Do You Ever Wonder What Happens To The Words That We Send?

I was damn semangat to upload tons of stuff today. Videos and all. But then my Internet is damn SHITTY so I've totally lost my mood to blog and I'm damn annoyed right now.

Maybe later, when I'm not in such a pissy mood, I'll try again.

For now, I'm off to watch Wall E on DVD.

Btw, I watched Pearl Harbour on DVD this afternoon and cried my eyes out. :p It is the one movie that never fails to reduce me to tears no matter how many times I watch it!

And omg, HOW sexy is Josh Hartnett in that movie?!? I fall in love with him everytime I watch that movie! :p I am such a sucker for the dark hair, sexy eyes, gorgeous smile on a guy! And oh man, his arms are so amaaaaazing! His MUSCLES yo!

I love sexy arms on a guy!

And okay, honestly, girls, racing drivers have THE sexiest arms! Even if the rest of them isn't sexy, their arms ALWAYS are because of all the manual labour that they do.

TRUST ME OKAY! Muscles you get from going to the gym and muscles you get from working at the track are WAY different! Track muscles are way more rugged which is way more sexy.

Whoever gets together with my brother is going to be one lucky biatch!

And HOW did this post get turned into me talking about racing drivers muscles? :p

I BLAME JOSH HARTNETT IN ALL HIS SEXINESS!

It's Always Gonna Come Right Back To This

Since everyone is on holiday for CNY, I think I should be allowed to take a holiday from blogging too. :p

I KNOW I'M MAKING EXCUSES! I PROMISE TO DO SOME SUPER AWESOME POSTS AFTER CNY!

And anyway, everyone's back in their kampungs for CNY anyway. So it's not like anyone is reading my blog! :)

I'll be back tomorrow though (maybe. If I can find the time. :p) Hopefully, with some pictures! :) Coz I have SO MANY pictures to post!

Deep Breaths

Yesterday, sweaty, smelly, dirty and SO exhausted after being out the whooooole day for shooting and then cheer, I came home, took a cold/hot shower, came out of the bathroom to the comfort of my air-conditioned room, dried off, jumped into my uber comfy bed butt naked (yes, I lie in my bed naked. So what?), turned on my iPod, closed my eyes and just listened to music for about 15 minutes.

After such a long, tiring day, nothing was more comforting than the softness and warmth of my pillows and duvet while my a/c was blasting at the coldest temperature, listening to everything from the soothing sounds of Jason Mraz's "Love For A Child" to the bubblegum pop of the soundtrack from iCarly to the hip hop beats of Pitbull's "Krazy" and the very, very sexy sounds of Chris Daughtry.

As soon as I was done listening to One Republic's "Apologize", I put on my clothes, slathered on vanilla scented moisturiser and was ready to go for dinner.

Sometimes, in this crazy, gogogo world we live in, it's the simple things like taking a refreshing shower and listening to music that will make a difference in your day.

So the next time you feel yourself getting stressed or being cranky from a hard day, wanting to yell at someone or pull your hair out of your head, go and sit by yourself, listen to some music, take a walk, have a quick lie down. Do whatever it is you do that calms you down because it's these little things that can turn your day around. :)

Giving In To Temptation

I really wanted to do a nice, long, post with pictures today but I've been on the go since 5am this morning so I am exhausted and I think I deserve to be given one more (or more. :p) day(s) off until the nice, long, post is posted up.

The next couple of days are going to be pretty busy too though so don't expect too much but I promise to do the best I can. :)

Till next time!

My Mind Keeps Running Back To You

Okay, no pictures today coz I'm lazy.

And it's been awhile since I've written a really wordy post anyway. :p

AND, I haven't written ANYTHING about what's going on for me right now so I'm going to. :)

So, tons of people have been asking me what I'm doing now/going to do.

HERE IS THE ANSWER! STOP ASKING ME PLEASE AND THANK YOU! :)

I've decided to resit some of my IB papers. Math, Chemistry, Business and Spanish. Math and Chemistry coz my results were shit, Business and Spanish not coz my results were shit, they were actually pretty good but I don't want pretty good, I want EXCELLENT. :p

So I start classes after CNY but my timetable is really easy coz I only attend specific classes.

The only thing I'm not looking forward to is WAKING UP EARLY! Ugh! Most of my classes are in the morning! But I guess better in the morning than the afternoon right?

I'm actually looking forward to going back for classes coz although it's nice just bumming around all the time, it's getting a bit boring too. :p

Besides that, Fi and I have been coaching red house cheerleading. It's our first time as official coaches so it's pretty exciting! :)

I went to do my nails with Arlene (my cousin-in-law) yesterday. :) Quality cousin time before she and my cousin go back to Penang for CNY. It's their first CNY as a marrie couple! Their wedding pictures will be up soon! :p

So yeah. That's pretty much all I've been up to this past week!

Coaching, settling my IB stuff, getting my nails done. :p My life is pretty chill right now but I suspect it's gonna get preeeeettttyyyy crazy real soon! :) I miss my crazy life though! So it's all cool!

Anyways! I should be off. It is now 12am and I have to be up in 4 hours because I need to be on location for a shoot tomorrow at 5 FREAKING 30 IN THE MORNING!

Yes, you read it right! I'm shooting for Pizza Hut tomorrow and they want us on location for hair and makeup at 5.30 in the morning.

Crazy much?

*sigh*

Off I go to attempt to sleep.

That's The Moment You Came To Me

Last night, the whole world watched as Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th president of the United States of America.



If you Malaysians stayed up until 1am as I did to watch his inauguration, then you'd have seen him mess up his oath a bit. :p For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, shame on you for missing out on watching such a historic moment! Go and Youtube it now!

But hey! It was a looooooong sentence! And you gotta cut the guy some slack! He's being sworn in as the president of a country. I'd be nervous too. :p

The one thing I didn't like about the inauguration ceremony was the way they kept going on and on about him being the "first African-American president". WE GET IT! HE'S BLACK!

I mean, I don't deny that this is an amazing achievement for Obama, his family and the rest of the African-American population. But by constantly bringing attention to the fact that he's African-American shows that people consider him to be different from the other presidents. When really, he is no different. Just like all of us, he breathes, sleeps and eats. He loves, cries and rejoices.

THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE! HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! BLACK, WHITE, YELLOW, BLUE OR GREEN, HE IS STILL THE PRESIDENT!

Kay, I'm not sure if I'm making much sense but sorry! Just had to get that off my chest. :p

And then the part everyone was waiting for.



His speech. Which btw, he gave either completely from memory, or otherwise, he is one helluva impromptu speaker because he had no notes/flash cards/speech on a paper etc etc.

Amazing.

I'm sure everyone knows by now what an inspirational speaker he is.

And inspire he did.

Although I don't think this speech was as good as his previous one, this one was pretty damn good too!

He managed to strike the perfect balance between reassuring America and the world that changes will be made while being realistic at the same time. He didn't make promises just for the sake of making promises you know?

"Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America - they will be met!"

How's that for inspirational yo? Whooooo! GObama! :D:D

And unlike the previous idiot that was running the country, Obama has different policies about war/nuclear weapons etc etc.

"We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan."

IT'S ABOUT TIME! Enough lives have been lost and ruined. Enough childhoods taken away.

"With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelessly to lessen the nuclear threat."

Nuclear weapons are NOT good! Give a 2 year old boy a stick, he's gonna hit another two year old boy with it and it'll hurt. Give a 2 year old boy a soft bunny rabbit, even if he does hit another two year old, it won't hurt as much. :p

Yes, I just likened nuclear weapons to a stick and a soft toy. SO WHAT?!?

"We cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass, that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve."

YES! THANK YOU! Make love not war!

"To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect."

Mutual respect is always good! :) Just like a Little Black Dress (all women should have one in their closet!), you can never go wrong with mutual respect!

Peace ya'll. It's the one thing in the world that is NOT overrated.

GO AND YOUTUBE HIS SPEECH!

I assure you that it's something you will not regret. Listening to his speech gave me goosebumps!

Although I have to admit, while I was in the car today, on the way for a wardrobe fitting (more on this tomorrow!), I realized that it was scary the amount of confidence the people of the world have in Obama. I mean, this man, has gained the respect of people from ALL OVER THE WORLD. From America to Malaysia. From China to Australia. ALL OVER THE WORLD!

Think carefully and ask yourself, how many other leaders have ever inspired so much confidence in the people of the world?

To name a few? Hitler, Stalin, Mao Tze Tung.

A bit scary I must admit. But I dunno. Just like the rest of the world, I have been taken in by this man's sincere smile, his heartfelt words and his obvious love for his family. A guy who loves his family THAT much can't be bad right? And well, a man who looks as handsome as he does in a suit really really CAN'T be so evil! :p

I spoke to Keith earlier and even he agreed that when Obama speaks, it's almost as if he's a cult leader because everyone is just so taken in by what he says.

Hmmmmm! Scary, scary ya'll! :p



President and First Lady Obama at the inauguration ceremony.

Cmon! Look at that smile! He should be on the box of toothpaste!

But okay. HOW cute are the two of them?!? Everytime you see them, they're always smiling at each other and holding hands and stealing little kisses! It's the most adorable thing ever and it's obvious that they both really love each other!

I LOVE IT!



LOOK AT THAT! HOW NOT TO LOVE THEM?!?



Hahahaha! I love this picture! It's kinda like Michelle Obama is going "YES WE CAN! YES WE DID!" And President Obama is smiling at her in the most indulgent way! Like "Oh, my baby is just the most beautiful person ever!"

*sigh*

I want to marry the President of the United States also!

ONE MORE PICTURE OF THEM JUST COZ IT'S MY FAVOURITE PICTURE!



You sure this is at an inauguration ball and not at their wedding or their high school prom or something?!? HOW DO THEY MANAGE TO LOOK SO DAMN IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER ALL THE TIME?!?

*sigh*

The hopeless romantic in me is eating this up faster than a bulimic throws up his/her dinner.

Btw, President and First Lady Obama danced at all 10 of the inaugural balls! It's a FACT! I read it on CNN. :p

Okay, this post which was supposed to be about the 44th President of the United States of America being sworn in just got turned into a love story. Only I could do that lah! :p An inauguration ceremony cum love story! At least it's about half half! Not like 70% love story, 30% inauguration ceremony! :D

And at the risk of sounding like a total bimbo, what did you think about Michelle Obama's wardrobe choice?

I thought that what she wore in the day wasn't too flattering on her although the colour did look good on her, it made her look a tad frumpy. But I liked her ball gown! I wouldn't say I loved it, but there was nothing particularly wrong with it either. I couldn't find a picture of it on Google but if you go to Perez Hilton, you should be able to find a picture of it. Here! I was kind enough to link it! Click! It fit her perfectly though! Accentuated all the right bits! Looks like it was made for her! (which it probably was. :p)

And okay, I am hating Sasha and Malia Obama right now! -_- Click again! They got to hang out with the Jonas Brothers okay! Omg! I'm not exactly a fan of the Jonas Brothers music but they're so cute! Who wouldn't want to hang out with 3 cute boys who can sing?!?

And fine. I take back what I said about hating Sasha and Malia. Look at their picture! Who can hate such sweet looking girls in such pretty coats?!?

I love the Obama's! :D

All that's left for us to do now is to see if Obama puts his words into action.

I think he will. :)

I'm Not Loving You The Way I Wanted To

Okay, I really wanted to upload pictures/blog of/about my crazy weekend today (Absolute bazaar, dinner and movies with Cher and KLPac open day!) but I can't find my camera cable. -_- So I decided to upload pictures from my Christmas party instead! :D

Pictures from mine, Arthur's and Sharon's camera.



We took this shot by balancing my camera on a suitcase in my TV room! Haha!



As you can see, we drank alot of Coke and played Scrabble. The beer can belong to Zam. Lol.



If you don't know these two by now, this is obviously your first time on my blog. Lol.



Gorgeous, gorgeous Ling! :) <3<3<3<3



The both of us in matching dresses! Haha! I copied her. :p



Ling again.



Zam looking damn gangsta.



Signature T4YP "lust" pose.

Heh. We don't get it right ALL the time. This is obviously one of those times. :p



Nice, normal us. :D



Okay, how this picture came about is super funny. I was walking up the stairs slooooowly and then I hear all of them shouting "KIM! FASTER COME! FASTER! HURRY UP! HURRY UP!" So I run up the stairs, see all of them posing for the camera which is balanced on a suitcase, waiting for the timer to go off, the camwhore in me is awakened, I jump into the picture at the very last minute and TA-DAH! :D:D



Please don't ask me why I have SO MANY pictures of these two. -_-



Arthur and I. Gadiy kacau only.

Kay. I'll be back tomorrow with pictures from the crazy weekend. Hopefully.

Just Try To Keep My Spirits Up

I'm back! :D

Once I start, I just can't stop!

But then when I stop, I just can't start again. :p

I am seriously DYING to change my blog layout! I am SO SICK of this one! *insert frustrated smiley face here* I should get around to doing something about it SOON! And I should update my link list too. :p

Didn't do much today coz I'm resting for the weekend. Lol. This weekend is going to be pretty insane! Briefing at KLPac tomorrow for all of us who are volunteering for their open day and then Absolute Bazaar where Peaches & Pixies have opened a booth! Make sure you go and support them and get your CNY shopping done! They've got tons of goodies up for grabs! :) Details of Absolute Bazaar on their website! :) After that, dinner and a movie with the girls! :) I'm finally seeing Cher again and I really want to introduce her to Ling, Sam and Quin. Then on Sunday, its KLPac the whole day baby! :D:D Shopping, food, live music and short plays/staged readings all at the same place! Who can resist?!? Sounds like heaven to me!

Okay, anyways! Here are pictures from my NYE! I know they're a little late but better late than never!

Ringing in 2009 was amazing for me. I got the best of both worlds and got to spend it with both my family and my friends. Daddy got rooms for all of us (my family) at One World and we saw the most amazing fireworks from mummy and daddy's room. Seriously. The best I've ever seen! It was so beautiful! I lovelovelovelove fireworks! LOVE THEM! When I get married, I'm going to have fireworks! :D:D:D I don't care how much they cost, I HAVE to have them.

Kay, back to NYE! After the fireworks were over and we (my family and I) had done the obligatory round of hugs, kisses and Happy-New-Year's, Bryan, Mummy and I walked from One World to The Curve to meet up with my friends at Laundry! :) Yes, my mother and little brother went for Lap Sap with me at Laundry! Haha! Danced until about 2am and then we walked back to the hotel.

Didn't manage to take many pictures coz my camera ran out of battery. :p

And oh! I forgot to mention that Brian Chu joined us to countdown to 2009 too! That boy is so adorable and he is going to be such a heartbreaker!



All of us in our hotel room at One World hotel after the fireworks. Or was it before? I forget. Brian took this picture for us. :)

Bryan and Brian in matching outfits. HAHAHA! I just realized!
It was Aaron's last night in Malaysia. :( So I went to meet up with him at Redbox to say goodbye.
Mummy and Bryan at Laundry.
I JUST realized that Cai Jin is in the picture too! :p
-_- *sigh* Zam.
Lucky for you I could crop you out Jam! Coz if I couldn't and you spoilt such a nice picture, I would've killed you. :)
:) But I still love you. Regardless of how annoying you get. Haha!
So that was my NYE! Amazing, amazing. I had such a good time. :) I'm smiling now as I'm typing this out.
Twas a good start to 2009! :)
Will blog about the Ruumz.com launch at Mist soon! As soon as I can steal the pictures from someone's FB/blog. :p

Imma Make Them Go Crazy

Okay, I know that this post is like 2 weeks overdue but I don't care. I am determined to write a post on my 2008 and what I expect from my 2009!

The truth is, I was just avoiding writing this post coz I know how long it would take. :p Procrastination much?

But okay, not to make excuses, but I HAVE been pretty busy. Not like IB busy though. More like I-need-to-do-my-nails-and-go-shopping kind of busy. :p

I HAVE started doing more productive things though! Mostly because I can't stand not having anything to do EVERYDAY! I don't know how some people do it! Really! It drives me crazy! Fi and I are the official coaches for red house cheer this year and I've done quite a few castings/auditions and I've been shortlisted for some and confirmed for some too. :)

Anyway! Back to the soppy post!

For those of you who know me well/read my blog, you'd know that my 2008 wasn't exactly easy. I don't want to go into specifics but I'm sure you can all guess what I'm talking about. :p

However, now that 2008 is over and I have all this time to look back on my year, I realize that maybe 2008 wasn't such a bad year after all. Sure there were difficult times, lots of tears, lots of questioning who I am, lots of feeling so unsure of myself. But truly, what doesn't kill you, can only make you stronger. I understand this now.

I've learned so much about myself in 2008 that even if I was given the chance to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. I've become a better, stonger and more mature person because of what I went through.

2008 was my reality check.

I've become more confident of who I am. I've learned that the people who matter don't care and the people who care, don't matter. I've learned that in life, there will always be people who will try to bring you down, and the only person who can bring you back up, is yourself. I've learned that blood is thicker than water. I've learned that I am such a strong person and that I can overcome my weaknesses if I really put my mind to it.

But of course 2008 was not all about me. I got through these difficult times with some very special people by my side. So this post, is about them. Because I wouldn't be who I am without their help, their support, and their shoulders.

IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER! NO ONE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE OTHER ONE! PLEASE DON'T ASK ME WHY THIS PERSON'S PICTURE IF FIRST ETC ETC!



Because our friendship is so deep and so true and if there really was such a thing as soulmates, I think I've found mine. :)

True friendship knows no boundaries. Even with one of us in Bali, another one in Sydney and 2 in Malaysia, we still manage to be there for each other and that means more to me than anything in the world.



Riam. You have this uncanny ability to understand the way my twisted mind works and I yours. You always know the right thing to say to make me smile and feel better about myself on my darkest of days. And if there was someone whom I have learned from and look up to, it would be you. 2008 threw so many obstacles at you and you came out of it with your head held high and I admire you so much for it.



This is because you listen to all my problems, no matter how silly (boy crazy slut! :p) and you take all of them seriously. You make me feel special and so important. :)

And also coz even when you're in Sydney, your FB messages never fail to make me laugh!



Ling, baby. You've been there for me in more ways than I can describe.

From picking me up all the time and sending me home in the middle of the night. From taking care of me when I've had too much vodka to drink to taking care of my heart when I was so sure it was breaking. From making sure I get out of the house and not spend all my time watching DVDs to making sure I don't get home too late.

This is for always thinking of me, caring about me and loving me.



*sigh* Jam. Where to start with you?

You drive Ling and I CRAZY all the time with your annoying-ness but I wouldn't have you any other way. :)

Because I know you love me more than anything (DON'T DENY IT!) and because I love you more than anything too. Because I know I can call you at 2am in the morning and you'd come running. Because you'll always be there for me and because your support means so much to me.



Quin, we had a silly fight in high school that practically ended our friendship. But you know how people say if it's meant to be it will happen? I guess that this, is meant to be then.

We've grown up so much since high school, we've both changed for the better and I'm so glad that we're friends again because what we had, really was to precious to lose. And I don't plan on losing it again.





Ying, Rah, Mei and Nads.

IB would have been 100x worse without you guys.

We stood by each other when we needed the support. We made each other laugh when all there was were tears. We were there with encouraging words when all we were told was failure. We got through IB in one piece, what more can I say?



Aaron Ong! For all those MSN conversations where I poured my heart out to you and you never told a soul, never judged me and still love me. :) Now that it's on my blog and people ask you for juicy stuff about me so they can bitch about me, YOU BETTER NOT TELL THEM! Because I have lots of juicy stuff about you too and I KEEP LOGS! :p



Em, Kylynn and Carmen.

Because the three of you make me laugh in ways I cannot describe and you took me away from the horrible reality of 2008 whenever we were together, even if it was only for awhile. :)



Max, you put up with me and survived. How can I not include you in this? :)

For the times you made me smile and because you give the most amazing hugs!





T4YP 2008! :D:D:D

The most amazing bunch of people EVER! You could not meet a more different group of people but yet, there is so much love, so much passion and so much care amongst us that if it was turned into food, we could feed a country.

To all of you, you have made such a difference in my life and it was truly and honour to work with each and every one of you.

This is to the friendships that we have built. May these friendships never end because they mean the world to me.



You who is there for me for everything, anything, everytime, all the time and it means so much to me.



You were there for me in my darkest time and you understood what I was going through.

You got me through it and without you, I would not have made it.

This friendship knows no boundaries.



:) KitKat! You're more a part of my 2009 than my 2008 but because you're SO special and I love you tons and tons, so you're here too. :)

This is for all our late night chats, our apple tree moments, our babykins/cakes, CC SHUP-ing, our shopping/fashion trips/chats, riding on rides that I was sure would kill me, our pink stiletto heel, rubik''s cube and bird cage necklaces, our multiple silly, lovey-dovey, nicknames, our FB and Bebo-ing, our camwhoring in the back of the car, CINEMAS AND VILLAGES, John Pat-ing, crocodiles, eating shrimp and prawns and the American/British-ness of it all!

May it never end!

And of course, I save the best for last.

2008 has taught my what and who is important.

My family is and always will be the most important in my life.

Because they will always love me for whatever and whoever I am.

Mummy, not many mothers and daughters have the relationship that we have. You are more than a mother to me, you are also my bestfriend.
Who else will teach me all that you have taught me?
When I fall down, you tell me to get up, you dust my knees, give me a kiss and point me in the right direction again. You run beside me and when I get tired and want to give up, you shout encouragements and you hold me hand so that I know you're there. But you would never carry me because it is my journey, not yours.
You have taught me to be proud of who I am, to be who I want to be and to stand out from the crowd.
You have given me the most important thing a parent could give their child. You have given me the ability to think for myself, form my own decisions and opinions and be confident of who I am.
This is because you are the BEST little brother anybody could ask for, simple and straight to the point.
I would run around the world twice for you and I know that you would do the same for me.
I am and always will be a daddy's girl.
Because I know you are behind me every step of the way, everytime.
Because even with your crazy schedule, you remember to buy me Famous Amos cookies exactly the way I like it. No nut.
Because of all you do so that Bryan and I can have the best.
Because you remember every little thing I talk about.
Because you respect my opinions and decisions even when you think I am making a mistake.
Because you love me, regardless or what I do and say.
Grandpa and granny, because when I cry, you cry, when I smile, you smile and when I laugh, you laugh.
Because blood will always, always, ALWAYS run thicker than water.
Regular updates to be resumed very soon. :)

I'm Gonna Take My Time

Helloooooo! :D

Don't kill me!

Updates soon!

I promise one SUPER KILLER UPDATE! CONFIRM CRY! :p Check back in 1 or 2 days! PROMISE!

OMG, IT'S 2009!
