anyways, here's one out of the many which is really nice :)

***

The best friend man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son, or daughter, that he has reared with loving care, may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and good name may become traitors to their faith. The money a man has he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our head.

The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground when the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only to be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounters with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince.

When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wing, and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens.

If fortune drives his master forth, an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard him against danger, to fight against his enemies. And when that last scene of all comes, and death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there, by the graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true, even in death.

Senator George Graham Vest, speaking to a jury about Old Drum, shot in 1869

Never ever EVER give up!

been having class EVERYDAY. except tuesday.

Sigh, saddening isn't it. ><

Have always wondered...

Why have i chose this road?

Will i successfully hold on till the end?

This is two VERY different things from what i wanted to study at first.

seeing my friends getting to study what they want

really make me envious.

It's so tiring to stop myself from thinking all these

as it makes me want to give up.

the 'giving up' feeling really don't feel good.

so, i've gotta keep telling myself to...

...i CAN do it! YOU can too! *winks*

Having class almost EVERYDAY

made me appreciate the times i get to spend alone even more,

i just don't feel like going out anymore,

though sometimes i wanna shop, watch movie, and socialize,

i want

but i just don't feel like it.

=="

yah, i know, it's just complicated.

i don't understand myself either. so don't ask. :P

anyways.

i've just noticed that this is only my third post of the year.

pathetic ><

heh.

whoops. :P

i guess i'll have more time to blog now since my facebook a/c and email has already been hacked.

just remembered this book that I borrowed from my former chinese teacher.

there are some parts where i would like to share :)

在社会上的生活，我们努力与每个喜欢或不喜欢的人维持良好的人际关系，
也因此我们学会了如何[适可而止的爱]。
为了让自己不受伤害，
即使内心在淌血，仍可在人前笑容可掬，
是心情荡到谷底，仍可耐住性子，只为与人维持良好的互动。

我后悔自己选择了这样的生活模式，
甚至对自己的人格产生怀疑。
我反反覆覆地思考我的后悔和怀疑，直到有一天，我发现，
心情不太好的时候，我仍然可以何人谈笑风生，
自尊心受伤的时候，我仍然可以和周围的人打成一片，当作什么事也没发生过。
比起当场和别人撕破脸，我认为现在这种贴近现实的生活说不定更好呢！

***

当我们受到刺激时，并不是因为害怕而受到刺激，
而是因为受到刺激后才感到害怕。

当我们伤心难过时，并不是因为难过而流泪，
而是流下了眼泪才感到难过。

我们并不是因为生气儿满脸通红，
而是因为满脸通红才感到气愤。

想成为一个幸福的人吗？
试试看，
即使心里没什么值得高兴或欢喜的事，
也放声笑出来吧！
很多人不知道，
幸福的人
不是因为幸福才有笑容，
而是时时面带着笑容才成为一个幸福的人。

yah, okay, i know, it's chinese :P

yes, i do read chinese books :)

(only those with lots of pictures and little words XD)

hey, but i successfully read finish this uber thick book with small words and no pictures okay. :P

hahaha..

*clap* *clap*

okay.

all the best to my classmates.

back to my books. :'(

please motivate me :)

hehe.

-the end-

Bad Day.

Yea.

had a really bad day yesterday.

First it was me having to take the taxi home from the station

just because my dad has mahjong to play and my bro has his games to play.

both of which are obviously more important than me

so, i took the taxi home, sitting in a taxi whose picture in the taxi is different from the guy driving, it was kinda obvious it wasn't him, coz he was an old chinese guy, whereas the picture showed a young malay guy by the name of Abdullah......

anyways. i went home, called my bro, took him some time to answer, asked him to open the gate.

it was raining quite heavily that time, but no choice have to,

wait.... wait.... wait....

the best part was, auto gate can't function coz the electricity tripped.

finally he came, but i was already soaking wet but my notes weren't

coz i was protecting it =="

(normal ppl would just use the file to protect themselves, but no, i was protecting it)

okay nevermind,

just when you thought everything is over

this NEVER talk to me friend on facebook asked to vote for her in some site.

so i was like.. okay.........fine...i'll be kind.

then she started rushing me and all...

so i clicked it... (so dumb!)

and there goes my facebook a/c.

yup! it's GONE!

so goes my Hotmail account..

i can't log in to both, though everything in my fb a/c still looks normal from my brother's a/c point of view :P

So since i was so emo-fied.

i watched Hachiko!

made me even more emo.

super nice show :)

MUST WATCH :P

and...

Desserts Spelled Backwards

Desserts???

I don't think so. ><

it's the other way around

"Stressed"

Tho' i may not look like that lah! :P

haha.

Yup! just DAY and NIGHT! :D

Before class and after class.

Sigh.

hahaha.

Lemon

Lemon

haha, thanks to jon for reminding me about lemons.

i just noticed that i haven't had pure lemon juice for a very long time (1 or 2 mths)

><

no wonder my nose was so watery for the last 2 weeks

after not having flu for almost 2 years!

yah, believe it or not, i haven't gotten flu for 2 years=)

well, the only reason why i just stop drinking lemon is not because i don't like it,

in fact, i LOVE it =)

i can drink and eat it like orange juice

without feeling the sour-ness ppl usually feel =D

i can take it empty stomach without having gastric or whatsoever after that.

owh, and i don't like my lemon juice to be diluted,

hence, always drink it concentrated! =)

anyways,

i stopped because juicing it was super tiring.

squeezing the juice out is really tiring.

i think, the next thing i'm going to plan to buy is a citrus juicer.

and it has to be Glass.

haha..

this is because i had a bad experience using a plastic 'thing' to juice my lemons.

the plastic actually changed colour and you can see the glue coming out!

@@

gosh!

since being reminded about lemon,

i drank 7 lemons in 3 days.

2 on Sunday, 3 yesterday and 2 today =)

haha,

and i'm craving for more!!!

if only someone can help me juice it =P

haha,

lemon is not just all about being sour,

there are so many health benefits of lemon water!

maybe after telling some,

you guys would like to drink lemon like me too! =D

Good for stomach

Lemon can help relieve many digestion problems when mixed with hot water. These include nausea, heartburn and parasites. Due to the digestive qualities of lemon juice, symptoms of indigestion such as heartburn, bloating and belching are relieved. By drinking lemon juice regularly, the bowels are aided in eliminating waste more efficiently. Lemon acts as a blood purifier and as a cleansing agent. The intake of lemon juice can cure constipation. It is even known to help relieve hiccups when consumed as a juice. Lemon juice acts as a liver tonic and helps you digest your food by helping your liver produce more bile. It decreases the amount of phlegm produced by your body. It is also thought to help dissolve gallstones.

Excellent for Skin Care

Lemon, being a natural antiseptic medicine, can participate to cure problems related to skin. Lemon is a vitamin C rich citrus fruit that enhances your beauty, by rejuvenating skin from within and thus bringing a glow on your face. Daily consumption of lemon water can make a huge difference in the appearance of your skin. It acts as an anti-aging remedy and can remove wrinkles and blackheads. Lemon water if applied on the areas of burns can fade the scars. As lemon is a cooling agent, it reduces the burning sensation on the skin. (also reduces and prevents acne! =))

Aids in Dental Care

Lemon water is used in dental care also. If fresh lemon juice is applied on the areas of toothache, it can assist in getting rid of the pain. The massages of lemon juice on gums can stop gum bleeding. It gives relief from bad smell and other problems related to gums.

Cures Throat Infections

Lemon is an excellent fruit that aids in fighting problems related to throat infections, sore throat and tonsillitis as it has an antibacterial property. For sore throat, dilute one-half lemon juice with one-half water and gargle frequently.

Good for Weight Loss

One of the major health benefits of drinking lemon water is that it paves way for losing weight faster, thus acting as a great weight loss remedy. If a person takes lemon juice mixed with lukewarm water and honey, it can reduce the body weight as well.

Lemon water works wonders for people having heart problem, owing to its high potassium content. It controls high blood pressure, dizziness, nausea as well as provides relaxation to mind and body. It also reduces mental stress and depression.

Assist in curing Respiratory Disorders

Lemon water assists in curing respiratory problems, along with breathing problems and revives a person suffering from asthma.

Lemon is also a diuretic and hence lemon water can treat rheumatism and arthritis. It helps to flush out bacteria and toxins out of the body.

Reduces Fever

Lemon water can treat a person who is suffering from cold, flu or fever. It helps to break fever by increasing perspiration.

Acts as a blood purifier

The diseases like cholera or malaria can be treated with lemon water as it can act as a blood purifier.

Acts as "waken-er"

hahahaha..added by me.

to keep you awake when you are studying :P

so, considering to drink lemon too?

owh, remember to consume your drink within 15 minutes,

vitamin C can be oxidized really easily.

and and, choose lemons which are bright in colour =D

keke..

okay lah..

back to my books.

exams started yesterday,

but mine is tomorrow.

All the BEST to everyone!

Exammmssss....

Oh no!

finals is just SIX days away o.O

shucks!

Prepared? err...nope...

So, what am i doing here? blogging to get away from my books for a while..

hehe..

alright,

i have nothing much to blog really.

but i just noticed that my table is usually so filled up when i'm studying.

let's see why,

1. my rulers,

haha, yeap! i have four rulers.

one for the yellow highlighter,

one for the orange highlighter,

and two for my pens/pencils =D

haha..

okay, this is just so that my highlighter's head do not get contaminated. =)

and two rulers for my pens and pencils is so that i can save time looking for the ruler and JUST in Case. =P

2. my pens,

hehe. These are about the minimum amount of pens i need to have when studying =P

from left to right: Pentel correction pen, 0.4 Pilot red G-tech, 0.5 Pilot red G1, 0.5 Pilot red ball pen, 0.3 Pilot black G-tech, 0.5 Pilot black G1, 0.3 Pilot blue G-tech, 0.5 Pilot blue G-tech, 0.5 Pilot blue G1, 0.7 Pilot light blue G2, Stabilo orange and yellow highligher, my "machine-washed"/shrinked Pilot 0.5 mechanical pencil and lastly my Pentel soft eraser.

hehe..

i don't really like my notes being over colourful, so blue black and red pens are enough,

that's why i have different pens with different thickness. =D

(i still have a lot more in my pencil case, but, i don't really use em..hehe..)

Yes, i am reallyyyy particular about the pens i use and would stick to them like glue until a better one is introduced =P

3. Stick notes,

Just got it recently coz i like Amanda's idea of

doing sticking chapter by chapter,

so flipping through my thick thick thick textbooks won't be that difficult.

(saves time too =))

4. my Calculator,

i don't use it for simple calculation because i believe it's a waste of time but,

ACCA questions just have a lot of these super large numbers. so i'm kinda like force to use.

and also lesser mistakes. :P

(btw, the sticker jon gave me is still on it)

5. my Lappy!!!

haha..yea.

my lappy helps me out a lot..

esp the dictionary function =))

but..hee...yeah, Facebook. urgh!

haha. however, de-stressing is important so...

it's good to take a rest after studying :P

6. Wonka Nerds.

yeap! to make me Nerdier...XD

make me study more :P

but i just finished my 3rd packet of Nerds.

><

7. Formula Sour

to WAKE me up when i'm sleepy... :P

i got this from US. just for fun. coz i'm a fan of sour taste!

it's kinda sour, but it leaves a very unpleasant after-taste,

so i've kinda like abandoned it.

8. My Cup

'Good Luck'

to everyone sitting for their finals =P

(never filled more than twice a day)

and there's still more other than those mentioned above,

i guess, now i know why my table is always overflowing :P

***

last topic before I end and get back to my books.

Nandos

my fAvOurITe fast food =)

coz i LOVE their garlic peri-peri sauce!

(if you call it fast food lah :P)

but,

it's getting more and more disappointing every time i eat.

everything else is okay,

just that,

this is what you usually get nowadays when you order Nandos

Burnt chicken.

(cancerous due to the carbons, and it's not only the skin, but also part of the meat, so if you were to take away all those black burnt part, you will be left with only......super little meat.)

and so much for that "...nothing is more important than keeping your promise....promise to give you excellent quality and ......."

(yes, they did keep their promise in flavour, but not the quality)

so, this was what i get when i order Nandos delivery,

because this is not just once, it's almost every time,

so, i called up customer service and got them to change my chicken.

and so they did.

the best part was the conversation between the delivery boy and me.

me: returns the burnt chicken

DB: opens the box, "owh, so you don't like the burnt parts?"

me: (==") "err, yeah"

DB: pass me the box with the new two pieces of chicken.

me: "much better, thanks =)"

DB: "err, next time when you order you tell them that you don't want your chicken to be well done"

me: (o.O) "err, okay"

=="

so he actually wants me to order a chicken which is not cooked well done?!

medium?! rare??

errr....=="

haha..

okay.nvm.

back to my books :P

the end.
