Welcoming 2007

A warm welcome to the year 2007. Much had happened during the past few days when I stopped blogging for almost a week. I’ll just throw everything I remember into this post.

On the 23rd of December, my family held a Christmas dinner for my relatives. Jeffrey called me not too long ago, inviting me out for dinner but my dad told me that he had prepared a large portion of food; I apologized to Jeff as I could not join him. My aunt from Miri bought food from KFC and that alone already cost RM70++. The reason she bought that much was because one of my aunts kept pestering her saying that there would be at least 15 people coming, which includes my grandparents. And in the end, less than 10 arrived.

One of my aunt complained that we had not waited for her when she herself told us to go ahead while another of my aunt was sleeping (sleeping at such hour? Wtf). Never mind that, an adult(the aunt I mentioned who pestered my aunt from Miri) can also be so fucking careless and spill one whole glass of syrup. Just imagine the mess and I had to clean up the mess while she just stand there doing nothing. Seriously, that screwed my mood for a Christmas dinner.

I declared to my parents that I regretted staying for the dinner and rather went out with my friends because nobody enjoyed the dinner, it became just an ordinary dinner stink with irritation and annoyance without any special meaning behind it.

On the 24th of December, I was told that Jeffrey was organizing a Christmas party for the choir club on the 25th. Kelvin, Chen and I helped Jeff to prepare all the necessary items needed for the party; we even bought a large toy hammer for the fun of it. Jeff would be the game master while Chen would be the OmniKnight (taken from DotA – the hero with the hammer the size of his height). Not only do we have to thank Jeff for making this gathering successful, we have to thank his dad too for taking the trouble to transport the plastic chairs, providing 2 boxes (is it call boxes?) of drinks – Coke and 7up and many more.

On the 25th, we went to nearby departmental stores to get all the items needed which includes butter and honey, 4kg of chicken wings and leek for BBQ; balloons for decoration and games. Those who came for the party was Kheng Seng aka Ah Seng, Irene, Martin, Keith, Guang Yang, Eric, Yee Kai, Kwong Siong, Aldrin, Judieth, Pauline, Siew Yong, Esther, Jacq, Chen, Jeff, and Kelvin. Laura, Shirley and Pei San could not make it. (Did I write anyone’s name wrongly? If I did, please correct me.)

Approximately 1900, Jeff asked me to accompany him to take the food he had ordered from a restaurant not too long ago, all he said to the person in charge was: Please prepare those food enough for 20 people. ; Guang Yang and Keith came along too to help out. We assumed that the total cost of the food (Noodles, Vege, and 2 kinds of meat) should not exceed RM100, but to our horror, the receipt showed a staggering amount of RM252! That scared the hell out of Jeff because he had not brought that much money with him, luckily Guang Yang had a hundred with him while Jeff paid the rest. He told us not to let others know about the cost of the food until the next choir meeting which we obeyed quietly.

I’m glad everyone enjoyed the food and the games. Chen damaged the hammer when he smacked someone too hard on the backside during the time for games and caused the toy hammer to lose one of its head. Everyone laughed hysterically for around 10 minutes before everyone settled down again.

I hope I don’t miss out anything… Year 2007 is coming in real soon. a 6GB download took me 4 days and 3 hours to complete. I’m glad that my entire torrent downloads (which includes 2 episodes of Crescent Love) are completed. There was a sudden increase in download speed and I wouldn’t want to miss that chance, which means I have to give up my chance to get into bs3 and have a few games with my clan mates.

Crescent Love's ending is a cruel but happy one. I'm glad that it was, if not I would have wasted months for nothing. I've noticed that Tatsuya pinch Feena's nose almost every episode, a new method of courting a girl? Who wants to try that out? :D

Recently an earthquake happened in Taiwan and caused a small number of casualties and quite a number were injured. Somehow nobody took notice of the victims of the earthquake and complained over and over saying that the earthquake had ruined their internet connection and download speed. All my friends complained were the internet speed and none even showed any concern to the victims of the catastrophe. I wonder why? Is the internet more important than human life?

Goodbye 2006.

Welcoming 2007; I had been inactive for the past week, will update my blog asap.

Pass!

I went for my law test - the theory part, this morning with Kelvin. The instructor told us to be ready by 0900, so I reached Kelvin’s house at 0855 and guess what? The instructor came at 0930. Typical Malaysian time isn’t it?

I was nervous all the way before I took the test because I was thinking that, if I failed it, I’ll have to re-sit for it over and over again till I passed it. When my mum said that her sister’s brother-in-law’s daughter took the test for over 8 times but still not able to pass. Her dad resort to bribing the examiners to pass her daughter. I wouldn’t want that to happen to me as well… so when my name was called, I crossed my fingers and entered the exam room. I took 22 minutes to finish the test and was worried because there were quite a number of questions which I do not understand but just randomly mark my answer.

I passed the test, a lucky one I’d say. I get 42/50. Mum said that I should be give thanks to God for passing me as I had not even studied for the test. I told her I did study for the test. But to think of it, that was 3 months ago and I had forgotten everything by then. Miracles happen around us, just that we hardly notice it ourselves… Anyway, I'll be facing boredom for a duration of six hours tomorrow, on the process just to get a driving license of my own... But I won't have any car to drive. What's the point of it?

I finished watching the anime Chobits today(started watching 1 week ago) though it is an old anime. The story begins on the life of Hideki Motosuwa, a repeat student attempting to get into university by studying at the Seki prep school in Tokyo. An honest and unassuming teenager raised in a farm, he has little experience with women, though his imagination and libido are both quite active. He often talked to himself and was regarded as someone insane by the citizens of the city.

Besides wanting a girlfriend, the other thing he dreams of having is a persocom. A Persocom is an android in the shape of a human but is a personal computer. Hideki discovers that persocoms are common in the city. They are programmed with fairly subdued personalities and assist their owners with are easily identifiable by the large ears (data ports) on the sides of their heads, and is also able to collect emails, make phone calls, surfing the internet and many more.

But persocoms costs a bomb and Hideki does not have the money to purchase one, so he figures the only way he'll ever have one is if he were to find one lying on the curb. No sooner has he thought of this, it happens: on his way home from the grocery store one evening, he stumbles across a persocom in the form of a naked beautiful young girl with blonde long hair, wrapped in cloth (more to bandage cloth), lying on a pile of trash bags. He thought that it was a murder but upon closer inspection, he realized that she had ears like the persocoms he had seen in the shops earlier, he carries her home and had not noticed that a disk dropped as he walks away. He finally turns her on and she comes instantly to life and regards Hideki with adoration, hugging him often and was fascinated by him as she often mimics the things he does, but the only word she ever says is "chi", so Hideki named her Chii.

Hideki requested the help of his newfound friend Shinbo to try to figure out the origin of Chi since he is quite an expert in the current technology. Shinbo owns a smaller persocom of his own by the name Sumomo. All they could found out was that Chii does not have any operating system installed. Shinbo is perplexed as to how she's able to be active at all with a blank memory. Thus, he told Hideki to look for Minoru, another expert with persocoms.

Meanwhile Hideki takes it upon himself to teach everything he knew like words, concepts and behavior to Chii while he attends school; he found a part-time job in a Japanese pub – My Pleasure, and makes a number of new friends. He finds himself putting aside his libido and protecting Chii against people who want her for themselves; he buys her a storybook even though he needs a dictionary badly, in which she seems to take an unusual interest; she showed him unconditional love and cheered for him through his studies. Soon, it's clear that Chi is developing feelings for Hideki to a level that persocoms aren't supposed to be able to have, and Hideki seems to be falling in love with her, despite his friends' warnings against having feelings for an artificial person – it will not bear any fruit as persocoms are persocoms, they can never be humans.

This one looks like Chii, just that she doesn't have the ears of a perscom. I am sure I have seen this picture before… somewhere.

Not too long ago, while I was busy over something, she nudged me at msn and started a conversation. I used a wrong usage of words by telling her I’m busy currently and had made her cried for 4 days without myself knowing until she told me about it and said it was I who caused her to cry when I questioned who made her cry. Then I recalled the way I talked to her over msn 4 days ago and apologized over and over. I mean come on; it’s just an online relationship, why would someone be so sensitive to some words and cry over someone they had not met before? Such is complicated and beyond my understanding. Sigh…

Day One

This post should be quite an old one... But I just received the pictures from Anwar yesterday and would like to share with everyone here... All the pictures were taken in room 5.01

It was an innocent photo posing... with all the choir club members.
















Suddenly the guys became wild and decided to play WWE. (Actually its not, just lifting him up for fun)
















This time I'm the victim. Picture taken with dancesport club members (I was tossed unto the ground after the picture was taken, no bones were broken).
















Swinburne Choir Club won the 3rd place, sadly I wasn't in the picture as I was in 5.01 cleaning up the room with a few of the choir members.
















Did you see a ghost?

Her or your friends?

There was this person who successfully courted a girl even though his friends advised him not to (reason to be kept a secret). Ever since then, his relationship with his friends was not as close as they were before due to the frequent disagreements between themselves. When he talked to his friends, their tone were never the same old caring ones, it became a tone of annoyance and irritation; the conversations he had with his friends were never pleasing ones, whenever his friends had something to comment on him, it would just come out freely without a second thought. So…

My question here is: Would you choose her over your friends who had been with you for many years? Or would you choose your friends over her whom you had tried so hard to won her heart and had successfully have it? Would you prefer happiness or your friendship bonds?

Want to know what had happened afterwards?
















He said he left the girl, but my friends think otherwise – the girl left him.

Put that aside, what would your choice be? Her or your friends?
