Merry Christmas to all!!
May you all have a happy & blessed Christmas and a prosperous & meaningful new year!! Woo hoo!!!
Sorry, i've been updating lots lately coz i'm so damn busy but what to do? heheheh...
Hope you haf a great Christmas. did you get what you want?? hehehe... in 4 years, I've finally received presents for Christmas!! better still, for once, I've actually received a present fromone of my friends!!! hehehe... last yr I had no presents! And this year I'm so excited abt receiving a present from a friend coz my friends never ever did give me any presents, except Ai Ling but we usually exchange gifts at least twice a year and not during Christmas. hehehe...
Anyway, take care you all...
P/S: not sure who's actually reading this except for Fifi, Lu Jee & Ai Ling as 99% of my friends who I've been trying to "reconnect" to are not responding... So while this is a happy season, I'm actually still slightly broken heart... friends who made plans with me & never did fulfill it, ppl i've contacted to meet up have not replied. ppl that I'm trying to patch up with isn't replying too... Sheesh! So much for "friends you make in university are friends for life!" << note for the Dean of Curtin, don't repeat this at graduation again!
My friends now r those I made when I was a kid and those who I met in uni but never really hung out with/ barely talk with! ppl that i practically 'sehidup, semati' (live together, die together) with and those who I hung out with through out most of my waking hours aren't even texting or emailing/ messaging me any more. So, what the.... they can rot whr they r.

Aargh!!! I have a job interview on Thursday morning!! *starts to freak out now* This is my second time at the same place with the same people but for a different post. Still wonder if I am doing this coz I want to or coz I have to... More like I have to coz my parents push me to apply. Grrr....
If I get this job, it's gonna be a HUGE responsibility (really, really huge responsibilty. Bigger than that of Curtin's PR officer... ;/ Scary!) and yeah, I'm most definitely NOT going back to Kuching lorr... :( I miss home.
Sigh... i'm not going to Miri too tomorrow coz of the haze situation and coz my dad has an appointment later in the afternoon (think so) and then we have to attend this dinner at night... Sigh... so busy doing 'diplomatic' works with the family, huh? Oh well, can't complain since I've been doing this since I was born and besides- free food! hahahah...

Current Mood: annoyed... stoopid haze making Brunei so warm
Current Colour: red
Current Music: the sound of d computer
Current Annoyance: haze. haze. haze! I need a thunder storm!
Current Obsession: Dynomite & solitaire!
Grr... So annoyed right now. The haze is killing me. Itchy (an occassionally sore)eyes, itchy nose leading to flu, sore throat & heat! Grrr!!! plus now, I can smell my neighbour downstairs cooking roti canai. Dunno why but during non fasting month their roti canai smells so delicious that even in my sleep I can dream of it and when I wake up, I haf to raid the kitchen to make myself some! But now it seems as if the roti canai is burnt every night (well, if I'm awake during sahur time la!)
Anyway, I'm sure a couple of ppl reading this knows something abt my dad being one of those up for a 'promotion' thingy gummy. Not really a promotion la, just that my dad' 'boss' is retiring and well, the need someone to be the new 'boss'. (well, if u know abt this, u obviously what line of job my dad is in...) Dad made the annoucement this morning (Sunday) and the whole place (church) was pin drop silence. LOL... my sis & I were sniggering away. it's not that my dad got it la. We were sniggering at the whole situation thing. My sis said she could haf droped a feather and hear it touch the floor!
I guess lots of people think/ feel that we/I am disappointed. Seriously, we are more relieved than disappointed. I guess it's a huge burden off our backs now. Why? Well, for starters, we would ahve to move back to Kuching. I hate packing!! LOL. but seriously, what we were scared of was that if my dad had gotten it, the family would be uprooted AND separated (mom working here & mike completing form 5 next year) Plus, it would be an added responsibility to dad and we probably won't ever see him much. I mean, right now he's barely home sometimes coz of work, meetings, visitations etc... What more if he had gotten it?
Worse still... I probably have to continue to be a 'goody two shoes'. hahahah... well, I guess I'm pretty tame right now compared to my rebellious day. but still, those were just minuscle (spl?) things compared to what is happen round the world. I proud to say I don't do drug, drink nor smoke nor do I engage in "straineouss physical activities involving bodily fluids". If u get what I mean. In fact, i think i was pretty much a homebody/ girl next door since i moved to brunei. No sneaking out like before (i was always sneaking out to the post office to send fan mails... LOL). no playing truant or getting dimerit marks or being a pain in th ass for teachers. hahaha...
In uni I had the opportunity to do what ever I wanted, esp the last 2 years since I lived ALONE. no house mates to say anything if I did anything they disapprove. hahaha... Hey, cud haf brought a boy back/ sleep over/ whatever if I wanted but of course, the way i was brought up and by my own choice i never did that. LOL. hell, I would probably regret it til the day I die if had done so! Thank God for being so grounded. hahaha... but I guess i turn out right. mom told me before, she was worried I wont turn out right. but I know myself, my limits and what choices to make. If I had made the choice of saying yes to someone, probably I might even be married with kids today. who knows what wud happen?
It's weird, i have all sorts of friends. from the straight laced clean ones to those with a past to those who aren't so clean to suicidal ones to addicts of many sorts (sex, cigarettes, alcohol, etc) but i've pretty much remained the same. The peer pressure and temptations were always out there but yeah, never really succumb to it. Of course not only cos of my upbringing, i have really good friends who really cared and they prevented me from doing anything stupid that i might regret. Hey, I almost started smoking coz of stupid rows with a friend. not once but a couple of times but my other friends were always there to watch out for me. Thanks Guys! Esp Sameen & Shaun during the CV Environmental Rally 2003. I was really depressed. Another time I nearly jumped off my friend's 10th floor balcony coz of a row with the same person. Thank God my guardian angel was 'working' over time that night. : ( Never want to live another episode like that.
Eiy, it's almost 5am. i know I've been pouring my heart out and ranting so much. Sorry if i made life a little bothersome for a while. hehehe... But life goes on. I'm ok. Pretty happy these days. i try to. A laugh a day keeps the shrink away! hahaha...

If you've known me for ages... two things that pisses me off lots more than anything else (except being backstabbed la) are
- being ignored especially if I'm there and the people act as if I'm not or stupidly ask "where is Serena" when I'm in front of them. Or just ignoring my SMS. That's plain rude!
- Being under appreciated! I hate that!! My uni life can be sum up as "Overworked and Underappreciated"
But then again, who gives a f*** sometimes when d ppl dat unappreciate u r d ones dat u dun care to impress... I dun mean d church thingy, I mean d ones in uni. My mottos in uni in addition to "Overworked & Underappreciated" was "Sh!t Happens", "Life Without Stress is Meaningless" and "Curtin No Cute Guys!" hahahaha... the last one is more of a statement than motto la. No offense to d Curtin guys, but my 'taste' varies lots from the other girls in uni. Besides, who wanna haf a bf dat was once a friends bf who was once another friend's bf? That's d scenario in Curtin u know.
Not that no guy actually tried to get close to me. Hell, some even try to get hanky panky with me (Yeah, you. If u read this, u r lame.) I had 3 stalkers in Foundation that I had to change my phone number! They like to call between 12am - 2am! 2 of them called me a few times at night, trying to talk crap. One really stalked me coz he knows whr I live, SMS me to tell me he can see me in d comp lab, what i'm eating, what i wear, etc... FREAKY!! . In my first year & second year some guys (not fr Curtin) got my number fr friends and start call me. Annoying la esp those that wanna talk crap! My number was spread to even as far as Labuan! Crazy! Worse of all, most of these guys would say "Can you speak Chinese?" Coz they cant speak English (or well enough). Aiyoyo... that irritates me.
Cant stand ppl who cant speak English. If u cant, then speak malay to me la! I'm not like typical ppl in Brunei who cant speak proper Malay la (they speak local Malay mostly). Hell, d examiners fort my O levels Malay oral said I can speak Malay better than malay ppl! hahaha... true or not sunno la but then again, I went to private school where English is emphasized lots. No surprises here. besides, i studied in Malaysia la. We have a HUGE advantage. Eh, but my English not so bad ya. One of d top students in my class leh. :P Of course, when I blog i use lots of malay & Chinese expressiojns & words too so it sound kinda bad sometimes. hahahah...
Anyways, gtg... got a vid to add to my blog. Hopefully it works. Grr... so hard to get it done. D song cant be loaded on line coz of d stooooopid connection! Did I say i talk crap most of d time? Oh no... forgot to finish mopping d hse. half way done! hahaha...

**wrote this last night**
Finally… I could take a break & ‘goyang kaki’. Today was a busy, busy day. Started at around 5.30am when mom woke me up. Around 6am mom, dad, grandma & I went to Limbang Immigration. I had to walk across the border with my grandma to ‘cop’ aka stamp her passport (visit pass is only 14 days ma so have to stamp it before it expires). Wah lau eh. Can u imagine me half asleep walking across the border? Luckily it is not like Miri immigration which is so far. Mati pula if haf to walk across. Hahaha… It was so cold la this morning. What do you expect at 6.30am? Lots of car… about 20 -30 car nya la, not like in the end/ beginning of the month after pay day. Definitely about 40-60 cars la then.
Anyway, after stamping the passport we went back la. On the way we saw this truck towing a ‘pulley’ with a buffalo on it! Aiyoyo… so kesian la I saw it. The buffalo was on its way to the butcher! To make things worse, another buffalo’s head was placed at its feet. Ish… Mom said “why are they so cruel? I think it must be crying because it knows it is going to be slaughtered because it can see its’ friend’s head at its feet.” Aiyoyo… so kesian pun ada. Anyway, got so pictures… not so clear la coz my dad didn’t want to go so near the buffalo coz it ‘shitted’ on d pulley. Hahaha… we saw shit coming out! Eew!! So gross la. But really kesian la… I dun like to see fresh or life stock, poultry, fish, seafood or whatever before I eat it. A family friend used to give us some chickens that she slaughtered. They were fro her garden! Eeew!!! I refuse to eat it coz I’ve been to her house before and the chickens/hens were like pets! Ish! Imagine eating your pet. I also can’t stand fresh fish that have not bee ‘claeaned’ and cooked, especially in the fish market. Aargh!!! Make me wanna vomit only. I get nauseous if I go to the market and the smell of the fish is so strong and pungent! It’s minging especially the putrid smell of rotten fish and its ‘insides’. Eew!! Uwek!!!!!
So we got home around 8 something. By 8.30am I was already in bed, continuing my sleep. Sleepy la. Come on la, you guys know my bed time is like after 1am. I slept at 2am yesterday night bah. At 10.30 I got up and then we all went shopping at the mall. Bought a couple of things for some people & I got myself ‘pearl’ bracelets.
(Ooh…got to go. My dad wants to use the computer… hmm… I know. I’d just watch my new DVD box set la. My first box set. Hahaha… Prison Break. Wentworth’s such a hot jailbird! Hahaha… brb…)
Aaah… back once more. It’s 3.07am now. No. no. I didn’t watch the whole set la. I started at 10.30 plus and watched the first & second episode. The Pilot was 2 hours long bah… so finished around 1.30am. Then I kind of hung around d living room, walk up & down… disturb my sis… anyway, more about that later la.)
So anyway, as I was saying, I bought a couple of things to bring back to Kuching. Can’t wait to get back home. We’re leaving on Wednesday morning at 5.30am!! Or so I was told. Hahaha… about noon we went to pick my dad from the office then we went to Hua Ho Mall Manggis to have lunch. One of dad’s friend ‘belanja’ us lunch at the Emperor’s Court. My first time there. The Dim Sum’s not bad. Hey, Royal Brunei Catering 9RBCF) food, what do you expect? Kind of frustrating though, he said today is Friday so we won’t order meat. Haiya, my family isn’t THAT strict you know. Considering what a feast we had for dinner later on… Anyway, food not that great compared to Dim Sum. Then again, maybe because it lacked the taste/ ingredients of meat! Hahaha… I’m a ferocious meat eater! After lunch we went back and the whole household except for my dad (who went back to work because he’s got a meeting) had a nap. Fuyoo… letih gila man. I was so exhausted for I don’t know what reason and when mom woke me up at 5.30 I couldn’t get up. I was like trapped in this semi-conscious state for a while. Plus my bro was playing this instrumental soundtracks CD I bought for him. Good music plus tiredness made me fall asleep. Finally I managed to drag myself out of bed. After I went to freshen up I sat in the living room and nearly doze off again! Sigh… I miss those days in uni when I could sleep all I want when I have nothing better to do. (Clubbing isn’t an option. It’s out of the question because I can’t stand the loud- and sometimes unpleasant- music plus the smoky atmosphere. And I prefer shopping than spend my money on useless things like alcohol)
At almost 7 we went to have dinner at Excapade Sushi Japanese Restaurant. One of the owners belanja us dinner at the Gadong branch. Pretty packed when we arrived but we got a VIP room! Hahaha… one of the waitress told another to bring us to “VIP room 5” bah. Hehehe… the room was in the new extension of the restaurant. We had to take off our shoes and kind of sit on the floor. It’s different, we don’t have to sit crossed legs, there’s like a ‘hole’ ion the middle of the room for the table and our legs. Hahaha… sakai bah. Never been into the room before. My sis goes there pretty frequent over the last 2 years or so. So she was the “head order-er” (I’m the one in charge when we have meals at the Le Taj Indian restaurant because I ate lots of Indian food when I was in miri… sometimes everyday or every other day!) She got me the prawn with rice sushi thingy, crab meat thingy, fried chicken sushi (she had the seaweed) and sizzling beef steak and soup. Hahaha.. think that’s a lot, I think we at about B$60 worth of food. My bro, dad & gandma had bento, my mom had this ‘kim chi’ soup thingy, and my bro also had raw salmon (eew! Fish is bad, raw is even worse! Luckily no smell!!!). then we had some other sushi which my sister feasted on, octopus, seaweed jelly, jellyfish and some kind of Japanese fried kuih or something like that la… the pics…
After that amazing filling dinner (had been on a 1 meal a day soup diet and today I had to ditch it. Lost a few pound already though) we went to this place that sell VCDs, DVDs and CDs. We call it Communist shop or komunis tiam (in Hokkien). Don’t know why, ask my sis la. Darn cheap stuffs there. I got POTC2 DVD, Mariah Carey music video (come on… it’s not to see her but the hot guys in there. Seriously.), Christina Aguilera’s Back to Basics, my 3rd Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights CD (my first got stolen so I replaced it and it got borrowed and never returned) and my Prison Break box set. I didn’t get the original box set because I didn’t have enough money (only have 20 & it’s 30. hey, Mall got the same box set –though looks different- & it’s 28 only!) and because I want to check the price in Kuching. If cheaper I buy there la. Ooh la la… 24 hours of Wenworth… should be worth it. Hahaha… don’t mind the pun! But I’m definitely going to get the original DVD. I would also buy Just My Luck original DVD in Kuching la. Was searching for Jessica Simpson’s new CD (not sure it’s out yet, got to check), nelly Furtado, Paris Hilton (hey, just curious you know. Also to add to my ever expanding collection), McFly’s American Edition album (Just My Luck… the ‘fake’ ones here have the correct cover but the wrong songs! Weird, they have other singers on it but none of McFly’s songs. Not even the title song. Weird.), Fightstar (good for smashing things around) and Shayne Ward’s album. Shayne’s song “No Promises” is stuck in my head. Nice song and sad video… reminds me of “No Me Ames” and the movie Ghost (I saw a music video –I think karaoke- of the Righteous Brother’s Unchained Melody using clips from the movie) where the guy dies and he comes back to see the girl kinda thingy. This kind of movie/video always make me want to cry and it would bother me for days… kind of disturbs me psychologically. I don’t know why but it seems like Dé Ja Vu you know. Maybe it because I had this recurring dream that I was married in the 60s to a Man Utd (or England, can’t really recall) footballer who died or something. Weird la… but it kept on recurring when I was 16… for a few months then it went off. Weird. But I don’t believe in reincarnation so it’s just bollocks!! Hahaha…
So, back to today. As I was saying I watched the DVD. Cool series and not what you imagine. I mean for a title like “Prison Break” you would imagine a lot of fighting and all that, Not so much. Maybe in the first few episode. It’s more of a psychological thing. It’s brilliant. Some of you guys know I like to read book or watch movies that toys with your mind and make you think here and there. Lots of plot and subplot which makes it interesting and captivating (I should know. I studied this kind of thing in uni, remember? Hehehe…) Wentworth as Michael Scorfield is the Mastermind of the escape and his character is very mysterious and intriguing. I like watching characters that are more than what you see. Actually I watched it on 8TV since July but I missed the first half and there’s two more episodes left (next week and the one after) so I might as well get the DVD right. Don’t want to spoil it for anyone interested but it is interesting la. Sigh… I’m going to devote this weekend to 100% sheer Prison pleasure (definitely worth it. Hahaha...)
Oops… got to go. My sis wants to sleep already. She’s sleeping in the living room tonight. Damn, I can’t go online on nights like this. She likes extreme darkness when she sleeps where as I hate the dark. I slept with the lights on when I was in Miri!! Hahaha… especially when I lived alone for two years. Scary bah coz… I see dead people… hahahaha…. Cheers y’all.

**wrote this last night**
Finally… I could take a break & ‘goyang kaki’. Today was a busy, busy day. Started at around 5.30am when mom woke me up. Around 6am mom, dad, grandma & I went to Limbang Immigration. I had to walk across the border with my grandma to ‘cop’ aka stamp her passport (visit pass is only 14 days ma so have to stamp it before it expires). Wah lau eh. Can u imagine me half asleep walking across the border? Luckily it is not like Miri immigration which is so far. Mati pula if haf to walk across. Hahaha… It was so cold la this morning. What do you expect at 6.30am? Lots of car… about 20 -30 car nya la, not like in the end/ beginning of the month after pay day. Definitely about 40-60 cars la then.
Anyway, after stamping the passport we went back la. On the way we saw this truck towing a ‘pulley’ with a buffalo on it! Aiyoyo… so kesian la I saw it. The buffalo was on its way to the butcher! To make things worse, another buffalo’s head was placed at its feet. Ish… Mom said “why are they so cruel? I think it must be crying because it knows it is going to be slaughtered because it can see its’ friend’s head at its feet.” Aiyoyo… so kesian pun ada. Anyway, got so pictures… not so clear la coz my dad didn’t want to go so near the buffalo coz it ‘shitted’ on d pulley. Hahaha… we saw shit coming out! Eew!! So gross la. But really kesian la… I dun like to see fresh or life stock, poultry, fish, seafood or whatever before I eat it. A family friend used to give us some chickens that she slaughtered. They were fro her garden! Eeew!!! I refuse to eat it coz I’ve been to her house before and the chickens/hens were like pets! Ish! Imagine eating your pet. I also can’t stand fresh fish that have not bee ‘claeaned’ and cooked, especially in the fish market. Aargh!!! Make me wanna vomit only. I get nauseous if I go to the market and the smell of the fish is so strong and pungent! It’s minging especially the putrid smell of rotten fish and its ‘insides’. Eew!! Uwek!!!!!
So we got home around 8 something. By 8.30am I was already in bed, continuing my sleep. Sleepy la. Come on la, you guys know my bed time is like after 1am. I slept at 2am yesterday night bah. At 10.30 I got up and then we all went shopping at the mall. Bought a couple of things for some people & I got myself ‘pearl’ bracelets.
(Ooh…got to go. My dad wants to use the computer… hmm… I know. I’d just watch my new DVD box set la. My first box set. Hahaha… Prison Break. Wentworth’s such a hot jailbird! Hahaha… brb…)
Aaah… back once more. It’s 3.07am now. No. no. I didn’t watch the whole set la. I started at 10.30 plus and watched the first & second episode. The Pilot was 2 hours long bah… so finished around 1.30am. Then I kind of hung around d living room, walk up & down… disturb my sis… anyway, more about that later la.)
So anyway, as I was saying, I bought a couple of things to bring back to Kuching. Can’t wait to get back home. We’re leaving on Wednesday morning at 5.30am!! Or so I was told. Hahaha… about noon we went to pick my dad from the office then we went to Hua Ho Mall Manggis to have lunch. One of dad’s friend ‘belanja’ us lunch at the Emperor’s Court. My first time there. The Dim Sum’s not bad. Hey, Royal Brunei Catering 9RBCF) food, what do you expect? Kind of frustrating though, he said today is Friday so we won’t order meat. Haiya, my family isn’t THAT strict you know. Considering what a feast we had for dinner later on… Anyway, food not that great compared to Dim Sum. Then again, maybe because it lacked the taste/ ingredients of meat! Hahaha… I’m a ferocious meat eater! After lunch we went back and the whole household except for my dad (who went back to work because he’s got a meeting) had a nap. Fuyoo… letih gila man. I was so exhausted for I don’t know what reason and when mom woke me up at 5.30 I couldn’t get up. I was like trapped in this semi-conscious state for a while.

Thursday, July 27, 2006
I had a nervous breakdown. I'm never the one to bare my soul to anyone, especially not to my mom. Since I was a kid, I could never express my feelings or emotions out loud. Mom got freaked out I guess when I started to cry when I talked to her last night. You see, in my family, if I do cry it must be something really bad coz I am not the type than cry. I can get through 2 - 3 years without crying. no problem. So if I do cry, everyone would freak out. I guess it's been building up since my health is really screwed up, getting periods 2 a month, my skin all dried up & peeling, hair falling, feeling lethargic all the time & getting insomnia... It's just so bad & last night was the breaking point.
** Lots of heart baring, rants & complains from here on... If u get hurt from reading, terasa ke, ape ke, sorry la... not my problem. Siapa makan Cili terasa pedasnya lah!(Whoever ate the chilli tastes it's spiciness or hotness. -> direct translation
It was bad. Cried for nearly an hour! Was so bad, i finished a packet of tissues & probably half a box of tissues too. Mom had to sit with me & talked it out. Not really gonna say what it's all about. Let's just say all those months of keeping my emotions inside come out... kinda blew up like a volcano. Most about feeling betrayed by those I called 'friends' & 'family away from home'. Who am I kidding. They needed me more just to do stuffs for them, not to hang out with. I mean, it was apparent that they'll only call me up to say "Serena, I need you help.", "serena, can you help us to do this?", Serena this, Serena that. Don't mean to complain but how much of that could a person handle?
I know I would help them wilingly because I want to. I mean as friends we'd help each other & be there for each other right? Like I told my mom, the people I care for the most and did a lot for are the ones that hurt me the most. Who didn't know of the fall out with one of my closes friend in uni? When the person was sick, I cared for him/her (dun wanna say). No money, I lend. Homework not completed I helped. Helped to cover up hi/ her ass so many times. I bet the lecturer knew too. I know the fault isn['t mine. Coz I'm not the only one who isn't talking & keeping in touch with him/her.
Who are my REAL friends? I also don't know. The one people I REALLY REALLY know that are my friends are Jaja & Ai Ling my two best friends & Violet my childhood friend til now. Look at my 2 best friends, distance never really changed our friendship. Over the years they probably also have new best friends for all I know... Well, Jaja & I are close to Aishah, whi8ch is her other best friend but that's different. Ai Ling was once 'fought' over by me & another friend (well, everyone thought so too then) but se still remained friends. Violet & I haf been friends since we were 4, went to the same schools & chuch & then d same uni. There was once when there were some people who didn;t like me & kinda backstab me... she wa their friend too but it seems she is still my friend til now... I guess that's what i call a strong friendhip... and not letting out side ppl mess it up...
These few months the only few people from uni that had been in touch with me aren't those who I'm always seen with. No, they are friends who even though I never really hung out with still remember. SOme of them, I never really talk to much, just maybe a hi & bye or maybe some short conversation. that's all. When I go on MSN, 99.999999% of the time no one chats with me. Some really close friends, When I saw hi just ignore me... not once or twice but a few times. I get it. U just mean get lost la? No use to SMS people... no one would rep[ly anyway. Like I said before... waste of money only. I tried when I went down to Miri for my cousin's wedding, granduation & also church camp. 3 times. most of d people don't even reply!!
I know some one who I was close to asked me for help for something that day. I sill haf the SMS. Debating with myself if I shud do it. I mean, this person hurt me too... Maybe he didnt realise it or what but he did. Lots of time. I stuck up for him, I always defend him but as years gone by... everyone says he's using me to get things done. i dunno la. But if making decisions that includes me without consulting me isn't hurting me... I dunno la.
Like I told my mom, I guess the most hurt I get if from CV. is CV a volunteer group or a social club now? Don't get me wrong. I still love CV, it's like my baby. But as the baby grows up, he has no use of his mother already right? I'm sorry if anyone feels hurt by this but you guys must remember what is CV all about & what is that we are established to do. I know they are looking for a new Advisor now... Hope you get a good one. Just don't make decisions with out telling others... like electing a new president without telling the current one. I hope Debbie would be Advisor. If Debbie is the Advisor, i'm sure she knows how to handle things. I guess since Debbie left this started to get screwed up. Suddenly all the responsibilities fall on me & jae yet I tend to feel it's more on me. i dunno la. mayb coz I had to manage all the internal stuff... Seriously, Last year I had a breakdown too... They who saw it should remember la. but no one knew I had a slight mental breakdown too... I spent nearly a week at home, not talking to anyone, not meeting anyone. nearly drove me crazy. well kinda did since i started laughing alone when watching tv, talk to me teddies abt my problems... hahaha... Maybe Curtin DID make me go crazy! hahaha... I don't ever wanna count t-shirts again esp if it is in the hundreds... drive me crazy only! hahaha...
But i guess I feel better now... it's time to let go & look fowrd to the future. I told my mom, i'm reluctant to make new friends now coz i'm scared of being betrayed and hurt again. I mean all this while since I was in primary school, people always take advantage of me, step on my head, stb me in d back... really hurtful u know. Like Izzah said.. I'm too nice to people. maybe la, I dunno. I'm no saint. Of course I wanna hurt people. I mean, how many hours did I spend contemplating revenge? I dunno but I can bring myself to do it. I hurts me more just to think of it. I feel so guilty & bad if i did something wrong. I know I tend to speak before I think... but nit's just me. sometimes I feel so guilty just because i said sth & people get it the wrong way... But how can I protect everyone's feelings if i get hurt in d process?
I guess, I'm not cut out to b this out going social kinda person. I think I'm mde to be a loner. Like now. I mean, how many of my friends have I met these past 2 months ince graduation? I think only 1- Oja in church. Who else is there to meet? p[eople can forget so fast. they have their own lives to lead, new friends to hang out. yeah, i'm talking abt those people who lives in Brunei & promised to gimme a call & go out... I know I told Lina I wanna go out with her but I have no transport coz my parents have been travelling la... but others... I dunno & dun care. mom said let go & forget.
People said friends u make in uni r for life... i'll say friends u make in kindie & primary sch r d ones for life. Life in uni is superficial. u can be a different person altogether for God knows. Probably back home u r a nerd, in uni u r one cool dude... I dunno who to trust anymore. I never trust people but sometimes when u hang out a lot with certain people, u'll grow to trust them. People I trust, care for, look up to & think very high of are the ones that hurt me the more. When they stop calling, stop coming by & u don't c them around anymore... well it's time to let go & forget abt them. I dun wanna think abt them anymore... I feel like i wanna delete all their pics but it's memories.. Just cherish the memories & forget the hurt... time 2 move on...
Anyway, I don't know is this coincidence or fate or what ever... As I opened friendster I saw this Bulletin by Izzah... which truly refklects what I feel & have been going through...
They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis." It is when you
stop going along with the crowd and start realizing
that there are many things about yourself that you
didn't know and may not like.
You start feeling insecure and wonder where you
will be in a year or two, but then get scared
because you barely know where you are now.
You start realizing that people are selfish and that,
maybe, those friends that you thought you were so
close to aren't exactly the greatest people you
have ever met, and the people you have lost touch
with are some of the most important ones. What
you don't recognize is that they are realizing that
too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere
but that they are as confused as you.
You look at your job... and it is not even close to
what you thought you would be doing, or maybe
you are looking for a job and realizing that you are
going to have to start at the bottom and that scares
you.
Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what
others are doing and find yourself judging more
than usual because suddenly you realize that you
have certain boundaries in your life and are
constantly adding things to your list of what is
acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are
insecure and then the next, secure.
You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your
life. You feel alone and scared and confused.
Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and
cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize
that the past is drifting further and further away,
and there is nothing to do but stay where you are
or move forward.
You get your heart broken and wonder how
someone you loved could do such damage to you.
Or you lay in bed and wonder why you can't meet
anyone decent enough that you want to get to
know better. Or maybe you love someone but love
someone else too and cannot figure out why you
are doing this because you know that you aren't a
bad person.
You go through the same
emotions and questions over and over, and talk
with your friends about the same topics because
you cannot seem to make a decision.
You worry about loans, money, the future and
making a life for yourself...and while winning the
race would be great, right now you'd just like to be
a contender!
What you may not realize is that everyone reading
this relates to it. We are in our best of times and
our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to
figure this whole thing out.

*P/S: I'm sorry if I hurt anyone's feeling but I just had to let it out....Why am I saying sorry?? see, I am the one always to apologise but I never hear ppl say sorry to me!! Sheesh!

Read this.... I think what these lyrics say are true. Think about it.
C’MON LAH
(Norman/Yusry/Edry)
KRU Publishing Sdn Bhd
When was the last time you paid for a Malaysian movie
Or a music CD or if ever maybe…
Was it a pirated copy or illegal MP3
Cause the cinemas all look empty to me
Is it because everyone’s too busy
Fighting and voting on reality TV shows
Who’s better, Mawi or Jackie
And in awards shows, will anyone ever beat Miss Siti?
Who cares if she’s got something going on
With all these Datuks cause it’s a big yawn
A love saga or some courtroom drama
Yo, don’t be kaypo MYOB Joe
Haiya, why you want to fight-fight
Make noise some more
Make the blood go up
C’mon lah, we Malaysian what?!!
C’mon lah, together-gether mah
How to go far when we fight-fight
Make noise some more
Make the blood go up
C’mon lah, we Malaysian what?!!
C’mon lah, together-gether mah
Now pay attention sit down and listen
So why can’t we be obedient when no one’s watching us 24/7
Passing red lights in the middle of the night
What’s right is wrong, on the roads we become demons
Honks and fingers, abuses and sisters
That you force to stand and book your spot at the parking lot
Unless if you’re an AP king driving Ferraris
Hustlers will scratch your doors and nail your tyres
So which team do you support here?
Melaka, Pahang, Selangor or Johor?
Cause at the mamak stalls they watch the EPL scores
Maybe that’s why it’s hard for our national team to beat Singapore
Just think about it..just give it a chance coz we need it
There’s no one else in the world who cares if we don’t care at all
Just go on and on..and move on
Now everybody c’mon, Say ‘La-la-la..’
Haiya, why you want to fight-fight
Make noise some more
Make the blood go up
C’mon lah, we Malaysian what?!!
C’mon lah, together-gether mah
How to go far when we fight-fight
Make noise some more
Make the blood go up
C’mon lah, we Malaysian what?!!
C’mon lah, together-gether mah
Hey brutha..hey sista!
Too many wannabes in our Hip Hop community
Talking crap bout the ghetto, G thang and the rivalry
Talk the way you normally talk lah
You’re from KL, not an American rap star
What’s wrong with the honies wearing minis
Whether in the clubs or malls or streets in the cities
We make a big deal about the little things in life
On the differences rather than the similarities alike
Just chill, be cool with each other
After all there’s no one out there gonna do us this favour
Stop the slacking, dissin’, slammin’ and moanin’
Cause we’re brothers and sisters, now everybody sing
Haiya, why you want to fight-fight
Make noise some more
Make the blood go up
C’mon lah, we Malaysian what?!!
C’mon lah, together-gether mah
How to go far when we fight-fight
Make noise some more
Make the blood go up
C’mon lah, we Malaysian what?!!
C’mon lah, together-gether mah
Yaay!! Italy won!! hahahaha... I told you so! Well, it IS the Year of the Dog! hahaha... sorry France. next time. Let's see if Italy or Brazil will win in 12 years' time. hehe... I should have bet man. Would have won heaps of money. Now so broke la. hahahah... Ciao!

Current Annoyance: boredom
Current Obsession: blogging, insaniquarium, singingfool.com
Seriously, I dunno why I'm blogging since thr's nothing to blog abt today. Slept around 4am, woke up around 2.45pm! hehehe.. what a slob. mum din wake me up wat! watched cartoons til.. i dunno... dinner time. then played insaniquarium, singing out of tune wid my sis.
Seriously, she drove me off key thrying to sing an english song in its original malay wordings! And she was listening to d english version on her headphones! shessh! dunno d title but it's Siti's Aku Cinta Padamu covered by a band called North. d cd is full of cover versions man! Malay to english, Chinese to english... That's wat u get fr an Aussie band signed to local (Malaysian) record company. Cover versions coz not many ppl here can write good english pop songs. POP not INDIE ok. So far, the best POP songs dat i actually enjoy r from KRU only la.. hehehe... KRU fanatic but that's besides d point. most of the singers r kinda fake la. hehehe... esp d one dat had a problem wid KRU.
Anyway... after i played insaniwquarium i changed my bedsheets & made my bed (at 9.30pm! hahaha) then did mom's bed after i put on d pillowcases on her pillows. the back to insaniquarium then online la... when everyone's asleep! hehehe... ~hmm.. wonder how many shells has my snail collected in my insaniquarium screensaver... hmmm~
anyway, i had a nice surprise to know at least ONE person read this- my cousin fiona in kl! Miss her la. Last saw her... erm... 2 years ago? 2nd cousin who i just got to know off when we were in curtin. Mom's her dad's cousin (grandpa was her grandma's bro). I miss Fifi... my "Personal Assistant" when i was acting in rachel's movie. hehehe... carry my phone, my water, tissue & segala-gala dat i din need when shooting! hehehe... actually she came to support us only la but helped around. Then laugh so hard when i accidentally fell in d bushes! Well, the actually used dat footage anyway! Tho I had to fall again d second time but the first was unplanned & crazy! and to make things worse, I was wearing a skirt & high heels!! hahaha.. it wasn't in d script. supposed to duck as if i fainted but i really fell into d bush coz i backed up into the curb! hahaha... had a nice "Seryna-sized" space in it for a week! hahaha... & to my horror... a few days later i discovered dat if i fell a feet or so further, my head wud haf hit a piece of wood wid a nail sticking out of it! Aaargh!!!!!!!!!! I found it when i was showing my frens d place i fell! Thank God I was ok. A brush wid death! That's not as scary s d one i really cud haf died but i'll blog it another time... freaks me out when i think of it. Mom freaked out when i finally told her... like almost 2 years after it happened.
ok ok... gotta sleep. it's 3.38am again. shesh! late nite quite common these days for me... not even watching footie now... coz England & Brazil's out! BUT gonna watch finals la! Go Italy!! read my previous post & know why i support Italy la hehehe... Oh yeah, I better transfer d pics I took when we had ice cream buffet! hehehe... get some fr my bro too then put it online. hehehe... 6 ice creams! cant believe it... no wonder my sore throat now.

Current Obsession: Pop Cap Games
Sigh... I've just changed the layout again. to something esier to read, bigger space to blog. Kinda annoying to know that no one actually reads all my rants but u know, i just need to get this out. It's been ages since I've blogged regularly. Most regular was abt 2 years or so ago when I had this dreadful crush on a guy i nicknamed Sunshine. hehehe... sad man. Now he's back where he belongs, and moved on with his life. Think probably forgot his friends here la.. dunno eh. i'm not the one to keep in touch. It'll be a bit odd innit if I suddenly email him? Bet he blocked my MSN by now. Kinda pissed my fren lost his new number but what the hell! I'm not gonna SMS him kan? weird! waste my money nya if since he prob wont reply. Bet he dunno who I am anymore la. Sheesh!
Wei.. why suddenly talk abt him one. weird. Hmm... talking abt weird. Been having weird dreams. Few nites ago I dream I was roommates with HER in this thingy we had to attend. It's so weird. it's like a bunch of us (I think the whole Faculty of media) went to some sort of hotel or sth and we had some sort o9f conference then exams...something like final exams coz Curtin's so damn full, there's no place to have our exam. To cut d story short, SHE was my room mate and tortured me so much. Seriously, i can feel the pain it caused inside to be tortured by HER. Weird one. One time she was so me she sat on my books or file or bag... something like dat then she jump up & do9wn to squash it! Aiyoyo... scary man! I mean, we've not been in touch for month and I've tried to put the past behind & suddenly I dream of her torturing me. Sheesh!
Oh yeah, to make things weirder, I was kinda starved coz someone (i dunno who) was trying to starve me (to death, kot! mana la I tahu?). then there was some kinda locker room/showers in d place & i sneaked in. the weird thing was, it's d guys' locker room & my guy frens helped me. funny, these guys i only got to know during d Media conference thingy in February this year. Juniors la. then they gave me their lo9cker keys and got lots of food there! hahaha... the jaga outside so no1 came in. the got weird werewolf kinda sound outside d building! ish! think too much! I think i'm mentally stressed dat's why dream of weird stuffs! (Chaotic finish liaw! din even watch it!)
Then this morning (Tuesday) I dream dat i went to McFly's concert & 4 of us fans got chosen 2 b on stage with them. The weird thing was, TOM was playing keyboard instead of guitar!! hahaha... and I played tambourine next to him! heheheh... funny!! It's all baloney! then got weird happenings in d dream also but can vaguely remember... hehehe...
eh, gtg la. I need sleep. Kinda been complaining not enough sleep but it's my fault since i've been online nearly every night or playing Insaniquarium! hahahah... Rite, gtg.
P/S: Sorry for the spelling serrors. I'm sleepy la!

Eh, I heard on radio abt more than a week ago that in the Year of the Dog, ONLY Brazil & Italy had ever won... hence I'm supporting Italy now since Brazil's out. Actually it was Italy (1934), no World cup in 1946 coz of WW II, Brazil (1958), Brazil (1970) Italy (182), Brazil (1994) and so I guess this might be Italy's year. I hope! Got this from FIFA World Cup on Wikipedia.
Ok... change topic. u know wat I did today wid my family? We went for this Ice-cream buffet in town!! hahaha... B$1.50 per person & eat as much ice-cream as u want! Damn, we only reached there abt 5.30pm & it ends at 6pm! But... I had a record of 6, yes, SIX ice-creams! hahaha... gonna post d pics up when i get the chance. Prob tmrw or so. hehehe... nuts man. now my gums r so sore & got sre throat! hahaha... previously my record was 5 ice creams but in 1 hr. Now it's 6 ice creams in 1/2 hr!! hahahaa... Sh*t la, make me get fatter nya. hahaha.... & ruin my appetite. But who cares... I had ice cream man! for free!p[robably had about B$6- B$10 worth of ice cream meaning... abt between RM12-20 worth of ice cream! Unbelievable!! hahaha..
Talking abt gorging myself with ice cream (mom had 5 ok..), i found this link on my sis's blog. Surprise, surprise... I'm not as greedy or glutton as I thought I'd be after the ice cream gorging... then again... most of the questions don't apply to my current situation. duh. I'm jobless & relationship-less la! but being a sloth! gosh! I dun work remember... of course i sleep til noon! I only have to wake up then to cook lunch & do laundry la! if mom isn't working mornings, I'll only wake up when it's lunch time. duh! And since when I'm so damn proud & angry eh? Envy shud b higher than pride & lust... shud b 0 since it doesn't apply. Anyway... what it is:

K... without further delay...
What is Formula One?
Formula One, abbreviated to F1, and also known as Grand Prix racing, is the highest class of single-seat open-wheel formula auto racing in the world. The "formula" in the name is a set of rules which all participants and cars must meet. The F1 season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held in most cases on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets. The results of each race combined determine two annual World Championships, one for drivers and one for constructors. The cars race at speeds often in excess of 300 km/h (187 mph).
The formula introduces a number of restrictions and specifications that cars must meet, designed, amongst other things, to keep the ever-increasing cornering speeds in safe ranges. For 2006[1] engines were reduced to normally-aspirated V8s with a displacement (capacity) of 2.4 litres (providing around 800 bhp [559 kW] at nearly 20,000 rpm). The performance of the cars is highly dependent on electronics, aerodynamics, suspension and tyres.
The formula has seen many evolutions and changes through the history of the sport. There have been many different types of engines; normally aspirated, supercharged and turbocharged, ranging from straight-4 to H16, with displacements from 1.5 litres to 4.5 litres. The maximum power achieved in the history of the series was around 1200 bhp in racing trim, during the 1980s turbo era.
Europe is Formula One's traditional centre and remains its leading market; however, Grands Prix have been held all over the world, and with new races in Bahrain, China, Malaysia and Turkey since 1999, its scope is continually expanding. As the world's most expensive sport, its economic impact is significant, and its financial and political battles are widely observed. Its high profile and popularity makes it an obvious merchandising environment which leads to very high investments from sponsors translating into extremely high monetary budgets for the constructor teams, however, in recent years several teams have gone bankrupt.
The sport is regulated by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), with its headquarters in Place de la Concorde, Paris. Its President is Max Mosley. Formula One's commercial rights are vested in the Formula One Group, now owned by Alpha Prema. Although now a minority shareholder, the sport is still generally promoted and controlled by Bernie Ecclestone.

Current Mood: sleepy but insomniac
Current Colour: blue!
Current Music: the hum of the computer
Current Obsession: I didn't know insaniquarium got so many bonus levels!
Okay, i wrote this like an hour ago when my sis wanted to use the line... (Trivia is below)
Today was kinda an unusual day... First it rained cats & dog... but on & off! One minute i'd been looking at the clear sky & loading the wahing machine, the next minute it rained! then when i was half was cooking lunch, it stopped. then when I had lunch it started again! Aaargh!!! I barely could hang the wet clothes! Anyway, after lunch I managed to rush doing the dishes, finish 1 load of laundry, hang them, start another load of laundry, mop the kitchen floor and showered within 1 hour!
Why did I rush to do that in 1 hour? Coz at 2pm I followed my dad to his office to do some work. Kinda to help him out la coz the had some kinda talk/semi8nar/ whatever kinda session the whole day. What did I do? I design a few samples of car passes for the church members! hahaha... yeah, the church is under demolition now for reconstruction. However we still have church services at the parish hall. The passes are for car that dropping off th elderly or for wardens or musicians to load their stuffs... really, this kinda sound complecated to u all izzit? Nah, we just use the other gate ajoining the flat next door but since they've got security guards there, so need passes la. Of course I didn't do that only la.. I made registration forms too! hahaha... actually the initial passes took me about 10 mi8nutes to9 make nya... but then i modified la. Haiya, nothing much la. Just utilising what I learned from My days as a CV-ian (Curtin Volunteers la) and SOAR Advisor. Sorry to say, didn't actually learn much as Student Ambassador.. Most of it I've learned as a SOAR and the rest was biasa la... work behind the counter in the office. hell though coz the other students think we haf 10 hands and can work really fast & know evrything and correct everything even if it's their mistake. hahaha... anyways, that's just crapping about the Good Old Days...
Talking abt CV... Sadly, we've been inform that Abel our Advisor is no longer working in Curtin. Daryll, did you send the email to me by mistake? Anyway, all the best for CV as they now seek for a new Advisor to lead them. I'm sure Daryll and the CV-ians especially the EX-COs would get another dynamic leader to lead them as Advisor. hehehe...Sorry ya, I can't do anything since I'm only th Ex-Officio... hehehe...But whatever problems that exists, I'm sure there are ways to solve it. Been there, done that. Still remember the days when only 3 of us ladies ran CV with a little help from our friends and Abel... Well, CV wasn't exactly started by 3 of us, as the story usually goes. It was 5 of us but only 3 of us remained active in CV up to the day of our 1st major event- Beach Cleaning. And the rest is history.. hmm.. some day I gotta put some of the pics up...
The next year I was put as Event co-ordinator... not that i wanted it but as we were delegating jobs and positions to our first real committee, I was some how left out & suddenly Abel said "Serena, you be the Event Coordinator." Terkejut beruk, dek! Working with the first ever committee was fun, exciting & challenging. Those guy & girls were all friends of our... in fact, we ended being the First family la... SAmeen was the dad & I was 1st wife, my cousin Fiona was 2nd, president Debbie was 3rd, then there was Barke etc.. yeah, there were 'kids', in-laws, grandkids, great grandkids... etc. Don't be surprise u hear ppl calling me grandma or popo or auntie! hahaha...
I love those days & I love u all! hahaha... back then I was way thinner, had a massive crush on some hottie in uni (hehehe... Sunshine. Dunno he remember I'm alive or not), busy juggling my studies & CV, etc etc.. I stil remember walking to uni on a scorching hot Sunday afternoon (2pm!) in black slack, black top & high heels! hahaha... back then I lived further down from where I lived for the last 2 years.. walked there copz there's no bus & I had to got o uni to make sure everything has been se up, kinda have a briefing to my friends and watch footie! hahaha... Managed to bump into the pillar watch some guy! hahaha... even curi curi go to the hostel to change my clothes then emerge to watch the football match & cuci mata! hehehe... Got la something happened 2 days before that... I love rainy days!! hahaha... ;p ;p ade la...
Sigh... how time has passed! 3 years worr!! so long ago!! now getting older la... Kinda bored a lot these days coz lack of things to do. Hmm... John did ask me to9 help with some things tho... hmmm... need to crack my brains to get those info bro... Anyway, enough of reminising (betul ka spelling?), back to business...
