My 3Cs

Music:Annie Lennox- No More I Love You's Mood: Thinking-bout-what-to-pack

According to the Taiwaneses, 3Cs stand for Computers, Cameras and Cell phones.
Couple of months ago, I've obtained a nice Acer 19 inch wide-screen monitor from dad, which has already satisfied a big part of my daily needs of net surfing and watching downloaded TV Series.
In November on my past birthday, he bought me another super gift where it had quenched the thirst of that shutterbug within me--


A Canon PowerShoot S5 IS!





These are example of pictures taken from the garden, my dad's orchids.


Here's an extreme super macro shot of 2 bugs doing the you-know-what. My camera is literally touching the flower!

And I thought that was the greatest gift of the year. 3 days ago, Shao Pin had bought me the ultimate gift of the year--



I still couldn't believe my eyes. My christmas gift, my dream gift, my dream phone, the Nokia N95!


A shot taken from the phone's 5MP camera. What more can I ask for??

That's an unbelievable feeling. I've never thought of physically owning these stuffs, let alone asking them from someone else. Other than an iPOD, the essential must-have of an average Taiwanese, I've actually own the perfect 3Cs a simple girl could ask for.

To two of the most important men of my life, Thank you soooooooooooo much!

I will follow you...

Music: Yuna Ito- Know-how Mood: feeling flabby




Spotted these 2 very adorable digi icons at Citibank during lunch some time ago. Very good camouflage, I can't even recognize whether they are Malays or Chinese or even Indian~
Wonder how much are they being paid?? ^^

I should be so lucky

Music: Eason Chan-富士山下 Mood: waiting for my hair to dry

I have the best coursemates in MMU HR history,

I have a pair of best-est of the best friends for nearly 11 years,



I have a dad who changes his stubborn and bullish characters because of me; and a mum who would announce that she's a great mum herself where in reality, is really kinda of a super mum...

I have a hot-headed, stingy, self-centered, mean, selfish....but nevertheless, forgiving sister,

I have someone who loves me dearly for the past 3 years and 5 mths to date,


I have a gang of unbelievably cute and fun-loving colleagues,

and not forgetting 2 new family members. Introducing Mikey, the might-be-a-PIG-before-reincarnation (all he does everyday is sleep and eat),


and bluey, the soon-to-be tiger (she pounches at anything basically).


Thank you, everyone, for existing in my life. Life would be a black and white tv set if it weren't because of all of you. I just realized that I feel rich just by looking at all of these. Here's a vow to myself: I'll live my life happily and healthily for not only to myself, but to everyone. By furnishing me with knowledge, experiences and care, you all have made me the person I have become today.

I love all of you. ALL of you.

乐旅行~Exclusive coverage at Nan Yang Siang Pao

Music: Edwin Collins- Never Met A Girl Like You Mood: Extremely the tired


I'm so embarassed to announce here that I haven't got my hands on Ying's album YET.................. I've tried looking at 5 different CD Rama outlets but still I couldn't source it! !Is it just me being unlucky or is it because of the sales of this album is too good that it's sold out everywhere? I DO hope it's the latter reason!

Aaanyway, here's a really late upload of a five-day exclusive coverage by Nan Yang Shang Pao regarding their album. Enjoy reading!

Happy Mooncake Festival~!

Music: Chieli Minucci- Jazz Guitar Mood: Tired tired tired...

It's been 4 years since I last spent my mid-autumn festival at home, with my family. Today feels just like any other day, only with a few lit lanterns with a table-full of dunno-when-to-finish mooncakes. Sis was extra enthusiastic about this day, and purposely brought home few packets of paper tanglongs and candles. Then what have we done to the tanglongs? 3 silly ladies lit them all up, line them around the porch, took a few pictures, waited for the candles to die off and 'sau gong' in 40 mins. I even forgot to look at the moon. Really nothing better to do........-__-

Here's a whole collection of dunno-when-to-finish mooncakes waiting to be downed by us within a month...

















But still, here's to everyone, presenting our pathetic tanglungs:

No panic-ky!

Music: 侧田&吴雨霏-山歌 Mood: dizzy


Someone fainted at my office today. Tis' the first time I see someone colapse before me, tis' the first time I see the staffs react to an emergency situation and tis' the first time I've ever experienced what u call 'no panicky'.


The malay lady was sitting behind me, looking really pale due to diahorrea the day before. There was a muffled 'THUD' and when I turned, she's already playing dead on the ground. My god, I've never seen anyone fainted like that before, she looked like she just DIED; and the amazing part?No one screamed. No one panicked. No one cried. Everyone was so freaking CALM it scares the hell out of me!! Here's the situation:


'THUD' (malay lady fell onto manager whose sitting beside her)


Colleagues sitting around turned and s-l-o-w-l-y stood up.


Manager asked for minyak angin and began rubbing on dead lady. ( okok, she looked DEAD to me)


My colleagues looked on for 10 seconds, and CONTINUED their work.


Others called the secretary for first aid box.


Secretary came in with first aid box in 2 mins.


Colleagues sitting a FEW cubicles away from 'dead body' only started questioning 'what's happening'. (mind you, they r only a few cubicles away and they didn't even know what happened -_-)


Colleagues started to call up the nearest clinics for a doctor and failed to get them around. (1 said they r having meeting and no doctor is available; another 1 said their doctors r attending to patients and they r NOT FREE to come over to look at our poor lady) and did I mention that these clinics r onli a 5- min walk away??


Secretary called for volunters who know first aid and 4 men came in. (at least they knew how to untie her tudung, lift her head up and clear the tightening crowd)


Oh wait. I forgot the most crucial scenario. The lady wasn't moving AT ALL for more than 20 mins and still, no one twitched!!!


They finally decided to drive her to the hospital after someone said that it'll take 25 mins for the ambulance to arrive.


Oh yes, since our new building is only 3 storey high, there wasn't even a lift. So 4 men carried her down the stairs. I wonder what would happen if someone slipped and mrs. dead body rolls her way down the stairs? By the way I felt lucky for her that she's wearing pants today.(I guffawed stupidly at that idiotic thought)


Mrs. dead body finally got into the car and headed to the hospital after lying unconciously on the ground for more than 30 mins. By then, she was already in high fever and shivering all over.


and no one twitched. And then everyone went back to their routine tasks as if nothing happened.


How could everyone remained so freakingly calm????

Mr. stripped- shirt sat back down and surf the net for useful numbers coz no one was even sure of the emergency numbers. (FYI, it's 994 or call your respective hospitals that keeps your record)


Mrs. dead body lies unconcious on the ground, i ended up taking a full view picture of the secretary's butt.


4 strong men lifted Mrs. dead body and claimed that she was amazingly heavy. (mind you, she's even a few cm shorter than me; which shows that dead/unconcious ppl really weights 2 times more of their usual weight)

Moral of the story?

1) Forget about calling the nearest clinic for help, they r a *$&*#$)#%& useless bunch.
2) Wear pants as often as possible. you'll never know how it'll save you.

Coincidence

Music: 娃娃- shang-ri La Mood: blue....

Dad told us over dinner how both of us got our names. He said that he wanted a child with a pure heart and soul, so he named me '洁华', meaning as pure as the flower('flower' has a similar pronounciation as the 'hua' in my name). As for my sis, when my mum went for the ultrasonic scan, they were surprised to catch very strong heartbeatings from my sis, just like a boy. My parent once knew this lady called '佩仪' ,who has a very jovial characteristic. Well, my granny told dad that she doesn't like the 'jie' in my name, so instead of naming her '洁仪’like what siblings would have, dad named her '佩仪’，exactly like that jolly lady's name.

My sis hated her name, and so am I. She hated hers coz the whole world has her name, be it her classmate, schoolmate or my collegue and classmates will share the same name as her, making her sound so plain and 'common'. Whereas I would have a name so unique that most friends would make fun of it, calling me a ...flower. I have some friends who would call me ah hua, means 'flower' in chinese, ‘阿花’literally. why?? coz 洁华 sounded so much like 菊花！ugggghhh....so ah lian!! That's y i rather intro myself as 'Kit' instead of 'jie hua' to most people now, my ready-made- modern-sounding-none-existent christian name hehee...

Ok back to the dinner conversation which brings us back to my granny again. Do u know what she wanted to name both of us initially? I'll be a ‘菲菲’and my sis '佩佩’.Dad totally rejected the idea coz at that time, there was some famous prostitute singers that were called, yes, exactly fei fei and pei pei. That's y he was so against granny's suggestion of giving us prostitutes' names ^^.

y 'Coincidence'? To my fellow ex Melaka Wings Cafe singers and friends, they will catch this joke totally... to all blurheads, Fei Fei is one of the Wings Cafe's singer, and Pei Pei is one of their bartender, a very 'handsome' tomboy who looked like JJ Lin Jun Jie. They were once so close to each other that many of us actually thought there's something fishy about their 'friendship'.

How coincide is THAT!!!

No. 7!

Music: N/A Mood: Typing with 1 hand, talking on the phone with another


It's out! It's finally out! If it wasn't the reason that I need to be at work for the walk-in interview, I seriously will be crazy enough to camp outside KLCC at 3am to get that autographed copy which is worth RM235~ Anyway, ma got it for me after dropping me at work, calling me up at around 9am from Kinokuniya.


'Hwa, I've bought the book already lah!'

'Reallllyyy????? yay!!!!!!' ( a loud shriek from meself, couldn't be bothered of what my collegues were thinking)


'There's this huge feather pen coming together with the book too'


'Realllyy???? like those to write on parchments???? Oh my gawd that's so cool!!'


'I feel stupid walking around with the huge feather okay??!?' (FYI, her office is only a 10- min- walk frm KLCC ^^)


'thank u thank u thank u thank u.....'


Here's a glimps of the gigantic feather pen with my darling book~~

The Seven Wonders!

Paris, the big fat liar (on Larry King Live)

Music: Rod Stewart- Taking a chance on love Mood: Gan Zheong! (my first day at work tmr!)


Okay I know I really hated her, so what if I purposely downloaded and watched the entire 'Paris Hilton on Larry King Live' on youtube? Seriously, it was like watching a kid saying no to stealing the chocolate cake when he has chocolate smeared around his face and hands. Anyway, here are several parts that really amuses me and the rest of Paris Hilton Haters population around the globe.





LK= Larry King, P: Paris Hilton



On Drugs

LK: Ever taken drugs?


P: NO.
(whoa~! I thought i heard a thunderous choking sound from millions of viewers)


LK: Did you hang around with people who did those things?


P: Yeah I know people who have.


LK: Why didn'y you put a stop to this earlier and said I've never used drugs and I don't drink?


P: I just think when you do that you'll put more attention to something...when something's not true, I just don't pay attention to it coz I know my friends and family know the true me and that's really matters to me, and I feel, like, by defending yourself when things are untrue, all these doings will make people talk about it more.



LK: But in today's world, Paris, no comment is yes, don't you think so? The media is the message.



(She looked uncomfortable as she didn't see that coming~)

P: er...I just...I don't know...(3 seconds silence) people just make up stories and there's nothing I can do about it and I just don;t like to response.



LK: But the thing is you realize of course that one of the problem is this, and you've let it continue.



P: Yeah I know how I am so that's fine.

(damn that was a really idiotic blonde answer.)




Were those lollipops??



On her Attention Deficit Disorder(ADD)

LK: How did ADD affect you while in jail?



P: erm...well...it affects you and it's difficult to pay attention to things and... I don't know, it's something I've dealt with in my whole life... (sounded helpless)



LK: (cuts in) do you had ADD and you lose concerntration?



P: Yeah.



LK: and you've had it since you were a kid?



P: yeah. since I was like, 12. (it's like she Chin Chai added that on)



LK: So you had to be tougher in situations when you were like, entrapped?



P: Yeah, but I've learned to deal with it.



LK: So how did this affect you in business?



P: no.



LK: television?



P: no.



LK: singing?



P: no. I'm doing fine everywhere.

(I really do feel like puking)



On claustrophobia

P: Well I've suffered from claustrophobia my entire life and I was having severe panic attacks.

(TMD, so you don't suffer from this while on your helicopters or limos?



LK: How did you cure the claustrophobia?



P: I just...had to deal with it. So I've meditated, read letters, journals, I just close my eyes and literally pretend that I'm somewhere else, imagining that I'm at some special place.



LK: are you cured?



P: on claustrophobia?



LK: I mean, you must be!



P: now that I'm out of there, yeah~!

(OMG, that was DUMB!)

On reading the Holy Bible (my favourite part!!!)

LK: you were spotted I think holding a Bible or something, so did you take one with you?

P: we were not allowed to bring one in so I've ordered one from the commissary list.

LK: you were not allowed to bring books in?

P: you can't bring anything in.

LK: are you a religious person?

P: I've always been religious...I've been to Catholic School when I was a child. (what does that has to do with being religious -__-)

LK:So you read the Bible when you were in jail?

P: yes.

LK: what's your favourite Bible passage?

P: ........ (fumbles around and looked away and a few seconds of awkward silence) I don't have a favourite.

(now that's worth my time watching this!)

Paris is HOLY.

Dear Pa...

Music: Aiko-シアワセ Mood: Heaty

Dear Pa,

You have always given me an impression of a conservative, hot tempered and a very male chauvinist kind of father.

I have never been fond of you since young, I have even secretly thought of having other people's dad as my own dad, and not you.

I have always hated you for the fact that you never admit your mistakes, and you thought that you will always make the right decision, speak the right language and do the right things- thanks for being such a 'male chauvinist'; that's why I'm amazed that how ma can never erupt.

I hated you for beating me up till this day, my latest scar would be an indistinct scratch mark on my left arm, that was during the third day of CNY early this year. Yes, during CNY.

When we are in a fight, you never failed to bring up ancient stories of how bad I am academically, no matter how far away that topic is from whatever we are fighting for.

No matter how healthy my hobby was, you will never allow me to participate in any form of Saturday school curricular, like the school band(too much time will be wasted on music for nothing), the chinese orchestra (you will not be able to manage any chinese instruments)or tae-kwon-do (girls shouldn't participate in these kinds of cho-loh (in hokkien) sports).

We have shared the same nose, same lips and same temper- sizzling HOT. On a bad hair day, you will always scream and scream and scream and scream at me. We were notoriously famous for screaming and arguing at each other in our quiet neighbourhood, at least trice a week.

That's why I have always hated you.

Maybe I have been in Melacca for a tad too long, or maybe there's really been changes in you that I hadn't been able to notice untill...recently.

There's been much less screaming and fighting now, which we always do during dinner.


I have noticed a much more patient you lately, where you seemed to talk at a slower pace and shared a piece of your mind with me and Pui Yee, which you never do.


During the final two months in Melacca, I'm surprised that you started calling me daily to make sure that I'm eating healthily, which is normally what ma will only do.

There was one Sunday afternoon, we were at the living room reading newspapers, minding our own businesses. Out of the blue, I just looked up from my papers and gazed at you for a few seconds...pa, your hair's been so much more silvery now, and you have been exposed under the sun for too long,that you looked so unhealthily tanned and wrinkled. I never knew, till that moment, that you are actually...getting older.

Three nights ago, when I received my final exam results, I happily went downstairs to tell you and ma about the good news. Ma continued watching the tv program and didn't respond, but you congratulated me. I have extended my Degree for a year and I knew that you and ma felt embarrassed when relatives started asking you whether have I graduated from Uni or not. I'm so glad this has finally ended. Suddenly, there was a new tv commercial showing a scene where a daughter has finally graduated and said to her aged dad,' pa, I've graduated!', in her graduation robe. I couldn't take it any longer... my nose turned sour and I ran back upstairs and cried on my bed and to Pui Yee.

Though you have given me some bitter childhood memories, nevertheless, I forgive you for what you have done. I'm grateful for what you have been trying to do lately, like sitting down and talking to me about my health, my education and my future. You have brought me and Pui Yee a car each lately; You have asked me whether I wanted to pursue my masters at Australia, and you would reserve some money for me if I ever decide to do it.

That is why I will learn to love you more unconditionably.

Thanks for everything and Happy Father's Day, pa~

A puzzling surprise

Music: Chick Corea-Fly me to the moon Mood: heaty

I'm never lucky at lucky draws, sms contests, caption contests or radio call-ins. As far as I can remember, I've only won a lousy thin paperback story book through 3M magazine (it's a mag for kids fyi, for those who understand chinese, it's called 3M画报) when I was eight and a homerun party invitation at JB through Hitz.Fm's Prado Cruises games near MMU. That's ALL.

Aaaanyway, I'm quite surprised to receive a package addressing to me today. In the midst of wondering who could've send something to me, I've noticed there was several logos indicating the package was from Gempak/ Comic King. Then, I suddenly recalled that I've sent several smses to their 'CNY giveaway sms competition' during Feb. Sure enough, it was a really pleasant surprise after I tore open the package.



A full-coloured 125-page character guide book from my favourite Comic King cartoonist!





Thank you thank you thank you thank you~~ that makes meself 3 times luckier ^^

Who will be the next American Idol Judge??

It's no surprise that the Network is considering her since she is the most overexposed celebrity around now.

Britney Timeline

A younger Britney:



Britney during her heydays:

The marriage that wrecked her life:

After the divorce in November 2006, another skank joined in to add poison to her meltdown:

Paris teaching her how to pose for upskirt photos*__*

Wild partying habits:



After realising she does not have enough cash or credit card to stay in the hotel, she approached 2 strangers who loaned her this bikini.How sad can that be?

Eating like nobody's business



Then she started to ki siao:


there's even a doll version of her..


She Ki Siao even more by hitting the paparazzi's car with an umbrella


Later on, she had a raunchy 14-min performance at San Diego, lip-synched on five of her old tracks, repeating the same moves as ever and who, to top it all, was dressed like a slut.



Now, Britney can be spotted and photographed everyday, everywhere sporting different wigs and head gears:

So...do you look forward to American Idol 7??
