she finally got scolded

cos he believes it's about time for her to come to her senses so she needs to stop reasoning with herself.

there is no reason for her to cry. she just needs to do what she knows is best for her, just live LIFE happy. =)


anyways, what's new and most talked about? it's none other than the 2010 World Cup. yea, amazingly i watched through the whole final match with a few great company over burgers and juices even though i had work the next morning at 8am! (i nearly missed work from oversleeping! lol) so it was down to Netherlands (NED) and Spain. i was rooting for NED cos i just wanted to go against what PAUL, the "psychic octopus" predicted. me no likey the fact that PAUL chose Spain over Germany for the win in the quarter finals match! (even though the prediction was right) still, a traitor!!!! you were bred and apparently a PR in Germany! you even got your name from a German children's poem - Der Tintenfisch Paul Oktopushow! how could you!!?? LOL so, as expected, i did my part in carrying out MISSION: essen Tintenfisch (hint: it's in German), the very next day after Germany's lost to Spain! well, the mission sidetracked a bit, not the main aim but still under one of the sub-missions.

back to the finals match, i nearly had a cardiac arrest! my heart stopped beating for a second or two each time either one of them tried to score a goal. the match was so intense! and even before half time, i was already pissed with that baldy referee. IMO, he was more concerned on giving out yellow cards than actually supervising the game play and his judgements seem kinda bias. i'm not saying the NED players didnt deserve those yellow cards for those who actually did hurt the Spain players unintentionally or not. but some of the "accidents" arent even their fault! i remember seeing a replay of one of those mishaps which clearly showed that the NED player came in contact with the opposition's upper part of the body, like the arm or something. BUT apparently, the Spain "victim" ended up rolling on the field like the rolie polie olies, with a devastating-worse-than-labour-pain expression on his face while his hands gripped tightly onto his, LEG! the heck?! it didnt happened once okay.. most of the yellow cards given to the NED were from those dramatic acts by the Spaniards! so drama.. like very severe sufferers of ADHD! pfftt. the best actors are found on the field. haahaa

but oh well, it was worth the watch. intensified entertainment!

so now that the World Cup is over, work is going to be hectic! now time to catch up on my sleep.

nights peeps.

syndrome X

okay, it's high time i update on the past few crazily busy weeks. (warning, excessive photos ahead! credits to various cameras)

first off would be, Sonia darling's homecoming! i cant believe that it's been a year already since she last came home. it's really scary how time flies, everything still felt like it all happened just yesterday. i guess i just dont want to grow up. the faster time flies, the faster i'd have to mature and face the world as a grown adult. but i'll forever be that little Amy at heart. well that, is the downside of being the youngest child - the need for copious amount of attention, pampering and love. but anyways, homecomings always go with partying!

yea, i have a thing for the rocker-chick pose since it goes very well with my bling ;)

on another night of partying, darling & yours truly.

well of course it aint all about partying, i managed to had a great time catching up and having heart to heart talks with my darling by the beach one fine afternoon over fried calamari and french fries ♥ and also for some shopping at island in boxers!

then of course, the usual coffee sessions for gossips and what not.

.. and the laughter over makan session with the rest of the girls and their other halves (if applicable lol). i just cant help but to put up this photo of ming's new japanese tourist boyfriend! konichiwaaaaa~

apart from the wonderful time spent with the girls, work has been fun and yet boring at times. it can get so boring to the point that finding counter names of certain companies listed in the share market somehow became our favourite pastime. lucky for me, i've got a few partners to do lame things at the office. but generally, i love the people there! they're all so nice and fun. there's never a day at work that i dont laugh =)

work during the last week of June was half spent on helping my head of department, Jess's maid of honour to finish up all those little details of her wedding. from checking the table list to tying ribbons on the game cards. (refer to pic above) one thing that was new to me was the wedding vows printed out for the groom. among the 20 commandments of the wedding vows, these are the few which i like:

• I will remember that I am your husband and that I love you. I will be kind to you. And I shall not let you wash the toilets.
  
• I will appreciate you more and express it more often.


• I will give you 30% of my salaries and bonuses. And I shall bear all your expenses on spa and facial treatments.


• I will apologize more often, even if the hurt was unintentional. I know that since we are different people, it will be impossible not to hurt you at times, I will take responsibility, say, "I am sorry" and not accuse you of being overly sensitive.


• I will not underestimate the power of small gestures, the special smile, the note, the small gift, the loving word. I will always kiss you every morning and every night before going to bed. ♥


• I will make our marriage a priority. I will find some time every day to spend with you alone, for at least a few moments. ♥
  
• I will make every effort to go out with you, when possible, several times a month. I know all relationships need talking and time together. I know that the stronger the marriage, the more stable the family. I will make the effort to have a half yearly oversea trip together.
  
• I will love you with all my heart! ♥
  

it's sweet and funny in a way. touching and yet hurtful, at least for me. so here are some photos of the wedding day for you all to feast your eyes upon.

the morning when the groom came over to "pick-up" his bride, he had to go through some semi-torturous games. and here you have it, the four pretty ladies with the 4 game cards all ready and waiting to be picked.

you could see the eagerness of the groom to see his bride, with the bridal bouquet in one hand and the wedding vows on the other, signed and witnessed. =)

at the garden wedding ♥

i love her gown! it's corset-like on the back and the details are just so beautiful!

the champagne pouring and toast during the dinner.

qian & i, the bubbly & cheerful angels of OSK. lols!

finally a near complete group photo of the penang dealing department.

i shall stop here first before i bore you all with too many pictures.. more updates soon (that is also if i remember what to update on.. lols) AND as always, much much more photos on fb. so stalk me. lol

toodles.

Word of the day : TALK

You can never rationalize with yourself.

An open discussion not only helps you re-evaluate the true nature of an occurance but it also reminds you on which grounds you once stood upon and should continue to stand on..

Thank you =)


P/s: will try to update on work soooon.. Lol

nights peeps!

Artsy Fartsy Party

a thursday night had never been this crazy.

so i attended the Hennessy Artistry Party which was held at QEII. much thanks to joycey for getting us free passes from the Hennessy contest she won. the event is just like any other red carpet thingy, somewhat like the Smirnoff ManU after party i attended in KL last year, all glam-ed with the event backdrop for you to pose for the row of shutterbugs with their big ass cameras, several interactive booths for mixing alcohol, visual lights and sounds, performances by Summer Daniels & DJ Tempo of Speaker Junkies, Joe Flizzow & Sona One, Ad Bangers (Summer Daniels is just smoking hot! i'd say a younger version of fergie) and most importantly, the free flow of Hennessy all night long! though our normal passes only allowed free flow of drinks till 11pm, their supply of Hennessy for the event went dry by 11:30pm! penangnites are alcoholics or what?

A first for QEII, the place was jam packed! lol it was as if the usual weekly crowd of UPR turned up for the event. so many many many familiar faces all seen in one night! the partying was a lil more Kay-elle style i suppose.. with fusion house mix numbers, a somewhat little different experience but the sucky part would be the sudden stop of electric supply by 1-ish. so we left and gossiped over mamak before heading home.


strike a pose babes

joycey and i

stalk me on FB, more photos there. lols

till then,

internship starts tomorrow =/

toodles.

yes, amy's alive!

they say a picture paints a thousand words..

so, nah...

i shall let the photos do the talking. since all these occasions occured at least a month ago which obviously had already been blogged about in my dearies' blogs.. i'm the slow poke. =)

clockwise from top left : New Year's Eve @ ming's, pre-CNY partying @ MOIS, CNY @ ming's, camwhoring @ E&O, Ming's bday @ SoII and Steamboat buffet for January babies @ Xuan Xin.

apart from all those wonderful gatherings, my dull life revolved around my uni. was apparently on "auto-pilot" mode the minute i got back to uni. don't remember much. except for being super busy with assignments, projects, presentations, mid-sem exams and stupid quizes all at one go to the point that i even forgot about dear sooch pooch's birthday.. am so sorry sooch dearie *hugs*

on another note, i'm actually in a dilemma.. deciding on whether or not to continue on getting my Masters.. sigh. will elaborate when i have the time..

till then,

home sweet home =)

to go or not to go?

back to unpack?

OR

stay for New Years' eve?

coffee sesions?

OR

instant Mushroom soup?

archery?

OR

canoeing!?

ber-sunset?

OR

watch the sun sets?

don't be silly amy.

dumb dumb.

okay, i think it's really high time for me to keep this blog up and going alive.. lol
so it's been about two weeks since i got back. pretty much enjoying this holiday compared to the previous sem breaks which seemed too hectic to my liking. i used to hit the malls the very next day each time i come back to penang and fully schedule my week for facial, shopping at gurney, movies, more shopping at queens, hiking, more movies, bowling and etc. the plans just never seem to end, like a starving monkey being let loose in a fruit buffet. (cannot blame me wat.. i do come back from the jungle) but this time, i didnt had the urge to shop the very minute i step foot on the soils of our dear island, instead i was more eager to clean up my store bedroom which i left in a mess when i went to uni. so i cleared out all the junk, rearrange my furniture and stayed home the whole week, working hard like an indon maid. =) IF only i had the money, i'd like to re-furnish my whole room and make it all cozy and more modern looking.. sigh. every furniture in my room's older than i am. (except for my DIY book shelves and study table of course..)

anyways, went canoeing with the girls.. and some guys this morning! it's been some time since i've done any water sports and it was fun.. and tiring. vin and i went on the single canoes cos he knows i prefer it and it's easier to control though i was a bit worried about him (due to his drowning experience) but i'm glad it was alrite. the bunch of us only canoed around the cove, about 30m off shore and not long, ended up splashing water at each other. the brave hunted their hopeless victims while the 'smarter' ones fled for life at the sight of others being tortured. lol so ming, yan, vin and i decided to row to the other side of the cove and found a very nicely decorated and designed spa/resort/chalet building which non of us knew of its existence. funny thing is, we were just floating around and ming really enjoyed resting with her toes in the air while the waves pushes the canoe. right after she commented that it was so nice, both ming and yan's canoe was washed onto the shore. damn hilarious. lol. right before our hours' time's up, vin and i exchanged our single canoes with ming and yan's double. while the girls were having fun, vin decided to capsize both their canoes which caused poor ming and yan with cuts on their feet from the dead corals on the muddy bottom. made the cheeky bugger felt kinda bad and sorry. haha

after a nice quick shower, the starving bunch proceeded with lunch at a nearby chicken rice stall. then only a number of us continued our day with a game of bowling. i'll probably be aching all over after tonight's rest. sooch even suggested on going for a jog tomorrow.. goodness, count me out. i'm too "old" for such vigorous non-stop activities.. i'm afraid my bones will break.. haha.
as soon as we tire ourselves with three games of bowling, we headed off for some desserts! now i've got another spot to look for yummy thirst-quenching, cooling dessert. and it's cheap! it's jelly served with ice shavings, syrup water, a big longan and a slice of lemon. the tinge of lemon with the jelly and the sweet sugary cold syrup water makes such a perfect combination.. simply delicious! it's sold on a van-like-truck by the road side just after the ferry terminal.. but i forgot what it's called.. some hokkien word like "orr chien" or something like that.. haha mind me, my hokkien is terrible.. it was about 3pm and i was already having my third meal of laksa, chee cheong fun, chai koay and the yummilicious dessert. tht sounds badd.. but i enjoyed it! i've attended two dinners in a week and one more to go on the 16th.. i'm definitely going to put on weight.. in places that i dont want.. T_T sigh.

i should be getting my rest now. body's starting to ache already.. =(

nights!

updates?

i know and i admit that i have been very lazy in keeping this blog alive.. but if i dont, it'll probably go emo and not publish my posts when i really feel like blogging, like my previous blog.

so anyway, updates updates updates..

as most of my girls already know, i'm now on my semester break for about a month and a half.. got back 2 weeks ago actually BUT i have to go back to uni tomorrow for like 11 dreadful days... for what u might ask? FOR SOME STUPID COMPULSORY ENGLISH COURSE BECAUSE I GOT A BAND 4 FOR MY MUET EXAM.... =.=" i shall not elaborate further on how i got a total of 219 points though ONE POINT away from the band 5 mark, but was contented cos i didnt want to waste another RM60 to retake the exam since EVERYONE says that having a band 4 mark would definitely SUFFICE for a local university.. call me cheap but i just DONT LIKE sitting for exams.. little did i know that the local uni or more like my uni has changed the system and made the english courses compulsory to serve the purpose of:

1. improving the english language among the local undergraduates
2. just to fulfill our credit hours... wtf


i'm going to be stuck in a class with, no offence but with chinese educated students and malays who can barely speak proper english... it's not like i'm being all proud with my english just because i'm "english ed" but it really irritates me especially those who tend to show off their abilities of conversing in english with the usage of certain 'bombastic' words i never even heard of before when they cant even understand the words that are coming out from my mouth..

i admit i'm not all the good and perfect in the language myself but at least i can speak decent english.. this just reminds me of a salesgirl who was trying to convince me in buying their shoes when i was out shopping at queensbay with sonia darling n mingy dearie.. she said, "this shoe very comfort!" and as i looked at the girls, ming just happily looked at me and say, "it's very comfort!" while tryin to hold back from bursting into laughter.. lol okay.. my bad.. i guess on the 'good' side of it, they actually have guts or sometimes too much guts to speak in a language they aren't familiar with.. well, i guess the same goes to them when i speak in mandarin or hokkien, laughing at my intonation and accents which i didnt even know i had..

so anyways, let's see what did i not blog about aside from all my emo-ing posts..

of course. all the 21st birthday parties i've attended so far, including mine =) though i couldnt attend carmen's, yen's, chuen's n sooch's cos of uni.. grr. anyway, (warning: loads of pics ahead!)

first off, sonia's 21st!
like a replay of sonia's 17th birthday party 4 years ago, BBQ at sonia's house.. this time with the combined celebration of sofia n uncle Vj's birthdays as well..

sofia n her group of friends..
then... and now..
carmen's polaroid!
the nicely decorated tables with coloured candles.. (captured by ming)
food! the lamb was great! everything tasted so GOOD i tell u..
ming n i cam-whoring with the very unique mirror in sonia's dining hall.. while waiting for the rest to come.. lol
with the wonderful creation of the digital camera, no one needs to worry bout wasting photo films anymore.. hence the endless snapping of pictures, leaving mervin n i not being able to eat at peace.. haha
a picture of the juniors getting all very 'excited' after finishing probably a carton of SHANDY.. well, we were once that age on a very similar occasion but i don't remember us competing in drowning ourselves in shandy.. oh well, times have changed i guess..

but MGSians will be MGSians no matter where they are, juniors or seniors, never fail to "make a lot of noise".. we were considerable quiet that night cos our loudspeakers, the miss tans - sookie n pei wen weren't around.. not forgetting jienny anny n nian dearest..
and here we are, looking all high n drunk over, orange juice. haha

the very famous raccoon eyes pose.. and yes, we are childish but we had fun =) i think the juniors took more normal looking photos than we did..

so, we ended the night with a game of 'higher or lower' and all ended up looking half drunk.. haha

guess i'll just blog about the other 21st birthdays another day cos i'm getting lazy for now and since i'd probably have ample of time in uni for the next 11 days =( i might as well blog when i'm there then, that is also IF the stupid wireless connection still works. bah!

toodles.


love u meimei <3
dinner with ur family! =)

finals are just around the corner.. and yet, making myself busy with college projects, movie series, and not forgetting, my most favourite activity on bed.. (wait.. that just didnt sound right..) what i meant was obviously SLEEP. lol

it has been raining cows and elephants these days.. not forgetting having really cool lightnings now and then.. causing the already cacat-ed wireless connection even more hopeless.. the only place where the internet line isn't horrigible, terrigible and vegetable, is at the IT faculty.. so in order to bring myself out of being so super 'ulu', i'd have to drag my lazy ass and wet my feet in rain puddles just to get a decent connection... urgh.

anyways, have been raoming around the northern part of the peninsular.. though nothing beats my lil penang island, at least it's a good way of passing time and wasting money on petrol.. haha..


but, JIENY ANNY!!


guess what i found.. or more like 'who' i found?!
