GOODBYE LB, HELLO HELP

2009-08-31T10:11:00.000-07:00

Internship is finally over.
A very fruitful 7 weeks I had.
7 weeks in Leo Burnett, got me thinking is advertising what I really want for my career?
Advertising is indeed interesting,
but whenever I ask people what time they went back last night, a.m. usually the answer and always followed by 'Welcome to advertising life!' gave me a second thought.

Well, I'm still young, nothing to lose...

......................

I need to be reminded all the time;
that now is the best moment of my life, never waste it.
Although I have been complaining 'Oh Gosh, I'm old, I'm 22!'
Well, screw me! I'm only TWENTY TWO, the best time of my life!
But sometimes I tend to forget that, so who ever that read this, if you get to see me, please do remind me that.

=)

Her last three wishes...

2009-08-03T07:04:00.000-07:00

Rest in Peace, Aunt.

I will meet you in heaven, for sure.

You will always be in my heart.

There are only two regrets.
First, you are too young to leave us.
Second, you havent fulfilled your last three wishes yet.

1) Your eldest daughter's graduation
2) Your new restaurant's opening in September
3) Your niece's wedding in November

I promise you I'll take care of your son as long as he is here in KL.
I promise you I'll live up to your bubbly, kind and helpful attitude.
I promise you I'll go back to JB more often.

Now the only worries I have is my aunt's husband.
I'm really heartbroken to see him acting normal while deep down in his heart is terribly hurt.
God please help him and the family.

='(

2009-07-26T03:11:00.000-07:00

Tears that cant be stopped,

Hoping prayers are answered.

I love you.

='(

My aunt is getting better though she needs to stay in ICU to stabilize her condition.

=)

She will be fine. *praying hard*

Finally, I got my internship in Leo Burnett Advertising firm!
Starting work next Monday, 9 to 6.

The thing that anticipate me the most is their office atmosphere, tremendously cosy!
However, most of the people in the office are hooked with cigarettes, eyes with dark circles, and frown on their 3 days never sleep face.
Well, is an advertising firm afterall, datelines and rushing are common.
Anyway, I'll still do my best to learn whatever I can in this 7 weeks internship!

Now I just need company for formal wear shopping. Anyone?

Regrets

2009-06-12T10:44:00.000-07:00

Regretted.

A lot of things I should have done, but I did not do.

Some words I should have said, but I kept my mouth shut.

Feelings that I should have expressed, but I refused.

Never take things for granted, I should learn.

................................

Anyway, The thing that bother me most is my aunt.
She has been recently diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia.
From what I heard, this is a type of very aggressive cancer.
If left untreated, death is within months.
Even with chemotherapy, survival rate is 3 years for 20% of the patients.
In another words, 80% of them did not make it and even though they made it, they wont survive long too.
However, I believe miracles do happen and I'm praying hard for it.

My aunt is a very sweet and lovely person.
She can crack seriously funny jokes and simply just brighten our days up.
She always pamper us with her brilliantly own made dishes, never fail us, never.
Whenever I tell her I want to eat steamboat, she prepares everything for me, without any hesitations.
I remember when I broke up with my ex, she was there to comfort me. Few weeks later, she called me and wanted to introduce some of her potential nephew in law to me.
That was really funny and ended up my sister who was the one interested.

I really dont know how am I going to take it if there's anything happen to her.
I cant bear to see how my mom get into devastation.
And I dont know how are my cousins going to endure the pain.

God, please help her...
Please...

I hate exam!

2009-05-29T08:36:00.000-07:00

Mid term is next week.

Sigh, please get rid of those lazy worms in me!

I miss my bed already...

Zzzzz

Volleyball.

2009-05-19T05:40:00.001-07:00

This is the very first time I am playing volleyball.

Yes, your eyes are perfectly fine!
Valerie joined volleyball club and in fact she just got back from practice.
Cant wait to tell you guys about it and I havent even taken my shower yet. Hehe.

Practice was fine because of great weather.

Coach was strict enough, get to learn to hit the ball in a proper way.

Volleyball court was significantly small, constantly running out from the court to pick up the ball.

Tired, going to sleep early tonight.

Counterpain cream, muscle pain.

Last but not least;

My camera, swollen hand.

My swollen right hand

I hope I did the right thing.

2009-05-04T06:55:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! Sorry for not updating, I have been busy with work after exam.

Currently I'm promoting Blackberry phone at TTDI maxis centre. So, if you happen to be there, PLEASE PLEASE come in and look for me! Because I can only sit when explaining the phone to the customer, so PLEASE do come and be my customer! Hehe...

Anyway, I have a story to tell.

Yesterday night, I was having dinner with my sister at one of the cafe at Pandan Indah.
There was this family of four sat next to us. Suddenly I heard a loud BANG!
Guess what I saw! The father was punching the daughter! Yes, PUNCHING (tumbuk), not slapping or hitting. OMG!
That scene was so0 disturbing to me and I seriously wanted to slap the father! (But I couldnt do anything at that time because the father was so damn big size and I was afraid that he would punch me too!)
And the punching scene happened twice! TWICE! Two loud BANGS!
Then, the father walked away and the daughter was left there alone crying.

My sis and I couldnt stand it so we called and asked for family abuse (domestic violence) number
We decided to give it to the daughter but we didnt have enough courage to pass it to the daughter because we were scared that the father would catch us giving the number to the daughter.
So, we were smart enough to ask the waiter to pass it to her. Hehe. Kesian the waiter.

This is how we wrote on the tissue paper.

I hope we did the right thing.
Well, that was what we could do after all...

IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HOTLINE: 15999

Exam, sigh.

2009-04-16T09:37:00.000-07:00

1 paper down, 3 more to go!

Whenever I'm in exam period, I just cant stop eating. =(

True, it shows that I'm stressed out.

But I really hope that the stress will express through other channels like exercising! Sigh...

Proof of binge eating

Question?

2009-04-10T09:10:00.000-07:00

Is it true that the more you love a person, the more you will hate him or her?

Is it true that the more you care for the person, the more you will get pissed at him or her?

Sigh, I dont know.

I hope that the more I care or love that person, the more I wont be angry and upset with him or her.

I like it...

Unbelievable.

2009-04-05T08:10:00.000-07:00

Last week, I participated in Help's Trekathon and according to Di, it was just walking up and down hill. And you can run if you want to win the race which I think I wont and dont or actually cant do it.

So, I went to Bukit Gasing happily with my newly bought Psychology shirt that costed me freaking 25 bucks. Then, Di and I met another friend of us, Farid who was supposed to be the photographer of the event. Ended up taking most of our pictures and my super retarded poses. Feel free to check out the pictures on Facebook.

My very retarded pose -_-"
(Sorry that the pic is blurry and this is the biggest I can get)

Oh, another thing, we saw a girl wearing MAKEUP for TREKATHON! Seriously, I totally dont understand why was she wearing the make up and did she know that sweat can smudge her blue eyeliner and that will scare us!? Sigh...

Fine, then the race started. Not surprising that the whole race was super tiring for me, I was sweating like as if I had just finished bathing. Finally race ended and continued with prize giving ceremony. Miraculously, I got a medal, PPL! LOL.

Ok, I need to clarify, this medal is definitely not under individual category and is under Psychology team. There were two reasons why I got this medal.

First, thanks to Di because by right she was supposed to get the medal. It was because I was one place ahead of her and she was supposed to be in my place, just that she let me go in front of her when we were close to the finish line. Sigh, I feel bad. Sorry di, we will take turn to keep the medal k! Hehe...

Secondly, thanks to the organising team for giving out so many medals so that I managed to get it even with my low ranking.

Anyway, I was very excited to get the medal because the last time I got those sports medal was like 10 years ago! Can you see how Val is so not involved in sports and can u imagine how I felt to get the medal. LOL. I even thought of taking the medal out with me for dinner but totally refused by my family and they thought that I was crazy. Hehehe...

My Future Best Friend.

2009-03-06T07:27:00.000-08:00

I miss my Hi-Bye friends.

I miss my school friends.

I miss my close friends.

But the friend I will miss the most is my future best friend.

My future best friend is...

Chowie Chowie or Chowie Squared*

I really want to get a petdog. Despite the fact that he/she is super adorable and chubby, he/she is the companionship that I have always dreamt of.

He/she will be the first who greet me when I get home.

He/she will never leave me no matter what. If that happens, is never because of lack of love.

He/she will always be the first one who notice that I'm upset.

He/she will be the only person* I miss whenever I am away from home.

He/she will never fail to make me smile at any point of time.

**The reason why I put he/she cos I havent decided to get a dog or a bitch. Hehe...

Dreams.

2009-03-04T07:21:00.001-08:00

Recently, I had a very DISTURBING dream. And since it is DISTURBING, I am not planning to blurt it out as it is very DISTURBING. (Nah, just playing with the font colour and size. Not really that disturbing).

I realised dreams can be so real that I do not know whether those are my unconscious desire. But come to think about it, is my unconscious desire really my REAL desire? Because it can just happen to be conscious and unconscious, doesnt reflect what I really want.

Sometimes I just wish life to be simple. Yea, I know, people will say 'If you want life to be simple then just think simple, dont complicate your thoughts'. But right, ('BUT' is really part of complications) things can get very complicated.

For instance, I need to choose what to eat for lunch in HELP. Fast food? Mamak? Hawkers? Cafe? Of course if I am broke, I only have one choice, Mamak. But again, if I am not very broke in the beginning of the month, I need to figure out which one is less fattening, more healthy, nicer food, clean environment and the list goes on. You see, why cant I just pick what I want to eat right? Sigh, difficult life. LOL. Is just hard... So the best way to avoid all these hassles, ask your friends to pick! =)

Anyway, I dont know how I can relate my dream to food. So yea, if life is simpler, you have less disturbing dream. I would suggest this relationship as positive correlation, but again, correlation doesnt mean causation. =)

Fine, I have done crapping. And do you realise I have 2 blogs in a row? (Compensation for not blogging after CNY).

See ya PPL! Loves.

Updatesss.

2009-03-04T06:58:00.000-08:00

Sorry people, I have not been updating my blog. The reason being is not because I am busy, just that I am not in the mood to blog. Partially, I have nothing to write about, my life has been just college, home, and assignments.

Dah lah someone say my blog not worth for him to comment (Beh Hong Kheen!).
This is what he said "Val, your blog has nothing for me to comment, write-lah something more inspiring."
Erm, you see, I would want to write blogs that can inspire people to the core of their souls, and if they end up crying after reading my blog, seriously that will be superb to me.
Sigh, blame it on my uninspired life.

Some pula keep asking me to update while they just updated only a few posts. =p

In a way, I know you guys have good intentions. I can say, more to like missing me, right. Hehe.
But I really do appreciate it. Thanks people! =)

CNY Updates.

2009-02-10T06:08:00.000-08:00

Crappp, CNY is over, I cant get AngPaos anymore. =(

I have been using my AngPao money while I'm receiving them. Sadly, the output is more than the input. Haiz...

Anyway, I had fun during this year CNY compared to the previous years I spent in Melaka and JB. I guess probably all my cousins are grown up and we are able to share similar topics (or maybe I'm getting older, I want them to spare some of their young and furious stories to me so that I feel younger).

Stupid Lame Jokes.

2009-01-13T05:48:00.000-08:00

Normally people associate lame jokes with lame people.

And I actually love lame jokes and riddles.

It is definitely not because I'm lame or trying to be lame, is just that whenever my friends come up with some stupid lame riddles, I can never answer.

This shows that I'm actually not lame (AT ALL) and lameness is just not for Val (Okay, I can see some eyes rolling up already). Okay, whatever... =p

How about me listing 3 lame riddles and see how many people can answer them (I would say most of them, as I realised quite a number of them are quite lame. Hehe...).

1) There are 10 fishes in the aquarium. One day, 2 fishes died and why did the water level of the aquarium increase?

2) Why Tiger Woods so happening?

3) Why Batman always fly faster than Superman? (This answer was contributed by someone who is very lame, but really do make sense).

Probably, would be too easy for you all.

But... All the best, PPL! =)

The Effects.

2009-01-05T07:48:00.000-08:00

I hate the feeling that makes me scared.

I'm scared of being betrayed.

I'm scared of being suspicious.

I'm scared of being ignored.

I'm scared of being loved, ironically.

I'm scared of being happy, happiness that don't last.

I'm scared of being myself, sometimes.

And since...

Class starting tomorrow.

So...

Bye to HK TVB Drama, Hi to Lab Reports. =(

The source of my talents.

2009-01-01T12:37:00.000-08:00

Everyone has their own talent.

According to Didi & Jas (my bitch), I actually have none (they then later help to think a few like crapping and sleeping -_-") and not those books and cars types like them. (But I'm improving, I know who is Stephanie Meyer and what is Ducati!)

There are even some of them who think that I only read magazines. -_-" PPL, FYI, I dont really read magazines. If you were to ask me which celebrity is sent to jail or who is with who now, I really have no idea.

LUCKILY, I realise I get to discover my talents whenever I go to Elizabeth's house. HEHE!
Last year, I went to Eli's house and helped her packed before she left to Perth, I discovered my sewing talent! This year, I discovered my cooking talent! I made Rendang Sushi and Muffins!

Thanks to Eli for not making myself sound like a pathetic girl! Hehe...

So, PPL, I dont only read magazines, I can sew and cook too- should be a devoted mom and nice housewife... Should be...

Now is 5.14am, this post should end in the previous sentence. But, thanks to Wee Sern, he wants me to include him in this blog so that he could sleep. There you go! =)

The Suicidal Family

2008-12-29T07:47:00.000-08:00

I have a story to tell.

Last Sunday, I was at home with Mom and she accidentally cut herself. Normally she would not make a fuss over it. But that day, after she cut herself, she wrapped her finger in a very obvious way (so that I could see it).

Then, she went to the living room, sat on the floor and started talking to me. I was in the room doing my own stuff.

Mom : Val, I cut myself, so I cant do work. Go wash the clothes, sweep the floor, clean the toilet...
Val : Ma, lazy ar... (I was actually blogging. You see, I am a new blogger and I need inspirations, peace and definitely not distractions to finish up my blog).
Mom : Val, I cut myself, I cant do work. Go wash the clothes...
Mom : Val, I cut myself, I cant do work. Go wash...
Mom : Val, I cut myself, I cant do work... (x 10 times)

Do you know how annoying is that? -_-" My mom said that not in a angry way at all but annoying way.

I was damn pissed then I walked to the kitchen and took the knife. I went in front of my mom and said 'Why dont I cut myself, then both of us dont have to do work.'

My mom was then laughing like hell. Then, my dad and my sis came back (my mom was still laughing). My mom told them HAPPILY what happened and continued laughing.

My sis was so impressed and lifted her thumbs up and said 'WELL DONE' to me. -_-"

My dad sighed, 'What a family...'

Before and After Christmas

2008-12-26T23:24:00.000-08:00

First of all, I would want to say a million thanks to all the people who have been viewing and supporting my blog.
As I read the comments from the comment box, found out that Val can never be related to blogging. -_-"

I love Christmas. From christmas trees (BUT! Pavilion's christmas tree totally cant make it!) to christmas lights and not forgetting christmas presents have always been my favourite festive season!

I started my Christmas week with Psychology Prom Night in Sime Darby Convention Centre. The thing I enjoyed the most wasn't during the prom but after the event. Jas came all the way from her house to pick us up and waited us for 10 freaking MINUTES! I know I'm exaggerating but she deserves all the credits for sending us there, went home waited for our phone call to pick us up and most importantly she suggested all of these herself (Part of it, she wanna stop us from bugging her to go to the prom)!

These are the pictures we took after the prom party at Jas's house (Di, Jas, & I);

To be continue...
