Hmm.. whoever wanna know la.. I might not b online these few days (unless I really HAVE TO coz I'm ADDICTED) coz I will be busy this weekend.

Tmrw, I mean, today (Saturday) I'm going down to Miri wid my dad for a funeral. My dad's cou7sin who he grew up with just passed away today. he was d owner of Base Camp, d eating place next to CB & Coco's opposite Sultana. His sons run it now. Gonna miss him and his jolly personality. Though I'm not that close to him, he is kinda part of shaping me as who I am. Know why? Coz of him I never dare to go to CB & coz of dat I din end up getting addicted to clu7bbing & drink (probably would haf if I went coz I'm addicted to having addictions. Go figure. I'm complicated). Plus, I would have gone to meet 'someone' there when he SMS me to meet him. Thanks uncle, coz my heart would haf be broken by dat guy. Plus I got some cooking tips fr d shop too.. hehehe.. I make aweseome french fries now. "Secret recipe". God bless hi8s soul.

Anyway, coming back in d afternoon after d church service then going to the Tattoo thingy. not d one whr ppl draw/ink their skins. It's some kinda military exhibition/ show kinda thingy. would definitely blog abt this (eventho no one reads, at least i can inform Fifi abt it rite?).

Sunday morning abt 6am if not 5am d family wud b going to Limbang coz my dad haf to take this weddoing seminar service thingy whr couples renew their vows (if they had married in church) or have their marriage blessed in church (if they had cicil marriage in d court thingy gummy or a long hse traditional marriage). There are so many ways to get married in Sarawak u know, no need to have "love chapels' or 'Elvis chapels' to elope to! hahaha... anyway it's gonna be a day trip too coz coming ho9me at night as my siblings have school & my mom has to work (dad's day off is on Mondays coz he work on Sundays! duh!)

Anyway... gonna some sort of jet setting lifestyle, just that I'll be travelling by car! hahaha...

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!

Vivendo la vita pazzesca! VIVA ITALIA!!!

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 Annoyance: mummy keeps on bugging me abt gettinga job & what jobs i shud do & when & why and how & etc... F**k it! Sick of this conversation la! everytime quarrel one
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!

K... U know how i feel abt my annoyance. malas la blog abt what I feel anymore. Just sum it up as me having a bad weekend. I guess now I'm supporting Italy 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:



Greed:Very Low
Gluttony:Low
Wrath:Medium
Sloth:High
Envy:Low
Lust:Very Low
Pride:Medium




Take the Seven Deadly Sins Quiz

Anyway.. as crap as it is, I'm going to bed now.

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.
