look-alike?

apparently we look alike.

do we?

i think its funny though =D

*end*

jump jump, points at fireworks

new year resolutions?
i havent thought of any

one thing i know,
i dont want the holidays to end
though its inevitable. =(

i need to get out more.
i want to listen to more good music,
read more good books,
write more,
listen more,
play more,
draw more,
work harder,
and have fun all the while.
i guess that's part of a new year resolution huh?!

i really hope this year will be as good as 2009 if not better!

As we approach a New Year, i thought we could do with a bit of good advice,
"when in deadly danger,
when beset by doubt,
run in little circles, wave your arms and shout
'Happy 2010 everyone'"

HAPPY NEW YEAR people!! =)


*end*

the wheel of the bus go round and round

im overwhelmed.
i think im stressing out.
no surprise there.
oh, and English judges are pretty long-winded.

books are heavy.
words are small and tiny.
life is busy.
i feel kinda hippy.

flower power!

assignments are killer right now. what did i get myself into?
hmm...
i need to read, read, read.
to the library!

random picture, random fact : i like sunflowers =)
makes me feel happy.

*end*

made

i think i need to stop watching MTV made.
seriously!
but i really love the show. so, i dont think not watching will really be an option.
first the show is really fun, and it's really cool.
it shows you that anyone can be anything they wanna be =) if they put their mind to it.


oh, in case you dont know what MTV made is.
its a reality tv show that helps kids be 'made' into something they wanna be.
like maybe a tom boy who wants to be a pageant queen. something like that.

my favourites episodes are when
this ditzy girl wanted to be made into an ice hockey player.
and this very non-athletic girl wanted to be a snowboarder.
and i learnt not to be a SPORE from the latter episode

Stupid People On Rented Equipment.

awesome!!
so far, because of the show, i want to be a snowboarder, an ice hockey player, take up ballet again, try hip hop and play football.
things i probably can do. but would be kinda afraid of at first because it involves me getting hurt.
but if they can do it, why cant i? right?
it makes me want to really rock climb too.hehe.
big ambitions eh?!


I wanna be MADE!!

late night ramblings

life has a funny way of pulling the rug under your feet
and letting you know that you've been standing on a pothole all this time.

*falls*

now where's that torch light when you need it?


random fact about me : I L-O-V-E pool =)


*end*

ps, a big happy birthday to pree!

of books

...though I have not many, I have more that I ever look into.

-Bingley
-Pride and Prejudice

its pretty true. i have a few books sitting on my shelf not read.
they're calling me.


*end*

free publicity

its not a recent revelation but i have a very noticeable inclination towards minor keyed songs.

ask my roommate.

that's why i always prefer the villain's song.
not that i like the main (good) character to get it all the time, but don't you think minor songs give you a kind of nice feeling?

doesn't it make you happy?

When i stuff my pillow into my pillowcase,
I punch myself in the face.
Do come and book a place,
at our CrossRoads, Easter maze.

so yeah, MCKL hall, April 3rd.
be there or be square!!!

poetic influence

mind's a mess,
life's a test,
i just bought a dress,
lately, i've been full of gas.

*my big, ginormous, grin*

alithea's take on being poetic.
still not as terer as regina though.
but im getting there. =)

ps, valentine's was a blast. i know we made a lot of girls happy, and a lot of guys broke. *evil laugh*
flowers?


*end*

mouth, eyes wide open

i have a tendency to stare *even though i know its wrong*
so if i do, it means there's something odd.

don't say i didnt warn you. *wide grin*



*end*

DUH - eeerrrr

blank mind
so random is the only way i can go and still make sense
*i dont think im making sense*

i need creative people, but if you're not, its ok *big smile*

i have issues *runs to get some tissues*

tried to push my hugebeyondbelieve hips in, by sleeping on the side on a really hard floor.
*dont think it worked though*

STRESS!! and excited at the same time.

i need sleep.
*drops dead, and falls asleep*


*end*

spacing out

fun and mental is fundamental

but really, during exam periods,
you're just mental.

quantum physics

growing up, i have had my fair number of aspirations and dreams.
some stayed, some was well, just me being ambitious.

so, today was with pree and we were talking about MIT.
me telling her that it wasnt an ivy league, she didnt really believing me.
but yeah, so i said that i used to want to be an engineer specializing in nano technology.
then she laugh at me.
-_-

so anyway, yeah.
then i said i used to REALLY want to be an engineer, for some strange reason,
until i stumbled upon a subject called physics.
and that dream sort of sizzled away.

physics and i had a fairly good relationship when we first met.
then as we got to know each other,
things started to change.
he [physics] was always being so difficult.
we just couldnt see eye to eye.
then at one point, we just couldnt understand each other.
together, we just gave up on the relationship.

so, basically thats how my 2 year relationship with physics ended.
pretty traumatizing too.
smashed my dreams of being an engineer.
sad.



*end*

banyak orang

so, today went to college when i didnt have to.
i didnt know. nobody told me =(
so i woke up so early. but good also lah, then at least i can experience the 'morning' in the.....morning.
not eat breakfast during lunch time.


12 something pm
*ring ring*
alithea : hello?
pree : hello al? you baru bangun ke?
alithea : err, yeah.
pree : what are you doing?
alithea : erm, eating breakfast?


anyway, saw the new jannies today.
so banyak. they were sprouting from all over the college like mushrooms
so crowded. they were in room 2.6 till the back.
how is datin going to teach them malaysia studies? 3 classes ar?
the horror. when they sit for malaysian studies test, not only do they have to sit at the corridor but at the staircase too. too many heads.

not bad lah, talked to some of them, though not a lot.
met this japanese guy. so cute.
i know how to say his name, not so sure how to spell it.
pree dragged him into the marketing room and interrogate the poor little japanese boy.
but i kinda encouraged her, so maybe i should take some of the blame, if the boy becomes 'sot-sot' because of us. haha

oklah, better get back to studying.
toodles!!


*end*

hmmm....

so, its been awhile
and it seems even longer when you are sort of down with writer's block.

I suck!
those watching one tree hill, would know what i mean.
i know right now, im being totally random and my sentences don't seem to make sense.
yeah, cos' my brain is not making any sense to me either.
HELP!

anyway, what have i been doing these past few weeks?
well, im in KL.
been going to college to study and do the vision magazine with annora.
helped out at an education fair - boy, was that tiring!
applied for uni.
going to apply for other universities.
and going back next week. weeeeee...

i think that about sums up how im spending my holidays.
staying up late, does nothing to make my back better. (i feel like an old lady already)

so, yeah.
life's like this.
great.

yellow yellow dirty fellow

just a few experimental pictures we took last wednesday, or was it thursday? no no, wednesday, i was snoring at home on thursday.


the sky was not so nice. but the balloon had fun anyway. the yellow balloon's name is banana by the way.


even balloons need to be up to date with current events.


nothing like jiving in the library with a very bright yellow balloon.


a little love goes a long way =D

annora was the camera girl =)

funny quotes

here are a few things i found really funny, said by people i actually know.

1. i was teaching bm to Li-Jin and we were learning about kata adjektif and we were at words describing feelings. and it came to the word sedih, and i asked him to translate, he didnt know. so i decided to try this :

alithea : you cry when you are....?
li-jin : gay?

i couldnt stop laughing. he's face was priceless.

2. ann and i went to see 'Crazy little thing called love' in my church yesterday. and then we met up with pree to go out for dinner, then we were walking around BV. went into Zara and looked around at things we know we cannot afford. pree picked up a dress with a plunging neckline.

alithea : wah, so low.
annora : she wants to show her ni-nis *big grin*

it was so funny. we now have a new word, courtesy of annora ong.

3. this just happened just now. apparently my singing is very audible to my roommates even though im pretty sure i toned it down.

*on msn* we stay in the same room but we find technology more convenient than talking. LOL

wendy : is that elliot too? *i was sing a missy elliot song earlier*
alithea : now? its oasis, wonderwall
wendy : tsk tsk, my bad. i shall tune in more to ali.fm

my own radio? im not sure whether i should feel honoured or insulted. haha
i'll take it as a compliment. =)

here are some from people i dont know.

1. Girls are like phones. We love to be held, talked to but if you press the wrong button you'll be disconnected!

2. The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on - robert bloch

and finally, from the genius himself :

3. you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is 'never try' - Homer Simpson


*end*

ps, i think i want to learn Hebrew. the language is so beautiful.
its my 50th post!!! this calls for some celebration. =D

critical analysis

ok, i actually dont really have anything to write. but since i have sort of neglected my blog here for a very long time, i might as well, put something in.

i was watching step up 2 yesterday, after it took forever to download.
it was ok lah, must be very honest, it wasnt as good as the prequel.
step up is suppose to be all about dancing, but suddenly the 2nd one was all full of 'other' things.
anyway, one good point was that the final dance was awesome! the music and the whole she-bang was just off the chart. made me want to dance too. LOL

i dont know if anyone noticed, but when moose was dancing alone, his moves were from michael jackson. and he did sort of looked like him. anyway, that was the trivia of the day.

here's something i thought would provoke some mind thinking.
i'll leave you guys with something i changed from A Walk to Remember :-

some things are just like the wind,
you can't see it,
but you know it's there.


*end*

cf committee

i was bored, so i went and looked at the committee pictures again.
and every time a picture came out, i would burst out laughing, my roommates might think im crazy, if they haven't already.
every one of the pictures had something for me to laugh at.

so i decided to share the laughter with everyone out there. hope they'll put a smile on your face as they have for me countless times.


zoom in to Chee Yip's face. Don't forget to look at Ian too.
*Ian : how come Chee Yip gets all the attention?*



now, everyone should focus on Gabriel.
it's his FIERCE look. he might just punch me for putting this picture up.


this is for CJ.
he looks like he need the loo, pretty badly too.
*payback for that sleeping picture*



i think this was the best. =)

there are more, but it's kinda late, and the pictures are so big, it takes forever.
if you guys want to see all of it. its in my laptop. =D

ps, click the pictures to get a better view.

*end*

packages

good things come in small packages, but the best things are free.

i've met so many people this past few weeks and got to know them more in cf camp.
i guess being in a completely different surrounding really builds character. and it lets you know that you're can be scared sometimes and not always tough. (Xena warrior princess?)


small packages, small packages.
some dedications as i had not enough time to thank everyone during my sharing. (or for some people who didnt pay attention)
to name a few :

wen jo, my little creative partner.
love working with you and i admire your zest and passion for God. you're one action-pack when it comes to brain-storming for creative ideas. love your notices and i thank you for covering for me during all the busy-ness with the camp booklet and name-tags =)

pik wen, my support buddy.
cant thank you enough for lending me a helping hand during night hike, especially in the water. without you, i think i would have been 'swept away' and for being a very nice angel. and the words of encouragement you gave me when i was dead scared of leeches. thanks.

chee yip! games coordinator.
your team and the games you came up with were fantastic and games was the one thing i enjoyed the most. finding your umbrella was pretty cool. some say it was dumb luck, coz i wasnt really looking for it, it was just there as Devina and I walked pass the car. LOL continue to jaga your wife. haha

regina. asst. camp commandant.
learnt so much from you, and i will continue to learn more. had so much fun during camp with you. thanks for hearing me out, and for not judging before you heard my part of the story. thanks for always looking out for me and always being there. and i know i can be quite inconsiderate, thanks for putting up with it, with all the patience in the world. =) and whatever was said between us i hope would just be between us. thanks a bunch!

david. buddy waddy.
there are still issues unresolved and i know that we'll talk it through. i guess we really learn to put up with one another, in situations like this. and i just want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to mature and grow as a person in God. your passion for God is awesome and something i really look up to.

keen wai. the-guy-who-broke-joseph's-leg.
kidding. yeah its true. i read joseph's blog and i know you felt really bad about everything, but i also know that you had fun. *first hand account* thanks for putting up with my clumsy-ness during stream-trotting and all my little quirks about the water and leeches. thanks for looking out for me and always emo-ing with me. LOL. had a lot of fun. =)

rachel SOH! randomness #1.
your message on the last night to me was the bomb! and i was still buzzing about it when i got back. got to know you more and it was awesome. still trying to remember my karipuff song. glad you liked it and when one's hungry anything tastes good.

CJ "im so proud of you, alithea!"
will never forget the leech on your leg neither the word of encouragement you gave me. i really like you russel peter's joke. couldnt stop laughing. noticed that you always have a sunday school song during worship and i really like that, brings back memories. working with you was really cool and i know you're 'HOT' .will work with you for easter too. =)

melanie! "i duuno"
sorry i didnt get to reply your note during camp. but thanks. working with you have been a blast and will never forget our sleepovers. had a lot of fun in camp with you though i didnt get to talk to you much.

li sia. missing-in-action.
kena spam from you at night during committee meeting. but anyway, miss you loads and we missed you at camp. hope everything is going on good in your new place, i know it wont be the same because we are all not there. keep burning for God and God bless!!!

antony!!! driver #1
almost forgot about you. thanks so much for driving me around. i promise i'll get around to driving soon enough. had a lot of fun, with games and you as joseph lum was very believable. heard alisson talked to you about trials. she didnt tell me. and im suppose to be her sister. anyway, thanks for everything.

shout out to :
cassandra, xin ying, michelle, ian, eric, mark, javan, pj, gabe, adam, harry, matt, joanna, devina, andrew, yoong jie, pree, eunice, denise, kah yun and everybody. sorry, its late, cant remember all the names.



for those not mentioned, dont be sad. you're permanently in my brain. LOL

ps. havent gotten pictures yet. wait ar. pre-camp post first.


*end*

just a thought

quote : be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting their own personal battles.

i think the quote says everything. we often only think of ourselves because its so much easier than thinking about others. but a random act of kindness goes a long way and it will always be remembered.

i shall hold on to this, no matter the situation and if it hurts, i know i hurt for the benefit of others.
but having said that, my friend once told me that i should not hurt to benefit just ONE person and hurt others in the process. i think he's right and i know its really not fair to the rest, and eventhough it might hurt telling that person off, i think it'll make me feel so much better and it would in return benefit everyone.

i see myself really growing these past couple of days, as i sit and ponder on the things i've done and the things i've said. i really can be selfish sometimes and dumb. i'm really trying to change and be a better person. as difficult as it might be, and as stubborn i can be, i know that, deep down, i can do it.

oh yeah, almost forgot. my mum agreed with me that i tend not to really show how i feel, and that even though i might care a lot, my actions never really give any real indications. so just to let everyone know, i do care, even if i don't really show it. (you know who you are)

anyway, this post means im back from cf camp and will write about cf camp as soon as i can get some pictures from regina, makes it more interesting.hehe.
