August Babies

2 Humble Opinion to The Royal Highness
At first, I do not wish to do this post. Because I think it’s a bit lame. But, I have to since I forgotten one of my most important friend’s birthday. He did not get angry for this small matter, but I just felt bad. Another reason is because I remember their birthday but forgotten to greet most of these people. So I owe them.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to the following people:

2nd August, my primary school best friend. She’s working at Singapore now, so I guess I won’t manage to greet her unless she comes online. I don’t have her Singapore’s number as well. Wong Chooi Yee.

6th August, my college buddy . She’s cute and nice, but too bad that I only get to know her this year. Good thing we still talk to each other now.

Carmen


8th August, CHS+college mate,

Yen Tink.

10th August,
Sim Wei Lim, Shing Yi and Pui Yee. So nice right? Can celebrate together.

16th August, my most important friend, Sorry buddy. But I really had forgotten about it. Guess it’s because you never call/sms/msn me for yonks.

Nicholas.


19th August, 5p2 buddy,

Seh Hoon.

25th August, the flirty
Alexander wung.

26th August, my closest cousin cum GOR GOR,

Ivan.


27th August, college buddy,

Roxanne.


28th August,

Wei Dar.

29th August,

Leeza Foo.

And a special greeting from me to my best uncle, Happy Birthday.
1st September,

Uncle Keong!!!



Love,
Nichole @ Lai Yin

The sound of music

0 Humble Opinion to The Royal Highness

My music hall fills with the tune of LM's piano. The sound of the treble is so strong but not covers by the grand sound of the bass. The piano pieces played by LM were so solid and smooth; the melody of pieces as if telling its story. I fell in love with piano pieces, especially canon in D. Call me out dated but I just love this song. And I know someone out there were touch by this song too.

LM got her piano theory exam's result today. She got a merit. I once receive this cert too, but it was a history. I can't even play a simple one hand pieces now.

I love musical and I'm addicted to music. I need them every night to put me to bed. I need them to calm my emotion. I need them to cure my boredom and I need them to enjoy my cup of tea. I took out all my CDs and play every single of it. It bring back some of my memory. When I put on my Simple Plan's album, it reminds me of someone. We were once such a good friend and we even went for SP's concert. Too bad that there's some misunderstanding between us few months after graduation, a misunderstanding that I don't bother to explain to everyone and don't wish to correct it. Some even asked did we argue. My answer to them, 'did I? I dint remember doing so.' Some ask what happen to both of you. I answer, 'Nothing happen to us.' I don't even wish to share the whole story. So what if you call me selfish, so what if u calls me sensitive and so what if I'm being conceit? Everyone should save a secret or two to themselves.

When my player plays Letto's Truth, Cry and lie, I think so another friend of mine. This friend of mine were such a great person that he got bullied by me and yet he never revenge, this friend of mine would assist me in my study and this friend is the 1st person who knows I broke up by *ahem*.

When I put on the ost album for 1 liter no namida, I remember the late night move marathon. 1 night I could watch 3 episodes. During the last few episodes, I finished 1 whole box of tissues. And the next day, both my eyes swollen and so reddish, I can't even put on my lens. My parents ask about my eyes, I then pretend that I dint know my eyes were in bad condition. Every time I blink my eyes or rub my eyes, I could fell the tearing pain behind my eye balls. This is really a bad thing to do especially when you only manage to get 3 hours of sleep after continuing to cry for few hours of. Yea, I'm being very emo lately.

When I listen to those RnB, reminds me of my glorious time, time where I'm preparing my self for high school prom and yet I manage to study and practice my guitar. When I say prepare myself for prom means I'm doing 200+ sits up in 10minutes, 30 minutes of simple palates and an hour of gym every night before bed. Can you imagine, I spent 30 minutes on my guitar and 2 hours on exercising, yet I still manage to do quite well in my exams, and to make sure no eye bags, I sleep at 10.30pm every night. And I do watch drama!!! Am I amazing or what? But these all are history. I'm even worst than lazy now.

I'm not regretting anything, but it just feels good to have a bank of lovely memory that builds the stronger and better Lai Yin.

Worries….

2 Humble Opinion to The Royal Highness

I've been asking my self, is law really my subject? How can I do law when I can't even fight for my own right. Don't mention my client's.

I cried a lot lately. I've been ask if I went to UK, who will take care of my dog? At first Lai Ming agree to take care of Yuki on behalf of me. But Lai Ming finally decided to go directly to Trinity College next year after national service, which means around July. By that time, I'm still at KL, and most probably I'll only leave KL to UK by September or October. This means no one will take care of my darling. Mommy dislikes Yuki. She's bias towards Baby. She doesn't even want Yuki to get near her sometimes. This is something that makes me mad. And for daddy, yes he do play with Yuki once a while, he do gives her junk food but he don't shower her. If I'm leaving to UK, no one will shower Yuki, no one will train her, no one will play with her and no one will clean her poo. Mommy says leave Yuki to the maid to take care. What if she hates her? What if she tortures her? What if she doesn't take good care of her? What if Yuki gets skin disease because of not well care? Who will trim her coat? Who will comb her coat? Who will groom her? What will Yuki be after I finish my course? How does she look like after my course? Will she be death by the time I came back to KL? Will she recognize me? Will she still be the well trained miniature schnauzer? I'm worry…

Am I being too jealousy? Or am I demanding for more? I'm the black sheep of the family. Everyone seems to outsmart me. Everyone seems to be more independent than me. Everyone seems to be brighter than me. I'm the ugliest, fattest, stupid-est, unbright-est and poorest in academic among us three sisters. I have no right to talk in the family sooner or later. I have no knowledge to share with my family. I have nothing but a whole mouth of shit. Things that I know, everyone knows ahead of me. Academic? I can never score better except for history. But history is something that no one will bother about. I won't need history for my university application. I won't need it for my career either. We don't even study local history anymore after high school. So who cares if I get A1 for history?

I have not much friends. Yes I do have lots of friends but they are mostly hi-bye friend. These friends will never ask for the reason behind my decision. They'll just want to know what the decision is. I envy Lai Kwan for having a whole lot of good friends. She have really good friend no matter where, USA, UK, Ireland, Singapore, Indonesia and Cambodia. I don't even have to mention Malaysia and Australia itself. These friends of hers give me an angle's image. They'll step out when ever she's in trouble. They'll cheer and congrats her for her success. They'll listen to her matter. They'll give her their hands if she needs them. They toast for her joy and mourn for her sorrow. I want a friend like this. I don't want many but one will be enough for me. I want a true good friend who could share my life. I want a friend who knows me well enough where we don't have to talk and we'll know. I want a friend. He/she don't have to share the same interest but to know me. I'm worry that someday I wake up and realize there's no one who cares for me in my life. I'm scared that I end up being alone. Old grumpy women and her own sorrow.

I desperately need a smile. I have no idea since when I lost it. How I wish the familiar evil laugh of Lai Yin could fill the air again. How I wish my smile will crawl back to my fat ugly face. Nothing seems to make me smile again. The smile that came from my heart had been taken away by my worries. How I wish I'm a kid again. No worries, no sorrow and all nice.

-----

Sorry readers, I apologies for my emotional post lately. I'm having a hard time. There are lots of things for me to sort and to think. Guess this is something that every growing man will have to face. But I'm just not ready to face it yet. I don't want to face this grown-up world yet. Save me from my stupid-ness for not wanting to grow up if possible.


Love,

The Ultimate Photo

1 Humble Opinion to The Royal Highness


Was sorting and tidying my external hard driver's file. Something catches my eye and something in my brain asks me to click on it. I have no idea why but I follow my instinct. A picture shows up. It's my sis class photo that they took for the school magazine's class page. I have nothing much to say but to scream at LM and ask if it's a joke. She than swear that she lost this picture after she receive this picture from the photographer.



Should I say enjoy the photo or should I say be prepare to have a look on it? Anything that suits you. But if you don't see anything that make you ask the same question as I ask LM, than just take this photo as a normal photo from my blog.

Love is in the air….

2 Humble Opinion to The Royal Highness

For the last few years, there are only 3 guys confessed to me. There's 2 said I love you and 1 I like you. I would prefer to hear like than love. Love is such a strong word to say. Call me retard but I seriously no idea what love is and how does is feels.

Last month, I was chatting with Mr Funnyguy on MSN. He suddenly pops me a question, 'do you want to be my girlfriend?' I told Alvin about it and he says it's not consider confess, so I'll call it pre-confess.

Mr Funnyguy never says he likes me nor loves me. So I assume he's asking the question just for the sake of having a girlfriend. I'm trying to be polite and told him that he don't really know me. And he says that we could try first. Who knows may be we really can work things out. I can't be so nice anymore. I have to be cruel and thus I rejected him by giving him a big fat NO. So there goes one of my buddies. After this incident, he did not ask me out for movie or meal anymore. What's worst is that I MSN-ed him and he never reply. I don't mean to be mean but damn you Mr Funnyguy. Although I rejected you, we could still be friends right? Sigh, nowadays people don't seem to treasure their friendship. It is fate that brings us together why do you want to lose it just because of this tiny little matter? I never seen him and heard of him till few days ago I meet him in a mall. Than only I know that he'll be leaving Malaysia really soon. He'll be studying overseas for few years. I don't even manage to ask him which university and what country he's going, he just kind of runs away. Am I really THIS scary to face? I am a carnivore but I don't eat human. Good luck dude. All the best and May you found someone that really suits you.

I told this incident to Alvin and he just says Mr Funnyguy is a bastard. And he asks me to forget about him. He says there are a lot better guys out there. But I don't seem to see any Mr Mycupoftea. What ever it is, Mr Funnyguy did stand a chapter in my life. And I do treasure him as one of my buddy.

I meet up with some old friend for movie and lunch today. Well, I've isolate myself from my old buddy since last year. It feels good to meet them again. Nicholas broke his left arm in a car accident and he has to differ a semester due to the injury. Shing Yi is still the same old little girl. While Munn Sing doesn't seem to gain any weight. He's still the dry cucumber that invited me to his birthday party last year. While we were having a light talk over our tea, we kinda mention about guys that I'll like. I made a statement. I don't demand for a guy who is 100% perfect in every aspect, but to have a better status than me in every aspect. Yes, I'm a moderate materialistic girl. I'm not greedy at all. And I even made an example. I might be a lawyer in the future so you won't expect me to married to a rubbish guy or a construction worker right? I'm not saying a rubbish guy or construction workers are lousy, but it's just not in my standard. I want someone who is more capable than me, smarter than me and better than me. I want someone that could do the decision for the family and lead the family. I want someone that could share my worry and discuss my stuff with. Not me doing all the man's job. I want a MAN not a BOY!!!

Guess this explain why I reject guys that are same age as me and guys who are not so mature yet.

Anyway, after approximate 8 months of not seeing each other, Nicholas claims that I've change. I'm not the high school Lai Yin any more. People, any comment? What ever it is, I'm glad that he says I changed in a good way. That means I'm better than the old me. Hahaha…. Happy!!! Well, Nicholas did not change except that he knows more about food now, duh~~ He still whacks my head and punches me on my arm. He says there's something that I've not change since the day he know me, that is the bubbly me. Talk non stop for the entire afternoon. What to do, I love talking wert.

Move on….

0 Humble Opinion to The Royal Highness

Yvonne will be heading to the KLIA later tonight. Her flight is at mid night 1am. She'll be at USA by tomorrow. She's so lucky that she got acceptance by this uni for this uni she applied are famous and excellent for the subject she's taking. Farewell my friend. Take care and all the best. May god bless you and grant all your wishes.

Everyone had move on with their life. Teh Tzun Tzin will be going to University of Oxford Brook by this 10th of September. His cousin, my class mate, PB3 class rep, Teh Teong Seng will be going to one of the university at UK as well. He'll also be leaving by this September. The smart babe Sue Bee at National University of Singapore now, but she'll be leaving to University of Warwick soon. So is Willaim. Hween Lian will be going to Australia and Pearlyn will be going to the UK. Jia Hui applying to University of Manchester and soon she'll be there. I heard Wee Xin will be off to UK as well. I bet so is Alex and Yusnie.

Lee Chian had started her class at Sunway University College, Roxanne at KDU. The mamak guy, Amir is now at APIIT with his brother. Everyone is going different way. Chiou Min, Nicole, Louisa, Siew Chin, Michelle, Tzi Yi and may be Pui Yi will be at Help University College. So am I.

Jennifer will be applying to Malaysia's Nottingham University. Elizabeth might be following. And so is Cheah Ying.

I wonder when we will meet again. 29 of us sitting around the café and cam-whoring. I miss those days. I miss being young and energetic. I miss being the happy me. I miss everything.

I've been very moody these days. *nope, not PMS* I just seems to not bearing with everything that came to me. I could not handle things happily any more. Am I being over worry about my future? Am I being worry of my 1st year result? Am I trying to isolate myself from the world of truth? Or am I just on the process of growing up? Sigh, I want to be a happy girl again. I want to go back to my infant period.

----

Okay, no more emo post. Sorry for the last post for being such a selfish me. Pardon me for my words and forgive me for being not understanding. I'm just in such a bad mood that I could burn a village.

I shall talk more about the happy stuff now.

---

I've got my student ID and my mom says I look like retard in the ID. So, I plan to re-do it again. I will be telling the lady that I've lost mine after my orientation. Kenny, if you're reading this, is you're ID's picture look cacated as well? Why their camera so weird wan? Even my counselor tells me that she hates her ID too. She says I don't have to take out if it is not necessary. That's how she avoids others looking at her picture.

----

I went Help today. I encounter something weird. I walk pass 3 afro-looking guy who sits at the bench on the corridor near the back entrance. They start saying hi to me. Yes you can say I'm not friendly but I'm scared talking to afro-looking people. I have no idea why I'm scared of them. I ignore them and walks pass them. Than, I was looking for Dunkin Doughnut and I end up having Starbucks instead. Call me stupid, but I seriously don't seem to find that freaking Doughnut shop. Guess I'm really blind. In the Starbucks, I order a slice of marble cheese cake. The lady asks if I'm having here or take away. Guess what I answer, I said 'having here but take away box please'. It is so obvious that I'm taking away. I desperately wanted to go home and sleep. Today is a total weird in Help. Not the end yet. I was on my way back to the main entrance of Help from Starbucks, I walk pass this section where international students re-new their ID, I meet this oriental looking girl, she smile to me and started '@#$%^&*@#$%^&'. I have no idea what the hack is she talking about. I assume she's speaking Korean language and so I assume she's a Korean. So I told her that I'm a Malaysian. 'So you're not XXX?' 'I'm sorry but I'm afraid I'm not.' Than I give her a polite smile and walk away hoping to go home as soon as possible. Damn, I like Help in a way but hate it in a way too.

Lai Ming passed her driving exams today. Hip hip hooray!!!

RIP Ah Kui.

I GIVE UP!!!

1 Humble Opinion to The Royal Highness

Its moving towards the remaining quarter year as the calendar sheets is getting thinner. As the one who always step into a whole damp of shit, I , Low Lai Yin has start the process of planning the 5p2/2005 annual class party. It can be said that I'm the one that responsible for the class event like gathering and class party. Reason? Because others doesn't wish to bring trouble into their perfect life. Thus, here am I, the busy-body who so-called dedicated to the class. If there's no class party, others will just continue with their own new friends and their own buddy. What about the other class mate you had not seen them for ages? Don't you wish to update yourself with the current life of your class mates? Don't you wish to stay in touch with them? Some says no. Guess they really love their new friends or they are trying to isolate themselves from this cruel world. What ever it is, I don't wish this situating to happen and I HAVE to plan the annual class party.

I start my process by sending an e-mail to every single class mate to ensure they've been informs about the party and I do ask them for opinion for the date and location. I even post the notice on my blog, hoping that some one will take note of it. I wouldn't care much about my own opinion. Such a selfless me. Some really did reply and I appreciate it. But those that reply are just a minority of them, and this really pulls my eagerness down. I can't give up at this time. I've sent the mail and discuss a little on it with Wei Liang. So I continue with my planning base on the reply I got from few of my class mate. I browse thru millions of web page, looking for a perfect restaurant, flip thru the calendar a millions times, my brain spinning rate goes faster than normal rate and wola finally something came out.

People, 5p2/2005 annual class party information are below,

Date: 8th September 2007

Time: 7pm to mid night

Place: MPR

However, the response for the information above ain't good. Some says September not a great month. Some says Saturday not a good day. Some even say having the reunion at restaurant ain't a good idea.

Here's the reason I receive for objecting the date:

  • Having exams.
  • Exams coming. Another two months!!!
  • Won't be home. Still at my hostel.
  • New semester starting.
  • Have night class (can be forgive for this reason)
  • Don't wish to go out on the Saturday night.

Reason to object on the location:

  • Don't get to walk around and talk to each other.
  • Nothing much to do after food.
  • Can't take picture.
  • Can't scream and shout.

I wonder, what type of lame reason can they think of any more? Mother won't allow going out at night? I have to babysit my sister? Wanna watch Mr Hong Kong? Damn this lame reason okay!!!

Here's my reason why do I make it on a Saturday, September and at MPR.

  • We get to have fun till mid night and we won't have class the next day.
  • We can celebrate Yee Cheong's birthday as well.
  • Can bid Yee Cheong's farewell in advance since he's going to Melbourne to study.
  • This is the only month where almost everyone is free.
  • MPR is the best place to have reunion. They'll have performance and a suitable space for you to move around.
  • MPR have very own event planner to suits our event.
  • MPR's atmosphere was great.
  • We can have our party at MPR till as late as possible. And we could scream and shout till your lungs drop (unless you were too shy to do so. Than I have nothing to say.)
  • You could relax before the start of your exams and new semester.

See, my reason covers all their lame reasons. But however, it's the class party. It has to be agreed by the class. So I has to change everything and squeeze my brain, browsing thru millions of web page again, flipping the calendar another millions times, do more calls and send more mails.

So, I send lots of 'hey do you have a minute or two?' to my MSN list. Out of the many, some replied me a big fat NO. Will you be pissed with it? I know I am. For some who have time, I ask them their preferable month to hold the party? 10 out of 10 answer me 'up to you', 'cincai la' and 'anything will do'. Since you give me this answer, WHY THE HECK DO YOU OBJECT WITH THE DATE I SET BEFORE THAT??!!! I'm seriously pissed.

I shall be more professional as what Kenny always said. Yes I should. So I bear with their 'wateverla' attitude and continue with the planning. But, as usual, before during and after the party, no one appreciate the trouble that I've got into. No one seems to care much about it. All they know is that some sucker made this THING for us to enjoy, and we share the cost wert, so why should I care about the process and the trouble that sucker gone through, why should that sucker get the credit? I'm hoping for neither money nor credit, all I want is just appreciation and a 'thank you'. Simple. Guess no one will understand.

So the common month where ALMOST everyone agrees with is December. And here's the reason why:

  • Finish exams de mar....
  • Dec everyone sure will be very free wan...
  • We can celebrate Christmas oso mar....
  • Most of all, LOW LAI YIN the big busy body is the only one who will be having class on the Dec and she might not attend the party due to LK's graduation ceremony at Melbourne. Guess they really wish that I don't attend the party huh...


Sigh... am I really a poor sucky event planner? Good thing I'm not in mass communication, or I'll deathly fail all my paper.

Conclusion of this entry is that people should learn to appreciate things that others did and things that happen around you. I do believe that things happen for a reason. Just like my result. I get such a poor results and the reason? So that I get to study law and move on to UK. That's something that I've been always hope for. So what happen if my result is just as good as I always hope for? The answer is that I'll have to study business at Melbourne next year, because my parents suddenly changed their mind and wanted me to study at Melbourne. Because of my sucky result, I dint manage to get into any law school at Melbourne but to do transfer credit to UK uni. Yea, it is something that I always wanted to do.

Hence, I'll give up soon if I don't get any cooperation from my class mate. Don't say I never warn you. I did!! And don't say I'm not doing my job, I DID!!! It's just everyone seems to be too busy for me.


Till than, Endz...


Love,

Nichole @ Lai Yin

P/s: Class party's update will be post here soon after I've decide and agreed by EVERYONE. Haih.... Hopefully everyone.

New Found Ambition

3 Humble Opinion to The Royal Highness

I've been doing lots of thinking lately and I found out that being a lawyer is not my cup of tea. I'm someone that enjoys life and good fine things such as great coffee and good books. So I decide to go through all kind of process just to find out my idea career. One of the tests I took gave me this answer after a series of questionnaire.

WHAT MAJOR IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

You scored as a French/Spanish/OtherLanguage

You should strongly consider majoring (or minoring) in a foreign language, especially French or Spanish as they have a greater use in today's world. But other languages could be useful to you as well, such as Chinese, Japanese, German, Italian, or many others. With a major in a foreign language you could teach, or work for a company as a translator or foreign correspondant. <br> <br> It is possible that the best major for you is your 2nd, 3rd, or even 5th listed category, so be sure to consider ALL majors in your OTHER high scoring categories (below). You may score high in a category you didnt think you would--it is possible that a great major for you is something you once dismissed as not for you. The right major for you will be something 1) you love and enjoy and 2) are really great at it. <br> <br> Consider adding a minor or double majoring to make yourself standout and to combine your interests. A minor in a foreign language is useful for ANY major. Also, business or political sciences are great minors for a foreign language major. Please post your results in your myspace/blog/journal.

Yea I do agree that I enjoy new language and I did take up Japanese language classes for 2 years and I too sat for International Japanese Language Test. However, due to lack of using this beautiful language, I gave everything back to Sensei. As you can see, there's nothing close to law either. In fact, my childhood ambition were in the list, successful business women who take over my dad's company and build a wisma name under my dad's company. I can tell you that this is still my dream career till this very moment. Unfortunately, my dad sold his company and concentrate on F&B business and investment. Not my cup of tea either. So, should I really listen to this piece of information and major in foreign language? Nah, internet analogy ain't true. I know myself better than the internet questionnaire.


After a few discussions with my close friends and Lai Ming, a big thanks to my lovely little sister, I finally figure out what do I really wanted to do all this while. Drum roll please….. A wife. Yes you hear me right. A WIFE. Of course not some normal ordinary wife. A rich wife. My daily routine will be attending charity function, launching new old folks home, orphanage or a homecare for mental retarded people. I'll than set up a company where I'll hire unfortunate people (deft, dumb, Down syndrome, blind, lost limbs etc) as my worker. So these people will have a job and will not be look down by the society. Of course, this company of mine will not be those bombastic big companies. It'll be something easy and do-able for these people. I'll than uses the profit from this company to provide scholarships to students who are really facing financial problem and really do good in academic. However, this scholarship holder will have to work for a period of time as volunteer working during their free time or during weekend at my company to aid these unfortunate people. I'll also sponsor some useful campaign like those breast cancer campaign, anti AIDS cancer, SPCA, etc.


Do I sound like a Samaritan? I wish I am. I will be one if I'm capable mentally, physically and financially.


How do I reach my newly found ambition? That is to study law. Yea, it still comes back to law. Why? Because when I study law and people that I'll meet in the future, very high percentage will be some rich bastard. Even if not those rich ass, they'll still be people that have certain stage and names in the society. So when I need some 'big' people to launch my campaign, these people will be the idea people to attend and give some generous donation.

Thus, I register into Help University College yesterday and begin my first step in reaching my ambition. Hello Help and good bye Taylor.

Wish me luck people…


Love,

Nichole @ Lai Yin

P/s: to tell the truth, I think being a house wife very tiring, so I decide to be a rich wife, not a house wife. And this is not the real reason why I apply to Help UC.

I'm not in good mood lately. So please pardon me for lack of update and poor quality entry. Why I'm in such a bad mood? Ask Lai Ming or MeeShell. Just a reminder, MeeShell is so blur that she wont know what are you actually asking.

Just a warning to all driver out there, if something is to thrown to your car while you are on the road, please do not stop your car or slow down your car. It's the new way a car-snatcher to snatch your car. Some even uses this idea to snatch you belonging like bags and purse.

This is what happened to Auntie Jessy.









Drive safe and have a nice day.

Truth, Cry and Lie

0 Humble Opinion to The Royal Highness

I won't be furthering my studies.

I'm preparing for my wedding during these few months of holidays.

I'm going to get married with a rich guy call Mr. Rich.

It's a business wedding between my family and their family.

It's my parents and his parent's idea. I have no way to disobey them.

Lai Kwan has a boyfriend already and Lai Ming is still under-age.

I'm the only ideal person.

The wedding is a private wedding at Melbourne, Australia.

After the wedding, I'll be permanently located there with Mr. Rich and take care of our business.

That's why I sit for IELTS so urgently.

Forgive me for not inviting you because it's a private wedding.

Mr. Rich only bare the cost of flying over to Melbourne for family members who are invited.

Forgive me for telling you out of the sudden because IT IS out of the sudden.

Mr. Rich and I both are more than happy to sacrifice for our family.

This is where we share the same thought.

We do have quite a lot in common.

However, please forgive me for what I've done to you, did to you and going to do to you.









GOTCHA!!!


Will you ever believe if I really said this or sent this message to you?

Someone actually did.

Someone that knows me since I'm 14 actually did believe it.

Guess someone do not really understand me.

Even if you don't know my personality, you still have a functioning brain and thought right?

Use it when you have it dude.

Forgive me for squishing your faith towards me.

I did not fool with your trust.

But no one will ever believe it.

And someone is one of my friends that know me but yet someone fell for this lie.

I'm disappointed with someone.

Really disappointed.




Please, someone don't fall for this kind of lie anymore.




Love,

Lots of Short Stories II

1 Humble Opinion to The Royal Highness

The First Meeting Up


It was promise on the Wednesday 11am. He sent me a text message by 10.30am saying he'll be there by 11.30am. Hence, I'll have another 30 minutes for me to walk around before the meeting. By 11.25am, he called.

"Hello…"
"Hey Nic, Markus here. I'm at MV now. Where are you?"
"Hey, I'm still at home. Sorry about…."
"OH MY GOD!!!"
"………"
"YOU SOUND LIKE LAI KWAN!!!"
"Oh really??!! Cool…."
"Anyway, I'll be at MV for quite some times, just give me a call when you're here."
"Okay, sure. Sorry about that."
"Nah, no worry."
"Okay, see you later."
"See you later!!"

I only drive to MV after the phone call. Yes, I lost track on time on some unnecessary things. As the normal Lai Yin, I'm always ahead of the schedule but during this holiday, my brain seems to jam every thing up.
I reach MV by 11.45am and I than ring him.

"Hello Markus….?"
"Ah… Hey Nic…"
"I'm at MV now. Where are you?"
"I'm at Carrefour looking for a DVD player."
"So where should we meet?"
"Hmm… Do you know where restaurant XXX is?"
"Erm, why not McD?"
"Oh, sure. Not a problem. I'll be there by another 5 to 10 minutes."
"Okay, see you than."
"See Ya."

I than went into some shops near McD. I predict that he'll be later than 5 to 10 minutes as he promised. Because I was late and he's mad. About 10 minutes later, he called.

"Hey Nic, I realized there's two McD at MV. Which McD you were talking about?"
"The one next to Carrefour."
"Than I guess I'm at the right place."
"Oh really? I'm near McD as well. Hey I saw you…"

I than pressed the red button on my phone and wave to the guy who wears a cap and holding his phone near to his ear. Standing at the corridor in front of McD, here we are on our very first meet up. He's not as ugly as Lai Kwan describe. For the last whole week, we communicate through SMS's and finally we're here at the busy shopping mall.

*P/S: This is neither a blind date nor an internet-friend date. It's just a friend of my sister.

Results of Transformer movie

Before Transformer….
Feyi: Lai Ming, what car your sis currently driving?
LM : Aveo.
Feyi: What Aveo?
LM : Chevrolet.
Feyi: Huh, what's a Chevrolet?


After Transformer…


Feyi: Eh Lai Ming, will your dad get you a new car after you pass your driving?

LM : Nope. I'll be sharing car with my sister.

Feyi: What car?
LM : Aveo, Chevrolet.
Feyi: CHEVROLET????!!!! VERY EXPENSIVE WAN WOR….!!!




Just because Bumblebee in Transformer is a Chevrolet, everyone knows what's a Chevrolet and they think it's a sports car brand and EXPENSIVE. The truth is, NOPE. NOT AT ALL.

Thank You VS Terima Kasih

During my volunteer job period, I realized Malay prefer to mix around with Malays and Chinese with Chinese. At University Putra Malaysia, my mom's own a cafeteria at their Kolej 12&14, which is their hostel name. There, like I said, I work as one of the cashier voluntarily there. The full-time cashiers there are all Malays, but they're very nice towards me. I wonder is it because I'm the boss' daughter? Some of the stalls tenders are friendly too. But, mostly are because I'm the daughter of my dad. They are just trying to respect the big boss. However, there's two new tender this semester. They're new and they dint know who am I. So they kind of disturbed me. Too bad I maximize my mp3's volume and pretend not to see them. I'm not scared of them, like they will complain to my dad that I ignore them. Anyway, 80% of the students at UPM are Malays, 9% Chinese, 4% Indian, 4% other Malaysia's races and 3% other countries' nation (not the exact ratio. It's just base on my gross guessing.). And this semester, female seems to dominate the university. So I'll be facing tons of wonton.

When ever the customers pay for their purchase, we have to thanks them. However, I'm a Chinese and I'm get used to say thanks instead of terima kasih. So, there's a small amount of Malays girls give me a why-is-the-cashier-a-Chinese look. Is not because I do not respect them nor raciest, but 'thank you' is shorter than 'terima kasih'. Thank you is just 2 syllabus where else Terima Kasih have 5 syllabus. Think about it. When there's a long queue waiting behind, do I still spend extra seconds just to say 'Terima Kasih'? I could save up times and increase my productivity by just simply saying a 'Thank You'.


So, is Thank You a bad thing to say to malay?


Is there any different between Terima Kasih and Thank You other than language?

Addiction


Here's a list of the things I'm addicted. The numbering is base on the ranking of seriousness of my addiction.

  • Coffee
  • Junkie



  • Story books
  • Nap
  • Mountain climbing/ jogging




  • Reading blogs
  • Manicure/ pedicure
  • Facial and masks
  • Shoes
  • Teddy bear/plush toys
  • TV
  • MP3
  • Bags
  • Make-up

Due to lack of money, it causes lack of supply for the things above, so I have to lower my demand in order to reach equilibrium. How do I lower my demand? Curb my addiction is the only solution. Here are the things that I have to curb and the solution to curb it.



  • Junkie. I lock my junkie inside the store room and my mom will keep the keys. As long as no junkie appears in front of me, I do curb my addiction.
  • Coffee. Substitute it with milk tea to reduce my addiction towards my demand of caffeine. Than slowly substitute milk tea with Chinese tea. It does work and I'm still working on it.
  • Story books. Try not to visit book stall too often. If has to, bring enough money for necessity only. Or read the books in a slower rate. I'm getting broke by buying 2 books in a week. Or borrow it from friend. But this doesn't work. I don't borrow books from anyone.
  • Nap. Don't get near to my bed, or sister's bed or parent's bed. Try not to enter rooms if possible. Keep my self busy. Do not really work thou.
  • Mountain climbing/ jogging. Not going to curb this addiction. It's a good addiction.
  • Reading blogs. Only go online before bed. So I'll get sleepy and too tired to read the same blog over and over again.
  • Manicure/ pedicure. Do it myself. It saves me a lot. And I'm brain washing Lai Kwan to do it herself as well.
  • Facial and masks. Not going to curb it since my mom pay for it.
  • Shoes. Store my entire shoe collection into my closet. Every time when I open my closet and look at it than I'll get terrified by the amount of shoe I've got. Does not really work when there's Mega sales and Year End sales.
  • Teddy bear/ plush toys. Not getting near any toy shop. Hide all my teddy away from me except for the 2 teddy that had be with me since I'm young. Yes, laugh all you can.
  • TV. Not bother to curb it anyway. It doesn't cost me a buck.
  • MP3. If possible try using a CD player instead as my MP3 eats AAA battery like mad, I do mean literally.
  • Bags. I don't pay for my bags. Lai Kwan does.
  • Make-up. Well, not really addiction. I just wanted to get new mascara when ever I get near to any. But I could control myself as I already have 3 unfinished mascaras.

There you see, I manage my addiction well and I also make use of my economics knowledge. Well done to Lai Yin. YAY!!!

Love,

Nichole @ Lai Yin

The butterfly lover

0 Humble Opinion to The Royal Highness

I love orchestra. The ‘Butterfly lover’ is just so beautiful. Their performance took my breath away.

Minutes before the orchestra starts, Jen sent me a text message. She told me that our result will be releasing on the 9th August. This message strike me like a boomerang. I have no idea what to do that moment. I can’t show my worry look to the audience beside me. They pay the same amount as I did but they have to suffer my worries with me. This is not fair to them. So I hide it properly behind my face. I’m a happy person in everyone’s face but the truth, I’m worry. I need to talk to someone at that moment. I need someone listen to my whimper. I’m scared. My heart beat so fast that it almost fell out from its place. My tears of worry formed a river deep in my heart. I’m weak in that moment. I may not even stand if I have to. My hands were trembling.

When the orchestra begins, my worry had faded away together with my other thoughts. The magical notes that came from those traditional Chinese instruments took over my brain and I totally blend into the fantastic music they made. They projector beside the stage showing what does the song that they’re performing is about. They even tell the faster motion part describes which part of the story and the slower represent which part. They made the story alive. They tell the story by their music. They brought miracle to us. They made my day.

Looking at those musicians playing their instrument attentively yet enjoying, I regret not joining them when I’m able to. Their every move is so even and they did it all together. My eyes did not look away from the stage. I’m so into the music and every move of the musician.

During the 15 minutes break, I recall back all the songs and sounds. It makes me feels better. It brings smiles to my face. It brings life to me. When I was enjoying my feedback, my phone vibrates.
“Hello….”
“Hey Lai Yin, Jimmy here….”
“Hey… what’s up?”
“Did you saw me?”
“Yea, I saw you and Seh Hoon, just sitting the row beside mine.”
“Oh…hmm… I just call to say hi….”
“okay~~ hi…..”
“okay, c ya than…”
“ Cya….”
For your info, they’re just sitting few sits beside me. I can only say that they’re rich.

That day’s weather symbolizes my emotion. When we just reached CHS, it was raining; my heart was crying with tears of worry. And when the concert ends, it’s a bright sunny day again, my smile craw back to my face and I felt better already.

----
The barbeque party host by my dad was a success, but the fish is a bit not well ‘burn’. Anyway, every guest had lots of fun and they all love the party.

For Lai Ming and I, hosting a great party is consider nothing amazing or fantastic since The Low family loves hosting parties. It’s just so normal to me since young.

No pictures for the party and the ‘butterfly lover’. Sorry.

Love,
Nichole @ Lai Yin
