January : I finally realize my longest fling ever ended. What a way to start the new years. I knew from then on that this year wouldn’t be a good year for me when it comes to relationships. As always, I coped up fast. Recovered in less than a week and moved on. Life wasn’t all that beautiful at first but by the end of the month, I got myself a new target and things went on so smoothly. Mr. Yap, as my friends nicknamed him, (or Mr. Transformers), was someone I had a major crush on back when I was in high school. It was my first time meeting him but we didn’t speak at all. He was almost my dream guy (he’s shorter than me by 2cm and that kinda puts me off… usually!). We flirted heavily (we met back online by coincidence and I think it was through Friendster) and he was asking me out almost every night. I have never managed to capture the attention of my “dream” guy before and it was my very first time. I have never been nervous talking to a guy since form four when I met this almost perfect guy too lah but I don’t want to talk about it. I blushed so profusely whenever he calls and I just couldn’t get words out of my mouth. Imagine meeting him!

February : The flirting with Transformers continued but the sparks started dying. I met him on and off always by coincidence. My friends said we were fated to “bump” into one another lah it seems. Chinese New Year were the usuals. I remembered Jimmy stood me up because of some accident back in Malacca and it got me damn worried cause I couldn’t get through him at all the whole night and the next morning. I started playing pool with the pool gang which originally consisted of Terence, Ivan, Ian, Bernard, Yeeng, Daniel, Garick, Wern Ching and a few more on and offs lah. Mr. Yap asked me out on Valentines but I organized a group date instead and I think he was lepak-ing at Bar Savanh. He was a major flirt (not forgetting me too). He was the kind of guy that was nice to look at, nice to play with but not the type you would want as a bf. The Vday Group Date was hilarious. Spent with Berd, Terence, Jeng Yean, Daniel, Yeeng and then later joined in by Wern Ching, Yi Ven, Wai Kong and gang, Jolyne and Wei Lik, I-Wern and a few others. It was the best vday date ever because sparks were just flying all over.

March : Sparks with Transformers completely died. We just spoke online. No more fancy flirtatious phone calls, sms-es… and dates. I didn’t feel anything at all. Pool gang was getting bigger and bigger and pool was so in for us. Every Friday night, we will be in either Club 7 or Rack club. We also did pool four times a week once. I then met the guy who changed my life so tremendously, Joe 7th. We first met face to face (although we knew each other since October 2003, according to him, online) when I was rushing for my assignments and he became my hero by dropping by my house after midnight just to pass me some magazines for my assignments. After that, we started going out, all shy and blushing and legs crossed tight. I didn’t dare go out with him alone at first and I was always dragging out the pool gang along. It was then movie night for us every Wednesday and sometimes Saturday. He would then send me up to 30 sms-es and etc. It was freaky at first but I kinda liked it. I started driving officially and Wern Ching went back to Melbourne.

April : The usuals dragged on. Pool pool pool and more pool. Then movie, movie, movie. I was starting to get closer to Joe 7th and Yeeng had her second bf. Nothing much except I was close to the pool gang and Dylan came back.

May : Alfie came from Singapore with his friend on Joe 7th’s birthday. Nothing much. More pool, movie and food. Chili’s started becoming our weekly must-have.

June : Started internship at Euro RSCG. Sparks were flying between me and Joe 7th and he indirectly confessed his feelings for me. So did three other guys. I was like “WOW!”. Nothing happened except I started putting on kg after kg till I reached 12kg heavier.

July : I unofficially started a relationship with the man whom had such great impact on me. Things were beautiful. Everything was all flowery, perfect and sweet. I had everything. A great loving what-you-would-call-a-bf, amazing friends, great grades and etc. Celebrated my birthday at Duta Vista Condominium Hotel where my dad rented 3 days for me and it was an amazing bbe-early birthday celebration.

August: Things were starting to slow down. Friendship, relationship and my internship was starting to get less interesting by the day. My actual birthday was spent at Chili’s, where else! Me and my beloved then talked things and boy, I really thought he was the one. It was my first time being serious over someone. I thought he was my everything. The other half that completes me.

September : I was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome and went to SJMC for check ups and the usual crap. I was sick for almost a month since end of August. Jolyne left for London. My what-I-thought-was-love-of-my-life changed company and was really stressed up. He started becoming moody and unreasonably hard to understand. I lost what I thought was the one. It seems he didn’t love me enough. At least, not enough to compete with someone from his past. Never will, it seems. I felt cheated. I was so devastated because I was for once so serious, so into a relationship. I started losing weight tremendously. My fish gave birth to about 30 lil baby fishies.

October : Things started getting harder for me. I missed him too much and I was still crushed. We met once in a while but nothing changed. Life was hell. Had Halloween parties and was barely home. And I began to start learning the art of drinking.

November : Started getting busy with my final semester assignments. Got closer to my classmates. Busiest month of the year. My what-I-thought-was-love-of-my-life started telling me things I wanted to hear but still, he said, we will not get back together because the timing was not right. Then because of some controversial entry, he decided to end all ties with me but we managed to sort it out soon after. We’re back as friends. It is almost impossible to get over him and move on like all my other ex-es and flings and it really amazes me. Went Penang with classmates. And met back with Mr. “Zzt Zzt Eyes” online.

December : HAH! He confessed that he is not over his ex yet and will never be. Well, at least, not yet. A lot of dramas happened to me. I felt loneliest this month and most depressed. Then Bernard finished his internship in Kulim and we’ve been doing mamak for seven days straight! I think now we ought to change our name from “Pool Gang” to the “Mamak Gang”. I am recovering and finally moving on *insert cheers here please*. This month seems to be a lot of “FFK”-ing going around. Hope that Christmas and New Year 2005 will be fun. Hoping that 2005 will bring me more luck in relationship, career and financially. Less backstabbing too, please. I am so tired of all these backstabbing crap, seriously. Grow up, man!

2004. Another year has passed in a blink on an eye. It was a fantastic year though, although I can’t really remember exact details of the year. Lol. But yeah,.. it was a normal year filled with the usual fun, problems, sadness , laughter and whatever else. Loads of friendship were made, some ruined and lots grew stronger.

Basically, what I will remember of 2004 is:
v Langkawi - Had the joy of going on holiday with my 3 best friends to Langkawi and it was indeed a really great holiday away from our folks and the busy life of KL and Penang and just chill and relax with loads of booze and cigs.
v Phuket ROCKED!! Becky, when wanna go?!
v Getting my car which is great cause I don’t have to walk to campus. Nyek nyek.
v My first friend/classmate/school mate for ages got married in July and we had an absolute blast at her wedding. And she has just given birth to a baby girl. It was a whole nice day cause its like our very first friend of the same age whom got married and yeah , I guess it was a very special day not only for her but for all of us,her friends present there.
v Other than that the year was pretty much like any usual year. University took up most of it with exams and all that crap, holidays were spent with loads of fun.

Well that’s about it. Cheers to a new year ahead. Hope it’ll be filled with loads of success, fun and hopefully it’ll be more happening that this year. Lol. And of course hope the year to come would be filled with loads of outings and mamak sessions with everyone!

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

*2004*

since this is a summary, i would try to make it short. *year 2004* definitely a year full of ups and downs, disappointments and surprises. now that i am sitting here thinking about what happened this whole year, i have to admit this year is not a bad year afterall. of course there are some difficult moments that i have to deal with, but apart from that, everything did went smoothly..well, in a way.

beginning of 2004 - supposedly the beginning of a great year ahead but this is the time where i have to deal with my breakup with my ex of almost 3 years. of course i wasnt really in a good position to start off my year excitedly. luckily it didnt take me long to get over it...and sometimes i wondered why..even until now. maybe i am just strong *bleh* haha! it's also in the beginning of this year that i met a few great friends. this was the time i met terence, daniel, bernard, ivan, garick and ian (i hope i didnt leave out anyone here) how could i forget about raymond! silly me! haha..meeting back raymond is definitely great :) though we used to hang out together when i was with my ex but i lost contact with him for about a few months but when i met him again, he was hanging out with terence they all. what a small world! :) we celebrated valentine's day together this year. we had alot of fun (i think). at least i did!! *hehe*

april 2004 - this was when my second relationship started. of course it started off wonderfully but unfortunately it ended after 3 months. there's nothing much for me to say about this because we broke up in good terms and we are still friends now. eventhough 3 months is a short period but there's alot of sweet memories that i would love to keep. my birthday celebration this year wasn't grand but i got to spend it with my best friend, becky and also my bf that time (now ex *bleh*) one of the good moments of my birthday would be him singing a birthday song to me. awwww...so sweet! :) oh yeah....this is also the time where i met derrick, jenny, ted and pammy. it's really nice knowing all of them because they were being so nice to me even when we just met for the first time. so it's not just only disappointment afterall.

september 2004 - after disappointment, there comes surprise. some of you might remember i talked about meeting back a friend after not keeping in touch with him for about a year. this is the time where i had alot of surprises. chocolates and ice creams late at nights. very frequent surprise visits. gifts from bangkok. i have to admit i love being pampered. but then again who doesnt? :P nothing happened..life moves on and we are still friends now. but now, come to think of it...i am glad nothing happened. i realized nothing happened because i didnt want anything to happen. complicated? *hehe* this is also the time where my best friend had to go through difficult times. i hope that i managed to be there for her when she needed me. i am sure after going through all these she will definitely be stronger. :) *hugs*

december 2004 - time really flies. sometimes when i have the time to sit back and relax and think of what i did for the past few weeks/months, it really scares me because whatever i thought happened not long ago actually happened many months back. i guess this is what happened when we are too busy with our current life we forgot to keep track of our lives. bad thing or good thing? depends how you see it i guess. managed to finish my exams and now having holidays until early january. went xmas shopping yesterday and ended up spending about rm80. well, xmas is all about giving isnt it? :) oh yeah...managed to meet back a neighbour/friend of mine i know since i was 5 years old. what a small world. although we were in the same secondary school but we never talk to each other but now we are chatting online. life is full of surprises isnt it?

i remembered reading a comment in a friend's website before but i cant remember who was the commentor but the comment goes something like this "dont look forward to tomorrow because it might be better. look forward to tomorrow because it's a chance for a new beginning and also a chance to put things right." there's definitely something all of us can learn from it. so i guess this is it. my summary of *year 2004*. there's so much to look forward to in the future so no point spending so much time in the past. so bye bye 2004 and hiee to 2005. hopefully 2005 would be a great year for all of us..well, if it's not, at least try to make the best out of what we have. have a merrry xmas and a happy new year. take care everyone. adios!

p/s : thank you to those who have made this year a great year for me. although there were some difficult times but those great friends i got to know and those happy moments i managed to experience definitely overshadowed all those bad times i have to go through. thank you once again. *hugssss*

50 things to do for your bf/gf

hur... so frigging tired. as always, i couldnt sleep although i went to bed around 2am, i think. managed to sleep finally around 5+am and had to get up around 9am to send my mom to work, wake wern ching darling up and then pick her up. on the way to picking her up, i had almost died. almost met with a very bad accident. i dont wanna talk about it cos i was seriously in shock for a while. evan, please dont tell my parents/sis if you're reading this. anyway, went to coffee bean subang parade to do alot of catching up with wern ching cos i havent seen her for months since she went back to melbourne. although there were the occasional phone conversations, it wasnt enough. we both agree we missed #pfs, just like yeeng and im sure ivy and the rest misses that place too. *sniffles* how i wish we were still kids...

boring, aye? i think i can come up with a better list anytime. im just too tired now. maybe i'll come up with my own list in my next entry. ho ho ho. okay, gonna eat some durians and then call it a night. nites people. lovely weather to snuggle...

currently listening to: marry me jane - you didnt kiss me

now you know how you can excite me...

i was about to blog about the differences between like and love but then i got too lazy. am abit on the emotional side because of the lil troubles that have been happening and it has been accumulating for quite a while. one of it is something about me and the job agency which im too fcking lazy to talk about as ive talked about it in my g3isha and lj. anyway, there are only two things in this world now that can cheer me up (who cares if it's temporary) which are, david usher (click link to view his pix) and lomo cams.

about david usher, i know dion thinks he looks like david. well, he used to when he had hair and was meatier. lol. now you're even skinnier than david lah dion. and david's a frigging twig what more you?! dont mind david's body please cos it's a turn off but his looks! his dark mysterious handsome looks. who could say no? *yums* *rubs tummy* im sure some of you who have followed my blog since my virgin-slayer days would've remembered him from my previous layouts. *yums*

as for my lomo cams, i like this and it's so frigging cheap. the one i originally wanted from folio, one utama, is this and i thought rm150 was cheap until i saw online, it was only USD19.90. anybody wants to make my day (or year, even)? i so want it for x'mas since everyone's in a christmassy mood. well, holidays are never happy days for me. things get worser. i hate holidays. yea yea. call me a sour prune for all i care. i just have never had a happy holiday. never had a happy valentine date (except this year's group date! there'll be another next year hosted by yeeng), happy x'mas, happy cny, happy hari raya, happy deepavali... you get my drift. okay, nothing much to say except im a very angry person now. i'll bite *roar*. as for the pictures from penang, sorry, im too darn lazy.
