Me At Daniel's Showcase!

Today is a great day for me!! Went to watch Daniel first Showcase! It had been frustrating earlier when Wing told me that he couldn't go to watch his performance. I ask him why and in his message he was telling me not to ask him why anymore and just give tickets to my other friends. He was using exclaimation marks in his message. Fine then, even he didn't want me to ask about his whereabouts, he shouldn't be too rude to me. I was disappointed woth his attitude but nothing I can do. I was asking any people possible to go to watch Daniel performance but no one willing to go as they are not fans of Daniel. But the one that is possible gotta be Eason. I heard him played Daniel's song before in The Store and I ask him about it and he agreed to go but still there are 3 more tix left and I asked my neighbour to go but when I heard he comments about Eason, I held back my intention of asking her to go. I didn't tell anyone Eason is going as I know that they would be think something different about my relationship wtih him as it has happened before.
So I went there with Sharron (a fan of Daniel) and my sis by LRT and reached Menara PGRM before 7 p.m. Wan Teang was on time tooNice. But still I had to wait for Eason and he was late and I had called him about 3 times and he didn't answer it and knew that he was driving. But later he called back and told me he was on his way... I wait till 7.30 p.m. and he was not there yet and I decided to go inside the Dewan Wawasan with them but I pull out in time as they will collect tickets when we went in. He arrived a few minutes later and we went in to the hall. Sharron was really surprised to see Eason there as I had not tell her who is coming with us. Great to see all of them surprised. The show was supposed to start at 8.00 p.m. but Daniel only appear at 8.30 p.m. and he performed songs from his debut album. The first song : 'Choice (Shuan zhe)' and he was dancing there on the stage!! First time saw him dancing!! Second song: 'Now, I'd like to See You' (Xian Zai Hen Xiang Jian Ni) . Well, can't really remember the sequence of the songs but he performed Heaven Knows, Kau Ilhamku, and 'Hei Se You Mo' ( Black Humour by Jay Chou) which he said that he performed during Jay's concert. Both Kau Ilhamku and 'Hei Se You Mo' were the songs he performed with him using the guitar. Other songs that he performed are 'Organic Love' (You Ji), Mimpi and the last song is 'Second Childhood' (Di Er Chi De Tong Nian). The showcase ends at 9.00 p.m. which means he only performed for half an hour to give ways to album-signing session. His overall performance was good as he improved a lot in singing live and he even dance even though his dance steps were easy. But the funniest part was Eason was really excited in taking pics as he was taking pics the whole half an hour. But well, we had to depend on him as he was tall and those pics were nice!!
We went home at 9.15 p.m. as the autograph-signing session starts. Eason drive us to LRT station and we went home by 10.15 p.m. It was really nice day going to watch Daniel but really can't stand those screaming voices and whistles were blowing very loudly. Enjoy it!! Can't wait till the next time I see him!!! He is my inspiration!!

~American Idol~

The American Idol season 5 results is out! The winner is Taylor Hicks!!
All of you will be wondering: what the hell the results got to do with you? Well, it had nothing to do with me either. It's just a coincidence for me to watch it as I am free this whole month. I did not even watch the whole season 5 of American Idol. But frankly to tell, this season had been the most amazing of all. The contestants are better than the previous ones, and the finalists are a close fight. The two finalists: Katherine McPhee and Taylor Hicks are strong candidate to win the contest. But in my opinion, Taylor is better than Katherine.
I love this kind of show, actually. I watch the whole season 3 where Fantasia is crowned the winner. I even watch it during midnight!! My dad dislike me for doing this, but at that time I was a TV addict. Well, I cut the crap short cos American Idol is not what most my friends watching cos everybody had been busy with their studies or work. Me too. Didn't watch it for the whole season and now watch the finals. That's because I am free now. But the show concept was really cool. Realising people's DREAM. Like Daniel (back to Daniel again) He's my inspiration!! Good thing that he won the competition and not Nita. Good role model for students like us.
University studies will start in June, really reluctant to study... Still not having enough fun and rest....sigh. Well that's life, I think.

Am I Really That Lucky?

Yahoo!! I'm going to see Daniel performing this Saturday!! Initially, I thought I would miss out on his showcase cos I had miss the ticket redemption event at Sungai Wang last Saturday (20th May 2006) due to the fact that I was at Genting at that time while the time to redeem tickets is 12 p.m to 2 p.m. Luckily for me, I saw an ad in China Press that Daniel's showcase tickets can be redeemed at China Press office.
I called Wing on Monday to ask him to take me there cos he's the only one who is free this whole week. He declined at first, but after much persuasion from me, he reluctantly agrees to go. Talking 'bout good persuassion skills huh? We went on Tuesday (23rd May 2006) but with 2 of his which I had not expected. But all of us is clueless of how to go to Bangsar and I had to resort to call Wen Jian to ask for directions cos I knew that he knows the roads in KL too well. We reached Bangsar within 15 minutes but we go around Bangsar area 3 times before I gave direction to Wing to go into a road where I saw a New Strait Times which I saw the first time we rounded the area. And there, we saw the China Press office. If I had not been firm on my opinion to drive into that area, I'm sure we'll be looking for the office for an extra 1 hour. The clerk there had been really friendly and allow us to redeem 8 tickets with those China Press that I brought along. Well, I looking forward to this Saturday to have a good time enjoying Daniel's performance!!!
I was really lucky that time when I won the contest to have dinner with Daniel as I never expect myself to win!!
Frankly to say, I had been really lucky my whole life. Going through tests, exams, major exams like UPSR, PMR, SPM or even STPM smoothly. People had been saying that I get good grades because I am smart, but all I say to them was that I was just plain being lucky. Really! THey may not believe it but it's true. It's because the markers had been really generous in giving marks combine with the standard of that year of exam and also some questions that I able to do because it coincidently been the things that i had revised. I had been quite lazy my whole life, revised just before exams and not consistent like so of my friends. But Form 6 had been the year that I studied hardest; burning midnight oil but the results had been average. BUT, I had been lucky not to fail Maths cos I failed my Maths the whole Upper 6 year.
I had also been lucky in passing my Driving test the first time considering the fact that my driving skill sucks.
I was really lucky when looking for jobs. Both of my jobs at Sungai Wang and The Store is from the recommendation of my friends.
I was really lucky to had a good family who supports me through thick and thin. Without them, I would not be who I am today.
Although I am that lucky like some of my friends who can go overseas to further their studies, but I was really grateful for what I have. It was really blessing to be that lucky!! Like Daniel sang 'The Lucky One'. I don't know how long I wll be lucky, but I won't take my luck for granted. I will keep going to strive for success!! Gambatte!!

The Trip to Genting ^.^

Last week has been an exciting week for me cos I went to Genting with friends I known from The Store. It's been really crazy cos 3 people back out from the trip and it's really disapppointing cos I thought all people can go and had a good time there but nothing i can do bout it...sigh. So it's just 4 guys and 3 girls going instead of 6 girls.

On Friday morning, 19th May 2006, I woke up at 6.00 a.m and I reach the LRT station at 7.20 a.m which is 5 minutes late from the time i had ask people to wait there as on the way my mum had fetch KK and Sharron and we had to wait for Sharron for 2 minutes cos she had to ensure all her things is completely packed. Actually I don't mind waiting for her, even though I was nagging like some old granny over the small details like that and KK was a little annoyed by it. It's not that I can't wait for 2 minutes, the reason i complained bout it is because Hui Fang is waiting at LRT station and don't like people waiting cos I know the feeling of waiting. Well, there's a little miscommunication between us and Hui Fang cos she waited at Bukit Jalil station and not Sri Petaling station so we went to Bukit Jalil but no sign of her there. Bukit Jalil is NOT a good palce to wait for someone cos it's tooooo big for us to look for one person and this situation proves it. We missed a train cos we have to wait for Hui Fang to appear before we enter the train and I was sweating like mad cos Wing will be waiting for us at Terminal Putra at 8 a.m. But it's almost 8 a.m. when we reach Masjid Jamek and we have to wait for 3 trains to pass by before we can get into a train and i got 5 phone calls from Wing asking our location. I was really blur and keep asking him what's he is talking about cos it's crowded in the train. Really sorry him cos he waited for half an hour for us.

Well, it's been a smooth ride to Genting and we reached there at 10 a.m. Still early and we managed to check-in early that day and rested till 11.30 a.m and we went straight to buy outdoor ticket and movie ticket for 'The Da Vinci Code'. We played to play those outdoor games and had lunch before we went to play a bowling game as it is free! It is the worst bowling game I'd ever played cos I can't really scored as the ball always go into "longkang". While we were walking in the theme park, we were approached by a Genting staff who offer us Flying Coaster ticket for just RM 5 instead of the usual RM 10 and we accept it. It's really an experience for us cos we ride on a roller-coaster while lying instead of the usual siting and I almost my spectacles cos i forgotten to take it out while riding and i have to hold spectacles at one hand whlie holding the handle with the other hand. The seat is really smelly as the guys smell it too. Wei Song and me went in the Ghost House twice. The ride is childish as nothing inside but we went in for the second time cos we want to take pics of my shirt which is flourescent blue in colour while it's really dark inside. Really crazy indeed as they say it!!

The other guys and me had rode on Corkscrew twice, Cyclone thrice and Space Shot once while the other two girls don't want to ride on it except for Sharron who is with me while riding the Space Shot and the Cyclone once. Wei Song said that I'm really crazy cos I'm the only girl of the group who is wiling to ride on those roller-coasters. That's a compliment to me!! I like to try on those exciting things as I said before, I want to lead a exciting and adventurous life.

Night is really simple for all of us, all of us don't have the appetite to eat, probably from all those spinnings and turnings. We rest and then out for shopping and watch movie. Few of us fell asleep while watching 'The Da Vinci Code'. I watch the whole movie without falling asleep. Great! Then we went to Starbucks to sit for an hour before we went back to room at bout 1.30 a.m. We played cards till 4 a.m. while KK and the other 2 girls slept early. Sometimes I feel like a tomboy rather than a girl cos I always play along the guys and act like them. Even my action while playing is like a guy.

The next day I woke up 8.30 am but i slept again as all of them is not up yet till 10 something. We went shopping around First World Plaza and take pics before taking a bus at 2.30 p.m. Reached KL at 3.30 p.m. and wandering around Titiwangsa area for a Chinese or Western restaurant before settling down for and Indian restaurant at 4 something which we didn't like cos we had walked for half an hour. No choice for us cos Chinese food court closed after lunch time. It's really unhygienic in the way they handle food cos they hold the piece of egg in Wing's nasi lemak to check if they had give him the curry chicken he asked for. We all were shocked by what they did. Really! I don't even feel like eating even though i'm hungry.

We went home by LRT at 5 p.m and lucky for all of us because it's not rush hour on Saturday cos if not, it will be crowded in the train. I went to McD to buy the Donald Duck figurine that I had wanted for a long time before I went home. Finally I got it!! Felt really happy with this trip even though not all of them went for the trip. I was really tired at the night but still I watched TV till 1 a.m. I dunno how I manage to stay awake even though I'm really tired.

The pictures of the Genting will be uploaded later for view as I haven't got it from Wei Song. Sorry guys!! Hope that I can share that with u guys as soon as possible.

Looking Forward for Trip

Well, my everyday had been the same since I quit my job. Sleep, eat, online. Nothing much. So now I'm sitting here, blogging...again. Last Saturday I had went to The Store and they are doing recruitment drive for the store card members in conjunction with Member's Day last week. Well, when I see what they did, I was really surprised! I was not even up to my expectation.

They just put a really small table at the main entrance as a form fill-in counter!! No signboards telling them what's happening, the table is placed in a small corner. They should have had bigger tables as counter and signboards to indicate what's happening. Not to boast myself, but my recruitment drive that I did in March is much more better than what they did now and I even get 105 new members in 3 days and from what I hear from Sharron, the Senior clerk was nagged by Manager cos the Drive was poorly done!!

I thought that staff at Customer Service had learned from past experience what to do during recruitment drive. I think they had depend on me at the past to do all the things and now they can't do what they had encounter from past experience!! And all I did all the time was based on my past experience for recruitment drive. Really disappointed with them. Well, I'm not a staff of The Store anymore but why I still care about what's happening? Enough of The Store already....

Looking at the brighter side, I'll be going to Genting this Friday with friends I have known while working at The Store (well, I mentioned The Store yet again). I dunno what will happen there but at the eleventh minute, there are two person backing out from this trip. The reason is having exam, and the other reason is mother doesn't allow her to go. Sigh... They were the who assured that they will go, but now backing out like that....well, no comment about it.

All are going as what I'd planned, I got every one agree with me to meet up at 7.15 a.m. even Sharron disagree with me about this last time. She ask me last night about my plan, and since no one is making decision, then I'll be the one who make the decision. I am even the one who pay for the hotel room at Wisma Genting since no one is willing to do this but my mum had been saying I had been so foolish to do this but someone had to be foolish if really wanna go to Genting.

But of course, I'm not using my money to pay for the rent, I make Wing to book roomand transfer his money to my account and I only resposible to pay it. Great, 3 days counting down to that day. Hope everything will be going smooth on that day. And to ensure everything to go as planned, I even tell them all that I'll not wait for late-comers cos they all really always late everytime I go out with them.... Hoping we'll had fun while we are in Genting cos it's been a long since I went for holiday!!

Summary of My Activites

Well well, this is my second blog for today. Maybe it can be counted as the first cos the previous one is a long due. Can't finish it even i online the whole last week. I am really free now, not knowing what to do, probably i should clean the room but the temptation to go online is strong, as no one at home to look at you and no one to wait for their turn to go online. Well, today is Monday, nothing much happens. So I just summarised what I did last week.

Monday(8th May): I went to return uniform to The Store with my friends and neighbour. We had lunch together and suddenly we decide to go to Sungai Wang cos Kok Keong is there. He was supposed to be working but he took medical leave cos he went to Red Box with his GF!! Imagine that! Well, wearing clothes that is not really attractive, we went to Times Square just to meet up with KK cos that day is his birthday. I forgot to bring him his birthday present. What a forgetful me! Basically we meet up with KK but we parted ways at Borders.We walked around and I found a stall which sells handmade keychain. Bought 8 small bells which costs me RM 8. I had vowed not to spend a penny in Times Square but still i buy things. Back home by 6 p.m but luckily for me someone drive me home. If not my mum sure get mad at me for asking her to pick me up while she's cooking. During the night watch a Singaporean movie "I Not Stupid". A really funny movie to watch and laughing like mad even though this is the third time I watch it.

Tuesday (9th May): Went out with my ex-colleagues from The Store. They had been asking me to go out even before i resigned. Supposed to meet them at 11.30 a.m. but my neighbour's freind who is supposed to pick me up is late. I had called my neighbour at but 10.45 a.m. and she told me that the guy is coming but only reach here at 11.35 a.m. He drive kinda slow and i was getting impatient as my colleagues called me but it's better safe than sorry but somehow he should keep at the left lane all the time cos he been cutting into left from the most right lane. Reached at MV bout 1230 p.m and really feel sorry for my colleagues who had been waiting there for almost an hour. We had no where to go and juz as we decided where to go, they were not following us! So we juz go our separate ways. Went to Topshop and bought a jacket that I wanted since i saw last saturday for RM 79. Worth it cos the had special offer now and I really like it cos it's really comfortable and looks nice on me. My first jacket from Topshop. Almost all the times, I did not walk with my colleagues but walk with my neighbour. Feel so guilty bout it cos we'e supposed to hang out together. My neighbour spend almost RM 400 that day. What a shock!! Me, almost RM 100 but worth it cos I bought the THING i like. Back home at bout 5.30 p.m. GOOD cos i went home by car and save money on public transport. I almost forgot to gave the cheque to my neighbour's friend but luckily he didn went too far away.

Wednesday(10th May): Went out for lunch with Sharron, Kok Keong and Yuen Mei(who finally went out after much persuasion). Went to Kinrara for lunch but I was questioning why Sharron chose KInrara cos I know Yuen Mei will not eat there because of hygiene reason. She'll get sick when she ate unhygienic food. Probably cos Sharron want to save money cos she spent almost RM 100 during MV outing. We ate there but Yuen Mei din eat there (I know it!!). After lunch at Kinrara, KK and Sharron went back to work and I accompany YM to some shop to buy chicken floss. She saw a Korean Resataurant nearby and suggested to go there. She ate some kind of rice which is in a porcelain bowl. I was feeling really full at that time but still she forced me to help her finish the food. Help her to finish kimchi cos she din like it. By the time we finished lunch, it's raining outside. We went to Secret Recipe but Yuen Mei don't feel like so we had no place to go as it's raining, so we chat at the five foot lane at Hotel Sri Petaling. Imagine that! Standing there while talking. At bout 4 pm, it's time to go back and I went to TDMC for X-ray and it only cost RM 30. I tot it would be about RM 100. It was hard to get a parking at TDMC so my mum juz have to park at a bus stop nearby.

Thursday(11th May): Went for medical exam to fill in the medic report for MMU and then Bank in the cheque for deposit for MMU. Went to school twice cos i was supposed to get witness for some declaration and waited at the office for Penolong Kanan but they were really busy so juz have to ask to sign it. I went for second time to school cos i missed out a document which has to be signed. Sigh.. wat a bummer!! But finsh all those procedure that day and send the documents required by MMU that day. What a relieve.

Friday(12th May): Lazing around today. Blogging but still can't complete it. Nothing much today.

Saturday(13th May): Went out with my mum to my grandma's house and after that went to The Store to buy dinner. Saw my ex-colleagues and tell them what to do cos most of the job that is supposed to be done by me is not finished. They are doing a Recruitment Drive but the counter set up bt them is not impressive and no signboard telling customers what's happening. Really disappointed to see that...sigh. At least they should get a signboard to be displayed. It's total failure. Night is interesting cos it's FA Cup final Liverpool vs West Ham Utd. West Ham took the lead but Liverpool manage to equalise but by almost full time West Ham was leading 3-2( i tot West Ham will win) but Liverpool manage to equalise and the match went to extra time. Liverpool won by penalty shoot out. Never watch football for a long time and feel really excited while watching the match. I was screaming throughout the match. Haha..

Sunday(14th May): It's Mother's Day but nothing much happens. Went out dinner earlier than usual to avoid crowd. And during the night,a HQ staff called me informing me he's in The Store Sri Petaling cos I have something to pass to him and I was supposed to get Genting vouchers from him but alas, I was too lazy to go out. So he put those vouchers at the counter and i'll get it from there. He ask me a few things about work. I was supposed to pass him something and he thought i put it at counter but i didn't. So I just have to wait for the next time he's in Sri Petaling to gave things which will not be within this month, i think....sigh.

~The Colours of My Hope~

I'm officially not a staff of The Store anymore! My last day was supposed to work till 7th May 2006 but I took annual leave that is meant for resigned staff. So I just work till 4th of May 2006. My last day there was a little different from other staff cos I was working like mad the whole day to finish my job in time.I was really in a hurry cos my mum has been waiting at the counter for me. I was getting impatient and I haven't told them all what to do. By 8 p.m I was in a hurry to go home so I did not say goodbye to everyone, just some who is sitting at my counter.

Maybe it's good in some ways cos in that way, I would not be crying while saying goodbye cos I was kinda relunctant to leave The Store. But it's not good going in a hurry cos I receive numerous calls almost everyday. Really feel bad for them cos I haven't tell them what to really do. I should have stay a little longer but my dad won't permits me to do so. Sigh...I feel guilty to my colleagues but i try to help them in any way now if they call me.

By the way, I'm getting sick since I did not work at The Store maybe i'm too stressed before that coz I feel that way too after each exam in Form 6. Anyway, Yuen Mei had been saying had been saying I should be more positive writing blog. Maybe in this blog i'll add a little more positve things. I'll write the things I want to achieve during my new university year:

1. I'll try not to see RED anytime anywhere I go.... I had been bad tempered all these years so it's time for me to be cool and mild-tempered.

2. I'll try to keep myself in the PINK of health all the time.... I never take care of my health as always and now I feel really unhealthy. Probably have to do with my lifestyle-sleep late, eating rubbish, no exercise and it has taken its tool on me. Maybe I should go for detox?

3. GREY should not be in my dictionary anymore!!.... I was thinking of negative things-the worst thing of something and not the best of it. It's time to have positive thinking. In that way, I can have a better results in what i do.

4. BLUES BLUES go awayyyyy.... Blues is not the best thing in the world!! Everyone has blues, but I should be happier now, like Yuen Mei, I should be a happy-go-lucky person. I was a happier person since I meet her cos we've been laughing all the time while we were in class either arguing or discussing something.

5. GREEN-eyed monster no more!!.... I was envious with people sometimes cos I was thinking why they can be so lucky cos they seem to have it all. Travelling and have to study overseas- that's my dream but sometimes when you have something, you have a price to pay. So now, I'll not be jealous of other people achievements, instead, I should be contented with what i have.

Alright, maybe I just have 5 hopes but that's hard to be fulfilled. I had achieved most of it; being more open-minded and generous and also happier person!! I dunno what had make me feel this way, maybe because working had make me to grow up to be a more mature person. Really an experience for me to work at Customer Service Department and not other department cos I can deal with more people compared to the other department, which enabled me to people from all walks of life.

Well, for now, I'll enjoy my life to the fullest like some other young adult without worries in life!! Life is definitely a roller coaster!!
