* my paria phone.

yes! unbelievable much?
not only iphone and blackberry can update twitter okay, my paria phone also can! bwahaha
but of course, smartphones are always the best. boohoo..

anyway, i received a sms from hotlink while i was sleeping yesterday.
just some normal deals with free kfc. of course, what attracted me wasn’t the talk time and how many sms i can send, but the kfc. :9
so i eventually went to hotlink’s website just to check out the deal but in the end, i found something better.

of course, i knew that we can update facebook status through handphones but i never bother checking how it actually works.
because my phone too damn paria already, i didn’t know even my paria phone can update facebook status.
i was too free yesterday, so i took the time to read and see how it actually works.
i think facebook and twitter is roughly the same. i only check out how it works on twitter.

apparently, it’s real easy. any handphones can do it, even those that are more paria than mine!
but of course, you have to be a maxis user. i believe celcom and digi will roughly have the same thing too, since they so competitive. har har.

so the first step.
Send ON TW to 28933 to activate tweet2me services.
then, you’ll receive some confirmation sms.

step two.
you need to go to this website here and key in the authentication code which you’ll see in the confirmation sms.

step three.
so once you’re done, you can start following your friends. maximum 30 twitter accounts, you cannot follow more than 30 friends. but that’s more than enough, trust me. and don’t follow those who update nonstop, or else you’ll receive sms nonstop and it can get pretty annoying.

you basically just add those you want to follow into your list and whenever they update their twitter, you will receive a sms and see what they actually just update.
but it’s not that sensitive though. you’ll miss out quite a number of tweets from your followers but i still find it acceptable.

plus, you can tweet as much as you want.
just type it all out and send to 28933 and it will update your twitter automatically. they will send you a sms to notify you once your status is updated.
you must be thinking, receiving tweets from followers and sending as much tweets as you want. hmm, must be expensive.
but it’s so cheap even a cheapo like me can afford it wtf.

only RM1 per week!!!
murah gila ni! hou peng ahh! hen pien yi!
really worth it. i can tweet while i bath and poo poo somemore. oops sorry. HAHA!

if you’re less fortunate like me *cries*, and you use a damn paria phone but very IN like me cause i tweet wtf, fret not and you can now tweet from your uber paria phone.
or maybe if you want to update facebook status, you can do it too.
find out more from here.

but i wanna change this paria phone.
either i save money from my work, or wait for my brother to change his phone so i can use his.
i always lost my phone if it’s new. damn bad luck can.
and this paria phone, drop thousand times but still working.
drop, split into four parts, put it back together, tadaa continue using.
still, i is happy cause i is can tweet from my paria phone. ngehehh (:

i’m not gonna talk about my bloody assignments this time though i do have the eager to rant here but i know it’s getting pretty annoying.

not ranting but i’ve got questions to ask.
will you choose the one you like over the one you might love?
will you choose friends over your soul mate?

the answer to it might seems obvious but if you notice, a lot of times it will be the other way round.
what if your friends doesn’t like your soul mate? what if your friends doesn’t like your another half?
will you give that person up just because your friends didn’t like him/her?
just because you don’t know how to face your friends when they ask? when you bring them out?

anyway, here’s a little something that i’ve been collecting.

what are the odds ?
the above statement sounds promising to a certain extent. hah!

have you been in the above situation?

this is so cute, haha. :3

4play on thursday. skybar on friday. swimming plus movie on saturday.
a laid back saturday. (:
it’s a saturday, so please do enjoy your lovely weekend people. (:

why my post like very random one? :\

“When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don’t you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out. Don’t give up though the pace seems slow—You may succeed with another blow, Success is failure turned inside out—The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit—It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.”

“Life is the ability to feel so happy, you think your insides are going to explode. It’s being so upset or disappointed, you feel as if your stomach just dropped ten feet out of place. It’s running so hard, you can barely breathe. It’s the feeling of panic when you know you’ve been caught doing something wrong. It’s having that sudden rush before you kiss someone you care about. It’s opening your eyes and feeling them sting because you spent the whole night crying. It’s letting people go because new ones come in all the while realizing that life doesn’t have a purpose unless you let it.”

“Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, life would be a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere, safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.”

“You know it’s been said that we just don’t recognize the significant moments of our lives while they’re happening. We grow complacent with ideas, or things or people and we take them for granted and it’s usually not until that thing is about to be taken away from you that you’ve realized how wrong you’ve been; that you realized how much you need it, how much you love it.”

“In life, we do things. Some, we wish we had never done and some we wish we could replay a million times. They make us who we are and, in the end, they shape and detail us. If we were to reserve them, we wouldn’t be the person we are today. So, just live. Make mistakes and have wonderful memories. But, never second guess who you are, where you’ve been and, most importantly, where you’re going.”

quotes . me love. ♥
i keep a lot of quotes . some are really inspiring. (:
i hope these quotes gets you going when you feel like giving up .
it certainly did for me. (:

I actually do, a lot. I’ve got a thing for horoscopes since I’m young.
I particularly find them accurate to some extent.

But then there’s a lot of people out there who doesn’t believe in astrology, telling me ‘Eh, what they write don’t sound like me larh. These kind of things cannot believe one larh’. Especially guys.
Then I’ll start wondering how come they don’t find it true when for me, almost everything written is so true. Almost.

I somehow found the answer to it when I went for a tarot reading at the beginning of the year.
I read horoscopes, I play tarot, I see fengshui, I wear crystals, you scared or not? wtf.
Okay, anyway.. the answer is that the horoscopes that we usually refer to is star sign.
You know like, I’m born on 5th of November so that makes me a Scorpio. But actually there’s more to it other than the main star sign itself. We still have moon sign, mars sign, venus sign, and the list goes on.
How will you know which is your moon sign and all the other signs? Fret not.
You can calculate it here, just type in your birth data and voila!! Everything you need to read is just there, super easy. (:

I’ll show you how it works so I’m using myself as an example. I’ll bold those which I think is REALLY accurate.

Rising Sign is in 23 Degrees Capricorn
[Rising sign is your physical self or the face you present to the world. The mask one wears in public… it is the first impression we make when we meet new people.]
*
You are practical and reserved but very ambitious. An achiever and a hard worker, you respect success. Older looking and very serious as a youth, things lighten up and you relax more as you mature. You have a serious view of the world as being a difficult place to be in. Very envious of those who seem to have an easier life than you have, relaxation and play do not come easily. It is important that you had abundant parental support as a child so that you do not feel lonely and isolated as an adult. Generally, you have a good, earthy sense of humor that can carry you through when times really do get tough. You are purposeful, self-willed, industrious, realistic and responsible.

Sun is in 12 Degrees Scorpio.
[It reveals the part of our personality that is our basic self, or who we are when we are not surrounded by other people like our most basic, broad, inner traits.]
*
Intense and complex by nature (lol), you have extremely strong emotional reactions to most situations. Feelings are often very difficult for you to verbalize. Therefore you have a tendency to be very quiet – - to brood and think a lot. You seldom get overtly angry, but, when you do, you are furious and unforgiving. When you make an emotional commitment, it is total — you are not attracted to superficial or casual relationships. If you are challenged, you take it as a personal affront and tend to lash out and fight back in a vengeful manner. You love mysteries and the supernatural. A good detective, you love getting to the roots of problems and you enjoy finding out what makes other people tick. You are known to be very willful, very powerful and quite tenacious!
(Well, I really do like to dig people’s informations and whatnots. :\ )

Moon is in 23 Degrees Virgo.
[Moon Signs help define our emotional development, or express the unconscious side of our personality. It explains why we do what we do.]
*
You tend to be serious-minded but cheerful for the most part. You need tasks that engage both your mind and your hands. A careful worker, you enjoy making things. You are neat and orderly (okay, this is not true), and are very concerned with good health habits. Fastidious to the extreme, you cannot tolerate messes and will immediately clean them up (so is this :\). Reserved, shy, and very self-critical, you tend to be very hard on yourself. You usually will go out of your way to be helpful and useful to others. Practical, reliable, efficient and conservative, at times you are a bit of a prude. You are known to lead a simple, uncomplicated, frugal, methodical and unemotional lifestyle. You are devoted and caring to those you love.

Mercury is in 27 Degrees Libra.
[Mercury Signs are connected to communication, reasoning, intellect and awareness.]
*
You are known for not jumping to conclusions about things. You tend to weigh all possible choices very carefully before making a decision(i think). When in the slightest amount of doubt, you will compromise rather than ruffle any feathers. You are a true raconteur of culture and taste — your ideas and opinions are neat, elegant and refined. A born diplomat, you dislike discord so much that you will go out of your way to make others feel comfortable and at ease. You speak softly and pleasantly.
They wish everyone were equal in the intellectual circles.

Venus is in 07 Degrees Libra.
[Aka love sign, represents the qualities of love, romance, sensuality, culture, beauty, affection and social appeal. Therefore very prominent in aspects of love; influencing how you attract love as well as how you act in a relationship.]
*
A very friendly and outgoing person, you hate to be alone (TRUE, wtf). Beware of a continuing tendency to compromise yourself in order to avoid being lonely. Try to be yourself, not what others would like you to be. You have an innate desire to be in refined and elegant surroundings and will go out of your way to create a plush and comfortable atmosphere around you. You have heightened aesthetic sensibilities and are attracted to music and the arts. Try to avoid using your well-known seductive charm in order to get out of doing what you consider to be dirty work!

Mars is in 00 Degrees Aries.
[Mars is energy, action and desire]
*
You are very independent and self-assertive, and you have lots of physical energy. You are not satisfied unless you can be the first to do something. As such, you are more comfortable in leadership positions than you are as an underling. When you are challenged by anyone for anything, you delight in the competitive process and will fight long and hard for your beliefs. You are bold and courageous and often act without thinking (wtf). At times, in your zeal to get ahead, you are tactless and offensive — learn that cooperation with others can often bring you nearer to your goals quicker because of the support you will get.

Jupiter is in 03 Degrees Gemini.
[Jupiter Signs are associated with luck and good fortune. And also helps improve one's life.]
*
You have a logical, detached, objective view of most things. Your interests are wide-ranging and you are an avid student, with expertise in many different areas. You love to work things out in your mind — everything you do is reduced to an exercise in logic and reason. You have the ability to grasp abstractions and to deal successfully with the larger issues of life. Your overemphasis on developing your powerful intellect can cause your emotional and intuitive abilities to atrophy unless you consciously choose to exercise them.

Saturn is in 29 Degrees Sagittarius.
[Saturn represents restrictions, limitations, delays and authority.]
*
Basically quite conservative, you respect traditional authority figures and are very thankful and supportive of the laws and institutions which govern your life. You learn and accept new ideas only after having very thoroughly examined them. Ideals and abstract concepts are important to you only if they can be used in some practical fashion. You are so practical and so orderly that you have natural skills in planning, administrating and organizing (i think).

Uranus is in 28 Degrees Sagittarius.
[Uranus helps bring about progressive change in all aspects of our lives. Uranus Signs also represent enlightenment, novelty and ingenuity.]
*
You, and most of your peers, have the tendency to think that all ideas, customs and traditions from the past are outmoded and irrelevant. You are attracted to radically new ideas, philosophies and religions that will, hopefully, cause sweeping changes throughout the world.

Neptune is in 08 Degrees Capricorn.
[A bridge to all things mysterious, Neptune Signs slowly guide each generation to its destiny.]
*
You, and your entire generation, will idealize work, practicality and the ability to attain reasonable goals. But, because you will also stress the need to be selfless and giving, you may find it difficult to attain your goals unless you have lowered your expectations on all fronts.

Pluto is in 12 Degrees Scorpio.
[Pluto Signs are connected to transformation and life challenges. ]
*
For your entire generation, this is a period of intense research and discovery in areas that were heretofore considered mysterious, remote or taboo. The root causes for many complex occurrences will be unearthed due to the intensity and thoroughness of the search.

N. Node is in 12 Degrees Pisces.
[Okay, I don't know what is N.Node. Lol.]
*
You’re attracted to others who need your assistance. You seem to go out of your way to form relationships with those who are weak, sick, injured, addicted or troubled in some way or other. At your best you can indeed provide the relief that others need. But at times you can be victimized by those who would prey on your good nature and take advantage of you. This can lead to all sorts of negative situations — make sure that those you assist are truly worthy of your time, energy and commitment. A little enlightened self-protectiveness on your part can make your life work much, much smoother!

Overall I find this website not tooooo accurate but still acceptable and also it is easier for readings.
Go to this website here if you want a more accurate and detail readings. I personally prefer the detail ones.
Go and give it a try and see if its accurate or you can check your another half’s horoscope as well so you can adjust to them a little. (:

I’m quite a revengeful person but I actually don’t like to hold vengeance. But then again, I will feel really stupid when people bully me (as in real bully) and I just do nothing. I can’t help. I think of revenging very automatically, wth. Of course, that does not apply to little silly arguments or whatsoever. I mean big stuff.
I think its normal to be angry when people treated you like a piece of shit but I also think that one should not hold silly vengeance for too long.

Sometimes, I cannot fathom as to why some people are still holding on to grudges about the little things in life, holding on to the past that some other people no longer give a heck about.
Just get over it, you know its not gonna do you any good.
Don’t jeopardize your relationship with other people be it partners, friends or family members.

Let go the grudges and hatred. I’m trying, you should too try.
“to err is human, to forgive divine”

This is my final project for Alternative voices where I have to talk to someone who is 40 years old and above about Kuala Lumpur. It is called ‘Emotional Tour of KL’.
Location : Jalan Raja Laut, Kuala Lumpur.

It took me some time to figure out how to work this project. Now that it is done, I decided to post it up here.
I’m not too sure but maybe this isn’t as good as I want it to be. Time constraint you know and how ideas only flow at the very last minute. Yah, the idea thing always happened to me. Pressure and stress give me ideas, damn.
I started doing this project on Thursday midnight and I’ve to hand it in before Friday or on Friday itself.
And then my lecturer decided to be a goody goody man and extended the date line to Sunday because there’s still a lot of my coursemates that have yet to finish their work. Sigh, why cant he decide to be a good man and extend the time before I finish my project? A little unfair to those who rush and finish their project on time, no?
Whatever, I’ll forgive him for that because he’s so gonna lend me this book that I’ve been longing to read.
Like finally I get to have a chance to read this book, ‘Chin Peng : My side of history’. Can’t wait to get it from his hands next semester. (:

Anyway, I’m done babbling.
Do read my project and tell me what you guys think. It actually means quite a lot to me.
And oh, pictures after the jump.
Thankiuu. (:

Everybody has got a story to tell be it a successful entertainer or an old lady you bump into at the market.
And everyplace too has got its own story ready to be unfold anytime.

This is a story of a forty-four years old petite Chinese lady whose name is called Kelly with the surname Chan.
Born and raised in Bentong, Pahang, Kelly is eager to find out what it is like to stay in big cities when she is young.
Not a highly educated lady as she only receives her education until Form 3 but that does not stop her in voicing out opinions and thoughts.

Having six siblings at home isn’t something to be proud of as her family is not at all wealthy. Kelly is the fourth child. One by one they leave their house; the eldest sister gets married and moved to Kuantan while the second sister shifts to another street at Bentong.
The remaining ones, one after another left to a place called Kuala Lumpur.
Kelly left at the age of sixteen to explore and discover new things in life at a place she always dream of going. The big city, Kuala Lumpur.

Her first job at KL is being hired as a seamstress and the paid is only around Rm200 back then. She rents a room at Ulu Klang that cost Rm80 every month which is quite a big amount she said. Therefore she shares a room with her cousins and friends, four young ladies in a room.
‘We sleep there, we eat there, and we basically do everything in that one tiny room’ Kelly said. Not something I can imagine myself doing; I suddenly realize how lucky I am to have a room all by myself.

She worked as a seamstress for four years and she left for another job when she saw a job vacancy hiring cashier in the newspaper. She told me that she can’t be a seamstress forever.
She begins her journey as a cashier at a karaoke and bar shop called Mings at Jalan Raja Laut at the age of twenty. During that time, Mings is the place where she spends most of her time at and she had a lot of fun working there.

Kelly said, ‘My job as a cashier is easy and at the same time I get to enjoy myself there. Musics are being played all day long where I can even sing to entertain myself and the customers. Working at Mings is like playing and having fun with your friends.’
Not only can she enjoy herself with friends and customers there, she also have a reason to dress up herself nicely everyday she goes to work.

Kelly experience fright and love at the same place, Mings. It shocked and frightened the petite lady when a burglar went in to Mings holding a gun. She said ‘He snatched everything he could and all of us are so frightened to even make a squeak. I’ve got no choice but to hand in all my money.’

It seems like one unlucky event comes after another because months later when Kelly walked off from Mings with her customer or friend as she prefer to call him, a thief walked past her and snatched her handbag. She stood there feeling stone but her guy friend chase after the thief.
After chasing, he came back with an empty hand and a sick face. He threw up right there in front of her.
She felt so touched, that’s where the love begins.

It is at Mings that she found her true love who she marries later on. She still works at Mings after married and giving birth to a baby girl but stopped during the nineties when she starts up her own business.
She still goes to Mings once in awhile with her husband and children but she never expected to go back there again for a different reason in the future.
She never thought that she will ever go back to Mings again but things took a serious downturn.

She lost her husband to cancer during year 2000 and the business she had back then is not earning her any money to continue support her family.
She made a decision and closes down her business, went back to Mings and started working there once again. This time, her job scope is no longer as a cashier but she is there to entertain customers, to drink with them. At the age of 36 with two kids in hand, that is what she needs to do.

It has been so many years and she is still working at Mings, drinking with the customers every day. Looking at her face, telling me this story of hers I feel a sudden ache at my heart. How much hardship she has been through after losing her husband, to only go back to a place she never thought of going back.

She showed me photographs of her working at Mings during her twenties. Inside the pictures, I can feel that she really enjoys her work and her eyes somehow tell me how happy she is back then.
But at this moment when I stare at her face, I know she no longer is as happy as last time. There isn’t much passion left.

“Kuala Lumpur gives me too many memories especially at Mings where I worked for so many years. KL definitely changes a lot. From a few cars on the small road to so many cars causing traffic jams on highways. Last time, I’m afraid of burglars and thieves but today, I’m even more afraid. I dare to say other than the skyscrapers, KL is really getting worse. Every day when I opened up the newspaper, there must be a few cases of snatch thieves here and there. Living in KL is living in fear. Sometimes I really wish to stop working and shift back to hometown to stay but of course I’m not allow to as I still have to bring up my two children. Kuala Lumpur is a big city but now I know big city is never like what I dream of.”

Listening to : Mad World by Gary Jules

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very, very
Mad world, mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me, what’s my lesson?
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very, very
Mad world, mad world, enlarging your world
Mad world

i’m quite busy with my assignments.
just get 3 done and i’ve got a big one i need to finish up tonight. ..
too much to say but i don’t know how..
bye_

* Be different. Not like any others.

This is what I’ve been working on recently for my Copywriting assignment.
I need to look for a print ad and make a whole new copy out of it.
I choose the not-so-new Tiger beer ad and turn it into the above.
The background picture, I took it from Deviantart. I was in a hurry and didn’t get to credit him/her.
Sorry. :X
Do tell me if you know who’s this picture from so I can credit him/her.

What do you think? Do you like it?
Well, I hope it didn’t turn out too sucky.
I’ve did another one as well, but the copy is with my friend. ):
I actually need to do a presentation for this last Thursday but I’ve got some skin thingy going on after I came back from Murni the night before.
My body is red with patches and its super itchy and thus I skipped my presentation. When I woke up in the noon, everything’s gone and I yay-ed because I don’t have to go to doctor.
I asked my group mates if they presented on behalf of me or we have to present it the next week.
They presented on behalf of me and guess what, my lecturer asked for mc.
I’ve got none. ):
‘If you’ve got none, you get zero.’ WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Die die also need to see doctor. Damn sad can.
Doctor: What problem are you having?
Me: @.@ Er…….. I’ve got ‘fung mok’ (the name of the stupid skin thingy in chinese) last night, but I actually recovered from it but my lecturer needs a mc so……………………
Doctor: Oh, ok. I’ll give you some medicine in case it comes back.
Me: Oh… Okay………… -___________-

Done!! That’s like super fast man. I’ve never seen a doctor this fast in my life.
Bloodyhell man, cost me Rm40!!! Feel as though I use that 40 bucks to buy back my marks and I actually did my work!!
Life is full of shit sometimes. Whenever I’m having money crisis, shits like this alwayssssssss happen. Grr!

Anyway, just the other day when I went for a drink with my friend, he told me he received this email that explains what marketing is. Those are the terms that I use to study in class and I personally find it kinda hilarious.
Enjoy. (:

What is Marketing?

You see a gorgeous girl at a party.
You go up to her and say, “I am very rich. Marry me!”
That’s Direct Marketing

You’re at a party with a bunch of friends and see a gorgeous girl.
One of your friends goes up to her and pointing at you says,
He’s very rich. Marry him.”
That’s Advertising.

You see a gorgeous girl at a party.
You go up to her and get her telephone number.
The next day you call and say, “Hi, I’m very rich. Marry me.”
That’s Telemarketing.

You’re at a party and see a gorgeous girl.
You get up and straighten your tie; you walk up to her and pour her a drink.
You open the door for her, pick up her bag after she drops it,offer her a ride,
and then say, “By the way, I’m very rich “Will you marry me?”
That’s Public Relations.

You’re at a party and see a gorgeous girl.
She walks up to you and says, “You are very rich, I want to marry you.”
That’s Brand Recognition.

You see a gorgeous girl at a party.
You go up to her and say, “I’m rich. Marry me”
She gives you a nice hard slap on your face.
That’s Customer Feedback.

I’ve got work, but I’m super lazy.
Procrastinator signing off, wtf.

Whats Street Art Project, you ask.
Well, its an e-boutique but e-boutique sounds a little gay for this, haha.
Ok, they are a new brand online fashion hub which sells male apparels and its founded by 3 guys.
Which 3 guys?

Remember my Malacca post?
These 3 guys are Wai Lun, Gary, and Sim. Sim did not follow us to Malacca, you cant see his face at my post.

Here are some of their T-shirts, you can see more at their website.

I really like the mushroom tee, so cool. : )

Their T-shirts are incredibly low price and yet they look so cool.
Quality wise, you don’t have to worry about it.

Oh ya, low price. How low?
They are all price at Rm25 including normal post within Klang Valley.
Yes, you heard me right. Including normal postage, how cool is that. :’D

Please feel free to visit their website and have a look at their products.
You can really see from their website that they put a lot of effort in it and they are pretty systematic which is what I like best.

Go in to their website, look at those cool pictures and click on it to see further detail.
Chinese New Year is coming soon and although this year we are in recession, but with such incredible price I’m sure most of you guys can afford it right?
