Gone.... Totally GONE

The revision is going absolutely CRAZY. There's no other way of saying it except that its been a complete maddening marathon. And I really wonder HOW on earth I can keep up with it....

How maddening has it gotten? Let me tell you how...

Fri 16th Nov, I went off to do my self study session ( as usual ) from 1 till about 8.30pm or so.. Had a break ard 5pm for about half an hour before resuming to my work... Finishing of my company tax questions. After all that, my sis insisted that I should send her off to the airport that night... SHE'S IN NEW YORK !!!!! You wouldn't wanna know how I feel abt not being able to join her... AAAAARRGGGGHHH!!!!!!!!! But hey, nvm, been there twice. Plus I did manage to head to the WTC... And I climbed to Statue of Liberty TWICE.... They can't go to neither one of these places cuz a) one is a memorial ground and b) you can't go up to the crown anymore.... Hahahahahaha!!!
Anyway, back to the story. Since she insisted that I were to send her off, being a good sister, I told her that I'll meet her there at the airport. Her flight was a midnight flight. So imagine what time I got back.

Sat 17 Nov. I had tax revision class. Your dear friend here was being so gung-ho that she stayed for not 1 or 2 revision session but for 3 sessions. Yes, you got it right. It started from 9 - 1pm. Followed by 2-6pm. And this last one was the best, 6.30- 10.30 pm. Initially I didn't want to attend the last session cuz I was afraid that I might be tired. But hey, I didn't. Plus I had Herbie with me. He brought Sour Cream Pringles.. Oh yah, supposed to bring Doritos for this Fri's session. And Mr Goh will say, eating corn chips again.. Hehehehe... Anyway, something mariculous happened before I attended that evening class.

I was hungry. Sandwich was my lunch.. Yah, so I told Sharifa that I wanted to head over to the vending machine to get some snacks. Knowing that your dearest friend here was STRAVING, I wanted to get 2 items. So after getting the first order, I started putting in my first coin, wihich was a 10 cents. And that stupid vending machine THREW it out from the return coins chute straight onto the carpeting. Fine, i know, u are abt to say, the machine wants to sleep so its rejecting my coins. So, knowing that I was already brain zombified, out of desperation, I started to put ALL my coins into the slot, hoping that some might get accepted. And guess what, out of the 10 & 20 cent coins worth abt $1.50, only 10 cents managed to get accepted.

(Please control your emotions if you are in the office or any public vicinity with effect of this paragraph.)

I went " Oit!!!! Don't you want my money here. I wanna eat alright?!!!!" with all that banging & stuff. Sharifa, looking all panic stricken, went like, "Eh! Relax girl. There's cameras everywhere in this school alright.. So chill" Then I gave up, Totally hungry & angry... People could see steam coming out of my ears.....

Word of advise: And hungry man is an angry man.

Thank goodness for Herbie having having that canister of Pringles... Even though I don't eat chips & I don't particularly like Sour Cream flavour, I ate about a quater of the canister. Loving my dearest Herbie for everything..

Then, later that night, when I got home, I was hungry & tired & sleepy. There wasn't food. So with no other alternative, went ahead to make myself a cup of milo before sleeping. And guess what, no hot water. So I took the kettle, filled it with water & waited for it to boil. While waiting, I slept, standing up, without realising it...Wow!

The next mrng, Sunday, attended my law revision which was from 9 till abt 3pm. My friends were asking whether I attended the tax evening class the night before, and when i said yes I did, they said, wah! Solid lah you". And when I told them that I picked a fight with the vending machine & mastered the art of sleeping while standing, the first thing that they said was " GONE! That's it... This girl is totally GONE...."

Seriously, I really don't know why this sitting is practically sucking the goodnes out of me. It is alright. Thing are way OF COURSE with alot of people. Maybe I'm doing too much thinking that I can't see the obvious things that's right before my very eyes.. I jump into conclusions. Make bad judgement calls which are not me & not right. I don't know... Its just sucks the goodness out of me.

SO this was what I did on Mon, yesterday. Went to catch a movie alone. Caught "The Game Plan".. I was hoping that it wasn't crowded but it was.. Haiz! But heck lah... If anybody dares to say anything, i'll just say, " Wait till you sit for a professional exam. See how far it will drive you nuts..." :) Hehehehe...

Alright, I'll just let you all wonder how nutty I've become. And I've better put a self reminder to bring a big bag of Doritos to class on Friday. Something for Herbie & I to munch....

Indeed it was a long day

Formal group photo



After a LONG day, this is the look of people at 1 am who have to go to work/school the next day....


My trip for jalan raya did turn out to an unexpected event. We, our car, got into an accident. Don't worry, we're all fine. Just some bumbs & bruises for Shannen & myself. Thank god there was the guys. They helped out alot... Sideeq remaining calm & all, Fadil, the PR fella who was doing all the slow talk with the others, Irwan, coming to us when the accident first happened. Thanks alot to all.. It was indeed a turn of event..

Nah, no worries, we did all proceed with the jalan raya, with all our parents worried about what happened. ALOT of parents Asked about alot of stuff regarding the accident. Especially Hashim's mum, cuz that was where we were heading when the accident happened. She was asking us whether all of us were alright and made us eat, you know why, cuz we were VERY hungry & VERY thirsty and VERY tired after all that happened..

ALright there, enough yacking.. Here's the pix

Off MODE

Here I am, in two ponytails, typing away on my bed, telling u guys how how I survived my first taxation revision session. Not bad because of the revision that was done in advance. Thanks to ppl like Esther & Lashmi, it didnt' turn out that bad after all..

Taxation is more of section numbers again and again. I thought law was bad enough when words such illegality, negliegent misrepresentation, duty of care, breach of contract etc. If u think that its alien enough, then how about ratio decidendi, deminimis rule, promissory esstoppel, stare decisis etc... And how about names of corporate cases such as Caparo, Donnaghue & Stevensons, Photo Production, Hedley & Heller, Hadley & Baxendale ( professional duty of care).. Alien! Alien! Alien! What?! Nonsense! Is! She! Talking! ABOUT?????!!!!

Then when its taxation, its always about tax computation for company or individual. But for individuals, there's resident of Singapore, Non- Resident, Non Ordinary Resident. There's the different tax rates that available for different people earning different amount thus being taxed at a different rate..

While doing the computation, there's terms like s10(1)(a)-(g), whereby we have to remember what each section means. And u know why I always say that I become ZOMBA after my tax classes, is because of

a) one min, the term is a term, the next, there's also an AKA in terms
of section numbers... Eg: Unilateral Tax credit Relief is aka s50A.

b) my lecturer who's without a doubt very experienced but its so tough for him to tell us the answer straight to the point. We have to probe, poke, become sherlock holmes, open evidence case, investigate etc.. Well, you get the picture...

c) And the last one is that he's the fella who's responsible for the corkyness, the zomba-ness and the nonsensical stuff that's coming out of me at the current moment. The other day, he was saying that he's stressed out because of us. And I told my friends, he doesn't know the kind of stress that HE'S giving us. My lecturer, he's cute and definately funny. Known for things such as 'that green thing', questions that's modified to the extent by which we can't solve or figure them out on our own. Like he's making us take another step ahead while doing it. Lashmi says that those questions are mutated while I call them MUTILATED. Apparently we're agreed that those words are STRONG enough for it...

Before anyone know, its coming the end of the year. You know why I am so aware of it? Cuz my exams are coming soon, meaning that the year is coming to an end. It feels like its just yesterday that I started school & taking my ACCA and now, I'm already taking the 2nd level most toughest paper, taxation...

Now I'm grooving cuz Nellie, Justin & Timbaland's Give it to me is blasting thru the radio... Gheezz, this song is totally booty-shaking!Alright, I think I'll stop yacking cuz I've gotta get back to work. My notes on relief from double taxation is staring at me.. Plus tmr I've gotta get up early. Going jalan raya with ma' crew. Taking LOADS of shots this time round. Starting it early and the expected duration for the whole thing is 12 hours, yes, we're gonna start at 11am and ending it at about 11pm. Eloo???!!! We all gotta work & go to sch the following day.. Which explains the msg on my msn.. Switching off, wef Mon..

Till I update the pix from tmr, CHAO!

Better late then never

Salam aidilfitri penuh keiklasan
Dendam di hati disimpan jangan
Salah dan silap pohon dimaafkan
Moga silaturahim kekal berpanjangan
Dengan ingata tulus ikhlas

My schedule is packed to the max with things... Exam's around the corner.. Suffering from terrible migraines. I appreciate your concern, you know who you are...

Can't talk much because the things that are on my mind..

1) Taxation notes that have yet to be completed, 4 more chapters to go.. ciayo!
2) Law test that is due this Friday, doing more reading abt corporate governance,
3) Sunday's Hari Raya Marathon... 3 cars going plus 3 or 4 bikes, something like that... wondering how it will turn out....
4) Wondering how I am going to survive for the revision that takes place during the weekends...
5) Someone owes me dinner but it keeps getting postphone due to busy schedule. Hhhhhmmmmm....


When the photo's out from my Raya collection, I'll pin it up here.. There's gotta be some really interesting pix here... Keep watching!

Getting the FEEL.....

Apparently its only now that I can feel the RAYA mood setting in. Even though my house is in complete mess, I just seek refuge in my room and BAM! I totally feel it. What's left would be to iron my kebayas and it will be all set..

Thank goodness last Dec I painted my room. So, the mess in my room is still bearable & I just have to clear some things to make my room spick & span. And the colour is beige, my fav colour. Initially I wanted to paint it red or green, like bright tones but I changed my mind while picking the colours because I'm they type of person who would like calm & soothing things. And during the exam stress period, I badly need that calamity & soothingness...

This year, its going to be the 4th year in running that I will not be receiving a wonderful Hari Raya card. The one that's especially written to me, with lots of love & sincerity. Haiz! Those days of which people will decide on the same colour of baju kurungs together. Those were the days...

Suprisingly, till today, no one can really please me that well. I'm a tough girl alright. Yes I can play the same game if you play the same game but when its a serious one, please don't kid me...

A long time ago, I would definately want to settle down, have little 'devils' running around and be happy. Spend my mornings with him playing with my hair, or admiring me while I sleep. And how well he fits into your body, every curve & angle. Knowing how well your hands fits into his palm. And when you have your kids running around, never failing to make you laugh.. When you have found that special somone, it will all be perfect.

But when I look at it(marriage) again, I think I would be missing alot of things if I continue with that initial plan. RIght now, I find that I'm more afraid of settling down then ever. Why is that so? Because there's alot of RESPONSIBILITY that goes along with it. And all your obstacles that you would be facing when one enters into that stage of life. OMG! I am so unprepared. And I thought I was before.. Gheez. And lets not talk about childbirth YET..

Things that I want to achieve in life before I enter that other stage in life;

1) Continue with my education
2) Buy my MINI COOPER
3) Earn big bucks before I turn 35
4) Continue looking out for people who might interest me.
-> I have yet to meet someone who loves to travel, enjoys the outdoor (meaning trying out alot of incredible things that have the thrill factor), never fails to make me laugh, good chemistry (VERY IMPT) & loves me for what I am.
5) When I've finally earn all that I want, I'll settle down with the right guy (if I EVER meet him), stop working as an accountant & start with my own bridal business

Its coming

A couple of things that I've gotta say...

1) I'm going out with the girls tonight. Yeah!
2) Jo, I miss u too. We ought to meet up soon before u head off to East Timor.
3) My one & only dearest Herbert, thanks ALOT for last night. You're the best!

Ok, that's the 3 most important things that I've gotta say.

Raya menjelang tapi I still don't have that festive mood setting in yet. Why is that so? I don't know. Maybe its because of all the things that's going on in my life right now. I've got no time to sit & enjoy the mood.

Hopefully the mood will set in soon. I pray hard that it will...

Stop being a prisoner in your own prison

There has been alot of things going thru my mind lately. But I'm blessed to know that things are going to be slightly different here. And I'm gonna be alright. No worries.

Went to buka with Ma' Crew yesterday at Es Teler Cineleisure. Had a blasted time being with them. As always. This time, instead of talking of old times & stuff, we were playing guessing games. The ones my cousins & I will play when we were travelling from LA to San Diego in the Amtrack train. The kind of games that you play when you either have to break the ice or just to pass time. Yup, those kind of games.

Anyway, speaking of talking about old times, we all were suprised with some news that we heard. But it is yet to be confirmed. And someone said that next time, for class gatherings, it would have to include children. The only thing my conscience was telling me was that we haven't ever passed the bring your boyfriend stage yet & now, we have to bring our kids. OMG!! Time passes by so fast. Some of our classmates are married with children..

Its amazing when you've got friends who care about you, lends you the helping hand and just be there for you whenever you need them. They love me, which explains the urgency to get hold of me immediately, whether it be thru a phone call, msn or even text msges. Ahh... The wonders of technology..

Those who have been there for me, thanks for being part the journey of my life.

Beating the crap out of me

Went for buka with 3 other girls yesterday after class. It was alright. And there was a sharing session later on after dinner. Sha left early as she was going to visit her friend's dad who was hospitalised. When we heard the bad news, sebak bila nak buka..

I'm still buried somewhere underneath my schoolwork. I'm just waiting for someone to pull me out from it. I'm just there, working & working & working... Alot of things are on my mind and I don't know how to clear it all up.. And the more I continue burying myself with work, the more I feel that I'm running away clearing up my mind.

And yah, there's a high chance that I'm calling it off....

Back after ages

Hey there. I know that its been ages since i've updated this. Been busy doing alot of things lately. And there's actually LOADS of photographs to be uploaded but there something wrong with my photo transfer. Anyway, i'm still looking into rectifying that problem.

How's my life been lately if you're asking, well alot has been going on. My school work is burrying me to the maximus. And if i've class the whole day, i'll end up being a ZOMBIE by the time i get back too. And when i start doing my work, i'll forget my meals but I have Simon to constantly remind me to eat.

How is he if you're asking, well he's there, somewhere. Busy flying. But its kinda great that he's away cuz I can concentrate on my schoolwork. The last sweetest thing that he did was to give me tix to the fireworks display over at the pontoon. It was great... And the crowd that I had to go thru...

Other then that, life has been ok.. There's alot of blessing in disguise. :)

I've got another confession to make...

I've got another confession to make...

The reason why I've not updated is because something great had happened in my life right now. Though there has to be a little sacrifices here & there, but its worth it. Not really that much fuss so its alright however sometimes, it needs a little shaking up..

My sistaz knows abt it. And they went like YANNNNNAAAAAAAA........... Totally FLY *hint hint* Ok, right now, the agreement is simple.

Alright, gtg & catch my rest. NITE!

Human are complexed individuals

Work-in-prgress

And I sometimes feel that I'm a major GUNDU BLUR like SOTONG. Talk about me being a student accountant. Ya right.. When these kind of things are right before my very eyes, I'm blur as KUKU. Sometimes I feel that relationships should be as clear as numbers. I know, I know, human are complexed individuals thus having a complexed manner in having relationships. Ok, some can call me tactless when it comes to dealing with people. Sometimes, I feel that relationships should be like numbers, which are obvious. Straight to the point. No need for any explainations. But no, relationships have to be like LAW. Got to draw diagrams to clearly analyse the situation. There's this GREY area. Unlike accounting, its either black or white. Simple.



Sentosa trip was cool even though initially I didn't feel like going. Alot was going through my mind the whole time we were out. Plus there was the NDP rehersals. Imagine Nor eyeing me like she has x-ray vision & trying to read my mind everytime the planes fly by while I will just look at the sea & pretending that its such a beautiful scene. Hehehehehehe!

What if

Alot of things are going thru my mind at the moment. About school, my upcoming results, my buggingly aching headache, these are just a few.. There are other things that's on my mind. Wish it would all GET OUT! OUT! OUT!

Going to Sentosa tmr but nah.. Not really excited about it though... Its not because of someone but I just don't forward to it anymore.

Alright, yacking nonsense right now...GTG

Sentosa this WEEKEND

Well, these few days have been quite a yoyo. I'm very busy with school. Doing more reading than I've ever had. I've got tutorials this time round so sometimes, my Saturdays are spent going to school. Ya, there goes my no study on weekends policy.

Ma' Crew have been doing great. We caught Transformers the last time. And if you've guessed it right, we are going to Sentosa again this weekend. All 10 of us. Too bad my cam's not working. What a shame. I've gotta get those shots from Nor this time round. Usually its the other way around... Sis, angkat bola eh...

I've been a little under the weather lately. I don't know whether its the weather,or its the sick season or its the workload. This usually happens unexpectedly. Just as I was getting my momentum...

Anyway, I spent my last Sun, sitting at home, reading the last installement of the Harry Potter book. Gonna read it again cuz the first round of reading was the excited wanna get to know what happened kind of reading. So I've might have missed the little bits & pieces. For those who have been reading it from book 1, you'll realised that the book is actually dedicated to us & by reading this last installment, you'll get the WHOLE picture. And did I mention that I like the ending & I finally found out what's Ginny's real name. Hehehe!

Ron+ Hermione = Rosie + Hugo
Harry + Ginny = James + Albus Severus + Lily


Shalln't say much now. Gotta get ready for school....

YouthWreck @ Timbre

YouthWreck @ Timbre Part 2

Back fromTimbre

Here I am, reporting after last night at Timbre.

It was alright. Totally like a bar concept. And if people like Sha or Nor came, they totally won't feel left out. There was LOADS of girls in tudung sitting around there. Anyway, it was more of coming down to support Fadil. Not there with other objectives in mind right?

The bands who performed was inititally boring but bands after Fadil's bands were good. Some were awesome. Like very good vocal projections & with proper diction. Will be uploading the video that was taken by dearest Wati on her N73. Bless that girl for having such a wonderful phone :)

Why is it that the high stool chairs that they have are so uncomfortable to be sat on if someone seats on it for more then 2hrs? By 10pm, Shannen, Wait & myself were plain tired from sitting. I ended up standing for a while Wati kept swithching chairs between the stool & the high chair. Shannen was like shaking her legs more often. Hahahaha! Signs of restlessness. And the best part was that Fadil & Hashim left to relax outside of Timbre because they also couldn't tahan the heat, loud music & sweaty people drinking. Baik!

When I got back, I was totally beat. I think it was more of beat from sitting on that chair rather than any other type of tiredness. I really don't understand how people can tahan in that kind of environment. And on top of that, it was smokey & with people drinking. Imagine what kind of damage it can do to your skin. Man, that's bad....

Bumped out...

Its like almost midnight and I can't sleep. Here I am, part lying on my lappy in my tanks, part snuggling under the comforters, typing away because I can't sleep. If anyone sees this, they wouldn't believe that its me.

Heading down to Timbre for Fad's gig. The monty crew will be there. Too bad I can't take pictures. My cam's not functioning & I've gotta fork out $200 to fix it. ARRRRGGGHH!!!

Anyway, yesterday, I was out with Herbie. He was just plain bored & I was back from the Olympus office, regarding my camera that's NON-FUNCTIONING.

Anyway, back to where I was, Yes, Mr Giant. When I walked by him, there's like a gap between us, in terms of height. And I had to speak slightly louder because I'm way down here while he's way up there. So I ended up having to speak louder. People might look at this little malay girl walking together with this GOLIATH next to me but I couldn't care less. Just enjoyed my company with this fantastic fella.

But what really got my blood boiling was when we were at Coffee Bean Paragon. He was accompanying me while I was waiting for my mom. Told him that it was not necessary for him to stay with me while I waited for my mom but him being a gentleman, wouldn't leave me. Anyway, back at Coffee Bean Paragon, when I was getting a seat while he got himself a drink, he told me that there was a group of female waitress was laughing at both of us when we got in. Maybe they were telling a joke & we coincidentally walked in the cafe. I don't know. So I'll just leave it at that. But when he told me that something fishy was going on over the counter, as if they were talking about us. Maybe they thought that we were couple. Herbie told me that when they took his order, the girls were being overzealously polite. Get the hint? Well, Herbie being Herbie, he's calm as ever... But even so, its not as though that they've never seen a couple with different races? Hello?! Singapore is a multi-racial country with the highest rate of mixed marriages. DUH?! *eyes rolling*

So does that mean that over those periods where I've studied with Lawrence at the library, people might think that we were a couple? Is this why Herbie kept telling me to quit hidding behind Lawrence while studying in the library?

Maybe I've been alone way too long. Not seeing anyone or having attempts in opening my radar. That is why I'm plain oblivious to the environment around me. And I can't get the slightest hint about any guy who tries to get my attention. Like I've said, just a plain GUN when it comes to these kinda of things.
