a little something for mum. a poem by Joanne Taylor Green. got it from the net, sorry mum, i tried writing one for you. didn't work, im not that original.haha.

To My Mum

If I could choose someone to be my friend I’d choose you
And haven’t I been doubly blessed that you’re my mother too!

When the world seems too much to bear
And I need someone to lighten my load
You always see some goodness or way out, no matter what the road

You offer me the best advice and a sympathetic ear
You’re practical and comforting that’s why I hold you dear

You’re the first one with the tissues
First one with champagne
I hope you’ll never ever change
And always stay the same

I haven’t been the best of daughters
I haven’t always done as you taught us

But you gave me the freedom to learn from my mistakes
And I had the chance to turn around just before it was too late

I just want to finish with a very special prayer
I hope love and happiness will be with you everywhere.

Lots of love, from alithea. hugs and kisses.

LOVE YOU MUM!!! have a blessed birthday. =)

ps, do i look like my mum?

the chronicles of kuantan

so, i went back to kuantan over the weekend. and it was really fun.
catching up with my family. saying hi to my little nephew.visiting the new mall. had my hair cut. though my parents said there was no difference. i also noticed that there was no difference. its just a little bit shorter and thinner, i suppose.

what did i do back home :

1. eat, mum's cooking is the best in the WORLD!!
and i was fed and fed, everyday i had my favourite dishes, all lined up for me.
thanks mum. you're the best =)

this is what i should look like now after the trip back home.


i had lai fun for breakfast, its the only one in MALAYSIA.
well, there are others, but i only like this one.haha.

yum!
then mum made chicken pie for dinner. woohooo!!
the next day, for dinner we had home-made burgers. not bad mum, you're getting better at cooking with age *sheepish smile*

on saturday we brought little bob, to the new mall. which i haven't been before. and not bad, kuantan is improving itself. next you know, i won't have to come down to KL to shop for Chinese New Year. cool.
there i went and cut my hair. after they did their thing, i came out with a funky hairstyle. they blow and everything, always only last for about 2 hours and then my waves starts working its way 'curly-ing' my hair back. haha.
kuantan now got sushi king, and i found out that my mum didn't know i didn't really like japanese food. =S

after the 4 day trip here i am again in KL, studying and blogging at the same time.
exams are starting again tomorrow, not really looking forward to it. its kinda dreadful come to think of it.

i guess this says it all about how im feeling about the exams. =S


*stress*


ps, come to think of it, i ate a lot back home. we went to crocodile rock too. banana toffee rocks!

a title? for this?

well, my days usually start out by me snoozing the alarm clock. i always set it way way earlier than i can actually wake up. so i'll end up snoozing it for 3 or more times. record i think was 5 times. *sniggers*

my days are pretty normal, on the days i don't have to go to college, that is - wakes up, brushes teeth, takes bath, eats breakfast, checks emails, studies, eats lunch, maybe play a little bit of squash (i'm trying to lose 5kg)

then, all of a sudden you'll have regina calling me in the middle of my squash game.
our conversation went like this :

alithea : hello?
regina : hello, alithea?
alithea : yeah?
regina : urm, we all want to see narnia, to destress, stats paper was killer (i may have re-phrased here and there, can't really remember exactly)
alithea : oh
regina : you wanna come?
alithea : errr, but im playing squash, and im sweaty. what time you guys going?
regina : err, like now. we are already walking to the car.
alithea : but im sweaty?
regina : oh ok lah, if like that never mind lah.
alithea : eh, but i want to goooooooo toooo. can u guys like wait for me to mandi first?
regina : ok ok, i'll call you back.

*hangs up*

so, ruben waited for me in college, while the rest of them went and buy the tickets.
i had a crazy bath, but i assure you that i took a good, clean shower. =)

at the end of the day,we ended up watching iron man. me, shan and ann.
jien and ruben watched the later narnia movie.

things i do with my friends *ponders*



iron man was AWESOME!!! i might even admit that it was better than transformers.
transformers was excellent, but iron man is even better. my rm7 well spent. =)

here's a few things we did on the last day of our 2nd semester. so fast. =(

me and pree.

one tree hill?


cf played water balloons too.
they looked like eggs. it was so nice to play with them. LOL

ps, im going back to kuantan tomorrow. YAY!!


*end*

betrayal

mark this day.
i sat for my english literature unit 3 today. it was hamlet. and guess what.....i think i totally flunk it. not to say im hoping to do badly or anything, but yeah. paper was difficult, time was short and i totally didnt know what to write. i stared at the paper for 10 whole minutes. scary!

after that 10 minute stare, i told myself that i had to start writing if i wanted to finish on time. and there started my nonsense and gibberish. im just praying and hoping the examiner knows what im trying to convey. =S i myself may not understand what i was trying to convey.

i can't believe hamlet just betrayed me. i sayang him, i even eat with him ok. that was how loyal i was to hamlet. i took him with me when i take my naps outside at the hall, so he won't feel so lonely in my room.

in conclusion, i have just been betrayed. should have known, since he betrayed Ophelia too. Do u think i'll go mad?? =S

ps, im really depressed. not really looking forward to my results in august. save me someone. =(


*end*

optimism

something to remind us that life is awesome and that we all should live it to the fullest.
not waste time moaning and moping around just because, well, it doesn't go as planned. If everything was all smooth sailing, then where will all the drama be? it'll be so boring. (haha) =)

"put a little smile on your face,
life's not all rainy days,
it ain't really that bad.

wash your troubles away,
take a little moment to say,
I'm living the good life."

so, smile! its contagious. =)

invisible

Words can't describe just how pretty your smile is to me
How do you define a beauty that you've never seen
I think there could be something more
But I'm wasting time
with you on my mind
as hard as I try I'm ignored
Chorus
I sing a song but you can't hear as you walk by me
you walk by me and I'll catch my breath
I'll sing again and I pretend that you might like me
you might like me but it's all in my head
it's all in my head
Verse 2
I don't know why I just can't stop thinking of you
it hurts me inside cause I can't figure out what to do
I've never felt like this for someone before
why can't you hear me
why can't you hear me
I wish you could see but you don't
Chorus
Bridge
Oh I feel so invisible
Oh I feel so invisible
Chorus

song by chester see
i found this through my friend and then went on to check his myspace.
awesome music!
love them all. =)

of hamlet and literature class

yesterday regina and i watched HAMLET the movie by kenneth branagh.
it was good, it was the whole play actually.exactly.
and it was 4 HOURS long.kinda crazy.but yeah.it was a good 4 hour. =)

having visual aids for your studies are always good. hey, it beats trying to memorize the whole book.

'ay, there's the rub' this sentence has been in my mind the whole day,and i haven't a clue what it means. =S
Kenneth branagh as hamlet was really good.he was Iago in Othello.
i can say he is a very convincing actor.his antic disposition was hilarious.

Polonius : Do you know me, my Lord?
Hamlet : Excellent, excellent well : you are a fishmonger.

after this exchange, i burst out laughing. polonius, for a counselor to the king, is pretty dumb,letting hamlet play with his 'limited wit'. 'fishmonger' here would also mean that hamlet is equating polonius to a pimp. LOL

well, Ophelia was played by Kate Winslet. and she was a character alright.
i wont forget what she did when she became mad.

Ophelia : Quoth she, before you tumbled me,
You promis'd me to wed.
So would I ha' done by yonder sun,
And thou hadst not come to my bed.

it was so unexpected and so hilarious.i couldn't stop laughing. though its not nice to laugh at mad people. Jien, if you're reading this you would know what im talking about.haha.

and robin williams played Osric. a minor character to provide comic relief.
he was so gay,i tell u he was funny, so robin williams. he rocks!

anyway,everyone should watch HAMLET. it'll be the best 4 hours of your life.
it made my day =)


*end*

ps, im going to miss Dr. Fernandez. she's an awesome lecturer, and super hilarious.
i'll miss all her bombastic words that i dont understand but never bother finding out(haha)
i'll miss her saying, "how's everyone? screaming, shouting, weeping?" after every class.
i'll miss her, trying to convince us that we can do ok, better than we think we can. and we'll all give her a face. =S
i'll miss her little kitchen timer to tell her that class is over.
i'll miss all her jokes about 'an old black ram is tupping your white ewe' from othello.

lastly, i'll really miss her, she is so fun. gave literature a whole other meaning =)

things i need to do.

here's my top 5 list of the things i need to do after exams or when i have the time.
my room is beginning to look like a cave full of stuff, i cannot begin to describe. =S

5. rearrange my books and papers

4. rearrange my shelf

3. rearrange my cd collection

2. rearrange my closet. (i just chuck my clothes everywhere, ask my sister,she took a picture. to blackmail me or something)

and no.1
i really need to clear the things at the bottom of my bed and throw things that i dont need away. you'll be surprise with all the junk i actually have. =S

but 1st, i must study. =)

*end*

ps, how all these people even find my blog is mind boggling.

calm down

Psalm 46 : 10 - Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

yesterday's devotion really struck home. it was Wednesday, and i have 2 free periods in between break. i hadn't finish my business studies' homework so i decided to do it fast and then take a nap. i slept at 3am the night before, needed to finish the moral project. and no, i didn't see the match between Man U and Barca. Barca lost, so it was good i didn't see it, i would have cried.haha

anyway, half way doing my homework, i remembered that i hadn't done my morning devotion for the day.so i closed my book and headed for the stairs, somewhere quite.

i flipped the pages to the 30th of April, the title was 'calm down'
i read through it and felt that God was trying to tell me something : i needed to relax and understand that God is in charge.

lately, i've been getting my trials results back, and they ain't pretty i assure you. it was depressing and upsetting. i was trying to think what went wrong, i studied like mad, loss sleep too. i was so tired after the exams, i slept a whole Saturday.
i told my parents about my results and telling them i would lose my scholarship, they told me to not worry, that they'll always support me no matter what. They just wanted me to be happy.
to be honest, i was really disappointed in myself and even with my parents' words of encouragement, i felt like a failure.

i needed reassurance that it'll be better. and i got it.
God was telling me i should relax and remember He is in control.
it's so funny, i woke up today with a song stuck in my head, it has been awhile since i sang the song. Im happy its stuck in my head, its my reminder. =)

'When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father You are King over the flood
I will be still and know You are God.'

i now know that i can't study like pree. i got to study like i used to. i think it works better for me. i'll take it easy like i always did. =)
