Till There Was You

I just realized the excitement of blogging and truly miss it,

but I will write more.

Maybe tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow.

It has been a while since these fingers last danced on the slippery keyboard. It requires some training and warming up.

Don't Stop Believing

I have been heavily occupied with Glee Flashmob Dance : KL Chapter by Random Alphabets.

It makes me happy, at least. =)



Its going to happen this Saturday.




Time: 2pm.



Location: Unknown.



Keep yourself updated on www.gleeflashmobdance.com.my.

Its gonna be hellotafun!

Come and watch me dance!

Flying Without Wings

As I've promised.

Click on the link to support my cause, Yayasan Anak Warisan Alam, an Eco Youth Trust for the KL-Standard Chartered Run. A total of RM500 is required for me for this pledge, and donations can vary from whatever amount you desire.

[CLICK Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2010 - Users HERE]

=)

I love you all and promise to at least treat each one who donated a cup of teh tarik.

How about that?

Runaway Train

I told you I suck at writing in BM. At least I'm being honest on this.

I want to run the Standard Chartered Marathon. The thing is last year when the college had a marathon, I ran 10km and got fever after that. But then again, that was when H1N1 was in season.

Now, I would want to run, for a cause. At least its more meaningful isn't it?

Regardless if its for Yayasan Anak Warisan Alam, National Cancer Society or Malaysian Aids Council I would indefinitely pledge for a cause.

But then again, I haven't even registered. I'm not sure how far I can go on this. 10km, 21km or 42km?

I have about 66 days to train!

And just to let you know, running for a charity would need me to fundraise minimum of RM500 therefore I sincerely appreciate any form of donations directly towards the marathon profile website. Will keep everyone updated on the methods on donation, if you love me enough to give some donations through your credit, debit or even online banking transfer.

The Long Goodbye

Saya dah janji nak karang dalam BM kan? Jadi saya tulis dalam BM sekarang.

Baik tulis sekarang, nanti lupa. Dah la malas. Suka tangguh lagi. Aduhai.

2-3 hari ni sangat sibuk tak tahu la kenapa.

Hari Jumaat pegi cari kerja teringin nak jadi Barista padahal poket semakin kering jadi perlu plan B sebab tak nak susah mak dan bapak.

Hari Sabtu malam pegi tengok Konsert Akademi Fantasia dengan sepupu sebab dia nak belanja. Ikut saja lah sebab saya bukan selalu berlepak dengan saudara sendiri jarang-jarang sekali. Tak la hebat sangat konsert tu sebab bosan gila. Saya tak minat AF langsung, tapi sebab suka pegi tengok persembahan live, nak amik feel semata-mata.

Banyak pulak orang pelangi kat situ. Biasa la kot?

Hari Ahad rushing pegi jumpa Timbalan Setiausaha Dalam Negara Hal Ehwal Kebudayaan dan Pendidikan USA di The Ritz Residence. Orangnya kecik dan comey saja nama Ms Pally. Orang kuat Clinton. Kalau keluarga angkat di Oklahoma tahu mesti semacam mereka fikir sebab mereka orang kuat Parti Republikan. Tak apa lah, sebab ini untuk kepentingan alumni sendiri. Ms Pally pun cakap, alumni kami jadi model alumni dunia. Maknanya, lepas ni kena la lebih komited dan tak boleh main-main saja. Kena banyak buat aktiviti dengan lebih baik sebab jadi contoh alumni lain.

Hari Isnin makan malam di The Royale Chulan. Di layan hebat macam VIP sama dengan alumni program lain yang penah ke USA. Seronok dapat becakap, sebab bila saya bukak mulut banyak idea keluar. Kepala otak sentiasa berpusing pikir benda nak buat dalam komuniti. Contoh, hujung minggu ni ada Global Youth Service Day jadi kami pegi Rumah Anak Yatim buat Program Perkaya Bahasa Inggeris, lepas tu hari Ahad pegi Rumah Pelindungan Gadis Mengandung Bawah Umur derma pakaian.

Seronok tolong orang walau tak dapat untung atau duit. Yang penting orang lain dapat kebaikan. Ni semua kerja ramai-ramai dengan ahli alumni jugak.

Sayang sebab kat Bolehland orang ramai penting diri kalau benda tu tak bawak balik duit orang tak nak buat tapi saya seronok saja buat walau poket saya sentiasa kering.

Sekarang saya membujang balik. Awal-awal hari tu ada main-main cheenta sikit tapi tak menjadi. Entah la, mungkin saya tak pandai. Tak ada pengalaman.

Sebab tu saya suka buat aktiviti sukarela ni. Alih perhatian dari benda-benda yang menyakit hati.

Ha. Kan dah cakap saya tak pandai tulis dalam BM. Dulu masa kelas tuisyen saya cemerlang bila SPM haprak je dapat.

Mesti semua bosan baca. Tak paham sepatah harem saya tulis.

Harap maaf. Selamat malam semua.

Me, Myself and I

Its been a week since, or so since I last wrote stuff.

The entire week has been terribly busy starting off with Trisha's birthday in Sunway Lagoon. It was practically fun although it was very much costly. However, it was really worth it. We had great dinner at Manhattan Fish Market which was absolutely my first time ever and it was on her therefore it wasn't that bad considering I'm getting heavily broken by each second I breathe. Speaking of which, the new fan page I joined in Facebook, I do really wish money would have sex in my pocket and multiply.

On the same night I rushed to Bandaraya to Quality Hotel for a camp training. It was fun to meet up with the favorite people on earth and mingle around with all the educational stuff in between but overall it was fun, fun and fun.

The entire week seemed more like a waste as college was tiring and the new f-up system, is just f-up-ed. The college decided to auto register its new students. And therefore, they decided to register me on courses I have exempted. With the faculty having almost 400 students or so, I wish the best of luck to the staff.

And I sincerely thank God for my results. 6 subjects, and with playfulness in between I have no idea how I made it. Perhaps the never ending coffee misery helped much.

Thats all for now. My eyeballs are about to pop out. And I am hungry.

I will write more about my first ever Akademi Fantasia concert experience. Seriously, I knew none of the contestant as I never liked the show at the first place. Drama, much?

The Burning Babe

This is my 155th post.

No, I don't seek popularity like those who'd announce their blog anniversary. Monkeys With Tarter Sauce came a long way since space.live.com online journal. That was like in 2005 when I was actively writing about my Egyptian Adventure as an exchange student for 2-months.

The name it self came about from a special online friend whom I've known since 2002 and we're still friends until now.

Even so, there are readers for my blog. Its a personal space and I never expect frequent and regular readers therefore I sincerely thank you for being interested with my forever, never-ending miserable adventurous life stories.

Never mind that. I'm back in college. I have so many things to do in my room. Those who are friends with me in Facebook may have seen the terrible destruction of my room. Its big mess.

Need to clean up.

Tomorrow is going to be a short day and Friday, I will hit Sunway Lagoon for the first time ever for Trisha's birthday.

Weekend would be filled with volunteers' training program.

Seems like my holiday is really ending now!

Yikes.

The Scientist

I told you I suck at writing in BM. I can only speak, but I sound stupid writing in one.

Anyway, I'm supposed to write about the adventure to Tioman. It was a terrible mess, on going there itself.

On Thursday, April March 25th, I went out with Colin who just came back for Spring Break/Easter Holiday from Deutschland. We hung out in Pavilion and since its been a while there was so much to catch up. Amazingly, I was punctual which is is the total opposite since he now studies in a country where you'd never be forgiven for being late.

We had lunch in Food Republic and then just wandered around into the mall, and having both of us being conscious about our money (he is extremely frugal than me) we just window shopped for the most part of the day.

It all changed when we entered Cotton On. Everything was too cheap for a regular Topman/Zara standard.

A really good price, seriously.

To get the cash was another challenge. I was unprepared to shop. We headed to the atm next to Starbucks and the security guys were getting some cash in and technical stuff was going on. The one downstairs was not working.

Device Failure.

Damn you CIMB.

Off we went around to walk and walk before I got myself the slip in shoe.

We than hung out at the Starbucks just because he never experience the only reason why and what people do there.

We got bored then, walked all the way to KLCC and hung out to continue the gossips, and then headed to Kinokuniya before hopping on the next train home.

I'm not writing the entire journey of the day, as much as I used to enjoy telling the world about my dailies, but I shall conclude it was a great day with a very old friend. We hardly talk sometimes, and getting others of the gang to come along was not easy on weekdays so i'm happy everything went well.

Can't wait for other meet ups, coffee dates, plane-watching with other friends.

=)

Honey Bee

I am a big time procrastinator.

I won some tickets over Twitter contest. =)

And a big forehead too. Orang tua-tua cakap, kalau dahi luas orangnya pandai. Haha.. I doubt it.

This photo bunch are more excited than the other bunch =P

Now that I am home, I just eat and sleep. And do stuff. I'm really bored, so if you happen to be in Penang, jom lepak pekena nasi kandaq!

Anyway, I shall remind myself to write up about the Tioman-Chaotic-Avventura and stuff..

Fire

I was here over the weekend.

And this photo is not mine. Will substitute it later.

Being a naturally dark person, I turn even darker. I was bragging about never getting sun burn. I guess I'm getting it now.

I had a major crisis to go there. Thanks to a fellow blogger, who is a close friend, helped me out on the way.

Love you buddy. I owe you big time.

Just You And Me

Call me a fan, a die hard one maybe? Well, if I ever get to meet Mika, I promise not to update my facebook, or even deactivate it. Its crazy!

She is genuinely adorable and bubbly in person. And humble too. Not those diva-like artist. After all, she started as Indie, no?

Be jealous now, after 3 hours waiting for the concert on Saturday, and 2 hours waiting in line for the autograph, meet and greet sessions on Tuesday.

Colin is back from Deutschland, and we are going to meet up tomorrow. Then on Friday morning, I leave to Tioman.

Whee~

Thanks to the big hair on my head, I probably will be featured in Air Asia in flight magazine and Life in KL blog. (flyfreak, take note. i know you regularly read me when we don't regularly talk as much. please snatch a copy. pretty puhleassee! =])

Big Big World

Perhaps I shall not work with the call center, considering even if its a part time job working hour is from 9am until 6pm. And worse, you get paid only with successful interviews a month and half later.

I think I shall go for the barista, knowing the fact in recent semester Branding class most assignments were Starbucks related and also the fact that I love saying the favorite Starbucks sophistication mantra.. why not?

Zee Avi concert was ultimatum fun. Its too bad I didn't get to go to Kings of Convenience concert though.

Travel bug is back, and this is the only semester I am so broken, and not traveling abroad.

Or I may just.

This weekend, I will be heading to Tioman for a class trip and then back home to my very own greatest island of scrumplicious food. When I get back to the city, I might head down south of the country to visit a close friend, and perhaps hop into the country next to it.

My passport is expiring soon, I just need some new stamps to fill the passport.

I just told another friend the wackiest reason to get a job.

Me: I need a job.

Cheryl: Yeah, you really will fit best for the job since you love coffee and all!

Me: No, seriously. I need to get a job because I need to get a Marc Jacob bag.

Cheryl: *Laugh out loud* Yes, people need a job to earn for a living. You need a job to get a Marc Jacob bag. *Laugh even more*

I'm really that crazy, huh.

I regularly go to the airport to watch plane. And this is really random.

I'm kinda broke until I get my study loan pocket money, which is forever slow.

And the Starbucks mantra is; "Caramel Macchiato, Cold, Less Ice, Triple Shot with Soy Milk".

Kantoi

The concert is uber amazing.

Who would have knew, a typical indie gig, turned into full house crowd concert?

Its amazing.

Had great time with friends, who are like from secondary school, college, AFS and blogger together. We even hung out together at Starbucks Pavilion later on. I never knew that my friends can get along well with one another, even if they never knew one another in the beginning. Why am I saying such? Because some friends, back then just don't get along well with one another back then..

Anyway..

Gotta love her.

I'm out of voice, for screaming out loud. I bought 4 tickets and won a Twitter contest which comes with 2 tix and a CD. Too bad, at the very end, I had an extra 1 tix.

Its an amazing performance, irregardless.

Anyhow..

So, next time, friends, whatever you are, whoever you are, wherever you come from, we shall hang out and spend some quality time, ok?

Papercut

I need paper. I'm out of those Double A supply.

I got a job offer at a market research call center. I used to work at one, around Maybank Tower. However, it has moved to BU. Now this new one is offering, but slightly lower pay per hour. The previous one was the highest paid call center per hour.

Need to pause on Barista dream.

Need to print resume too. I should've printed a few, but then again the resume gets updated ever so frequently.

Why am I out of paper now?

I need to print tickets to Zee Avi concert tomorrow night. I bought 4 tickets. And I just won another 2 over Twitter contest.

Gotta love my Tweetdeck.

I've bloghopped a bit more, rather slowly. I realized that my post Labels are too regularly on Complication(s), and I should stop making things complicated.

Gong Xi Fa Chai!

Gong Xi Fa Chai!

Have a prosperous new year ahead!

L.O.V.E.

Amazingly, I have not been writing much as I wanted too. Too many things happened in a single month and not all are necessary to be told to the world, or rather just mere gibberish whine.

Oh, remember my lost Nike flip-flops? Its home now. Someone put it right outside my room on Sunday morning and when I was back on Saturday the day before there was nothing. Perhaps the curse I made upon the thief worked?

I have 2 pair of these Nike and 4 pairs of Old Navy (which cost US$5 for 2)

Anyway, the last 3 weeks were filled with forever never ending assignments plus with a teaspoon of procrastination everything just worked too well to the point where I do not exactly get enough sleep.

Also, January became the month of non spending which I therefore did not enter Topman and Zara after December 31st purchases. However, the money cumulated was not enough to last me to the end of the month and I still do not understand where it went missing. Airport run, perhaps? I had to take several taxi rides too due to the hopeless shuttle bus around. Each taxi ride cost 10 bucks.. so imagine 2 rides already can be pain in the hole of the pocket, no?

I have made few new friends over the month and the networking seemed to be very interesting variety. Also, I have new buddies to just talk to. I'm a happy Gilmore, really. Facebook and some other social networking sites seemed to be finally useful. Games are forever addictive too on Facebook. Damn. Aside from being really tired and annoyed with the slow load of Farmville, I still could not compete on Virtual Flights. Perhaps its time to just stick to Airline Manager?

Pfft. I dislike the warm weather. I miss those 2 weeks in December when it just rained and drizzle nonstop for 2-weeks.

And yes, the title has hidden meaning. Nothing to decrypt, but just a possibility.

=)

Seven Days Without You

I rather seemed to be enjoying my days much better than those horrendous endings of 2009. New Year's Eve was something I had great deal of fun as I was dreadfully almost had an empty night alone but I crashed over a friend's party which ended up becoming sleepover with a bunch of crazy friends.

The week passed so quick and its already a week of 2010. Nevermind the tragic assignments that seemed more like a never ending misery as that can be another series of unfortunate events, but heck, I had a great week too.

Besides sleeping over at the airport on the benches waiting to bid farewell to a dear friend who left early morning next day, the most recent weekdays of 2010 is really just amazing.

As much as I hate to sweat and walking under the hot sun, I actually sacrificed myself for the kind of things I enjoyed doing. You know, I'm the kind of person who would do anything to get what I want, need or whatever may be presented in that category. I wouldn't want to divulge into details but Tuesday, January 5th was amazing and Wednesday January 6th is fantastic.

Its something non-academic, which I humbly enjoyed. Nevermind the details, only those who have been affected will understand.

2-weeks since I last went to the gym. I feel fat.

Yikes. Before heading to bed last night I planned to do laundry and the moment I woke up it was raining cats and dogs.

Auld Lang Syne

To those who wishes their condolences, I thank you. I was not deeply affected by the situation but nevertheless, a long-distance-never-met-cousins-twice-removed is still a relative anyway.



The weekend trip to home is too short although some latest Facebook photo updates seemed entertaining, however, I lost my wallet again. Same year, lost another IC, driving license, ATM cards, debit card, Isetan, Jusco, Genting, Starbucks etc etc.

I still feel like crap.


I have no plans for new year and I so hope to have something good to kick in. Call me, or hunt me over Facebook if you do want me to be around you for new year instead of sleeping in through the night..

I'm going to end the tragic and adventurous 2009 for good and have better kickstart for 2010.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

I'm lazy. I have 3 more assignments due before holiday starts. Procrastination extraordinaire on the rise!

Doomed.

I've been watching this at least 10 times. I think you should watch this.

Monday, Monday

I can't believe how fast time ran away from me. Just a week ago I was in Singapore, and now I'm running behind deadlines for assignment. Damn.

Brittany Murphy just died, while Perez Hilton going hoo-haa because Brittany hubby don't want any autopsy. Poor child. She is one of the few fun people you like to see on movies as much as you can. Something like the kind of blonde-material yet fun and naturally joy and hyper.

Remember Uptown Girl? The nanny in it was her.

Singapore has been so much fun. Mustafa, my online buddy for the past few years was an awesome host. He was over in KL for a night after a 3-day holiday trip with his family in Cameron Highland. Apparently his parents is so much hip too. They may look like some typical Pak Cik and Mak Cik but they are beyond that stereotype. Instead of fussing over no accommodation for a night before departing home they deliberately hobo-ed in the airport. Cool or not? Family too, can hobo around like backpackers!

Well I met up with him on Friday because I left my mini-wallet in his bag. I was without my ATMs, gym card and IC for about a week. Thank god we are in neighboring country! I only noticed not having it with me when I was at Tanah Merah MRT interchange, and its already the last train that night to the airport from Clementi. The ride took about an hour and going back to his place means I would miss my flight the next morning. Well, stupidly Air Asia was delayed then for an hour.

I got a haircut which went horrible right after I arrived in Sentral on Monday from the airport. The she-dude cut the wrong way. Let it be another lesson, to only get a haircut from someone with the same hairstyle or at least in her 40s. The only reason I got a haircut that day was because I was about to meet Special Representative for Muslim Committee for a special meeting with YES alumni and other delegates at MACEE.

The week ran away from me literally. Saturday was a fun day, with AFS people we had Christmas Party. No elaboration is required because its the kind of day where everyone laugh and joyed.

I'm waiting for my laundry to be done. The dryer is not functioning and the sun is not shining.

Bleh.

P/S: to Mud, kalau hang mau chek belanja tengok Muallaf, jom. Seriously. Pastu makan char kuey teow. Nak tak? Hang ja dapat menda ni semua tau. =D
