Temporarily away.

Sorry everyone. Currently I don't have access to the net, so I won't be updating the blog for some time. And also quite busy lately.

So cheers! =)

Thank you, everyone for all your birthday wishes.

Thanks again, everyone for your wishes. Thank you Kathleen, Khay Wei, Jason, Cho Yaw, Joel, Hezra, Kwang Yang, Xelloss, Li Ting, Daniel, Ben, Suet, Match, Syin, VectorBot, Aki, wolfx, kcyap, Jean, Chee Yee, Wei Perng, Diana, Chia Wei, Yuh Ming, Jun Wen, Yu Bin, DayDreamerz, Alvin, billy, victorchew, nick210214, artreyu, sksti, wolfman, Spawn_RX, milf, LemoNHearT, Evangelion, serena, michie, darklord, rational thinker, lynnee, fishtail, noprojects, everyone at #mybloggers and anyone else whose name I have left out.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm really a bad friend.

No, I AM a bad friend.

I rarely remember other people's birthday...and even forget to contact most of my old friends. I'm always too absorbed in my current life to really care about other people.

And yet, there are people who still remembers my birthday, year after year, even though I never contact with them for long.

Really, I salute you, my friends. I really appreciate everything, all your thoughts and wishes for me.

I'm really grateful to have you as my friend, my friends.

=)


Yum yum~!!

Raven's Progressive Matrices: What you should do a day before your birthday.

What should you do a day before your birthday?

THIS

Why, you ask? Simply because the calculations for your IQ differs with age. =D



Raven's Progressive Matrices is a widely used intelligence test to measure an individual's cognitive level by finding the missing piece in each series of graphical patterns. Did this test once a few years ago when I was on an interview for a scholarship to study in Singapore. (I failed, of course. T_T)

"Raven's Progressive Matrices was designed primarily as a measure of Spearman's g. There are no time limits and simple oral instructions."

...then WHY THE HECK is the site giving a time limit of 40 minutes to answer 39 blardy questions?!?!?

...119....Ok-lar....don't know how much I will get if I key in my age as 20 instead. ;P

I wonder how much will Brian Chong get?


DON'T ask me WHY there's lipstick on my face. -_-"

I mean, he's the top 5% of ALL the students in the WORLD who's taking SAM for heaven sake!!!


99.95%. How high could ANYONE's marks get?

And it is no comfort knowing that he plays DOTA almost all the time.

So, would these factors qualify him as a genius?


MUAWAHAHAHA!!! I'M THE KING OF GENIUSES!!!!

What do YOU think? ;D

P.S: According to my 'unconfirmed sources', Mr. Brian might be shifting in next door to me. =(

A Lonely Birthday Girl Tomorrow...when the clock strikes 12.

Tomorrow's my birthday. The time of the year has come again; a day which marks the passing of another graceful year.

This year, I'm keeping a low profile, solely because I'm having my Grade 8 LCM drums examination on 16th August. A birthday is NOTHING when compared to an exam.

But still, I can't help but sigh on it.

How I wish, my birthday will be a day when everyone who's dear to me are by my side.
How I wish, all my friends will give me a warm hug and wish me best of luck in my life.
How I wish, someone...anyone will surprise me with a bunch of flowers or something totally sweet.
How I wish, a guy will give me a peck on my cheeks and hold me tight while wishing me, "Happy Birthday"...and give me a smile that would take my breath away.

How I wish....

.....sigh.

No point wishing. Because it won't happen anyway no matter how much I yearn for it.

Well, I can just look at these yummy birthday cakes and cupcakes for now....and wish they were mine..... =)


Yes, they're all edible!!! Yummy, right?

Really liked those extremely artistic and pretty cakes I saw with Jason that day at Bread History in Times Square...Maybe I'll try getting one of those. =)

I wonder how many candles will be on my birthday cake this year? 2 big giant ones?

Perhaps, my birthday cake will look something like this?

All About Alyssa. [Chapter 1]

Just realised I haven't really introduced myself yet...so here goes!! =D

________________________________________________________________________
Hello, my name is Alyssa, born on 15th August 1985, currently still single, and wishes to be as lenglui as HER.


How I wish I'm as 'lenglui' as her!!! =(

I'm currently studying medicine in IMU (2nd semester)...

Nice angle shot of a crappy building.

and stays at an apartment in Sri Petaling during schooling days with my two SUPER SWEET PRINCESSES housemates, Kath & K-wei.

Me and my "lovely" housemates auditioning for "The Ring 3".

...but returns back home to my house in Kajang during weekends and school holidays.

Front porch of my house.
Disclaimer: The girl in white is NOT ME!! The girl in white is NOT ME!! She's some crappy model my parents hired to pose for our house's picture.
...what? You ask me why she's wearing the same clothes as me? Oh that's because she's so out of job and couldn't afford to buy nice clothes, so I lend mine to her.
I'm so good hor? Nominate me for the next Nobel Peace Prize ba. ;P

Sometimes, I like to take pictures of myself (so that I can boast to my children when I'm old) *evil*

Looks good...but not good enough. Hope you'll get nightmares tonight.


and also of my garden...


Looks more like a jungle to me.

I also have a flair for photography...


Really like the artistic feel of these 3 photos I took.

and plays the drums too!!!

Don't ask me WHY my drums set is inside my car. -___-"

I've done many silly things in my life...

Can't you read?!! That spells "B-A-L-L".
....not THAT kind of balls, mind you!

Done many odd jobs...

Working on New Year's eve, can YOU believe it?!! Sigh~ I'm sooo lonely!!! T_T

Reads kennysia's blog constantly...

Hairy legs...Mmmm...SEXY!! *pukes*

and writes some pretty emotional literary pieces when I'm down. =(

Exceprt 1: An Eternity with you...
Excerpt 2: Serendipity. Alcohol. Lust.
Excerpt 3: Red, Endless Red...
Excerpt 4: Death:Rebirth.再不见. (in Chinese)

Last but not least, I collect some anime figurines as a hobby, and wasted damn lot of money....sigh!!! Don't worry, I'm not buying anymore.




Photos I took end of last year.

Anything else you wanna know about me? Feel free to leave a comment and I'll answer you in the next chapter of...All About Alyssa.

Cheers! =D

Choking in the Dust.

Haze.

How I hate 'em.

Funny though I've never been really bothered when the same crisis hit Malaysia in 1997.

Now, I'm so pissed off with the whole blurry sky, dusty air, ithcy throat, and sore eyes.

Maybe because when this stupid haze slammed the daylight right out of the whole country this year, I already have pre-arranged plans which require me to run back and forth around Kajang, PJ & KL.

Hmmm, sounds a lot like a love triangle to me. =D

The situation have been worsening day by day, and I let out a sigh of relief TODAY when I woke up to the bright rays of sun creeping into my bedroom.

At least, today, I can see the sun.

And thank god the API in the two areas declared as emergency dropped further again today from 531 to 293 in Kuala Selangor 529 to 314 in Port Klang.

However, sad to say, the API on other areas are still on the rise....although now. we can at least see the sun. Especially in Shah Alam, which currently has the highest API of 412. Meanwhile, KL's API has risen to 365, PJ's to 363, and Country Heights, Kajang to 259.

And I thought today the API would have dropped. But I was gravely wrong. Probably this is because API is not measured solely on the level of dust particles in our air, but also nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide and multiple other gases dangerous to our fragile body.

Hope this haze disaster will clear up soon. We're all choking in the dust....

**All API readings are taken at 11am, 12th August 2005.

API readings on 11th Aug hit an all time high (Bernama)

Repercussion of the stained.

Have you ever....

Halt in your steps, take a deep breath, and ponder WHAT THE HELL you're doing?

When all along, you've just gone with the flow of life...and every single day passed with you just mechanically materialising whatever decisions you've deemed best on THAT VERY MOMENT.

Everything just brushed your shoulders in the blink of an eye while you stepped bravely forward, taking each stride in the path of the direction you've chosen, without much hint of doubt, just because you've set your mind on it in an earlier phase of life.

Days passed. People around you came and went. Life continues.

People changed.

YOU changed.

BUT, did you realise it?

Did you identify the small and insignificant changes of your own ideality and focus, which accumulated to shape an impact in your ultimatum, an invisible detour in your path, without your consciousness?

No regrets. No looking back. Keep stepping forward, and forward, and forward, AND FORWARD.....

Forward, forward, forward......

......in the wrong direction.

A simple minor deviation would not do you any harm in a single step.

But how about in the course of a few years?

You continue threading forward, forward, and forward.....

......and when you stop to take a breath, you're already lost in an infamiliar environment that you did not desire. Stranded. Stripped. Tattered.

Turning back?

Continue striving forward?

Take a short cut?

Decisions made. YOU chose the best path to thread AT THAT VERY MOMENT you were living them.

YES,they were THE RIGHT decisions to make, then, in the past.

But, how about NOW?

Are you still making decisions based on your past, not true to your current context?

You're forsaken on the shore of an island, and all the world has left for you is the bounderless raging sea....

Would you yearn to jump into the raging and unforgiving waves, abandoning the comforts and security provided by the island, and estaticly embrace the unlimited possibilities of the borderless sea?

Or would you rather be contently abstained by the limits of the island, than risk being drowned?

YOU DECIDE.

Retrograde AND Anterograde Amnesia.

Oh gawd. I think maybe I'm having Alzheimer or something, have been really forgetful lately. Too many junks in my head! Damn I'm so messed up now....T_____T

I need to get myself a dose of coffee or something PRONTO to wake me up, I might as well be sleep walking now.

And who says holidays are relaxing??!!

Now, I think I should just concentrate on my drums exam while juggling my part-time work at Wisma Genting.

And it's not a comforting thought that Arthur Kam is taking the same exam as me this year!!! Competitor!!!!!!!!



I MUST BEAT YOU ARTHURRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!! ARGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

You've already obtained your Grade 8 Trinity College certificate at a whopping 92%, why must you sit for LCM's Grade 8 exam too, and at the same time as me pulak?!?!?!

ARGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!

I don't care that I'm 20 years old and you're only 13 years old.

I don't care whether you're the poster boy for Bentley music or not.

All I know I must pass this exam no matter what and if possible try to obtain a merit or distinction.

T_T

Curse of 23rd street.

What's with the number 23? Why is it those two guys that I really liked in my life have the same house number, 23? Likewise, my house number is ALSO 23. And I just noticed both their addresses do not have a street number. Lucky mine's Jalan XXXXXXX SATU, otherwise I will just totally freak out.

Coincidence? I wonder...

NOTE: Both didn't really work out for me, but I hope some things will change soon. Sigh.
