Composing songs...

There is a chinese song-composing competition in the university and I am to take part in it. Well, it all started when a friend of mine wanted to join this competition as she can write good lyrics. So, she started convincing me to join too as she thinks I can write songs. And now, a big bunch of Journalism students are taking part in this. She is in charge of the lyrics, me the song, another friend the arrangements of the song, and a few other Journalism friends the singing part. It was suppose to be fun...

I spent the last two days facing the piano, and I mean the whole day! My mind is now not quite right. Bear with me, ok? I composed and sing myself as they wanted to know how the song is suppose to sound. I sang terribly. It was all out of tune. Whatever lar... It is good enough that I finished two songs.

Although it was a lot of hard work, I think it would be fun when we all really get together and sing. Hope they will like it though. The songs are not really good but what the heck! It is the process of having fun that counts right?

Hopefully we will be putting the song together on Tuesday. Can't wait to finish this off...

Sing some more!

I went to 1 Utama's Neway yesterday with my U-friends for the very first time and you know what? I enjoyed every bit of it, although how we get there was a bit confusing. We could not find each other because 'someone' gave wrong instructions. Hehe... No offense here. We finally managed to meet each other and we sang our hearts out, seriously!

It was really fun! One of my friends really danced and it was hilarious. We laughed and sang and laughed some more. That guy really sang with much emotions. It was funny though watching him like this. We had a great time and wished we had more. We sang for nearly three hours but still it was not enough. Our next singing session will be in Genting, hopefully...

Oh yes! There is something else. We were all very hungry when we finally reached there but the food will only be served at 2.30pm. So, we have no choice but to wait. But guess what? The food came in late! So all of us were practically shouting for food there. Some of us even sang out we were hungry in the middle of a song. It was just plain fun.

Later we went back to class, which was 5.00pm to 7.00pm (weird time to be having class, right?). And you've guessed it. We were all tired. The supposingly noisiest person in our class was really quiet during that class. All his energy was used in his singing I guess. And when he was picked to read a passage out loud, his voice was sore. We all laughed.

A guy in my class who really looks and sounds like Jay Chou (He'll kill me if he sees this. He just hates people calling him Jay) really DOES sound like Jay when he sings. My friend, Mong Er chooses mostly Stephanie Sun's songs and she really sounds like her. Someone called her 'Sheng4 Yi1 Zhi1' as in 剩一枝 just because she sounds like Sun1 Yan4 Zi1 (孙燕姿). Haha... I think this name will be glued to her forever.

Just hoping we will have more fun times like this. There's still this Genting trip. Oh, I am just hoping this trip will be a success.

Mong Er just told me to help in recruiting new members for Photography Society. I just hope I will know what to say tomorrow as I have very limited knowlegde on this society. Well, I might as well use this opportunity to promote this society.

For UTAR students, please join Photography Society. It is a nice club but it will be nothing without you. We need new members to make this club a success and to be able to carry out activities. We need new ideas from new members. We need people to join our activities. So please visit our booth tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. We will be there if you have any doubts. Hope we will be of great help. Please join us...

I do not speak funny!

I wonder why but since last year I found out something nobody has ever told me before. There are people who said my voice is funny. Until now, I still wonder why they say that...

It all started last year in KTAR. A girl said my voice sounds like 林志玲 because I tend to go out of tune when I speak. I was very surprised then. It was the first time people said my voice is funny. Well then, I thought it is just one person who thinks this. Man, was I wrong...

I went to UTAR and there are about three people saying the same thing. They said my voice tends to shake a lot and that it is very funny. All this time, I never once thought my voice is funny and now there are people saying it is. I am very confused right now...

My voice is NOT funny okay? I DO speak normally. And if you think my voice is funny, it is not my fault at all. It is my voice and I was born with it. I cannot simply change it. And for those who think I am acting this voice out, you are wrong! This IS my voice and I am not faking it. Besides, I think my voice is normal enough. You are the one who are thinking too much or you are just listening too much. I don't know. All I know is my voice is NOT funny, okay?

I look like what???

Is my face that common-looking that I can look like whoever you think of? I got the weirdest comment you can ever imagine. Maybe my face is just too common that it looks like everybody...

Someone once said I look like an anime character, with my big big eyes and all. I think it is kind of funny because it will be very weird if an anime character really comes to life. Her eyes will be too big and with what seems like lines for the nose and very very small lips. It will just be too weird.

Then someone said I look like a cartoon. They could not think of what cartoon I simply represent. After some serious thinking, they finally concluded that I just have a look of cartoons. I somehow look like a cartoon to them, which is very awkward. A cartoon? Until now I cannot figure out whether it is to be taken as a compliment or an insult.


I went to redbox with my friends once and sang Jolin Tsai's songs. Then, some of them started saying I look like her. My friend who likes to pinch people (you know who you are) even said I look like Jolin, before she became pretty. She was not so pretty then you know. How dare she! It hurts me so badly to hear her say that.

What surprises me most is this. Today, out of the blues, my lecturer suddenly said I look like A Mei and I think she meant Zhang Hui Mei. I was totally shocked. This is a first! Since when do I look like her? This is just getting too weird. I should create my own identity from now. Why can't people just say I look like me?

People nowadays think too much...

It's over

Thank God! The Chinese presentation is finally over. We did well today, I think. Although as usual, I left my sentence hanging in the air nearly throughout the whole presentation, we still did good. Thanks to my whole class...

True enough, today I was 'huh'ing all the time, especially when they started using Chinese words that are too high of standard for me. I stopped a lot during my presentation. I just could not seem to find the right words to express what I was suppose to say. Practically the whole class was helping me out today by filling in the blanks for me. Whenever I stopped in the middle of a sentence, they just blurted out words to me, allowing me to pick the words of my choice. That will definitely cost my marks. Yikes!

It was quite funny actually, watching me struggle to find the right words to say. Fortunately, it is all over now. Chew Mong! We did it! No more for us...

Chinese presentation = Doom!

Oh my goodness! I am so nervous right now. I am having a presentation tomorrow. You may say, apalah lu... presentation also scared... But hey! This is no normal presentation. This is a Chinese presentation and my partner and I are presenting on 'The Da Vinci Code', which is a very sensitive issue (about religion you know...). *Biting my nails now...* I have to admit, this is my first presentation in Chinese and I do not know what to do! Help...

After about two years not touching any Chinese, what do you expect from me? I wonder how am I going to present well tomorrow. No doubt I will be 'ah'ing and 'erm'ing throughout the whole presentation. My mind will be blur and I will start saying 'What?' all the time. Someone help me!

To make things worse, a few of my classmates said they will 'kindly' prepare questions for us in the Q & A session. They will just shoot us tomorrow. So now, I am just preparing for a battle. Better remember to bring my armour tomorrow, or I will get it...

Trying to figure out how am I suppose to handle this tomorrow... What if I do not understand what they are asking? (They sometimes just love to use Chinese that are hard to understand, for me at least...) What if I do not know how to answer? What if I forgot what I am suppose to say? What if they do not understand what I am saying? What if... Oh my! I am getting crazier by the minute. Time to chill...

*Breathe in... Breathe out...* Okay! No worries. My partner will help me out, right? My classmates will not treat us that badly, right?

Well, I just have to get ready now. All I have to do is just wait...

*Yikes!*

Five little boys

I saw five boys playing in the playground today. Four of them were small and skinny, the other one was fat. They were wearing school uniforms so I assume they decided to hang around and play after school.

They were so cute! They were trying to figure out how to play the see-saw together. There were two see-saws in the playground. At first, two skinny ones climbed on one end then the fat one tried to get on. Then, three of them went on one end. After that, they gave up. When I was about to go, I saw four of the skinny ones sitting on both sides of the see-saw. I do not know what the fat one planned to do. But they looked like they were having fun...

How nice it is to be a child again... You can play all you want. It makes me wonder what will happen to them in years to come. Will they still be friends? Will they still remember this moment? When they were worry-free and just enjoying every moment of life? What will they become? A succcessful doctor? Or a pirated-VCD guy? Or maybe the leader of our country? Will they remember they had these friends once? Will they want to remember?

Looking at them, I know I am worrying too much. The future is for the future us to worry. There is no point to worry now. What we must do is just to cherish everything we have now. Be glad. Be happy. At least by doing this, we know that no matter what happens in time to come, we will not regret one bit. We will not look back and say I should have done this, I should have done better...

Life is like this. There are ups and downs. There are present happiness and past memories. Friends will forever be friends. No matter what happens, they will be there. Our memories will forever be there...

Chinese chinese chinese... Why!

I will survive! I am surviving... At least for now... Oh my! Who am I kidding? I am dead!

Just finished my seemingly-taking-forever-to-finish Chinese test, which contains two surprisingly lengthy essay with lots of wrong-written words. What do you expect from me? I have not write Chinese for quite some time now. I do not read Chinese newspapers. (Actually I do not even read newspapers that often. And to imagine I am taking up journalism... Weird...) So there is pretty much an idea of how am I coping up with this Chinese subject in your mind now. It is impossible I tell you. IMPOSSIBLE!!! Why do I have to put up with this? Why?

During the test, I just stared at the paper then just wrote and wrote and wrote... And it is not because I have tons of things to write. No! It is merely because I do not know what to write. I do not have a specific answer to it. So I chose to write whatever appropriate, just to be on the safe side. I practically just repeated everything over and over again. That is what people do when they do not have an idea of what is going on. That is just me! I am normal too you know...

I am just waiting for the day my results are out. Can't wait to look at the disappointed face on my teacher. Hey, I can't help it. I am just not good in Chinese. What do you expect?

You know what... I have a strong feeling I am not the only one with this worries right now.

Hey, you have me and I have you. Let us go through this impossible task together!

Remember... Miracles do happen! Let us just hope that this miracle fall on us...

Chinese. Yikes!

I am fully recovered already! Well, there is still a bit of cough here and there but overall, I am okay. Thanks to the concern and care from my friends and family, the curse from Bear Bear is finally broken! Yeah! (My illness is caused by Bear Bear's never-ending curses you know. Bad Bear! Bad...)

I have to study Chinese now in university because the supposingly elective has somehow miraculously turned into a must-take subject! I hate it! Now, I have to struggle to try to recall the Chinese language that has been long hidden well behind the small mind of mine. This makes it hard and slightly impossible for me to get first-class honours! Cheh, as if I can get it without this horrible subject. But then, I am kind of glad I am taking this subject. We can learn something through this. We can have fun. I am to present on The Da Vinci Code and it is kind of fun. But that is just the small percentage of it. How on Earth am I going to pass my examinations? Hope the teacher accept 'han yu pin yin' in the essay.

I have to read some Chinese writings by a supposingly famous author which I obviously do not know who she is. I have not even heard of her. And she was supposed to be famous! I have got hold of the text and is looking though them. How can people even read this stuff! I seriously do not understand what she is saying. Oh my goodness! How am I going to sit for this examination? Someone please help me...

Struggling to understand the text. Trying to figure out what her message is through this writing of hers. Hoping I can do well in this text. Praying for some miracle to happen...
