Thru a roach's eyes..

One freakishly stormy night, when wind was howling madly outside, tree branches scrapped hoarsely against the window panes, crackling thunder and blinding flashes of lightning, in a peaceful neighbourhood, in a lovely house, there stayed a lovely family of roaches.

Ah pa roach: Aiya! How to go out hunt for food now. So scary leh!
Roachlets: Aiya! Ah pa! Nevermind la! You just stay at home and tell us a scary bedtime story, lo!
Ah pa roach: Ha? You all want scary bedtime story? Ah ok la! You all sure ha! Ready?
Roachlets: READY!

And the story telling began.....

Ah pa: It was a year ago when this happened. During a dark, stormy night, you ah pa went out into the kitchen to look for food for your pregnant ah ma. Into the vast, wide and open kitchen. Very big, lo, the kitchen ah pa tell you. It's a thousand measurement if use ah pa's feelers!
Kids: WHOA!!!!!! *extremely amazed!* SO BIG!!
Ah pa: Ya! Ok. Continue. So, ah pa was in the kitchen, la. Looking for food. It was really really late hours at night. When all the neighbourhoods were peacefully quiet. Lights were off and everyone was happily sleeping cosily in their own bed. So, ah pa thought ah pa's food hunt will go smoothly. The food storage was near. Ah pa can smell it already. Ah pa thought to myself, if ah pa bring home the food, your ah ma will be very very happy for sure, one! So, ah pa went nearer to the food. But! Little did ah pa know what came creeping behind ah pa. Little did ah pa know that there was a particular human whom did not sleep. Little did ah pa know that the human will come into the kitchen looking for food!
Kids: *in full suspense mode*
Ah pa: The human! Chose to keep the lights off! Did not on the light, lo! Slowly, slowly and without a single sound of footsteps, the beast came walking nearer to ah pa. Ah pa was caught unaware! And the gigantic foot came down, just like that, directly onto ah pa's head! *with actions and movement of foot stomping on the ground*
Kids: *screams and squeals* Oh My Gawd, ah pa!!! What happened then???
Ah pa: Ah pa thought ah pa died on the spot and can not come home to see your ah ma and all of you already, lo. Then, as though ah pa's prayers were heard! The foot went up and with a weak breath, ah pa made an attempt to run. The human went crazy, lo, because it did not get to kill off your ah pa. It went off screaming and stomping the ground and up the stairs. Ah pa was so terrified. Ah pa hid underneath the fridge straight away.
Kids: *sighs of reliefs* And then, leh? And then, leh?
Ah pa: And then. Ah pa waited a few minutes to regain ah pa's strength. Then, ah pa set out to go home straight. But thank goodness ah pa waited a while, lo. Because the human went and brought it's army! They tried to search for ah pa. But your ah pa is just too smart for them. Your ah pa had a strategic plan. So ah pa hid out of sight. And then true enough, lo! The humans went off because they can not find ah pa so they gave up. They off the lights and ah pa ran home. And here ah pa is now. Happy and alive with all of you. The end. Now go to sleep lo.
Kids: *hugged ah pa* Ah pa! You are our idol! You are so geng, lo! We are going to tell our friends in school what happen. Humph! Show them whose ah pa is the best! Good night ah pa!

And ah pa switched the light off of their bedroom and he left to the living room. Thinking back of that near-to-death experience. Thinking how lucky he was to be alive when he could have died being stepped on like his brother who lived in the same area. He closed his eyes and silently pray a short prayer feeling thankful.

..oo00oo..oo00oo..oo00oo..oo00oo..ooo00oo..oo00oo..oo00oo..oo00oo..oo00oo..oo00oo..oo00oo..

And I dedicate the story above to Jay. Happy reading to y'all!

After happily ever after

So, right~ Due to the fact that Christie Wong had been spending a lot and her wallet is currently bleeding profusely, she has finally decided to share this morale-ful story she heard few months back.

Without doubt, I am very sure all of us are pretty familiar, or should I say, mastered the story called 'Cinderella'. Well, if you were to pretend you had forgotten how the story ended, let me refresh your memory in one sentence. Cinderella and prince charming, obviously, got married and live happily ever after. But what were the charming pair facing AFTER happily-ever-after was untold. Puzzled at why I begin this post with 'Cinderella'? Thinking that I may be off topic from my opening post? Wait till you read the story which I am about to post right after this paragraph.

--oo00oo-- The story begins --oo00oo--

Cinderella and prince charming lived a happy married life. Living in a wonderful gold plated mansion with 10 Porsches, and more to come, countless number of butlers and maids and having her father-in-law, whom they nicknamed him 'the King', the president of this big shot company, which will not be stated here due to privacy purposes. Cinderella is dearly loved and respected by many for having known to be the best wife and daughter-in-law any family would love to have. Being treated like an absolute princess and never needed to lift a pinky to do anymore house chores, Cinderella's life sounded absolutely like what any girl would love to have.

Because Cinderella did not get the chance to shop a lot during her unmarried life previously, she can definitely do that now. However, little did people in her neighbourhood know, Cinderella was slowly turning shopaholic. She started spending excessively from purchasing expensive branded goods to flying overseas just to have dinner or lunch or breakfast whenever she liked. She did not stop spending, which got prince charming worried about her condition.

The King soon found out that they are at the verge of having a financial crisis, so he disowned prince charming and Cinderella until Cinderella is willing to snap out of her awful, awful hobby. Now, prince charming had to find a job all by himself but having being the pampered son of the King, there were not many jobs which were suitable for him ('cuz he was stupid and had ZERO skills). So anyway, he got back to his low-cost rented home one night..

Prince: Sigh~ Honey~ I'm home already lo. Boss fired me. My first day of work some more lo.
Cindy: What? Again, ar? Why you so stupid one! Aiyo! Nevermind! Go eat your dinner.
Prince: Sigh~
Cindy: Ouh, by the way, hor. Nah! Letters for you.

*Prince charming opened huge stack of 'letters'*

Prince: WAHLAU! Why so many bills one! What are all these? HA? YOU STUPID WOMAN! You spend again!
Cindy: What? Where got! I buy only things I really need lo ok!
Prince: You need bust enhancer for what? No one will look at you anymore lo ok, you stupid woman!
Cindy: *Pissed*
Prince: Wahlau! You think we don't have enough bills now izit? You SIAO ZAR BO! You think I can pay ar? I don't have a steady job with good pay lo ok! And you lazy pig don't want to work!
Cindy: Fine lo! I will go look for work tomorrow lo! I will find a job with good pay and you will shut up!

*And they both went to bed angry that night*

But unfortunately for Cinderella, because of her tainted reputation, she can no longer find a decent job. So she ended up washing dishes behind the Kopitiam's kitchen. Prince charming started working and juggled a job in the day and one at night. Life became harder for the both of the legendary super power couple.

*One day, Cinderella had a flashback*

Cindy: (In deep thoughts) If that time I didn't spend so much, so uncontrolably, ah-pa (the King) won't kick us out lo. Why did I spend so much that time leh? Hai~ How stupid I was that time. If I listen to ah-bi (Prince charming) and don't spend on unncessary things, we will probably still get to live in a decent average home and ah-bi will probably get a decent job, lo. Hai~

*The couple got home together one night*

Cindy: Bi~ I'm sorry. I was stupid lo before. *Cries*. Bi, lets go back to ah-pa and ask for forgiveness. I learned my lesson already lo Bi. Sobs. Poor you. Sniff. Look at your head. It is already balding lo. And it is all my fault. Sob.
Prince: *Smiles* It is ok la Bi (short for Baby). Nevermind. Lets go ask ah-pa in the morning, k?

*They cuddled each other to bed and for once, they got to bed angryless*

King: UUUUIIIIHHHHHHHH???? What are you two doing here?
Cindy: Ah pa~ I am sorry. I will not repeat what I did before. Please let us back here with you, can? Sobs. I promise if I spend on unnecessary stuff again I will kick myself out. I learned my lesson already, ah-pa. Please forgive me.
King: *Easily touched* Sniff. Sobs. Come in. Sob. Ouh I miss you two so much lo. Sob.
Cindy: Sobs. I will tell this lesson to the child when she is out from my tummy. Sobs.
King: *Surprised* HA? You pregnant ar? HAHAHAHAHAHA! *hugged Cinderella* Ah boy! You worked hard ha! *winked at prince charming*.

--oo00oo-- The end --oo00oo--

That is the end of the story. Now you will see how it linked to my opening post. I heard of this story months back. Now I am going to share it because I am sure Cinderella wants all of us to know the lesson she learned. And from August onwards, Christie will fast from spending and shopping and buying unnecessary stuff for one month. Hey~ one month is torture enough ok when mega sales are not even over yet! Sigh~

*CHRISTIE WILL BE FASTING FROM SHOPPING FOR ONE MONTH*

EXTREME Bee-Ai-Em-Bee-Ou-Ess!!

Okay~ Lets start with the usual opening..

So, there was this one fine day, well, okay~ not exactly fine. It was a drizzly noon last semester. Not at all heavy. More or less insignificant little droplets. INSIGNIFICANT!!! I parked my beautiful, white, shiny PORSCHE in the school parking lot, which right after that, I started my journey in little princess's steps towards my classroom along the lovely shady walkway from the parking lot. In front of me, by the side of the pillars of the walkway, were a guy (Guy 1) and a girl (Girl B). Running towards them frantically was another girl and we shall call her 'Girl A'.

(Looking at Girl A);
Girl B: Ouh! There she is. Finally!
Guy 1: Hahaha~

(Girl A was running nearing);
Girl A: *Squeals* EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! EW EW EW EW EW EW EW!!!!!!!!
Guy 1: *Purely puzzled* What? What disgusting thing did you see? Where? Where?
Girl B: What is it? What is it?
Girl A: EW EW EW EW EW!!! *squeals helplessly*

(Girl A finally reached the pillar where Girl B and the guy stood);
Guy 1: So, what is it? What happened?
Girl B: OUHHH!! *caught on and answered in a very matter-of-fact tone* It's the rain. Like, Ew!
Girl A: I know, right? *flicking away teeny tiny droplets of raindrops* ERGH!!!! EW~~~~~~~
Guy 1: ......................

And THAT was the end of a bimboful last semester. Which, now, we will come to a new semester.

Today, is my 2nd class in campus for the FIRST study week of the 13-weeks-semester. Little did I know, the SAME TWO BIMBS came out of the same lecture as I was and was walking just right behind me. Today (do take note) is an EXTREMELY SUNNY and fine day. Not the slightest drop of rain in sight nor felt. In the same spot of the walkway.......

Girl A: Ou My GAWD!!! We are, like, walking out! And, Ou My Gawd! It is, like, so SUNNY!
Girl B: Like, yea! I know, right~
Girl A: Wait! Let me take out my shades. And, ou f**k! Where is my lotion?
Guy 2: Didn't you put that thing on you already just now?
Girl A: Like, yea! So? It is f**king sunny right now! Ergh~
Girl B: Grossed out!
Guy 2: What the! It is not even piercing heat! It's a nice sunny weather after the rain!
Girl A: *Shocked* Do you know how many people DIED because of skin cancer?
Guy 2: What? *Laughed out REALLY loud* Then, just DIE la you!
Narrator: Ouch~
Girl A: Yerh! So bad lo you! *Hits guy*
Guy 2: What the f**k! What was that for?
Girl B: *Giggles*
Girl A: *Giggles*

And THAT is the end of another bimboful story I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to remember and tell my future kids and their future kids and to be carried down the family line.

To my dear Chee Chak..

Dear Chee Chak,

Hey, how are you? Its been a while since I've heard from you. How have you been? I am doing well here. How is everything back home? Are you having fun running the whole country by yourself? Is everything going great and fruitful? The peasants, the harvests, the blue bloods, well, the kingdom.

Okay! Time to cut the crap. Enough of introductions. So, dear Chee Chak, I made up my mind to post a 'letter' and dedicating it to you here. I do not know why I did this but I just thought that at times when your 'disease' starts acting up, I am hoping this will help cool your temperature down a little. Well, 'cuz you know, you are cuckoo at times *toothy grin*.

..~~oo00oo~~..

Dear Chee Chak, I had a sudden mood to write you something here right after you told me about your fruitful breakfast event. I was excited. I was happy for the both of you. Well, at least the both of you let out mutual feelings for each other. But knowing you, when something good comes your way, you will start to doubt and thinking about having dark, evil, thunderry clouds hidden behind it. Therefore, I am going to bet on the fact that after having to tell me the happy event which happened over the breakfast table, you will start to wonder if this is really meant to happen, if this person is who you want to be with and will this person be the one person who is different from the rest you have met before.

Honestly, Chee Chak, I, too, doubt if this person really share the mutual feeling you have for this person. But, after what you had told me, I can be 99% confident that this person, though annoying enough to say this, is genuinely in love with you (p/s: I am leaving 1% out because I can not give you full marks. *smiles*). As you know, this person is a blockhead. A hardheaded, stubborn, egoistical and a cold-rock! It is very likely that whoever was to hear about this story of yours will decipher this person as a prat who only wants things done his way and is hard to be forced into doing something he does not want to. This, Chee Chak, may sound like a bad quality. Well, actually, it IS a bad quality. But, try looking at it in a different perspective. You will see a good quality in it, 'cuz being this stupidly stubborn, when this person does give responses or apologizes or shows TLC, they are sincere. Yin and Yang, right? ^^

Also, Chee Chak, I want to tell you that, I am pretty much guessing that you are still not convinced about this. You will argue that everytime you tried to be cheery or tried to bring him to respond to your conversation, you will not get the result or reply you want. That is because, Chee Chak, you are asking for too much and think too far ahead. Knowing you, you will probably start planning on what to ask and picture how the conversation will go from there. DON'T! 'Cuz if you did not get that reply you pictured, even if he gives a positive respond, you will perceive it as a negative.

Dear Chee Chak, I hope you know that it is not easy for blockheads to open up to someone else that much. Your blockhead did. It is something you should be proud of. When opportunity comes knocking, grab it. You may like it or you may not like it in the end, but at least you took the opportunity to give both of you a chance to try it once more. Giving it a go will not harm. Who knows, things may turn out better than we thought. So what if the characters and attitudes are different. You two have a similar feeling. Isn't that something to be pleased about? You said that you will learn to go with the flow. If you give up when the flow is coming in, that is like going AGAINST the flow. Why pushing it away when this comes in like fate?

You will probably argue that you do not know how you two can stay together. Why do you want to hastily think of that now, when neither of you really did get to know each other? Do not try to be a psychic for yourself. It is not healthy. Have fun with it. The process is the fun part. You will grow with the process. It will be a stupid decision and extremely hasty to just let go when you both, now, knew of each others feelings. You are only scaring yourself. You may be scared of getting yourself hurt. But, like I said, that is a process. You can not just have a 100% flawless relationship. You need rain before rainbow! Roses need thorns to grow beautifully! If you want this, then fight for it! Do not let go! Screw what other people might say. Do not let your own 'issues' or let his attitude stop you both from going further. You do not have a third eye, you know. You do not put an end to your fairytale just like that without having to write out the body of the story.

I, of course, may be wrong. But, I am truly happy when I heard about the breakfast event. You can continue doubting anything you want, of course. I will not try and stop you. But, if you do not try going into it, you will never know what you are missing out. You may even accidentally gave up on a chance towards a happy beginning. You DO remember how stupidly we were when we were young to let go of many good opportunities, right?

Chee Chak! Just go with it! Why fight with opportunities which comes your way? Go and give it a try and have fun!

SCREW YOUR ISSUES!!!

Give it a go and do not worry about anything nor try to control yourself or try to b someone you are not while you are giving it a try. Trust me! You will have fun with it. And in return, that person will, too, have fun. Why stop the fun at the breakfast event? GO and CREATE MORE memories for the both of you! Come on! You can do better than stopping here. DO us PROUD! You know what you should do from there! You have your answer with you! You just need more confirmations and approvals. And I will tell you now! YOU DO NOT NEED CONFIRMATIONS AND APPROVALS! This is YOUR relationship! Not any of us. Only you know this person better than any of us. Do trust in yourself. Do not always bring yourself down to a low lifeless state! That is not why he likes you! He DOES like you for who you are. Have some faith in this blockhead.

And THOSE are all I have to type for now. If I go on and on any longer, I can publish this in booklet form. BUCK UP! WE ARE ROOTING FOR YOU! XOXOXOXOXOXOXO!!!!

JUST DO IT!!

Dear silly monkey,

JUST DO IT!!! BREATHE!!!

MONKEY!! YOU CAN DO IT!! YOU CAN DO IT!!

You can do it.. right??

SCREW IT!! JUST DO IT!!

*breathe breathe* *out of breath* *woozy!* *FLOPS!*

Christie's flushes of pride!!

Ok! Been a true environmentalist for the past 2 weeks now. So this freaking presentation better be a real kick a** one! HOOTS!

And this little poster below?

YEA! CHRISTIE CREATED THAT HERSELF!

Of course, she saved a couple of images from a couple of sources. But she DID stick them together and did this and that and then, VOILA!! A whole new and different creation created!! I am SOOOOO very proud of myself (and am TOTALLY NOT ASHAMED to admit that!) and therefore, I MUST AT LEAST SHOW THIS FRIGGING THING OFF!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! *Evil laughters*

P/S: NO! I AM NOT KIDDING! I SO TOTALLY DID THAT MYSELF! *more evil laughters*

P/P/S: To the wonderful sources I got the pictures from and totally transformed them into something new, I want to honorably THANK all of you! THANK YOU!

P/P/P/S: PEOPLE!! I totally did not do this and let it go to waste, right~ That will be absolutely daft of me. No way, jose~ So..

DO YOUR PART PEOPLE!! SAVE EARTH!! STOP GLOBAL WARMING!! EVEN A FREAKING TINY ACT OF HEROISM AND MAJESTICALLY SAVING EVEN A MINUTE OF ENERGY BY EACH OF US WILL MAKE A MASSIVE DIFFERENCE!!

Do you believe in magic

Ok. No matter how boring these may sound to you guys, I will still have to post something about these stuff.

Ever since we were infants till toddler-hood till rebelling teenage-hood till the time we are a fully grown adult, "Happily Ever After~" will usually be the ending of a romantic fairytale or a romantic story. And whoever can forget quotes such as 'Love At First Sight' or 'Nothing Is Impossible' or 'Opposites Attract' or 'Chivalry Is Dead' or 'What Is Yours Is Yours' and the list goes on and on and on.

For a whole month of March, there were numerous stories told to me and scenes witnessed by me which is a real eye-opener for me to see how skeptical I was towards these famous sayings. Ok. Not all of them. I am still not convinced with 'love at first sight'. Maybe 'love at first sight - regrets come after' will convince me but otherwise, nope!


'HAPPILY EVER AFTER' only happens in fairytales, no? NO! Ok~ I agree that we may not know what happened to Cinderella or Snow White AFTER their wedding ceremony in the hands of their fated Prince Charmings. In the REAL WORLD, happily-ever-afters do exist. Well, everyone has an option. They can choose whether to stay happy or otherwise. Planned well and smooth-easy-goingness and everyday will be a Valentines Day for you. Since fairytales are told one-sidedly, who knows what might happen if the witches or enchanted magical evil creatures planned their way through well enough, like maybe using their magic powers or potion to make them eternally beautiful or clean their property or communicate with little cute creatures like Sleeping Beauty and Princess Giselle, the witches themselves might even ended up with someone handsome and live happily ever after!!!!!!!

Most of us tends to keep the memory of the past relationships so tightly that it is close to impossible to start and accept a new relationship. Yes, it is hard to let go. But if it is meant to be, it is meant to be. It is like keeping a bird in a cage. The pitiful creature, tied up unable to fly freely and tweet with other feathered friends of its. Let it go for once, if it flies back to u, it is meant to be yours. If it does not, then why force it to come back and lock it with you. Of course I am not just saying these for the sake of saying it. I have full and strong proofs that 'what is yours is yours' is real and a solid statement. In short, I will definitely not pass this bragging-chance to tell the world that MY COUSIN IS GETTING ENGAGED TO THE SAME WONDERFUL MAN AFTER 3 YEARS OF A BREAK UP! WOOTS! *jumps around in extreme excitement*.

Also, CHIVALRY is definitely not quite as dead in today's era as we think it is. I will dedicate this part to this friend of mine whom, even though it did not work out the way intended, faced the defeat ever-so admirably. Not giving up, he did a number of things to honor the doodette he likes. Showering her with poetry, loves, gifts and treating her like a princess.

Ok. After all those, this is actually the main highlight of this post.

'Nothing is impossible'. Mixing something totally different, you may ended up getting something totally new and beautiful.

A number of you might know what happened exactly for me to post about these stuff. How two truly different people can ended up being together. I am definitely not talking the religion way. But in terms of personality, capability, performances, mentally and physically differences, and yet, they fell in love with each other and without hesitation (literally WITHOUT hesitation) they got together and totally shocked the circle (it did, didn't it!!!! WAHAHAHAHA!!). They ARE both different from appearance, tastes, emotionally, mentally, personality, characteristics, basically EVERYTHING about the pair of them are different. None matched each other in fact. Yet, they definitely must have found something possibly similar between them which attracted them towards each other. They are truly a pair of 'opposites attract'. I DID NOT MAKE THIS UP! IT IS CLOSE TO IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE THESE STUFFS UP! I swear in the name of the many beautiful CAKES that all these are true.

Yin and Yang truly lived up to their names. Black and White. Gold and Silver. Cats and Dogs. I could not say it more. It is definitely indescribable. But my eyes were truly and magnificently opened the day the news was told to me. I was regretful how unconvinced I was towards the 'opposites attract' statement. But now, only now, that I truly understand how wrongly I have misjudged the statement *dramatic*. I, Christie Wong, hereby, totally and truthfully and solemnly accept this statement to be the truest statement of all. Thank you!

P/s: The picture above~ That is a bull and a pig. Their babies will be called 'bullets' or shorter, little 'pugs'. The end!

Something different about me..

Ok~!

Here goes!

As promised (to you-know-who-you-are *smirks*), I will dedicate a post about the interesting presentation I will soon be doing this coming Monday in my Managerial Communication class. We (my tutorial mates and I) are to prepare, bring and present 4 objects which signify each and everyone of us. It is pretty much like 'show and tell'.

1. Object 1: An item which people recognises me as or associate me with or will think of me when they see that item.
2. Object 2: An item which shows a hidden area or a hidden personality of yourself.
3. Object 3: An item which a relative or a close friend will describe you with.
4. Object 4: An item chosen from a partner in class on how he/she percepts you.
   

So, obviously, without hesitation, I did the object 3 right after tasks were given out. So this is what the Bestie described me as: A COLOURFUL LOLLIPOP! Reason being: Christie is colourful and cheers her up like how a lollipop can cheer a little kid up *smiles*. So Object 3 was settled in less than an hour.

Next, out of curiousity, I asked the close friend back hometown. To my surprise, this is how she described me as: A Clown! *LAUGHS!!* Reason being: I am funny and I cheer people around me up. Kinda like brightening up the atmosphere and stuff. Hehehehe. (Sorry, girl! But I could not stop laughing when you told me that! HAHAHA!)
It was then I told the other close friend back hometown about the Clown which she laughed her a** off and totally overly enjoying the moment imagining me in a red nose, cycling and juggling and wearing McDonald's yellow shoes! As soon as she stopped laughing, she told me her point of view. This is what she describe me as: Bunny and Fluffy = Fluffy Bunny. Reason being: Fluffiness due to the fact I am overly crazy about cute stuffs and Bunny due to the fact that bunnies are innocent creatures and to her, I am extremely innocent.

Since I need only 1 object for each task, I proceed to survey and ask a few more friends on what kind of item or object they will recognised me instantly and associate me with. Task: Object 1.

Here are some answers I received.

• CAKES! Why? Just because I will go extremely hyper and absolutely adore cakes. Therefore, to some, when they see or eat or buy an extremely lovely decorated and delicious cake, 'Christie' will popped up in their minds.
• STARBUCKS! Why? Just because I am a Starbucks hardcore fan and an addict. To some of them, from the fact I always choose Starbucks Coffee to study or to finish up my assignment or plainly just to hang out and chit chat, they associate me with Starbucks Coffee.
• TEDDY! To most of my mates, teddies = Christie. Undeniably, I am a fan. I tend to squeeze or cuddle any cute teddies in any gift shops.
• ICE CREAMS! I have close mates telling me that the only way to keep me less hyper and to be less bouncy and annoying and to avoid me singing and dancing and jumping around while hanging out with them in malls (in short: a way to control Christie's annoying habits), is by feeding ice creams to me while walking in malls. Due to the fact that I will be fully concentrated on the ice cream and I will forget about my dancing, moving around and singing.
• FOOD! You will notice by now that people tend to associate me with anything to do with food. For some, instead of categorising which food group I am into, they gave up and associate me with anything to do with food in general. During my study times in KL, this is what my mates will hear from me all the time "I'm hungry~~~~" and off we will go to hunt for food!
• LOVEY-DOVIES! To a few of my friends who knew, I had been listening and taking in too many love stories since like I-can't-even-remember.
• BUBBLES! Reason being: Christie-is-BUBBLY! LOL!
• This is long. A CHOCOLATE BROWNIE WITH VANILLA ICE CREAM! The reason is interesting too. Reason: Christie is sweet (vanilla ice cream) yet she is mysterious in some ways (melty chocolate brownie). LOL!!

Isn't it interesting to know what and how different people will have a different perception of you and your personality and your character? So you readers! Give it a try. You will be very amazed to hear what answers you will be getting. At some point it is boosting and motivating and the results can help you change and improve yourself *smiles*

And with that, I shall end this post here!

Have a freaking hopping day!! HOOTS!!

P/S: That is a photo of a hopping bunny from behind!

Happy birthday, Girl!!

Dear Sa *^3^*,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Hehehehe!! Though Jule and I are not back in KK to celebrate your big day with you but we will not forget your special day. I'll bet you had lotsa fun! How are you feeling on this very special day? Isn't it great to feel like a young lady? A real young adult? Hehehehe! Well, since you are not here to celebrate with us and we are not there to celebrate it with you in person, this blog post will be dedicated especially for you. Though it is nothing big or special but it is your post now. Hehehehehehe.

Eventhough we were not that close during high school times, but I am truly glad I did get to know you when we were in primary school and got to be really good friends now. You are a treasure. A real keep. So, unfortunately for you, I will be one of the girl whom will be bugging you crazily for the rest of your life! MUAHAHAHAHHAHAAH!! You still remember how we use to have like recess meeting at our little meeting spot around the freaking big tree in primary school? *laughs* That was funny la~ How we played, bitched and had bitter-sweet moments with the rest of our little 'gang' then, or should I say 'little family tree'. Then, something happened in between where we got split up into two groups. HAHAHAHAHA!! Those were the silly little kids days~ But I am really glad I get to be part of your circle now and how incredibly fast all four of us just cliqued together.

Well, I will not type too many corny and mushy stuff. But just remember, no matter where we all go or which path all of us get separated and chose to go, we will definitely be the best of friends. Have a great day today, girl!!! A new year up ahead of you!!!!!! May dreams and wishes come true today for you!!! LOVE YOU!!!

And!!!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Happy 1st anniversary.. in advance! *^3^*

To you readers who have no clue what this is about, let me do the honors by telling you what this is all about. Well, my wonderful buddy, partly-sister, bestie, the person who managed to influence and plays a big part in my life, Julie Chaw Chui Yee (dang! it reli rhymes! LOL!) and the man who captured her big, lovable heart, Issie, will be celebrating their first ever and one year anniversary soon on the 14th of March, 2009 *beaming with pride*. No~ they are not married, yet. This is their first year dating anniversary. Ok~ to some of you it may sound like not much of a big deal, but it is to me and I am determine to let the world know about it just because I am excited for them! Nyeh!!>.<

Dear Yee,
How are you feeling? Excited? Ecstatic? Blissful? Totally very very in love? *smiles* (I am making this sound as though you are getting married aren't I? LOL!) Well, I am very excited for you and I can't describe how very excited I am for you. I still remember the first time you told me about this particular man, your feeling and stuff. How you experienced every flavour imaginable before entering this whole relationship. Bitter, sweet, sour, spicy, sometimes odd and funky, etc. How you have little jitters and got lost along the way. I am very very glad you found your way about now. Well, things might go a little rough ahead but, what the heck! With this man by your side, you will not have a problem going through it. Of course, you have all of us, too, to push you ahead but with this man by your side, more than half the war is won already!! So what if there is a hole on the path you are walking on right now, right? The hole in your path can be fixed and beutified without problem (if Malaysian roads can do it, so can your road!) But, ouh well~ whatever to that for now. In the mean time, just kick back, relax and enjoy it, am I right? *smiles* One year! Can you believe what a long way you went through? It seemed as though it was only a month ago you told me you are going to give yourself and your life a chance to do what you want and not something which is traditionally planned! I am still very proud of you! I'll bet you learn alot of stuff through this, right? A true eye-opener, isn't it? Well, to tell you the truth, even though I supported you in this, I DID wonder if you will change and will be obsessed with your relationship. You didn't! So, no worries! You are handling like a pro! *laughs* Well, I won't write too very long. I just wanna tell you how very proud I am of you! WUV YOU!!!! XOXO!!

Dear Issie,
Yea~ There is a little note for you, too! (Bangga tak? *^^*) Well, I don't have anything much to say, though. Because, seriously, if I go on with a long one~ I can really come up with an essay. Anyway, back to the topic. Like I mentioned before, I did not know who you were then so I could not judge you well. But yea~ I DID judge you in some ways which I, Christie Wong, hereby openly apologise to Issie that I did think you were not a good fella, then. No kidding! I did not like the sound of you, then (jeng jeng jeng!!!!!). But when I first chatted with you (the first time I talked to you was through MSN right? Did i remember wrongly? No, right?) and through the way you talk about Julie and the many things you did and tried to do, I sorta knew I judged you too fast and was very wrong about stating you as a not-so-great-of-a-dood. It was, then, I was extremely determined to not let your silly girl lose a great dood like you. I am very glad she did not. I have full faith that you will not do anything which will make her cry badly (unless she is surprised and cried tears of joy, la~ that will be an entirely different story~) and I am sure she thinks the same, too. Just look at her blissful expression on her face whenever she talks to you, about you and when she is with you. You may not know this but do you remember the first time the 3 of us went out together just because I said "the bestie has to meet the dood "? Her face was glowing and after knowing her for like so long~ that was the first time I get to see that kinda look on her face! LOL!! I am very happy for the both of you!! *squeals in excitement and runs around like a blonde bimbo*.

Dear both of you *^^*,
I know~ this post is corny. I do not know why I do it but I just now I want to do it and I DID it! There! Apparently bragging about this through the mouth is not enough~ HAHAHAHA!! Ouh~ This is not your anniversary gift if that is what you two are thinking! No no no~ Your gift will be something ENTIRELY different. It will not be something big. It will be cheap la~~~~~~~ I'll just have to hope you two will like it. Well, not like there is any choice for the both of you. Not-liking-it is not in the option actually. Whatever you two will be getting, even if you two do not like it, you two will have to, well not will-have-to, MUST pretend to be surprised and pretend to like it for the sake of me maximising my self satisfaction. Deal? *smirks* Ok~ I do not know how long this post is really going to be if I really continue yapping. So, here I will end this post. And!!!!!

HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY!!!!

Sie's aims..

After working, like say, for a week, I had totally decided that i will be thankful and will fully enjoy my soon-to-start-again new semester in campus. However, even though I might dislike sitting in the work-cubicle doing absolutely nothing at all, the good thing about this is that I sit around, doing nothing for the whole 8 hours and get my pay. Definitely no complains there.

Ok. Lets see. What shall I use my 2 months worth of pays on.

Things to invest in (See~ I am using the 'invest' term~):
1. Levi's Boot-Cut Jeans.
2. PSP (Under consideration though)
3. Dinner with mom and dad and I am paying!
4. A whole new wardrobe.
5. Sissy shoes!!!
6. Accessories for my white baby.
7. Erm~ Ok. No more. For now that is~ List will be constantly updated if needed. *Smirk!*

Ok! Done with my how-to-spend-my-2-months-worth-of-working-allowances list. I shall start with the usual list of what-I-want-for-christmas list. Ok~ Rename. What-I-aim-for-christmas list.

Oh~ Nah~ I am just kidding~ I just want peace and happiness and joyful harmony to fill the world this christmas *angelic expression with holy hymns complete with halo and angel wings*

Bleh! That is not going to happen. Ok~ Maybe I will add that in the list, too. But I am a material girl living in a material world. There! I admitted it! WOOTS!

Dear SANTA, I am being honest. That makes me a good girl this year. And I have a few teeny tiny things I would love to have. Thank you, SANTA! *Sweet innocent smiles across the face*.

Lets see~
1. Sony Dcam.

2. A wardrobe full of lovely clothings.

3. Lotsa lotsa pictures to fill up my album.

4. Christie's little wishes which no one knew about.

5. A ring bought at Tiffany's, a lovely pair of Jimmy Choo, a gorgeous Vera AWang's, a loaded bank account.

6. -Coming Soon-

See~ Those are not that hard to get aren't they. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. *More angelic smiles*

Goodness! I just realised that my christmas list got shorter! You lucky people! Just because I am capable of using my own funds now. BUT NO WORRIES PEOPLE! You will be showering me with lotsa gift, uh~ I meant, loves next year like normal again! *MORE innocent looking smiles!!!*

Disclaimer: This post is for Christie's own reference (for the how-to-spend-my-2-months-worth-of-working-allowances list). *MORE SMIRKS!* This is due to the fact that she is extremely bored now and felt like posting a blog post just because she needs to update her post.

Violet's infected with an odd viral disease!

Today: Wednesday, 12.09 a.m.
Location: Violet's royal chamber.
Issue: Pitiful viral infection.

This is how the story will begin.. Violet used to look like this when she had not begin her relationship with the dood called Tacks Bu-Ouk.. An exotic fella he was..

Slowly.. with the lacking of sleeps and her sweet sugary and yummy dosages and LOADS of hugs~ And too much of Tacks' corny jokes~ She slowly.. Evolved.. Day by day.. And this was how she looked like [picture below].. The process was a painful venture.. They called the process.. None other than.. The still-testing Pandafication.. Deadly! Little did she know, that Tacks infected with the virus and only he can spread this infectious, incurable disease! Ouh, how she trusted him~

The final stage.. After a period of time.. If the specimen has not dump and forget bout Tacks.. Psychologically, mentally and emotionally, the specimen will, then, suffer the severe and obvious symptoms of the viral infection.. The specimen will turn weak and a decreasing-in-size eyes all because of the attention Tacks needed day and night, 24/7 a week which causes lack of a lot of sleeps.. The specimen will, then, turned cranky and whatever and whenever the specimen wanted to say or do.. Please take note that most of the time, the actions, may they be verbally or visibly, do not make much sense..

The end.. *X-files' theme begins to play.. Slowly fading away..*

Whoops~

A month passed by and no updates from this rustifying blogspot! Well~ Ain't blogging till finals are over! WOOTS!!

Hugs and kisses! Loves and misses! <3<3<3

The Final Showdown..

It was a dark and windy night. I was in my studies, watching moving pictures, which they named it as 'ANIME', after a fine dinner. I was popping coffee-taste candies into my mouth while having a peaceful and pensive hour.

It was then, I knew, I was not safe. It appeared in front of me. Right on me. I knew a day like this will come. But it had never occurred to me that it came so soon. Undeniably, I was stunned. I was petrified. I was scared. I was ALONE. But I know I have to face this. I have to face my fear someday.

My mind was in a mess. I could not think. I did not react fast enough. The ENEMY came towards me and attacked me first. I was down. It was rough. The enemy backed off. Leaving itself space to dodge if I tried to use sudden attacks. What should I do? I thought to myself. I knew I had to stay calm.

Slowly, very slowly, I moved. I came up. I stood firm on the ground I was standing at. I knew I had to do this alone (well, partly due to the fact there was no one else in the room except me). The enemy saw me moved. It jumped. The enemy got nervous. My strong will shook it a little. I had my advantage, then. It was open. I could have plunged in and bring it down. Slowly, I took my first weapon. It saw what I was doing.

Neither of us moved. We were staring at each other. I was looking sternly at it with clear slight fear in my eyes. The enemy was looking at me, clearly noticing my fear and, with no doubt, was its advantage, its chance.. its opening. I was trapped. One wrong move, I might be down again. I moved a step forward. It moved to the side. Standing still again, I made a sudden move. I ATTACKED!

Unfortunately, the enemy was quick. It managed to dodge. Feeling its satisfaction and proud of itself, feelings it laughing with its purely evil and hateful laugh at me, I took up my second weapon. I ATTACKED! The weapon hit where it was standing. I could not see. It was dark. I could not see if it got hits. But, in vain, it cowardly went into hiding.

It was gone. But I knew I could not loosen up. I knew I was not safe until it ended. I knew I had to stay alert. I felt insecure. Who can come to my rescue? I thought to myself, again. I felt hopeless. I wanted to give in. I was scared. It did not appear. I knew it was watching my every move. It was waiting for an opportunity to ambush me.

Alas, I let my guard down. It tried to escape. It stealthily slithered pass me. But, fortunately, I saw it. It was stunned. I knew, one day, my NINJA trainings will come to use one day. It was thanks to my SENSEI whom taught me the art of feeling the AURA of the enemy.

I stood up! It tried to slither back quickly to its hide out. I took my weapon. I ATTACKED! I MISSED! It picked up pace from the miss. I did not give up. I can not give up! In quick reflexes, I took up my weapon. I SHOT! IT HIT! The enemy was down.

It was then, I muster all my courage and bravery. I went nearer to the fallen enemy which was striving to get up. I looked at it without the slightest mercy in my eyes. I knew VICTORY was in my hand. I took my last weapon. I let out the last hit. The final hit. Like a SAMURAI, the enemy bowed down with respect of itself. I swung the hit. I did it.

I SQUISHED THAT BIG FAT STRIPED HAIRY SPIDER!! WOOTS!!!

CHEERS!!! WOOHOO!!!

Questions?

Hey, Gang!

Upon at the verge of killing my assignment in front of me, I have decided to take a break and blog a little. Been hearing random questions asked by a bunch of middle-school girls. It is interesting to see the competitions formed between girls. So anyway, I was wondering about the many questions people (been eavesdropping) asked. Somewhat, there are basic questions which are mysteriously unanswerable.

BUT! Before all of that:

Disclaimer: This post is generally stating what MOST of the people in this current era will answer. NOTE: MOST! And 'MOST' does not have the same meaning and is not equivalent to 'ALL' or 'ALMOST ALL'. Christie Wong is not liable for any misinterpretations made by readers. Note: Under the 'useful and popular replies', they are smart answers [some]. So do not go thinking that it is offending you. Under 'reasons being', the main point of this is to clarify why is the question mysteriously unanswerable. And Christie is hereby admitting that these are all by her only! This is her blog and she will state what she wants to state no matter how brainless, unknowledgeable and stupid they can be. Cheers. *^^*

Special Occasions:
Question 1: What do you want for your birthday?
Description: Usually asked when birthdays of the 'asked' are around the corner.

Reasons being: 1) You will be seen as greedy and shameless to the enquirer (well, depending on their personality and mentality, too). 2) You might not get it. So why answer? 3) You might get it. But where is the surprise? 4) You might get it. And it may be only something close to what you want. 5) You will plainly feel uncomfortable answering that question just because everyone else will ask you that EVERY BIRTHDAY season. 6) You do not see the point of telling.
Useful and popular replies: 1) Anything, la~ 2) No need, la~ 3) Ha? I dunno oso o~ 4) Surprise me.

Question 2: So what did you get for christmas?
Description: Usually asked by 'kepoh' aunties to any younger-than-thems.
Reason being: Curious and plainly wanted to befriend the 'asked'.
Useful and popular replies: Erm~ Gifts?

Question 3: How much angpau did you collect? (Also asked: How much angpau MONEY did you collect?)
Description: Either to start a conversation when long-time-no-see time or want to compare (with utmost do-not-know-what-reason) or plainly want to ask and know and be done with.
Reason being: Usually interpreted as "why you want to know? You want me to spend lunch (options: dinner or breakfast) is it?" (note: the misinterpretations are usually never voiced out.) or just because one feels it is unimportant to inform others about the amount.
Useful and popular replies: Just enough to survive the month lo~ / Ok la~ / Definitely not as much as yours la (usable with or without knowledge of how much the other party collected) / Why you want to know ar? (used in a slightly soft tone to avoid offending the other party). Cheeky answers: Oh! How much angpau I collected? I think around 10 (optional) packets only. (Note: usually ends with an almost innocent and cheeky smile).

General Situations:
Question 4: So where / what do you want to go / eat for breakfast / lunch / dinner?
Description: Asked when in hungry situation (a.k.a.: hunger strikes.)
Reasons being: Too many choices / Not hungry / I want to eat this but I do not think you will want to have it / You choose, I describe / Out of manners / You pick. I am OK with anything. You are fussier and pickier (note: usually not voiced out.)
Useful and popular replies: Anything, la (alternative: Anything oso can la~) / You choose la. I am OK with anything. / I can't decide la. You choose la. (which will sometimes be continued with "ha? Why you wanna eat there / that?").

Academics:
Question 5: Have you finished your assignment / homework / thesis?
Description: Asked either as a greeting and an opening conversation or when plainly and genuinely wanted to know if the 'asking' is nearing the deadline.
Reason being: The 'asked' will think that the 'asking' will want to have a look at it and assuming that the 'asking' has a scanning-machined eyes and print out what the 'asking' had read into another piece of paper and make it his / her own.
Useful and popular replies: Ha? Er~ Why ar? / Oh! I finished already (and when asked "can I take a look at question 3?") Oh! I have not done that question yet. / Oh! I handed in already (note: question is "have you finished your assignment / homework / thesis" which carries basic answers such as "Yes" or "No") / Eh! Ouh My GAWD! I lost my pen! (or anything which comes in mind to divert the question).

Question 6: Can you teach me how to answer this particular question?
Description: Asked when one does not know how to answer a question.
Reason being: This question is usually interpreted as "can you give me your answer?".
Useful and popular replies: Oh! I dunno how to do oso o. What was it again ar? (tip: it is a useful diversion to ask the 'asking' back.) / Overlapping with the answer to Question 3: Ha? Er~ Why ar? / Another overlap: Oh! I have not done that question yet. / Er. Sorry ya. I dunno oso. Ask XX la~ (which is odd because the 'asked' mentioned he/she does not know how to answer the question and yet knew who to ask.)

Question 7: So what marks did you get?
Description: Asked during post-test or post-finals or post-assignments to either compare marks or asked out of manners to start and continue a conversation.
Reason being: Question is usually interpreted as "I want to know because if yours is lower, I'll be happy" or plainly because "I don't wanna know your marks and I won't bother telling you mine".
Useful and popular replies: Ok la~ *smiles and zipped* / It's Ok~ (what is the difference? The first one is informal reply while the second is a formal reply.) / Oh! I passed. / Not as good as yours la of coz~ (usually ends with a forceful short laugh) / OkOk only la~ (What is the difference? This reply has a double Ok stating that the result is averagely good or averagely moderate. Note: There is no averagely bad.)

Well? Is there anymore? I could not think of any. Well, SHARING IS CARING! Share some here and er.. Yea~ Share some here. *^^* REMINDER: I am not liable for any imaginary-offense and hereby, openly state that I use some replies in these post for some questions as well. There you go~

Clubbing..

Yo readers,

Before I start typing what was meant to be typed, read the following:

Disclaimer: This post is to be read from a point of view of only ONE particular person: Christie Wong! This is her blog which gives her absolute right to express whatever and however way she wants to. Readers have absolutely no right to say she offended anyone due to the fact that this is her blog and she is to post what she felt and what she see and want to post and not how and what the readers would and want to feel. Cheerio~ *^^*

Ok! Yup! Basically from the title, it is obvious what this post will be about. Of course I need to write something about this. How shall I put it. Ok. Lets put it this way. CHRISTIE IS NO LONGER A CLUBBING VIRGIN! Yes! SHE FINALLY STEPPED FOOT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A CLUB! Previously, this sentence was formed long ago even when I was a kid: I DO NOT LIKE CLUBBING!. This is what I formed after my first trip to the club: I DO NOT LIKE CLUBBING!. Go on. Try blinking and rubbing the eyes a few time. No, you are not seeing double. :) And yes! To some of you, you will probably be thinking "omg! It is her first time?". Ouh yes. Do not deny. I know people who thinks of clubbing as a next step to a higher level in life.

Hmmm~ Maybe this was not supposed to be how a real clubbing is like but the one I tried is definitely a put off and it is just adding to the point that I find clubbing a waste of time and money and everything else. I mean like, who created the fact that when clubbing, one needs to drink-drank-DRUNK, doing unnecessary stuff (go ahead, imagine!), smoking, looking absolutely spiffingly prosty-like and a wannabe-trying-too-hard to be cool and getting all high up. Well, I tried imagining what it will be like before going in. What I heard, which contributed to how I had imagined it to be, was pretty cool inside my head which I thought to myself "giving it a chance and a try won't hurt". Apparently, the imaginated picture shattered to pieces as soon as I stepped my foot in. So, clubbing rule #1: DRINK, DRANK, DRUNK AND MORE MORE MORE!

Of course there are a few decent people there, but, heck! Most of them were, ouh I do not know, trying too hard to impress maybe? I stood in a place, for almost half an hour, just to look around and explore. What is with the drinking-away-sorrow or come-to-me-but-damn-I-suck dances (where this fella was doing the cowboy roping on a girl and tried pulling her with that imaginary rope) or the I-am-giving-you-an-obviously-failing sexy killer stare or the I-have-no-$-to-buy-clothes-with-enough-clothing-materials-on or the 'lets drink drank and get drunk and get laid later' thingy, if you get what I mean. They were interesting to see. They were just unknowingly embarrassing themselves. Little kids trying to be cool and acting all-grown-up by smoking, drinking and hitting on people? Hence, clubbing rule #2: LOOK DUMB! WOOT!

Of course there are nothing wrong with the dancings and all. But what is with making out on the dance floor or touching almost every part of the body of the opposite gender or hitting on others on the dance floor? So that was what dancing in a club is like? All of those unnecessary actions? Ouh well. Maybe having the virgin-clubbing habit is making these hard to be accepted for me. But what I saw was like, ok, this couple (obviously) they were making out. After that they walked past me with the guy dragging the girl and the girl looked all high and 'worked-up'. 'WORKED-UP'! French kissing can do such a thing?! The same-gendered french kissing? It is not like I am going against it IF they are genuinely homos. But, heck! In their faces, it was obvious that they had only one purpose of doing it: GETTING ATTENTION! Gah! If you want attention so much, go and stand in the middle of the dance floor and start taking off your clothes, EASIER! Gosh! So this is what clubbing is about, huh. Clubbing rule #3: GRAB ATTENTION! QUICK! AND DESPERATELY!

Drinking? Ok, fine! Getting drunk and all will probably be the first in the clubbers-to-do-list. But drinking and wanting to add actions into it? Like drinking and letting the liquor drool and leak from the side of the mouth? Then wiping them off as though a heavy hard fight just ended? Why do you even want to drink it in the first place if you want to waste it like that? And NO it was not cool at all. From what I heard, you will not get drunk after just a few sips or one glass of liquor (but then again, I ain't liquor master. How would I know, right~). What is with the loud shouting and pretending to be drunk when you were obviously looking sane! Why do you even want to make yourself looking like an idiot anyway. But then again, the world is a more COLOURFUL place to be with UNIQUE and DIFFERENT people everywhere. Who am I to judge, right? Gosh, Christie, you are being a nonsensical prat. Right? Clubbing rule #4: LOOK DUMB! AGAIN!

Of course I have absolutely no right to criticise about the boomingly loud and deafening music which leaves you partially deaf and partly brain dead. What is clubbing without heart stomping music, right. But the deejays were cool of course. Knowing how to swing and change and control and work with music and making them smoothly flowing. Ouh and one part, if you want to check someone out, try working on the stare. Go practice using a mirror and check yourself out. Do not be the kind like standing in one spot and stare blankly with a 'doh~~~~~ uh~ doh?? uh? doh! doh!' look. It will not work. I repeat: IT WILL NOT WORK! Clubbing rule #5: CHECK THEM OUT!

And another thing. Was it written in the manual or the 'rules and regulations' or what-so-ever you call it. OUH! TRADITION! That smoking is a must INSIDE a closed-space club? And after that, blowing smoke into someone's face? Again, you did not look cool. You just look dumb for smoking inside. Get some real and true friends who can be straight-forward to you and tell you how stupid you look like then. Clubbing rule #6: INTO THEIR FACES THE SMOKE WILL GO! INTO YOUR FACE THEIR KNUCKLES WILL GO! RAH RAH!!

But, of course, there were others who just want to have fun and dance the night away in the club. Or just a little drink and chat the night away and looking at 'unbelievable' sights. Who would have thought in just an hour there were so many things can be seen and witnessed. Even on the dance floor, there were many many things to be seen. Ouh well. Those are my say. Go on! Do what you please to speak your speech. Prove me wrong if you must. *^^*

Some ending sentences: To you true clubbers, I apologize for all of these. But heck! I disclaimed it! WOOT! BRING IT ON!

Love is..

Hey all!

Well, not surprisingly, am sitting in starbucks again. After few macroecons run through, it is definitely time to stop looking at the crazy text book for too long. Hmmm~ what should I post about this time. After few 'sight-seeings' here, I felt like posting about this one.

The famous 'Love is blind'. It is pretty true if you think about it. Look around. You will understand why. It is like, when you are so very deeply in love, the flaws, no matter how big or how small they may be, will be seen as 'nothing' to you. People might say you deserve a better partner, but, of course, to you, everyone is wrong about it. It must have been something that person did which touched you so very deeply and all of their wrong-doings will be hidden from your view or you plainly choose not to see it due to the fact you are scared to lose that person. Your sight will be opened when, one fine day, another treasure comes along and top the position of the current one in your life. The problem with that will be you-will-have-to-wait-for-that-one-fine-day. Good things come to those who wait. Trust that sentence. Serious! It works. Once, a dear friend said "Love is stupid". It is not. It is something to cherish and experience no matter how bad or good it is. The problem is, it is blind. "Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit." - Peter Ustinov - A friend told me that it is more like we are willing to tolerate with it and it is not blind. (Think bout it darling. It is the same. Hehehehehe.)

Love comes in many ways, forms, looks and sizes. Watch 'Love Actually' or 'Love is Cinta'. You will get to see the many ways how love is shared. Sometimes, or should I say most of the time, you can feel or experience the presence. You will have a different feeling of care. Sometimes it comes straight and you see it directly in front of you. It is whether you want to accept it or block it away from you. If you did not get the 'love' you want from that special person, you are still getting endless ones from the people who care.

Love is not selfish. If it is, then it is not love at all. Selfish will be, like, example: A pretty and attractive girl, being popular among guys and loved by most. The Boy , in love with the girl deeply. the Girl knew about his feeling but the Girl has no intention to give the same feeling to the guy. But the Girl just like having that feeling of being like by the Boy. So she kept him hanging and knowingly kept him in pain and torture, even after the Boy opened his feelings to her. For those who are planning to toy around with the other poor unfortunate souls' feelings, put yourself in their position. How the heck would you have felt if it happened to you! For goodness sake, if you do not want to, CUT IT CLEARLY! If someone asked you "what about the future?" and you answered "well, I do not know what will happen in the future. It may work out it may still not." So what? That does not mean you can keep that person hanging till you really know what you want! It is either you give back what that person wants or help that person to move on and save their pride!! For goodness sake!

"To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down."
- Woody Allen - Hey, there will be rainbow only when it was after rain. A rose will not be a rose without thorns.

When you did not get your feelings back the way you want it to. You will start blaming that love will not go your way. Correct? Yes you did blame yourself for having such crazy luck. Well, it is not. It is a wonderful experience. Not everyone can go through such experience. Things like that will only make you stronger and build you up more. "Love doesn't make the world go round, love is what makes the ride worthwhile." - Elizabeth Browning -. "You do not choose love. Love chooses you.". So, if it is not meant to be, slowly let yourself out. It will not only hurt you, the people who care for you will equally feel sad with you. You do not want to appear to be that weak now, do you?

Somewhat personally, I think love is quite dangerous. At one point, it can bring out the evil side of the person and at another point, it can change a person into someone that person is not. I do not think it is right to say that you did not go through that point. Everyone will. After looking around, some homo-sapiens can turn into monsters (may it be green or poisonous). They can even start victimising the people around them just to get attention, even their good friends who stood by them all the time. You got his attention, fine! And then? You will start doing things which you think it is right but it did not go through your mind rationally. Another type will be, you will not be yourself in front of that special person to you. You will try to change yourself just to fit to their perfect partner criteria. You will start to feel uncomfortable of yourself. You will start feeling lost. News flash: First you need to ask yourself. Do you have a circle of friends which is an obvious answer. If they love you perfectly the way you are, so will the special people. If they do not, then it is their lose. It meant it-is-not-meant-to-be!

"Love is like a violin. The music may stop now and then, but the strings remain forever." - unknown - Which of course, reminds me of my late grandparents. That is definitely one good example to illustrate that quote, right? *smiles*

What is your relationship status?

Quite a familiar looking question, isn't it? Definitely openly and publicly found in facebook, friendster and most of the networking channels. It is an interesting question, actually. Well, at least, it is helping to let others who might be interested to know whether it is safe to hit on you. Of course, it consists of a variety of status for you to choose. The few popular ones are of course 'in a relationship', 'single', 'married' and 'it's complicated'. I will bet that if they have a 'not ready for a relationship' status, it will definitely be a big hit.

Well, I personally do not quite get what it's-complicated trying to imply. I mean, how complicated can it get if you are good enough to love yourself and make it simple? Of course you may argue that I do not understand what situations you are in. But, that gives you the excuse to use this status? How complicated? 1: If you broke off, then you are single. 2: If you are in love and single, then it is still single. 3: If you are in love and taken, then it is in-a-relationship. 4: If you are in love but you are not available due to the fact you are madly in love with that someone and that someone is madly in love with you, then it is just plain crazy because the both of you can already be in-a-relationship. So once, my friend surveyed her friend who was in a complicated status.

Friend A: So, how have you been lately? What's up?
Friend B: Oh, nothing much. You know. The usual complicated stuff.
A: So that is why the it's-complicated status?
B: Yup.
A: What about?
B: You know. The usual relationship problems. The guy said he likes me more than his girlfriend and his girlfriend does not know about this. We had sex together. We were happy together. He will break up with his girlfriend soon for me.

That will be only a little part of it. The complication? NONE! That is more like a I-AM-DESPERATE status. Another real life example of a complicated human being will be the following:

Confused boy: I don't know what is exactly going on between us. We broke off. Yet, I know we still like each other.

OR:

Girl: I don't know if we are officially named in-a-relationship 'cuz, like, we have never held hands or go any further. But, even so, he IS my boyfriend. It is just complicated.

Then, why broke off in the first place? Due to personal reasons? In my opinion, that is definitely a bad excuse. You love that someone. Yet you would not share your problem with that someone who cared. Then, what is the point of being in a relationship? And how can it be complicated when you do not even know if you are in a relationship? That is not complicated. That is just a complication YOU MADE UP!
The famous: Everyone-is-using-the-status-I-better-create-one-for-myself status.

Indecisive party: Gosh! I don't know what she is thinking or how is she feeling bout me.
Party's friend: Then, buck up! Go find out! ASK her!
Indecisive party: It is not as easy as you think. The situation is complicated. It needs time to think over. I can't just walk to her and ask her bluntly.

Why not? Or how else do you want information to get to you? What is the use of guessing what is going on and making an it's-complicated status to yourself? It will, of course, be acceptable and I will publicly apologize IF YOU ARE PSYCHIC! Or a mind-reader. How do you know what was stored in the head? Again, you are just creating the complication. It is more like an oh-my-gosh-help-me-I-am-going-to-make-myself-crazy-soon status.

How about the "I am not ready to commit" or "I am not ready to have or be in a relationship" status? This is definitely a popular status. Of course it is undeniable that it may be due to the concentrating-in-studies-first factor or the fact that you might have a bad past relationship. But, personally, I think they are all EXCUSES!

I mean, come on! How do you know when you are ready and when you are not? Again, unless you have super extraordinary emotion reader power, how can you be so sure? You may argue that "this is my life. My feeling. And you will never understand it 'cuz you ain't me!". Yes, of course I can not argue with that. It is true that you know your own feelings. BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARE READY? To me, I do not think it is due to feelings. You want it, you will have to work for it. You will not stray off of your concentration (or else drop out rates will increase drastically every year). How is it possible to blame it on 'readiness' when you yourself made up your mind for that special goal and having to think bout that goal everyday, will not make you lose concentration? THOSE ARE ALL MADE UP! Pity 'readiness' for being blamed for every single thing.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARE READY WHEN YOU DID NOT GIVE ANYTHING A TRY OR A CHANCE TO SEE IF YOU ARE REALLY READY?

You argued that you can picture the future if you went for it. Well, NEWS FLASH: You picturing the future does not mean that it will come true because, then, you will only exist in 'Heroes', which I highly doubt so that you are in it! "I picture myself being in a relationship with him. I felt uncomfy and do not know what to do." Think over it. That is a nonsensical sentence! "I am not ready for a relationship. I am not ready to commit again 'cuz I am tired and is still phobia of my horrible past relationship". So, does that mean history will repeat itself and repeat again, and, oops, again and repeat again and again? So, now you are psychic and you can tell you will have another bad relationship? THAT IS CALLED RUNNING AWAY!! GIVE IT A SHOT, people, OR YOU MIGHT LOSE A REALLY GOOD GO! Give it a shot, you will get a 50/50 chance. Not giving at all will be a 100% lose.

But, of course, in the end, the relationship status may be fake. From the status display, it can be a form of self-selling program. Having your relationship fakingly and constantly changing from single to IAR to complicated to married and *POOF* back to single, will definitely draw attention, BIG TIME! Well, you are not an Elizabeth Taylor or Paris or Brit enough to draw attention using the celebrity-favourite: The hooked-on hooked-off relationship publicity act. It will draw attention: Partly sympathizing you and partly thinking that you are one big time player and partly just being a plain topic to be gossiped or bitched about! So, give it a rest 'cuz you are trying too hard. Ain't a pretty sight of the image, isn't it now.
