I am not a persistent person. I vowed that I would constantly update this personal site of mine but I did not. I abandoned it many times. I was at the verge of giving this up, but, the amount of time spent creating this blog would be wasted, and I didn't want that. (I am a technical idiot, so customizing this was a pain in the ass!!)
Ok, enough with that. I am back but this time, I will not promise constant updates, because I don't really have the time and energy to do so...
So, what have I been up to?
Work.
I am now interning in Ogilvy & Mather Advertising and I am placed under Project Management Unit. I am so lucky to get a great bunch of colleagues who help me so so much along the way. I believe this would turn into lifetime friendships. :)
Enough about work, because it's boring...!
I feel really weird recently, without knowing the reasons. Is it because of hormonal imbalance? I don't know. Maybe. One day I would be so ecstatic and the next I would be down in the dumps. Isn't it crazy?
I found out something and this is the thing that keeps me going on everyday. I am not as useless as I think. I found out about this when I started interning here... ^_^ I am capable and I learn fast. This is something that I didn't know, or rather, didn't believe. When one feels that one is worthless, one will not be happy because there is no goal in one's life, and that person would be drifted further apart from success, or happiness. Thank god this did not happen to me. I found my strengths and weaknesses. But I know I can go further... and I will try to build up more confidence in myself to face upcoming challenges. I hope that I will be able to overcome them calmly... *keeping my fingers crossed*
This post is going nowhere... I just felt like writing something... Random, I know.
Friends, I know I have been missing in action for a while. I am so so sorry. I promise I will make it up to you guys ya.... Love ya!
And lastly, my daddy surprised me with a phone call today. He called just to ask about my interview with Milestone. He has never done this before, I mean, he has never asked me anything about my career or studies before... weird. But that phone call managed to brighten up my day and put a smile on my face all day long. Thanks dad. I love you.
Good night everyone.

Anticipating the Langkawi Trip
It's now 3.41 am. I can't sleep yet. Not that I am not sleepy, but I am just excited and I have too many things to bring to Langkawi and I seriously do not know how to pack my stuffs. All my friends know that I am a really bad packer because I always try to bring too many stuffs - stuffs that I may or may not need.
I feel that I need to bring those because there will be times like - "Oh why didn't I bring it? I wanna use/wear it!" or "MinMin, do you have this/that? No, I was supposed to bring it but I decided not to. Speaking of which, I feel like using/wearing it too!!" There are so many stuffs to bring - skin cares, masks, body lotion, sunblock, shampoo, conditioner, facial foam, clothes, hair dryer, etc etc... and the list goes on!
God I am taking so long to pack and I seriously need some sleep now... I think I will continue tomorrow... more updates with my trip to Langkawi soon~~

People in my country
Things written here are entirely personal opinion and observation, alright?
I find that Malaysians are not helpful and not friendly at all on a general scale (Of course, like everything, exceptions do exist)
I'll give you two scenarios, both involving directions, which partly describe what I am trying to say here.
Scenario 1:
My little brother and his girlfriend got lost in some rural area in Subang. I think it's called Kampung Melayu Subang, if I am not mistaken. Both of them didn't know how to get the hell out of there as there was no road sign at all. Ohya, they were trying to go to SS15, by the way. So they finally saw someone by the roadside. My brother wind down the window and asked,
Fai: Abang, mana Subang?
Stranger: Sinilah Subang!
Fai: Oh, mana Bandar Subang?
Stranger: Sinilah Bandar Subang!
Fai: SS15?
Stranger: Apa?
Fai: Tu, yang ada Inti College, Taylor's College, area tu. (through gritted teeth)
Stranger: Eh...itu bukan Subang!
Fai: Ya ke... tak apa la. Thanks for your help. (sarcastically)
When I was told about this, I was practically falling off my chair because I was laughing so hard. How can anyone be so stupid? From what my brother said, the stranger clearly is one of the residents in the rural area! He's either too dumb, or he's being unhelpful. In the end, my brother found his way out. (Took him almost an hour)
Scenario 2:
I was accompanying my sister to Mutiara Damansara to meet her customer. She didn't know the exact location of his company, and I... Well, safe to say that I am completely hopeless in directions. So, we were looking for that miserable company in Sunway Technology Park under the hot sun and we were running out of petrol soon. Imagine our situation. So, we decided to stop by the shops and ask for directions. All we got was..."I don't know"! Wait! I am not quite finished yet. He got this I-can't-be-bothered look on his face, which made my blood boil. (I am good at reading facial expression, ok? So I think I got this right) We even tried the security guards, but they gave us the wrong direction. *&^%$%^&!!!
Dammit! But we managed to find that company at last, thank god.
See what I am trying to say here? What is wrong with the people here? Sometimes when you smile at people, they just glare at you. When you are wearing something revealing, they either gape at you or stare at you disdainfully. When you fall down, they laugh and jeer. When they see someone got beaten up, robbed, etc, they watch instead of helping. Oh my god... what is going on here? Friends and readers: No offense ya. Like I mentioned earlier, there is always exception. If you are not one of those people, good for you. If you are, then... you know.
I really hope that these people would try to put themselves into other people's shoes and imagine what would they do if they get such treatments. Please, be more considerate. Have you ever gotten up on the wrong side of the bed? I bet you have. So, just bear in mind that everyone has his/her bad day. So I think they could use a little sympathy, patience and consideration. Don't be so selfish!

Hi Again
I know... I deserve to be smacked. How long has it been since I deserted my blog ya...? Around 2 months, I guess. I thought of updating about the events of my life after my new year celebration...Heck, I didn't even blog about the celebration... It's just that I never got around to do it and I was lazy as well as unmotivated. Anyway, you didn't miss out much, that I can assure you. (For those who want to know about my new year celebration, you can always visit my facebook...pictures are all there)
So, what have I been doing all these while? Hmm, let me think... well, nothing much, I guess. I am just carrying on with my mundane lifestyle, like usual. There is nothing much to say about CNY celebration too, as it was nothing special. I just celebrated it like any other person, eating, drinking, watching telly and gambling with my family. I am not saying that it wasn't happy, in fact, I really did enjoy myself, spending quality time with my family. Well, that pretty much sums up my CNY - boring, isn't it?
Well, I am back to blogging state again. (I will only update this blog if there are events or thoughts worth writing about, ok?)
There is something on my mind now, actually. I always wonder, why is it so hard to keep your promises, or to tell the truth?
Is lying the best way to handle things? I really do not understand why some people just love to lie, even about small things. And if you wanna lie, make it a good one, alright? What's the point in lying to me, knowing that I would eventually find out the truth? If you wanna lie, please, do it wisely. Don't ever let me know or suspect anything, ok?
And about promises... I always believe that if you make your promise, fulfil it, unless there are reasons to explain why you can't. (Bear in mind, reasons and excuses are different)
Oh... this post is going nowhere. I just sound like an angry, whiny bitch. I am not trying to say anything... Perhaps being too free is the reason why these thoughts sprang to my mind.
I am gonna start my final semester next week! I'll try to enjoy it as much as I can...because after this semester, I am DONE with my degree! Yay!! Sorry, I should say, after this semester AND industrial internship.
I seriously hope that something, even small little things, would come along and bring changes and excitement into my life. Please...please...please...I am begging...
