damn damn damn!

been feeling sick since yesterday. methinks it's an irritated throat. been causing me to have sudden painful coughs. didn't see the doctor yesterday, as when i "felt" sick, the clinic must've been already closed, as it was already so late. but that's not the problem...

woke up this morning with the intention to pay the doc a visit, but woke up at only 10-ish. nevermind that. aftera bath, i made the walk to the clinic, only to discover that 1) today was Sunday, and 2) on Sundays the clinic closes at 10am. FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU..........!!! okay, so my bad there. off i went, another jolly stroll to the pharmacy at Guardian in Summit, only to discover that the bleeding pharmacist is on leave till the 7th. by now, i was about as irritated as my throat, so i just grabbed a box of Dequadin lozenges and got the heck out of there! i must say, i have already popped one in my mouth, and so far it hasn't helped much, but it tastes good. very nice, Honey & Lemon...

all i can do is drink lots of water, eat more lozenges, and if not recovered by tomorrow gotta see the dreaded doctor. i HATE being sick!

the beginning of the last (month)

IT'S ALREADY THE FIRST OF DECEMBER! hahahahahahaha!
time DOES fly by past us quickly... hmm.....

now, when i look back at "my 2011" , what will i say about it? how will i summarize it? i have absolutely no FREAKING idea! the first half of my year was decent lah. was still then studying in Word Centre, so i guess i thought i would be staying on until maybe early half of next year (need to have some time to complete my LIFEPACs till Grade 11 in order to qualify for the SAT examinations!), but would you believe it i had signed up for a course in culinary! here was a chance for me to escape from taking the SATs, so yeah...and BOOM! voila, here i am now in Subang, studying culinary! life does take us on strange trips... at least i know my 2011 wasn't wasted... heh.....

well, life's pretty kind to me up here... i miss JB, i for sure do miss my family, AO friends, etc etc...but i guess i am here for a reason, and that is to study as well as possible in this course i'm taking now. it's tough, i admit, but then again life's like that eh? enough about all this... hope that everyone out there will do the best with their lives!

gotta sleep now. got class later on. will be cooking lots of food! muahahahahaha! take care, peeps! ciao!

quote(s) of the day

HI! it's really been a long while since i've blogged! well that's because i've nothing much to say here. nothing to say, nothing to blog. hahahaha!

*anyway here are two (good) quotes i want to share today:

"If opportunity doesn't knock, then build a door."

"Wise men talk because they have something to say. Fools talk because they have to say something."

emotion e-sh-motion

SUPPORTING LIVERPOOL FC

(Here are a few ways I sum up my emotions when I, a die-hard Reds fan, watch LFC play.)

It’s been frustrating and joyous and depressing and awesome.

Yet, I don’t have geographical ties to my team.

But when Suarez (or anyone from the current squad!) scores, I leap off my couch and start going hysterical. Trust me, when you see me doing all of the above mentioned DO NOT CALL THE POLICE or MENTAL INSTITUTION! It's just a "reflex" thing.

When we give up on a late deciding goal and take a single point instead of three, I feel completely demoralized.

But, everytime I wear the shirt, I wear the shirt with massive pride. The badge is meant to be honoured.

And whenever our anthem, "You'll Never Walk Alone", is played, it never fails to make the hairs on my back stand.

Make no mistake, Liverpool’s my team.

And I couldn’t be prouder of the boys. GO REDS!

twenty years old. gah

today's my birthday! i'm 20! haha! :)
feels...the same. weird. 20 doesn't feel any different. just a number...

20 years young

hi! i'm BACK! :D

arrived in JB at 2AM this morning. back for birthday celebrations with family + helping Dad in the office. what an incentive. haaaaa.
anyways, JB hasn't changed much. i repeat that: JB. HASN'T. CHANGED. MUCH. you'd think that "modern" areas would progress QUICKER. but no. so yeah...
what else? owhh...! to Karyn...if you are reading this, I know it is "too late", but once again GOOD LUCK IN YOUR SAT EXAMINATIONS!!!!! hope you do well and graduate! you're almost getting out of Word Centre! haha! :D
right...my birthday is coming up, so i should be excited. am i? yes i am! hahaha! talking to myself. again. :P

on a separate note:  i wanna say a BIG THANKS to my Cilantro Culinary Academy (Batch 47) for surprising (no, i was REALLY surprised!) me yesterday! my bday's not till Monday, but since Mon is a holiday, they sneakily planned to surprise me with a birthday cake (which my mom ordered without me knowing. grrr....). thanks, guys! awesome shit right there.....
btw: the cake was delicious! hazelnut... first time eating hazelnut cake. mmhmmm..... nom nom nom! :D


birthday's exact day is gonna coincide with Hari Raya Haji, which is on Monday. cool.....NOT!

*happily waiting to OFFICIALLY turn 20! the BIG 2-0!* :)

Goodbye JB, Hello KL

Today's my "last" day here in JB! I'm totally excited at the prospect of going to another place for a few years, and gaining a good experience in being a chef! I will be leaving tomorrow morning, so for those of you whom I didn't get to say goodbye to personally, GOODBYE! Also, take good care of yourselves and work hard! Be someone useful to society!

Okay, I want to get this off my chest: To Miss G, you may have my best interests at heart when you advised me about my choice of path that I have taken, but looks like you mixed both professional and personal advice together, thus giving me the impression that you want to keep me here in JB, squeezing every last ringgit out of my parents. I somehow don't share that sentiment, as I am already 20, and needed to get out of this rut and move on. Look, I know that I have already reached Grade 10 - 11, and I only have a few more books to go to allow me a chance to take the SAT examinations, and in turn will allow me to pursue my dreams of being a great artist, but circumstances have made me drop all plans to be an artist (for now) and be a chef, which is my second favourite profession. I always believe that when God closes a door, He opens another. So, thank you for your kind opinions and advice, but I will stick to what I think is right, and continue to join this culinary programme. In all my years at A&O Word Centre, I have enjoyed every moment (good AND bad!), and I continue to wish this school every success in the coming years and the future. To Miss G, you've been a fantastically supportive teacher/friend/principal to me, and I will forever be grateful to you for taking me into your school way back in Feb 2009. Also to the other teachers, Teacher Eileen, Teacher Benny, and of course Teacher Wendy, I have enjoyed your company through all this time I've been at this school, and hope to see you all very soon!

Leaving JB for a few years will definitely be tough, but life's like that: you need to move on in order to grow. I hope that everyone will be kind, loving, and patient to each other, and in that way the world will be a nicer place to live in. I'm not going to be blogging or Facebooking so often from Oct 31 onwards, so this is going to be my "last" blog post for now...

Ciao, peeps! Don't miss me too much! *jokes jokessssss* xoxo
