I can't believe how time flies really fast. We're entering into yet another remarkable month. Hope it will be a remarkable one for me (praying really hard, squeezing my eyes really tight, and filling my heart with aja aja fighting). Without this sounding like a new year resolution, which I never bother to make each year; what I want for August is to really lead a meaningful existence and conquer myself with the sweetness of success (at every turn I hope). Heheh... Hope my 2-cents inspirations will be infectious to anyone reading this too. What better ways could it be than to start a new month with high spirits... Always better to set it high because when you lose some steam midway, there's still the remaining to torch the flame.

Somehow this reminds me of Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror'. Even after his death, people will always remember him. Just now in the afternoon, I was at the cd shop and it was playing the music video of him dancing. There was a crowd gathering, obviously captivated by those talents of his. Sometimes I wonder how is it possible for one man to had that much capacity to stop the time and create such a great impact on so many people around the world. But then again, MJ is special and unique in his own ways. But too bad (and sad too)... he had body dysmorphic disorder. I know this difficult psychological term because Yy supply me. Hahha.. Met with her just now in the evening to pass my photo and some goodies for Khana in Cambodia. Ah.. Cambodia... really miss my friend there and the environment; which is like air and water if I were to compare Spore with Cambodia. 

Anyway, listen to the 'man in the mirror' if you are down. Really a mood lifter.

I'm Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right . . .
 
I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change

Went with Hd to Ramen Ten on Friday. Did lots of catching up and of course get to hear about Hd's exciting graduation day. Gosh, I couldnt wait for mine too.

Hd had her camera clicking away for most of the day. I like the mirror image photos but I haven get them from her.


 
Collage completed!! Finally. I was lazy for awhile and hooked up on my korean drama. A bit messy now when I look at this again.

It has been quite a while since I've posted here. I am not that busy actually but I find my hands full with helping out my mum at the stall (without being paid); going KL again for a change in environment and committing some time with my grandmother who call me almost everyday to come down to her house, and doing some research on breast cancer. All in all, maybe it's the guilty factor because I don't spend enough time with my family, especially my grandmother, once the semester starts. That's why I push up all my priorities to be with her during the school break and sleepover at her house.

I'm getting very sappy here but I realized that the older you become the more lonely and dependable you are. Like the last time I accompanied her to the polyclinic, I'm glad I was there because I could hold my grandmother's hand, take care of her and inquire about her health. The doctor, I find him inappropriate considering that he was consulting an elderly but spoke like a bullet train and only in English. Not communicating in the mother tongue of my grandmother and finding very difficult to follow him myself, how could that even be a consultation? So, the next time I brought my grandmother to the polyclinic, I specifically asked the receptionist for a doctor who could speak Malay. The doctor was better the second time I accompanied her.

Also went KL for a week, a short break I must say. I like going KL because I get to do the planning; where to stay, where to go, drawing maps on places I'm interested to go, and having a list of food I want to eat. I'm glad my other cousins went down to my grandmother's place when I was in KL. KL is a food haven because there are many foodstuffs in Spore that is not halal, is halal there. Besides, food is cheap. My father likes the kampung style food there, especially the urap (traditional salad originated from Indonesia I think) and the barbecued stingray at Jln Masjid India.

What I like about KL is the unorderly manner of the city. Ok, I must be mad.. but I'm appreciating the fact that the pavement tiles are not even like Spore; there's some stones jutting out and some broken. The fact that there are an ecclectic mix of shophouses and modern buildings at their 'Orchard Road', (the Bukit Bintang area), and that the trains are a total madness to take because they are owned by three different companies and therefore the railway tracks are not connected. What I mean is that to change train, say from jurong east to go to orchard is not merely just alighting at raffles place, crossover and hopping on to the train that is going on the opposite direction; it means going out of the station itself and walking quite a distance (5-7mins) to another train station owned by another company, which then brings u to ur destinated place. There is no central station such as raffles place which connect all the railway tracks owned by the 3 companies. The train fares are paid separately too. So, it's actually more expensive to take the train when you have four people. The taxi is a more economical choice but be careful though about taxi drivers who do not follow the taxi meter.  I loved the orderly life but sometimes you get bored so a change is needed I guess. We stayed at Melia Hotel which is conveniently located at Bukit Bintang and a great retreat for an orderly 'existence' after witnessing the landscape and taking the trains.

Until the next posting, congratulations to all my friends who had graduated. I'm in the midst of writing my resume and cover letter too. Got to go... my mum asking me to go to the market with her.
