Watched Angels & Demons...

Alright.... I was actually supposed to post this yesterday but I was too lazy to do it.... so, here it is today. :P

Ok, I went out to IOI Mall to watch Angels & Demons with Yin Peng yesterday. It is quite a great show... though the storyline is quite against Christianity (I'm never a fan of Dan Brown...)but hey.... nobody asked me to believe the story in the movie... I just watched the movie for leisure and coz my friend invited me to... :) Well, the movie is rated at 18+ and thanks goodness the cinema attendant didn't ask my age this time like they do in Mid Valley the last time... (Oh whee.... finally I look like 18 to the eyes of someone! :P)

So, before the movie... we went for a chow at sushi king coz we're somehow craving Japanese food at that time. But I tell you... japanese food is EXPENSIVE!!! ==" My lunch consists of 4 types of sushis and a California Roll... and it costs... RM16.00 per person! Wow... my lunch at McD usually only costs around 7 or 8 bucks per set. =="

Anyway, here are some pics we took yesterday... 

The sushi for lunch... Should had more photos of sushis but I had already ate them before I remembered to take a pic... =="

Me and Yin Peng at the........ washroom... xP

The movie ticket :)

New Divide

I remembered black skies
The lightning all around me
I remembered each flash
As time began to blur
Like a startling sign
That fate had finally found me

And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the thoughts cross
The distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect the space between
Let it fill up to reach the truth and lies
Across this new divide

There was nothing inside
The memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide
The ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in
Between where we were standing

And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the thoughts cross
The distance in your eyes
Across this new divide

And every loss and every lie
And every truth that you deny
And each regret and each goodbye
Was a mistake too great to hide

And your voice was all I heard
But I get what I deserve

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the thoughts cross
The distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect the space between
Let it fill up to reach the truth and lies
Across this new divide
Across this new divide
Across this new divide

This is the new Linkin Park song just released this morning. Downloaded it from the official LP website (with the help of Internet Download Manager of course... I didn't buy it :P). It's such a cool song! :D Found meself listening to it countless times the whole day today! xP

Another one of my rantings....

ARRGH!!!! I HATE GEOMETRICAL CONSTRUCTION!!! No, don't get me wrong.... I don't hate the chapter coz I sucked at it... (In fact, I kinda liked the chapter when I was in Form 2 coz I was pretty good at it and it was one of the few chapters in Maths which didn't require a single calculation! :P) Well, I hate it now coz I HAVE TO TO TEACH MY BROTHER THAT CHAPTER!!! My brother doesn't have a single clue about the chapter and he's having exams next week... so, no choice.... I have to tutor him :( Ok.... teaching is bad enough already.... now I have to teach someone who can't even construct a 60° angle properly... GRRR!!! :S

Ok.... I'm really ranting again.... Please bear with me people... :P I will try not to rant soo much again. :)

Hmmm... ok... I'm back.... :P

Dear Bloggie,

Alright, hate me all you want.... throw profanities at me.... I admit, I haven't been writing for I don't know how many days already. Why? Because.... I confess, I'm too lazy to think and write these few days. LOL! Yeah... yeah... I'm a lazy bugger. Everytime I come online, (which is almost 24/7...lol) I always thought of writing my heart out but everytime.... I will always think.... ah tomorrow I will write.... tomorrow... tomorrow and tomorrow. Ah... the tomorrow doesn't seem to end. So, ok... OK!!! I will finally write now. :P
Regards,

Vivian

Ah... ignore the stupid note that I crapped out above. So, for the last few days when I was not blogging, there were some things interesting happening. I became a site contributor in M24 (lol), do something really interesting with my church youth and ..... working.... YES! You heard(see) it.... WORKING!!! I'm not going to crap much about the first two thing, so, lets go straight to the two (and only) days I was working.

Well, it started when I was with CBC Puchong youth at Giant. Suddenly mom called me on my mobile and asked me to stand in for one of her colleagues in her kindergarten who couldn't come to work for 2days. I was like WHAT?! Teaching??!! (I don't have to elaborate the relationship between me and teaching I think... ==") Then, mom said... "Don't worry, you will be paid." I was like... ookayy. :S I admit it.... the money was quite tempting but in order to earn it.... I must do something I have always hated to do, so wasn't really too enthusiastic bout it.... especially when it involves KIDS!!! :o

So, Monday.... I had to wake up on 6 am (a really hard thing to do for me... :P) and go to work with my mom at 7:10 am. Bla bla bla till 8:20am... class started. Ok... I was a little nervous when I entered the class to meet the 5-year-old kids. I introduced myself as 'Teacher Vivian' (Can't imagine huh? ==' I actually prefered to be called 'Jie jie' (Big Sister in the Chinese Language) instead but mom insisted that I'm known as 'Teacher' :S) and asked them to read their storybooks (Those Peter and Jane series... I'm not sure you guys know bout them or not :P) out loud. Well, they can read very well... I was impressed. :) I have to say most of the 5-year-kids are pretty smart and can be considered 'angels' of kids... and I actually enjoyed teaching them! (SURPRISE!) I especially had a liking for this little girl... Shirley. She's really cute and chatty... and she's pretty close to me... I dunno why. :D

I taught the 5-year-olds till 9:30 am then I took the Year 3 tuition classes after the break. Well, I thought teaching 9-year-olds will be much better but hell I was soo wrong!!! Well, it was really bad.... all because of ONE kid!!! This kid... I tell you, he's really a little rascal. He doesn't only neglect all his work and not listen to instructions... he caused the class to be in chaos! I always heard my mom complaining about one naughty boy in her class but I never knew who he is before this.... Now I know who he is!!!

Day 2... It's was actually quite the same story as Day 1 but this time... I had to teach 6-year-old kids instead of 9-year-olds. Now, I know most of you guys will think that 6-year-olds are better than 5-year-olds. Wrong..... they were worse. Well, most of them were pretty well-behaved but some boys were just.... no comments. =="

Well, I have to say that it's a pretty pleasant experience. :) Don't get me wrong.... I still hate teaching but I have to admit that I actually enjoyed my 2-day stint as an educator... lol. But one thing when I see those kids.... I actually miss my own childhood very much! I really wish that I can go back to the age when I do not have make so much decisions, get depressed and being able to enjoy life without a care of what's happening in the world. Ahhh... being a kid is soo much fun!!! lol...

That's all I gonna write about my job... Here's some photos from last Sunday's youth outing. :) Photographed by Me and Gabriel....

Take 1 ~~~~~

Take 2 ~~~~

Take 3 ~~~~ Joel C, Esther, Amutha and the kids. :)

Take 4 ~~~~ Another table... SMILE!!! :)

Take 5 ~~~~ Oi Joel... why are you standing there? :P

Take 6 ~~~~ Oi Gab.... what's with my back? =="

Take 7 ~~~~ The whole view of the youth... What's with my back again? =="

Alright... there's all for today!!! :) Wait... one more thing....

I REALLY WANT THIS PHONE!!! WHY OH WHY I DIDN'T GET THIS MODEL INSTEAD OF MY N95... :o CAN SOMEONE KINDLY SPONSOR SOME CASH TO HELP ME GET THIS BABY??? :P (Lol.... kidding)

Alright! I'm posting now....

Ok... i admit it.... I didn't post for 2 days coz I don't know what to post and my pure laziness... I'm just too lazy these few days to think what to write and blah about... lol :P

Anyway, nothing special these few days... ok, one thing... dad bought a new RAM for my lappie. :D Now, my lappie won't have any lagging problems anymore... HURRAY! (Well, as long I don't load my comp with too much rubbish... :P) Oh... happy happy! :D

Oh... these few days I'm in the mood to upload on M24... Just feel like racking up my that 'little' reward points... lol. xD (Well, it IS little compared to some people there!). Well, I don't know if I will ever archieve the 'Site Contributor' status or not... but it will be really nice if I can reach 1000RP... lol :D

Ah... now on a more serious matter... I would like to thank God for protecting my brother, Adrian last Friday. You see... he was playing doubles in badminton with his friends at MBA and he was accidently struck near his left eye by one of his friend's racquet. Well, he got a cut near his eye that required 2 stitches... but thank God the racquet didn't struck directly on his eye... only He knows what will happen if that racquet got his eye... :o Anyway, he's fine now... thankfully :) (He's already back annoying me AGAIN!!! :P)

That's all I'm going to write for now... Too lazy to think more of what to write!!! :P

Today....

Hmmm... nothing much to write today. Was REALLY bored!!! :( Spent the while day in front the computer again.... (at least foruming at M24 is pretty fun today! :D), going into a Linkin Park marathon again, playing some NFS and reading some stuff... (nonsensical stuff). Wait... I did something significant... teaching my brother Malay essay and Maths. Well... as usual... it was NOT fun... especially if you have a brother who expect you to spoon-feed him word by word when he's writing an essay and finds the Pythagoras Theorem confusing! (Come on.... the Pythagoras Theorem is one of the easiest chapter I ever learnt in Maths!!! ==") So, by the time it was finished... I was already up the wall already! :P Sometimes, I wonder how the proper teachers do it... putting up with slow learning kids and patiently teaching them step by step until the kids know something. I REALLY salute them.... lol! (Only the really dedicated teachers... not the lazy ones!)

Anyway... here some pics for the day.... (Suddenly, I missed my Form 6 years... So, this is the theme for the pics today! :P)

Me and a group of friends on our early days of Form 6 ~~~

Me and Grace... One of our first of many photos togather :) ~~~

Shalini, Me, Grace and our beloved Chemistry teacher, Pn.Lee :) ~~~

Our class BBQ party... It was pretty fun! ~~~

This pic was taken during a school trip... to some space adventure I think :P ~~~

Me and Huey Tyng during our class trip to the Parliament House and the National Monument ~~~

Our last day of class ~~~

Me, Nalinaa, and Rachele... Also taken on last day of school ~~~

That's all folks!!! There are many more pics but I can't post them all here... Maybe next time ok? :) 

Ummm.....

Today...

Really... I have no idea what to write... there's just nothing much to talk about today. ==" And I'm just posting this coz I'm super bored....... Any great ideas of something interesting to do???? Tell me!!! (Other than surfing the internet aimlessly and playing NFS on my laptop...)

Tired.... again...

I'm being tired again today... feeling totally listless... I have no idea why... Well, I have been like this for a few days now... don't feel like doing anything the whole day :S ARGH!!! I need more energy!!! Don't want to look like a zombie the whole day!!! :o

Anyway, not much happening today.... wait there's one... I got an offer letter from a college... Kolej Yayasan Melaka. Well, it seemed like a good offer till I saw the courses... Bachelor in Education or Bachelor in English! oO" Well, as most of you guys know, what i want is IT. And.......

Bachelor in Education => Education = Teaching... and you guys know what is the relationship between me and teaching... =="

Bachelor in English => Okay, I won't deny I kinda liked English... but me and perfect grammar aren't exactly the bestest of friends... :P And I'm not a fan of writing and literature...

The weird thing is... I don't even know where and how on Earth this college got my details and house address... coz I don't remember applying for it... (Well, I will never apply for a teaching course or anything to do with languages...). :S  Ah... just forget it Vivian.... there are still many universities out there... :) IT... here I come! Lol... :P

Ah... another thing today... I was being called 'Auntie' by one of Kevin's friends... LOL! This is because that guy thought that I'm my brother's mother... ==" OMG.... suddenly I feel so old... :S

Oh yea.... please take my FB quiz people.... See if you guys know me enough or not!!! Really easy questions...(Some questions are really a 'giveaway'... This shows how bored I am... ==") --> CLICK HERE!!!

Finally!

Hah! Finally!!!

I just finished reinstalling all my programs into my lappie after formatting it this morning!!! I'm happier now coz my laptop doesn't lag anymore (ok... maybe a lil' bit but is negligable), and all the malicious wares infecting my pc are resting in peace!!! Woohoo! :D Well, I hope my computer doesn't freeze again (My common complaint last time!). ;)

Here's my desktop now... (I know... I reuse the same wallie and just change it abit, but here it is...)

My Desktop ~~~ I just can't bring myself to change the wallpaper yet!!! :P

Oh yeah... this Sat, I"m going back to Ipoh (my hometown) with my family... Looking forward to seeing my cousins again... :) But I'm hoping there is internet at my grandma house... There was one time when there was internet at her place coz one of the neighbours had WiFi without the WEP key, so I can happily go online using my lappie... but the last time we went back (during chinese new year), I couldn't find any WiFi signal... So, no internet! :S Well, I'm keeping my fingers crossed now. :)

Confused...

Hmmm... I don't know why but I'm feeling really strange now... Like something is really bothering me... What's the reason I don't know... WHY? What is worrying me???? :(

Messing with my computer desktop... and POOF!!!

I was really bored out of my can today, so I decided to mess around with my computer's desktop. :P I have seen some really nice desktop made by experts which are posted around the internet... so I decided to try pimping my desktop as well. Well, after messing around for a few hours, here's my desktop... :) (I didn't change the wallpaper though...)


So, what do you think guys? This is the first time I really pimp my desktop to the max (without counting the BIG failure yesterday... :S), so it won't be perfect I think...

BTW, helped mom to clean up the house today... URGHH!!! Everything was soo messy!!! The dust generated from the clean-up make me sneeze almost the whole day after that... lol. Other than that... well, nothing much I can blog today... :S

P.S: Really suffering from withdrawal symptoms now coz of lack of shopping... ANYONE????

Just another day....

I overslept again today... :P

Anyway, spent nearly the whole day in front of the computer... Well, I nearly lost everything I have in my computer! It all started when I tried to make my computer to be a Windows 7 look alike. Well, to do that, some system files need to be modded. So, I follow the instructions that I read in internet and did exactly what are said there. So, after modding the files... I restarted the computer and OMG!!! Windows won't start at all!!! *GASP* I nearly panicked coz I don't have any backup for all my precious files (photos, songs etc.) and was horrified at the thought of losing all of them if I'm forced to reformat my computer. (Well, I will do it soon anyway... but wait till I can find the time to backup everything!!! :P) Thank God there is Safe-Mode and System Restore and my computer is safe. :) Well, I will never mess with the system files again EVER!!!

Anyway, can't get a Windows 7 look... so, i just changed the wallpaper and installed some programs to make the windows and taskbar look transparent. :) (My computer is powered with Windows Vista Basic... so there's no Aero Glass Effect preinstalled. :( ... )

I know... It's really simple... But I like my desktop to be dark and not too flowery ~~~~

Just came back from IOI Mall a while ago... Saw this phone... It's kinda nice and really unique... coz it utilizes mostly only touch gestures to operate the phone... calling, sms-ing, music, camera... well, everything is done by touch! No buttons!!! Well, RM670 if anyone's interested. :) (Not for me though... no WiFi in this phone! :P)

Neonode N2.... The Iphone wannabe :P ~~~

Heating, melting, evaporating..............

Hey, I don't mean to be a big moaner.... but am I living in a volcano now?? Or in sahara?? Or the sun?? Whatever it is..... It is RIDICULOUSLY HOTTTT!!!!!!!!! What's up with the weather nowadays? Must be the effect of global warming...... Please people!!! Stop cutting down trees!!! lol... :P

Anyway, took the MUNSYI Test today.... I must say that it's actually quite a silly test.... 310 questions.... one hour..... all questions about personalities, likes and dislikes and bla bla... Well, had to wake up early this morning just to find the school where I'm supposed to take the test. Thank God for the invention of Garmin (In case there's some who doesn't know what is it... it is a company making GPS receivers...) or I don't know where I will end up in coz the school seems to be located in the middle of nowhere! =="

Anyway, the test is easy and in the same time ridiculous. You just have to mark ya atau tidak (Yes or No) and Setuju atau Tidak Setuju (Agree or Disagree). That's the easy part. The ridiculous part is actually the questions! Why? Here's an example of a question --> Adakah kamu suka menjalinkan persahabatan baru melalui internet? (Do you like to make new friends through the internet?) Anyway, no prizes for guessing what's my answer is to that question... :)

That's all I wanna write for today... Back to the melting process now... =="

P.S: I'M ITCHING TO GO SHOPPING!!! ANYONE WANTS TO COME WITH ME??!! :)

British English vs. Malaysian English

Now, I know some of you have read this... but I just post it here anyway... It's pretty hilarious... xD

British English vs. Malaysian English

Who says our English is teruk (terrible)? Just read below - Ours is simple, short, concise, straight-to-the-point, effective etc.


WHEN GIVING A CUSTOMER BAD NEWS
Britons: I'm sorry, sir, but we don't seem to have the sweater you want in your size, but if you give me a moment, I can call the other outlets for you.

Malaysians: No stock.

RETURNING A CALL
Britons: Hello, this is John Smith. Did anyone call for me a few moments ago?

Malaysians: Hello, who call?

ASKING SOMEONE TO MAKE WAY
Britons: Excuse me, I would like to get by. Would you please make way?

Malaysians: S-kew me. (Well, pronounce this and it does sound like 'excuse me' xD)

WHEN SOMEONE OFFERS TO PAY
Britons: Hey! Put your wallet away, this drink is on me.

Malaysians: No need lah*.

WHEN ASKING FOR PERMISSION
Britons: Excuse me, but do you think it would be possible for me to enter through this door?

Malaysians: (pointing at the door) Can ah*?

WHEN ENTERTAINING
Britons: Please make yourself right at home.

Malaysians: No need shy shy one lah*!

WHEN DOUBTING SOMEONE
Britons: I don't recall you giving me the money.

Malaysians: Where got?

WHEN DECLINING AN OFFER
Britons: I would prefer not to do that, if you don't mind.

Malaysians: Don't want lah*.

IN DISAGREEING ON A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION
Britons: Err...Tom, I have to stop you there. I understand where you're coming from, but I really have to disagree with what you said about the issue.

Malaysians: You mad ah*?

WHEN ASKING SOMEONE TO LOWER THEIR VOICE.
Britons: Excuse me, but could you please lower your voice? I'm trying to concentrate over here.

Malaysians: Shut up lah*!

WHEN ASKING SOMEONE IF HE/SHE KNOWS YOU.
Britons: Excuse me, but I noticed you staring at me for sometime. Do I know you?

Malaysians: See what, see what?

WHEN ASSESSING A TIGHT SITUATION.
Britons: We seem to be in a bit of a predicament at the moment..

Malaysians: Die lah*!!


WHEN TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED
Britons: Will someone tell me what has just happened?

Malaysians: What happened ah*? Why like that one lah*?

WHEN SOMEONE DID SOMETHING WRONG
Britons: This isn't the way to do it. Here, let me show you.

Malaysians: Like that also don't know how to do!

WHEN ONE IS ANGRY
Britons: Would you mind not disturbing me?

Malaysians: Celaka (Damn) you!

*Note (For non-Malaysians reading this...): The 'lah' and 'ah' are actually 'extensions' we Malaysians tend to add at the end of our sentence when we speak english or should I say 'Manglish'. It doesn't carry any meaning actually... just spoiling our english... :P

Well, that's all for now... I think this shows how 'good' our English is!!! xD For us Malaysians... Yes, it's true that it's simple and short... but really, this can't be used while speaking to non-Malaysians! It's just embarassing! xD
