Feeling gloomy and depressed is really inevitable and it does not necessarily require a reason sometimes. When it hits us every once in a blue moon (and everything around just don't go the way it should be for example wanting to eat Maggie but there's no egg, wanting to chat with mom but she's having a meeting in Malacca, wanting to sms but digi down – though only for 10 minutes, wanting to buy dinner but it's raining etc), what matters most is how people around us help us through the resiliency.
To be frank I am not a girl living with exceptionally high expectations on everything (as contradict to general presumption hmph!), a simple message from a person who is in an effort to help really can help clear the dark cloud amazingly quick.
With this, I would like to thank every one of you my friends in the effort of pulling me out of the deep sea during that critical few hours, especially you-know-who-you-are (I don't know if you even read this but here's a sincere thanks from a grateful me).. I am indeed, a very lucky girl, but me being me, I never liked the feeling of troubling people. Perhaps I should tune down a bit the next time it strikes as nobody should even be bothered during my lousy crappy times, really. Look at the trouble I caused sigh.
Anyway good news is, I'm pretty much myself again now. I owe all you wonderful people my loving thanks today. xoxo =)

Sushi King RM2 Bonanza
It's here again!!
Every semester without fail.
Every semester without fail.
The Sushi King RM2 Bonanza!
There are too many Japanese food restaurant around nowadays making it pretty competitive for the fellow businessmen but us consumers on the other hand, get to pick the best out of the kaleidoscopic choices available all the time yay!
If it wasn't because of the RM2 Bonanza, doubt my friends and I will even step foot in Sushi King nowadays.
To survive in the market, they should probably consider discriminatrory pricing for students (like us!!) and do some research on competitors' actions and customers' demands.
Capital Budgeting would do some good in terms of long run and if they really consider coming out with new products that attracts more sushi lovers, I reckon the short payback period will also get to change the image of its current status in our mind.
See? who says taking Management and Accounting for Engineers is a waste of time? even the noobest accounting student who played truant for more than 50% of the lectures is able to come up with something related to the syllabus.
oh well. nutty yiny is sleepy hence the crappy entry (omg it rhymes I'm such a talented blogger wth good night world)
Muahahahaha.

Holding My Mother's Hand - Daniel Gottlieb
Even though the book seems to be SO tempting, I am trying my best not to touch it too frequently now. The external reason would be that I have Mass Transfer test tomorrow, but the internal reason would be caused by fear. The fear that I have reached the final line of the 170th page, the fear that I can't find anything on par with this in the market, the fear that something so valuable to me have to come to an end.
For the sake of remembering what the author said by heart, there are quite a number of pieces that made me read over and over again. One that really touched my heart was the piece on "Holding My Mother’s Hand"..
"I recalled how her hands had made me feel safe when I was little. I also remembered how, when I was a few years older, I rejected the security that her hands had offered, pretending I was more independent than I really felt"
Only after the death of his mother, the author started to recollect about the past. How a mother who fought, pushed, nagged, annoyed, mistrust and embarrassed him in front of his friends was a powerful mother who was fighting FOR him even more.
The closer we are to people around us, the more we tend to judge them as far from perfection. Expectations after expectations, disappointments never seem to cease. Sometimes all we need to do is really just to open up our heart and accept everything the way they are. That way, life would be simpler and happier.

Learning from the Heart
had a talk with a close friend yesterday and I was advised to widen my general viewing angle by reading more. I walked into Harris today and found a few good books that really attracted me. If it wasn't because I'm on a tight budget this month, I would have gotten them without giving a second thought sigh!
Currently reading is an inspiring work from Dr Daniel Gottlieb. The minute I settled down in my hostel I just couldn't let go of this book. Every little topic published in this book really has a ring of truth in it. I am not blogging any further because I have now discovered something that is worth every second of my time =)
Read up peeps, and enrich yourself in the realm of wisdom. It is time to hop out from that narrow perspective.

Random Thought
A sudden message from a senior I've not heard from in years dragged my thoughts back in a time capsule..
I guess in life, there are just people who don't click with us although there isn't much encounters between us and absolutely nothing is done on our side to deserve such cold treatments. While we keep ponder about the why-s of such situations, never did it cross our minds that all these while, there are many others who like and accepted us for who we are without a solid reason too.
I guess it's just a norm that people tend to always look at things and spend more time thinking about the unnecessary pessimistic side of life. Then again, once in a while, somebody or something out there will just appear out of no where to also remind us that we are actually missing so much from the brilliant side of life.
Just a random saying, life's too short to be ruined by petty unworthy matters and people. Save your time and energy for the things that'll bring a smile =)
yours truly,
yiny.
(on the night before my management and accounting test haha I'm so screwed!)

I Wish Tonight will Never End
All seems to be so calm tonight, especially with the hours of rain falling from the sky. I wish I could have an i-Touch with me right now, blasting through my ear drums the songs I adore while I stand under the rain allowing every drop of water to gently land on my complexion..
I wish I could tell the moon to stay put for another 24 hours and let the sun take a day off from its daunting routine.
I wish I could find a perfect somebody that has the capability of making me feel comfortable to sit beside me, share with me on what I feel right now and give a real warm hug to this frozen little soul.
I'm tired recently, really tired of entertaining people who only want to take without giving, and expect me to give without taking. I'm tired of trying to be strong and steady all the time when what I really need is to hide in a pair of arms feeling protected.
I'm bored of the thought that strings of tests are coming up soon and I'm so not prepared. I'm tired of feeling guilty for not studying hard enough but still can't find the motivation to strive.
At times like this, I just wish that this one moment in time can be paused. and stay just like this for as long as possible. nothing less, nothing more. just like this.
lovin' the rain. and the serenity that comes with it. =)

Seniors' Return
It's 5.30am right now I can't believe I'm still up blogging. Well no matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to put myself to sleep, so I figured I'll just update my blog with pictures I took today and hopefully I can get some sleep later..
Spent my day time choosing and purchasing presents for our seniors who came back for their convocation today.
Had LOTS and LOTS of seafood for dinner with our ex-roommate (and her family) at Kg Salut, together with a few other coursemates.
.... and went yumcha with the chemical engineering seniors at Lintas Yoyo Cafe afterthat.
great catching up with them =)
Since Yoyo Cafe closes at 11pm, the next destination that we went to was Sze Lin's house at Lintas Square..

Be Open, Me.
Because holding on to grudges is self-hurting and intolerable, I decided to forgive.
Because getting all frustrated about minute matters like these makes relationships complicated, I decided to forget.
Because I want to cherish the remaining time I have with people I care, I decided to be happy.
Because a friend once told me that a smile is contagious, I decided to start an epidemic! =)
Look how much have I grown up. Cheeerrss! =P
Inspiration source: a song sent by shirley darling to my mailbox this morning =)

rant of the moment
hello blog.
I have tonnes of workload piling up but I really have zero mood to start any of them. It scares me when lecturers spoke about things I have no freaking idea about during lectures because I'm so far behind syllabus ever since those freaking bacterias started infecting my eyes. but the moment lectures ended, the tension just evaporates. and I feel numb. all the time.
I can't find the key to start my engine. I feel sleepy all the time and I keep thinking about where to go and what to do for leisure. It's sheer procrastination I tell you. I can't find the motivation to start anything.
can you imagine I can't even find the energy to hold a pen right now and scribble in my diary? I actually feel quite bad for declining an invitation from a senior to perform tonight. I was asked to do a duet and a solo. but I just declined. sigh.
I'm feeling sick about human relationships nowadays. every word I utter I have to think about the consequences that come next. some people can be so kind, so caring and so generous yesterday, but they can be as cold as a vampire today. some people keep taking turns around the bush to tell me things I honestly don't even bother to know. some people makes me wanna puke seeing how fake they are trying to be Mr and Mrs Nice all the time. some people on the other hand, can be more than extraordinarily annoying. and some people, just like me, are too good with complaining about things that obviously nobody cares in blogs like this because I can't find the tank to release my dissatisfaction anymore hmph!
I guess it's just one of those periods I feel like escaping from the big crowd, running away from everybody and lock myself in a quiet place to breathe for a couple of days. then again, I can't.
but you know what? I'm done complaining. Now I can very well go to bed. Good night blog.

Shopaholic Disease
when the girl friends were finally done with their trainings, I started spreading the disease of shopping for clothes nyehehe such a bad influence I am!
LOL!!
and when girls are busy camwhoring in the changing room... the guy who accompanied the gf?
Whole day out. Bought 3 tops, 2 mask sheets and dinner at a seafood restaurant. when I finally reached room at 10.45pm, I sat down and calculated my monthly expenses.
Guess what people. Guess what!
in just ONE month, September 2010, I spent a total sum of RM1644.20 wth!!! Do NOT forget that I was back home two weeks during raya and most of my food expenses were covered by my parents.
1644.20 wei. That is equivalent to what I spent in FOUR MONTHS last semester. aaaaahh!!
If I don't keep an eye on my expenses from now on I'm sure to go bankrupt soon. No joke. Better berinsaf already.
Super exhausted. out for almost 12 hours today I'm dead tired I bet you can tell from the way I cincai blog tonight. Good night world.

Colours
Nothing much I can do over the weekend at such condition.. So I decided to go for a retail therapy at 1Borneo while my friends are having some job trainings here.
Stopped by at FOS and figured it's time to get some spaghetti stripes since it's horribly HOT in my hostel and the quality of the spaghetti stripes are really not bad I can bring some back to KL for casual wear too =)

As Promised Before...
Not that we girls looked marvelous or anything but I sure hope these random 5 pictures of us taken 2 weeks ago will brighten up this gloomy site a little =)
I can't sit for exams, I can't do assignments, I can't study aaaah everything is piling up right now I feel so zzzZZzz! All I am capable of right now is to act strong and tell everybody "hey I'm fine no worries thanks for your concern" and sleep more than 12 hours a day.
Sigh!! helpless sial.
Definitely one of the nights I found myself really happy and hyper. When can I ever set my emotions back on track now sighh.
