I wish to be like u!

Being carefree and doing anything that you like to do..Not being inquisitive of what's going to happen tomorrow. Why can't I do that now?
Why do we always look into the future for?
Why do we need to think about wat's ahead of us?
Why do we need to take precautionary steps of what's going to happen?
Why do we have to think about IFs??
Why do we like to predict about what might happen?
IS life about thinking about tomorrow? The fact is we won't have any idea of what would happen next but we tend to think about the If's and If not's.
I don't like the feeling of walking behind you. I don't like the feeling of being untrusted.
Me and Jascelynn.

Have not been updating. =P

Things that happened in the past two months which i can remember so far.
Super long post... with photos. =)
Times Square haven’t been so much fun since… I don’t know when. But that day’s outing and meeting up with a few friends was just great.

Not so perfect group photo. Bad photo day. All four photo stickers were more or less flawed too. =)

Upon arrival.

Focus on the plates. Oily! But the chicken chop was only for RM2.90. Thanks Chee Fai!

Busy snapping.

Sweet.

Somehow, i like this place.

What's wrong with your smiles?

The best photo after 5 takes... gosh...
Next!
Chin’s birthday! Suprised her by hiding and switching off all the lights. But how to unlock the door and hide at the same time? haha. I unlocked it and hid in the toilet and saw every expression on Chin's face while the others hid in the room. Too bad I forgot to snap those priceless expressions!

Chin.. you didn’t allow me to get one perfect shot of yourself.. Hence…

Random.
One evening in Akasia. The view of Block 1. The block we're staying in.

It was the night before Maths test. We were doing maths in our room when suddenly Kit Yeng mentioned chocolate indulgence. Couldn’t recall how though. So we thought of Secret Recipe and suddenly, we all agreed to go right then. Thus, we packed out stuff (never faster) and headed there.

Aiks. I still had my name tag on.
\
Yum!

Cakes and calculators! haha.Didn't realise the calculators were in the background.
Spent 2 hours ++ there??
In class...

random picture snapped by Lean Theng. These two sit with me in class. =) Wai Wai and Jeff. THe one behind is hyperactive Atikkkk! Right at the back is Deborah. Guy behind Atik is my class rep, Kong. The other two, Ali and Kumar.
Jufa's birthday celebration at Pak Li.

Steamboat at the hostel.
My second steamboat after a heavy steamboat with Wai Wai and Debbie. and Siaw Leng =P
We had this for lunch and dinner because we bough too much! Couldn't resist. haha.

This was after one round.

This was the first round.

Kit Yeng and Rachel.

Me and my roommate.

Rachel and Jascelynn

Us again

Them again.

Sorry KIit YEng. The camera doesn't want to have you in the photo. =P

1/407!

Out of 11 shots in front of the mirror! Only two qualifies...

Me and Siaw Leng.What's with the lighting...

Siaw Leng and Lean Theng.

Class photo in the lab.
Me and my cute cousin who's going to be in some Barbie ad! haha.

There's also this outing that I'm dying to upload the photos. =P
Anyway, these are some of the updates in I don’t know when. Not much words. Just pictures. Though I remember my lecturer saying “Since a picture says a thousand words, your descriptive essay picturing that event should be of a thousand words too”
It’s an excuse as I just want to keep this alive. =)
Last but not least, happy Mid-Autumn Festival! (I want more mooncake!)

Silence

I'm here alone in my room as I type this.
One may visualise this as a silent environment.
The truth is... are there moments of complete silence? Where you can't hear anything (not applied to those with hearing problems) ?
As I'm typing this.. The no.1 sound is coming from the clicking sound on the keyboard.
When I stop and listen, I hear blowing sounds from the air conditioner.
When I stop, close my eyes and listen, I hear some noise from the PC.
When I stop, close my eyes, focus to the surroundings and listen, I hear my breath.
When I stop, close my eyes, focus, slowly listen...
I hear more than all these.
I hear lots and lots of voices from within me.
I not only hear now. Instead, I can see pictures, visualisations.
Memories from the past came back. Childhood memories, embarassing events, sad experiences, happy moments. They all come to me slowly, silently, creating the noisiest sounds which I can hear.
Silence?

Life

How do you define life?
Is it all about breathing and all about biological feedback?
Or is it about going out there and spending life no matter how you feel?
Or is life only about happiness?
What do you think life is?
How did God create life?
Why did God created life?
Is it God who created life in the first place ?

No matter what it is, and what perception towards life you have...
L-Live
I-It
F-Full and
E-extraordinarily

Although life doesn't only contains happiness but a blend of everything...
Happy 18th birthday Eileen!

Chin and Jascelynn.

Jascelynn and Kit Yeng

Random combination.

I'm posting this only with photos. And completely unarranged. So sorry!=) Lack of time.

Lies

Another ordinary day in the hostel, when we were laughing and joking around.
We talked about something which I can't recall. But I said " Well, this is life. People just lie"
Jascelynn said "Life is about lies"
"No lie, no life"
How true is this statement?
Do we all live in lies?
Of course, there's no doubt that lies surround us.
BUT , can we live without lies??
Holiday

Mid semester break brought forward?
Yup. Back from Shah Alam for a week.
Find me.
= )

3 most memorable phrases in class

"Inspired by life" - well.. it's by MMMC actually
"I took medicine because I don't want maths."
"If that patient is my father, I would not agree to mercy killing" versus " If that patient is myfather, my father would rather die"
A few friend as thick as thieves or LOTS of associates with low intimacy?

Which describes you? and which type of relationship do you prefer?
Me being the usual Diane. As ordinary as ever.. yup, you guessed correctly...would prefer a few bosom friends.
Why?
The usual answer. What's the points of having lots of associates and none of them are whom you can really express yourself, lean on when you're down, wet his/her shoulders, enjoy the darkest secret and have fun like no other because there are no restrictions no boundaries and complete TRUTHFULNESS to each other?
If I were to live with the other choice, I would certainly not be as jovial as I am as I'm typing this. If there weren't a place where I truly believe I could be myself like no where else and express myself however I want, there's a missing piece in life.
Being with lots of not-so-close friends means some tend to be indigenuous, duplicitous or simply two faced.
Sincereness would not be felt. And to me that S word is one which makes a relationship a long term relationship. Though people meet and leave each other one day, it shouldn't be of a short period because friends are to be kept not forgotten. And keeping friends means knowing, caring, supporting and well.. being there. You got the idea, right?
Note: NEVER lend an ear just because you want to know and dig your nose in others' lives.

I'm shifting off topic. Anyway, casual friends haven casual talks.Not deep conversations. Do you have deep conversations with these friends? certainly not in a big group. At times I would like to more people in my life. Yes, it's something good. But it might stumble down and gaps form when casual friends could not yield to a level of intimacy and then... the worse thing happens. You run out of topic WORTH talking about.
The bottom line is: Before you get to a conclusion of which you would prefer, better ask yourself what type of conversations you would like to have at the end of the day.
Balance both and I guess we would all have no problem.

Orientation in Intec... I wrote this last week but there was a black out right before i clicked Save. So... lazy to retype what exactly happened in orientation.
Overall, it was fun, not as tiring as the one in KMM. The main idea is the know plenty of people all around Malaysia and... who are going to different places in the world few years from now.
The only adaptation needed is to wear long sleeve and long pants. Besides that, Intec's a pretty good place.
Anyway, I'm in room 1/407. Housemates : Jascelynn, Rachel and yup, the insane friend I have: Kit Yeng.
Shouting Laughing Producing silly noises Joking around with the lamest jokes Eating 24/7 ...that's what we do in the room. =)
After a week of orientation, we went Times Square, Sg.Wang and Low Yat. Main purpose going that far is to get Sin Huey's laptop warranty card signed. Don't know why it isn't signed in the first place. The next purpose is to shop! Right... I just went window shopping. Haha. The rest of them spent A LOT. =)
Anyway.. due to time constraints, a few pictures from orientation week first.

Anticlockwise: Me, Kit Yeng, Eileen and Wenn Dee

The addition to the group is Sze Jia aka Lemon9 you'll never fall asleep during talks with her around.

While waiting for some rehearsal, we took photos. 7 of us... Where's Chin and Jascelynn!? Supposed to be 9 of us though.

Lessons learnt:
1. Never EVER judge a book by its cover.
2. When you're away from FAMILY, you need the otehr 6 letter word which starts with an F.
3. Smiles are always inviting.
4. Never hesitate to help a friend in need. You would never know when you need someone like how you treat the other.
5. I'm in a whole new world. =P
6. Your room will be crowded when you have a roommate with as much things as you. =P
7. Don't talk about Chinese food when you're about to sleep and in a place you can never get Chinese food!

What happened that day? I forgot.. Went to Pavillion for Transformers. Have to buy twin seats tickets as there were no more seats left unless of course... the first row... Apology to Chee Fai who have to sit alone again because the tickets has been sold out. Other than this... I can't remember much that happened. My memory is getting worse . =D
Anyway, pictures...

One more picture is not here. HAHAHHAHAH =D

Neovascularisation. Blood vessels growing inwards in the cornea.

Explains why I'm with my specs whole day long.
This is due to deprivation of oxygen in the eye. It also caused staining in the cornea. Fluid from the eye moves to the cornea thus causing blurred vision. So even with my specs my vision is hazy for now.
below. Copied from http://www.toronto-optometrist.com/eyecon-cornealneovascularization.php
Corneal Neovascularization
Corneal neo- (new) -vascularization (blood vessel growth), an in-growth of superficial or deep blood vessels into the cornea, is a sign of corneal oxygen deprivation and stress. This condition is most often associated with contact lens overwear. It can also be caused by toxic effects from lens or solutions, or traumatic causes such as damaged or heavily deposited lenses. It typically involves both eyes. Many cases of corneal neovascularization are asymptomatic, with some patients noticing redness around the cornea. Other symptoms include: eye pain, tearing and photophobia (light sensitivity), red redness, contact lens intolerance after a few hours of wear, and decreased vision.
Most contact lenses interfere with oxygen transport to the cornea. The longer a lens is worn, the greater the risk for developing corneal hypoxia (lack of oxygen to the cornea), which induces metabolic changes in the corneal epithelium. In response to this oxygen depletion, blood vessels grow into the cornea in a dramatic attempt to help supply needed nutrients to the impoverished corneal tissues.
Prolonged lens wear (> 10hrs/day) carries a greater risk of corneal neovascularization than part-time wear, due to the continual presence of the lens on the eye. Increased blood vessel proliferation and redness are common findings in association with extended contact lens wear. Blood vessels extending beyond 2mm from the cornea margin, should be viewed with concern, as further progression can result in permanent contact lens intolerance and vision loss.
Specs and pacifier.

Without them. She's cute!
