happy birthday ~ Beruang!

Yay! its your birthday!



sorry there wasn't a big party! (everyone's pocket's is empty right now!)


hope you like the cake!

Sunday

you bully!

mommy and sister bullied me!!

it started off just a normal conversation that veered towards bodies's 'eccentricities' like moles and the likes. i just happen to mention casually that i have a 'little' 'eccentricity' myself and they forcefully bully me to show it to them. i was laughing and crying at the same time and to top it all when i finally gave up and showed it sister shriek like a banshee and covered her face with her hands as if she saw a monster or something! its not that bad! warrrrgh! cries, cries!

not only that, mommy jokingly says that if we died and our faces were unrecognizable it'd be easy to identify us by our deformed body. YES, DEFORMED!

and yes, that means dear sister also have eccentricity of her own! and she tried to show me! nooooo! i don't want to see these kind of things! and mommy is one to talk about deforms ... the famous horned devil! (so what if she already had it surgically removed!)

bullies!

Saturday

Goodbye. Farewell.

Uahhh! Big Shocking News!

just kiddin, seriously it was a surprise! it not exactly news that shana and missy ordi left the org and last nite was their farewell do. although i had been sick for the past 3 days, i managed to drag myself out of bed and dressed up for it. things you do for friendship.hmpf.

anyways, the big shocking news was juls is also leaving! (already left?) details are sketchy and most people only found out last nite! i know my guys didn't know anything either.

back to the do. i of course came late but i was in time for the speeches ... and dear missy did cry in the end despite her declaration she won't. nya~ha~ha! its alright girl, its just us, we won't published them pictures in the news (maybe). anyway, all the best, all the best! you got haw, you don't need nothing else (except food, and clothing and ... and..etc) i'm sure you guys would do great things!

shana's speech was very light and her new life seemed to be real good! she didn't cry (too bad). juls's was even shorter. i had a chat with him awhile seemed he too, just like missy and haw is really leaving it to the wind to chart their course. how romantic, i'm envious.

whatever it may be, gambatte yo!

new year resolution 2008


its not mine, but i wanted to have it written down somewhere so that they couldn't chicken out from it.

i heard it straight from them this morning! otto and noyod has confirmed that their new year resolution is to quit smoking!

let's see how looong that resolution remains!

Monday

NIGHTMARE!

geez! isn't the devil sposed to be gorgeous as sin and so cool as to tempt you over his side? (like the ones in manga dammit! you know, sword? jio? ororon? black flames?) what's up with the scary and ugly unnamed devil? and the associates were lame! a vengeful bitch advocate, and a stupid ass slave.

definitely not a nice~nice dream. so, i think i pissed off the vengeful bitch, but all i could remember was her saying something like ... not even your bones will be left (in scary echoing tone) .... me of course didn't take that seriously until she goes and shower my house with fire storm.

i say my house but its not really, i don't know whose is it but i was staying there and i'm also still puzzled about a kid and a girl that was in the house with me. never saw them before in my life and i had to scramble all over to keep them from hurts. in real life i don't think 'me' be nice like that.

well after running around the house trying the avoid death, at one point, we hid under the bed while the house rattling and tumbling down around us so i guess its not such a great idea after all to hide under there. so we ran out to the yard and of course that's where the vengeful bitch and nasty stupidass associate caught us.

now, here's where it gets really weird, the dumb ass guys whips out a wicked (looks really cool) knife and suddenly the ugly devil appeared snickering at us. and of course the bitch was there too.

the ugly devil suddenly slashed the kid and the girl but nothing happen, he was really showing off now, trying to frightened them. i think maybe he's actually stupid too cos suddenly he gave the knife to the kid. smart kid threw the knife to me and i started stabbing them. AHAHAH i am strong and it was really satisfying to stab stab stab them. and they disintegrate into black smoke with moaning and howling. phew!

end of nightmare. sounds just like a bad halloween movie right? i was in a bad mood until i got on the net and saw a new manhwa up for reads. ehehe.


Saturday

Imperial Delight

this is my first photo in year 2008!
heh heh, of course it'll be bout food! what else?


despite its tacky restaurant name, the food here is great! the prices on the menu is quite reasonable. i'm so in love with the yam roll. just to warn you, they have some quite interesting selection in the menu. i.e. ~ la mian braise meat in lan chow style, erm ... do you see wat i mean?



anyway, just a note, mr. porky is available.

Wednesday

2008 has arrived!

welcome!

so whats your new year resolution ? i think i didn't have one in 2007, so i think i must have double resolutions for this year..... what its gonna be?

for one thing, i want to be a kind person, but having said that its so not me! so that's just rediculous so mebbe i should say that i wanna be kin~der . hows that? i'll do by best. but make a note - i said kinder not friendlier.

no 2, i want to be a better photographer ~ translated, i want alpha a700. ehehehe.

seriously, all around i want to be more spiritually, mentally and physically. but that does not mean i want to wear bigger size clothes, i'm fine with that as it is ( although i've been putting on pounds lately ...scary!!!) and i promise this time to update my blog .... monthly! ehehehe.

now, i want to talk a bit about 2007, just a bit okay! since i've been blogging all over the place its kinda tiring to update all of em, but ya know theres some gripe that i just don't want certainn someone someone to see but in the end i just can't keep up! so i'm gonna be dumping stuff in here from my other blogs .. sort of a ....migration..yup!

in the meantime 2007 highlights ....

my department has a new HOD. she's nice and all that, i dunno too much about her though, since we don't talk a lot and don't have much work together. i sometimes feel that otto and i don't really belong in the MCD since we have little to do with their function and vice versa. but its all good, don't mind it so much.

We also have a new assistant HOD, introducing ...... Gaban! now, she and i gets along. well, i think so ... she's the one who has to suffer bitchy me. anyway i think she's kewl.

zarina came back!

noredah transferrred to MD

the IT team expanded. welcome Yo in the house! opps, oh yeah - she jumped ship and went to the 'other side' ! nah, just kidding, she's with SPS now. oh and there Stan! he's kewl too. then theres some other people, but i don't know them, so whatever! anyhow the whole team moved to SPS so we have the studio to ourselves ..no wait .. theres still ... that guy. drat.

these people left the building ...

the melissas .... cham and leong! can you believe it! its lonely all by myself ... wait a minute, oh yeah theres the new Melissa in IT also a designer, but web. umm, welcome.

and shana too!

hazmilah left and has a lodge of her own. how kewl is that!

oh Apiau is PREGNANT! way to go mommy!

OH yeah, CKK stepped down. now we have D. Masidi. how's that gonna turned out?

Otto, Yahya and Charles got married!! Uwah ...scary! ...i mean congrats!

theres more i know, i just can't put it together in my brain right now.

so farewell 2007!

breaking the mOnOtOne

Gah!

Its over! the break is over!
as usual deal for me on year end break is just sleep, eat, sleep, tv, sleep, surfing net and yeah sleep. it was really nice. bliss. this time i had 13 days to do all the things listed above, so i had some spare time to do a little shopping, hanging out with friends. BUT its not as fun as it could be if i had some money ... i am pretty damn broke! its no fun! no fun! arggghhh!

FLICKR

well, although i had a LOT of time, i just didn't feel like flickring ... i didn't have anything that i wanted to post, although i was browsing thru all my contact's photos i didn't leave comments. this lassitude is all encompassing .... mebbe its to make up for all the rush hours throughout the year... uhuhu. excuses, excuses ...

PHOTOGRAPHY

notice the activities listed above did not include photography ... i dunno ... i'm kinda hung up on the a700 so i'm not in the mood for photography much ...emm .. at all. and normally the Mr. and i would take off to some place and do a shoot, but this year i just don't feel like it. ...

STOCK PHOTO

well, talking bout photography, someone from stockphoto invited me to contribute to their website resource. i've thought about this before and i guess it wouldn't hurt to submit some photos that i have lying about. mebbe i'll even submit to other stock photo websites.

TWILIGHT ZONE

Hell. don't know how i can go to work, seemed like my sleeping and waking hours got screwed up and toggled. i'd be awake all night and nap during the day! what am i? an owl? and the sunlight hurts my eyess! it really does, i don't wanna go outside ... maybe .... i'm a vampire? i have to start drinking blood now? i heard its good for the skin. hmmm....

happy new year all!
all the best for year 2008 wave goodbye to 2007,

'i must fight against myself
the sun sets and a new day comes
repeating is one change
don't avert eyes from differences
your nerve and soul to the limit go forward now'

Friday

Mitabang Homestay Home Cooking!




not really a vegetable lover but after having some of these yummies i think i can make it as a vegetarian after all~ at least for a day! (im a seafood and meat lover after all! nya~nya!)

this is my fourth time sampling mitabang homestay's home cooking. i visited their homestay twice and last year and this time we ( organiser and officials of 4M Kiulu challenge ) were treated to lunch by them ; 0

the above in clockwise are rebung ( not sure : p ) pineapple shoot and nasi himpit ( rice with filling ~ potato, yams etc) below is fish ( im not sure how it was cook ...) but its really good!

go!go! have a try !

unidentified chronicles

being the timekeeper for 4M is not exactly the 'most' challenging job assignment i've had. in fact it involves a lot of waiting.... and waiting. luckily this time around i'm assigned to 'look after' the student volunteers so i had some fun bullying them. ehehe.

i got bored nuff to have spotted this unidentified creature. so i shot it. anyone knows what insect this is? its actually very tiny and i had to spend some time on this cos i didn't bring my macro lenses. it just shed its skin. gross!!

Thursday

4M kiulu bamboo challenge




clockwise : rin and clare, perez, the rafting event.

its an annual event which i either participate as a competitor or just be one of the official taking care of the event. basically its an event where you have to run, raft then drift on a bamboo then run a little more and then you come to finale event where you have to walk on bamboo stilts.

last year NeuNeu and i crashed onto a fallen tree trunk because we lost control of the bamboo raft and was shooting to fast and too hard on the rushing river and then...KABOOM! smacked into the tree and overturned. the raft was literally stuck somehow to the tree and my leg got caught under the raft until NeuNeu dislodge it somehow (actually i don't know what was happening after the crash but this is what i figured :p) and i was free!!! but the raft is still stuck to the tree and at this point me and NeuNeu really didn't give a damn bout it cos the part where we crashed bit rough although shallow i couldn't even stand up; the moment i got free i started drifting away quickly. NeuNeu and i did a quick drama sketch of a rescue scene. finally we got to the river side and decided to forfeit. so folks, thanks to NeuNeu i'm still alive with only light injuries!

so everyone, understand why this year i am the evil sista who is incharge of the student volunteer! ROAR! ehehehe. uwah, i talked a lot.




Wednesday

F2 Powerboat Championship 2007


not much to say bout this event, other than i was suffering the whole time i was there. it was suppose to be just two days but got dragged on to three cause of unfavorable weather conditions. i covered the 1st and 3rd day.

Day 1, which was a Saturday, dragged on for eternity!
what bugged me the most was the waiting ... and waiting. oh hell i know, its mother nature's fault for being so inconsiderate as to be windy that day. grrr! ... alright, alright it was my fault for being hung over from Gaban's birthday aramaitii. luckily Rayner + Eddie was there to keep me from boredom.

Day 3, we were late and the finale race stated after i got there. this part i don't mind although it hot nuff to fry eggs. the least favorite kind of assignment is prize presentation! all those photographers pushing and shoving to get the best possible picture ... lil ol me gets crushed! not to mention it was a an exceptionally scorching day and it was unfortunately my first day of *&%# , you know ....

oh well, it was pretty interesting despite all that i wish i could have been in the mood to enjoy it better.


Saturday

*vignettes*

virgilia, on a friday afternoon ....



the most recent photo shoot, shooting portraits. its a hobby i guess. the weather these days just don't permit outdoors shoots. i wish there were more guys that would volunteer :(

i'm really happy
though that i got some girlfriends who's wiling to pose for me.




the location. hmmm, i should really research the actual name of the building and its history. theres a lot of talk about this abandoned building and its been like that since i could remember as a kid. recently it got fresh paint and suddenly graffiti started appearing. don't know whats the plan for this building and thats why i wanted to do the shoot the soonest possible before anything else happens.



this is virgilia. it took me a while to remember her name, for some reason i keep calling her victoria! anyway i asked her to pose for me sometime ago but the weather has been gloomy all along so one fine afternoon the sun decided to play :) we only had 1/2 hour to spare, too bad we couldn't wait for the sunset. but i'm happy with it as it is : )

Wednesday

A wedding ~ otto & amy

finally tied the knot! Otto + Amy!



it seems to me that love is in the air and wedding bells are goin ding dong like crazy. i've wind of it earlier but only at present moment, when things calmed down, this is the time when you feel the change.



i love church weddings. but i get embarrassed that my eyes won't obey my brains command to remain dry, they start overflowing when the bride walked down the aisle.



i was a little bit late for otto's + amy's church ceremony so i missed all that! drat! i didn't get a picture too! but it went well.
the funniest thing is dean caught the flowers. doesn't that beat all?



there were two night receptions, in hyatt and in angler's. the boys were really noisy + naughty at hyatt and
noyod really got smashed and became mr. octopus but only to su~chan. nya~ha~ha! otto got smashed too and did his signature momoh dance! har!har!har! but noyod was worse off. ehehe. its tough to be the best man! but it was a really a merry do! @ angler's the following sat, was more subdued and the couple wore traditional wear. awww! he!he!

its a little bit lonely when you friend sets out a new life journey and while you are still clinging to the life of a tree trunk (sebatang kara, am i saying this right? hahaha!) . its like a game you play that you have to go through certain stages till you complete the game. they've leveled up and you're still in first stage. they get on this boat, set sail and wave back at you but actually they are not actually waving but calling you to hurry up and get on the boat. ... the thing is.... i really don't want to get on that boat.

scuze, the sappiness. happens sometimes, i'm really happy for them, they looked really good together. Amy is a relative of mine and otto is my partner in crime, i wish them every happiness.
