Friends' List..

When I started writing this post, there was a question inside my head 

"Can you count how many friends you have?"

If I were younger, I would definitely answer yes to this question. But yesterday, when I ran into my three of my four closest friends during my first year in university, I began to wonder, why did I neglected them? Why our friendship were merely hi and goodbye lately? Why did I let myself to be controlled by circumstances and just let them go because we didn't take the same papers lately? I felt like such a bad friend. I felt like instead of being friends, we became more like acquaintences lately and I really didn't want that to happen. I still want our friendship to go on and strong because they are really good people and I should give them what they deserved from me, which is a quality time together.

What's a friend?

According to Dictionary.com, a friend is a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard. 

I still remember when I was still in my primary school, I would list down my friends' name and decorated it. The list will consist of almost all the girls' name in my class. That time, to me, the definition of friend was simple. A friend to me, means someone you know and whom you did not fight with. How innocent of us kids back then hehe.

When I entered high school, I entered the smartest class for Bahasa Melayu Medium though I didn't get straight As. So I felt like the underdog firstly because I personally think that I didn't fit in the smart category and I was a very timid girl. I didn't know how to converse in Mandarin back then because in my primary school, we just conversed in my mother tongue, my dialect, which is Hokkien.

It was during high school I always felt very lonely because I only talk to people when they were the one who started the conversations. It was because I was too self-conscious and afraid I might be laughed at for speaking Mandarin inaccurately. So I would do anything just to gain friends - I became the delivery girl by helping my classmates to buy food from the canteen though sometimes I didn't intend to go to the canteen. A small thank you made my day, I felt appreciated, but there were times when I bought things wrongly and got dissatisfied remarks.

During that lonely period of my afternoon session moment in high school, I would list down the number of friends I had in my diary. I became more critical about the definition of a friend, and the list was very short, because there were only a few who was close to me and was kind to me that time. But still, I was sure, somehow someday, I would get out of my shell and be more approachable towards other people. 

But that didn't happen during my high school, because all through high school, whenever I tried to come out of my shell, there were always obstacles from a different level coming for me. I was frustrated with studying life. Because of that, I was finally comfortable with my anti-social attitude and I told my mom I wanted to work right away after Form 5, but well, as you can see, that did not happen. I continued with Form 6. Though I still speak poor Mandarin that time, I felt the sense of belongingness in my Form 6 class. I was considered smart, something that I won't expected to be labelled as after primary school. 

My friends' list became longer than before, and I was really blissful. It was during my Form 6 where for the first time, I began to be involved in religious club such as Young Christian Students. And through my Form 6, I began to know more people and had quality time with my bestie.

Then there was university life. During my first year first semester, I had a gang which consists of Mei Ling, Sook Mon, Christopher, Susanna, Pei Lee and me. When we attended classes, we always go together. But when the second semester arrived, we majored in different subjects and the gang was like, splitted into two. Pei Lee and me were always together, then the rest were at another part. During my first year 2nd semester, I always felt lonely because sometimes Pei Lee fell sick and couldn't attend the classes. Then I started to make the friends' list all over again, counting how many friends I had. Inside the list contained most of my seniors' name. I wasn't really mixing with my peers that time. I felt frustrated with myself, the trauma of being an outcast like what I felt during my high school years came back haunting me again. 

But God was really kind to me. During my 2nd year, He gave me a role to play in a religious club and He met me with Hawa and a lot of other new people I began to became close with. Though I was busy and all that, it was a small price to pay compared to the blessings He gave me. I felt more contented and it was the first time I thanked my mother for forcing me to enter university.

And you know what? It was during that time I stopped making the friends' list.

And only when I stopped making the friends' list that I realized we cannot count how many friends we have cause it's hard to determine which one of your acquaintences is your friend because friendship must be nurtured. Acquaintances can turn into friends and vice versa. If you do not keep in touch with your friends, your friends might turn into merely acquaintences.

[Interframe: And that is why now I want to find a very good timing to reconnect with my first year gang, my beloved friends, Pei Lee, Sook Mon, Susanna and Mei Ling. I don't want this friendship we have turning into acquaintances relationship]

Warning: Don't do this to your helpless friend...

[Interframe: I seriously need to focus now, but what i did was just watching Desperate Housewives season 4 and doing the laundry, but wait, Desperate Housewives is an English-speaking series, so they do help my revision, don't they?]

It was during the night of 11th April, and I was walking back from Bali Bali after having a Milo ais and a sesi suap-menyuap Tiramisu birthday cake with my beloved seniors. The time was 8 p.m. I walked and arrived at the Sungai Dua USM bus stop and saw the back of my friend, my only former school mate here in USM, his name is X, and I saw him carrying a really large package, all by himself. I called him from the back, and he finally stopped and replied my greeting.

We had a little chat while walking. He told me he just came back from the PC fair which was going on at Penang International Sports Arena (PISA) and he bought something there. He went there alone, buying all these stuffs. I was impressed, and also kinda feel bad why he went there alone and buy these heavy things because he looked like he really needed some help with carrying the big package, so I forced myself to ask if he needed some help with carrying those item. I mean, I had to force myself that time, and sorry, honestly, I wasn't that sincere in offering the help that time because the thing looked so heavy and I was in a rush to meet my friend who was starving waiting for me, so to do or not to do, I had to follow my instinct to help him- though reluctantly. I am very sorry for being not really sincere that time, because one thing, I don't really like to offer help to guys, unless the guys are my juniors or my younger relatives like Aaron James and Aaron Ezra, and yeah, it's also because I am kinda of a sexist sometimes, but because this friend of mine had a little problem physically, so I could adjust my standard in helping people. Two, I was in a rush, and carrying heavy thing might slow me down. But all ye girls, don't worry, I am really sincere when helping you guys, err, girls.. lol..

So back to the story. I helped my friend to carry the heavy package and I was gasping for air while carrying it because I was walking fast while carrying heavy thing. I could imagine myself looking comical in this situation and I was glad nobody I knew passed-by us and witness this. lol. Then, I got quite annoyed when I found out from X that actually that heavy thing that I helped him to carry was not something he bought for himself, but the heavy printer was a thing his friend asked him to buy. I was like, saying what the heck under my mind or if I were meaner than I already am, I could be cursing wtf under my breath.

I couldn't help but to ask him "Why couldn't your friend buy this printer himself?"
He answered "Oh, he's not free. He wasn't free from 9th April till 10th April."
"Oh, but he's free on 11 right?" I asked.
"He's busy with church activities today. So, I helped him buy the printer."
What the heck? He was busy with church activity so he could go on bullying his friend to buy a heavy printer at PISA all by himself? The moment I heard that, my heart was screaming with these messages to X's so-called friend, Mr WTH..

A message from Mean Maureen to the selfish MR WTH:

"What the heck, church activity? You are busy 'noble' man who are active in church activities and here you contradict yourself by bullying your physically incapable friend to buy a DAMN HEAVY printer alone at PISA? Who the heck do you think you are??? I don't mind if you asked him to buy some printer's ink, or something which can be carried easily, but this, SHAME ON YOU MR BUSY WITH CHURCH ACTIVITY GUY, you took advantage of X who was going to PISA alone to buy you a damn heavy printer?? SHAME ON YOU!!! You better go back to kindy and learn about civic-mindedness or just don't go to church because you're bringing shame to the church you went to!"

Upon reaching X's hostel, he apologized profusely for having to let me carry that damn heavy printer for him.
"I'm really really sorry you have to carry this," he said to me.
"Don't be sorry. You are not supposed to be sorry. It's your friend who's supposed to be sorry..." I said it clearly so that he wouldn't miss the sarcasm I had dedicated to his so-called friend. Then, we bade each other farewell.

After that, I walked to find my friend, who was totally starving, waiting for me. While walking, I thought that I could only help him this time, but how about the other time? In the future? How can he endure with much more sufferings? He could be bullied again and he willl accept those favours asked though beyond his ability, maybe because that's the only way for him to gain friends.

So, for those of you out there, please do not do these things to others, especially your own friend. Friendship is a bond not for you to gain benefits, but friendship is journeying together with another person and share all the pain and joy together, and that's why it's called friendship. It's a ship where you journey with your friend, through good times or bad times. And yeah, you can ask for favour from your friends, but make sure it is something that is not beyond the ability or the convenience of your friend, because if it is, you will sink the ship that you built together with the person whom you are supposed to protect, and not exploit.

The 7 similarities between me and her... ;)

Have you ever admired a friend that you will be happy to share some similarities with him/her?

Okay, so here is this friend of mine. Though we aren’t that close like sisters, I felt comfortable with her everytime we met, because she just have that charm, which I can describe as you know –“ a person whom you can be comfortable with even you just met her for the first time.” Plus, she’s a friend who will accept and respect you for who you are. Warm, friendly and had a good sense of humour, that's the basic qualities that I can use to describe her.

I just realized that though we came from places which are miles apart, we shared some similarities.

Well, let me have the honour of counting the similarities I have with her..

Counting 1) She, is the youngest of three sisters.

So am I. ;)

Yay! Clap2!

Counting 2) She speaks Hokkien at home

So do I ;)

Counting 3) She's an Aries

So am I ;)

Counting 4) She didn't attend Chinese school...

So am I. Thus, we both don't really know how to read the Chinese characters. But she speaks more fluently in Mandarin compared to me.. :"

Counting 5) Her course is under Humanity School.

So is mine ;)

Counting 6) She loves camwhoring!

(a conclusion from my observance.. hahah.. XD)

So do I.. haha ;D

Counting the last one, 7) She loves blogging...

So do I.. ;)

Well, why do I want to find 7 similiarities? Well, it's because I want to make them in line with the significant number 7 which

is TA~DAA!!

Her birthday!!

which falls on

7 April every year.. ;)

Yeah, the girl I mentioned is none other than...

JENG JENG JENG..

picture grabbed without permission from Ping Ping's facebook photo album.. hehe..

PING PING!! :D

Yeah!!

So, Ping Ping, I would like to take this opportunity to wish a very happy 22nd birthday to you!!

Ping Ping's last year birthday photo grabbed without permission from her blog.. heheh..

Hope all your dreams and wishes come true..

And hope that you finish the Dr Rashidi's assignment rapidly (I haven't, huhu) so that you can have a good fine study week at your home sweet home.. :)

All the best to you for the coming exam and also for the coming semester..

ANd one more thing, don't forget to take a break from the hassles of your busy life.. ;)

Take care always & God bless you abundantly, Ping Ping!!

and remember that I am glad that we know each other and became friends..

;D

Sometimes, I wish I have my own reality show...

I hope there's a video camera capturing every moment of my life though my life is not very interesting..

It's because though my life isn't interesting and I don't always get invited to parties or big events, I always witness something interesting.. Something which was meaningful that could make me tear up on the spot if I lose my self control.

Question 1:

Have you ever seen a Muslim friend helping a Christian girl sticking the posters which promote the Christian club around campus late at night?

I have seen that. And that Muslim girl is my good friend, Pizal.. She insisted on helping me to stick the Catholic Undergraduate Society posters though I asked her not to.

Question 2:
Have you ever heard a Muslim friend advising her Christian friend to pray before and after eating a meal or even a simple bread or kuih?

I have heard that. And that Muslim friend is my good friend Hawa, and she always remind me to pray before and after eating according to my own religion. And I always remembered to do that ever since. Thanks girl..

Have you ever seen three strangers from different races, Malay, Indian and Chinese ended up becoming friends during a Ko-K activities?

Well, I have never seen it, but I did experienced it, because the Malay girl was Salwa, Indian girl was Hema, and I was the Chinese girl. We met while I was taking the swimming Ko-K last year. We ended up becoming friends, both of them helped to teach me how to swim as I was the slow learner. I always joked that we made "Iklan Petronas" while socializing together.


If you think One Malaysia is only a failed mission, you could be wrong because it was already possible even when One Malaysia haven't start. Actually, we did realized about the importance of unity among races long before, it was just that sometimes we didn't realize it because we just thought that we were friends so naturally - we forgot that we were actually befriending someone from different background, different races, and different beliefs, because we focused on the similarities rather than the differences. And that was the good thing about it. We look as our friends not based on their physical differences but something beyond that, which is our thinking and our stand.

So, don't try hard to pick someone who is different from you and be friends with them just to fulfill the so-called One Malaysia. Let your friendship work out naturally. Just focus on someone who has the same thinking as you, and you will be surprised that the person who has the same thinking as you usually comes from a very different background, different belief, and different practices.

And that is the foundation of a friendship that will last rather than just a semester's friendship.

KESIMPULAN: DALAM PERSAHABATAN, ANDA TAK PERLU MENGUAR-UARKAN KONSEP SATU MALAYSIA DAN MEMBUATKAN PERSAHABATAN ANDA NAMPAK PALSU.
BIARKAN PERSAHABATAN ANDA BERMULA DENGAN NATURAL, TANPA PERLU SENGAJA BERGAUL DENGAN ORANG YANG BERBEZA HANYA UNTUK 'MEREALISASIKAN' KONSEP INI KERANA AKHIRNYA ANDA AKAN SEDAR DENGAN SENDIRINYA YANG ORANG YANG BERBEZA DENGAN ANDA SEBENARNYA ADALAH LEBIH MENYERUPAI ANDA DARIPADA ORANG YANG SAMA DENGAN ANDA.

PEACE~!!

Your Room Shows Who You Are, and That My Dear, Is Not a New Discovery...

I am not a good hostess. I just leave my things messing around in the room (especially during exam season) and when people came to my room, I did the tidying up in front of them - I mean, how embarrassing! I used to do this whenever any of my hostel mates came to my room, both my hands doing the tidying up, while my mouth kept apologizing profusely for the mess. Sometimes if I am lucky and I got a 10 minutes notice, I grabbed all my books and notes which were scattered on the floor and bed, threw them all into my cupboard and voila, everything looked fine again, and prayed that I do not have to open my cupboard in front of the guest. By the way, if you are reading this, Marce, (that is - if you even know the the existence of this blog, hehe), sorry my room was damn messy - and I wanted to apologize I didn't have snacks to offer you. I used to buy snacks in case there is any guest coming but I ended up eating them myself even before the snack could make its way into my food cupboard, due to the temptation during stress. Hehe. But one thing for sure, I love having guest around, especially those who never come to my room before because a room is actually a place where you get to show your personality, and share bits and pieces of your life. It is your comfort zone, and it just shows your guest the idea of what makes you comfortable. Apparently, people get to know you more through your room -unless you are the kind of person who doesn't do anything to your room (but still, even when you didn't personalize your room, we can make conclusion about you - that you are either a very busy person, an uncreative person, or a plain simple boring person - pick one or pick all three, no limits here.)

So actually, what are the things that make my room, MY ROOM?

1) Tons of books - either story books or text books.
I like reading books, but now I am gradually switching to reading blogs. Maybe it's because I am too lazy to hold a book - you know, especially the hard covered books. It's damn heavy especially when you want to read them while lying down. But I like to keep books, especially English story books. This semester, I had to buy 6 children story books for my Children Literature course, but I didn't really complain, and I am not thinking of selling them off at Chow Rasta because I wanted to keep them. But it was a totally different story for text books. I bought text books because I was in the kiasu mode for this semester, when a lecturer stressed how important a book is, I was among the early birds to purchase the book- skemalah katakan. But those text books were still virgins - until the eve of the exam for sure.

Conclusion about me: You can conclude that I like to read fictions and I only read non-fictions merely for exams. You can even conclude that I am a person who like to take the easy way, buying text books instead of photocopying them - and that I am a kiasu person for buying the almost every book that the lecturer asked us to buy.

2.) Clothes hanging on my window
If you want to identify my room from outdoors, try this - look for the room with tons of clothes hanging on the window - and you shall be assured that the room belongs to me. This shows that I am ahem, someone who could adapt well to situation. Since we didn't have enough space to dry our clothes, whenever the clothes that I hung at the suspension system (not sure if I am using this noun correctly) were halfway dry, I would transfer them to the window for further drying. And no, I don't care what people think about it (especially the people who were exercising at the back of my hostel who can have a nice view of our windows and what we hung there *sigh*), as long as my clothes are dry, that could make my day and what's more important, I would be less worried.

Conclusion about me: You can conclude that I am someone who's obsessed with laundry and someone who could adapt well to situation. heheh.

3) Soft board full of prayer cards and a drawing of Jesus
Well, this shows that I am a Christian, or specifically a Catholic. But don't get the wrong idea, I am not a holy person *shame mode on*. Yeah, the reason I put many prayer cards was because I am a great sinner, so I need more prayers and protection from God. (Remember that it was the sick people who keep more medicines, so that goes the same for me..) And about the drawing of Jesus, I have always loved drawing, so I would love to put something I drew on my soft board. Besides, I didn't have any holy pictures (and I am too thrifty to buy one cause they are expensive, huhu) so a hand work of your own was the best option right?

Conclusion About Me: I am a Catholic, and I am someone who loves artistic things (it runs in the family maybe).. But as I've told you earlier, I am not a holy person, and I only have halo when I walked under the sun.

4) Table full of scattered books, notes and everything important to a student

Whenever I am busy and needed to rush, I would just place my things on my table or on my bed - that was the case before exam. But for the case during the exam or the study week, it was because I went to search for my notes high and low, thus the messy table and bed and even the floor. Thank God I have a roommate who could tolerate my madness and messiness. :)

Conclusion about Me: I am a messy person. Simple as that.

5) A picture of my besties and me

I received a gift from my besties back in 2008, before I step my feet on USM. I opened the gift while I was on the plane, to keep my mind off from my gosh-it's-my-first-time-being-on-a-plane-alone worries. It was thoughtful of them, to give me something memorable - a picture of us - Sally, Stephanie, Amanda and me together. The frame was beautiful, but what was more beautiful was the message from the picture. It was a picture of us camwhoring inside the toilet of Cafe Cafe, a well known hang out spot in Sibu. I couldn't help but to reminisce our good times together whenever I saw the photograph. It was true, though as cliche as it sounds, that a picture tells a thousand words - or more precisely, recalls a thousand memories.

Conclusion about Me: I am a sentimental person.

Now, can you analyze your room or your friends' rooms? Put on your room radar on and try to observe now yo~! And no, room raiding is not an option.


PS: Though your hostel room may be your temporary bedroom, it still can sum up a few personalities, if not all, about you. So, be wary what you keep in your room, people, because the things you keep have the power to reflect who you are.

She's Legally 21...

Presenting you with the star of Legally 21..

I know that I won't be able to celebrate it with you and them all namely Sally, Pamela, Amanda, Celestine, but my force will always be with you. *insert Star War song* And Clare, are you at Kuching or Singapore that time? If you're at Kuching, it will be merrier yeah~! ;)

Since you are the latest among us to reach 21 years old, there's 21 mad tips I am sharing with you on what you should do when you are 21.

3) Take care of your skin
Explanation: Yes, once you reach your 20's, your skin will be matured, and you have to take extra care. Well, my skin isn't getting any much better here.. Huhu..

4) Be prepared if someone is trying to propose you.

21) Last but not least, Tiup all the lilin and make 21 wishes.
Explanation: This is compulsory and making many wishes can increase the probability of your wish to come true. At least one wish from 21 wishes come true also means that your wish came true, right? heheh.. So merapu here.



Anyway, May God bless you abundantly throughout the year and hope you have the best birthday ever with your sisters out there - and last but not least, HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY!!

Of Empty Pocket & Empty Fuel Tank..

This is..... a true story.

Info: Pictures were included as proofs that all of the stated facts did happen.

One Saturday night, a group of friends, or 'family' they preferred to call it, were having an outing after church. The night was still young, just around 8 pm, and all were ready to do an important mission which was to jengjengjeng ---- EAT!! (Duh! What else could be more important?) The 'family' were using two cars for this outing, car number 1906 and car number 3872 --> The brand of the cars were not mentioned because this is not an advertisement, fyi. On the way to the open-air restaurant, which was suggested by the tall girl in red T, suddenly car number 3872 stopped at the side of the flyover. The passengers in car 1906 were worried and confused. The girl in white blouse from car 1906 called the girl with curly hair in flowery blouse in car 3872 to ask her what was wrong and their dialogue went like this:

Girl in white blouse: What happened? Why the car stopped?
Girl with curly hair in flowery blouse: Our fuel tank is empty.
Girl in white blouse: Ooops.. (unsur tokok tambah sebenarnya. Dalam dialog sebenar, ekspresi ini tidak digunakan. Ekspresi ini digunakan dalam penceritaan semula untuk menambahkan unsur dramatik.)
Girl with curly hair in flowery blouse: Urm, can you guys help to buy fuel in the nearest petrol station for us?
Girl in white blouse: Okay. Can~

Note: The more accurate version of this significant conversation can be found in this post.

Conversation ended. Note that girl in white blouse sounded cool all along because she is a cool person and whenever she encounters any situation like this, she will remain cool, because at the end of the day, she's not the hero nor the victim, she's the witness with the camera. Ahem. (Disclaimer: the writer is not bias towards the characters, fyi)

Some of the characters in this true story.
From left: Guy in black T, girl with checkered blouse, girl with curly hair in flowery blouse, girl in brown blouse (special appearance), girl in white sandal, and last but not least, the girl in white blouse.

After buying the fuel, the people from car 1906 went to help the victims of the situation in car 3872. The girl in white blouse was trying to capture the picture of the moment, but ended up scolded by the girl with curly hair in flowery blouse because she didn't want any chemical reaction due to the flashes from the camera. So, the photos during this situation were limited.

The activity of filling up a fuel tank could look interesting in times like this. Seriously. Everyone was paying full attention while the girl in checkered blouse, the girl with curly hair in flowery blouse and the tall girl in red T was busy trying to fill up the fuel tank. After a few minutes, the car was driven to the nearest petrol station to be filled with sufficient petrol. When the chaotic moment was finally over, the 'family' was ready to proceed to the next stop.

And, the next stop would be the stop the 'family' were waiting for.



Eating time, at an open-air restaurant located at somewhere near Queensbay. Everybody was smiling hungrily.
Clockwise from right - girl in checkered blouse, girl in black blouse, girl in white sandal, guy in short pants with new shoes, tall girl in red T, girl with curly hair and flowery blouse, girl with curly hair in jeans, (don't confuse these two curly-haired girls ya~) and finally the guy in black T.

Presenting all of you with the food at the open-air restaurant located somewhere near Queensbay. And again, the name of the open-air restaurant was not mention because this is not an advertisement. (Sebenarnya, cover line sebab tak tau nama tempat tu...)
And yeah, they were tasty. The total of the payment made for these food was RM100 - food which were sufficient enough to feed 9 people. Totally worth it.

After finishing the food, the 'family' asked the guy in the short pants with new shoes to bring the sparkling juice that they bought earlier from car 3872 - and guess what? When the guy in the short pants with new shoes brought the sparkling juice bottle, people from other table were looking at him - as if he was bringing an alcohol drink instead. Sparkling juice is not a wine, ok, people, though the bottle looked like wine. It's just like Shandy of wine. But in reality, we didn't bother to explain and let others made perception about us. After finishing their activity at the open-air restaurant which consists of ordering food, camwhoring, eating, drinking and paying the food, the 'family' planned to watch a movie at Queensbay cinema. The tall girl in red T went back to the hostel with her friend, so the rest of them continued with the activity for the night. The time was nearly 11 pm. The 'family' were buying movie tickets to watch Whiteout , a film starring Kate Beckinsale.

A view from the front. They were asking the guy in short pants with new shoes whom they called daddy to buy them drinks. And he did- due the muka kasihan they were putting on like in the picture above. ;)

The movie was okay - didn't leave you much impact, it was something you watch and forget later - but that was the girl in white blouse's subjective view. The girl in white sandal thought that it was stressful to watch that movie because it needed much thinking (suspense) and this statement was agreed by the girl in white blouse. The movie ended around 1 something in the morning. So, the outing finally came to an end. Everybody went back to their respective hostels and rented apartment in car 1906 and car 3872. Everybody were sent back safe and sound. The girl in white blouse went back to her hostel in car 1906 and reached her room at around 1.45 am. Though she felt kempunan earlier for not following the first phase of the outing, she was grateful because she realized that it was a blessing in disguise. If she had followed the earlier phase, she would ended up with hole in her pocket. The girl in the white blouse was happy at the end of the outing and this could be proven by the picture below.

Girl in white blouse: Yes, I am truly happy!! Though my pocket is empty, my bag isn't. ;P
