goodnite...

.: say something :.

mariah's new singles is out, and it's called "Say Something" feat. Snoop Dogg, more of like R&B genre..



urmm... how i miss those ballad songs back in "Day dream" era. This is not that kind of song which i would go "whoaa...ahhh" at the first time i listened to it. din show much of her vocals. *sigh* anyway, i still hope that this song will be a hitz when it's officially out in february 2005. :)



her upcoming album is named "The Emancipation of Mimi"...



"Mimi is a very personal nickname only used by those closest to me... just one of those little things that I've kept for myself in an attempt to have some delineation between a public persona and a private life," Carey writes. "By naming the album The Emancipation of Mimi, I am letting my guard down and inviting my fans to be that much closer to me.

"Most importantly," she continues, "I am celebrating the fact that I've grown into a person and artist who no longer feels imprisoned by my insecurities or compelled to try and live up to someone else's vision of 'Mariah Carey.' I now feel I can honestly say, 'This is me, the real me, take it or leave it.' For the first time in my life, I feel free and unashamed to be who I really am. And that's what the music of this album and its title reflect."



Emancipation

n : freeing someone from the control of another; especially a parent's relinquishing authority and control over a minor child



ok, i do not understand the meaning of emancipation before this. i was like.. "huh? wat's tat?" :D

just hope that this latest album will be something surprising and good :D

the butterfly story

The butterfly story

by boss' mum



From the egg to the caterpillar I was with you

As you diligently fet upon My words, you grew

Just like the full-grown caterpillar in its cocoon

Abide in Me in the secret hiding place till full bloom

Commune with me in the stillness and humility... in My special way

Walk with me and draw upon My strength each day

As you dwell in My presence My voice is truly heard

Gaining insiglt into My holy Word

Lean upon Me, My child and let Me lead you, one step at a time

and in My time My light at the end of the tunnel you'll surely find..



A rainbow-coloured breakthrough..





A transformed butterfly.... My grace delight!



Alight upon My wings of faith as I set you to flight..

it's Your grace..

i've did the sillyiest thing any student would do when they are goin for thier examination. i forgot to bring my purse with me when i went for my 2nd paper this morning. My student Id and IC are all in my wallet. I have nothing to identify myself. Technically, i should not be able to sit for the exam, unless i can produce a document to prove that i am who i am..



but, amazingly.... by God's grace, the invigilator didn't force me to rush back to take my Student ID, he allowed me to sit for my examination!! yes, even without any document to identify who i am. Thank God!!!



Anyway, he asked me to show him my ID after the paper, so i rushed back to take my ID. ironicly when i return to the exam venue, he was no longer there.



So, next time if u ever forgot to bring your ID to exam, this is what you should do:

go to the exam unit, tell them what happened, then they'll authenticate your identity :)



it has always been Your grace that carry me through, thank You, Lord..



2 down, 1 more paper to go tomorrow and i'll be set FREE!!

He is back!

my cousin has reached Malaysia! Four more days and he'll reach Singapore, completing his 3 months cycling route from China-Singapore. Am i glad to see him? so glad.



and i enjoyed our family gathering yesterday. a few of us gathered together to welcome my cousin as he his cycling route touched the land of KL yesterday.



i have been reading blogs lately. Many have inspired me.. i simply love the way they play with words, expressing thier feeling and thoughts.



2 more papers to go, one tomorrow, another the day after...

gotta get back to my notes now..

finally... some updates :D

this is my study week, but i have no mood for studying at ALL! *sigh* had not started my revision yet. and the worse thing is, i'm ade in my holiday mood. :D that's what i was doin after my fyp presentation last friday. The day where i was finally free, free from all assignments and projects.



Then i went back to JB on Saturday, went back to KLuang on Sunday for family gathering, had so much fun there. In Kluang, i had did something i never do before to my hair :D Not goin to reveal much here, yet.



Yesterday, I came back to cyber with my friend's car. We started our journey at 6 am. The scenery along the highway was so beautiful that it kept us awake throughout the whole journey.



The past two months had been two hectic months for me. Emotionally and physically, i was challenged. But God had been graceful enough to pull me through.

a busy week..

it has been only one week after the first trimester started. But somehow it seems like a few weeks to me. Maybe because i'd been very very busy. Almost everynight, i was out for something.



On monday afternoon, i've got to know Dr. Chia, which reminded me of my grandpa. He's a really nice person. Was talking to him for a while, and he told us to enjoy our uni life, don't just study study study. And that, whatever had happened in the past, can't be undone(is there such word?) . We just need to look forward and live our life to the fullest.

At night, we had exhousemates gathering ~ went to puchong for dinner, then to IOI mall. It was great to meet them again after soo long. I really missed them a lot.



Tuesday, attended CF, was supposed to share my industrial training experience. But somehow i got too nervous and tension, screwed up my sharing, and only managed to show them some pictures that i took during my internship. But, truly, i did really learnt a lot. It had expose me to the working environment and also a few new languages and technologies. But the most important thing that i've gained, was my friendship with the MMU trainees as well as my colleuges in BTexact. ;)



Wednesday, went for CG makan. I had to skip my pasar malam trip with my best friends for the CG makan. I really wished to go with them, to spend more time with them, but then again, my CG is my responsibility. I sure hope that, every other GC members will as well, make it thier priority to attend for CG meeting. ;)



Thursday, my friend, Vincent was leaving toUK for one year. I didn't get to send him off at KLIA as i had my CyberChristmas meeting that night. But it's ok, cos the meeting was really great and fruitful, wouldn't want to miss it either.



Friday, was debating if i should go for my church's power group meeting in usj. Somehow, i ended up in the meeting with mich. We had home cook food in Jessy's house (one of my powergroup member) and the sharing was great, about "quiet time". Yes, a reminder.



Saturday, supposedly to have a fyp meeting with my supervisor. However, we can't make it as one of we have to help my groupmember have to shift house. So, we had to postponed our meeting again. And i had a whole pile of works to do for my fyp before meeting him next week.



Talking about living life to the fullest... I think i did for this week. As for next week, i guess it would be as busy if not even busier than this week.



Thank you, Father for pulling me through this, help me to commit the rest of the semester into Your hands. :D

a summary of my hols

finally, my spring cleaning is over. it started at around 4+ yesterday , ended at 12!! Thank God for Pei Ling, my roomie, we got the whole house clean again *grin*



i just came back from JB on Tuesday, by AirAsia. But my flight was 30mins delayed.Darn! When i went back to JB, last Tuesday, my flight was one and half hour delayed. But then again , i've got the cheap flights.. so nothing to be complained about.



Going back to JB was great. We've moved to Permas Jaya, a new apartment (quite near to deric's house) It feels so good to be home.... our own home.. For the past 3 years, we had been renting. But now, finally, we have our own home. I can feel how relieve my mum is.



One of the nite, i went out with my younger bro, soly and deric to watch Puteri Gunung Ledang. For full detail , click here, the post's name is "aiyoh" (aahahha). Then the next day, i went out shopping with ChaiLee and Siao Fong.



On Saturday, Soly, Deric and me went for a one day(i was suppose to overnite there) trip to Singapore. The main purpose was to visit City Harvest church. Mine was to see my friend. Unfortunately, she sprained her leg, so i didn't get to stay with her in Singapore.



After getting Soly's sister's stuff (CD player and bag) we headed to the City Harvest Church. There's one word to describe the church : POWERFUL! very indeed! I was flabbergasted when i saw the building, and listening to one of the member explaination about thier church, i can't help but to praise God and thank God for His wonderful work.



The building was built with $48Million Singapore dollar. Paid in CASH. The money had been raised by the members over the period of 7 years before it was built. The church is now 3 years old. It has , i guess 6 storey underground, the sanctuary is located at P4, and it's about 2 storey big, can fit up to 2000 people. For more information about the church, click here.



The building was great, how about the service? It was SUPERB! It has 6 services perweek. One services looks like a christian rally, a congregation of almost 2000 people. Amazing. Another interesting fact, the service is live telecast over the internet. And Ps. Kong Hee is indeed an energetic speaker. I enjoyed his sermon very much. After the service, we took the shutter bus to Woodland MRT station. Every weekend, City Harvest chartered 286 buses to feery thier members, making a total of 1,842 stops.~ amazing church with an amazing God!



" ¹³I can do all things through Christ^[2] who strengthens me." -phillippians 4:13-

is the world really coming to the end?

while i was busy partying with the MI show, my friend Gimhan, had dived into the current issue of peak-oil, which had makes me ponder on the thoughts of the end of the world.



After reading his blog, i still find it hard to digest those details... anyway, you could visit his blog for more information.

Are You Ready??

Goodbye BT, we'll miss you...

Time really flies. So fast, it has been FOUR months. And now it's already the end of my internship in BTexact.



Four months ago, i came to BT with a learning heart, with an expectation to learn. No doubts i had gained extra in knowlegde, but the most precious thing i'll cherish the most is the friendship that had formed during this course.



Previously, we were placed in the Hibiscus block (it's called the BT lab) together with the researchers, it was kinda tension working there, ahahah.. After 3 months, they shifted us to the management block, which is Jasmine to give way to the new employees.



Having to move from the Hibiscus building to the Jasmine block, was indeed a blessing in disguise. As the trainees, including myself had grew to learn about each other more, and thus gave birth to a new bonding of friendship, a renewed one. On top of that, we had had a good relationship with the BT family as well.



We had been well-treated by everyone in BT. :) It's indeed a spendid experience working there.We had agreed (after some long discussion on the ym conference) to treat the BT stuffs lunch at Pizza Hut to show our graditute. Besides, we had also made a card, as a token of appreciation for thier kindness. Kar Fei had helped me out in the making of the card, while the rest had brainstormed for the tagline to put on the card.



Ahh... it's a good ending.. very good indeed. I would not resist if i were to asked to work in BT for the near future. This is definitely a walk to remember.... ..for the rest of my life







one big happy family~ ahahah, my bt collegues



the card we made for them

"aku cinta kepadamu"

ohh..i think u just need to post something up today ;p. i had been mesmerised by this song, "Aku Cinta KepadaMu" which sung by Jac in Malaysian Idol Top 12 Finalist last friday. You can get the vid HERE Many thanks to chriswo who had done a great job in maintaining the website. ;p



by the way, this song is originally sung by Ruth Sahanaya. Here, i've include some of the lyrics(those sung by Jac) :



Di lubuk hatiku tersimpan

Ada rasa bimbang

Yang enggan ku ceritakan



Aku cinta kepadamu

Aku rindu di pelukmu

Ingin ku akhiri

Yang telah terjadi

Lamunan membawamu kembali



Engkaupun keliru

Menilai erti cinta kita

Yang kau kira selamanya



get the complete lyrics HERE ;)

"first-time"s Saturday..

last saturday, i had had a few first-times in my life ..



1) i went to midvalley by commuter and walked from Seputih station with chernliang - oh man, on the way, i saw a flasher below the bridge, but thank God we walked in crowds, so it didn't really frighten me off.



2) watched Spiderman 2 in Gold Class GSV, it cost a bomb. RM35, but since i haven't watch Spiderman 2 and it's only screened on the Gold Class Cinema plus the movie is more than 2 hours long, i guess it's worthy after all.



3) Got myself a digicam, after one long-awaited year, had been wanting to buy a digicam since last year, but.. yes, there are soo many BUTs, .. anyway, i managed to get hold of one now.. it's my FIRST DIGICAM. i've never own a camera before. Mich said, i'm gonna make a good use of it. ah ha.. my close friends know that i'm a photo-freak :p



btw, i bought Nikon CoolPix 5200 , which costed me rm1788, it came with a tripod, an additional battery, 256 memory card, a bag and a few other little little stuffs :D. i guess it doesn't look as cool and as stylish as Canon, and personally i like Ixus II more, but God knows why i bought Nikon CoolPix 5200 instead, cos i really dunno why. :D (i did prayed during lunch for a good digicam ~ maybe this is it, ahahha)





Nikon CoolPix 5200



after i purchased it, i was still wondering why i bought it and really gave lobak and chernliang a hard time :p (they went to the digicam fair with me, but it doesn't help much, cos they never give me any opinions, i have to decide myself :( ) But, thanks to neo's comment today, he said that it's a good deal and a good cam *thanks neo* ohh, and i need to thank lifelesone for patiently listening to my grumble *thanks goh*



4) my first time goin for Acts Saturday Night Service. Usually i'll go for the Sunday church service. ;p groovy service ;)



all in all, i wanna thank God for a digicam and for the blessings in my life ;p
