Useful for UK mates: "Largest Car Website in Malaysia"

2010-10-29T23:00:00.000-07:00

Time doesn't fly! It vanishes into thin air I believe. Felt like as if it was just yesterday I sat down here, NOT at my PC, officially canceling my UK Study trip 2010 via email.

Here I am today, welcoming my UK mates back (it's been like, what? 5 months!!) with a website I stumbled upon, that can be really helpful to them, especially with the job hunting, most of them already ready to commit to a car, so even car hunting should be involved in the phase of our early adulthood.

I still don't have a car, nor do I drive. But I'm able to drive a manual back and forth without banging into a tree. I wonder, at the age of 22, when I buy a car, who will I buy it from, how do I even weigh options when I don't even know where to begin. I know of many friends like family who are into car business. Okay, out of power relationship, word of mouth, people could pull some strings. However it's also best to do my own homework to be well equipped with reasonably good knowledge of the market price, etc.

Just like how I was into CariBilik to rent a place for myself, this platform is just as accessible as that!

Hover over to this website to search for Used and/or New Malaysia cars, let me know if you find it useful!

Oh! How Cherry Loves Her Mamee Sllrrp! :) - September Provision Mission

2010-08-22T17:16:00.000-07:00

With me constantly eating in, I've decided I'm converting to the Mamee Sllrrp spirit - seriously. It's finishing fast!

By far, my favourite and it's not an ordinary curry.

SEPTEMBER PROVISION MISSION - HERE I COME!

Packing you along, lil one! ;)

Oh! How Cherry Loves Her Mamee Sllrrp! :) - Come to Mamee!

2010-08-10T16:35:00.000-07:00

There's this whole buzz and fuzz about the new Mamee Sllrrrp, I really always wanted to give it a go since I'm already bored with regular brands like Maggi which still tastes a lil too curry powder-ish. I've always been a fan of Mamee either the keropok or the initial editions when they call it "pejal" but being quality instant noodles it was rather expensive. This time 'round I'm so happy it's at least at a promo price. I know it says RM 3.99 but I got it less than that, from EconSave, Cheras =p

Forgive sloppiness whatsoever!

I like it customised - Mamee Sllrrp Bolognoise with Curry Soup still 'around it -AWESOME tak main berapi lagi!!

Honestly, by far the best instant noodles there is. The texture of the noodle especially, turns me ON!

Contributes to my busy nights with assignments and hey, zen time too! :)

Hawt Mamee

2010-07-31T17:38:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, just a quick one here before I rush for a meeting and interview. That the new edition and range of Mamee Sllrrrp especially the Kari Berapi flavour rocks the taste buds out of me! If you haven't already, stock it up for your zen times and even better, for my Muslim friends when you are on your Sahur, this warms your tummy long time for sure.

My day today - meeting, lunch, interview and provisions to include more Mameee Sllrrrp especially the other flavours, wondering what the black packaging is called again, I'll go check and see.

Freaking cool instant noodles banner, in my opinion :) Have a nice day!

My Mamee

2010-07-29T17:25:00.000-07:00

It's either I'm sick, busy, tired, lazy or just REALYYLY SLLRRRPY hungry! I turn to My Mamee!! :) My Mamee is Mamee Sllrrrp, the new edition and "addition" to the Mamee Family. I like how this fantastic life saviour noodles sounds like a mum to me. I love you Mamee! :) As I type here, I'm cooking Mamee (my camera's out of battery and the charger is left in the Jungle -in which I have also brought my Mamee packets with me during the weekend -_-) so it takes time to purchase another - camera charger that is. And it means I can't talk much right now, cos my attention and quality will be spent with my Mamee rightafter.

I like it PLAIN, this is my favourite!

Only just last week, I had to re-stock my Mamee Sllrrrp. See me Mamee lovalty photo down here, I understand it's not the Mamee Sllrrrp edition, sometimes you have no choice when your housemates steal your Mamee Sllrrrp from you. They're all equally SLLRRRPy but nothing beats these new guys in the Mamee Hood.

Find PJ Condominiums -now here's a guide!

2010-03-25T12:44:00.000-07:00

I've been patient, it's been 5 good years and I really can't wait to have my own car (and my own everything)! Because I love roads, directions, getting lost, discovering every corner of KL and I'm proud to say I have fully (well, almost?) mastered PJ area now! Now, PJ indeed is a nice place to be, Petaling Jaya is getting too familiar and comfortable for me, and lots of people I know. It's either you live/work/hang here. Will not be too much to say it's impossible to not know how convenient PJ is, being a KLian, so to speak. Considering it being a non-capital city in Malaysia, you can have almost everything there! You totally find everything here, not exactly in the heart of KL, but bridging every edge of the Klang Valley :) In the future, you won't be surprised to see me investing and staying in one because of my workaholic go-getter nature. Hmm somehow. Pj potrays such okay! People WANT to stay in PJ and we're talking condominiums that's the total package homie-comfy provider (near to workplace?) Okay sometimes I'm obsessed with work.

I LOVE PETALING JAYA!! :)

Here goes yet another guide to the condo hot spots what nots in Petaling Jaya!

To read on lots on these categories:

➊ Most expensive PJ condominums,

➋ Hottest PJ condominums,

➌ Good Potential PJ condominums, and..

➍ Newest PJ developments...not leaving out..

Adventure Trekking with the US Navy! :)

2010-02-10T09:07:00.000-08:00

Could this, by far..be, the most 'envied' post? hehe. Much jealousy when I tell some of my girlfriends about meeting the US Navy (wooohoo) and bringing them to the jungle, and here it is, where Cherry's happy at work!

I work for Enviro Concerns Sdn. Bhd., a company that provides Corporate Training in Adventure and besides corporate, also all of the Outdoorsy programmes open to all, for individual/group sign ups. Click on link to read all about it! :) I started off as a facilitator since end 2007 until present and have learnt so much over the years, now I am also working on its PR and Communication matters and I'm really thrilled whenever I am slowly but surely given the chance to conduct some of the sessions which what I thought was impossible when I first joined. I am really really thankful to still be attached to this company because I personally feel that not only the concept is great, the money and most importantly the work environment especially with the bosses rocks my socks big time, so thank you all for that! Anyone would know I have big time passion for it. BIG TIME!! ok relax cherry..

Adventure trekking with the US Navy of U.S.S Nimitz definitely is one of the most interesting programmes ever conducted (I had a lot of fun!), by having different batches each day which lasts three days long, 8th-10th Feb with a total of good 58 of them, I must admit I am exhausted!! but it's worth the cardio! ;)

Waking up early for good (typical) Malaysian breakfast is a must, considering the energy needed. This is famous Roti Kraft (as in the cheese brand) and it's awesome really. But I had to 'creatively' eat with an unsual traditional dhal, which is of big balls, have you seen it? Picture taken before the dhal idea came, sorry. The dhal was already bad, it tasted really sour, and I thought it was the cheesy taste of my roti? and also assumed traditional dhal has to be really sour? Had bad stomach condition the whole day, but to pull through I must!! Told Paul my baas (boss in Dutch) and he said "sour and moving"? No joke, there could be worms in it and I am really too blur to differentiate texture and taste that morning *really tired*. It's okay cherry, LOVE THE NATURE! It's meant to be this way!! Not? haha.

sour breakfast@newly renovated restaurant next to KL Sentral Monorail, I don't remember the place's name. Don't order traditional dhal.

We have arrived! 8am, to meet with the clients..at the secured parking lot in the heart of KL. It's that serious. You want to know why secured parking? Well our clients are Americans, and the bombing of churches' quite recent, no? I know I look very Malay, I got stopped at the gate because I didn't have an ID. Which I don't know what ID was the big guy (morning bouncer) talking about. He didn't care about my IC, Student ID, Orange T-shirt, My English Speaking and Persuasion Skills. Funny how cute Cherry seems threatening or a potential....ok nvm. But admiring the contingency plan and tight security. From the bottom of my heart.

Loving the KLCC shot, from my view. I'm such a shortie. :)

My bosses are Andrew, Paul and Bart, with great colleagues Emilio (who was with me first day), and Suba (second and third day). Great thing is? They are all under my quality friends' list. I'm serious and I love them to bits! It's never easy to be working with a best friend or to find a best friend from workplace.

Andrew, Suba, Paul

Andrew, me, Paul. With this hairstyle, Bart calls me Mongolian.

Busy Bart who could not join us, you are never forgotten, a good 'ol pic of us on the way to Jeram Besu, Pahang, another fantastic destination! Bart, me, Suba.

We're all on our way to Congkak Forest Reserve, Hulu Langat, not far from KL, 45mins or so journey for some great jungle trekking experience, yummy Malaysian food, waterfall, more trekking and river crossing and some friendly leeches haha.

Batch 1

They are welcomed with Coconut Water and some Kuehs.

Batch 2

Batch 3

The jungle is tricky, I must admit. What a great workout, step ups, especially!

What normally takes 2 hours to reach the foothill, they did it in one hour only, do not question the US Navy fitness level. haha!

Everyone loving lunch and they finished a big bowl of sambal. Yum!

More trekking, around 30 mins to the waterfall. Oops slippery, but great teamwork there! ;)

This is Kacip Fatimah. You know, female energy drink. Traditionally boiled to consume, and I honestly have never tried, even the commercialised one. will try one day. One day..

After lots of climbing, tripping, crossing, making trails, check out the relief on everyone's faces once we reached at the breath taking Perdek Waterfall. They claim this as rewarding to be able to experience the beautiful nature after quite a challenge.

That's me saying "wooooo" it really is cooling, chilling, simply rejuvenating. The simplest remedy that washes away your problems for a while. No, I'm serious. That's how calm you can be.

They are happy, they said they have never seen something like this before and they are just really glad to be able to get out of the ship and chill! :) Definitely everyone's favourite highlight of the trip.

Just look at him, and soon, nature and angelic music humming in your head :)

I find this really sweet, this is Matt and he said his baby son Max is the firefighter. Took photo of Max being part of the adventure, sigh good family man.

Suba's first leech encounter and no, she doesn't like it hahaha. Tip: Don't freak out, just leave it on and do not pull it out. Let the bloodsucker do his job, taking out all of your toxin in your body. It will go off after it's fat and full.

I'm really used to it, this is me squashing the leech after removing it with aid cream. Looks like mayo and ketchup eh. No, more of Strawberry Sundae!

The US Navy are very very approachable, polite and positive!

Everyone's having loads fun, I'm holding our best friend of the trip, aid cream that removes leeches. Tobacco helps, too.

Journey back to the checkpoint, via River Crossing really needs your focus. I fell down multiple times, because of all of the slippery rocks I had to land my feet on, most of time no idea what I'm stepping on :) It was like game/maze/puzzle with nature, I like.

Our trip back home, I couldn't stop bleeding. Three days straight, I have many leech bites on me..

O' Briens' will be my new favourite place to be! After work makan reward.

Three-day-trekking got me physically. But amazing how my mental works, telling me that I must do this, I must be around for the clients, looking for a replacement was almost impossible. I'm telling you this because I'm surprised myself I survived without fainting. The place is so beautiful and refreshing. It was worth every time, energy, emotion invested, I already miss the jungle. I'm beginning to get annoyed with how the city smells when the jungle smells too clean and I really want to go back there soon. I even imagined myself finding a spot to camp there. Hmm that's an idea! :) The US Navy are the nicest people I've ever spoken to, glad to have engaged them. Initially I was intimidated, I thought they'd be all tough and rough but I'm so happy to know they are very friendly, we even exchanged cultural stories!

If you are interested to experience what I have just experienced, yes you can. Share this crazy idea with your family/friends/colleagues who are just as outdoorsy as you are and we can arrange something nice for you. No, it won't be too pricy, trust me.

To reach us, official website: http://www.enviroconcerns.com

and for the most recent happenings, we're on Facebook too, http://www.facebook.com/enviroconcerns

I highly recommend this because the beauty of Malaysian greens and its ecosystem are some of the things that you don't see everyday, living in this havoc KL Gold Rush. At least, allow some adventure to begin in your 2010! :)

TOP 10 KLCC Properties in mind ;)

2010-02-08T07:42:00.000-08:00

I don't mean to be racist when I say we Chinese people look into properties more than wanting to possess a fancy car and/or don't care if we don't have a bombastic jobtitle for name's sake or to fit in. As long as it's smart investment, good money, it's all that matters. Correct? Yes of cos I have seen myself, Chinese with cool rides and amazingly strong jobtitle designations but property is a priority and the rest just comes along.

Happy Chinese New Year to that! YUM SENG! :)

That's beyond the point, calling out to all Malaysians, and welcome, Expatriates too!

KLCC is iconic, our very own commercial centre, it's what that reminds everyone of Malaysia. People all over the world are most likely to bring home a pewter-like KLCC miniature to signify they have visited us and there can never be a better idea to actually invest on a property in KLCC be it categories of Apartments, Condominiums, Homes, Properties, Real Estates. It's a reflection of gold rush, intelligence and lifestyle, living in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. You would know, the impression people get when you mention a property in KLCC, you'll get "woooo expensive" in return. Worry not, when there is a guide (and will) there is a way, research has been carried out and I am happy to share with you...

THE TOP 10 PROPERTIES IN KLCC

1. The Binjai

2. The Troika

3. One KL

4. The Oval

5. Pavilion Residence

6. Dua Residency

7. Marc Residence

8. Park Seven

9. K Residence

10. Hampshire Residence

Read further on each illustration on how these luxurious spots are meant to be your good investments in The Ultimate Guide to Investing in KLCC Properties! You will find good reads on Most Expensive KLCC Properties, Hottest KLCC Properties, Below Market Value KLCC Properties, Upcoming KLCC Properties, KLCC Property News and even KLCC Property Blogs! Hey, now that's something for everyone! It's not only a good guide, it's like a best friend introducing what they have seen for them self. Enjoy the website!

p/s: my mum who is attached to Pavilion and its other projects, has told me it's so sad people are looking for properties but don't know where to look. Can't believe they would miss out the top 10 list. Well now at least, it helps to spread the word, what's really up and happening in the city.

Have a ROARING 2010 now! :) wishing you only the BEST in finding your desired property! HUAT ARRR!

Exhaustingly eventful post-exam life!

2010-02-07T07:43:00.000-08:00

Hi!!! miss me much?! Aiyo I also miss you lar. I'm still very very alive after my final exams, a little bit too alive that I feel like my body's gonna shatter into pieces when I hit the sack. Or in another way of looking at it, abit no life because I immediately went to work less than 24hours after the final paper? Due to that and many personal reasons, I really think that a 9-5 job is really not what I need right now considering other obligations. CAN YOU GUYS BELIEVE IT IN EXACT ONE MONTH'S TIME I AM GOING BACK TO SCHOOL? TO PREP UP FOR UK STUDIES. Apparently only for the Creative Arts and not Business and others. Unfair but meaningful, nevertheless. Friends who think I am lucky to be occupied, well no sometimes money no matter how helpful will never pay back that health and fitness that you risk being a workaholic. If you have a choice of resting, PLEASE DO, DAMNIT. To some point it just gets really tiring not really physically but to actually use your brains, eyes and voice yeah brains. My brains are never sleeping. Eyes! I hate them swollen, red or droopy, you really need to communicate with those eyes. I never had the feeling of "It's ok lah I don't want money lah, just let me be alone lah". Yeah it's been that bad. But I've already made a really daring bold move for the first time in life, just did that hours ago and ok lah, I'll give myself a pat on the back for that.

Whatever it is, I'm fine thank you, if you ask.

Let the photos taken recently with some assistance of brief captions to take you through what I've been up to lately.

EXPLORING A LOT! BEEN TO PLACES IN KL AS MANY OF MY FIRSTS.

so...am i still cher-lectrifying for you? after those sleepless nights and lack of bodycare?hahaha what a damn narcissistic attitude there. just kidding.

thank you Ledwina soulsista for always hanging out with me :D

MAMAKING, I SWEAR THE CLUBS AREN'T TEMPTING ANYMORE AS COMPARED TO GOOD 'OL MAMAK SESSION, LAYAN SRI NEELA'S SONGS COLLECTION.

this will do, no need parties all the time, really. signs of aging.

MY SECRET PLACES AND NOBODY KNOWS.

nobody knows the stuff I'm up to when I am with me, myself and I.

LIL ANNABANANA LIM KENG LI IS DOING GREAT IN THE U.S! I MISS YOU!

Looking out for a possible candidate -literally.

FUCK YOU GAME.

FRIENDS FOREVER, LEWIE...HAPPY BIRTHDAY (the first girl in the bunch to turn 22)

What are your values?

2010-01-18T06:11:00.000-08:00

I went for a job interview today! Office looks great and the people are very friendly :D Big thanks to Amanda for fitting me in, helping me out. To be honest, no matter how much you guys would disagree with me I'd say that I wasn't at my best at all during the interview. I could have done so much better. I have been a gazillion times better actually. I don't know what's wrong with me but I used to handle chronic sleep loss very well. Not anymore. I took a cab for RM20 something something and slept off througout the journey, I don't have much make up on, I didn't smoothen my hair out, I even have many mistakes in my updated printed CV and guess what? I didn't shake the interviewer's hand. WTF. It's not that I don't know these things. I just somehow didn't do it.

But?

They like me, they are impressed. I'm sorry, but I don't know why. But they are really nice people. very sweet ladies.

I hope to at least work here before the two week intensive session starts in March. some money for the Europe trip. hope to work something out and we'll see how.

Thank you Gadiy, Shah and DJ for the meaningful lunch time. Banana leaf rice again! What?! What lah dei this Sri Paandi restaurant. everything very bitter lah the meal yuck. I didn't like the food, but I enjoyed the company :) Let's sing together "we're all in this together" haha OONite reminiscence. note that: my face is out of alignment when I receive not enough sleep.

After meeting yet another lady boss, listening to her, after chatting with the guys over lunch, after being all by myself at (you guess yourself lah)...

everyone's values are so different. some people think I should not work part time and another internship is what I need to contribute to a company; some people think I should focus on my studies, intensive sessions before UK, some people find working filling up the time makes it more meaningful; some people are able to perform at anytime of the day, some people (LIKE ME) need to find the specific mood and ambiance to produce good work.

Like we learn in moral, there is no right or wrong, also in Psychology. some say it is right you steal the drug to save your wife's life some say it's immoral to go against the law -stealing. Life is so subjective my friends, everyone will always want to hear what they wanna hear, think they are right and find it hard to accept that they can be wrong sometimes.

My values can be a lil bit surreal but it helps me through. Once I wished that everyone had the same values towards everything so we achieve peace. I have learnt. That is impossible. Because if values were to mean the same and weighed the exact same importance for everyone, then there will be many me(s) and you(s) and that is very freaky.

What are my values : Overly ambitious, People relations, Going the extra mile, Working hard, Playing hard and recording every single moment of it.

Cheers, hope your Monday wasn't so blue lah.

May I jam cram cherrydailies into a post just this once? can lah can lah..

2010-01-17T01:47:00.000-08:00

As usual, I am crazy enough to occupy my hands with numerous to-dos but the mind is normally occupied by a total different set of to-thinks and then definitely the heart's to-feels that occupy one big room and most of my time. I don't know how it happens but that's always the case. There is definitely a problem with the cognitive and emotive sides of me hmm.

So it's my obligation, to update y'all who have been visiting but seeing same bowl of salad photo for the past one week haha sorry lah. i already explained the whole hands, head and heart situation that delays me right?

So let's work backwards?

Sunday, January 17 2010

Well I just came back from a great chillout night with who else if not Ledlove who's willing to spend time with me. Craving for comfy place to do our work (freelancers rawk!) and yele sapadu (banana leaf rice) thereafter never dies. plan tweaked when i thought i felt really happy we bumped into Shamkeri and Ad. another set of people (just younger) whom I can just kick off my shoes with. loved it. satisfying! I think I really need a nice evening stroll/brief

dinner on Sundays just to feel highly motivated for what you call Monday blues? :) Next Sun, who's free? :D p/s: first time at Pappa Rich too, the menu price is quite rich itself and don't order so called healthy orange juice. and take note of very very rude bapok waiter there too. In Bangsar i mean. once all you experience it enough, let's get him/her fired!!

Saturday, January 16 2010

No thanks to slow mo pace, you'll know why when you read further. haha hangover! I was really homely, literally lazing around with family, and when I say family I mean the complete set, all five of us! it sure has been long and the last time it ever felt this way must be one of our Penang/Pangkor trips way back (cos the recent one I excluded myself from it). So yes I admit it feels great, though a little awkward. I tried, and it worked this time. Movie marathon (I was just reading a book the entire day to sober up) from when I woke up in the afternoon, nobody had anything to eat until late evening we thought oh yes, why not dinner and then pasar malam at OUG, and lots shopping and came back home and I was forced to join. aaww how sweet. since I've never watched 2012. I must say the decision on the cast is weird, big budget is definitely thrown in but John Cusack disappointed me. here goes -my fav part:

effect's great but there was no fear in the actors' eyes..

Friday, January 15 2010

Happy Birthday Neresh! :) at DragonHead, Kelana Square! You know the kinda feeling throughout the weekdays you thought to yourself hmmm I've worked hard and long and tonight's the night? I must say I felt exactly the same way. After all the emotional strain with some issues which I thought can never end, I think I'm getting a better grip being around people. Forgetting the negative really easily and looking forward to more positive ions.

So yes, Happy Birthday Neresh, the guy from the neighbourhood! :)

Something feels really different this time. And then I noticed. We're all grown ups partying now. No wonder it really really tells, there IS a distinction! observe how everyone's struggling to open their eyes :)

led i want the disco ball!

BIRTHDAY BOY

this is Neresh Dhondhi Singh whose eyes was asleep after downing the bday cake

sexy mamas cherry, eunice, leddy and fara with unknown pimp.

Neresh and Chadhury

Our supper. Did you know mutton makes you horny?

Thank you Led and Armaan for looking out for me <3

Thursday, January 14 2010

This is the day I know I want to have a peace of mind outdoor. The sound of the fountain at Gardens being heard and seen from where Starbucks is is bliss and the best. Funny how I don't feel lonely at all being at public places by myself. And to observe all walks of life is quite a task. I enjoyed it. The awes and critics playing in my head hehehe. This is also the day I thought "hey this is how a freelancer works" I didn't really grasp it of course. Till I really told myself hey, this is really how they rely so much on their laptop and work from the comfort of homes and anywhere else they wanna be. It's quite interesting than a 9-5, no?

I also felt quite handal, made a lil banner thingy showing off my already long ago existing 1Malaysia identity.

Freelancer at work -Starbucks Gardens

This is 1Malaysia

Happy Ponggal! Thank you Suba for the morning delivery service hahaha!

Wednesday, January 13 2010

Let me tell you why I suddenly felt SOOO responsible towards my brother Lionel that I brought him out for snacks and let him order WHATEVER he wants to eat. (His tea time RM 17++ ouch!) he didn't wana go mamak la no choice.

I was being so mean to him since he got back from school and forced him to eat lunch I made. Well take note that he's realllly fussy over food and complains like shit so it gets to your nerves after all of your hardwork preparing y'know. He made faces and said he hates the food and I went all like "down it!" "this is life" thinking that he's just too spoilt over food choice. He didn't really finish it though and looked sick after that. And then I realised. I burnt the porridge. The whole pot of porridge stinks and it aint edible my friends. Felt really stupid as the big sister, I apologised and proposed that we go eat out if he's still hungry? the whole looking sick part is memang buat muka only, he immedidately cheered up -_-

Fish and Chips and Ice blended for minum petang!? wharrt? ok fine.

Tuesday, January 12 2010

Aiya got lah some things may have happened, don't remember and lazy to blog about it.

Monday, January 11 2010

THESIS DISSERTATION DONE! OMG I THOUGHT IT'LL NEVER END!

I never really thought that SSH (Social Science & Humanities) lecturers are THAT childish? hmmm.

Wangsa Walk just has to be the place again! It's new and it's the best thing you can get around Setapak lah what to do. A&W! :D Quality time with Sabina always the best because there can never be silence hahaha. I love her so much aaww, for understanding me in out through all body fibres and I am so glad I'll survive in UK because I have her.

Sunday, January 10 2010

Vague. I just know I was and am still home most of the time, trying to get myself together, also trying to study. get pulled out of bed, kidnapped and end up having a drink or so here and there. Nothing spectacular YET. Suba bought a new camera and I thought the photos it produces rocks. It's Sony Cybershot, 12.1 megapixel, RM699 NP: RM999. I'm really planning to buy a digicam and fingers crossed, an SLR (rather than relying on hp :'( boo hoo)

My best friends would know, that I get very easily pleased with little joys in life :) As small as they seem, they can really make my day. Sometimes I seek for them, so much so I need them to carry on with life or else I'd declare it boredom. Am I THAAAT detailed? I probably am. I could really relate myself to Sherlock Holmes after watching the movie. I didn't think he was insane or anything, think he's really smart in an unusual way which of course, the main point is actually how I LOVE ROBERT DOWNEY JUNIOR VERY MUCH! haha. To share, therefore the fights in previous relationships because the small details that could make me happy did not (will never) happen at all. At the same time, by looking into the small areas, leads you to the very big picture which in the

end proves your assumptions to be genius conclusions haha! weird? I know my ladies out there are totally with me in this (on how male are incapable to look into details/we can really catch their mistakes if we want to but we love them so much we just don't mention).

Omg! that's beyond the point. Now little (random) joys in my life may include:

☼ The sound of boiling water and the smell of coffee in the morning

☼ I'd go crazy if birds are chirping considering the industrial ecosystem that turn the birds off

☼ Running as hard as you dirtydance

☼ My me-time in a café and feeling absolutely at ease when the ppl working at the café know exactly why you are there all alone

☼ Patting a fat stray cat

☼ To observe that your 10 yr old brother take your "wake me up" task SERIOUSLY

☼ Successfully removing ALL of my blackheads on my face without leaving a scar

☼ Meeting up with my girls due to NO OCCASION

☼ Music from 90's simply because I know the lyrics from A-Z

☼ Meeting new friends is also like a date

☼ How people selflessly and effortlessly tell you genuinely that you are amazing

☼ and the list is forever...

My little random joys of the day in a summary:

Truthful and polite enough to cancel an outing, Went back to bed, Slept till late afternoon, appointment with beautician was 2 hours back and she wasn't pissed. Knew I didn't have enough time to get ready for rescheduled time, I was still determined to make something for brunch/lunch trying very hard to stick to resolutions to be on a good diet, and save money. Rushed like mad in the kitchen.

What do you think?

Let me tell you what I think.

It's an awesome big bowl of salad!! :D

No I'm not torturing myself. I enjoyed it very much! Bart, my Kitchen Sifu will be really proud of this! :D

Aiya can't MMS him to show off cos he can't receive. Then I hope he reads this post!

Cherry special includes bread crumbs i made myself!, egg, tuna and coleslaw dressing among the greens. voila!

Such joy to also bump into old friends, sent an application form (I hope I get the job!) and found out a

friend works there! :D high chances! went to buy my favourite things!

At night when I was working on my things, the BEST lil joy in my 2010 so far, how I was surprised that...

Gmail layout changes itself. The first is daytime and when it's night, it changed to a night layout!

I was like, eh who changed my theme setting!

Omg i didn't know! Gmail is so cute, it's alive! ok i'm going crazy.

ok probably in your eyes i didn't have anything to shout about for the day. then maybe it

should occur to you to allow things to happen to you, to allow the smaller things to make

you happy! I hope that my dear friends, quietly, as much as you wanna deny it, that...

you DO have lil random lil joys like mine, or even smaller but crazier.

LOVE 2010!

Thanks for the memories, TAR College <3 (2006-2010)

2010-01-08T10:09:00.000-08:00

TAR COLLEGE, IT'S WHERE I HAVE ESTABLISHED GREAT CONNECTIONS AND WILD STEPPING STONES OF MY LIST OF FAVOURITE TIHNGS TO DO. THANK YOU!

Disclaimer (cheh wah): I'm not going to thank one by one, the wonderful lecturers and friends from this college I love very much because you already know who you are (can't you tell by the many times I verbally and physically appreciate you?) and you will be constantly mentioned anyway.This post, is very the condensed because I have no enough sleep but am sincere in writing this one. Enjoy!

*** edited because MARCUS ANTHONY KHOO refused to read disclaimer***

This is for times the you were there for me both in the campus and in our neighbourhood. Photo taken right before you left, we looked very young but definitely look better now as we age gracefully. I am so tired my eyes can't open. wtf is wrong with our hair! we look very cool now. Be very touched! zzzzzzzz

It's like the whole world (FB) knows today is my last day of college because my mates can't stop emoing over it on their status, you've guessed the theme of this entry! It's ritual, it's a must, to write about the journey. I loved college life but not as much as I enjoyed primary and high school! -that one got more memories lah.

This will be quite a ridiculous long post so pls grab your favourite snack! :)

I am happy to announce that I have successfully struggled through hurdles of a college life in Tunku Abdul Rahman College, Setapak KL Main Campus, never went on a street fight, never went on a protest, be barred, blacklisted or suspended or expelled. Frankly, failing only two papers in four years : Media and Advertising and Tamadun Islam dan Asia. It sure is the attitude problem and not to say intellectually challenged. I went for a 'resit' and scored A for both. Right back at ya, bad Cherry! Told you it was just bad attitude :) I am a good student aaww :) <3

I suspected TAR College was going to be my future at the very initial stage of SPM because my elder than me (5yrs gap) sister went the same route. No joke. Same kindy, primary, high school and even college. But I stayed longer, she had the chance to go to UTAR, PJ but not me. UTAR, PJ required me an extra year of learning chinese because i am so banana all back in Kampar where I know I will die of boredom and too much water and nature. I want pollution! I want the gold rush of KL. My choice extended to Advanced Diploma and eventually by this May, to Liverpool, UK. Thank you God for bringing me this far.

I have said this and I will say this again. I went to TAR College with no friends. Considering the majority command of Mandarin in a huge campus, knew I was going to have some problems. But the immediate sense of belonging, thanks to Samson, my brother (eh you all still believe the story ah? Ok ah year 2010, samson is NOT my brother k? haha!). Samson introduced this college life to me, I felt very welcomed, very Indian and very very homely. The Open Day personal tour, guide to survival (guide to fame), how-tos, all also he teach me :) Appreciate the good times, the canteen 2 meeting place and the 'rat holes' whatnot.

Samson's words: "Every company needs a PR"

after SPM, we were working at this awesome place where you "have ur ways of working" hehehe. and he was already teaching me what to expect in TARC.

I am only so thankful I purposely took a photo of MY FIRST DAY OF COLLEGE. Right after people think they like me and voted me as the course rep, I met up with my girls (notice leddy is in STPM in VI, Suwen was already in MMU Malacca), we were like...updating each other! getting excited!

my first event, newbie weh, given a chance to be an emcee, I am honoured. Spot BOPET AND LOL! HAHAHAHA!

my Diploma classmates Hema, Gary, moi, Pinky, Emilio, Tasya, we're still really awesome together, closest with Emilio today. Peranakan style! - Emily of Emerald Hill play.

This statement will never change : ENGLISH FESTIVAL NIGHT '06 THE BEST EVENT WE HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED! cheers!

worked really hard for Oceanic Orientation Odyssey Nite (OONite) '07. worked even harder than i can today. partial newbie but an External ViceChairperson is the Jack of All Trades, and Victim of All Bullies ok.

Encore Night '07 with my Indian brother and Malay brother. 1Malaysia yo.

We were involved in the Student Welfare Committee (SWC). This is an ice breaking session with juniors the future leaders cheh wah. Best of all, we have our own SWC office and we do WHATEVER WE LIKE there. awesome.

Health Campaign '07 under supervision of very fierce Ms. Yesu (she's actually really sweet), it's the training you need that's all haha.

Tak cukup manpower but we managed to organise a DPR2 (The end of Diploma in PR Year 2) Pillow Talk Farewell Party and I think it is an undeniable success.

as we became older, we were visiting/supporting Junior's events and campaigns instead. As patriotic as I can be, just by being Chellamma, I won RM300, thank you Faces of Malaysia! I went Malacca to eat, drink, party with that money haha, thanks!

Best room mate -here comes Advanced Diploma Year One. Alvin, thank you for you have taken care of me very well.

The TRULY LOVING CAMPAIGN '08 -APR1 Events Management. The name itself too full of love weh.

NASAM fun in the Park! -Charitable Cause a continuation with Truly Loving Company! It was my 20th bday! :D

championing Pidato '08, don't mess with the chinese yet indian at heart girl.

Sabina owned it! Finalist of Public Speaking '08 which is the English version of Pidato one week later, confused the VIPs, they thought we are either the same person/sisters. I must have BM-ed too much I ended up looking very Malay at some point. again-1Malaysia.

Best room mate Part Two -here comes Advanced Diploma Year Two. Not only Mimi the cat, but in KengLi's awesome house. Thank you for the great hospitality.

The Recent PR Campaign Planning and Management, SSH 10th Anniversary Celebration.

TODAY

I love gifts, the smaller the better.

APR2 & AMS2 sexy course reps ;)

random sarcasm I JUST FOUND OUT!

You see, life as it moves, it has to end somewhere. I have gone this far and never regretted a second. Got lah, of cos very regretful of how many homeworks I've not done and talked my way out of it. But aiya the exception is acceptable lah k. I know the lecturers know I am very lazy academically and only am more enthusiastic about hands-on campaigns and events. They quite accommodate to that. To redeem myself *reminds self to answer forums on CeL later* blargh eeeww haha.

I don't know how I sustained to be the course rep for whole four years, people are probably too used to me, as if it's even Ok that I slack once in a while (or most of the time?) Selamba sudah. Thanks for the faith and trust y'all.

I was very comfortable in the campus. As AvatarCliche-ed as this may sound like, it's like I have a connection with the nature, building, people, whole ecosystem of TARCollege and there is a weird sense of peace everytime I am in this college. I can wear shorts, slippers, persuade the security guard, I take my time to stone in some fav spots, my point is, it feels like home. I behave like I am at home. And I'm going to miss it. Quite badly.

The people. The lecturers and students in TARC are very cool. They are so awesome even better off to befriend them as compared to those English speaking ones. At some point I have stopped thinking that I am outcast because I don't speak Mandarin. There are so many people like me here. I am so comfortable I even take them for granted, knowing I won't lose them. That's why I went astray a lil during my final year, I have some other commitments outside, no time lah sorry ah.

I have done many evil things in this college too, and the college has punished me, it has also forgiven me.

Ah well, at least most of us are meeting in LJMU.

WHAT'S NEXT?

Pls live with it when I tell you I do love going to the library, borrowing books. I scanned through the shelves thinking to myself eh why ar the books so familiar. The fact is, I have read most of them before. Since Diploma I have read many books and great how it never feels/looks like I love reading right? haha.

I love when my mind travels. Reading is my new high.

This is just a small perimeter of my room. I am currently comfortably working in a coordinated chaos, baby! ok lah fine, I'll find time to kiuk-kiuk (kemas-kemas in Hokkien)

AS MINOR as it looks, this is phase one, ladies and gentlemen, moments after it happened.
Phase two three includes pus making them big pools of wet wounds so wet when a bug (with legs) literally landed on my knees it couldn't fly away, ouch! ouch for the bug and i! i quite refuse to show you phase two three cos it is very very unpleasant and you'd probably not wana come back to my blog, trust me on that!

With much regrets, due to what looks like a small matter but indeed a painful sensation against any sort of friction....

I had to FORGO agendas I WAS WANTING TO GO SO BAD :'(

Dragon Head Back to Work Celebration, Emilio's Zouk Night Out with Fleishman colleagues, Tomorrow's gay club revival I MISS OH SO MUCH, Laveena's Ice Skating idea Sunday, sorry I have failed you :'( maybe next time.

Thank you for temaning me down memory lane, friends who care about my blog.

Not your college girl no more. front this point. laaaaa feel so old. kthxbye!

HOWEVER.....

I will still go back to college A LOT, to submit my finalised thesis, to pay printing supplier, to follow up with some work, to get past year Qs, to study, to return books to the library, to hope that I still have the chance to have breakfast with Mr. Lee.....that's more like to-dos sorry...

I WILL BE BACK TO COLLEGE because....

I still have my final exams,

I still have all UK related classes/briefing to attend,

I still have my Karate training (Ok, secret is OUT) -I'm training Shorin Ryu now, Hayashi friends pls don't hate/judge!

I still want to look for my lecturers, juniors, friends, to lepak,

last but not least....

I am the SSH Alumni AJK (AhliJawatanKuasa) generasi paling muda.

least importantly....

I want MALI CORNER NASI LEMAK, KUEY TEOW BASAH; FOON LOK CHAM PING and many others.

Lots more ahead of us! So don't be too sad, folks!

It has been A WEEK..

2010-01-07T07:51:00.000-08:00

since the new year's, that is. did it feel like 7 whole days have passed. No. not for me. I do not feel anything at all for the past one week. this should NOT be the way. at least this is not how Chellamma lives her life. thank you everyone for asking me out every now and then. not only that my wallet is gonna dry out soon and I'm still unwell from the previous ordeal, keep it coming, i love going out trying new things, THANKS! :D call me! This must be surprising for many that I even initiate outings, because I was always the boring, "Im busy" spoilsport. Now be really annoyed because I will always ask to go out with you heh heh!

there's a lot to discuss actually. what happens from now on until we all leave for UK. work? but what's gonna happen to our intensive sessions with Dr. Iqbal in college? Decisions. hmmm. You know I can't bum around for long.

so as quoted from FB, crazyworkaholicmaniac mode!

Tomorrow's the last day of school and many are expressing how sad they are, I just realised I am not very close to my coursemates. I've been going missing, more involved with outsiders. It's like as if I lost interest in studies for a while. Sorry guys, I don't know how else I can juggle work and education. I only have a handful buddies from college and I love them to bits. You know who you are. Less than 10 from the 26k TARC population. Quality, not the quantity. Hugs!

Looking forward! Breakfast with Sabina, and hopefully, Mr. Lee too, in a few hrs' time.

So....a few selected photos, current happenings (like so sad saja haha)

Alvin, Emilio -I have slept with them. HAHAHAHA. and nothing happens. that just proves how close we are. chill people. chill....

Suba my neighbour, my everything! I think she's really gorgeous. Bollywood Babe's her nickname. so cheesy right? =p It can be Bollywood Barbie/Bitch occasionally. aaaww thank you for always buying me things, spending on me, feeding me lots of food, keeping me happy! :D

OI! OUR 15 YEARS OF FRIENDSHIP.....IT WAS OUR FIRST TIME WATCHING A MOVIE TOGETHER! pecah record weh. New Year Resolution CHECKED! haha!

and I never knew about the classic Chippettes. damn tak tahan these female chipmunks, you'll really enjoy Alvin and The Chipmunks 2. though let me warn you it's only about an hour movie!

my dear leddy over and over again, you keep me going, constantly reminding me of my qualities, what do i do without you soul sista? you motivate me, you really do.

with leddy, even the silence is comfortable.

you must've noticed more photos of other people and not me. there is a psychology behind it, on how people don't want to appear on the camera due to self esteem issues. by looking at the photo below, yours truly, photo taken today, during my chillaxing time, it only tells you....

I'M BACK FOR GOOD, WORLD.

*panic, omg i have missed out so much! 7 days have passed just like that!!!*

hope you don't mind my brief update. I will try to be more interesting :D probably once I stop getting drowsy from cough syrup whatnot. notice the change of hair color! :D :D

I promise you after this post you will witness bombastic posts one after another. Give me time and the Cherry you miss will be back k?

Stoning days are over, love.

2010-01-04T18:22:00.000-08:00

yes i promised a cherrydaily to prove that i'm still alive and kicking. but once in a while, forgive me (esp lately), you need to wait for more than 24hrs la. slow mo mode.

the title says it. STONING DAYS ARE OVER, LOVE. for real. like really really for real ok. (better be)

i understand i have already said that i've left everything behind and now we're cool, it's not like i'm crying or shit but i just somehow can't be normal (yet) at least, i'm referring to the past 4 days. like it takes time. taking a bit too fucking long. sorry to those affected. i've really tried but it just shows. no thanks to the medication i'm under. i am really in a weird zone right now, i've been such a bore, lack of sport, i have literally wasted 4 days doing nothing much, i've been going out so much, being around people on a non-stop basis, had lots of awesome food, overdosed retail therapy thank God for some money, my room looks pretty, i look complete, and i feel FAT. my friends are great, always talking to me. so what else do I want?

I'm good now OK and I have realised how many other (way wayy dammn important) things that have lacked my attention not these few days, probably these few months and I feel really bad. It's a new year and it had to Fuck up (kinda), i know im so much more better than this lah aiyo kadavuley! so loser meh?

it's not like I've been blinded. my eyes felt as if they were fucking stolen. i've gotten them back, put 'em back in the sockets and now I see........(I see you...haha Avatar)

THANK YOU LEDDY FOR OUR THERAPEUTIC NIGHT! :)

"the best thing that has ever happened to my life -shisha", said one very happy customer. (not me or leddy, someone from next table who hasn't seen the world. haha jahat!)

THANK YOU SABINA FOR THE NEW EXPERIENCE! :)

"We're going for ang mo this time. we're going for George"

THANK YOU LIONEL FOR REMINDING ME WHAT A BAD SISTER I'VE BEEN! :(

my chance to redeem myself. tuition teacher is back! welcome the Tahap 2.

Lionel's stick figure drawing of me always involved 2 ponytails, I always wondered why. He always wanted to explain to me but didn't know how. Until I naturally looked like (refer pic below)...there goes. Wait!! don't move! *photo taken* He always wanted to have a signage on his room door with a big cross like that. Our dexter-deedee relationship.

That's Lionel Boy, wearing his Xmas gifts.

It occurred to me how much I've abandoned my lil baby brother. We used to hang out a lot.

I've also abandoned myself long and big time.

what the fuck was going on with me?

To start anew-year! Planning ahead!

2010-01-02T06:33:00.000-08:00

Literally didn't step outta house today, didn't speak to anyone at all, phone or live. Some may find it possible, if you know me well this is one of the biggest challenges for Cherry Kam. But I handled it quite okay actually. This only means the brains, heart and inner voice did all the communication today. Go non-verbal woot! I never felt so personal before, I never felt so close to myself before (sounds quite wrong eh? haha!) I mean seriously, I never focused so much on personal development/self evaluation/planning for quite some time. Never had the intention, never had the time. So today was the day.

Resolutions? I want to flip Ramly burger, I want to be hired as a dancer at a club...

haha that's more of a life resolution. I always had this in my head, how does it feels like to be in others' job, at least in a day. make it into a documentary or something! do these many many jobs before I die. to flip Ramly burger is at the top of the list. When I go crazy, you'll know because you'll either see this on TV or at least on my blog one day.

To start anew-this-year, involves a lot of commitment, luck and self-discipline and look, I'll really try. One's to break old habits, two's to instill good ones. (ahem ahem, don't you think I berjaya blog day two now huh? puji abit lar aiyo).. There really are some people who don't plan/don't know what their goals are and live life as it is. As I'd get pretty restless, never will I settle for less for living your life as the human being you are right now happens just that once. The 2nd Jan '10 can never happen again. Well people function differently so I gotta respect the fact that they don't have objectives in life. Then I must say I'm thankful I'm someone who feels it is important to at least know what's ahead of you so you have a direction, you know what to go to, you also know what not to go to. Yes I know things will never always go as planned. Then at least when it doesn't follow my plan, according to the original plan all I gotta do is tweak it a lil while on the other hand, you have to kinda like start from scratch, probably making more and more mistakes because you don't have the ability to foresee.

As you can see my reason of not being out of house, I have officially lost my voice. I actually miss my voice, I don't remember how I sound like anymore!? Most frustrating of all, I can't sing along to songs. I have that tendency to sing along now only air whistles through my trachea, very sad. I hope to recover ASAP, anticipating gossip sessions, and I have some phone calls to make.

In a way, cannot take it already. I deserve to check my bank balance (it's such a thrill not knowing/remembering the amount) & then go shopping tomorrow! I also have a face/body that needs a week long at the beauty spa or something. Have been pretty stressed out with some things and some people but not anymore! So yes, that's one more for tomorrow's agenda.

Yikes, but that's only after I finish my homework, collegework and workwork haha.

CHERRY AVATAR-ED BUT OUT OF ALLIGNMENT HAHA!

have a fantastic first week of the new year, friends! <3

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010! The BEST is here!

2010-01-01T22:25:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year 2010 dear friends who actually follow my blog, thank you for keeping the interest up! Cherrydaily will indeed go daily now. Welcome the new century's 10th year! You know what's cool? How I observe every single one of us take this new year so seriously. With resolutions, aims, to-dos, and at the very least, well wishes. People actually care about the 2010. You guys mention very highly of this New Year, I gota feeling (wooohooo) the best year is definitely here~~!

What have I learnt in 2009? I've never multi tasked so much in my life! Big thanks to the foundation I've gained/still gaining from Philips and their trust in me till today (it's crazy man!), my on ground experience being the PR & Communication Manager of Enviro Concerns. Don't laugh at my title, the business card says so ok! It's overwhelming, I'm quite already out there, never felt so industrial before. If you don't know/forgot, I'm still a final year student of Advanced Diploma, PR in TARC so this is the best shiet to ever happen to me. I've never done so much work, taken so many cabs in a day, dealt with so many people, all at once. This is one of the greatest moments in 2009 I must say. One of my wildest resolutions and it's happening, I love life and will work even harder this year.

I have met many amazing people, have had meaningful conversations, changed my mind about family values, life in general, learnt how to keep my cool, learnt how to write/speak better, value friendships, totally overcame stage fright, learnt how to source for motivation ~ ah among others lah. It's been an awesome year, cheers!

Lots to look forward to the highly anticipated 2010! Simply put, to work on what I've done wrong in the past. I have already learnt my mistakes, I will not go through them another time. I am now smarter in every aspect, I know better what makes people happy. Very excited to know that I'm going to UK this May, I have a crazy goal which will be happily announced once achieved!

NEW YEAR'S EVE happaneengs :D

Led is right, there's something very sad about airports. We girls sent off one of our darlings, Keng Li. I am most proud of her, she is leaving to the U.S to attend a Student's Exchange Programme till this May. I can't say all alone cos once she's there she'll get to know one charming ang mo lang, we want her to bring back to Malaysia *thumbs up!* Take care baby...thank you for all the times you had me as your roomie, appreciate the slaps in my face! I will not be so lazy anymore! Sad to know I will not have my party starter partner for long time, but I'll defend our title baby!

Bon Voyage, babe! <3

Girlfriendsforever -Group hug includes (L-R) SuWen, LaiYee, WeiLing, Lil AnnaBanana KengLi, MeiLing, Led and me Cherry at KLIA

Because we are smart (heheh), we found what we want, great Indian food, no queues, no crowds, comfy company before partaayyying! The banana leaf rice must be the NYE highlight for me because I've never enjoyed dinner so much in long time. It was so satisfying I thought I felt my tummy smile. I even ignored the fact that I was already losing my voice, down the spice! bawahkan bawahkan haha! inside joke.

Me and my RAJOOO playmate, Amanda <3

We went to Pennisula Residence, I thought the place was quite nice. Underestimated it. I admit I didn't have much mood, wasn't being myself, and I was actually not feeling well at all. Total burnout, worn out too. No matter my condition, I decide, I can't be alone and by having my friends around, I will be okay. Which is true, I became okay and I thank my girls (LooFen included!! the pic with her is verrrry blur can't be up for posting sorry!) Also thanks to WenKhai for his brotherly love, Led my Santarina who was with me through this, thank you for showing me the ugly truth and all of crazy party people I've met for the first time, thanks for making my New Year :)

Amanda, SuWen, Me and my OrangeJuiceoftheyear, MeiLing, Lewie: I honestly think my girls are damn pretty

There were...wait counting..a total of 25 of us that night squeezed in a small suite, a nice combination of old friends and just-met friends counting down together with what else if not alco and snacks and silly games. awesome. Drinking game is definitely tricky. The best part starts when the new rule comes in: Bercakap dalam Bahasa Melayu.

"Awak ni tak bersukan lah" -You're not sporting lah HAHA!!

Crazy companion, nice to have met all!

The next morning -on the very 010110, it was rather peaceful, it did feel like a great kickstart. Food is the key to our happiness but I was like eh Mei Ling, 2010 lah, can we go have something healthier ar? "Is dim sum healthy?" Ah ok steam steam, dim sum is okay! :D Alasan LOR!

Hong Kee Dim Sum, Damansara Jaya...grabbed 'em dim sum before we could even sit down! Nice.

2010 has so much in store for me yo! I am most excited about my me myself and I resolutions right now. Cheers homies!

Sabar ye...kawan kawan...

2009-12-25T00:10:00.000-08:00

Intending to make this blog a bomb ushering in the new 2010, stay tuned, will be working very hard on this. aiya, have some faith in me lor....;) merry xmas!

Sem Break Priorities!

2009-09-22T10:56:00.000-07:00

12 days left. what? that's not even 2 weeks. yeah so 12 days more for so many I've planned...what the..seriously, falling sick aint cool cos it totally robbed 3 precious days and all of my could-haves. the timetable of the new semester is even out..you'd be jumping around for a moment...to find ONLY 2 days of classes in a week haha. but pls take note, that's just Lectures, they haven't included the Tutorials lar..

But what to do lah right, not everything goes as planned. To make great use of these 12 days, that is! :)

Priorities...of course catching up on what I've not touched on for long time..

By saying that I mean healthy lifestyle, superduper organized room, cleaning, grooming, catching up with so many of my loved ones, tv shows, downloads, etc. So sad..think driving needs to put on hold due to a HUGEASS recent commitment, will tell you on a personal basis. Hint: property.

The bigger to-dos:

1) Thesis Dissertation to complete til Chapter 3

2) Management stuff, misc stuff, kira kira stuff, tedious stuff with PR course (APR2)

3) Of course my lil virtual office..I still love it..do I need business card? haha..

And am not gonna lie, you do know I'm behind all these Philips Facebook stuff...what's the point of knowing? Yes, of course to support your lil friend Cherry here..:) Basically, it is a Star Search for a well groomed young lady to be Philips ambassador, we're trying to create an awareness that Ironing plays a very important role in beauty and grooming that brings the best of you!

pretty pls....I just need lots of people to join the fan page then will they be aware the wonders of this campaign and Philips steam iron, and the whole contest deal. Would you be so kind, to just check it out? It's all there.

Come on over, show your support : Philips Iron Your Way to be a Star Facebook Fan Page

Thank you!

While most of my mates are working on their internship report at home right this moment, I'm at my Internship place, yes Philips both the place and people of my pride and passion. I'm back Wooot! I can't help it guys...it's so addictive, since I've ended the extended Internship period, we met up quite alot, and keep in touch at least every week. Call me a freak, I've never really felt so much love for working people, for a workplace. My current freelance work cannot say lah, that one informal, also loving that. We're talking about an established organisation here. Never have I thought Internship would 'lead me on' to the craziest paths haven't I imagined.

Because of my 3 month experience, only did I discover the many forms of 'love' and I appreciate the bond with every fibre of my body I tell you. Coming back to a building that reminds me of only happy thoughts allowed me to 'turn back time'. I felt like I re-lived my past in a way I want it. I'm thankful to be given the freedom to make choices this way. Thank you Jeanette and the guys for bringing me back, to help out, in between busy schedules, I don't mind at all. Laugh at me, I don't even know how much I'm getting paid for doing this. I love Philips, it's like my new boyfriend haha.

One week after my farewell, so sad a farewell was prepared for Kent, my neighbour and youngest supervisor.

Mid Valley makes my world smaller, really. Bumped into Jeanette and Ming Sang on the same day, and we went makan makan at the memorable Paddington Hse of Pancakes. Jeanette and that peace sign haha forever lah.

Today, a role no longer as an intern but a freelancer, we went back to Jeanette's fav healthy lunch that Jeff says 'yucks' to haha. Vege, grain and nuts rice with blended celery soup..hmmm fresh and funny taste.

It's the motivation factor I tell you that determines job satisfaction, performance and organisation sustainability..which is somewhat my first choice of thesis topic. Despite feeling unwell, I was able to stay focused at my task continuously. Why can't I have the same habit for my college assignments?

Worth a mention again, guess it's rewarding to be passionate, Jeff's treat for dinner and I never noticed a busy crowded Korean food place, in front of Din Tai Fung, Gardens. Hmmm.

Of course it gets me emotional, they are busy people with lots in mind, I'd still ask myself why do I deserve such kind gestures, to be fed good food, to be sent home safe. Whatever it is, I can only repay their kindness with my undying passion.

I don't even have to refer to anything to type my Internship report. I know exactly what to write. It's all in my heart waiting to be expressed in writing.

Take a break! :)

2009-06-23T03:29:00.000-07:00

instead of stressin' out, take a chill pill, all. especially to my PR coursemates who are constantly whining on how assignment's sucha bitch just relax & get everything done in a calm mind. Life's already a bitch no matter how much you bitch about life. What's the use you start early, stress on it and still have many mistakes and misinterpretation on ur work. so yes, key point : chill out.

As I've mentioned all over twitter and facebook, it's not the assignments that make me sick, it's the people I deal with everyday. Til today, I don't find there's anything wrong with our assignments. Only that, I love taking my own sweet time. That's my bad habit. Except today of cos, as much as I want to work on my thing, I had to fall sick, probably food poisoned but proud to have 'checked' off a few things off my to-do-list.

Ok so here goes, some updates from around 2weeks ago :)

this is a pic taken on a bad day, after running in the rain, see things arent that bad at all unless you allow them to look bad.

relax like Sabina, as she admires herself in between work haha!

while I treat myself with my fav food in between work..

catching up with lecturers who used to teach us, and tell them how much we appreciate their life lessons. Ms. Yesu looks great !

and there's no harm to taking 'power nap' during lecture, allow yourself to rest, don't push your body, sleep when u know u need to. no time? nap at least, like darling alvin.

randomly explore new things, even if it's sitting on sofas, facing the wall. thanks to Emilio for recommending Sharwamas...

good to have Kerry, Sabina's lil sister hanging out with us.

help each other crack necks..

i've found my another 'work station'! conveniently, with a plug for my laptop..

Go Green. am currently looking out for anything to do with Go Green, honestly would love to help Ms. Lim to help APR1. at a personal level, am having a mini recycling campaign at home.

just swear, curse, get vulgar. that's how I feel recharged. This is Trev with his proud gadget.

don't worry, he didn't chop anyone's. just a cute souvenir from Amy from Bali. there are more use to this toy as demonstrated by Trev but I think it's impossible to be made public. too turning on. haha.

I am back! wahahaha! go back to ur fav makan spot once in a while. this is where we used to dine, during Health Campaign 07, and TLC 08. if i've chance to stay back til 9.30pm, let's go to MU's kuey teow goreng basah!! =D

don't walk away from those who approach u, roadshows really are destressing. Sharon, Tee Lee and I decided that there's no harm in getting a few bottles of Listerine home.

by participating in a few games of cos, I had the 'yuck' look because we all lined up and spat at the same sink and there was no tap.

camwhore! be amused with how peautiful u look hehe. wah sabina tak main garang lagi.

drift queen in action!

our 2nd in a week! we've swapped, now's my turn for nasi lemak ayam, while Sab's at kuey teow goreng basah.

reminiscing childhood. I used to have strawberry shake at 'Yaohan' which you call as 'The Mall' today. KLIGP 09, waiting for photos from Alvin.

see if overmentioned products are overrated, finally at MV my neighbourhood. Krispy Kreme's delicious but too sweet for my taste. Diabetic, I must say.

don't say no to free samples of cos. alright, I brought home some doughnuts for family.

and no matter how much you disagree with your old man, buy him something nice and go eat out on Father's day. yes, this is where I get my 'Malay features'.

This is how I've survived my 'busy days', taking a break is really important, before everything accumulates, you may collapse. I thought I did it the right way, then why am I still falling sick on a monthly basis? Better shrug it off as tomorrow's a day I'm really looking forward to. Will fill you guys in. take care!

Discover Malaysia Property and Real Estate

2009-06-16T09:09:00.000-07:00

Whenever you plan to move out, to rent or buy your space, to position your business, to invest on real estate.. three key points to adhere to: location, location, location. Don’t mean to sound corny and it’s not only about the feng sui, it just simply brings the best of you.

Ah, let’s talk on something more serious right now..

For an older audience, or even the younger ones, like me, this is a good browse through, for us to be more knowledgeable cos honestly I’m really noob in these stuff until I bump into this website where I’ve learnt a lot on property and real estate. So, for my friends who have earned the past few years and are ready to commit to a place you call your own. Cheh wah…do check this out, register as a user at property search and be amazed at what you’d discover without having to ask around, be independent, be first! The place to go is propwall.my

Do observe how you can view the properties in the Most Popular Order or Alphabetical Order, suit yourself! Though I’m not in a position to invest on properties right now, kinda cool to be awed by high end residences, hmm some kinda inspiration!

RENTING ROOMS MADE EASIER

2009-06-15T08:21:00.000-07:00

Whenever you plan to move out, to rent a place that's the most convenient for you just makes you a happier and healthier person, innit? Think about it. I’ve heard of how people travel from Rawang to the city for work every single day, I cannot figure out why? Passion for that job you have? Probably. Do consider the stress, time, energy accumulated, bunched up all together. Two words: No choice OR No life.

I have friends who are often looking for a place to rent and oh may I add one of my bosses I work for arranges expats’ accommodation be it temporary or permanent, I’m glad to say I can share a really useful website to rely on! I don’t have to play guessing games and randomly throw them a suggestion when asked nor need they go google and end up frustrated not looking for what they want. It’s all compressed into one big book of everything now.

Let’s talk about renting rooms at caribilik.my,

Malaysia's largest and No.1 room for rent website with over 15,000 rooms available today.

When discovered, I was like "who's this smart person putting it all in one for us, nice..!"

Great news for on-the-go nomads, here, you can register for free and conveniently search for the best place that suits you via an array of specified areas for you to click on, from Ampang to Wangsa Maju and every strategic place possible which from every area breaks down for you an even more specific location. For example, Setapak, they’d narrow it down the info to like Danau Kota, Genting Klang, so forth. Now I see how this is handy for most of my college mates.

Do take note that every information is available from price to contact details to facilities available, an organized database for you! Upon being a member, you are able to browse through your desired house to rent. Not only that, to register as a user also enables you to ‘advertise’ should you want to rent out your current place, help your friend to rent out their place..you get my flow right?

Besides, fret not if you still can't find what you want, you can also post up exactly what you’re looking for! With that, when others bump into your requirements, they would suggest to you as well. As anyone would be a ‘perfect match’ for anyone on this site, in terms of looking for and renting out the perfect place.

Now we no longer pull out ads from public walls, it’s all online and you can get to it right now, do click here, if you’d like to rent rooms

ALL THE BEST IN FINDING THAT PERFECT PLACE FOR YOURSELF! =D and actually, I don't mean just individuals, I'm sure families find this guide handy. take care!

One shot

2009-06-02T07:28:00.000-07:00

I’ve got one shot. To prove all of my promises ALL these years as a student, and I mean ALL the way back in them primary and secondary school times, that I can actually do it if I put my mind to it. Well not to say I have been only flunking, but there’s one problem. I can never be consistently good as a student, too often I drop on both extremes, high and low. But ok, on a serious note, too bad I’ve only this one very year to prove it. Sigh after that I’ll never have a chance to live a student’s life. My biggest challenge ever! : to never procrastinate. Ok I take it! Hugh! I take this challenge. early warning, too.

Welcome! the 2nd week of APR2! Everything’s still slow and steady but I do know many have started on their assignments. Can u feel the heat baby, yeah the game sure is on! Internship report, Thesis proposals, Crisis definitions, Jason Lo, Fish Spa, Beauty product, global brand, corporate ads, very general psychology topic, whatever you are, bring it on already.

Campus updates!

Alvin has a DSLR! which only means Cherry & Sabina will use it more than he would wakakka..still waiting for nice nice photos from this cam! can't wait to make it a FB profile pic!

SSH lecturers' office, both G floor and 1st floor renovated! spot Mr. Chuan and Ms. Lim's room awww so sweet! on your left, with a Programme Supervisor signage on it. Ms. Lim Siz Siz is now our Advanced Diploma in PR Programme Supervisor while Mr. Chuan is also but for Diploma. Mr. Satwant has taken over as Broadcasting Comm Programme Supervisor.

now we obviously don't write notes anymore. like during Mr. Crisis Leong's class, as he sarcastically asked Sabina, want me to push the board nearer to you so that you take a clearer picture? With an attitude, Sabina replied "it's ok, can zoom". I burst in crazy woman laughter!

my entertainment in lecture hall #1

my entertainment in lecture hall #2

our recent SSH Course Rep Meeting, honored to be addressed as seniors. still can't belive it's US to be looked at as the batch to fly to UK. wow. time really has passed.

students like us are often on tight budget. no lah on diet *alasan*.. but yeah what you just looked at is our lunch, for 4 of us...awww kesian...haha

often animated, lots of stuff going ON the head..

rather, IN the head...oh remy cutie you!

when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

No laughing matter

2009-05-28T08:52:00.000-07:00

And I mean APR2 (Advanced Diploma in Public Relations Year 2). That very final year before we fly to UK. That's also if that can happen lah. touch wood, touch wood..

From the past few classes, I already thought to myself “hey, this aint easy shite. This serious shite you gota work hard for it weh”. Not even a tiny bit like diploma, not even like last year’s APR1. But then of course, much more relevant to the PR field and I love it! Give me something as trivial as Tamadun, ppft. So far we've met our PR, Advertising, Marketing lecturer who's also guiding us in Advanced PR writing. Really cool how she intimidates me, makes me wanna work harder. Corporate Comm, it'd be super canggih if we all could make it there in the future, but the lecturer? *shudders*. Yeah, rather passionate (inside joke). Psychology for communication? Man, I don't know yet, I just know she was in so much pain lecturing us, watery eyes and dry throat, poor thing. So yeah that's about it for now. Looking forward to learning Crisis Management.

By attending lectures and tutorials are just part and parcel of a budak baik. I believe we have to do our own homework, that is by reading lots and lots of everything. Discovering, experiencing, applying..I don't even know where to start and where to end. There's no limit to improving one's PR knowledge. We have to practically know everydamnthing. And gone case lah me. No concrete knowledge on business, finance and management. Gone.

I know, I know, sounds overly cliché-ed to you. Like I say this every semester, that I have to study really hard bla bla bla..allow me to say that after Internship, every one of us would ultimately mature and we can’t help but be more efficient. Right? With that, not only it's so cruel and competitive out there, we must first compete with our own selves, the ego, the temptation, the want to quit or how Sabina would put it : “Ponteng inclinations”.

I have to talk less on this, and put on more actions to it. Knowing that I have a potential throughout the year part time job, I can’t afford to mess around. Every second counts for me, I need to work out a calendar and have very good plans and backup plans and sigh, fine, let me just tell you that I feel scared. The pressure is on. Best part? Parents aren't supposed to find out. Oh ya, also am contemplating on signing up for 1 year gym membership or not. I really love working out and know that I need to? But can I fork out that money? Life is so spontaneous I don't really know.

Can I make it? To be studying and working at the same time? I believe I can. Because people believe I can.
These are my bitches for life. Sabina and Alvin were always with me through thick and thin, and I only do so well in college because of their everlasting love and support. Thanks guys, for building college memories with me..<3 aaww how cute our diploma graduation photo. fuck, was that like, 1 year ago? I didn't even notice how that time passed. and don't I look particularly different..or it's the hat lah i think.

what's up next for cherry?

2009-05-25T07:43:00.000-07:00

You’re actually quite wrong for thinking I’m the most organized person you’ve ever known. Not true.

After the amazing journey of Internship(aww..kissing any Philips logo I see now, muah muah muah!),

I still have lots of work undone, I’ve put on so much of weight thanks to constant good food and pampering, and can you imagine? I don’t have proper stationeries/lucky book/lucky pen for the new semester, my room’s a mess all over again. Simply unprepared and disorganized. Oh ya and disappointed too.

It’s high time to buck up but feels like im going on slow mo. Ok lah working on it already la k. ppft. See? The kinda pressure I give myself.

Now I’ve changed from a pampered lil girl in Philips to the college ‘mama’ identity again. But don’t get me wrong k, I’ve never regretted it. Into my fourth year being your course rep is my honour. Just hope you guys (APR2) could help me out by immediately understanding what is needed rather than having me to repeat myself again and again you see.

Life right now..

Typical college meals, not the best food and overpriced.

Catching up with old friends is very important..that's LooFen highschool classmate, our recent reunion :)

To get back in shape (I’d understand why it sounds familiar haih)but I’m dedicated to Celebrity Fitness recently , kira ok kan? Besides the typical cardio and weights, lewie and I are pro at hiphop moves and dirty dancing too k. check us out at the clubs near you. Cheh wah..haha. oh, and did you know we've been getting this FREE personal training session with a guy named Bryan who is SO OBVIOUSLY is interested in Lewie. Me? I'm just being 'there' to entertain them. haih...

At your service APR2! My blog will slowly become a place of updates, check it out k! pls read emails, don't be lazzzzy :)

To find for reasons to be in touch with Philips. I know, tak habis habis kan?

Pay more attention to Lionel’s studies in school. Miss being his tuition teacher. That's my 9-year-old brother Lionel, studying for his on-going exams..ya, i know, lying down on the floor, he's very mischievious, taking care of him NOT EASY K!

To get that butt up, start working hard, ignore easy life.

.::: or maybe i'll just live life on random:::.

that's true, I'm normally showered with luck when I plan less, when I least expect it.

THANK YOU PHILIPS by Cherry the Intern

2009-05-22T10:56:00.000-07:00

Ah..here comes my final day in Philips Malaysia Sdn Bhd – I can never ask for a better place to work at in the future I dare say. Internship? I’d call it a vacation. No, I’m serious. I take this internship a 3-month vacation where I happen to meet up with my ‘friends’ in the day time and we’re like working on cool projects together. It felt like I was sent by college to attend a student’s exchange programme, and to my foster family. We’re happy, we hang out a lot. If some issues arise, we’d solve it, overcome it and then we have coffee and at lunch many dishes ought to be prawn and they’d kepit and put in on my plate cos I love it too much. We gossip, don’t mind each other’s personal stories, converse in profanity and obscenity (haha! It’s a good thing). This has always been how I take it. No wonder, you must be thinking, Cherry’s freakin’ enjoying herself. Nevertheless, I’ve tried whatever I can to be the best intern to make both my college and Trade Marketing proud. By now, I know I’m really proud of myself for a gazillion reasons. Mainly, to have been exclusively accepted into Philips without interview whatsoever. Still, I hope I’ve proven to all that I didn’t take such advantage for granted, I respect the trust and faith given to me. I’ve learnt so much, it’ll take forever to break it down for you. I just know I’ve grown so matured!

If you ask me, it’s a funny feeling you know..today..the office looks different, feels different to be talking to the same people. it's what i call the "im dying" feeling/ "im already dead, soul came to visit" feeling. choyyy! as much as I was particularly busy typing away, I was also busy daydreaming. I had a lot in the head. Limbs and brain juice weren’t exactly coordinating, still got some stuff done. I was being emotional actually. Oh and many were amused by the lil cocktail chocolate I’ve given as a byebye gift, they liked it. And my special gifts for my bosses, well is tooooo small compared to what THEY have prepared for me. Show u later in this post.

I did say that I may cry on my last day but I didn’t. Because these are the angels sent from above who only want to see me do well, and hell never will I let them down. If only there’s a better way to show them how much I really mean THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart, how much I’m grateful to have known a great bunch of extremely nice people. Not to mention how I look up to them too for they are professional and capable.

They brought me to Shogun in Sunway! A must try! Initially, it was just my boss and supervisors. Others came too especially the really busy bees who can’t make time even for the most special occasions: Edwina, Philip and Elaine came!! Everyone was tired, I had one swollen eye (you’d notice in the photos), Jeff had a stomach upset, that’s why I appreciate this farewell lunch even more!

my starter hehe..i ate so much!

that's me just talking talking talking..(or according to my girls, muka gossip!tangan pun macam gossip)

That's Jeff..ok fine, I know you know.

Kent, Cherry, Philip neighbours for life! We have taken care of each other so well..

cute candid! haha..

Cherry and Ming Sang with sexy mamas : Edwina and Jeanette..

Thank you Philip, you've been such a great companion. You'd google just anything for me and I'll miss facing you everyday!

Thank you Elaine! who looks superfine here! ;) Thanks for all your support!

Now let me bring you to the Trade Marketing family..

Jeanette's eldest son haha! My eldest brother in the family, David. Thanks for the enthusiasm, always wanting to entertain me haha!

We're like the youngest spoilt brats hehe. My 4th brother Kent who loves to lecture me on not to use the F word haha! also, all of the life lessons, I'll always remember!

Ming Sang, the 3rd brother who's so caring, gentle, which I find truly adorable of him. Thank you for the guidance, and I'll miss how you always tell me "don't worry, sure can.."

here comes the 2nd brother, Jeff whom I assist most. Thank you for everything, really! The one who taught me almost everything since day one.

But most of all...

I'll have to thank Jeanette, my boss, our mama..for opening the doors for me, allowing me to learn under your wings and sometimes, on my own. The woman I admire SO MUCH! the woman whom I love truly. You are the one who made it happen for me. You gave me this Internship experience, and I thank you for that.

In sweet memory of us, working very closely everyday..take care, now that I'm away..

POST FAREWELL LUNCH..

After all of the good food and sweet nothings, we still had work to do. Continued with photography session with Chef Zam at KDU.

Went back to office and to my horror I still had SO MANY stuff not completed..so there i was til 7-ish pm. Once everything was at supersonicspeed, I was really reluctant to return the pass. So I took a pic of it. :(

Well I think it's worth a mention that Jeff was sooooo kind to wait patiently and before that he sent me home because it's my last day and that I have alot of things to carry, it was his treat at Paddington Hse of pancakes! My first time! and it has such a Dutch twist to it! Paddington is in UK right...hmm why Dutch eh. Whatever..I love how it's spelled pannekoek on the menu..Thank you Jeff! for the quality time spent.

my final fatty meal!! haha..it's called Amsterdam!

And then I went home, excitedly checked out the gifts given by the family. Be. very. jealous! They make me feeeeeel sooooooo grand! =D

Philips Mp3 GoGear LUXE that connects calls, ark! red colour! I love it! and awww Crabtree and Evelyn giftset I swear I can smell it from here as I'm typing...I'm in love with the scent!! and haha random cheese gift.

Close up!!

It consists of Bath and shower gel, body lotion, perfume, soap bar, and powder all in the Lily of the Valley scent!! <3

I hope that this isn't really the end and that we'd still work together (somehow) in the future. We'll keep in touch. Oh yeah we're all on Facebook ;) Take care, everyone! All the best to you! I'll miss each and everyone of you. You are one of the sweetest memories I've ever had, it'll retain all my life.

THANK YOU PHILIPS!

Gooooooood morning 5.10am!

2009-05-18T19:51:00.000-07:00

Yes! That’s how early positive vibes came in for theeeeee day!

After many failed attempts in these (I kid you not) 3 months! I am actually strong willed enough this morning! Well ok lar fine, let me reveal …that in order to achieve this, did quite a few silly things.

They are: I slept extremely late the night before so it doesn’t take too long (or too deep) before I wake up? Ok in short, easier to wake up. I also well erm, slept in the living hall without mattress, on cold floor, facing the front and back door so it’s sooooo dark and creepy it’s easier to be awakened? I also had this personal grudge towards mum pfft how dumb, wanted to prove to her that I want to go to work by myself and it never was a problem for me?

So I guess it takes quite a lot to be disciplined. Sounds like I have to self-torture. I may need a different strategy, if only I could naturally wake up in decent bed, willingly. Shit. Macam tak jadi weh.

At least, I was happy, I even reported on twitter that I was early lar k. so fine. I reached Philips at freaking 6.50 am. I tried dragging as much time as possible. I was reading while having my breakfast, desperate to be productive.

But hey hey see what I’ve found on The Star! =D

kindly click for larger image. Mr. Eddie Ong (the Philips Consumer Lifestyle Director everyone loves)and Chef Zam.

Just if you don't know, (of course you don't! came out today). Malaysia's Celebrity Chef Zamzani Abdul Wahab a.k.a Chef Zam is now Philips' Ambassador for Home Kitchen Appliances. I was like there! helping out with the arrangement! Such an honour to be on a direct contact with him, he's soooo funny! Yum cha sessions are always entertaining I love it! So, those who love their mothers, buy some Philips products or if you aint earning, recommend it haha! Mind you Philips products are pretty high end. Sneak preview: Pressure Rice Cooker that can cost you more than a RM1K. And of course, we have lower range ones to accomodate people like..me!

Ouuk now I sound like an ambassador. Sorry. To learn that this is my last Monday with Philips, I express out of nervousness. I'm already sure they've never seen such an obsessed intern haha.

Most of you are overly informed that I've extended for another week right? Real reason being, I'd rather spend 5 more days in Philips than to be bumming around at home, or trust me if i have free 5 days, I'd end up spending stash away by going out. so yeah. Also, Jeanette did say she'd need my help for as long as I'm available, I really want to stick around a lil longer.

We went to Ikano for nice Sushi King (thank youuuuuuuu Jeff for spending us! though you only paid because you lost in a bet haha), a meeting and most probably, my last visit to a Philips Roadshow..

I'll miss the demonstrators and promoters so much!

i've been too hard on myself.

2009-05-17T09:21:00.000-07:00

everything was in a rush and a blur at the same time for the past (not few) but MANY weeks. i've been setting too many goals for myself, pushed myself so much I end up becoming edgy and unhappy and all i want to do is to bitch about life. it's very weird coming from me, someone you know very well who loves to express. i finally find it so hard to tell you what i really feel this time round. i really want to know that this is a phase, part of growing up, it's normal and that you too, are going through quite the same shit.

gets frustrating but I'll overcome this. see how deep and profound I'm getting lately!? gosh..

I know I'll be better, like I told Led. Indirectly, I quietly thought to myself how there's actually something very wrong about how I take my life, I'm actually whining. worst of all, no actions to it. Thanks to a casual chilling session with Led&Shaun, appreciate it so much. if it wasn't for their kind opinion and advice, I would've stayed this grumpy bitch for theee entire week.

A promise to myself to not bitch about life but instead, to do something about it.

tomorrow onwards is the extension of my internship, i don't intend to let anyone down, so I better get myself together! semangat!! semangat!!

Seriously, life is meaningless without these special girls..(our recent random gathering that was so awesome!)

girls, pls tell me that everything will be alright and that im on the right track :'(

sigh, hitting my head three times, and let the beautiful tomorrow unfold.

tell me you too have those shitty days

2009-05-12T09:34:00.000-07:00

currently can't find the good spirit of writing.

today's one of those shitty days, perfect continuation from YESTERDAY'S shittyday and it's actually getting better only because of Sabina my best companion, virtually -for now that is; lunch with Kingston, tight hug from Gadiy, random news just to prove my world has been minimized, and a very concerned Leddy.

i insist that tomorrow gets wayyy better. come on, come on! i can do better than this.

also now working on my life which is off working hours. i do enjoy myself at Philips. but after that? i don't have a direction and i find it pathetic and boring. at least, during college times, i've loads to do during or even off class hours so i wouldnt even have the time to think "oh what do i do with life?" maybe this is for being a spendthrift loser who is too broke for more entertainment who happens to be single and not family oriented enough. ok done, im emo. better sleep this off, wake up, laugh at this post and hopefully, happy enough to delete it.

this week pun fail

2009-05-07T09:21:00.000-07:00

Hello! Cherry ni memang semangat. Semangat hangat-hangat tahi ayam ada ler. Just doesn’t happen the way I promise it to be huh. Another attempt next week.

Another set of weekdays totally not fulfilling personal aims. 2 days of lots of food and no exercise. Shit! I have just lost the momentum again (prayyy hard! Wake up early tomorrow and go jog!!)
Yes so I really hope you get my point about the whole clutter thing. Our body is cluttered, our minds are cluttered, surrounding, just basically everything. Technology is such a good help, such a pain too. In a way, it makes us work less, in a way, it makes us work even more. You keep discovering, learning and knowing. You tend to compete, but don’t really know with who. Like you’re competing with the world. Eg: I phones and practically everyone is owning it. Numbers aren’t infinite! Knowledge of today’s is. Little things are growing into micro little things. We’re truly living in a different world.

Gosh I’m really sleepy right now. Sorry not uploading any pics, pissed tired. Seriously, just a few years back to look at, I had the best stamina anyone can own! Like no sleep, less food and lots of work out and man, was I so very productive or what!!.

Also, am pulling out from Pengisahan Kenegaraan thingy due to time constraint.

Cluttered!! Cluttered!! Cluttered!!

2009-05-03T10:47:00.000-07:00

Back in the diploma days, we learn the word clutter often used to describe media advertisements and what not.

Not long after, we ourselves are cluttered alright.

Am not sure if it ought to be a good or bad thing, I just personally find it hard to keep up. Yes this is coming from a slightly OCD person (who loves lists). Very-hard-to-keep-up. Am currently as confused as hell living in a clutter by being cluttered myself.

What I’m really talking about is of course, the total count of multitude ways of information transmission/sharing and the goings-on, social networking, now that’s just online media. Traditionally, we have warehouse sales, no offence but desperate price slashes, and promos, and tie ups, sponsorships, partnerships, events, contests, etc all just all over the place, specifically right this moment. Oops not really. I receive emails and smses on warehouse sales. So yeah.

What is this? Modern living? Of course I’m very thankful and nooo not expecting to love stone age. It’s just that, dude!! (referring to nobody actually) take a breather, erm, stop your genius works just for a while, don’t go exploding like that!

Let me just make it clearer for you via my life in a day example. We take today. *Deeeeeeeep breath*

I wake up, check my hp, reply smses ok done, turn on the comp, i update FB, skip those trivial quizzes, see what my friends are up to, check gmail (I have two accounts), look at Friendster see what I’m missing (on a once in a blue moon basis, frankly), then I twitter while having breakfast, I go to star online if newspaper is taken by somebody, ok if I’m in the mood I sign in my msn (dislike auto sign), I buffer finish ANTM cycle 12, always bump into lifestyle messages on whatever I read, ok that reminds me, go jogging, ah need to reload my hp, shite, thought of checking out celcom to go postpaid permanently but would like to keep my number (never changed number even once) then oh ya we can do that today right? Celcom line but 012 number. Weird. Or being hotlink member is better, right, read up on the benefits online later. Ok where was I ? reload, good I can do that via atm on my way to the park, oh that reminds me cash deposit money (my way of menabung) then owh darn! Have to pay streamyx. Gah I have to learn e-banking, really. I could have reloaded hp online but I forgot my password, ah so ma fan. Need to go the pharmacy, stock up, ah, need to compare watson’s and guardian, hate how i always end up buying the more expensive one, next to each other anyway, it’s ok. Oh new bakery opening! Let’s check it out, ah promo promo! End up buyin lotsa bread. Came back, looked into the mirror oh boy need to do some grooming, mask, brows, blah blah, so many tubes and lotions and procedures why is this taking so long. Luckily done with nails yang dah lama tak maintain last midnite while watching ANTM cycle 12. Cheh wah can multitask somemore. So many tv shows I’ve missed lately. All good ones. Ah some work to do (compiling data), thank god for software, via excel everything is simplified, but I need to learn more of these softwares, damn it lah photoshop haven’t even mastered fully? Video editing pun noob sesangat. Teach lionel tuition, in return he’s teaching me mandarin (fo real) ah shit was signing up for ymca Chinese classes, quite cheap but missed the intake. Oh ya that reminds me! Of California fitness 1 month pass thingy that costs 30bucks, I better not waste by missing the deadline. Lionel needs to turn on the interactive cd attached to his book oh god, lagging lar later. Oh yes done with my work, better save it in a pendrive oh ya need to update powerpoint for jeanette, oh shoot! Rating Philips malaysia videos on OurTube. Yes! Global Philps has their own YouTube! Cute! Got star star for you to rate somemore.where’s my pendrive, ah got movie inside for suba, lupa transfer to her laptop. Oh she still owe me my dvds and story books (aiya!! Mph warehouse sale I lupa!!) oh I bought many dvds I haven’t watched also. Hmmm I miss the girls, would like to watch movie with them, ok mass msg them on facebook lah hehe, watch wolverine! Meiling can book online. Ya cos lionel’s playing with my hp, cant sms them. some car racing game, oh ya need to transfer photos and burn in a cd for jac, upload in Philips’ sharedrive too, I need to download some nice ringtones also. Anyhow, haven’t the time to explore xpress music phone, so many functions and softwares I’ve not looked into, really. Ok I think I wana blog..right, mayjean said she linked me, linked her back, shit! Terbaca the review on her blog, I already know the ending of XMen, like…I already know what the hell happened to him, pls don’t visit her blog, girls. Bumped into chean’s blog, very nice! Wow krispy kreme the new thing in town and I haven’t tasted. Ok good, already informed Marcus he seriously don’t have to bring me Krispy Kreme fromUS already haha! Wow shit I haven’t copied pasted that nuffnang thingy, then I haven’t been earning. Aiyo, adsense,I need to download some java thingy first and damn, my Mozilla tetiba hilang, need to kau tim that, aiyoh need to burn a disc on laptop recovery thingy. My blog needs a makeover, it doesn’t have a direction, it’s too random and and..ok I need to learn more tricks with it already. Sigh, ppl making money with online shopblogs, when am i, ever, going to be entrepreneur in becoming? You wish, cherry. Ah make money. So how and when wana start becoming tuition teacher? Wana go through agency, get contact from asiaparttime.com or just walk to institut desa jaya to ask. Yikes! Next to bakeroni! Avoid ex boss! But really, I must learn cooking, still catching up with AFC and reading cookbooks. Ok just finished reading newspaper (yes reading again cos right now reading the starmag section, awed by the whole deal of twitter, like our PM is also twittering, er should I follow him? Haha), also fully understood A(H1N1) oh! saw this mother’s day contest which I wana try out, came up with a damn profound slogan I love it!

Stage makeover contest for mums and daughters :

My mum deserves a glamorous makeover because (10 words or less): her struggles on the stage (life) deserve a standing ovation.

Awww Cun tak? Ok sorry I know your eyes and brains are so penat because of me. Part two in the making! (being typed in my head, to be published tomorrow, in serious need to multitask cos thank you for the 24 hours given but sorry, it’s just not enough)

Can you imagine, this is just a summarized quick browse for you.

Briefly explained: continuation from pidato victory, to send a good script on patriotism, go to prelim rounds, then represent state and go win some cash back. haha just kidding! it's the experience that counts, for me! I bet NONE of you will read finish. might just freak the shit out of you with my BM. enjoy! (or not!)

(Dikir barat)
Wahai semua, anak Malaysia, dengarlah sini, hamba nak cerita, teladanilah iktibar sejarah.
Di mana lah oh perginya, semangat patriotisme? Janji laungan merdeka?
Oh Merdeka……(Merdeka!!)
Di manah lah oh suara, wahai oh rakyat jelata? Janji perpaduan kita?
Oh Merdeka……(Merdeka!! Merdeka!! Merdeka!! –‘semakin hilang’)

(Pantun)
Lut sinar, lut cahaya,
Lut masalah keamanan negara,
Rakyat kurang bersatu, hilang percaya,
Pelajarilah dari sejarah sebelum lara.

Ketara sudah, jelas nyata,
Cabaran Malaysia hari ini,
Penat lelah, seuntai kata,
Bertindaklah mesti, bermula di sini.

(Di kedai makanan Mak Som)
Mak Som: Wah! Letchumi, selamat datang, memang regular customer Mak
Som lah, bisnes dah kurang! (sambil mengelap meja dengan tergesa-gesa).
Letchumi: Nasi lemak Mak Som special satu, ya?.
Mak Som: Baiklah, ini dia, Mak Som buat kerja memang cepat. Lima ringgit ya. Hehe.. (segan).
Letchumi: Mahal nya!! Saya datang pun sebab semua kedai dah naik harga, Mak Som
pun dah macam tu ya sekarang?
Mak Som: (Hampir menangis) Apakan daya, anak Mak Som yang dah habis belajar di universiti, tak dapat kerja lagi, berat beban Mak Som.
Letchumi: Haih, saya minta maaf, saya pun sedang menganggur ni, tu lah tension.
Kegawatan ekonomi, katakan.
Mak Som: Tak tahu lah berapa lama nak bertahan. Tak pe lah, silalah makan, sejuk nanti..saya pergi dapur sebentar (sedih).

Peragut: Dah jumpa dah target kita ni. Tunggulah kat motor, ambik je nanti aku chow!
Ok set! (terus menutup telefon bimbit)
(terus meragut beg dompet dan telefon bimbit di atas meja makan Letchumi)
Letchumi: Tolong!!Pencuri!! (Berjaya menarik rambut peragut). Seorang wanita macam awak pun keluar mencuri?
Peragut: Tiada pilihan lah! (terus melarikan diri)
Letchumi: Aiyo..kaduveley macam mana ni!!
Mak Som: Apa yang terjadi sayang oi..
Letchumi: Ada orang ambil dompet dan telefon bimbit saya!!
Mak Som: Awak kenalah berhati-hati!! Tahukah awak, menurut statistik, kadar jenayah meningkat lebih kurang 100% sejak Januari sahaja. (semakin bersemangat). Dengan situasi hari ini, semua orang semakin terdesak..mereka sebenarnya..
Letchumi: Er..mak cik? hutang dulu ya?

(Sajak)
Renung sejenak,
Apakah usaha tokoh-tokoh negara kita tiada ertinya lagi?
Jika masih hadir ertinya, apakah yang kita lakukan ini?
Di lubuk hati tidak mahu mencuri, tetap mencuri,
Di hati diam tidak mahu membenci, tetap mencaci.
Apakah tumpah darah pahlawan tiada maknanya lagi?

Renung sejenak,
Antara kita semua, ramaikah yang menepati?
Janji setia meneruskan semangat perjuangan tokoh silam,
Janji sehati menhargai dan menyanjungi,
Antara kita semua, ramaikah yang menyedari?

Lihatlah sekelilingmu,
Antara ramai yang hanya tahu menikmati,
Dari mana datangnya keamanan dan kemajuan ini,
Kalau bukan kerana pengorbanan individu yang berprestij tinggi,
Kalau bukan mereka yang tegas menegakkan keadilan untuk generasi hari ini.

Lihatlah sekelilingmu,
Negara membangun jasa pemodenan,
Negara sudah pun maju, majukah kita?
Masing-masing kotakan di dalam pemikiran,
Malaysia di arena dunia atas jasa satu-satunya.. “Bapa Pemodenan!!”.

Tepuk dada, tanya selera. Di manakah logiknya sekiranya kita telah mengorak langkah dengan begitu jauh, mengapa masih ramai lagi yang tidak bertamadun dari segi perilaku dan mentalitinya? Mengapakah terbentang luas berita-berita pahit yang tidak patut dari aspek politik, ekonomi dan sosial pada hari ini? Mengapa kita mahu mensia-siakan usaha pemodenan yang diberi kepada kita begitu sahaja? Kami di sini secara peribadinya menyanjung segala pengorbanan Yang Amat Berbahagia Tun Mahathir Mohamad.

Dikenali serata dunia dengan identiti ‘M’, seorang pemimpin yang cukup mengagumkan atas semangat beliau untuk masih teguh di posisi dalam memberi sumbangan sehingga hari ini. Cuba bayangkan. Dari tahun 1950-an sebagai seorang pemuda yang agresif berterusan perjalanan beliau menjadi Perdana Menteri sehingga tahun 2009. Apa yang pasti, penjelasan Tun Dr. Mahathir berkaitan dengan isu membabitkan parti dan Barisan Nasional di samping kembalinya beliau kepada UMNO adalah sesuatu yang amat dinantikan oleh semua. Dalam ucapannya beliau di pilihan raya baru-baru ini mengulangi keyakinan bahawa UMNO di bawah Presiden baru, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak Perdana Menteri keenam kita, mampu meneruskan pembangunan negara ke arah negara maju dengan memastikan manfaat dan faedah dinikmati oleh semua kaum.

Setibanya Tun Mahathir ke dunia kemimpinan sebagai Perdana Menteri Malaysia ke- empat, beliau dengan pemikiran revolusinarinya memperkenalkan Dasar Perindustrian Berat. Tun sedar bahawa, komoditi tidak dapat membantu mewujudkan lebih banyak peluang pekerjaan. Objektif dasar ini adalah untuk menyerap dan mengimpot teknologi yang lebih canggih bagi memajukan teknologi negara kita sendiri. Di samping itu, Tun ingin mewujudkan peluang pekerjaan dan melatih lebih tenaga mahir dalam bidang kejuruteraan terutamanya bidang automotif yang sememangnya antara sebab utama kemunculan Malaysia di persada dunia bagi kebolehanya membuat kereta identiti sendiri. Sepastinya buah fikiran dan usaha Tun berhasil. Perusahaan Nasional Berhad (PROTON), Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Nasional Sdn Bhd (PERODUA), serta Motosikal dan Enjin Negara Berhad (MODENAS) adalah bukti kebolehan Malaysia. Tun mampu mengubah sektor ekonomi asas negara daripada sebuah negara yang berasaskan pertanian kepada sebuah negara berasaskan perindustrian. Proton Saga, Proton Wira, Proton Perdana, Myvi, Jaguh, pelbagai kenderaan beridentitkan negara megah menyusur di jalan raya.

Pucuk dicipta ulam mendatang.
Tun mencetuskan lagi dasar- dasar baru bagi pembangunan negara Malaysia. Beliau senantiasa prihatin terhadap perbelanjaan kewangan negara bagi memastikan ia berada dalam kawalan. Dasar Penswastaan negara merupakan contoh pengurusan kewangan beliau yang agak memberangsangkan. Dasar ini melibatkan pemindahaan kuasa kawalan dan kepentingan atau pelaburan kerajaan tertentu kepada sektor swasta. Ideologi di sebalik dasar ini adalah, kerajaan menjimatkan kos pengurusan namum tetap memperoleh hasil seperti cukai keuntungan perusahaan yang diswastakan. Dalam usaha ini muncul beberapa syarikat swasta seperti Sistem Penerbangan Malaysia (MAS), Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), Projek Lebuh Raya Malaysia (PLUS) dan lain-lain lagi. Berikutan ini, mutu perkhidmatan dan keuntungan meningkat dan sememangnya saham bumiputera dalam syarikat- syarikat bertambah. Sekaligus ia menaikkan lagi status bumiputera dari segi ekonomi dan gaya hidup.

(Ucapan di Bangunan Parlimen sempena meyambut Ulang Tahun Yang Ke-40 PBB)

Dr M: Tema sambutan perayaan ulangtahun ini ialah "For a Better World" dan sempena dengan sambutan ini, Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu telah mengisytiharkan tahun 1986 sebagai Tahun Damai Antarabangsa atau "International Year of Peace". Saya berpendapat tema dan pengisytiharan Tahun Damai itu sebagai bersesuaian. Marilah kita bersama-sama berdoa kepada Tuhan semoga negara-negara di dunia ini lebih damai lagi pada tahun-tahun yang akan datang.

Datangnya penglibatan antarabangsa selepas perang dunia ke-dua, dengan bangganya Malaysia dianugerahi kepercayaan dari semua negara untuk mengamankan dunia melalui Pertubuhan Bangsa-bangsa Bersatu ataupun United Nations tidak juga lupa kepada Non-Alligned Movement (NAM), Negara-negara berkecuali. Antara usaha-usaha yang seharusnya dihargai sehingga kini seperti pada tahun 1989, Malaysia dipilih untuk mewakili pasukan pengaman PBB ke Namibia bagi membantu negara itu mencapai kemerdekaan, menghantar pemerhati ketika menyelesaikan perang saudara di Kampuchea, Malaysia lantang bersuara menentang Dasar Apartied di Afrika Selatan dan juga menganjurkan persidangan antarabangsa menyelesaikan masalah Palestin semuanya di bawah pimpinan unggul Tun.

Begitu masyhur nama Malaysia di persada dunia, ada juga musibah yang menimpa. Kegawatan ekonomi telah melanda hampir seluruh dunia. Malaysia turut menghadapi cabaran tersebut. Tun mampu mengawal kegawatan ekonomi dengan memambat Ringgit kepada Dolar Amerika. Tindakan Tun mendapat kritikan hebat pada mulanya daripada International Monetary Fund (IMF). Walau apa jua keadaan, Tun masih berpegang teguh kepada prinsipnya, dan berjaya melepaskan Malaysia daripada belenggu kegawatan ekonomi dunia dalam masa yang singkat dan berkesan tanpa perlu mengikat kepada syarat-syarat yang ditentukan oleh IMF seperti negara asia lain. Pengurus Besar IMF, Host Kohler, memuji pula tindakan Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Ini membawa kepada penerbitan nama beliau di majalah Asiaweek sebagai antara 50 individu yang paling berkuasa di Asia. Apa yang menakjubkan lagi, Tun berjaya menduduki tempat kedua dalam senarai tersebut. Mungkin, saudara-saudari, ini boleh dijadikan inspirasi dalam menentang krisis ekonomi hari ini.

Kita juga tidak akan lupakan kejayaan kita dalam Sukan Komanwel yang masih bergema.
Kini "Standing In The Eyes Of The World"Hanyalah selangkah dari nyataKeazaman membara di jiwaMenanti saat bebas merdekaTiba masa kau melangkah gagahBersemangat ke arah matlamat sedaya upayaEngkau terunggulWajar "Standing In The Eyes Of The World"

Ke arah globalisasi pula, tercetusnya projek mega Malaysia, Projek Koridor Raya Multimedia (MSC) yang bertujuan menjadikan Malaysia pusat eksperimen pembangunan prasarana multimedia yang terunggul di dunia. MSC akan menggabungkan semua ruanglinkup industri teknologi maklumat dalam sebuah persekitaran yang khusus buatnya. Sehubungan itu sebuah bandar ultra-tekno 'Cyberjaya' dibina dan bakal menjadi satu-satunya bandar siber dunia. Ini akan menjadi pemangkin kepada perlaksanaan sekolah bestari, tele-perubatan, kad pintar, pusat pemasaran tanpa bersempadanan serta pusat pengeluar web sedunia. Projek-projek besar yang dibangunkan dan direalisasikan semasa pentadbiran beliau antaranya ialah Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur (KLIA), Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil, Litar Antarabangsa Sepang, tempat perlumbaan sukan permotoran berprestij Formula One dan Menara Berkembar Petronas(KLCC). Projek-projek ini secara tidak langsung berjaya meletakkan Malaysia sebagai sebuah negara sedang membangun yang dikenali dunia.

Keranamu, Tun Mahathir, kesinambungan sempurna dari titik peluh perdana-perdana menteri yang sebelumnya, dalam merealisasikan perhubungan Malaysia dengan dunia dan tidak akan kami lupakan atau hampakan visi dan misimu. Negara Malaysia bagaikan syurga jika dijaga rapi nama baiknya oleh siapa lagi jika bukan anak-anaknya, kita semua.

(Syair)
Jika kita sanggup menempuhi,
Dengan kesabaran tanpa berahi,
Malaysia mampu melahirkan generasi,
Yang dibanggakan tiada luputnya patriotisme dan tradisi..

thinking cap

2009-04-19T00:40:00.000-07:00

now how often do we have magical moments with the thinking cap. doesn't come as wished, i reckon. it takes THEEEEEE spark, that light bulb, the coincident timing that comes along with a snapping finger and a confident "AAAHH HA!"

i brainstorm til penat already i tell you but you can't question life on that. you have to think for as long as you live. with that, i have some personal and preferred tips on effective thinking-capping. this is for people who need to come up with a good paper, proposal, creative thinking on events what nots, text, script, etc.

1) Don't be shy to be seated alone in public. Learn how to have time alone independently.
2) Have stationaries and an awesome notepad that you know-for-sure are your lucky charms. (my that special pen just died on me a few mins ago. stupid)
3) Music accompanied by good coffee -don't gulp, sip em up, take your time. and if you're a smoker, of course, smoke.
4) Have very good visualization. Have pictures on what and how it ought to happen.
5) Set targets and develop on them step by step (not to rush all in-a-go, make it happen phase by phase)
6) When you're at home, wash your face and stretch the entire body before you're at it.
7) You can even do it while ironing/jogging at a park. Lil voice in the head is NOT scary, it's helping you generate ideas due to time constraint.
8) Be alone all the time and u'll be cuckoo. Do choose people you want to work with.
9) Read more, even the most trivial corners of a newspaper or mag, take note of it.
10) In the end, always reward yourself.

In a few mins time, will i get out and put on that thinking cap for a project -luckily enough with someone i REALLY can work with. ok let me creep you out. it's an all Bahasa Melayu project. hehe. don't think you ever want to touch BM language after form 5.

i love my weekend! though i don't get to laze around like how i'd like it..

1) Suba finally meets Mr. Wong. preview : upcoming Pengisahan Kenegaraan competition.
2) Work starts at TARC's Music Society revival. Society day!! 20th May!
3) I eat out practically everyday, went shopping for my fav things and now I'm broke but happy.
4) Hair is kinda brown red now! and shorter! =D

5) Last but not least..Amanda's almost 21st Birthday Partayyy......

cherry's geisha look..okok on our way.

secret revealed! lewie is wearing braces now!! and she refused to show it! she looks super adorable lo ok!

You're charming, you have lots to offer so alwaysss be only positive now on. Take advantage of life yet always be humble, my dear friend.

months ago pic, but the thoughts that count ya! ;) see u tomorrow at meeting.. haha wth..

My friends and i? Young and inspired?

2009-04-12T07:56:00.000-07:00

Ask yourself, are you young and inspired?

When we’re older, do we really wana question ourselves “dayymn time flies, what the hell have I done/accomplished when I was in my 20s weh, them times when I was still energetic , free, on-the-go?” you might say : ok lar, had a time of my life lar, partied hard lar. Or did you mean totally wasting ur time and money. Hmm or parents’ money? Okok I know some of you earn, so u deserve some partying then. Those throwing parents’ stash away? Two words for them. Lucky bastards!!

The fact that we are at our baby steps of being in our 20s (note that most of us are not 21 yet eh friends), and that at this age I’m already starting to feel I don’t have that energy no more, is my blardy concern now!!

What seems like a ripe age of 20+ to you, aint to me ok. It’s funny, it could be the lifestyle, the technology, the environment whatever. I just feel tired so often recently with sufficient food and sleep, that is. With that, it occurred to me that we should truly utilise our strengths and talents, play with luck and some money for the future while the fire in us sustains/still can tahan. If old already then only regret how? As much as this sounds like an aunty advice for you, this can just mean that you want to avoid (tak sedar diri weh, dah besar panjang ok?) or trust me, you’ll be shit worried in years to come.

Why do I suddenly bring this up anyway? Reading newspapers, how times are bad and that many of graduates are bumming, with no work. Reading books, people who are confident even after a downfall. My family background, forces me to make my own plans and actually, many many backup plans (shite). Xandria Ooi, whom I get annoyed at the sight and sound of it and she now owns a tv production and book. My sister, who has recently switched jobs and at the same time, is working hard at being an insurance agent (way to go sis!). My lovely gfs, who are working on their online biz (very impressive!) and many others who inspire me.

What do you take in? from your social sphere? To wander or to wonder?

I’ve been thinking. And I’d like to give it a shot. As time is running against us, to multitask at this age, maybe become a tutor to kids, sell something funky online, whatever possible opportunity. Virtual communication is God, I tell you we totally can do so much with it! like, communicate! and the wonders of communication these days! Let's do the most meaningful and interesting things, convey to the world together using our creative minds! I might not be hitting the clubs and hooking up as much, in my case, I want to be young and inspired. Could I? be Young and Inspiring?

Cherry’s quick updates:
1) I’m officially using nokia5800 xpressmusic that I’ve won in a coca-cola’s contest. For a girl who will never win in a lucky draw, this is big deal k!
2) Lionel boy has my old hp and is a digi user now. Kids,kids..
3) In desperate need to cut hair, go to the doc and dentist but can’t just yet sigh.
4) Made some enemies at workplace (there WILL be some weirdos after all).
5) I’ve been jittery, jumpy and having this constant headache-might be due to coffee.
6) But coffee has its ways to soothe my soul..
7) 5 more weeks and I’ll have to say goodbye to Philips. I don’t feel like going back to campus life. Oh no!! what’s wrong with me! Make me love college back, someone. Even the thought of Mr. Wong isn’t helping! eew cherry haha..i sound so..
8) Personally think ppl should give Najib a chance.
9) I'm now a member of TARC's music society, Emilio..u so owe me big time.

Philips – AT&T Williams partnership press conference (some photos to share out of a thousand of photos hehe..)

Concept is simple, to use Philips ActiViva lights, sound theraphy and healthy kitchen appliances altogether, also what we call an Immersive Experience and Healthy Cooking to combat jetlag for F1 drivers. Though only commited to lil responsibilities here and there, it was a good exposure for me as an intern. No, really!

sorry lah spamming you with photos. nites!

Updates are hardly going daily lately

2009-04-04T12:48:00.000-07:00

Oooohmg you can just ignore my previous posts (deleted them), total lameness. I guess this is what happens when I get run over by emotions. But not anymore, now not like that k! takut nanti I eventually end up like someone (psst, linked that person under a special category –just!) so self indulgence and know it all punya species! But really, wtf was i…? ok dah, dah delete so shut up.

Reminiscing –it’s like my new hobby I can do it like for the whole day cos it gets me wiggly and happy and sometimes sad YET glad..ohh slap u if u say im getting old. Can’t blame me, lately with lots of cleaning, I bump into the most far away from thoughts for a while things. Also when catching up with old friends, those back then funny embarrassing or proud moments make you sigh at those tingling feeling you know! It’s amazing how those memories retain for so long and when you flashback, the exact same picture and that every story has its lessons. Let me just tell you for I have lived 20 dramatic years – so far, every episode means a lot to me. Childhood under good hands of grandma’s in sentul, MGS primary and secondary, TAR College and now Philips, oh wait what about..cembroi, mombai fashion, bakeroni, primetrica, indi and allen, enviro concerns and others. I sure love all the good times and shit times! And I’m always ready to make new memories. Omg omg am I allowed to write a ‘book’, starting from the very first memory I have as a child and the whole growing up thing. Ok, not for an audience, but just for….ok I don’t know for who but the thought of it feels quite fun.

Cleaning – it has always been a hobby everyone but my family knows. Family will never believe I love cleaning. OMG I CAN’T BELIEVE I HAVE OVER-BOUGHT THINGS and haven’t used them. Pls don’t kill me when I honestly tell you I have 20+ over notebooks of all sizes of to-do-lists and notes and scribbles (of around 2 yrs’) ok that, I need to change. I have thrown away what looked like two big bags. That one is for throwing another one or two more heavy stacks and stacks to recycle. And a few more bags, to donate and im going to continue tomorrow, hopefully will finish by over the weekdays, by next weekend (arrrgh can’t wait!)
What I’ve been up to, here and there.

to chill out is key

2009-03-27T22:50:00.000-07:00

Yoooooooohooooo sorry I’ve been slacking sharing my stories online.

I’ve been having so much of time for myself lately and I just love it! Be it getting engrossed into a book tuck under my comforter, going shopping, sitting at cafes by myself, going to bookstores, strolling at a park, to chill out is key. I’ve learnt. Trust me, it’s not stupid or sad to do these things alone, you might want to try someday!

To balance it out, I need to be around people every now and then. I enjoy catching up! Especially with whoelse if not the girls, the college bitches, old time friends, new friends and the whole world! And a lil idea of getting family oriented. Yes with my family too.

As I’m typing away, sippin cherry coffee specialty..i’m very thankful to have gone through shite troubles to be who I am today.

Ok enough of that crap. Have a quick scroll to what I’ve done lately! ;)

my random petaling street dinner.

how cute! town hall meeting at hilton, PJ. I enjoyed listening closely and that's the day I decided to myself, the Philips CEO is full of wit, charm and poise. ahhh.. :)

small world after all. Philips roadshow at TV3's staff sale, an opportunity to see Alvin and Li May, the most hardworking interns in 8TV ;)

for show. HAHA! li mayyyy thanks for acting as my customer HAHA!

thank you for all the food and fun, bosses and supervisors of Philips. It's impossible to go on diet following you guys.

omg it wasss freshly fleshy slurp!

as I remember, this is still the beginning. plates were taken away, and put on the table at the same time!

and Jeanette told me, "enjoy while you can". she's so lovely.

panasonic's revolution 09 giant roadshow (cheh wah competitor, competitor). they have this 8.8mm slim tv.

i kid you not.

the boss i love oh very much!

us walking toward the giant entertainment truck. crazy shite. panasonic really has the money to these stuff. let me repeat, they really have THA MONAY.

digital camera image media event at MVEC

and it's friday night! wooot!

yours truly! haha ya don't potong stim, not clubbing or anything. yumcha sessions are even nicer to me! =)

leddy

lewie

lingy

not the complete circle of girls :( but we sure didn't have enough of each other! sat through empty drinks til 3am and we're meeting up again tomorrow! yay! to the movies and more talking! =D

it's getting really awkward to think we're 21 because it feels completely right to be seventeen or eighteen. to prove us wrong sometimes, our memory today sucks, we can't remember correctly anymore. and it's such a wonder many things i was sure i haven't told the girls in person, they already know, that's me actually forgetting that with the help of my blog and facebook, my friends are already updated so i don't have to do the talking. funny how times have changed. i love you girls!

cherry's rare random post

2009-03-18T03:42:00.000-07:00

true enough on a monthly basis curse, I fall sick :( I'm not sure why or how. whatever. i love my life now, so it's ok.

i still love zac efron very the much!

for quite the first time, it's not boring Vanessa, it's some other chick with exposed nipple.

teman i cuci mata...i don't care if people think he's gay.

is CK ad always this hawt!!! ark!

if it wasn't for his big brown eyes.

2009-03-17T04:53:00.000-07:00

And now Cherry has found yet another complicated handsome guy who complicates her head and heart.

The more she tells herself to not look at his table, the more she just wants to.

The more she feels it's time to get out of it, the more she feels like getting involved.

I am both ready and not ready to accept the truth.

sigh, if it wasn't for his big brown eyes.

that mezmerize me.

Cherry can get really bitchy.

2009-03-16T05:07:00.000-07:00

Pls click to view, sorry tried uploading larger but can’t. but if u click, you will be able to view ok?

Nuff said. I’m like that when people say ridiculous things/insult others’ accomplishment.

Sorry for showing the other side of me.

Let's talk about something happy..

Today's the 16th, lil did we even notice, it is our First monthsary being an Intern at our respective organizations. My friends, fret not, good or bad, it will be paid off! (not monetarily speaking though oops..) so far, if you ask (do u even have to ask) how am i doing at PHILIPS, I'll show you two thumbs up and nod my head in disbelief!

Cheers, all the best guys!

OUR JEFFREYYY TURNS TWENTEYYYY <3

2009-03-14T03:26:00.000-07:00

After much communication while juggling with work, we’ve finally put together a sweet birthday eve night out for darling Jeffrey who finally no longer is a teenager! It was an outing to remember because everyone has every little thing to share and update, it was noisy and a mess! Heads turning, voices across the table, trying to cope with camwhoring and gossiping. We’ve not seen each other for THAT long u see. But it felt really nice, something I was looking forward to through the weekdays.

Jeffrey is this lovable cuckoo thing and we have the weirdest relationship/ or we’d call it fucked up bloodline in the family hahahaha. I obviously started off being his mama. Sometimes I’m his chick/sister/BFF and yeah we exchange roles with Sabina, Alvin..ok too much of explanation here. We just need variety in life. Ahhaha!

Here’s to good times! I’m thankful to have known Jeffrey. Cheers year 2006 until now.

when we first met aaawww..ah gooood times! when i was jeffrey's mother in the play.

Today in action...

this is our designer, Sabina Wong La Bitch..

Jeffrey La Bitch! woooot!

Jeffrey's having it now!! yay!

see? i too have one! my 2008 bday pressie from Sab, the best! don't have a pic of Alvin's though.

HITTING THE BIG TWO-0! happy birthday jeffrey!

look at him aaww birthday boy..

cake masuk hidung ke? our bigmouth competition..

contestant #2 trying her best!

ok, i'm not good enough.

inilah pemenangnya!

i've been missing Alvin whose face i see almost every morning and every night- the previous semesters. aaawww..

my boyyyss ;)

going shopping shot.

couple shot.

cutie pies.

fierce is a must!

awww how sweet!

sister shot!

B7-ers at heart!

hahaha dramatic! i love it!

all of us who love jeffrey!

Contemplating wana go dancing/singing..even had a thought to go Genting? After considering that we have both sick and broke people in the gang, going for a movie was a brilliant plan! (cherry pandai lahhh!)

GOKU!!! ok need to google what's this actor's name. haha i dont even know.

Dragonball Evolution! It was entertaining, rather amusing. Sabina and I somehow really had lots of comments on and off the movie! Hahahha! Jahat!Currently uploading party photos on FB..still thinking who to tag as who on that Dragonball poster HAHAHHA.

HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY JEFFREY DARLING. YOU KNOW WE’LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!

Salam mesra semua...

2009-03-13T02:40:00.000-07:00

Hehe. I think I was nervous lor during meeting with Karangkraf Branding Dept people. Interesting, passionate people lar I must say. And thanks to Supervisor Jeff for backing me up so much. Pamper your Mum day, my very project, you determine my capability! *fingers crossed*

I was clearing my table today and I have to admit to be really proud of myself, I loved my own work (tsk tsk since when I became this narcissist) hope you don’t get me wrong, I’m just really excited that I’ve been doing a pretty good pro job and really wanna continue with it, or do even better.

Internship journey sure is AWESOME for me. I’m starting to feeeel really comfortable as if I’m a staff and hey progress! : I don’t feel shy going into the pantry anymore and I don’t hold back and there is no hesitation whatsoever being an intern. I’ve unleashed the true cherry and they seem to be ok with it. Then ok lah! Adaption? CHECKED!

Like I got this for free, I'm not even supposed to have it but again, Philips is so nice. Let me just tell you I have issues with formal wear. I hate formal wear! especially when i have problems with buttons. here, perfectly fits me. =)

Ok lah, weekend is here, my energy level is going DOWWwwn. Gtg.

Crusing through...

2009-03-12T02:24:00.000-07:00

Yes! I have finally experienced the cruise I’ve been mentioning! It is organized for PHILIPS promoters as an incentive - happy happy thing, how nice eh. Breaks into two sessions where one is for CE (Consumer Electronics) promoters and another which is today’s DAP (Domestic Appliances and Personal Care) promoters..phew. And what the hell was I doing there? Tag along lah, intern what..haha. obviously because my boss loves me so much I was asked to join lo (perasan weh). It was a mini yet pretty enjoyable cruise lah, too bad it had to rain or we’d truly enjoy it. Camwhored nonetheless haha and I must say I’ve bonded with the ladies ah how memorable. Enjoy some pictures!

and he won the 32" LCD TV lucky guy..

Maybe I’ve bragged too much about being in PHILIPS, most of my friends already know that I’m having a fab time here and hey indeed I still am having a blast, I have not screwed up (choyyyy) , no one has scolded me and hitting a month I still don’t feel stressed (dei memang ada kerja buat lah), and I still erm, don’t, really, pay for my meal(s). I’ll really miss my experience here in PHILIPS when I leave, a time I really enjoy at work like never before (office work somemore weh). It is my honour to have met this company and its good people in it *emo*…..

How would you feeeeel if you MISS THAT CHANCE!! Whyyyy oh whyyy do I freaking live nestled amidst them betrayal trees that stopped me from receiving calls and smses…like ok imagine ok, this guy you really like asked if you wanna go for u a drink, tried calling, you have no friggin idea until when you wana go to bed, the reports of missed calls and THAT SMS of 9-ish pm came to you only hours later AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGHH. Me and my coulda shoulda woulda.

*SAT SEI NGO LARRR* (in Cantonese)

Yayyyy blogging in public!

2009-03-11T07:40:00.000-07:00

Nothing like looking really busy at a “café” right? Acting busy lah konon. I now need to go out to look for wifi place and it’s really ok, I have better time management and I look way cooler this way. And I really have no time and energy to think of diplomatic ways to deal with people, what’s the point.

Today my feet hurt like a bitch! (shoes yesterday?) but I need to wear back tomorrow lar how..

Basically today I observed people screwing up big time and getting screwed pun ada and deep in my heart tsk tsk tsk how could you do such a mistake. Like seriously, it couldn’t have been easier lah dei if you..didnt..screw up. Ok lah that’s beyond the point. It’s kinda hard to blog while talking to your dear friend (Suba says hi) and eavesdropping on other’s conversations.

Justsoyouknow..

Faisal and I went to Joyce’s company for a briefing on emceeing for a formal event and it went on great and bumped into a really charming ladies’ man ;) Joyce don’t kill me sorry lah your boss really has that aura ma! and I’d be happily psyched if I could see him again very the sooooon! Omg and jungle trekking this Saturday!! that’s hot! Okokok cherry relax. In Cantonese they say got “lam yan mei”!

Faisal and i in Joyce-drift-queen's Merc. fuyoooh. we can't wait to make some monnayyy..

I need to chow already weh. Not used to doing this. Yet.

The thought of 10th march…

2009-03-10T18:50:00.000-07:00

makes me wanaa die!! for a very long time already I was only nervous about the release of results!

Because..

I was playful during the exams, I was so foolishly smittened by a boy’s words and sweet nothings. Attitude like in high school, I was too excited about everything, couldn’t sleep, couldn’t eat and I even had Alvin shouting at me “Kam Shin Ling, what time now, eat ur food lah” from above Feelings Café stairs (it was just mins away from PR Theories exam) and I remember my spaghetti was served an hour before that but I ran downstairs to talk (I can see Sabina going “ya ya ya I remember!). and the night before? I was soo stupid that I was on msn with him til around 3am and that’s when I haven’t touched my notes. Which 21 yr old would do that weh, I admit..i was totally naive.

Don’t only blame the past lah cherry, besides that, I also memang didn’t like Statistics subject because I’m not good at it haha.
But above all that….I thankkkk God you protected me and I believe you have forgiven my stupidity.

I PASSED MY 2ND SEM OF ADVANCED DIPLOMA (not with flying colors though) WHEN I WAS LITERALLY EXPECTING TO FLUNK ONE OR TWO.

This is worth celebrating because I AM SO RELIEVED!! Congratulations to all of my buddies in college, you guys I guess, also in my situation..thinking u’d resit (choyy) but good that we’re happy now. Singing dancing eating bila woii…

This is the issue with me you see…previously I was sooooo bummed because everyone else did way better than me and my cgpa was low and all that. Then I promised myself many things. And came the 2nd semester, I definitely didn’t remember the many things I promised myself, didn’t work hard and got fucking distracted with personal problems (aiya you know what they are lah). Eh I should use less of F word. Sorry, comes out very naturally. Especially these days.

My shoe-shi theraphy...

Really made me feel better, sushi to swallow up and new shoes to slip on.

I don’t know if this is good or bad news, but after all the hoo-hah,

What’s ‘uncomfortably mine’.

What hoo-hah u ask? Sigh lazy want to tell the world.

My wanna weekend

2009-03-09T01:30:00.000-07:00

I had to say “cherrydaily” lah? die means must update lots weh! Padan muka..

I just need to laze around a lil more then it’s going back to working class mode again! Yay!! So weird, I’m almost workaholic. I get really restless “not doing anything” justsoyouknow. I loveee lack of sleep, pounding heartbeat and lots of work piling in front of me omg really freaky but typically me. The stress gets me high!

To wrap it up, have I fulfilled my hopeful to-do-list over the wanna weekend? Haha NO! have I ever lah. Cheh.

I’ve been..spending them stash away on food and family.

omg lionel!! stop eating!!

Heyy..i’m also dedicated to a ‘comeback’..

..and i've been buying lil surprises for myself too! omg that just sounds really saddd.

Unexpectedly..we sisters were on our way from college(ya I miss college,truly) to mv for brunch and facial and well that can’t happen cos on Mahameru, turning down to federal highway, a taxi driver couldn’t decide to go left/right then the car in front of us braked very the suddenly, sis brake tak cukup and banged. Fucked.

As u might have read on FB, also unexpectedly..dinner with the whole family (where grown up cherry girl will treat) tak jadi because of stooooopid communication barrier in the family. Wtf. Book place and all already ok. Potong la really potong.

Lately I have people questioning my love life cos apparently it’s vague. (I thought I blogged about the end of Mr. Darcy?) ya but can’t expect everyone to read my blog also lah. Whatever it is, I must say I love you my dear loyal friends, you stood by me, you have ur public hate post on my behalf, think that he doesn’t even qualify for me, some think he’s an asshole but chill lah alright. It’s very very strange but I can’t be mad at him I don’t know why!(I find it soo hard to delete the pic I was tagged on his chest haha and the pic of his room door, I liked those times!) Though I’ve already deleted him off msn and FB lah. Ok whatever, reformat cherry just reformat!

Nampaknya this is how my weekend was, of silly thoughts.

Ok..time to do some silly work to impress my boss tomorrow =D

..or impress him. OK! too much information...;)

PHILIPS photos and more!

2009-03-08T08:50:00.001-07:00

Tomorrow’s the very reason I procrastinate! (same for u lah just admit) Happy holidays all! And happy Awal Muharram to my Muslim friends. If not, tomorrow’s actually the 4th week for us TARCians battling in internship (wow), and die, Tuesday’s results day, thank you lah.

Speaking of internship, I haven’t really shown you my tempat duduk eh?

So far being in Philips Malaysia is stress-free (not like I sit down shake legs lah) but hey really I love the environment and organization’s culture rocks! And sorry pls. don’t be too jealous when I say up to date, my boss/supervisors still pay for my meal. Like hello I’m superpaiseh ok. I’m finding my way to paying someday k but most of the time, failed! They are the sweetest! When it’s work, they guide me best. When it’s lunch/out of office, they tease me best. Omg lah I’m like having a time of my life. With a boss trying to matchmake me (thank you!! haha), on the other hand, with one of my supervisors harassing me (I want to slap him so bad) gosh I love the drama!. And for the other good people in Philips, though not under them, they can really make my day.

Jeanette my boss gosh she’s supernice to me! At a personal level even, we share a lot. She makes me LOL in public, like damn kuat ok so embarrassing, hits me in my head, randomly smses me, sends me cute emails and noo I’m not taking advantage of this, I will do anything for her really!

Enjoy the photos yes you won’t see cherry in any of it. Though under our assessment photo taking with our face being in there (chances of faking our work, that is), is very much required, I am not going to have my face in a photo by simply asking my superiors to make the effort to take nice shots of me when I’m not really working. When am I really working? I am only really working when I don’t even have time to think about taking photos of myself during work. Get it? No posing is allowed? Why I think you’re asking us to pose already (think kerja amal moral during SPM). PR in my very opinion is not diplomacy. Diplomacy is just a better word for hypocrisy. Thank you.

I will however, some day in these 3 months, take some photos, only with one condition of my own. It has to be a total candid shot and that I was really working hard at that moment. Ok? Question is, who’s going to take it? Negotiate with someone who’s busy to do it? So. very. lame. Yes I do have issues.

some of my materials at work. PR toolkit.

TA-DA! i will spring clean when i get back on tuesday haha. and we do a before-after piece k!

aaawww see cherry at work.

full view of my place, sharing with kent my supervisor (he's such a nice person, got gf already though) tsk. haha obviously am just kidding because.........*shys away*

my left side view, my perfect view ;) boss' room is at the right side of the giant poster.

my front view where my neighbour facing me is Philip (from Philips) haha.

PHILIPS core values.

this is the coffee machine i want to own! hehe love the pantry though still very shy to go in there.

checking through draft brochures for spelling mistakes before printing.

DIGI staff sale cum PHILIPS roadshow at Lot 10 Digi, Shah Alam.

Best Denki Electrical Fair cum PHILIPS roadshow at 1U.

see? all of the photos without me being in it. why? because only an intern is most suitable to be the photographer, not the boss.

but my boss actually asked "eh eh how ar want me to take picture of you now?"

though very touched by her i replied "hey no it's ok jeanette"

jeanette: whyy?

cherry: i'm doing so little here, not like i'm working very hard that's worth a photo, it's ok.

..canyouseethepicturenow...

Being in Trade Marketing Dept (similar to Marketing Communication) rocks! I was allowed to give input, asked for ideas and suggestions on how PR can play a role for PHILIPS wah damn syiok! Though I’m not as lucky as my friends learning from PR firms, I believe I’m blessed being here in Philips meeting the best bosses and supervisors! I’ll make the most out of it! For some reasons actually, I don’t feel like doing pure PR thing anymore.

I’m also happy for my friends who are doing very well at their internship placement kudos, keep it up and keep in touch! =)

One of the best examples, Zheng Guan whose name I now very often see on The Star.

Oops but..
I hate to break this to some of you but the wrong usage of Internship begins to frustrate me a little so let me TRY to put this to a stop K.

Intern – It means the person undergoing Internship
Interns – More than one intern
Internship – It means the Industrial training.

So pls stop calling yourself “interns” when you’re only one person; ask me cherry, how is your “intern” when I am in no position to train anyone yet and your experience now is called internship not intern.

Ok I feel better.

Perfect weekend closure <3 (my freaking long post)

2009-03-02T05:03:00.000-08:00

Hello world! Oh I have to agree with that. I had a blast over the weekend and trust me, this one is rather memorable! It was my LAST session (6 altogether) with the LAST batch of Talisman oilrig men where I was only with the 1st, 5th and 6th how sad I had to be replaced for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th it’ll be cool to literally know almost all of them heh. But it’s alright, at least my sis, Amanda and Tasya were able to experience it =).

When I say oilrig men sounds pretty intimidating huh? When Bart was discussing with me last year, I was picturing dirty sweaty shouting men, maybe horny but ya horny remains to be true HAHAHA no offence. Oh are they the nicest people I’ve ever worked with. They are lively, crazzzy in the head and sorry to say I’d prefer them over office people when it comes to teambuilding programmes. They damn cool! I dare say I’m starting to meet lots of people especially year 2009 and it’s great when you have variety as adaption switches itself in funny ways. Talisman Malaysia Limited is by far, one of my best moments early this year.

It’s not only the client I’ll deeply miss. The beautiful Coutryview Recreation Park(CRP) takes my breath away with the ever helpful owner Mr. Lee and his team always making it like a home for us. The animals, adventurous stuff I just love it! I’m so used to every person and animal there it’s like I’m part of CRP. I remember on my last morning, literally just off the bed with messy hair, unwashed face, super short shorts under oversized t-shirt, I dragged my feet to the restaurant, yawning without manners and treated the kitchen like my own, had to make coffee for me, bart and suba (our routine) and to my horror, ALL of the client were already having their breakfast there (it was 7am, they were supposed to start at 7.30am). Usual lah they went all aawww cherry/phewit cherry and I just gave them to talk to the hand sign (actually damn fucking malu deep inside). Haha but I love it there =)

First batch flash back - close to my heart!

Fifth batch my flash back - vacation despite I fell pretty ill!
*waiting for pics from Nada*

Sixth batch flash back - the one I’m most involved with!

It takes a lot people of to come together to organize such a smooth sailing programme for around 240 hardcore men.

First of all, the main bosses to thank :

Thank you of Bart, the trainer of all corporate trainings and teambuilding programmes. I know how much you want me to address you as a big bro rather than a dad BWAHAHAHA. Now anyone who knows me knows that you are one hella cool boss and even at a personal level, good friend of cherry’s. I appreciate all of our pillow talk sessions, the beers and meals you spend on me, the times you were willing to listen and actually take whatever I say seriously, you inspire me in ways you can’t imagine. Because of you, I begin to look very highly of myself. Much love!

Thank you of course, Andrew who pays my salary haha but yes I enjoy our every conversation. Good news is I’m not afraid of you anymore haha always thought you were too poweful for me haha. Thank you for never being mad at me when I make mistakes, and you are such a sweet sweet boss, we could chit chat the whole night I guess. Maybe one day ey, take care Andrew pls get more sleep whenever you can.

Thank you Paul the other big boss. Though we’ve only met maybe less than 5 times?, I adore you oh so much I find you so adorable and direct and love ur in ur face jokes. Take care there in Holland and can’t wait for our gathering. Hearts!

For you guys mean much more to me day by day, programme after programme.

Also big thanks to us the facilitators that consist of my closest friends, we totally rock big time! Hope you guys had fun!

*Group pic of us soon at our upcoming gathering!*

When we arrived, I felt only good vibes. I remember telling myself, I truly wana make the most out of this programme, be as involved as I can. And I did. The client, they were being too sweet. And they are all very funny!

As the first day for Talisman programme would be four wheel drive where I can’t attend due to internship and all that, well it was only thrilling and hardcore all the way because of Mr. Nasir and his wife Eliza, who are Andrew’s friends. They are damn great people because they’d wait for me and Suba to travel all the way to Commonwealth Park, Rawang on the first night. They’d wait patiently for us, then we’d go for STIM BURGER! The famous tasty healthy burger! It was a boring routine after frigging 5 times for them, we went to Kopi Street instead and that was our farewell supper with them awww...

We managed a reasonable pillow talk then Bart was too tired, we girls carried on til 2-3am haha.

On the very next day, we take off to Pahang.

Our VIP arrival has to be welcomed by the ever famous Mr. Lee's curry puffs! I took 4, don't tell anyone. haha.

VERY IMPORTANTLY, we need to go have a look at our children first.

Lionel saw this pic and photo captioned it : barnyard. HAHAHAha

aaaawww my cute animals!

gooood alicia.

quackyyy

suba got kicked after that.

Highlight of THE DAY is definitely rafting where Bart wanted to make a twist for the final batch. The guys will build their own raft and those rafts with 9 members only have to drag us girls safely til the end while we’ll be sitting on tubes. THAT WAS SO DE-STRESSING OK!

full prep!

girls just wanna have fun.

interesting car eh. damn cute!

let the wind blow ur mind.

ahhh! that cute guy joined us! =D his name is iskandar, he made my weeekend!

orgasmic for Suba..

I remember throwing myself on the ground, crawling in bushes, and having trouble breathing in the mask, also fucking fogged it up couldn’t see shit, ah the adrenaline rush.

I'll beat you flat bitch. You think? Yeah. Bring it on.

2009-02-24T05:12:00.000-08:00

And I thought I was feeling better. Sudden current of shiver and fever at work half way and thank god for the employee-friendly pantry a cup of hot milo instantly at reach! Like, a button away numsayin, damn cool machine I wana have one in my kitchen in the future. OMG I hate to say this but for the first time (so far) my day was very bad at PHILIPS for some reasons I feel kinda lonely cos im more on my own now. Or is that actually good? Don’t know..=(

Good or not, at least I’m not in the worst situation lah. 2nd week of internship and now I start receiving whines and cries from my fellow internmates, I do feel very bad for them cos it could have been me working like a donkeeee, if I stayed loyal to what u call a PR FIRM. Gosh the sound of it makes me go really crazy (ttyl about that).

So my friends are quite emotionally strained by the sound of it: these are examples of rants via msn (right this moment like mins away), I choose to protect their names lah.

PROFESSIONALISM 101 ?!?!?

The expertness characteristic they say. I say, reflect yourself first thank you. When you are not even close to a good example anymore, why bother tell people to LEARN being professional or have professional demands of others. Ok let me just get this straight, people who are so called professional don’t know how to look after their own asses and faces. Many issues got me uptight obviously.

Case #1: Someone whom I respected all along has lost my respect for him today. This is for not being able to defend someone so dear to you in a situation so true, you were not on my side, you didn’t trust me, the one you should protect is cherry and not them good-for-nothing brown nosers. The way u make me feel is a total reflection of your professionalism.

Case#2:My sister works in a terrible company lately and I’m so glad she’s leaving and that they are losing her soon! and the so called Business Development Manager needs to go loan some brains to give tips on how to do sales. I’d know how to give pointers. Asshole company made people stay back til 6freaking am, fine that’s an understatement, make that 11am THE VERY NEXT DAY just to label stickers on items wtf. And recently(like right this moment) made her go all the way to penang to be an event coordinator when that is totally out of her jobscope and she’s still doing it. I’d walk out immediately.

Case#3: My brother’s class teacher who dances, eraser-fights, throws tantrums, throws textbooks and sleeps in class. OMG WHAT’S HAPPENING TO THE WORLD. And I always looked up to the profession of a teacher.

Case#4: Companies that make their interns go on OT, you suck so fucking much.
