letting go

It's been the longest winter without you I didn't know where to turn to

See somehow I can't forget you After all that we've been through

Going coming thought I heard a knock Who's there no one

Thinking that I deserve it Now I realise that I really didn't know

If you didn't notice you mean everything Quickly I'm learning to love again

All I know is I'ma be ok

Thought I couldn't live without you It's gonna hurt when it heals too

It'll all get better in time

And even though I really love you I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to

It'll all get better in time

I couldn't turn on the TV Without something there to remind me

Was it all that easy To just put aside your feelings

If I'm dreaming don't wanna laugh Hurt my feelings but that's the path I believe in

And I know that time will heal it

If you didn't notice boy you meant everything Quickly I'm learning to love again

All I know is I'ma be ok

Thought I couldn't live without you It's gonna hurt when it heals too

It'll all get better in time

And even though I really love you I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to

It'll all get better in time

Since there's no more you and me It's time I let you go

So I can be free And live my life how it should be

No matter how hard it is I'll be fine without you

Yes I will

Thought I couldn't live without you It's gonna hurt when it heals too

It'll all get better in time

And even though I really love you I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to

It'll all get better in time

Thought I couldn't live without you It's gonna hurt when it heals too

It'll all get better in time

And even though I really love you I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to

It'll all get better in time

another year older...

...but i'm not sure if i'm any wiser hahaha. this year's birthday was good becoz it was a Saturday, so i got to do more things and have more fun over the weekend...

had lots of pretty good meals, i feel lucky really to have all that i have now...

sometimes we don't cherish what we have... instead we always look at what we want...
so i'm trying to be content with my life... not ask for too much...



but there's still something missing... something that i have been wanting to fill for quite some time now... this is something money can't buy...



well i guess what's meant to be will be... i just have to be patient and hold on to my faith...
if there's one thing i learnt this past year, it is that the more u want something, the more it seems to fade away from u....

note: beware, as u can see i have a tendency towards violence

my family doesn't really enjoy eating too much cake so we always get a mini one just for the sake of birthday tradition... oh and my sister is not Punjabi, it's just a traditional costume she wore for Sunway University College's International Student Carnival...

thanks again everyone for your wishes... i appreciate it very much =)

Eight Eight Eight

I watched the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics last night and i must admit it was spectacular! At first i thought it would be very lame and corny, but to my surprise it was a wonderful masterpiece...

the creators of the show evidently put in a lot of planning and hard work, and the technology that was in use was nothing short of impressive...i mean did u see how they played with the lights? it really was a visual feast for the eyes....

China really showed the world what they are capable of doing, that they too can produce Quality... speaking of the Q letter word, i have to mention the Quantity as well.... the number of performers in the Bird's Nest was enormous.... China can conquer the world with it's population... no doubt about that...

now let the sports begin!!!

KYLIEX2008 successfully completed

It's been 3 months since the opening of KylieX2008 in Paris on May 6, and this week Kylie's fantastic tour comes to an end.

From Kylie.com :

After 53 dazzling shows in 21 countries, reaching a combined audience of over half a million fans, Kylie's biggest, most lavish and critically acclaimed show to date, KYLIEX2008, reached its European climax on Monday night with the last of seven sold out dates at London's o2 Arena in Greenwich.

It's clear to see why the show has been such a big hit with fans and critics alike. With pioneering graphic staging and theatrical lighting, 14 dancers and acrobats, a nine piece band including a three strong brass section, and 8 stunning costumes from master designer Jean Paul Gaultier, Kylie presented an eclectic mix of classics and tracks from her current 'X' album.

Congrats Kylie! I can't wait to see what ur gonna do next... U truly are a inspiration to me =)

finally..

..a sigh of relief...

after what seemed like an eternity things r finally normal again....

the problem with the slow connection and messenger just disappeared overnight and everything seems to work fine now so i'll keep my fingers crossed....

after taking today's maths topic test (quite easy) i can breathe a little easier for the rest of the week..

i look forward to the Olympics... esp. with tennis & badminton... and also the opening ceremony... should be cool with all the fireworks and stuff...

i realised that i've been creating so much negativity around myself lately... if i were to explain this in terms of chemistry, i'm attracting a lot of electrons into my system... so i need to release them to other molecules so that i'll be positively charged by having more protons than electrons...

ok now i'm just saying nonsense.... i feel a little unstable.... (haha that's another term used in chemistry) kind of like crazy in your face mad man crazy...

maybe it's becoz i'm happier now that the stress is reduced... endorphin is flooding my system...

ok now that's just exaggeration...

CONCLUSION:
i'm not happy.... it's just that i'm not sad...
i'm trying to make myself think that i'm happy.... but i'm definitely not sad....

get it?

blah...

oh god... the problem with the internet is still not solved... no idea what's wrong... can't log in to messenger...

college life hasn't change much this past week, but i'm glad that the Malaysian Studies presentation is over...

had my first topic test today for Chemistry.... some questions were quite tough but i think i did alright... hopefully (gulp...) Another test this wednesday for maths.... so can chill a bit today....

oh n i realised English is so much tougher of a subject now... we hav to apply critical thinking into our writing.... and for the essays we even need to add in a complete bibliography.... the format is troublesome.... so hard to remember....

i pretty much hav a dull life now.... just do homework and study.... i need to hav some fun man...
i feel bored.....
