I am sitting in the office surfing through the net (thestar.com.my) for today's news. Few interesting articles that captured my attention. "Honey, did I win RM20mil?" reported that this husband and wife were in shocked after winning the jackpot lottery of RM20 million. Wow... just like that and RM20 million is in hand. I think I should start buying lottery too. Who knows if it will be me next time. RM20 million... there are lot of things that I wan to do with it. First, I am going to buy all my family and friends a good meal. Yes, food always comes first. Haha... then I will quit my job and leave this place asap. Paying off all the loans... Going for holidays... there is a 's' inside.. holidays... lol... Oh yes, going to US for my convocation. How can I forget that... There are many things that can be done with that money of course. Yeah, I can go to Canada straight away too.. Blah blah blah.... shireen ng is still dreaming... so easy to strike a jackpot?? Oh well, I am supposed to be a imaginative person. Only imagine...
The petrol price is going down again this saturday by 15 cents. Lucky that I did not pump petrol this morning or else, I would be cursing myself now. But my car petrol signal is already start blinking since this morning. Can it make it until tomorrow morning? Damn it. I still need to drive to Sunway later tonight. Probably will pump in a smaller amount. Arghhh... The world oil price is still going down. At about USD 60++ per barrel is a definitely a good news to us. It has been killing me since the petrol price went up. After suffering so many years, finally God said, "Oh my child, you had too much suffering in life. Let me take away your sorrow and suffering. Let you be happy for a while." As I always said that God loves me very much. God will also helps those who I love too. So please say thank you... "Thank you, shireennnnnnn!" :-p
And finally the news of the year, the US election 2008. I has been keeping track of this election since past few months. Obama and Mc Cain... who will I choose? Of course Obama! Well, who will want to choose a 72 years old man to be the next president? A man who only talks crap and doing nothing. Obama is giving a different face in the US history. The first black American President. Sounds cool right? The majority of the people is choosing Obama over Mc Cain. Yes, Obama is leading the race now. But somewhere deep down me have this fear. Fear that Obama might lost to Mc Cain because he is black. Racist has been the main issue in the world. Not only America, but everywhere is the world. Oh come on, the world needs a good leader. We all know the next American President is the next world leader. So people in US, please make a wise decision! Only if I have the chance to vote for. Perhaps what they should do is to allow the citizen of the earth to vote for... the next world president. I really can't wait for the 4th Nov 08 to come. The judgement day... haha
Enough of news now... let's talk about tonight. "It feels like tonight... can't you see I am broken inside... blah blah blah... and it feels like tonight"... Tonight is the night!! The Bloody Hell show brought by the ADP and ECU students. Why am I so excited about it??? Cause I am performing, simple as that... lol... Until yesterday, me and jason was still not in our good form. There are still mistakes. Maybe there is still no chemistry between us. But of course we will do our best for tonight. And today is also Efoong's birthday! The guy is older one year now... hehe... We planned to celebrate his birthday at Euphoria tonight after the show. It's free entrance..what more to wait for... have to go tonight. Alright, need to go to pantry to make my drink now... to be continued...

30 Oct 2008... and..
I am sitting in the office now... quite bored with everything around me. I came late to work today. Probably did not get enough rest yesterday. Oh ya, I was chatting with Jai and Raza until early in the morning. It has been long since I had a good conversation with them. It felt good. Back to the old times... Like how we used to lie down and talked all night long. Gosh, I miss all that moments. Looks like Raza really wants me to go Canada. Not that I just said it for fun. I really want to go there. He has been looking for all the information that can help me to get there. I really appreaciate his efforts. Thanks God that I have a friend like him. Now I am a lil relieved cause I know someone is out there helping me out. Thanks Raza!
This morning, the convocation issue was brought up again. This time is about the fees. Yesterday, the chairman of the convocation committee has sent email to all the graduand regarding the new venue and fees. An additional guest will be charged RM50 per person. And this morning, the management said that RM50 is way too low. They have to absorb too much cost. Again, meeting was held and new rates is confirmed. The first two additional guests will be charged RM50 per person, while any additional guests after that will be charged RM120 per person. Actually it was the management's fault to charge a low fees. I think RM 200 for graduand and 2 guests is still reasonable enough. And for any new additional guests to be charged RM70. This is what they should do, but again they failed. I just have two words to describe them... "Too clever".
While I am writing this, I was chatting with Saad and Tina. Oh well, everyone in the college is too bored! Chatting with Tina about the new revised fees and she is getting a lil frustrated again. Why change the fees when it was supposed to remain RM50 per guest? I really do not know how to answer her. I just explained the situation faced by the college and hope that she will let it go. I really had enough of all those "arguement". I really do not know what will happen again if the students still not satisfy with it. Come on guys, just let it go. I would say that the changing of the venue is a lucky arrangement done in such a short time. Where the hell can the management find a ballroom in such as short time? The management has done their best to fulfill the students' need. Perhaps letting them go is a wise decision for now.
Later there is dancing practise again. I has been practising since tuesday. My body is still aching now. All for the sake of Bloodyhell show. Talking about the show, much to share now. I just get to know from the event person in charged and he is frustrated with the whole arrangement. Everything was pretty messed up and no one is assisting him. Looks like the committee is more interested in the new cafe. However, they had started to decorate the auditorium yesterday. And guess what! They actually stole a tree from ground floor and used it as a decoration. Gooodness sake, steal a tree and used it as decoration?!

For those born in the year of RAT
Brief Description
The Rat is highly imaginative, charming and very generous. They can sometimes be quick tempered and overly critical. (am I generous? Hmm...imaginative? Yes! Haha... Charming? Maybe sometimes.. :p)
Positive Traits
charming, protective, compassionate, communicative, dynamic, familial, thrifty, skilful, sober upright, attractive, idealistic, prosperous, experimental, calm, sensual, loving, talented, adaptable, open-minded and brilliant entrepreneurs (I like all these positive traits.. well described about me.. hehe.. compassionate?? I think I can be very mean if I want..)
Negative Traits
possessive, picky, defensive, excessive, addictive, fickle, stingy, bumptious, bossy, exploitive, anxious, argumentative, opinionated, overbearing and self-obsessed (Oh... oh... possessive? 101% I am... Yes, I'm very picky especially comes to food... defensive? Everyone said so...! I think all are quite true except one or two.. stingy? not at all...)
General Descriptionof All Rats
Being born under this sign determines many talents, as well as other characteristics that may not be so commendable. Rats are very lively and need a lot of mental and physical stimulation. They can be calm and perceptive, but sometimes their brains can cause a mental restlessness, tempting them to take on too much, only to discover they are unable to meet their commitments. Rats are blessed with one of the best intellects going. Add to their intelligence a curiosity and a bright imagination, and they seem as sharp as a needle.The sign of the Rat is the first sign in the cycle giving Rat people exude great leadership qualities and are good at taking the lead. They don't mind a lot of responsibility and they demonstrate a strong presence that other people respect. For those with the Rat nature, status and monetary satisfaction are the greatest motivation. (I am talented! Yeah...not too sure what I want.. too many things in head.. confusion.. confusion... Status and monetary... oh yes! I think that is me.. lol..)
Detailed Description of The Wood Rat
Despite having a remarkable facade of self-confidence, deep down, Wood Rats are the least sure of themselves compared to other Rats. However, they wouldn't dream of showing this side of themselves to anyone. Only close companions of a Wood Rat would ever suspect that he or she had such self-doubt. In fact Wood Rats are often worried about downfall, despite their ability to find success. Well-liked, proficient, and good leaders at work, Wood Rats seem to function best when they are surrounded by family and friends. Cordial and delicate, they are usually well loved by family, friends and peers (Of course everyone loves me... :-) )
The joke of the year 2008
And now I present to you the joke of the year 2008... " my college convocation". Gosh, thinking about this year convocation really made me laugh. As part of the college administrator, I would pity the so called management or maybe the convocation committee. As part of the college student, I can't help but laugh at the convocation committee. Ths is the lousiest convocation that I had ever during my employment here. It was never been humilated as how it was now. Why would I say this? This is because of the late minute changing venue, messy arrangement, last minute invitation letter and no official announcement to the staff about the changing of the venue. Everything was in total messed!
Who to blame in this case? I guess I would said it's the convocation committee. At the first place, they should have consulted the students about what they want. Well, it's the student's convocation. Not theirs' convocation. So why make a drastic and radical planning when they knew that it will never be accepted by students. Like what the owner of the college said, students are the customers. If they can't fulfill or understand the needs of the customers, then they failed. I still do not understand why they would do that. After all those flying emails here and there, they still insisted that students are the minorities. Hallo?? Minorities? Let's do a counting.. how many staffs are in the college and how many students are in the college? How could someone said that. Gosh... that person really made everyone pissed off at her. And you still expect people to respect you after all these? Oh, perhaps that person should forget it and leave. Thanks to the owner of the college, he is much more understanding. I like the idea that he put them in... "BN loses because they never listen to the Rakyat". So listen to what we want, not what you want. It has been a tradition that convocation should be held in a hotel. It had been our college tradition. It's not that we do not love our college, but this is once in a lifetime opportunity. Of course we want it to be great and prestige. You can called us shallow minded, but this is who we are.
After a long "debate and emailing", it finally changed. The venue was relocated to a nice five stars hotel in KL. Finally, someone listened to us. Thank you. If the committee could understand and think from the students' side, all these ugly moments will never happen. The committee can still proudly walk to the stage on that day of the event. Now, they had lose the "war". All the pride and respect has gone. It will never happen if you care for the students. Now, everything has to be dismantled. Whatever preparation done, must be changed and abolished. Waste of efforts, money and time. Pls cut costs! Do not spend unnecessarily. I think the college's management got the slap right to their face now. And I am writing this when I am still a student now. Graduand of year 2009! We will definitely going to make the management take our wants seriously. We do not want a miserable and all last minute convocation... We deserve more than that... :)

My First Toastmaster's speech
Finally, it's over... my first toastmaster's speech. The title of my speech was All I have in year 2008. Basically it was about the major events that had taken place in my life during year 2008. Oh well, it was supposed to be a icebreaking speech. I shared with the rest about my proudest moment, the craziest things that I had done this year, the sad part and also the frustrating part. Let me elaborate some here too.
My proudest moment would be the fashion fiesta 2008. I shared with the audience about what happened during the process of completing the whole show and how my models made me proud on the stage that night. It was the best event that HICT ever had.
The craziest things that I had done was the Singapore Airlines's interview. The moment I said this out, my president, Mr. Victor had his laughter. Yeah, I know it sounded impossible. Shireen Ng went for SIA's interview? Joke of the month! But thanks to that someone, I still gave it a tried. Although it did not went well, I am glad that I took up the challenge. Thinking back I still do not know from where my courage came from.
My sad part would be I am graduating soon. Actually I can't wait anymore longer for it. It has been so many years that I am still called a student. Student... assignments...tests... and exams. Ugh.. I am kinda bored with them now. Still thinking if I should continue my master later in future. Anyway, coming back... graduation also mean I am going to leave all my friends and some of them had left for good. Never know when we will meet up again or maybe never for life. After all those craziest times we spent together, it was a heartaching thinking that everyone is going own their own way now.
And finally the frustrating part. When that moment I spoke the sentence from my mouth, " ..it was the repainting of the student lounge room", everyone was "... ohhh". I bet they must felt angry inside for me being mean. Oh well, I was frustrated and it was my speech. I do not care if they were. Stop me if they can... lol... anyway, it was past and I am fine now. Victor came to me after that and apologized for it. Oh... it was a lil late, don't he? Haha...
Overall my speech was fine. I was complimented but of course there were mistakes too. Just have to take them up and make use of them next time. I still thinking now if I should quit this Toastmaster. Kinda boring but it will definitely benefits me. Thinking.. still thinking... hmmm

Twilight - Breaking Dawn
"Twilight tempted the imagination. New Moon made readers thirsty for more. Eclipse turned the saga into a worldwide phenomenon. And now, the book that everyone has been waiting for...
Breaking Dawn, the final book in the #1 bestselling Twilight Saga, will take your breath away. "
-MPH Online.com-
This book is the last book of the Twilight series. The funny thing was I do not know that this is a series book. I just bought the last book and started reading it until my friend told me that it is a series. Well, after reading half of the book, I wouldn't care much but continued reading it. The more I read, the more exciting I got. The words... the plot... the climax... just tempted me to finish them asap. A vampire and a human were in love. Love that is extraordinary than a human love. Oh, Edward the vampire... such a perfect character. He was described to be smart, good looking, loving and perfect. Gosh, how I wish to be Bella. I wouldn't mind being turned into a vampire for Edward. This last book was about Edward Cullen and Bella Swan getting ready for their marriage life. And how Bella was ready to be transformed into a vampire for the sake of staying together with Edward. Before she was transformed, she found herself pregnant! Human with a vampire? How could that be? The misery and climax started from there. An immortal child, they called it. It was forbidden and must be destroyed. The Cullens family must protect the child from harm. even if they have to sacrifice their life. A very good book. Finally, I finished reading them after 5 days. A book worth reading if you enjoy fiction and magical phenomenon.

Thanks for the memories
"Lose yourself in the magical new novel from the No.1 bestselling author of PS I Love You How can you know someone you've never met? Joyce Conway remembers things she shouldn't. She knows about tiny cobbled streets in Paris, which she has never visited. And every night she dreams about an unknown little girl with blonde hair. Justin Hitchcock is divorced, lonely and restless. He arrives in Dublin to give a lecture on art and meets an attractive doctor, who persuades him to donate blood. It's the first thing to come straight from his heart in a long time. When Joyce leaves hospital after a terrible accident, with her life and her marriage in pieces, she moves back in with her elderly father. All the while, a strong sense of deja vu is overwhelming her and she can't figure out why !"
- MPHonline.com-
The reason why I decided to share this book is because I love the magical love between Joyce and Justin. Imagine one day you wake up and realised that you can speak some other languages that you never even know about it, you began to appreciate things that you don't even have any knowledge about them, you can feel someone's thought and feeling when you don't even know who is that. This is a fiction book where can bring me to my wonderland. Two different people from two far different places are connected though a blood tranfusion. How Joyce experiences Justin's feeling and thought and past. It would be so wonderful to have someone that actually know what you thinking, feeling and want. And this reminded me of a movie by Mel Gibson where he have the special ability to hear what women are thinking inside their mind. It's pretty cool huh... How I wish I could have that ability...
