S.O.S.

Help me.

I'm so darn frustrated now.

Workload is so much that I have to bring home to complete, and the dateline is 7th of January. And I'm doing it with charity.

Goodness.

I'm beginning to really show the symptoms of stress. Loss of appetite (chance for me to go slimmer but I don't want this way swt), mood's not that good. Certainly I'm not helped by the fact that I used so many lousy laptops in the office either corrupted with virus, slow laptops as slow as Pentium 2 using WINDOWS ME or WINDOWS 98, OR a laptop which shuts down itself.

I USED ALL OF THEM IN A WEEK. Worse, sometimes I don't even have a laptop to finish my work.

But for the sake of learning, I'll continue, as this client is one of the biggest clients of my company. But the way I see it, the operations suck.

Beauty of accounting, is that you can laugh your arse out of how the transactions can sometimes go hillarious.

Now, my mood is even worse when MU JUST LOST TO WEST HAM. As a MU fan myself, I fully think MU really deserved to lose.

Let's hope Arsenal slipped up also. Sigh.

Bad day. Bad week.

Guess I have not done my night prayers for few days. Just fell asleep once I touched the bed. Lord, forgive me.

But thankfully, through God's powers, I received useful messages from my boss, which sounds like this,

What carries you far in work, and your life, is not how brilliant you work. It's your personality that determines how far you go.

In every adversities, there is ALWAYS a good side to them.

We always admire aristocrats from books, but to see one in real-life, is really inspiring. =)

Christmas Prayers

Dear Father Lord,

It has been a wonderful year,
truly blessed,
with Your arms around me when I have my up and downs,
even though I do not deserve it at all.

I have not been sincere to You at times,
I lied,
I have been frustrated by life sometimes,
I complain unnecessarily,
I disappoint.

But Lord, You have once again reminded me,
that life's always full of hope,
and how Your grace made me stronger throughout the year,
and appreciative of what I have but others don't.

You,
Family,
Friends.
Her.
Church friends,
Pastor.

Thank you Lord for being there for me all the time.

As the new year comes, I pray that You replenish me,
rekindle my burning spirit to achieve my aims
and never lose faith in You,
be a better person than what I am now.

I would also like to pray for my family, church members, friends and her,
who have so often been with me,
happy or sad,
Business Plan, outings, church events, sharings of problems together.
May they are blessed with Your grace as well.

May all of us have a wonderful and blessed Christmas and New Year.

Amen.

SOS!

I am having a REAL headache right now.

ANYONE,

ANY IDEAS FOR A PRESENT WORTH RM20?

It's for this stupid present-exchanging thing in my company's Christmas party in my boss's house.

WHAT PARTY SETS A RULE OR LIMIT FOR ITS PRESENTS?

=S

Anyway, I would really appreciate any ideas from all of you. Anyone.

THANKS A BUNCH! =)

Fantastico

Any football fan will be like me, anticipating for the MOST important weekend of the EPL season, come tomorrow.

No other football leagues can witness such fierce rivalries between the clubs.

Notably,



LIVERPOOL

VS



MANCHESTER UNITED

The rivalry of these two illustrious clubs existed since the era before I came out of my mom's womb, with classic matches which produced both significant and undeserving results for both sides. Not forgetting the great players and moments of brilliance produced which make the world so enthralled towards this gigantic clash. Fans from both sides give another dimension of excitement as well, or in another words, the atmosphere is ALWAYS deafening.

NEVERTHELESS, I hope MU can have an upper-hand over Liverpool. =P

What's more,




ARSENAL

VS

CHELSEA
Can you imagine, England's top 4 will meet each other on the SAME DAY at the SAME WEEKEND itself.
Fantastico.

Finally

I see the meaning of work!

After consecutive days of so-called "trainee" work (actually it is cheap labour to be honest) whereby few trainees and myself were asked, or paid to do filing. Filing as in arranging files according to numbers ONLY, and what's worse, we are supposed to arrange EVERYTHING in the new office room at the top floor.

What worst time could I possibly have to come to work in a company which just got renovated? GOSH!

And to think that the management said that we trainee MOST probably might not have place to sit as all the employees are back from their leaves.

We are the ones arranging the room for you people, and you tell me that we DO NOT have place to sit in the new office?

I'm really thankful I'm blessed with tremendous patience and few employers in there who were still nice to us, especially Claudine, the company secretary. =)

I have so many darn hillarious tales to share here with all of you in my 2 weeks of work, and I'll post more when I'm free. =D

Despite all the hard and nonsense work for the past few days, I think it finally paid off. At first, I came to office and sat there staring at the ceiling for a good one hour (which I'm amazed as it was the emptiest moment of my life) as the person I'm assigned to, was so busy that she forgot about us I assume. So after a good one hour sticking my butt to the chair, I somehow got inspired to go ask a senior near my desk to teach me what was he doing as I see hope in him.

IT REALLY DID!

My definition of work starts from that moment of brilliance. Lol.

So this senior, who has been working for quite a few years now, taught me the first thing auditors must do, which is statutory auditing. So after a brief explanation in which I'm already so happy like a dog wagging its two tails,

HE SO KINDLY ASKED THE SENIORS FOR ME IF THERE ARE ANY STATUTORY AUDIT FILES TO DO! =D

God's wonderful man. So we started with some files, and although my first attempt was very hard, I think I smiled for the longest period in my entire 2 weeks here at work. Lol.

I don't mind not having permanent seats as long as I have something to learn. =)

Rebuilding

It's been nearly a week since I last posted in my blog, and guess I never left my blog that long lol.

As you should know, I have been busy in working, and I do realize that working AIN'T fun at all. Seriously.

I really hope to learn more starting tomorrow onwards as thus far, I did not learn anything much. =S But one good thing is, the ever non-stop rushing culture of Malaysians has enabled me to keep, somewhat fit as I have to run up and down, sometimes even jumping down elevators just to catch the ever-unpredictable trains. Swt.

So today Pastor Ong shared with us about rebuilding ourselves in terms of character and things that we should do, and his words made me reflect on a lot of things especially this crazy world of ours.

Back then great leaders such as Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi fought for the freedom of the people, in which right now, the freedom is misused in many ways. Initially they fought with blood and tears to earn freedom, but seems like right now, the world has seen freedom as a tool of disastrous killings and the loss of innocent lives.

Too much freedom presumably.

Look at the world now. Look at Malaysia alone. Many years ago, a brutal killing of a 7-year-old would never be heard of. In contrast, child sex slavery is so common in some parts of the world since the turn of the millennium. Terrorism done by Asians was viewed as something "impossible" to happen, but after 911, America had to bow down to the abilities of Asian terrorism.

Where has the inner-conscience of humanity gone? Why are we destroying ourselves and the world which God has given to us? Why are we still doing things that we know they are wrong?

Ask yourselves. How many times have we gone against ourselves, and God just to get what we want for ourselves? We are all sinners, including me and the fact every minimal mistakes that we commit, are sins too. I lied before, I admit.

But the good thing is, we undeservingly have a HOPE, in which God has sent his only One, Jesus to Earth to save all of us. Unconditional love was, and always is what He gives towards all of us sinners, and also so many disabled ones out there. He's not afraid to get infected by sickness when He approached the sick ones.

Will we do that?

The sense of care and love are what the world lacks now. The SMS sent around to tarnish Dato Hishamuddin before the General Elections saying he doesn't need votes from all of us Chinese and Indians to win, just shows how foolish and greedy certain parties are just to earn victory. So many people out there would just do anything to save their own skin at the expense of others. For that matter, one of them used to be one of my close ones, and one whom i don't consider of getting close to anymore. Greed was the word that destroyed him in the end, and he never returned since. How much tears he used to bring to me, but after that the acceptance of Christ has taught me a lesson to not to be greedy and not to hurt my loved ones at best, even though the experience was a really painful one.

Nothing's too late though. Peace all over the world is still achievable if everyone has compassion, and certainly, the will to rebuild oneself. =)

Lastly, some updates on EPL, ARSENAL going down at Boro 2-0 XD

Fa-la-la Period

Understood, Christmas and New Year's eve are coming.

EXCITED I AM! =D

Just few weeks away from now, but the bad thing is, I might start work next week, which makes me even busier.

My first official work, and thankfully in an accounting firm. RM600 as pay for first-year students like me and doing some data entry stuff, so I should be fine. =)

I can finally apply my cyberslacking skills I posted in my blog last time. Boss, try catching me muahahahaahha. =P Just kidding. I'm not that professional.

Decorations were already on in some shopping complexes, and I would think we lack one important factor,

SNOW!


To think that EVERYTIME I have to celebrate Christmas under burning sunlights or torrential rains if we are unlucky. =S Lol. I have always wondered how celebrating Christmas in overseas will be like, and after seeing them building snowmans, throwing snowballs and ice-skating (not fake ice in Sunway Pyramid), how I wished I could be there.





Christmas in Germany.

So different from Malaysia, isn't it?

But of course, all in all, the most important thing is that I am able to celebrate Christmas in church together with my loved ones. =D





The bells are ringing folks. Time to shop for Christmas.

Exploding

I really feel like exploding.

I really feel like screaming my lungs out, but I don't know how.

I really feel like running to the beach in front of an open sea and

AARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Sometimes frustration just pops up, and it's like one of those days when I feel so irritated.

Anyway, to Vivian, Yoong Siang and Claryn, I hope you all had a great time celebrating your birthdays, which I'm sure you all did. =)

Inspired

Words could not describe how INSPIRED I was for the last few days, and no one else can inspire that much except for Him alone.

I think I'm so inspired that I don't even have time to blog. Haha.

On Saturday, our church held a year-end offerings from all the cell groups in the church as a tribute to God's wonderful blessings on all of us who believed in Him. Everything went so smoothly that even aged groups performed like they were in their best days. Madams or uncles alike, they all just gave their best shot, and this really touched me a lot. Thankfully my group, full of bubbly teenagers kicked off the night with the first performance, and somehow we set the mood. =)

And then the next day, the whole church collaborated to clean up the church as Christmas is coming.

BEST TIME OF THE YEAR! =D

But Christmas is not just about Santa Claus passing by your chimney or exchanging of presents, but is to mark the presence of Jesus who saved so many lost souls, including mine. Doesn't matter the cleaning is hard or not, ALL of us just wanted to serve the Almighty Lord together. =)

And now the one thing which really inspires me is God's faith towards those who really believe in Him. My church's pastor surely can testify this.

It was on a Thursday night when he went home from prayers session in church, and when he reached his house with his family, he was met with two robbers, which one of them slashed my pastor's right arm as he tried to fight back. Thankfully for God's presence, the other robber somehow did not slash him again when he came down from the car, trying to help out the other robber. Pastor Ong (his name) said in front of the hall on Sunday morning:

"I won't be here by now if i were to be slashed again."

And God's powers once again worked on His loyal servants, which the pastor can recover quickly after a successful operation to cure his deep wounds.He was still on hospital on Saturday night, but he insisted in coming to church just to conduct the sermons on Sunday, with the arms still in bandages.

The whole church stood up and gave, I believe, one of the finest servants of God, a round of applause in appreciation of his determination to convey God's message to us.

How many of us would skip church just because of some mini-flus or just some plain excuses? How many of us would come to speak in front of the church with bandages still around your injured arm?

I couldn't be more inspired than THIS. And for those two idiotic robbers, you made the stupidest choice to harm the servant of God, you both are seriously in deep shit.

Who Says I'm Bored?

Yes. Who says so?

Haha these few days have been so busy for me that I don't even have time to sit and blog in front of the PC.

Things I have been busy at:

1) House chores (plenty of mess to clean up okay)
2) Equip myself with more cooking skills! (yes mom =D)
3) Church year-end performance by all the cell groups (tonight yay! All just for You dear Father =) )
4) Car servicing (including hands-on practice on changing wheels lol)
5) Haircut (no worries nothing significantly different. Just bit shorter haha)

See? If you really go search around, you may find yourself being pretty occupied. Don't just sit around in your room stuck with your PC, go out and have some fresh air for yourselves! Sports especially will keep you and me fit throughout this holidays. =)

And let me share with you a super cold joke. =S Here goes:

HJ : Let me ask you one question. There is a big aquarium, with 10 fishes inside. 1 fish died one day. Will the water level increase or decrease?

Me : Decrease lar of course. Coz the owner has one fish lesser to rear ma, so lesser water.

HJ : (Happily and waiting to tell answer) Wrong.

Me : Hmmmm. Why?

HJ : The water level increases, coz when the fish died, the other 9 fishes will cry!

Me : SWT.

For your information, the initials HJ represent Hui Jing, and the ME of course, reflect how shock am I listening to this.

SUPER COLD WEI! LOL!

Sporting Disaster

England, one of the so-called "powerhouses" of football.

Now, you are nowhere different with nations like Andorra or Macedonia.

Cacated is the exact word for you.

An Euro 2008 without England. How disastrous is that? It all came just few hours ago when England, so full of superstars crashed to a 2-3 defeat to Croatia as they were kicked out of the European Championships next year. What puzzles me is that England were given so many chances to qualify, but they take NONE of them.

And if I were to tell you how they played for the last year or so, you wouldn't be surprised. =S


Let's start with the main man behind the disaster.




The disgraceful Steve McClaren.

I can't believe you used to be the number 2 of Sir Alex Ferguson. "Sia sui" him only, goodness. I have NEVER seen a top manager, who is SO naive tactically in managing a football team. The errors he made:

1) Negative approaches (sit back and defend after the score is 2-2 =S)
2) Wrong players at the wrong time (Scott Carson)
3) Huge problems with tactics used (3-5-2 in an away game swt)
4) Making cocky comments and then losing the game next (what he does best lol)

How could you make so many changes in the most important match by using so many inexperienced players? Defence is totally lousy and slow, and the keeper, fantastic.




You won't believe after seeing his blunder in the match today.

Putting 5 men across midfield just shows how McClaren wants to just get a draw when he should be going for a victory. Fine, your team got back to 2-2, but after that


WHY BOTHER ASKING YOUR STRIKER TO JOIN THE MIDFIELD AND DEFEND?

Even the commentators are puzzled.

Tribute to Croatia, who were so consistent in the qualifiers, and sadly to say, they showed England how to play proper football.

Now the whole of England will be in grief. Wait til I find the video of the goals today.

You're so disgraceful that only one person uploaded the match video on Youtube. Please have a look yourselves at the keeper's butterfinger.

Clash of Times



Past


VS




Present


The Clash of Times. Come Thursday, not only host Malaysia, but the rest of the world as well will witness the clash of two different era of tennis.

Bahhhhhhh make it so grand for what. Not like I'm allowed to go to Shah Alam to watch anyway. Hope it's shown on the television.

Truly enough, one was, and will forever be the legend of tennis, while the other one is emulating him in terms of dominance. He's not very far away from his predesessor.

Pete Sampras

- Former world number one tennis player for a record 6 years in a row
- a record 14 Grand Slam titles
- 64 ATP tour titles
- An impressive record of 762-222
- Strength lies on his forehand

Roger Federer

- Current world number one tennis player in the world
- 23 ATP tour titles
- 12 Grand Slam titles (2 more to overtake Sampras)
- Strength of his game lies on his forehand as well.


Federer once said he has huge respect towards Sampras, but once he won Sampras to win his first Wimbledon title few years back, he has made a strong impression to the world that he will better the record held by his predessesor.


Though there is a big difference in the ages of these two, an explosive match will be expected, with both having similar strengths on the two most important aspect of the game: powerful serve and forehand.


Only notable weakness for Federer: clay court records. Otherwise, he is even a more complete player than Pete Sampras. =)


Sometimes tennis is exciting too. =D


The top 10 matches played by Federer

No One

I just want you close
Where you can stay forever

You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights

I don't worry 'cuz
Everything's going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all i know is everything's going to be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain

don't worry 'cuz
Everything's going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all i know is everything's going to be alright
No one, no one, no one

Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel

I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try try to divide something so real
So til the end of time I'm telling you there is no one

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you


Alicia Keys - voice of grace =)
I find the lyrics of this wonderful truly meaningful. Although I see it differently from its original meaning of the lyrics, I think I can see my relationship with God through this lyric. With Him around, no one defy His presence. His calling is so powerful that rain or shine would not deter it from reaching the many of us who need it.
My pastor once said: "Which God could ever be there for us sinners? Only Him."
How true. I'm a fine example of it. It is His forgiveness and blessings that made me who I am now. Thank you dear God for bringing me towards Your Kingdom though it was only few years ago, and I believe, I have lot more to learn to be truly Your disciple. =)
No one can get in the way I feel for You. =D
Blogged twice today, as MSN gave me problems today. Maybe somehow this was made for me to blog about this.
To be honest, I'm listening to this song now as I realize, I miss the last 2 semesters a lot. I had a great year, with each year getting better for me. God's grace which gave me parental and friends' care.
Thank you everyone.

When Ball Meets Balls

If you love sports, especially related to a round shape object, known as ball, and plus bit of common knowledge in yourselves, I am 200% sure you can guess what the title means.

And for me, I won't blog this for no reasons. Lol. *#@()*&#(@)#@&

ANYHOW, before I move on,

MERDEKA!

for UniSA students taking BIS today, not the Malaysian "Merdeka", which I don't really care about. =)

Finally, the semester is officially over with the finals finally over for me. You have no idea how much I waited for this darn day to arrive, and now, I can't stop laughing even I'm so tired. =D Well, BIS was not that suicidal after all today, but who cares, I have fun copying the answers from the book today.

Open book don't worry.

I was so happy after BIS that I joked so lamely in front of Suet Yen while she's waiting for her mother to come pick her up. Poor her lol. And then, when I wanted to put my meant-to-be thrown text book and lecture notes into my car as I was waiting to play futsal, my car was decorated with colours.

The CLOWNS reunited and they are on the loose again.=S

I have no idea how many sequels of clown series I'm gonna have, but luckily the holidays started. It certainly gave me a big scare as I thought the MPSJ had a change of implementing green summons, but only to find...

ISH!

So after clearing the mess, I went to have lunch and met Caryn and Juliet along the way. I pity them as they have classes while I'll be busy celebrating at home. XD And then after having a drink with Y-han (how's yesterday hahahaha =P), Boey and Yihua, we went for something I missed a LOT.

FUTSAL! =D

It was somewhere in PJ as I drove there, and boy the size of the futsal court was double the size we usually play in Sports Planet. It was where legendary Y-han was born anyway. XD So the match started, with the match getting into its full force. But the match was well, I don't know what to say, so I just enjoyed the game =) Four goals is still not bad considering I did not play that long, and it was a good drill.

And fine, I'm the victim of the first statement mentioned above at the very beginning of this post. I have no idea towards my luck in meeting the football at the wrong place. Swt.

But overall, it was an enjoyable game. More futsal to come, I hope during the holidays.So then I searched through SS2 for a printing shop to photostat some stuff for my dad before moving home, after a long but fun day.

So now my choice is, should I keep myself busy but in a not-very-healthy manner (working) or keep myself healthy but not-in-very-busy manner (more sports I suppose lol.)

Right now, PLAY!

This Crazy World of Ours

It did not come out spontaneously from my limited brain space. Truly enough, anything bizarre or extraordinary can happen in this crazy world.

"Year Six Pupil Committed Suicide after UPSR"

(Taken from The Star today)

Even at such a young age at 12-years-old, a bubbly young girl's life is gone.

Just like that.

I really feel sad for her, as at such a young age, she's already thinking of how to commit suicide, just because she can't get the results she wanted for the recently-announced UPSR results.

Actually I understand her situation. It's all thanks to the increasingly pressuring, or "Kia-su" society which puts SO much emphasis on our academic results. I truly believe, this innocent victim of the Malaysian society did not kill herself for nothing.

Dear God, I pray that she rests in peace, and at the same time, I really hope the society, parents or whoever, will put more emphasis instead on caring for the welfare of their children, not the results they have by comparing them with others. I know every parent does that, including mine but as a teenager I can take it, but not for primary kids.

BIS is crazy as well. =S

Clown Act 2

This time, there is only one.

And once again, I am the witness. Lol.

Before that, I had my 3rd paper yesterday, which was Statistics, and how stupid it was to see TWO similar question coming out from past year papers. Swt. So I can say it was all right, just got bugged by one question:

True slope anyone? *scratches head*

Okay after the test I was SO relieved. 3 days of torture went past me just like that. ONE MORE PAPER!

Business Is Suicidal. Chill, I'm taking the exams with the initials of the 3 words, BIS. Business Is Stupid is too normal, and since I won't ever name it as Business Is Smart (look at Suet Yen's nickname on MSN) as the subject is ridiculous, so I just gave it a shot. XD Lol.

Back to topic.

So after the exam, the CLOWN and I walked to Salmon Steak to get our cars ready to fly home. I offered to give her a lift to her car since my car was just nearby, which she did not want as she can walk to her car. And, the "infamous" clown action started.

" I race you to the car ok? Let's see who reaches our car faster! " Then she darted off so fast with a redbull-like energy, before I could believe what I heard. Again, the name of the clown remaining unknown here is a safer strategy lol.

Of course I took my own sweet time to walk to the car, as it's just few steps away from me, and hers? So far away =P

Second action.

By the time I passed by her car, she was just reversing her car, so I gave her a big hone. HA HA HA. And guess what, I got tailed by the driver and overtaken by her once again. Only thing is THIS time, when I cut to the right lane,

THE CLOWN'S CAR SHOT OUT IN FRONT OF ME! =S =S

This time I was really cursing! LOL! ISH!

Clowning at its biggest extreme. =P hahahahahaha

So Brian, you want to guess who's this clown again? =P HA HA HA.

So funny lol.

Bored of reading the BIS text book. Took the whole morning to flip 2 pages swt. HELP!

Life's.......not THAT good

After FA1 exam today, I seriously don't know what to expect anymore. I'm so numb at it that I couldn't care much for what I did actually.

Just give me reasonable results and I'll be just as happy.

But I'm happy that half my stress is gone, and it's nearing the end =) So i drove home today, which I was tailed by some fella's car which flashed its lights numerously. I sort of wanted to curse already, but oh, it was two familiar faces CLOWNING in the car. Names remaining unknown here is a safer strategy lol. =P

So I was in front of them, before I was being overtaken by them. Fine I know I'm slow that time hmph.

Then when I overtook them, (yay now I'm fast =P), both the CLOWNS did some actions which I'm glad that I did not reli see much of it. hahahahaha =P

Fun people =)

So I reached home, and I had one of the longest nap since for the last few weeks. But I know I have 2 more papers to go, so I must go for it.

Horrible Equation

Economics = Vomit to the power of 3 (vomit blood, vomit whole chapter of a topic, and vomit craps)

That's the summary of Economics.

Okay, today wasn't that bad though it's still suckish to me. I just want to go past tomorrow SMOOTHLY.

FA1!

Dead X 100 =(

Daring To Achieve

The absoluteness that I have to do for my finals sake:





See the PC is not on okay =)

Truly enough, this week is very important for me, and if I do not take this absolute step, I would be seriously distracted.

Facebook, Friendster, MSN, blogging (not too bad =P)

SAY NO!

I also notice the difference if I off the pc and study, and trust me, the outcome is WAY better!

But to be fair, I'm not the smart type, so I need more time to digest whatever I study. *Sobs*

1 more day to go, Economics, here we come. =S

Wishes

This is the time of the year when students will face the test of their knowledge on what they learn over the year.

Sounds grand, but I forgot to mention how stressful it can be. Lol.

Hereby I wish good luck to all SPM as well as UniSA final examination takers. Prayers will be there no matter who you are, try your best and God will acknowledge that. =)

Study hard and good luck to all of you once again!

Adrenaline Rush

Everything's in a rush, and you get the extra adrenaline rush before examinations. So do i =S
After 2 hours of FA1 revision, I really decided to give up. All I can do now is to pray to God and ask Him to give me strength to carry on studying this subject. Really feel like napping now, but I know I have to study bit more first tonight.

Taking a breather now. =(


Sir Alex Ferguson
The whole wide world knows him. Regarded as one of the best managers of modern football, he certainly is with the trophies he won for Man United. Look at that picture, his first match in charge was 1986, and until now, its already 21 years.
I repeat, 21 LONG YEARS.
Which manager manages to stay in a club as long as that? None. That shows how valuable he is to Man United, and so much so he has won everything before in club football. As Man United celebrated his 21st year in Old Trafford by thumping Dynamo Kiev 4-0, he said that he never felt like retiring at all. Ever full of the burning desire to achieve more for Man United. He fully deserves the respect given by other managers as well as the players.
Time to take off my brain again. I wish for more time, but at the same time, I so want it to end right now. =(

Record

Claryn must be super happy now, provided that she knows what happened in the Champions League this morning.

Liverpool banged in 8 goals against Besiktas. WOW!

A champions league record man. Not bad!

Even Yousi Benayoun got a hat-trick. Extraordinary.

Study study this whole of 2-3 weeks. =(

Winning Is NOT Everything

Presenting the two BEST groups of TBS, and same class

Ladies and gentlemen, please give a round of applause to




CAPITAL YOUTHS



&



CUTTING EDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Screw the winner Trash and Cash la. Who cares if they win or not =)

Indeed. Yesterday was one of the most memorable nights I EVER had in my life. The business plan finals came to a closing yesterday, and our group were nearly that close to getting the winner's cheque, but in the end, we somehow managed second, which to me is already more than what I could achieve. Then Li San's group also managed to get 3rd place. Congratulations to both of the groups =)

But I would consider both the groups are the true winners of the night. Why?

Coz we have absolutely, wonderfully, fantastically supportive friends who came all the way just to support both of the groups presenting, and to me, to be able to have these friends, are even way better than collecting money and instant fame.

I couldn't describe how much gratitude I had towards all of them when they came and gave us such thunderous support throughout the competition. Mind you, not only during the finals, but also during times of difficulties in our preparation beforehand. Not only them, I have a lot of others to thank for their continuous and effortless support all the way. And also, I would like to say, yesterday was a good example of true entrepreneural spirit as we congratulate and console each other, plus with the meaningful hugs and words. I'm truly blessed.

Here are the pictures of the business plan final yesterday. Guys, I have uploaded ALL of them, so just steal from here okay? =D



Capital Youths with mentor Ms.Alice.

First and foremost, the person I MUST thank is Ms.Alice, who is our mentor for this business plan. Really thanks for all the precious time that you are willing to spend time for us when we need your advice and consultation. Those sound like what a normal mentor would do, but what if I say she ran up and down just to find us venues to practice, and sms reminding us not to eat anything fried or cold drinks before the presentation? Heart of a Christian =) Thanks also for your tolerance for our "hillarious" attitude hahahahahaha. Though I know she's bit sad that we can't win the 1st prize, but I just want you to know, you are already the champion mentor of Capital Youths.




Capital Youths receiving the runner's up cheque from Ms.Joyce.

Of course, my team members who squeezed out all the brain juice just to get things done through out the presentation. Boey and Pretib with their humour just destresses all of us when we sometimes just felt so sick of our stuffs. Truly enough, all of us contributed in different manners as we aimed for the best in our business plan. All the fun that we had, and Boey so kindly offering us his house to practice which Pretib and I kinda took advantage of sometimes =P hahahahahahah kidding bros! Also Pretib with his payments for our printed stuffs, plus with all the petrol, I think can amount to RM100 lol. But it's kinda worth it in the end. =)


Capital Youths with external crew members.

They are best two deejays in TBS, KAH LEONG AND Y HAN! lol! hahahahaahhah. I must also thank you guys for offering us help in our slides as well as the lightings. Not to mention giving us useful ideas to make the presentation as grand as possible. Next time you both are our permanent crew members okay? =D




The two proud daughters with the proud father. =D

Vivian and Sara! To me, they are the most "in" girls I ever knew. Supportive and cool. Thanks for coming all the way support us in this finals, especially both of them staying so far away from Subang. Sara 200 km away in Ipoh, and Vivian also in KL. Oh did I mention, Vivian you have potential in modelling =D Promise you both a dinner okay? After leaving hehe


Yoong Siang and Lik Yung.

The two non-participative VIPs of the day lol. Yoong Siang still shows why he chose to be with us as we guarantee him the most fun. Come back to UniSA dude lol. And Lik Yung also, even you car is being serviced, you still somehow found ways to come. So it's not a problem at all that I fetched you home yesterday. Man you have a nice condominium. Next time I stay in your house k? =)


The true winners of the competition.

We are not the winners of the competition, but together, we both achieved what defines competition : the spirit of fairness and encouragements. The friendship between both groups is not affected at all by this competition, as all of us are so intimately (sounds so wrong lol) close to each other that we respect the outcome of the results whatever they may be in the end. Who says Li San is kia su? =D Thanks Li San for your encouragements as well, and not only this business plan, but also many other things that you have helped me out. You know we all love you right? ;)




Claryn the BIG Liverpool fan. XD

Hahaha. Though this Liverpool fan friend of mine always made my blood pressure go high lots of times (even Ms.Alice knows swt), but still, thanks for your support all these while okay. Thanks for your encouragements when I'm kinda down, and that God is always up there taking care of me. =) That defines a very good friend. Thanks so much! Oh yea, did I tell you, you looked real good in the dress yesterday. =)

All in all, you will also get your loaned eye-massager from me okay? lol.

The prize giver and I. =D
Happy to see this? lol. Hahahahahh. Wow, no jokes okay, she got spotted to be the presenter of the prize! See, Suet Yen's from our class also, and that shows the credentials from students in our class no matter what we do. =D And also thanks for your support yea! =)

Here are the other pictures:












































When it's serious stuff, we mean business. When it's time for fun and fooling around, we mean business also. =)

You guys really rock my socks. I wish ALL of you all the best in the finals, and after that, we shall have a huge break. Good luck!

Final Shot

Indeed.

In another 18 more hours, Capital Youths will march into a new tomorrow. Something that I never tried before I think.


Regarded as future entrepreneurs, we shall have the destiny of tomorrow at our own hands. We hope we will also be smiling like this tomorrow after the finals. =D
GOOD LUCK!

Frustrating

Yes.

IT IS SO DARN FRUSTRATING.

MU had a chance to go top, but they conceded one late goal like last season.

Only this time, THEY COULD HAVE ACTUALLY WON! AND THE RIVAL IS ARSENAL!!!!!!!

Gosh. Though the match was very entertaining, end-to-end stuff, but somehow it should not have ended up this way. =(

Full credit to both teams. MU did not play well but still grinded out 2 goals, while Arsenal, well, scored that last minute goal. Me and my dad was sooooooooooooooo busy cursing, though I did not curse that much la lol.

And rather NOT surprisingly, Claryn the LIverpool fan was SO happy once the goal was scored at the end. I actually was darn happy when MU scored the second goal, and I already typed "MU victory" in my sms and then right before i wanted to send back, the stupid equaliser came. GOSH! =S

SIGH.

But nevertheless, I already predicted this score anyway, and it's still fair for both sides right now.

Don't feel like studying, but I don't have a choice. And I'm ill-prepared for monday. Can't wait.

@(**#@(*@

I am so dead for FINALS.

Fullstop. =S

Unbelievable

That I am currently using the lecturer's pc like how I use at home.

i) Listening and downloading songs
ii) IM messenger
iii) relaxing with no one around me.

XD

And to think I blog using the lecturer's account lol.

Actually I was kinda of bored waiting for Boey and Pretib as I want to test out some song, so I just browsed around the net. So stupid of Taylor's to give a "lecturer" for the ID and password to log into the classroom pc. XD oops.

I hope my miss calls this morning can wake the sleeping-pro friend of mine up. If you are reading this, yes it's you. =P lol!

Adios from TBS at 9.50am.

Nearing to the end

that I EVER desired for so much.

This week will be the last week of the study period before the study break starts. Then...

FINALS! =S =S

Not only that, lots of things are going to happen in the next few days, starting with the Business Plan Finals on next monday. IT'S FINALLY HERE. After months of tireless researches and discussions, up-and-downs, anxious and hillarious moments, we are so near from it now. So today we started rehearsing our presentation at the venue, and oh boy I can just imagine the intensity of the finals in the lecture hall.

But like Alice said, we will enjoy and savour every moment of it. =)

And for Alice, we will strive for it!

Then after the practice we had lunch with Yoong Siang, who offered to help us in the video stuffs (sorry to make you come for nothing in the end lol). The Taylor's betrayer we call him as he left for Monash University this year, but I still think if he were to be given a choice, he still prefers to join our gang. =D So all the guys went to Al-Rafi and he, as usual likes to give sarcastic comments, and this time:

"I think we can write a book on this. Perfect Combination as the big title, then followed by a mini subtitle "to a rubbish business", combining stupidity, and lousy service. Example Al-Rafi."

All because the food took a long time to serve us as there were too many people, and with the waiters repeating orders. Lol.

Then after lunch we went to edit some video in Y-han's house, and it was soooooooo comfortable sleeping in his room! And not only that, the guys ended up playing CS, and also some other stuff. =P We also have our "productive" moments okay hahahahaha. I think I'm getting naughtier, but everything's still under control. I still know that I HAVE TO STUDY. lol.

A titanic clash in the EPL coming up on Saturday. You guessed it.




VS


ARSENAL VS MANCHESTER UNITED BABY!
Gosh this will be one exciting match, with both sides going great guns recently. Best football played, as well as full of outstanding players from both sides. A victory for Arsenal will keep them at the summit of the EPL, while MU will go top if they win Arsenal. I can't wait to watch this explosive match on Saturday night. Studies later larrrrrrr =P
GO MU!
