Now only I get to blog about things. I've abandoned you way too long huh, blogger? Ha.<br /><br />Everything is moving so fast. To back track what I've done during the last bit of 2010 - uncountable stories. There was many hold-ups on quite a few of my projects that I couldn't go on holidays with my heart totally in peace. Then there was also company's x'mas party. And I was a pixie! Totally fun. I was then off for 1 week plus - went to Penang with family, went shopping, seeing friends, count down for new year. It took like a snap, and my 1 week plus holiday was gone.<br /><br />Gotten a really sad news as well - that my boss has resigned, and she'll be leaving soon this year, which shadows me with worry and stress; lost. I'm going to take over all of her jobs - which I'm so blur about. I'm starting to take over now actually... And hopefully by end of this month, I'll get confirmation to be the official AE. 1 of my wish in 2011 I would say.<br /><br />I've started back working for 4 days now. Hectic! But fulfilling - I like being busy in some ways. Everyday I go to the office, receiving and sending things out. Sometimes I do work under pressure; I'll just never know what to expect at work. Simply just receiving emails - it could just spoil the day or jam up my brain, freezing there - don't know what to do or what to decide. When am I going to overcome this? Pray hard, learn hard!<br /><br />And ho ho ho - CNY is on the way! Company has already planned their staffs holidays, even CNY dinner. I can't wait! Also saving up now so that I can go to KL once again to get more stuff. It wasn't enough the last time I went. *excuses you think? Ha*<br /><br /> Now I'm getting really dry and tired eyes. Shall put this to a full-stop and continue the next time round. Goodnight.Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00997464794639600129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453751047374085902.post-1688173955185724402010-11-26T07:08:00.000-08:002010-11-26T07:28:00.131-08:00November To An End.I got my salary already! Which also means, December will be blasting soon. Exciting!<br /><br />Sales are everywhere now - for Christmas. Ho ho ho! I got plenty to buy, i.e. make-up stuff, Christmas presents for my lovely colleagues, clothes shopping probably end of December in KL, and heels! I spotted one awesome pair at Walk In earlier - will probably get it tomorrow! Hehehe... And also, very soon next weekend, I'll be going for wakeboarding. Feels scary, but at the same time, I can't wait to play. ;)<br /><br />It's gonna be a very VERY broke month for me on December. Will be going to Penang with family during Christmas some more, not forgetting the Christmas eve countdown that's being planned - hopefully by then, my December salary will be in on time!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">*<br /><div style="text-align: left;">November flashback. So many have been happening... sudden news from colleagues, many are leaving, my senior especially who has taught me so much and has been helping me out whenever I'm in shit holes. Some wanted to leave but being hold back... Many birthdays were being celebrated in the office, including mine. And then we have completed projects surfacing again - revived. My accounts are never on track as per given schedule with all the delays and many rounds of uncertain decision making and revisions - pfft. Rushing to the office, and from the office to post house, and back again for multiple presentations... Working life is not easy, yet fulfilling. I'm on the high, and sometimes on the low.<br /><br />I almost lost my best friends too. Over issue that I shouldn't even be pulled in. But I'm so glad that the issue is over, and that my best friends are still by my side, and that's what matters. Fortunately, the evil thick clouds broke up, revealing the ever normal bright shine.<br /><br />For that, I shall come to a full-stop. It's time to call it a day! Love Friday nights.<br /><br /><br />Time to re-charge the battery in me. Have a good rainy night!<br /></div></div>Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00997464794639600129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453751047374085902.post-70465489157103117182010-11-16T06:49:00.000-08:002010-11-16T07:01:04.984-08:00I Love November.Hola hola!<br /><br />Phew~ Been working for 3 months plus already. Going into complete 4 months by end of November! See, it's November already. How fast! Time is actually speeding up even more in November as we're moving into end of the year, where we have Christmas eve, Christmas, holiday plans, finishing current projects, moving into new year, new projects and plans. Exciting!<br /><br />Lately, things have been good. Work - good. Not so much of late nights anymore, really grateful about that. Getting warm with colleagues, getting things done smoother. The boy - good. Both of us have been busy with our own things, but still manage to hang out and laze around. Friends - as usual, didn't get to catch up much, sad! Missing them; all groups.<br /><br />I can't help it. I always love November. Because there are many birthdays in November - people that I know and care about. My own birthday is in November as well. I can't wait to celebrate! =D<br /><br />I haven't been shopping. Must shop soon too! Either end of this month after getting my pay, or in December. Hehehehe.. wait for me KL! I'm going to you soon!Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00997464794639600129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453751047374085902.post-78993140840117168812010-10-15T22:19:00.000-07:002010-10-15T22:23:00.134-07:00Only Moving Forward.Yesterday was one of the scariest day of my life. Filled with guilt.<br /><br />BUT.<br /><br />It's ok. It's ok Karmen. You made a mistake, then get over it. And make sure you don't do it again. It's going to be ok. You'll be ok. Now that you learn, you know. It's ok... forgive yourself in order to do better.<br /><br />Hmm!Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00997464794639600129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453751047374085902.post-71471356424431485322010-09-29T06:05:00.000-07:002010-09-29T06:17:08.075-07:00Building.Everyone is so busy with their lives. It's getting harder to catch up, or to even exchange a few messages. It's extremely hard to get on a date with friends too. It's totally understandable, why this is happening... everyone gets tired at the end of the day. Everyone barely have time for themselves, hence, how on earth would everyone even think of hanging out? Get home, eat, and sleep would be the best.<br /><br />After tomorrow, it'll be my official 2 months working in SSKL already. How fast huh... I thank God and feel grateful that everything's working fine at work. There are still tonnes to learn, but I'm starting to pick up on things that I've been practicing. :)<br /><br />I got this message from Hello! magazine. For zodiac of scorpions. It says something like:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;">"No matter how fast you learn or how much you learn, you'll not do any better if your base is not stable and strong enough - like the structure of a building. Seek help from the experienced - build your base and then to the way up"</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Goodnight.<br /></div></div>Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00997464794639600129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453751047374085902.post-89982576174144868062010-09-11T21:31:00.000-07:002010-09-11T21:34:26.037-07:00No Monday's-A-Holiday.Supposed to be a holiday for me tomorrow. But well, due to rushy datelines, I gotta go back to office to work anyway. Pfft... How long do I have to stay in office, that's another question. Hopefully will be able to go back early. Like, really early. No one will be in the office, but just my team. Lol. So come on, right after all the meetings, please let me ciao!<br /><br />Hehe.Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00997464794639600129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453751047374085902.post-76164088446631165082010-08-30T22:24:00.001-07:002010-08-30T22:41:54.341-07:00On Merdeka.Happy Merdeka!<br /><br />But before getting to enjoy myself on the day of Merdeka, it was really a painful day the day before today. It was total chaos at work yesterday. Nothing was finalized, even until today. There are still so many things to track and to follow up. Hate the fact that things have to be hanging half way... I'm actually working today too - from home.<br /><br />I stayed back at the office till super late. I only get to leave the office at 10.30pm. Very much thanks to the meeting that happened at 6pm. Like always, it had to be very draggy. Frustrating. And because the meeting took up dinner time, I had to eat biscuits only for dinner. So pathetic! But thanks mom for buying yummy cookies for me to keep at my desk. Lol. After the meeting, face feeling so oily, body feeling so weak, eyes were burning - I went back out to my desk and continue doing some work. Energy level stroke all the way downwards to 0. Booo... Was rushing all the way to complete my work, then go off. So not fair, everyone in the office left so early, just because it's Merdeka the next day. Me and colleague was the last to go. Not that I mind staying back.. it's just that, we're always the latest to go back.<br /><br />However. After the tiring day of work, I finally get to enjoy myself. I went to baby's house for DVD! So fun. We dropped by 7-11 to buy chips, then went to his place, made Milo with ice, then eat the chips we bought while watching DVD. It was good. It was still a very nice date, and it helped save a lot. The happening areas were all jammed up anyway, and going out to places takes up lots of our money. Lol.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">*<br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Just had lunch - Popeyes. Yummy. God, I'm really gonna turn into a fat pig or what. My diet has been so imbalance ever since I start work. Dinner is always biscuit, then I came back for dinner at a very late time, in which dinner consumption tends to be very little due to not having appetite anymore. Late nights... then yesterday the DVD date with baby, I had Mamee at 1am. OH MY GOD!! This is NOT me. NOT my way of eating and dieting! NOOO!<br /><br />Pfft. What more can I do or say...<br /></div></div>Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00997464794639600129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453751047374085902.post-40082474881599613662010-08-23T08:08:00.000-07:002010-08-23T08:10:18.584-07:00What more?<div style="text-align: center;">One word.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />.<br />Exhausted.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Goodnight.

It's like, my life is moving forward again, from the days where I stoned in Rufffey I.D; from the days where I felt so restless at home doing nothing.<br /><br />Work is good. The place, the people... everything is so familiar to me, as I was working in Saatchi for 3 months as an intern last year. I feel comfortable working there. The little loop side is that, things are very confusing for me now. Sob. Because I just got in, and there are so many other projects going on already (about 20 projects at one time). There are so many new things for me to learn, so many things for me to follow up, so many new systems and information crashing down on me! Gah. And all the emails coming in so fast... all the people in the team where I'm introduced to - who is who? I have no idea men. It's hard because they're not stationed in Malaysia. All those people are situated in Bangkok, Philippine, Singapore, India... go figure.<br /><br />Since day 1, I've been staying back late in the office. The latest I stayed was till 10pm, all because of a stupid email I've to wait and a stupid file that I've to download. But then eventhough things are hectic and I'm so lost, feeling small in the office, I do like what I'm doing. I suppose that's a really good way of handling my job. I actually feel fine having to stay back so late and do work in the office.<br /><br />Colleague relations - still trying to grow. The boys are fine, they're fun infact. Lol. But em... the girls in my team, a little weird. But nah, it's nothing. Small matter. Lol. I've been to a few meetings - telecon meetings. And I thought I dislike it so much! Because you're only talking to the rest of the team and the clients via loud speaker, and you know how loud speakers suck. You can't see their expressions, their faces, and their voice are so hard to capture. I had trouble capturing every single word that they say, which every word is crucial and that they count. Gah... Trying my best to cope and learn.<br /><br />So, tomorrow is a new Monday again! It will be a brand new day, a good start of the week. Oh yeah. Will dress up nicely, setting my head straight up, and walk in the roller coaster plus thunder plus banjee-jump world again. Make all the mistakes I can, as many as possible, suck all in and transform them into knowledge that makes me improve as an AE. Uh huh.<br /><br />Good week ahead, guys. ;)Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00997464794639600129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453751047374085902.post-36328631487865619692010-07-31T09:25:00.000-07:002010-07-31T09:54:56.179-07:00Inception.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzJJLsWD21FUPrcunA0IqMaoxMJcvFcagS-BiZ7Oq3FjEOV2UWalNZDkCqJgJaJDtZ16yc1R_3-Wx9gNILWSpvxOCZ9hMljScgfLrKHng1NPaSE6pYllLb-bB6N-oEPzwzINE2zsoFqRA/s1600/inception_406x600_01.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 217px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzJJLsWD21FUPrcunA0IqMaoxMJcvFcagS-BiZ7Oq3FjEOV2UWalNZDkCqJgJaJDtZ16yc1R_3-Wx9gNILWSpvxOCZ9hMljScgfLrKHng1NPaSE6pYllLb-bB6N-oEPzwzINE2zsoFqRA/s320/inception_406x600_01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500109111682063586" border="0" /></a>Hm. It's hard to review this particular movie. Well, can somebody, just anyone - anyone smart and clear enough, explain the whole movie to me again? Lol.<br /><br />No doubt. The movie is freaking hell awesome. The idea of the movie - dream within a dream within a dream; reality and imagination; designing and architecture a dream. Men, the idea of the movie is damn hot! The effects and stuff. I, no doubt, love the movie. It's just that, the terms that they use, the dialogues, they lead me to some lost land. I was so lost while watching it, but at the same time, so indulged in it. And as the characters sleep themselves into a dream after another, it gets even more complicating. But the purpose is there... you will be able to see it. Haha... I wanna watch it again! To fully understand the movie.<br /><br />By the way. I watched it with baby. Hm. Spent some really good quality time together for a Saturday. Will be seeing him again tomorrow, and we're gonna go somewhere for shopping. Sales! I need to get a pair of covered-toe heels. Saw one pair that I like from Oprah earlier before movie, but the one side of the shoe has stains. So, I pass, eventhough it's cheap. Then spotted another pair, which is pretty perfect, but the price is a little high. I guess I can find cheaper ones, just as pretty perfect as that... but well, if I can't, that will probably be the one I would get. Depending on it's availability, because when I inquire, it was again, the last pair. It's always like that! Annoying.<br /><br />Swoosh. So fast! It's 1st of August already. Tomorrow will be a Sunday that I wanna enjoy completely before work. I'm glad I'll be spending the day with baby... all smiles.<br /><br /><br />Till then, goodnight.Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00997464794639600129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453751047374085902.post-87472601359003730312010-07-27T20:56:00.000-07:002010-07-27T21:46:27.379-07:00For You, The Canberraians.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2gAaNrnb3h4PIoG_OjY148trFYRB5gQ-KKPW1kkvV4-vdzFR-2lgCZipfsHu2O4CcNihwGjz8jdwxDpEYCh3Xk5GZ3EUhCN0r2sUr-nyyNLdjLw9mqqGiVnfi7zMdiz5IaNuEik06WVs/s1600/IMG_5036.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2gAaNrnb3h4PIoG_OjY148trFYRB5gQ-KKPW1kkvV4-vdzFR-2lgCZipfsHu2O4CcNihwGjz8jdwxDpEYCh3Xk5GZ3EUhCN0r2sUr-nyyNLdjLw9mqqGiVnfi7zMdiz5IaNuEik06WVs/s320/IMG_5036.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498802948748588882" border="0" /></a>Yesterday was the last farewell dinner for the IAA's. 4 more days that are still counting, the above dearies will be leaving Malaysia to Canberra, Australia, to further their studies in advertising. Except for Vern - the one sitting in front. But ah, he said he's the representation of Jasper. So yea. Lol.<br /><br />The farewell dinner was held at Bianco, Tropics Shopping Centre. It was quite a nice place, and the food was very nice too! We had buffet style, all Italian food like pasta, pizzas, pumpkin soup... it was really delicious. And oh, the organizer invited two of our lecturers too - Meng Yoe, and Joanna. Awesome. Great to see them.<br /><br />It ended quite early though. Barely 10.30pm, the dinner has ended. But we stayed over a little longer to discuss the second part of the night. After a long and draggy discussion, I end up not going because as it has always been, they decided to go for beer AGAIN. So yea, I'm currently sick of alcohol, and I wanna prevent nagging from the parents for going home so late, plus I wanna save money. So I went back home with Keith and Cal.<br /><br />By the way, below are my individual snapshots with the Canberraians.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_opiMHyPDaKplT39ePNKfCMqa8KFMnWHKnbnUtl8ik_UHAMXHgTcdbNP8bDyjjji5r7EWRmwB0bSgakIAgGhwk5SQNgAbTppRXlsAltGdilZVEOa110myP7WUMVQLasBWg-hCO1vOqE0/s1600/IMG_5001.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_opiMHyPDaKplT39ePNKfCMqa8KFMnWHKnbnUtl8ik_UHAMXHgTcdbNP8bDyjjji5r7EWRmwB0bSgakIAgGhwk5SQNgAbTppRXlsAltGdilZVEOa110myP7WUMVQLasBWg-hCO1vOqE0/s320/IMG_5001.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498802782993662722" border="0" /></a>Dear Alice.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpV56oz5opp58qViuk7aBJdqsavQyyg92ShUCsEkKQsHdBK1HOBJqiDUmkaaNZKWQbD8wuUZ7-7lRgVXhztm6VzvS_5U9TBwTlTjeMzJvexoeAmBWuKkpf0sxcCFWU2sYTlbCR42TkW1I/s1600/IMG_5027.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpV56oz5opp58qViuk7aBJdqsavQyyg92ShUCsEkKQsHdBK1HOBJqiDUmkaaNZKWQbD8wuUZ7-7lRgVXhztm6VzvS_5U9TBwTlTjeMzJvexoeAmBWuKkpf0sxcCFWU2sYTlbCR42TkW1I/s320/IMG_5027.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498802539058028082" border="0" /></a>Mature Calvin.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGZkpi3wJR5OXdB3l4hC-83tXXMhsnt9a0A5bxXqij49CouFLI-sNh9DsFhkFex8ZTwNEmsv_HmGHEza2lsZkgutjXGyheNf-_TLv9TJ4-wpssiRI_pIBV0AHltwZR2S0yp_rOqmF7RuE/s1600/IMG_5029.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGZkpi3wJR5OXdB3l4hC-83tXXMhsnt9a0A5bxXqij49CouFLI-sNh9DsFhkFex8ZTwNEmsv_HmGHEza2lsZkgutjXGyheNf-_TLv9TJ4-wpssiRI_pIBV0AHltwZR2S0yp_rOqmF7RuE/s320/IMG_5029.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498801632367073266" border="0" /></a>Rocker Keith.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZUvQLKMHnOsjpD-xalZ2ayz_zrPvaa2Jx6ClS4u52HN5prYOrkJNZ15UY1YGGCdX0GjNlVzKg5727cA9ukcUHzkQnOg0KJ1OYRusDwH6NT1UJX_XYzeGes3Z4VeE_00WmiUmCD23AJWw/s1600/IMG_5032.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZUvQLKMHnOsjpD-xalZ2ayz_zrPvaa2Jx6ClS4u52HN5prYOrkJNZ15UY1YGGCdX0GjNlVzKg5727cA9ukcUHzkQnOg0KJ1OYRusDwH6NT1UJX_XYzeGes3Z4VeE_00WmiUmCD23AJWw/s320/IMG_5032.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498801512346272690" border="0" /></a>Ducky dear Dwayne.

Kind of miss working there, and also the other weird/funny promoters. Lol.<br /><br />I just got back from Taiping. It was a very random and sudden trip back to visit the relatives. As usual, it was boring, humid - the electricity was cut off in the middle of the night, gah. We had to wait for the electricity to come back in order to go to bed. But this time, we get to visit the new hotel - Flemington Hotel. We had both lunch and dinner there. It was nice! Plus, it's damn cheap. Hm.<br /><br />Right now, I'm currently taking a week off. Then I'll start work officially at Saatchi on 2nd August. Gasp. Scarily exciting and nerve-racking! Will appreciate my time so well... Should I go shopping? Hm.. still thinking about it, in deep dilemma. Pfft. It's like, I got my pay already, and I wanna reward myself a little by buying some things. But at the same time, I wanna save up, don't wanna waste money. I don't know what I wanna buy; just feel like getting something. Lol.<br /><br /><br />Peace out.Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00997464794639600129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453751047374085902.post-29494515558854401822010-07-18T08:40:00.000-07:002010-07-18T09:12:40.099-07:00IACT Convocation 2010!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtWEU6hyphenhyphenBMZSQETQ4D2V0FsgNYKXrOuTykUFuCXH00Ig-_S20didY111t85pKQDXoS9w0PA78TOOGihQUw88dYRLIPexTh-FYCCuYGcOkGvXrvDSIu7B-e7poc2UC61FNTy6bU7XNmZqc/s1600/IMG_4952.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtWEU6hyphenhyphenBMZSQETQ4D2V0FsgNYKXrOuTykUFuCXH00Ig-_S20didY111t85pKQDXoS9w0PA78TOOGihQUw88dYRLIPexTh-FYCCuYGcOkGvXrvDSIu7B-e7poc2UC61FNTy6bU7XNmZqc/s320/IMG_4952.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495273086559023698" border="0" /></a>17th July 2010, I officially graduated at One World Hotel - The IACT Convocation 2010. Woohoo! After a 2 and a half hardcore years wandering around IACT; all the ups and downs, left and right; crashing and burning; joy and memories; they all were rounded up and came to an end. My college life is over, then a new journey begins.<br /><br />I feel so grown-up already. No more books, notes, assignments... I'm an adult that is gonna face the real world, practically 1 more week away.<br /><br />It started at 8am, and that's actually a rehearsal for all the graduates. We had to try on our gowns, our seats, numbering, queue to receive our certificates... then the exact ceremony started at 9.30am. The graduation ceremony was no doubt, a blast. Eventhough my parents didn't make it, I still felt gracious and simply happy. Seeing friends, chatting, laughing, mingling, we graduate together - awesome! I couldn't be happier. It felt so good to dress up so nicely to the ceremony. Everyone was neatly suit up in their formal attires; leather shoes, jackets, ties, heels, make-up - we were all pretty. Lol. Then we had to put on the gown. That was funny! I was being called a garbage bag because the gown was so huge! Hahaha.. and it's heavy. Pfft. So tiring wearing it, our bodies were all stiff in the gown. But it was so fun to wear it, all of a sudden, we were like in the Harry Potter movie, walking around with the big gown. Some speaking in the Hogwards' accent, the magic broom, spells - hardcore jokers.<br /><br />After many speeches given by the VIP's, it was time for the graduates to get on stage to receive our certificates. It was kind of nerve-racking! While lining up, I felt so jolly inside, I got even more jolly and nervous when it was my turn to get on stage. It was very quick though, like a few seconds thing - step up, shake hands and take the certificates, pose for the photographers, then go. Lol.<br /><br />It ended around 1pm. After the ceremony, everyone was back to mingling. Many catching up and photo-taking. Oh, I forgotten to mention that the refreshment that they served was actually quite nice! I mean, it's ok to pay that RM120 for the convocation after all. The hotel's grand and up to standard... yea, it was all perfect.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibrGlqZhquodh9lnVwxsUCoCrMv-uW7XXGWyE8SvHsG7br3_HZhH7nrst9o95Mj4ge3NII4se2xW4_jJllX1FmjN60lCIMH-PtH8SgSyG24esRoVDrlhZhTbxYowfACqxEQeIfxoQXKfE/s1600/37692_1441858578891_1605871880_31085013_1037677_n.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibrGlqZhquodh9lnVwxsUCoCrMv-uW7XXGWyE8SvHsG7br3_HZhH7nrst9o95Mj4ge3NII4se2xW4_jJllX1FmjN60lCIMH-PtH8SgSyG24esRoVDrlhZhTbxYowfACqxEQeIfxoQXKfE/s320/37692_1441858578891_1605871880_31085013_1037677_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495272515811888914" border="0" /></a>This is a group picture, but not a perfect one, because it's only a few of us. I'm still waiting for more pictures to be uploaded so that I can grab them. Would upload it soon! However, you can always check out all the photos in Facebook.<br /><br />By the way. After the ceremony, we went for a drink at OU to catch up with each other. Then we planned to celebrate our graduation once more, so we headed down to Bangsar South City at midnight. Gosh, as usual - the alcohol. Hm. It burnt my wallet, and it made me so tipsy. So tipsy I felt so sick and suffering this morning when I woke up. I don't wanna drink anymore! Just thinking of the smell of alcohol can make me sick already. *vomit*<br /><br /><br />Alright. I shall stop here. Let the memories fill me in again.

Not too late eh? It's only the 11th today. Hehe.. Oh well, I'm gonna be really direct and short here. The movie is CORNY. Oh my god. It's really lovey dovey; all over the place, infact. Between Edward and Bella; Bella and Jacob; between Edward, Bella, and Jacob - go figure. The lovey scenes were so sweet they made my heart itch a little. It's not a bad thing, just that... this feeling I got while seeing them so close. They were just too sweet, the romance setting filled almost the whole of the movie and the cinema; my heart. The killing scenes made me laugh. Lol. It looks so funny when the vampires break apart like glass when they get hit and killed. Hm. But there's one thing for sure - Bella is so damn lost! She's too clingy, but not as clingy as she was in New Moon. But still... she kissed both Edward AND Jacob. I mean, babe, you gotta decide, you know? Lol. The movie was so predictable because I already read the storybook. So it was more of a flashback of what's gonna happen. Despite knowing how the story's gonna go, the too-much-romance, I still like the movie. As usual, I love the setting of Twilight - the cold, icy, dark setting. Also, the unusual songs that the movie plays where you never heard of.<br /><br />Oh hey, I actually noticed one thing. Edward - he looks better in Eclipse. I don't know how on earth I find that, but yea... he does look better. In scenes where he's calm, simply just talking to Bella, he looks so smooth; and well, simple. Which I find it nice. Maybe he has been maturing physically. The previous Twilight Saga episodes, Edward looked like nothing but a super pale drug addict. Tsk. Bella looks prettier and prettier. LOVE her hair.<br /><br />I wanna catch Despicable Me, if I can.<br /><br /><br />Ahhh. Back to work tomorrow. Sleep tight people. Hopefully, it'll be a good week again!Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00997464794639600129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453751047374085902.post-77335254250649132362010-07-10T09:26:00.000-07:002010-07-10T09:31:34.836-07:00Breather.After a long week, I finally get to recharge myself today. As usual, I hang out with baby at his place, then we went dinner at Piccadilly's with my family. Quite a self-relaxing day...hmm. Will be watching movie tomorrow - excited! It feels so long of not going to the cinema. And yea, I'm kind'a broke; don't wanna talk about it! I only know that the piece of formal shirt I bought is worth. Lol. Till then I guess.

The retail has really freaking weird policies. It makes no relevance at all... especially this policy regarding employees' monthly salary. They'll only issue out last month's pay on this month's 18th to 20th. What the hell. After working a month, but you don't get your salary right at the end of that month, but the mid of next month. Pfft... I so need to spend some money men. And IACT convocation is coming really soon! I need a really nice formal wear. Sigh.<br /><br />I'm feeling all itchy - I need to do some shopping. Sob sob.<br /><br />Meanwhile, I really can't wait any longer to watch Despicable Me, and of course, super duper wooper MUST-WATCH - The Twilight Saga: Eclipse! Gasp. Both movies will be out the same day, 8th July! Hmm mmm.<br /><br />Well... that's all for now, I guess. Lol. Goodnight world.Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00997464794639600129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453751047374085902.post-3938680288746246402010-06-25T21:03:00.000-07:002010-06-25T21:40:56.444-07:00Things So Far.Hey blogger!<br /><br />One week passed. I've been busy! Because I'm actually working at OU - Rufffey I.D every Mondays to Fridays. It's only my first week so far, and things have been fine. I'm getting used to the retail, the way the business goes, and I think I'm actually doing quite well because I always get sales coming in from the customers I served. Lol! The only thing is that my legs have been extremely painful everyday as the promoters are required to stand during working hours. No sitting at all! God. Standing for 9 hours everyday... pfft. But I'm also already getting used to it.<br /><br />Meanwhile, I've gotten call from Saatchi & Saatchi. My mentor has already gotten me a place to work as a permanent staff. The pay is quite good! Plus together with a permanent staff's benefits like insurance, petrol, parking fee...etc. I'm already half way through Saatchi & Saatchi, so I'll be having one more interview with the director soon to 100% get the job. I'm really so excited about it! The official job will start on August. So at Rufffey I.D, I'll be resigning end of July.<br /><br />Little did I notice that Michael Jackson has already passed on for as long as 1 year, 25th yesterday, which was also me and baby being together for 2 years and 1 month. Look at just how fast time flies... when I heard Jackson's songs on the radio yesterday while driving to work, hell I couldn't believe it's been 1 year already, as I still thought that it's been just a few month; half a year. Hm. And what have I achieved? Erm. A job at OU, I guess? Hehe. And also my graduation as a diploma holder in advertising. As well as an upcoming job at Saatchi & Saatchi. My final exam results is out too... and well, sigh. I didn't do so well. But whatever, it's still distinction, I hope. And I'll still get my certificate; most importantly I already have a job waiting for me.<br /><br />Now, I'm just thinking about the money, now that I'm working. Lol. This new chapter is starting to run! And it's been running well.<br /><br /><br />Stay tuned.Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00997464794639600129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453751047374085902.post-160241204178265902010-06-17T04:07:00.000-07:002010-06-17T05:22:36.295-07:00A Date Yesterday.Mom says something is wrong with me, all because I "always" go out and come back home late. ALWAYS. I wonder what is her definition of always. Only in this week, I only came home late like, about 3 times? But to her, it's always, and that proves that something is wrong with me. Pfft... how weird. I got that from a note that was stick on my cupboard when I got home yesterday night - 2.30am.<br /><br />By the way! Hm. Yesterday was so fun. At night, I was so bored at home I thought I was gonna go crazy. Then I got an sms from baby. He was also thinking about the same thing like I did - to hang out with each other! Lol. So we discuss and discuss, we finally decided to go out for a late movie. We went to The Curve, watched The A-Team.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHyppoOolVviDuHlShTgYhRWGWdjWaBlrMaX1q5AUmVu-6wcOCVwom4HLzeJ6Y38MGdJaRD6WPG00JVJ6RZFlrAEhGCkvWwUYCjjavh07_vS0jmY1IsdNCLImeXtV6uqJoBjviEop2tT8/s1600/a_team.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 216px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHyppoOolVviDuHlShTgYhRWGWdjWaBlrMaX1q5AUmVu-6wcOCVwom4HLzeJ6Y38MGdJaRD6WPG00JVJ6RZFlrAEhGCkvWwUYCjjavh07_vS0jmY1IsdNCLImeXtV6uqJoBjviEop2tT8/s320/a_team.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483699279702643378" border="0" /></a>The A-Team was hell of a funny movie! I have to say I love it a lot. It was full of actions, and damn funny at the same time. I thought all the 4 members of A-Team are very strong characters too - they're all hot! Only thing is that, the cinema was so freaking noisy. A lot of freaks were high or something, making so much noise in the cinema; cheering for the movie; laughing too loud; attention seekers, I suppose.<br /><br />Anyway. Back to our night out. I had a really great time with baby... it's been so long since we last go out like that at night, doing our own things. Because the movie was a 11.50pm show, we still had plenty of time before the movie starts. So we walked out a little further from The Curve to some mamak near the neighborhood to kill time. We had shisha! I kind'a like it after I tried it at a friend's place while we swim. It was nice. So baby and I then thought of doing it together. But agh, the shisha we had, the flavour wasn't that nice... infact, it made me feeling so sick. Felt like puking, feeling dizzy. Totally ruined my mood for everything. But it's not just the shisha alone apparently - I sucked in too much at one time. Yea... hehe. But I got better as we go along with the movie. The date was perfect. But it would be extra perfect without the shisha. I don't like shisha now!<br /><br />Other than going out, and having the rush to go out all the time, I haven't do much.<br /><br />I'm so in love with baby. Look how far we've come... and things have been really great now. I also realize, having a partner doesn't mean you've to have him near you all the time. Lesser communication is sometimes the best medicine in pulling each other closer. And happier. But we've been seeing each other pretty often lately. Don't know why. Too needy for each other? Ha. Plus, I'm just really free lately... maybe that's why.<br /><br />Woohoo, will go to the mall tomorrow to look for a part time job. I don't know why, but I've a very good feeling that I'll get a job right away, and that I'll start work next Monday. But whatever the cost, I must get a job and start work next week. I don't wanna be so reckless anymore! Can't stand myself. I'm also looking forward to my convocation; take my diploma cert and graduate officially; then sign up at Saatchi & Saatchi to be an official employee in the advertising business!<br /><br /><br />What's next?<br />Toy Story 3 - Sigh. No more watching I guess. Maybe next week.<br />This Saturday - On!<br />Work work work.<br /><br /><br />Are you still staying tuned? Ciao. ;)Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00997464794639600129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453751047374085902.post-20810241576116837712010-06-13T21:57:00.000-07:002010-06-13T22:17:48.119-07:00Hereby, some reports.Yohoooo... So, I went down to KL - Sungai Wang, with May Yan last Saturday. And well, I've to say it's quite a worthy trip!<br /><br />I got myself a bag, finally. Something similar to the one I'm having now, but much more funky - as in the color of the bag. It's navy blue! But the bag design is really really simple. Hm. And it only costs RM24.70! How cheap can it get eh? It's a good deal. Other than that, I also got myself a casual button-up dress. It's denim like, but the cloth material is not denim (if you get what I mean). I bought that out of spontaneity. It was hanging there... and you know, I spotted it, and I thought it'll definitely fit me... think and think a bit... it's only RM25. How cheap can it get some more? So yea, I decided to buy it. May Yan bought the same thing like mine! Only a different denim blue... pfft. Saw many denim boyfriend tops as well, that I really wanted to own one, but I passed. Too expansive. Next time, maybe.<br /><br />I only bought those 2 items. No more buying!! Argh. My wallet is so damn broke, with so many holes - paralyzed. Almost dead. I should really get a part time soon. But ah, thinking back the day I shop there. After buying my navy blue bag, then we walked around the mall some more. Until we stopped by this shop, and I felt so pissed and stupid. I saw this bloody cool bag - very nice quality, rugged, black and brown, and it's only hell RM60. It's so damn worth it! The quality is really good. The design is so great. When I saw the bag, I had this rush of buying it, I couldn't help it. But well, the angel won - I already bought a bag, and there's no way I should spend on redundant items. Sigh. Then I walked away from the bag... not just that particular bag, but the shop had many other bags with similar designs and quality, all for RM60.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">*<br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br />It's Monday today. Will be home the whole day. So is Tuesday, Wednesday... Thursday, Toy Story 3 will be out! I so wanna watch it. Might grab my sister to go watch with me, as she wants to watch it also, anyway.<br /></div></div><br /><br />What's next?<br />Toy Story 3 - as mentioned, might watch it by this weekend.<br />Food Hunting Trip at Malacca - a definite no. So damn broke already.<br />Saturday - a very special moment and a special day... I can't wait.<br />Job hunt - ha, next Monday!<br /><br /><br />Stay tuned, buddy!Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00997464794639600129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453751047374085902.post-34278899862558922542010-06-10T00:29:00.000-07:002010-06-10T00:43:09.630-07:00Shreky!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLLmJ86ix3N-QHbMfPcu25TvX2W2gTO0B5Ry0x_ouJ0ELKV41VV-PdpgEoIyLH7nqITjat-1Uh2_HWpyVSI0O0oEHEjub166xsyBfH_2PsyNi2IpVoRG6KlXv0347nhc7JMDduOJT-3X8/s1600/shrek-forever-after.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 216px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLLmJ86ix3N-QHbMfPcu25TvX2W2gTO0B5Ry0x_ouJ0ELKV41VV-PdpgEoIyLH7nqITjat-1Uh2_HWpyVSI0O0oEHEjub166xsyBfH_2PsyNi2IpVoRG6KlXv0347nhc7JMDduOJT-3X8/s320/shrek-forever-after.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481044345728219730" border="0" /></a>Yay! So I've finally watched Shrek! With my sister yesterday at OU. It was a Wednesday, but the cinema was still so pack. Helloo.. it's a weekday! I couldn't believe the amount of people in the mall that were taking up my space for the movie.. But thank God it was RM7 per ticket.. eventhough I sat really close to the screen, it's considered worthy.<br /><br />So how was Shrek? It was good. As usual. It's always so funny, so cute, so entertaining. And there's something about the songs that they play in the movie - they're oldies, which I really like. Only thing is, the movie has always been very predictable. Lol.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">*<br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br />I just came back from college not too long ago. Classmates had the Visual Comm. presentation, so I went there and have a look, plus hanging around a bit to kill time. Very interesting presentation! Looks like a really interesting and fun subject... but the workload, of course - I don't wanna imagine.<br /><br />And so, I don't know what to do now. I've been watching The L Word, and I'm getting SO BORED of it! My god. They've nothing more to do but to have sex, make out, have sex, and make out, and have sex again. Sigh. And what else? Cheating on each other all the time. Arguing over shitty things, then cheat on each other again. Liking someone else so fast, even when they're already so in love with their partner. What on earth...

Am sailing through my holidays...<br /><br />Gasp! It's already June men. Time flies! As always. And what have I done?<br /><br />Well. I haven't been doing much. But there were something. Lol.<br /><br />Firstly, I missed Mandy's birthday. Am sorry Mandy! If you're reading this. I missed it because I went to Genting for a 2-days-1-night trip with my college mates. Went there by bus - a 4.30pm bus. So we reached there pretty late. After checking in the hotel and stuff, it was already later than 6pm. It was an ok trip. But I tried something new - motion master. It was just ok though. I mean, it was quite an experience, but ugh, damn dizzy! I thought I would puke. Then we spent the night playing some silly games, and went to bed.<br /><br />Bed time - worst night ever! There were some problem that none of us could identify. It could be the room, the food, the weather, or simply us - we all couldn't sleep at all for the whole night. We were so awake. There were lots of sounds. And some pranks being made here and there! We ended up talking and playing around in the middle of the night, until 5am, we then decided to try to fall asleep. Well yea, I did fall asleep. But after awhile, I got "something" sitting on me. Yea.. and I was awake again. It was nothing. I knew what was happening to me...I didn't freak out, but I scared my roommates! Gah. Then after settling down, we all got a bit of sleep.. JUST A BIT. Pfft.<br /><br />The next morning was damn tiring. After on and on dragging, we all got home around evening.<br /><br />After the Genting trip, I went shopping, where I decided to spend some time with my long lost friend - Kah Mun dear. She changed so much! So mature already. Such a big girl. Still remembering she is younger than me by 1 year, and she used to be so baby in high school. It was really nice to see her that day, not forgetting I got new eyeshadow shades, which I kind'a regret buying it - not the exact color I wanted! Still trying to find.<br /><br />And oh, way before the Genting trip, I also went to Sanctuary with my babes. It was an awesome night! Had uncountable fun with them. Had nice food at Full House, nice liquor and beer. Had a little hang over, but it was all good.<br /><br />Fun times aside. A few of the babes and I got the chance to visit S.Peng's newborn baby too! It's a baby boy, very very young... Looking at the baby boy, my friend who gave birth, as well as her husband - they're all so young still. I can't help but keep wondering what would their future be like; how would the parents bring up the baby; how would the baby look like in few years time; all in all, I wish the new and young family all the best in life.<br /><br />At the mean time, I got a chance to spend time together with baby's family. It's been so long. We had dinner together, and we spend the night till later than usual at a lounge in Holiday Villa. We grew together with the night having supper at Paramount... remembering baby and I drinking together, listening to music with his parents together - it was a very nice get-together once in awhile.<br /><br />But apart from baby's family, I'm of course spending lots of time with the folks. Just today, we went to Sushi Tei in Tropicana City Mall for lunch. It was really good! Had really nice and satisfying lunch. We also made a trip to OU after that to get the new sushi-like doughnut from Big Apple. If I'm not mistaken, it's called the "donashi" - freaking cute! I love them, especially the donashi with green tea base plus orange balls on top as "ebiko". Lol.<br /><br />Spending time at home feels good too. Other than the TV and the internet, I spend most of my time on The L Word. Whilst discovering new songs from time to time, I've mastered the guitar tabs of "The Only Exception" by Hailey Williams from Paramore - a nice song. I can play, and I thought I can sing that song quite well. Hehe...<br /><br />What's next?<br /><br />To watch Shrek Forever After - A sure thing this Wednesday.<br />Shopping at KL - Also a sure thing! It must be a sure thing.<br />Food hunting in Malacca - maybe?<br /><br /><br />Stay tuned. If you want to. ;)Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00997464794639600129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453751047374085902.post-81705361990372758222010-05-21T06:06:00.000-07:002010-05-21T06:08:01.506-07:00Towards The End.2 papers down. Finished my final group presentation today. It was good!<br /><br />And 1 more paper to go next week, and I'm done! Woohoo!<br /><br />Can't wait for all to end. Can't wait for my chilling days... can't wait for the plans. Yoohoo..!Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00997464794639600129noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453751047374085902.post-76841382308858804522010-05-08T08:29:00.000-07:002010-05-08T09:16:01.772-07:00Circles.I'm glad the event is finally over. Every bit of it. It's all done, and over.<br /><br />Phew... really a big relief, I've to say.<br /><br />Also. Throughout this whole semester, I discovered some really weird things.<br /><br />Maybe I'm just being too sensitive... but I don't know. After all, I just don't belong to some place. Some circles that are available, or that I'm being surrounded by. I find things so cliche these days. People are often being fake. For example, you obviously dislike a person, but you still act friendly and chatty with that person whom you dislike.<br /><br />People tend to talk about how people do things, and what crappy things they've been doing. But the fact is, they themselves - the ones who're talking about other people, are also doing the exact same thing where he or she talks about on the person whom, all these while, being as crappy as he or she is being said. They tend to forget about the "mirror self" principle.<br /><br />Sometimes, it feels as though you're a close friend to a group of people. But when fun things come in, do you really get a share of it also? Or simply certain topics that they tell and not tell you about, it feels as though there's a solid wall in between. Like you're somehow not through to them; not through to what they share with you. For example, he or she can be so crazy and out-about with his or her friends. But when he or she faces you, things become a little formal.<br /><br />Those circle of people... it feels as though you join in just for the sake of socializing. For the sake of getting involved. For the sake of getting a fair share of stuff to play or to talk about. When the fact is, with them, you are sometimes not the real you. Not that you become superficial, but your true personality can't seem to outdo them. Or at least, to be at the same level. Hence, you feel as though you're someone where nobody notice even when you pass them by.<br /><br />When you're feeling reserved, and then they will come up to you and pasture you to go for some party crashing or beer fest. Now that you get there, yes, you will definitely have fun. But sometimes, occasionally, you find yourself not really able to enjoy totally at the party, particularly with the people that are at the party. It's occasional... The best thing is, you found happening pictures posted up around pages and corners, the "closest" are in there, and then you will wonder - "Oh, ok. I didn't know about this. Not even from you/some of you/you guys." But when you have something interesting on, you would often think of putting them on the main list first.<br /><br />When things like this occur, from where the problem comes from can be very subjective, I suppose. Depends on how you view it. Depends on how you interpret it. Depends on how you take and feel about it. All I know is, people should be who they are when they are around people. I want to be myself, whenever, and wherever I am. So what if I'm not that crazy? So what if I'm not as loud as you? So what if I'm not as funny as you? So what if I'm not as clingy as some bitch who wants all the attention? So what if I'm silent? So what if I don't get the group to talk? Why not you take all the lights then, what's wrong with that? Just because I'm not all of the above, that means there must be a wall in between?<br /><br />People always say, the first is always the best. I believe so.<br /><br />I believe the very first circle you got attached to is the circle where you really belong. You always feel the most comfortable in that circle. You can always be yourself in that circle. You never have to fake...never have to laugh at things that are not even funny...never have to do things that you don't normally do when you're in that circle. You can show your ugliest side, for instance, without putting on make-up - that circle of people still look at you the same without giving whatever comments about you're bare skin. That first circle of people will always put you in their heart, regardless, and you'll definitely be invited to just any occasion. No matter how bad the party suck, as long as you're attending with that circle of people, you will find yourself enjoying to the max. We do very simple things together. They know you. They confront you about everything - there's no wall in between. And we do tell each other sometimes that we love each other, and that we really mean it.<br /><br />I'm so glad and thankful that I have that circle of people with me, since years ago. And I believe we can stay like how we are now till we get old. I want it that way.Karmenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00997464794639600129noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453751047374085902.post-54908156624572641692010-05-04T21:27:00.001-07:002010-05-04T21:43:27.532-07:00Plans ahead.Exams are around the corner. It's only 2 weeks away! Gosh. Hate the revision process... afraid of it, infact. So before any of those crash my days, I wanna do as much as possible in having fun!<br /><br />Had a few plans lined up already, actually. We were so crazy we planned to do so many activities together before and after exams. Like shopping, exploring yummy food, swimming, archery, playing kites, Sunway Lagoon, a vacation, staying over a friend's place and play cooking... wow! How exciting?? At the same time, these plans make my heart sank a little. It only shows how quick it is that we're all gonna part ways - some to Australia, some local, some to degree levels, some to work... will miss my college life so damn much. But just recently, I've gotten a few calls from my past internship agency. They've been looking for AE's desperately, and I'm chosen. They sounded really pushy. It scares me men! I'm so not ready. Can I just close my eyes and simply walk my way to enjoying my last bit of college life first?? Come on, give me a break men..<br /><br />Well. Now that I'm so close to exams, this Saturday will be the last bit of the event I'm doing for Corporate Comm. subject. It will be the event at the zoo, with all the orphans playing games that the crew had planned. It'll be a very LONG day. Plus the exhaustion. And yea, thanks to this stupid event, I might not be able to go to the Sepang Circuit to watch car racing. What the hell! This is total crap. Baby wanted to bring me with him to watch the race, and the entrance is only freaking RM10. And the race is at night. How awesome is that?! I've always wanted to go to the circuit and look at the race, because it is a damn hot and interesting thing to do. Now that I've the chance to, the event will have to throw that dream of mine away. Sigh.. It's not that I can't make it, I can actually. But well, might have some other stuff holding me back after the event, like maybe, class dinner? Sob. Really hope I can go right after the event, then I'll be able to make it for the race!<br /><br />Very soon, May will come to an end. How fast is that huh... I wanna do so many things. But only if time allows. It's always going forward so fast.<br /><br />Today, I've no class. But I'm home, going online only. It feels like wasting time, but where can I go? Money is also an issue.

So after shopping, we decided to watch movie, our of spontaneity. And we decided to watch Ip Man 2! Yoohoo!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFq8la2BBrwzCWi-IBXPR0A-f1oc3yn8B3Nh7QA5DzDS9qoTy0ixa8MZ1yoO0qGf57tHqgK4TG8-rW5OTAuJRui0ZTCfxgRLUzAQmiJheLr4k_NiMoD1P9sc1gb7rGbXMijQW3YX_VSVE/s1600/Ipman-moviepix-2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFq8la2BBrwzCWi-IBXPR0A-f1oc3yn8B3Nh7QA5DzDS9qoTy0ixa8MZ1yoO0qGf57tHqgK4TG8-rW5OTAuJRui0ZTCfxgRLUzAQmiJheLr4k_NiMoD1P9sc1gb7rGbXMijQW3YX_VSVE/s320/Ipman-moviepix-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465913573789029746" border="0" /></a>I'm totally satisfied with this movie, just like how satisfied I was after watching the first Ip Man. However, Ip Man 2 is a little simple, compared to the first episode, in storyline wise. The history of China being overtaken by the Japanese or British is not being described too much in this one. Which is also fine, I personally think. The kung fu choreography is still as awesome! My god. Look at all those skills, the punches, and the kickings... all bloody breathtaking. And thrilling! Some people in the cinema was so into the fighting match they actually clapped hands when Ip Man won the match - in the movie. It's not even live! Imagine if the match was live. Lol.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhStnZSHikJOJohduIdu6vY4TDT7W48YJI2Y4CNEQoSjp3RflrSCisUDENOHSrPEeYpH7MK271AZtsnZ1x7GRCkY_xMs5hzeKhTUGAk68vx6fpPJfJKg72Oh_F9WkN0R9DZ3whuy-N7vCE/s1600/ipman5.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhStnZSHikJOJohduIdu6vY4TDT7W48YJI2Y4CNEQoSjp3RflrSCisUDENOHSrPEeYpH7MK271AZtsnZ1x7GRCkY_xMs5hzeKhTUGAk68vx6fpPJfJKg72Oh_F9WkN0R9DZ3whuy-N7vCE/s320/ipman5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5465911309774675090" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-ZVS2Su_AWMqYrO9_WAi57fxHBGxpFV9JYBBFeMJzy6gY1gCUM47W_Qmz6yqepKHf-gsEB-wzhElU_gRa5YtXvTHGw5y-HbvVRqS1GUVyfsPGrau0i7v5HZsHSbKOLZKWhS80LyEy_YM/s1600/Ipman-moviepix-2.jpg"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">And as usual, Donnie Yen has always been good.
