Zip It Up

I was back at home before the final exam starts. As I have promised to friends, i would make something as a token of friendship.

Then, again, mum was my greatest help! Basically the pencil case was her idea few years back during my sis's fair at her secondary school. They were selling mum's products.

So, tagging mum, from buying the zips to sewing them together...all i spent were my sight and opinion, not really got a hand in it! Mum completed them!


See, the colourful pencil case is out!


It can be opened anywhere...this is its uniqueness!

it's good making something. i have learnt how, next time let me to try it out? anybody wants?
welcome any order!

i wanna be back to those years

I am lazy back at home now...having my real break before final exam.

Having a few flip on my class magazine of secondary school...memory of 2003, flashing back...
It was such a sweet memory. Suddenly i miss my old classmates so much! Shiau Hui, Cynthia, Shze Sieng, Siew Hoon, Hui Sian, Mok, Wei Wei, Fang Ting...All of you! How i wish i could be back to yesteryears! I miss those days!

It is really different of the friendship forged between the secondary school and university. It because of the people around are different or i have changed into a different person?

I must admit i do change. From what way, i cannot tell. Just, more things come into my mind...more complicated.

I really wish i could be back into the innocent and carefree years, me...

The End

The 4 days food fair event is over! Just coming back from closing ceremony...

I don't like protocol, why not everything just being done in a casual and informal way! Then everybody can have fun all time long...Having such a formal dinner, dressed up formally...then, waiting. Waiting for the coming of VVIP, waiting for the standard ceremony procedure, waiting for the setting...

Very ironically, we as the VIP of the dinner, being served. yet in the end of the dinner, after the leaving of the VVIP, we have to clean everything. sweeping floor, cleaning table, re-arranging everything. tomorrow we have to get up early and have a gotong royong in our kitchen and the complex as well.

So, we as the organizers, have done different parts: being the ajk, audience, apprentice, promoter, server, cameraman......really, i think we are pretty good at playing different kinds of roles!

In an event organized, we can know each other more! It was enough to build a friendship, and sufficient to destroy one as well! Fraction occured. unavoidable. i think we must learn how to tackle the problem in a more mature way.

Well, it was over. Become another page my history. i would say it was an experience and it was good to try, always.

ok, i am so sleepy now...zzz...zzz

tomorrow would be a great day!

Food Fair Day 1

i have been lost in contact for more than 30hours, no cellphone, no internet connection...all by myself, alone.

on the early morning of sunday, i finally came out from my isolated cage, strided to the food complex, prepared be to a busy day since it was our food fair starting day!

everybody was enthusiast in setting the floor. would be going to be a good day for us? well, it seemed so!

anyway, the first upm food fair was really a trial, that's what i should say. not many companies joining us, around 10. That's quite far from what we expected. Futhermore, the visitors were not many. there was even a time, when outside was raining cats and dogs, no a single silhoutte of visitor was seen!

i feel quite symphathy for those sponsors. i know they expect much more than this.

yet, from the beginning. i, as one of the committee, admit i didn't commit wholeheartedly. there were too much of chaos, among the board. i would rather stand aside, without putting my hands into any party. i hate politics! futhermore, i think the delegation of job was done in a mess! no motivation, no co-ordination among the committees. so, perhaps it is good to have something we have already had for now. at least something was there!

Then, seeing those foodservice seniors were preparing the exclusive five star meals for the function the day after, i was impressed! they looked organized, committed. they are disciplined in the kitchen, well arranged in setting the dining area. Well, they were simply great, in my witness.

however, do you know how hard they are? for a single event, they have to organize it in such a long procedure! i give them my salute!

witnessing all, the idea of starting business online roots deeper in my heart. i think all of the messy and troublesome works in the workplace can really be lessened by what we call it as 'internet'!

well, i am truly weary. with lots of assignment. i think i lost myself again. no thrill, no passion...

A SOTONG'S STORY

It was supposed to be a good day to me, a memorable nice day for me, since i am satisfied with my French oral test today.

Yet, after the food fair meeting. Disaster struck! Where is my handphone?

I found the lost of it whenever i want to find the key to open my room, the key is attached to my handphone sachet! Taking out all the stuffs from my bag! Turned it upside down...Where is my handphone sachet and the handphone inside?

Stay calm! I told myself. Nobody could i turn to. I went to the office to get the spare key, entered my room. Think. What's next?

I dialed my own number with the public phone. Ring...ring...nobody picked up... A good sign, though. At least nobody turn it off yet. It must be fallen somewhere! Flashed back, where could it be dropped?

Taking the bus to faculty. Checking everywhere i have stepped...BKTM 1, the meeting place. No! Nothing to be found! Nobody! Previna was seen. Told her about the incident. At least, she gave me a suggestion, to check with the bus driver. In case it was dropped in the bus.

Before all of this, i rushed into the computer like a hurricane. Open my msn, telling sis and joanne about this. Asked them to call my number. Hopefully someone with kind hearted could reply their call.

Then, walking to Faculty of Economy, since i was having my lunch there. Sweating, i checked the table and tracked back all along the way. No! Nothing! I asked the stall owner, he just gave me a very sorry expression : it's almost zero possibility to find lost handphone here!

Well, bus drivers. I stopped a bus in half way, not at a bus stop. The bus driver was kind enough to stop the bus. A worried me, asking the passengers to check the seats, any handphone found? The bus was stopped and everyone looked down, searching...Embarrased, i was!

The kind bus driver suggested me to check at the k14 bus stop. I took one bus and one bus...kept searching on it. I took 3 bus tour around the campus.

Well, given up. It was gone! Let it go. I was back at my room. Fatigue.

Hot, can't make myself sleep although my eyes were almost closing...

Go swimming! I didn't want to let myself ponder more on the missing handphone. It would be fine. Couldn't help, i was asleep in the bus along the very short journey to swimming pool. Luckily i didn't miss the stop.

After immersing in the water for about half an hour, i called joanne as i saw her.

Guess what? she told me:

Your handphone is with susan now!!!!!!

Gosh, what a big and stupid SOTONG am i!!!!! i must be left it at the faculty!

Confession: A big sotong is really sorry about it's carelessness. Very very sorry to all of u!

REALLY SORRY!

NOTHING

What i want to do now?

The answer is simple: NOTHING!

My definition of NOTHING can be very flexible. Grab a book, sit back and relax, flip a page, take a sip of green tea...the soothing songs is whirling in the air...enjoying the chilling air...

Despite of tonnes of assignment, my tempting friend - Procrastination, again, date me out. My dear P is just like the devil, drag me out of the messy troublesome reality...together, we have a lovely night in the fantasy...

Well, it's me. Living in the fantasy, alone (except u call my dear P as an accompaniment)...

Just leave me here. Forgotten.
