i went for a drifting competition last Sat at Bukit Jalil. yummy yummy...reached there just in time for the finals. wow! you have no idea how much i wished i could do all that...so exhilirating!! i took some pics...

it was pretty tough getting a good pic when everything was moving so fast so the above photo was the only passable one.

at such high speeds, accidents do happen...

a car that's built for speed under extreme conditions ain't comfy looking


i got a haircut yesterday. heehee! it looked soo cute!! i got a lil fringe and all...though of course i emphasize on the past tense coz after i washed my hair just now, it doesn't look anything like before...i'm sooo annoyed!!! stupid hair......*grumble grumble*

i had the weirdest thing for dinner last night. porridge steamboat. bizzare i tell you!! but it tasted fantastic!!! my goodness...soo yummy...

i've been shopping quite a bit too lately...soo happy with my purchases! Mega Sales period rocks...i just need another pair of jeans, this pair of heels i saw at Tangs Studio, and some Koi earings & necklaces. Koi's necklaces are getting ALOT nicer this season. maybe Korean fashion's evolving from earings to necklaces...i dunno...btw, my birthday's pretty soon so, "HINT!". Koi's in Ikano....and any form of cash will be accepted with open palms

anyway, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!! be safe ya...handle fireworks with care.

this is what happens when you leave 2 incredibly useless individuals who have just sat through a jam alone in a car with nothing more than fm radio.

oh well...when you're bored, you're bored...and stupid...
so would anyone like to add to the list?

i'm just about ready to pass out now...

i don't know if it's the fatigue or the lazy bones or the pain in my neck (literally)...i'm seriously about to collapse. i'm waiting for my 2pm class to start but i feel like going home...can't skip this class though coz i skipped it on monday. the art of skipping class? spread it out evenly. if you do the math right, you'll be able to skip one class a week every week till the end of the semester. now if only i applied such brilliance to my studies...

i'm rambling...i just need something to do if not i'll really pass out...can't let that happen...nonono...need to go to my 2pm class...*argh......*

this whole week's been a mess. so many deadlines...haven't been sleeping right for the past few days. last night was a complete utter MESS. had to stay up till 430 doin this stupid Maybelline ad for my Advertising class presentation. supposed to be a group thing but i have no idea how i ended up doin everything on my own. 5 ppl's job on one set of aching shoulders. miscommunication maybe? my being too bossy maybe? me wanting things my own way maybe? lazy ppl maybe? whatever it is, bottom line, I'M PISSED! and way too wired up on coffee...but i think the presentation went well. and i'm proud of myself. i could handle the pressure and i carried out the entire presentation on my own...*pat shoulder, pat head*

*deep sigh* i need a massage...my pinched nerve thing ain't feeling too good...think i'm gonna collapse now...nonono...gotta make it to my 2pm class...

my week's been full of boring movies. in the past 3 days i've viewed 3 horrendously dull movies; Citizen Kane, Murder My Sweet, and Touch of Evil. i'm sorry if i might offend anyone but dude...Film Noir is way dull. 2 hours of gray, and mumbled, garbled speech is enough to put me to sleep for good...what more write in depth journals on it...*yawn* nonono...don't yawn...can't afford to get cosy now...just another few more minutes...you can 2 it! aza aza fighting! haha...haven't said that in a long time...

fatigue does weird things to ppl...my eyes are so incredibly heavy but the caffeine pumping through my bloodstream is causing me to be slightly hyper right now...can't be good since i'm in the Computer Lab alone...ppl might start to stare...*nervous eyes dart around the room* "STOP STARING AT ME!!!!"

now is the time for revelations. now is the time for the old to cease and the new to take its place. now is the time to stop studying.

since i entered Uni, i've written quite a handful of essays and research papers and puh-lenty of presentations. that would mean that i've done quite a fair bit of reading and sourcing for information. here's a bit of a shocker. there's no longer a use for college libraries or alumni research papers because noone uses them anymore *gasps*. every single time i needed more information, i've always Googled it. so why the heck are we still studying?? i learnt how to use Google way before i started Uni so if the whole purpose of my paying these private institutions an obscenely large sum of money is for them to help me brush up on my Googling skills, i can do it on my own la...

i'm not picking on Sedaya issues k...i'm just saying that Google has everything. from academic material to entertainment to world issues to Barney, and the Pussycat Dolls...there's no longer a need to pay for higher education. just log on to the school of Google.

anyway, i've been tagged!! wahoe!

The rules/procedures are as follows:The first player of this game starts with the topic "five weird habits of yourself," and people who get tagged need to write an entry about their five weird habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next five people to be tagged and link to their web journals. Don't forget to leave a comment in their blog or journal that says "You are tagged" (assuming they take comments) and tell them to read yours.

5. i think i tend to stare...unintentionally of course but i suppose it makes ppl feel uncomfortable

4. i've got a slight fetish with teeth brushing. i feel really gross eating without brushing my teeth 1st

3. i've got a wandering mind so sometimes when someone's talking to me, i might start to drift

2. i pick up after other ppl's messes but my own room's a complete mess

1. i'm always paranoid that my fly's undone so i check it alot

And I tag: (wow...this is tough..)
1. ally k
2. gareth
3. sara k
4. jen jen
5. kurt

the Pussycat Dolls are hot stuff. they've got multiple chart toppers, collaborations with many big names in the music industry, their music videos are HOT!, and of course, they're frikin hot themselves. or at least that's what i thought...i downloaded some of their music videos to get a closer look (blady censorship board censors half of every frikin music video ever aired in this country so why bother watching MTV on Malaysian TV anymore...) and guess what? all their videos are dark, there aren't any close-ups except for the lead singer (who isn't very pretty herself), and most of the time they're moving too fast to get a good look at their face.

i wasn't satisfied...i Googled them and the 1st pic i clicked on at Google Images was this one...

aiyoyo...no wonder la...you can spot a hot-bod from miles away but faces don't show themselves true till much much nearer. how anyone can possibly say their hot is beyond me...they look like transvestites for goodness sake!! okla...maybe it's a bad picture but what kind of professional photographer can possibly take that bad a shot?? and still have the muka tembokness to reveal it to the public? if he really is that bad, i hope he got fired and if it's not his fault, that they really do look like that then "girls, i suggest low lighting. try staying under warm yellow lights...avoid awards ceremonies!"

my parents entrusted me with a set of house keys ever since i was 15. parents being parents, they always nagged me to look after my keys and educated me on how 'fatal' it can be if i were to lose them. i'm very proud to say that i've never lost them, not once. i use my keys every single day and the few times that my parents use them, they just hafta lose it for me la. i tell you, it cheeses the pants off me!!!! how the hell do you lose a set of keys after you've entered the house???!!!

you know, it's not the keys that matter to me, it's the keychain..keys can be duplicated but keychains can't. sigh....it meant so much to me....i'm soooo annoyed with my parents right now...

you know, i've always kept a mental list of criterias for my future husband to fulfil. i'm sure all of us have at least an idea of what our perfect partner would be like. mine has always been along the lines of; smart, independent, sweet, lets me win once in awhile, taller than me, loves me unconditionally, and all that Blues...

but then, it got me thinking...i can search a thousand deserts and still, at the end of the day, not be satisfied. all these qualities may be nice to fall back on, it may even make me look good in front of nosy relatives and friends but is all this really what i need?

of late, i've been doing lotsa soul searching, trying to find a deeper meaning to feelings, thoughts and actions past. yea...i've been shrinking myself, and the whole world...weird but true.....it's the quiet people that you should beware of, it's the quiet people that are really bordering on insanity...just like the geniuses...

so anyway, what is it that we really need from our relationships? money? status? power? a sweet, caring guy? an animal lover? korean? i realised that 'wanting' and 'needing' are on such opposite ends that it shouldn't ever be used in the same sentence. i can live without wealth and power...i can tolerate a self-made man's ego...i can forgo winning fights all the time...but how do you know what you think you need is really what you need?

it's weird where i actually got the inspiration to write this. i still don't know what i need from my guy but i know what i don't need and what i really can't tolerate. *stands up and whacks pillow on bed* i absolutely can't stand sweet talkers!! isn't it a whole lot easier to say a simple "you mean a lot to me" rather than repeat an obviously well rehearsed, overused "your presence in my life has changed me to be the best i could ever be. you mean the world, sun, and Pluto to me. i'll jump off cliffs and swim reptile infested lakes just to be with you." sheesh...this world really is based on opposites coz i believe that when someone has to go through so much trouble and dramatisation to express how he feels about you, he really doesn't feel that way at all. he's just trying to convince you and himself, under the pretense of impressing you.

i'll settle for a nervous, possibly slightly stammering "i like you" any day...

WAHOE!! i'm writing this entry on my brand new notebook *grin the BIG BIG kind*. my early birthday present from my daddy. it's sooo pretty!! a metalic blue Acer. yummy yummy. now i can blog without having to wait for my PC hoggin' bro to get off at 2am. *sigh* i can have my own wallpaper =) i can have the whole C drive to myself...i can sit in the comforts of my air-conditioned room and watch all my d/led movies...i've got a DVD drive!! I'm sooooo happy!!! but then....guess i won't be getting my shopping spree..........

a very good friend of mine held a dinner get-together last saturday to celebrate his birthday. he invited 12 of his closest friends which, at 1st, i thought was kinda weird coz we all didn't know each other very well, but it turned out to be quite fun. he did all the cooking and i tell u, FANTASTIQUE! he made roast beef, leg of lamb, spaghetti, coleslaw, baked potatoes...yummy yummy yummy. everything tasted great! i ate so much.......sigh.....i had a wonderful time, dear =) though i didn't really get to talk to u...i will catch up with u soon k? *huggies*

today i visited Naza for the 1st time. OMG!!!! CAR ZOO!!!!! it was sooooo much fun *grin*...they had the 700k Toyota on display, a 1.5 mil Lamb Chop, a Maserati, Bentleys, a gabillion Mercs and beemers, Harriers, STIs...sigh....take-my-breath-away sigh...i'm gonna work my ass off to own some of those cars...or maybe just work in Naza...tralala *prances off in a daze*

so, i've just started thinking bout my 2005, bout the things i did or accomplished...weird that i'm about 13 days late but i suppose ever since i was child even, i've been doing things at my own pace so...here's my 2005 in a thimble.

1. i learnt how to 'really' drive and developed a passion for it
2. i survived a year of law school
3. i learnt how to go for what i want
4. i learnt also that waiting is a good thing
5. i discovered friendships i never knew could exist anymore
6. i now understand the meaning of responsibility and how i don't really want it
7. i met Jay Chou
8. i discovered the brilliance that is torrent files
9. i gave my room a total makeover (with alot of help from my mom)
10. "u'll never know until u ask"
11. i discovered alcohol
12. i started blogging
13. i started singing in YE
14. i had my 1st proper manicure (with a really good friend)
15. i've got a passion for fashion
16. i'm in debt
17. i went on road trips with friends
18. i learnt the art of camwhoring
19. i had rabbits (and then later discovered that my skin's too sensitive to rear rabbits)
20. i learnt that family should and will always come 1st

quite a lot happened for a year that seemed a whole lot shorter than it really was. weird how it still doesn't feel like a new year to me. nothing's changed since last year...except now i write 06 instead of 05...and 21 instead of 20...i feel a lot older though...early midlife crisis i shuppose...oh well. *shakes it off*

word of the day : it's never too late to be old

do i look friendly to u? do i have a face that says "come talk to me! i may appear as if i'm talking to my friends but really, i'm just waiting for u to come over so we can have a deep conversation bout your past." do i look as if i have the answer to everything? do u honestly think my life revolves around your constant complaints & life problems which, i really think u can solve on your own?

i face problems too, i have a million complaints about close to everything but do u see me going around harrassing my friends to go out with me?? do i call my friends up every other day to overdramatise my oh-so-harrowing love life (or lack of it) and then accuse them of being a jerk if they ever dare to not answer my calls or reply my msges??

where in the world do i possibly come off looking like i've got a fat sign stuck on my face saying "YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND"??

if i really am your best friend, u would know that i enjoy my solitude.

word of the day : LEAVE ME ALONE!

classes have officially started for me and get this, i'm excited (???). weird innit? i guess after spending so much time doing nothing, going around doing something is a WHOLE LOT better. my redundancy days have come to an end *standing ovation*. i'm taking 5 subs this sem, 4 year 1 subs & 1 year 2 sub. sedaya changed around the sylabus a bit for mass comm so my subject choices can be more geared toward my major.

i'm still working out transport issues with my family but i guess at the mo, i don't hafta worry bout being shipped off to live in some barren land for the next few yrs.

my timetable rocks! i finish everyday at 330 and i have fridays off. WOOHOO!! i guess for the moment it's ok la...i'm expecting extra classes soon so for the moment, WOOHOO!!

so my birthday's in a month...i thought it'll be a good idea for me to create a wish list. after hours of pondering, i've now got my list...but it's really really short.

Ai Leen's 2006 Birthday Wish List
1. shopping spree

yea that's it...i'd also like to have a car but...wishful thinking huh...

word of the day : needy want

OMG!!! i could kill sedaya right now. what the hell is wrong with their pcs??
anyway....i just found out yesterday that my classes start today. i'm a gd student really...i came an hr early, but then again, i don't have my timetable ( i could kill sedaya!!!) coz those incompetent ppl didn't update my page. whatever la...i can't remember what subjects i chose anyway so i guess i'll just pick new ones...and i think i lost my student ID too...sigh...

sorry i haven't been blogging for almost a month. been really busy and tired out. december has been one helluva hectic month. work, shopping, movies, shopping, yam chas, shopping, christmas practices, shopping...hehe! so i thought working would've helped me out with my financial issues but instead, i think it got me more stuck in this horrible moneyless web i spun for myself...but at least i'm stuck with lotsa pretty things.

christmas was great! the presentation went really really well! the kids were sooo cute...great job Ivan! the fake trumpet blowing was pretty damn convincing.
a great BIG thanks to everyone for all the presents and wishes and prayers and hugs =) i got so many pairs of earings this time round! hehe...looks like i've gotta find a more space efficient way to organize my abundance of earings. or, donate to charity and bring in the new stuff...maybe...maybe...

youth camp was a BLAST!! 4D3N camp at Fraser's Hill...same place we went to in 2003. cold places, i like *silly grin*. i roomed with ally, betty, & esther wong. THANKS betty for letting me sleep on the soft bed...and thanks esther for giving me & betty terrible sneezing fits and a cough. seriously woman, next time, u're getting a whole room to yourself so u can shake the living daylights out of as many damn dirty brown dust blankets as u want.

things u learn at camp:
1. it's customary to bring junk food. ( never knew this since i always roomed with weight watchers and early sleepers)

2. ALWAYS bring a towel.
(i can already hear your laughter dear coz, yes, i forgot to bring my towel yet again.)

3. pillows are always a good idea.
no matter how little-to-no space u have left in ur bag, bring one anyway. carry on if u must coz those insanely uncomfy bus rides are well, insanely uncomfortable and insanely long.

4. i'm actually pretty good at foosball
goyang goyang...relax, goyang oni....(think clean)

so yep...camp was great. i believe every single camper had a personal encounter with God...we learnt not to rely so heavily on feelings coz feelings can easily be manipulated. we need to stand on something more solid...this is not just spiritually speaking but in relation to real life too...

new year's eve was fun...nothing turned out as planned...somehow laziness does that to plans. it was amusing to see ppl 'out of their element'...we went to bangsar for dinner and stayed in bangsar for the rest of the night. i really really wanted to see fireworks...i saw like 2 tiny bursts...anyway, erin has all the pics on her site and i'm in coll so...

word of the day : it's not a parking lot, it's a piece of shit!
