Outlaw

September till November then December...

For this period of time during 2006 and 2007,
I have only one word do describe this time of life...
BORING!

But since 2008,
Life was more exciting then usual.
especially during the hols.

But 2009,
This was one hell of a year...
Joining two new societies,
dumping the old one,
became a committee member in a month or two,
learning not 1 but 3 things about music,
Violin, Piano and vocals
Standing on stage with a superb and talented
(not to mention handsome...V^^!!V)
Partner,
Being a fashion designer...
But notice one thing,
All these above has nothing to do with my class.

Yes,
Spending almost a year with them,
I still feel that I'm an outlaw to them.
I mean,
There is lack of interaction between us.
I'm busy,
but at least talk to me!
All the while I will be the one talking to them,
and sometimes I'll be ignored.
They will only come to me unless they need some
"help".
There are only a few people who don't ignore me in class.
But then,
why can't the rest of them can't get along with me.
I've not about a few factors but then,
hopeless.
Isn't being half Chinese enough?

Luckily I have a few others to turn to.
I'll like to thank them for that,
but I'd rather not reveal their names.
But I especially like to thank a girl,
although younger than me by a couple of years,
but still,
I owe her a lot.
A toast to Lee Set Jin!
I admire her courage,
although not really academically smart,
but,
she has high EQ.
the one that understands me better then others.
Cheers to her!

Normal but hectic life

Well, here I am again, blogging.
Well guys?
Life's boring for these few days.
No excitement.
I only know that I did Book-keeping till the early mornings of 2.30.
Woke up at 5a.m.
Damn tired.
Went to school lousy although I had a luxurious breakfast.
Saw a friend on the way into school.
Didn't dare call him as my dad will get the wrong idea.
I think some of you may know who I'm refering to.
I think the person who I'm talking about knows himself too.
Well enough about that.
Lets get in to school.
Life sucks!
Exams around the corner,
Incomplete artworks,
HTML Project,
Friends,
Teachers,
Relationships...
Oh my God...
Am I living a boring life or what

Education Fair

There was an education fair in school today.
I went over there with Jin.
Saw a lot of stalls of various universities and colleges
But what I've mainly seen there are mainly universities or college on arts.
There are my campus:Limkokweng University of Creative Media, The One Academy, Dazine, MIA and lots more.
We went there on the second recess and just look around.
We bounced in to a few people there.
Jin in interested in medicine field and I'd recommended her a few.
We saw St. Andrews university and learned that the hot future reign of the United Kingdom graduated there too.
Imagine going to the same school that Prince William had been to!
We know that studies in England is a good nut expensive option.
I, of course, am interested in my art, especially fashion designing.
Now many campuses are offering this course but getting a good education and exposure is important.
After visiting countless booths I came with the conclusion that Limkokweng was the best in exposure wise.
BUT,
MIA is cheaper and have a cheaper but similar and an extra subject of batik.
I'd told my parent about it but they still think that accounting is the best and designing stands no chance in the market.
I told them they are wrong.
I believe we can earn better through a job that is less in the demand.
For example accountancy is a great job.
But imagine that if more people are out for the job,
there will seriously be a problem to get a job as you need to be the best of all those.
Sometimes I just feel sick to compete with others, especially when it comes to job.
I have no interest at all in accounts, not a bit.
And why should I do things that I'm not interested in?
Is it wrong to do fashion designing?
Don't people get the term:"If it isn't you, then it's me"?
I mean my dad is also doing one of the oddest job on earth-importing research materials.
Why can't I?
Imagine if you have a box which can only fit ten balls
but then you try to put in 20 balls.
What will happen?
There are extras!
And these extras are jobless people.
When you choose a job that is not so in the demand,
You can actually ensure yourself you'll have a job.
Talking about over seas, there are always an opportunity there.
It all depends on you if you can find that opportunity.
And believe me,
when they opportunity comes once,
they will only come once.
If you get a second chance that means luck is on your side.
Fashion designing is something that will never go out of trend
And there are many parents out there that have the same attitude like my parents.
Although they demand people with loads of creativity,
I think I have the potential.
If you refer to my report card,
Art will have the highest mark.
When you talk about art, you are also talking about creativity and patience.
Some people like me(not to brag),
Have been born with this talent.
But I won't say that what I draw is always perfect.
I'll always get first opinion from my teachers,
second from my friends to make sure that my level will always remain or increase.
If I'm born with such talent, why don't I used it to advance on as a career?
Not many are suitable for fashion designing for it seriously requires lots of creativity and imagination.
I showed them my fashion and project.
They loved it and say that I have a good basic but there are still room for improvement.
Okay, if Limkokweng is too expansive, than I'll join my friend in MIA.
Three years to complete the course and go to England for and exchange.
If I seriously can't do it,
Interior designing will be my next option.
that too requires a lots of creativity and patience.
It's not easy to build a miniature model as it is to sew a dress.
But all I know is that,
If you have the heart, passion and hunger for that specific knowledge,
nothing is impossible and nothing is unstoppable.
It's important to follow your heart than to listen to others
Accept other's advice and differentiate it.
Parents are not always right.
Time changes.
Time gets shorter day by day as technology and trend advances faster.

Met a friend there who wanted to see the watercolour picture I'd drew of him.
A bit of a mix up that time as I need to settle my class T-shirt stuff.
So I spoke to a friend ask him to deal alone first as i wanted to show my picture to the other guy.
He's okay as he knows...
So I took my mate to the office to show the pic.
He was impressed but said that I'd drawn his cheeks to rosy.
I had to admit it was a little too red but what the hell?
The picture taken was in that way and I just copied it!
He went back to class.
And I went down to finish off the T-shirt deal.
We were encouraged to use other colours as the background instead of black as our designs are quite complicated and messy.
the girl had given us her contact
so all we have to do is wait for her colour chart.

End of school.
went to get Jin.
Then we headed to the fair again as Jin haven't seen the whole of it.
I went home at four, quarreled with my parents in the car about my future career, had lunch and reached home.

Speaking about cars,
my dad managed to sell of his old 200E Benz and got a Perodua Viva.
We planned on selling the Myvi too but we'd been played out by the dealer.
He earlier offered RM 31,000 for the car but when we went to the showroom to check out the Toyota Vios,
he can only cough out RM28,500, which, after depreciation and all we will lose.
My parents got pissed-off and just walked off.
Now my dad is going to touch up his BMW and keep it, but for the Myvi,
we're going to get it sold first.
I heard car prices will be dropping so we need to sell the Myvi out.
Note then when I said BMW,
it's not a car but a bike,
a half tonne bike, K1100.
an old classic.

well, a little too much to say.
I'll leave it here till next time.

It's been a while since I've updated this blog.

22nd of August was the birthday of a dear friend of mine.
I drew him a picture( comic style) of him and made him my specialty-Spaghetti (seafood style drenched in XO).
In fact I drew two pictures to see which turned out the best.
One was the comic one, the other,
Watercolour.
I consulted my art teacher and she gave a flat 84 for the comic and nothing for the watercolour.
She told me to draw in a background and maybe she'll give me better marks.
She always has high expectations for me as I'm one of the best in my form.
I took them back and drew in a background.
For the comic, I was cracking my head what to draw in as the background.
I drew him holding the viola(although it's not obvious 'cause he is holding it down).
I know that he loves music, especially classical music.
I thought of copying one of Vivaldi's famous works-
La Primavera a.k.a Spring from Four Seasons.
But,
Just drawing lines and copying it down will make it look cheap.
And so,
I drew in random sheets
Twisting and turning at the back.
Now comes the hard part-copying in the score.
Just drafting it has already taken 1 day plus adding on the ink,
That makes it two.
For the watercolour piece,
I've drew him really life-like, picture perfect to brag with.
I drew in the background with a combination colour of blue and pink.
What does it signify, you ask?
Pink- as I've seen him in that particular colour of a t-shirt.
Blue- Resemblance of our violin society.
But in the end it was a disaster!
It didn't turn out the way I wanted it to but then I took it to my teacher the next day.
She gave me a 99 for the comic and a 96 for the watercolour(after patching it up for me).
Speaking about spaghetti,
He'd tried it once before.
Actually that was for the art society during the holidays to get ready for the academy exbt. our school is having soon.
I was singing and he was my piano accompanist
We were suppose to practice that day after his class and told him to come over to have lunch together with us artist .
He ate and said it was a little dry.
I can't help it when something goes wrong with my cooking.
So to prove that I can make it better,
I made him a better one.

Next Saturday he'll be performing with his fellow MPYO's in Sunway.
Hope he'll put on a great performance on that day.
I'll be there to support him,
Provided my dad allows me to go...
Anyway, that's all for now,
Till next time.

Good Jokes: Memoirs of IMH (Mental Hospital)

Record I

Patient A: "So how.. this book not bad ya?"

Patient B: "Excellent! Astounding work. No nonsense shit, sharp andconcise to the point. But there's a major flaw in this piece of arttoo many character names to remember!!!"

Nurse: "Hey! Can the two of you..put the telephone book back to theoriginal place?"

Record II

One doctor asked a patient: "If I were to cut one of your ear off,what will happen to you?"

Patient: "Then I will not be able to hear..."

Doctor: "Hmm.. that's normal...So if I were to cut your other earoff, what will happen to you?"

Patient: "Then I will not be able to see..."The doctor became nervous and asked: "Why would you not see then???"

Patient: "Because my spectacles will drop down..."

Record III

IMH has an old lady who wears black everyday, carries a blackumbrella and squats @ the entrance to the IMH everyday without fail, rain or shine.

The doctor wanted to administer treatment for her and decided tostart by understanding her behaviour.

So, the doctor also wear black and carries a black umbrella; squattedoutside together just next to her, rain or shine, everyday withoutfail.

So...days goes by...the two of them squatted side-by-side w/o asingle exchange of words..for one solid month...

One fine day..the old lady finally broke the silence and asked thedoctor: "Err...Excuse me! Are you also a mushroom?"

Record IV (the best)

A nurse saw a patient writing a letter..

She got curious and went totake a peek..

But the patient didn't wanna let her see.

Nurse (unable to contain her curiosity): "Who are you writing to?"

Patient : "I'm writing a letter to myself..."

Her curiosity grew and she thought to herself

(Why would someonewrite a letter to himself?)

So she asked again: "So...what's written inside?"

Patient (got impatient): "You crazy ah? I haven't receive the letter,how would I know??"

Record V

Two patients escape from the IMH.

They climbed up a tree and one ofthem fell from the tree and started rolling on the ground.

After a while, the patient rolling shouted to the top: "Hey! How comeyou are not coming down yet?"

The patient ontop replied: "No..no...I can't...I'm not ripe yet"


Record VI

One patient visited the doctor: "Doc...how? I think I'm a chickensince I was born..."

Doctor: "Woah! that's very serious...Why do you only come and seektreatment now?"

Patient: "Because my family needs me to hatch the eggs..."

Record VII (Perfect)

One truck driver was doing his usual delivery to IMH.

He discovered a flat tyre when he was about to go home afterunloading the stuff.

He jacked up the truck and took the flat tyre down.

When he was about to fix on the new tyre, he accidentally dropped allthe bolts into the drain.

The truck driver was very sad as he can't fished the bolts up;started to panic.

Coincidentally, one patient walk past and asked the driver whathappened.

The driver thought to himself, since there's nothing much he can do,
he told the patient the whole incident.

The patient nonchantly replied: "can't even fix such a simpleproblem...no wonder you are destined to be a truck driver..."

he goes on explaining:"You just have to take one bolt each from the other 3 tyres and fixit onto this tyre. Drive to the nearest workshop and replace the missing ones"

The driver was very impressed and asked "You're so smart but why doyou stay in IMH?"

Patient replied: "I stay here because I'm crazy not STUPID!"

Un expaected invitation

Hi all!

I got a phone call from someone really unexpected yesterday.
A friend of mine called and asked me about tickets to a music festival in Sunway Lagoon.
It's on the 29th of this month.
Actually the tickets were for that friend that called me.
She had aperformance somewhere else and asked if I would like the tickets.
She told me that Jacky would be performing so I thought of giving him abit of a support.
So I told her that I want it and she says that the ticket is with one of her friends in another class.
I told her we'll meet at second recess and go to her friend's class to see her
It seems that I know her friend( but the lol part is i forgot her name! Talk about being in the same school together when we were in primary grade...)
Since she is saying near by, transportation will be easy.
Now all I need is the approval from my dear Daddy...

Five times in a row!

Sorry for not updating this blog for a long, long time ,
fellow followers.
My apologies.

What a week!
You are probaly wondering what do i mean by
"Five times in a row"
Basicly,
I have a crush on someone.
Guy or Gal?
NOT TELLING!!!
Those who knows,
Keep it a secret,
Okay?
I met that someone five times in a row for this week!
Whoa!
It's like one minute you are down in the dumps
and the next you are at cloud nine!
Just stealing a look at that person has already satisfy my heart
I was feeling lonely for the past few days,
and th e stupid virus hanging around...
I just can't stand it.
I can't even pour my self out to Ah Ken( Kah Ken, One of my best mate in class and school)
since we are sitting so far apart.
Exam sucks but I still feel "high" mentally
(but lousy and tired physically, haven't sleeping really well lately, exams, damn it)

Well societies just ended yesterday for me.
From the violin society to art,
I had a great time this year.
I find that within societies,
It's either preparing for art
or practising my violin.
I find that this year I won't be always
staring in front of the TV or PC.
Plus I just got a poodle and a shit-tzu-poodle cross.
So tyime is always used up.
Sometimes I feel so thankful but otherwise
I just fret on why do I need to take up so much responsibility.
I told my parents that I wanted to get a puppy
But I never enticipated that all will happen so soon.

From the passing months,
I got to know a little more about myself.
I've even wrote on Facebook an apology to those who I've offended.
I had a misunderstanding with a teacher and one of them left
One of them getting a little touchy and rest are okay.
Life is such and have to go on.
I learned one important thing here.
KNOW YOURSELF WELL BEFORE YOU KNOW OTHERS.
and here is a quote to bear out there:
ACCEPT AND RESPECT OTHERS,
REGARDLESS WHO THEY ARE,
WHAT THEY ARE,
BUT ALWAYS KNOW HOW THEY ARE.
If somebody have done something wrong ,
tell it to them immedietly.
You can bit around the bush,
but make sure they understand.
You can tell them straight but don't hurt their feelings.
Never isolate a fellow human being.
He and She must be treated equaly.
LIVE YOUR LIFE.
DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY
C'est La Vie!
(French: That's the way how life is)

Time of my Life

Well, it's been a long time since i've blogged bout something...

Well now at form 4 i'm having the time of my life and guesse what? Tomorrow is my birthday! Many happy returns to me and all those who are born at this date. Singing, playing the violin and arting round, feels great.
