It's just me. Thinking aloud.

Life has been pretty aimless lately.. i don't know why..
i'm not exactly free.. and i'm not exactly busy either.. its just somewhere in the middle which i like.. and yet.. i seem to feel that life is lacking spice.. its like.. it has reached a plateau where everything seems to come to a standstill.. where i don't feel the excitement anymore.. where i don't feel the adrenaline rush anymore.. it feels like i haven't been truly happy... it feels like it takes so much effort just to feel the sense of achievement or satisfaction that i've always felt.. i do feel empty and quite lost at times.. not in the sense of emo lost.. but more like.. i-don't-see-the-point-in-doing-this kind of lost.. is it only me or what? i chose to blame my hormones.. =p

All these are making me think.. i can't help it.. but i question myself.. to where life is bringing me to.. i hate the feeling of being lost.. i hate to lose my aim.. and i hate to not know what i am working towards.. think i seriously need to sit down and reflect.. and stop being such a machine.. doing things that i feel obliged to do.. instead of things that i want to do..

i miss the beach.. i miss my friends.. i miss the wan ling that my old friends love.. that's what they tell me.. i am not the same wan ling they know.. they claim that the me before was much more carefree, naive and sure of what she wants.. haha.. guess i've grown out of that? minyi, ber, lx, both yy and both cs, sh, huey yee, yx.. missing you guys damn a lot right now..

=) just thinking aloud.. sharing my thoughts with you..

Food, Glorious Food!

Food. =D

Top left.. there's this place that sells frozen yoghurt in Sri Petaling.. Only opened recently... located in the same row as the Ong & Cheong Clinic... Its like a cafe.. but they sell frozen yoghurt mainly.. you can choose your own toppings to go with the yoghurt.. but then to me its so not worth it.. cause.. it cost 70 cents per topping... and they only give you a lil bit of it... so after having some at the place.. Kx and i decided to dapao one each and bring it home to top it with our own toppings... which resulted in the pic you see above... haha.. our cups were so full.. all you can see are the toppings... the frozen yoghurt is below... =) by the way.. they're having promotion currently until 31st of july where you buy one and get one free.. so one is only rm2++.. Check it out if you're a fan of yoghurt.. =D

Top right.. I cooked my first wholesome meal in vista.. =D i have been cooking.. but i have never attempted to cook a meal which consists of dishes and porridge before... its usually only porridge or soup or scramble eggs.. or something simple.. anyway... it was with the help of michelle cutting vege and washing them.. she made dessert too.. =) and.. the people that i fed were happy with the food.. and we had a nice dinner =D so i guess not too bad la har... XD david.. next time.. i cook i tell you la har.. =p

Bottom left.. after class today.. the 4 of us headed to klang just to try this curry mee.. haha.. it is NICE.. really... tastes like the curry mee i like in penang... the one in penang is one of my must eat whenever i go back... and this one in klang tastes almost similiar to it... Had other dishes of chicken and vege as well.. and the price was very reasonable.. =)

Bottom right.. LOL.. just me and my mou-liuness.. XD i liked how the star fruits looked after i cut them up.. so.. a picture of them before they go into our stomachs .. and my new housemates complained that i always need to take a picture of my food before i eat... haha.. NOT TRUE!

and owwwhhhh.. something unrelated to food... today.. seeing everybody doing jai ho together... it was AMAZING... i felt togetherness.. and i'm glad.. thankew kx for instructing.. =) and everybody who attended and made it happened.. looking forward to the next practice.. =)

Bits of Musicals from my Childhood Memories. =)

Heylo.. =) haven't been blogging for a while..
cause thing is.. there's nothing interesting that's happening in my life... =.=
unless you consider lectures and the usual routine as interesting...
no wait. i think even lectures are more boring than previous semesters... =(
anyway.. i think.. i am getting lazier... the fact that there's no more class tests is actually bringing the lazy me out more and more...
I haven't even started revising my lectures...
Besides that, everything else is pretty much the same i guess...

That aside, i was searching for songs from musicals yesterday night..
i was supposed to start doing my PBL but apparently.. the lazy side of me took over and with the song "I'd do anything" from Oilver! stuck in my head... i started searching for that clip from the movie.. Some lyrics to share..

"I'll do anything.. For you dear anything..

For you mean everything to me...

I know thatI'll go anywhere...

For your smile, anywhere..

For your smile, ev'rywhere ... I'd see..."

And then... it led me to "Getting to know you" from The King and I.. One of my favourites when i was a kid.. =)

"Getting to know you.. Getting to know all about you...

Getting to like you.. Getting to hope you like me...

Getting to know you... Putting it my way... But nicely...

You are precisely... My cup of tea... "

Haha.. you should check out the full lyrics... =)

And that led me to.. "A spoonful of sugar" from Mary Poppins...

which i like these words...

"In ev'ry job that must be done... There is an element of fun...

You find the fun and snap! The job's a game!"

....

"A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down...

The medicine go down... The medicine go down...

Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down...

In a most delightful way"

And then there's " I could've danced all night" from My Fair Lady...

Haha.. it brought back lotsa memories... of how dad used to record these on video tapes... yeah.. the old, black, one piece, box like video tape... for me to watch again and again when i was little... all these.. and it seems the songs... never fade from my memory... =) i don't know how many of you actually share the same fond memories of these musicals.. but i guess those who know all these... would smile to themselves when they hear the songs playing... now i wish i was a kid again... haha... get real! anyway.. going for lectures soon.. signing off... =D

For you, a thousand times over.. =)

I've finished reading "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini, a New York Times bestseller. And the book is the best i've read in this sem break.

I managed to read 4 novels but the one that got me stuck to it was this one.

I bought the book because it was a bestseller and i remembered reading a good review about it somewhere.Even after i've bought it, i left it aside until i've read the other novels. But once i've started reading, i was really stuck to it.

It's a riveting story, narrated by an Afghanistan boy, from his childhood until he grew up.

The story was set in Afghanistan, from its pre-Russian-invasion until the reigns of the Talibans. And as the story unfolds, the setting changed from Afghanistan to the US.

Initially, i thought this novel would be politics based but i was wrong.

It is a book rich with Afghan culture and tradition, the differences between the different ethnic groups and life in Afghanistan over the years.

A heartbreaking tale of friendship and betrayal, of a son yearning for his father's affection. I would say that this book is a must read.

It gave me an insight of Afghanistan and surprisingly, suddenly i was interested in Afghanistan, from the history to the culture to the geography, which led me to the destruction of Bamiyan, a heritage site that has been forever destroyed. Haha. Guess what? All i've been surfing about for the past few days have been all about Afghanistan and i am surprised to actually find that it used to be a beautiful place before the war broke out.

Anyway, a quote from the book that i like " For you, a thousand times over.. " =)

p/s: For the other novels that i've read, I liked "Sundays at Tiffany's" by James Patterson but the ending was a bit off for me.. i didn't like the way they end it. "The Cupid Effect" by Dorothy Koomson was =.=.. I didn't quite grasp the message that the author wanted to send across. "My Best Friend's Girl" also by Dorothy Koomson was quite a good book too. =)
