But it can be VERY easy also.
Certainly for my case tomorrow. Lol.
FINAL DAY BABY! =D
Today was a day of laughing when I heard the jokes of the HSCB speaker about Malaysia. Though he was insulting but what he said were so true. Malaysia is just full of nonsense. I'm a Malaysian myself but I'm sorry to admit that.
Will share more of that later. Gotta sleep so that time will pass by faster for once. =P

My HSBC Dream
It's not any normal dream.
Not at all.
In fact, it is quite beyond my wildest dreams ever to even reach the later stages of the HSBC Young Entrepreneurs Competition.
But here we are again, advancing to the second round thus far, and I can promise you, I'll REALLY go for it this time.
Not only me, but the rest of the members of Capital Youths as well.
Right Pretib and Boey? =)
CPO, CMO and CFO of Capital Youths
We need all the support that we could get, be it physically or mentally, doesn't matter. Capital Youths shall fight, and hopefully, smile once again. =D

My Latest Addiction
The Australian Open is so famous for producing unheralded players making impact in the sport of tennis, and one beauty of such sport is that even though you may not like tennis at all, you will somehow get glued to the television of the fantastic shots made during the matches. Federer was one of the reason I watch tennis sometimes.
If you think that I'm only into her looks, you're so wrong. Yes, looks is one thing, but her humble beginnings are what made me admire her since I get to know of her abouts. Born in a poor country in Serbia and Montenegro, she could only at most practice hitting tennis balls in an empty swimming pool against the pool wall. Since then, she has come a long way to what she is now, and together with tremendous determination and comeback power in her to defeat Venus Williams and Hantuchova in the previous rounds, she easily became the crowd's favourite. Not surprising. =)
Eyes on the ball for Ana.
Gorgeous outfit ad with a gorgeous athelete.
And SOMEHOW, tennis NEVER failed to produce hot and young talents not only in the men, but in the women circuit as well. One of them became my latest addiction. Please don't get me wrong. I'm no sicko or whatever, but I just totally admire this promising young female player aiming to take the world by storm. =)
My latest addiction :
The young talent of 2008.
If you still don't know who she is, she is Ana Inavonic. I guess most of you have heard of her anyway, based on the fact that she has reached the Australian Open final today.
Gorgeous isn't she? She may be no Sharapova or some other supermodels nor actresses, her looks are certainly enough to make others envious. =P

Sweet victory for Ana. She looks perfectly great in blue.

She can be cute too.
She just dazzles everywhere.
I'm so rooting for you to win the Australian Open final. Go Ana! =D
P.S My work gonna end in 5 days. I repeat, FIVE DAYS! FREEDOM nearing soon. =)

Save Me
Someone save me.
I feel terrible and useless. Things should be done better, but I failed.
Things are unfair sometimes, but I just have to accept my luck.
I screamed as I drove today. I yelled with the pillow around my head, before punching it.
Frustrated.
I thought I could handle stress. I can't.
I'm also not sure why the heck I bother turning myself into some demon by working. Exaggerating, but I could have stayed home and avoided the dreaded stress.
The feeling is much MUCH worse than flunking my exams.
2 more weeks of living hell. 2 weeks are like 2 years for me. =S
I always come before You when I have such problems. Lord, help me.

Bang
The EPL title reaches its crucial stage of the season, and with more than half of the schedule completed for the 20 teams in the league, it sets up perfectly for yet another hotly-contested campaign. And as it stands so far, while Liverpool were busy scrapping for a draw against lowly Middlesbrough, Man United, Chelsea and Arsenal were busy hooking up with each other for points as much as possible.
With the news that points were dropped in the red-half of London, Man United knew too well that they have to regain the advantage thay they lost few weeks ago. And with Chelsea closing up the gap, Man United knew they have to finish the job.
So the match kicked off at 5.10 am under chilling temperature in the heart of the Old Trafford stadium, and right from the start, the pressure is on manager-less Newcastle. But the first-half was purely frustrating, particularly to Wayne Rooney who had 5 shots saved by Shay Given, the Newcastle keeper. But to be fair, he was bit selfish of trying to shoot alone when he could pass to other players who were in better position. And worse, the referee Rob Styles (HATE HIM) turned down 2 OBVIOUS penalty calls from Man United. So nearly double-digits of clear-shots by MU, 0-0 the score at half-time.
But after half-time, Newcastle wished they could finish the match at the 70th minute. And one half which I could never forget.
It was not at all surprising when MU hit back straight away at Newcastle after the interval, with few corners again in the first few minutes after some clear-off-the-line defending from Newcastle. But soon the pressure finally paid off for United. Star-man of the moment Christiano Ronaldo was clipped outside the penalty area, and Old Trafford expected a goal from him from that sort of distance to the goal mouth.
And duly he delivered, with perfect precision and disguise as instead of shooting the ball with dreaded curl as he usually does, he placed the ball under the wall, fooling everyone especially the goalkeeper and 1-0 to United.
Perfect precision and brilliance from Ronaldo. Not only Ronaldinho can do such things.
From then on, it all goes rampant for United. And somehow, Newcastle lost concentration when the keeper cleared the ball straight to his own team-mate and went straight to Ryan Giggs, who after that put a simple pass to Carlos Tevez to score a simple goal. The attacking play from United was particularly a perfect example of fast-flowing attacking football, with Tevez, Rooney and Ronaldo interchanging runs and passes with each other backed by the passing and defending abilities of Anderson and Carrick in midfield. Of course, the back-four was solid once more. The third goal came along when passes were exhanged in front of the box, as Ronaldo finished clinically after receiving an inch-perfect pass from Tevez. Top-spot guaranteed for United.
United were not finished. With 15 minutes remaining, Rooney, who on this day was unlucky not to score, feeded Ferdinand with a perfect lob over the defence, before the defender himself putting the ball into the back of the net with a neat first-time volley. He started his career as a striker by the way. =D
The fifth goal was the perfect answer to Ronaldo in his quest for a hattrick, which he did well to evade a challenge before finishing off with his left-foot in the 85th minute. A classy player's finish. As if it wasn't enough, United ended the game with a 6th as Tevez volleyed in a header from Ryan Giggs onto the bar and over the line. Arsenal go down to second in the table.
Guess I didn't blog for a long time, and when I blog, I blog something with a bang. =P Enjoy MU fans! =D

S.I / U.C.K. @ 2008
Yes. It was sUckish to be sIckish.
No other words than "worst" when I started 2008 with heavy sickness. And heavy I do mean fever, stomach ache and really bad sore throat. Never got sick for that long before, and to happen on the start of the new year really comes up worst of the worse. But as now with God's healing powers I recovered with still the sore throat bothering me only, I do hope that I can kickstart the new year with, not to say a bang, but at least better than last year.
With so much hype and anticipation to the new year, surprisingly enough the celebrations were considered not as massive as it had been for the previous years. I could still remember last year, the celebration pictures were all over the papers, but this time, only that miserable few pages. And for me, though it may seem it's just another year, this time times have REALLY changed. Know why?
Expectations will be much DIFFERENT and HIGHER this time around, as the front of my age took a 360 degree turn from 1 - 2.
TWENTY. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
But it's a fact. Let's face it folks. Days and nights pass by so easily that once you reach a new day of your life, you regret missing the old. Maybe you don't, but I do. =( Of course, we can't escape from moving on, as the earth never turns backwards, so I don't really mind moving forward with God above me. =)
And as I ponder towards the good side of getting old, 2008 might be a GREAT year ahead. Major events to look out for:
Beijing Olympics
EURO 2008 (The sparks will still be there even there is no England)
Two fantastic sporting event which promise to bring you FULL blast. =D And not to forget, the EPL moves closer to the curtain-closing period when the title-chase heats up with MU hot on Arsenal's heels, with Chelsea a reasonable distance from the top two. Wait,
Where's LIVERPOOL? XD
Lol. Maybe miracles can happen, but logically, they are effectively out of the title race. But if they can beat Chelsea and Arsenal for MU's favour, I might still say Liverpool is a great team. =P
Okay, I hope that I can have a great year once again. Happy new year to every single one for you. =D

Things I Do At 19
Nothing comes worse than welcoming the New Year with sickness. Instead of revelling in New Year's Eve, I spent most of the day struggling at work, eating medicine and sleeping. Thankfully enough, I still can do a mini-countdown with my loved ones as I recovered sufficiently enough. =)
So as the fireworks were being displayed at exactly 12 am today, it signified that a year has just passed by once again despite how fanciful the fireworks were.
So as the fireworks were being displayed at exactly 12 am today, it signified that a year has just passed by once again despite how fanciful the fireworks were.
And this time, my age has a "2" in front of my age PERMANENTLY for the next 10 years. Okay I regret putting this sentence haha.
By far, this, or LAST year had been the greatest year for me in my life. Below are the notables:
1) Start of My Degree
Well, it isn't any different as I'm still stuck in TBS anyway. Still have to go for classes in cold-like-north-pole classes and hard-to-sleep lecture halls. But this time, I can say that more wacky people joined the already-wacky-enough gang of US (yes US) (actually more aunties =P) and together, we strived together in assignments and exams. Results this year are better than last year for me, but again, I don't want to compete with the crazies. =)
Birthday celebrations are beginning to get usual, but we never got bored.
2) Redang Trip
Went to Redang with these bunch, and it was one heck of fun. =D I could still remember I learnt the game "bluff", but the learning process was bit forgettable. XD lol.
Group picture in Redang.
3) My Birthday
I got to tell you, it is SO memorable. My college friends gave me such a big surprise that I was too shocked! After classes when I went futsal, ALL of them collaborated in conning me by making their appearance in the futsal, unexpected TOTALLY. I don't feel like telling what happened to me after that (swt), but I'm really thankful.
And of course, my birthday was full of wishes from friends, church people, family. Thank you everyone =D
4) Baptism
THIS, had been the MOST important turning point of my life. Not only it signifies the start of my journey with the Almighty God himself, it also laid a foundation for me to do and commit myself more to Him from this day onwards. Though my belief in Him started late, as compared to most who believed in Him since their early days, I'm sure God will pave a way for me to learn more from Him. =) Thanks to all who have encouraged me, especially my pastor who has been a great man to me.
Being baptised by Pastor Ong in my church.
5) AdventuRun
My FIRST run! Haha and who else but the famous Boey Winson (lol) was the organizer of this event in Shah Alam. Everything was perfect, with an unique running experience in the jungle, pant-and-breaths, great service, and hot girls performing. XD I must repeat, that I finished in the top 15 in my group. If only I could run faster *#@()*#@)( But overall, it was a fantastic event.

6) Business Plan
This event really tells me why am I enjoying college life so much. I don't really remember why did I really join this event, bearing in the mind about the commitments that I had to put in, but since then, I never regret =D I totally did not expect ourselves to get through to the semi-finals, let alone the Runners-Up prize we eventually got in the end. Through trials and tribulations, Pretib, Boey and I went through stress, last-minute work =P, interviews with the big-shots, gruelling preparations for the presentations, hardly-kind judges, and also watching American Pie in Boey's ever comfortable house.
Oops. =P hahahahahahaha
And from this event, I could not ever forget how supportive my friends can be during this event. Those who came all the way just to support us and the Cutting Edge members though exams were drawing near, and the good luck wishes I got from others really spurred us on. And also Ms. Alice =)
Capital Youths receiving the cheque prize.
7) Work
My first office-work since I felt that I should fill my time wisely. In the end, it wasn't one thing that I really wanted to do. My year ended on a sour note mostly because of work, and I showed symptoms of stress by the loss of appetite, ands yes, sickness. Rarely happened to me, but it did. =S
Fine, I'm posing, but I was really tired.
But all in all, I learnt a lot from my work, like how to prepare auditing, prepare cash books, stocktake (this is an on-field work. surprising huh) and plenty of gossips. Okay this is nothing good lol.
God has made it a really wonderful year for me, and of course, I did have my up-and-downs but I can guarantee you, I am much stronger than what I was before. Happy 2008 everyone, and as I finish this blog, I hope that everyone of you can achieve the resolutions that you set for yourselves, and march towards the new year with renewed strength and ambitions.
