M

M actually stands for the topics I would bring up which are music and makeover.

As holidays rolls in, the search for good music continues as usual. Then, while watching Guess guess guess K歌王, I was drawn to some songs being sung by the celebrities. Wheee.... I went berserk and searched for the music to download them. As usual, I encountered some difficulties in looking for them because the best I can do is to type the han yu pinyin only. What a sad case (I know). Nevertheless, I like to do that because listening to those songs are jolt-shocking to the spine. I came across this song "男人不該讓女人流淚" by the original singer Wiliam So but I found out later that a few singers who sang his song, did better than him. Pity him, if I were him, I will feel like it is a slap on the face. One particular artist who re-sing the song in another version is Jam Hsiao. I like his husky voice which is very rock and roll yet strong.


Also, the subject of makeover was brought up last week by a friend. She asked me to fix myself with contact lenses. Hmmmmm.... Should I? I was tempted last time but sister brushed it off saying it will be too troublesome. I might and might not. Depends how it goes because I really would like to do new stuff. I am always very cincai with my appearance. But since I will be working soon, the thought did crop up again. Yes, would love to try for once. In addition, I would love to change my wardrobe too if I have handy cash. Let's see how things go. Wish me luck.

one more to go, let's go

when i took the corporate finance 2 exam today, i felt my blood was gushing to the brain. intense pressure. fortunately the exam is not as hard as I thought it would be. it is of combinations of hard and adequate difficulty questions. that is a huge relief because today is the first time in my university time that i woke up 630am to revise.

thank god. due to this really huge relief, i have apparently forgotten that i still have another paper on thursday. i watched dramas for the whole night up till now. let's pray for another easy exam on thursday, at least the question i know how to do. it would help me to boost my certainty to remain in accounting profession. recently, i was wondering should i step into the banking sector. the monetary reward looks enticing and a friend told me investment bank would only accept new employee at the maximum age of 25. after that, you are unlikely to get in because it is a very demanding job. hmmm.... probably. let's see how life goes

i believe everyone has his own destiny to follow. it is just a matter of time that everything falls into place. but one does have to work hard. success does not just fall from the sky. it comes with work, perseverance and at times, with a little bit of luck. =)

i am going for internship soon. weeee... kinda looking forward to it. finally getting experience as an office job, not the plain salesperson anymore. i have upgraded myself. hehe. look out, people, here comes me to rock you.

over optimistic

reading the news today is kinda shocking, hilarious and sad at the same time. first, shocking for the reason that i always thought singaporean economy is actually bigger than malaysia but is projected to surpass us this year if the figures predicted came true. hilarious for seeing the fantastic UPSR results. i can give you a reason for this: ELECTION is coming. sad for the cause of people who always have reason for every poor performance and never admit own's mistake. there is this infamous ex political figure who keeps blowing the racial slurs indirectly. i think people are wise enough to sense the motive of his own action. he is trying super hard to ensure that all he had done are right and nothing is wrong.

i shall not say name because u know who he is. he commented that singaporean economy is going to surpass malaysia for the reason singapore does not have any distribution social restructuring policy in place. funny... i am so ashamed on his behalf because he used to be someone whom i think has intelligence and charisma. shame on you. do you think that if our neighbouring country takes the same policy stance as us, they will be where they are today? of course not. stop fooling people around you.

 i have this wild imagination. what if he is trying to be the opposite figure so that everyone will react in the opposite direction of what he intended. but the more i see, i think the possibility is probably nil by now. do you know that the most intelligent person sometimes is the one most unlikely to admit own mistake. ponder awhile, people. you did not need far-fetched thought to come to this conclusion. and by seeing things from another perspective, you have stepped into the world of critical thinking.

and the UPSR results are making me laugh louder. are you trying to make every parent so happy to give them a sense of comfort that our education system is solid and well built. hmmm, no wonder the university's ranking is dropping. i wonder why. people like to be in a state of denial. Come on, 10% straight A's is a little too dramatic. even if i am one of the students, i will question my credibility and competence. it seems everyone has straight A's and the slip worth 0. after all, aren't you supposed to distinguished the very best from the goods. hell no, malaysia likes to make everyone equal. why not try communism for once like china did. then i think everyone will feel more at peace for knowing that everyone is just same like everyone.

blogger is laughing, frustrated and sad at the same time. time to move on, these news are actually within my expectations, just that the boundary has been pulled further.

yeaaa glee!!!!

i was cooking when i suddenly remembered today glee episode is being aired. yes! i love this week's song. i am all crazy about glee now. get off, GG, you are no longer loved. here comes glee. And I would like to make this symbol next time i take a pic. looks cool.

and also the favourite song of this episode would be song sang by kate perry i think. =)



blogger feeling musical

the story of a pangolin

it comes as a wonder then the subject of pangolin comes into view in the papers. i was wondering, "what is a pangolin?" i click into the page and saw the picture. aha! i never see that animal before. no wonder i don't know what it is. i heard of it before in primary school years.

it is actually known as tenggiling in bahasa melayu. a humble side of me arises for this animal exists in malaysia and yet, i did not take initiative to know the animal better. actually this tenggiling looks like the animal i saw before in the cartoon pokemon. haha.... it is known as sandshrew. OMG! i know a cartoon better than a real life animal. the fault should not be mine. i blame the education government for not introducing conservation programs which allow students to explore the wonder of nature. how nice it would be right, instead of memorising the kajian tempatan and moral values. what is the point, you tiao me?

recently, there is a trend among friends, not a lot, only two actually. a boy and a girl from penang. haha, quite obvious who they are once they read this. I almost laugh hysterically as I think the word 'tiao' is rather obscene but both of them INSIST they are different from the real expletive word in hokkien. Fine! I should use it as well to blend in with my good friends.

the image of tenggiling and landak are actually the same to me.... since the cartoon character shown that once the it evolves, it comes with thorns. how false is that. i am deceived by a cartoon character. now i know. hedgehog and pangolin are two separate animals. it is not too late to learn i guess. the awareness that comes with it is rather useful too. there is a chinese proverb something like "jing ding zhi wa" or katak di bawah tempurung. anyone knows the english proverb for them? please share.

blogger feels prouder for the fact he knows another animal which breathes in his motherland.

the life of newspapers

is the age of newspapers finally coming to an end? as i find it boring to be browsing through the newspapers, might as well read a magazine which i find informative. one of the article entitles, how to save our newspapers. it writes about the survival of American newspapers agencies are hanging on a thread. this is because there is an increasing number of readers who read online. isn't it a good thing that readers are reading? but the problem is readers are not paying while reading online. four centuries ago till recently, revenues of newspapers commonly come from subscription, news stand and advertising. however, the trend is changing, increasing number of readers is resorting to online papers which they can read for free.

hmmm...i am too one of the online reader. that is enough to qualify me to comment on this trend. accordingly, when online newspapers started, they took the move of allowing readers to read for free but once you start charging for access, people might be reluctant to do so. hence, the american agencies are searching for new business models to ensure survival in the long term. the co-founder of time also emphasises that over dependence on advertising revenue might have an impact on the objectivity of the writers. this can be interpreted as an insult to the journalism profession which focuses on integrity, objectivity instead of profit seeking. well, well, hopefully my much beloved newspapers do not fall into default category. after all, newspapers is one of my source of entertainment.

but no worries, another article has published that while american and european counterparts are facing increasing difficulty in sustaining themselves, the other side of the world seems to be enjoying huge successes. asian news agency seems to be doing rather well. one could say every cloud has a silver lining. while asian citizens face huge problems of internet connectivity and telecommunications infrastructure, these provide some sort of buffer to the newspapers industry. and asians also prefer the feel of reading newspapers every morning while sipping their favourite coffee.....how true is that. i used to wake up early Sunday morning to read The Star papers. Now, i am finding things to do on  a sunday. Maybe, it seems that while western countries are suffering in so many ways, asian are actually booming. this is what chinese always call, "feng shui lun liu zhuan". i think western citizens have been doing so well that they have forgotten to appreciate the good life that they always have. time for the asian economies to lead the world, hopefully nothing comes that screw the whole thing up.

for me, the touch of the newspapers is quite memorable. although the newspapers makes your fingers stain with black marks, it is the sign of the simple pleasure that you get. in a month's time, i will be enjoying simple pleasure again. so looking forward to it. Hopefully time can just fly to december without going through november. december, my favourite month of the year. there is Christmas to begin with.... =)

abnormalities

it is most probably the exams that are causing me to have such abnormalities. i have short attention span and currently i am having insomnia when i wish to sleep but i find myself still very active on the net.

it is quite frustrating at times. i dunno why, i think i must have internet addiction syndrome. maybe it is not as bad as i think it is. ok, time to sleep. ciao.

similarity

it is fun to go blogwalking. due to this reason, i found a blog which writes about the life of a cat. the cat is actually the blogger but he is depicting himself as a cat called miao. quite funny at times. i have temporarily forgotten how i found his blog. luckily i did save his blog list. and i am now addicted to his comical way of describing his everyday's life.

also my most recent addiction is manga. omg. it is supposed to be the love for books, not manga. haihhh.... whatever. i did study, just a rate which i find ridiculously slow. a chapter a day =.= okay, tomorrow i am going to work hard.

i found a blogger who likes christmas than chinese new year, same as me. the person accurately points out the difference. cny is just a bit too loud. i agree. i used to like cny songs but over the years, christmas songs have taken over my liking. sorry.... dun worry, i still enjoy cny because the extra cash is helpful.... hopefully everyday is cny for that particular matter. this year i dun think will be celebrating christmas though and next year's cny too. will be quiet times at home. still, at least i still can go mamak hang out, not really aso. just knew that only a few friends will be back when i am around. actually, dun feel like going back home but i dun feel like staying here either. at least back home can immerse myself with the comfort of food and i think my mum misses me terribly. haha.... that's what my aunt said anyway. my muka tak tebal one ok.

gambateh to me!

of different class

it is unique at times to see that since there are so many people around the world, you cannot seem to find an identical person who has the same everything with you. this makes the world special. it gives us the opportunity to know others.

while browsing through others' blogs, i came across some interesting and meaningful quotes here and there. some says life should not be about studies, some says life is about the joy in the ride, it is not the destination that matters and some just laments about life. when you go blogwalking ( a term i just learned myself), you get to see a glimpse of the person. in my humble opinion, a blog depicts a lot. the person's personality, style and feelings. one may argue, i can change my blog according to my liking, yet, will you be really willing to do it unless it is a liking of yours. probably not.

some blogs are of different class. their descriptions are such detailed yet intriguing in a sense. their words play with the element of creativity and sentimental value. i love reading the blog with class, not to say i dislike reading ordinary blogs. these blogs give you a zing to be better yourself and i find it really inspiring and motivated to be a better blogger and person myself. i always believe that a person's honesty is revealed when he has no audience, only then i learn about him.

blogger who finds another light in life...
