Well i'm been under some peer pressure to revive my online diary that's so far consists only of craps! It seems that my blog has been left empty my entire birthday month. Maybe some pictures will be up soon when I get too bored of law.
A quest to search for my utmost passion .

Nikko Hotel
The walkway

And apparently i look as though i am 20 years old!!! (some even mentioned 23 =.=)
Pak Lah is somewhere in front i guess.... PS: his speech was the 'best' as he'd 'so happen' forgotten bout it...
And he was grilled too !!
On the whole the event was awesome. Food was ok, since its free, so i guess its justifiable. (Accountants..... LOL ) Met a couple of new friends all dispersed round the world too and it was just great. Haha. I feel really like a new person after the event... although this may sound dramatic but i just dunno how else to put it.
Try looking for me :P ! Hint: my eyes were closed.....

As usual i have been neglecting my blog and there were even apparently cobwebs all round it. So glad to say i am back... maybe for a short period maybe long, who knows?
Classes started like 3 weeks back and i'm badly in need of help now. Its not that i'm busy with classes and all(in fact i'm quite free :D ) It is just that there is nothing to push me through...
Hmm well with a total of 3 subjects this sem, it all seems quite ok.. but already law is killing me. The classes are not bad but once the textbook is opened, you'll be sleeping after 2 lines. =.= even so, in just 3 weeks i am SUPPOSED to have covered 50 pages of the text book with maybe a trillion case laws and a gazillion sections.(Have I? Well... only someone up there knows the answer :D)
Costing seems fine but alas... I am targeted (I wonder why...?) I haven't even touched the textbook so i cannot comment anything bout it yet... the textbook looks cartoonic(if there is such a word) and cheap though...so it isnt my fault :D !! Typical Sunway...
Tax is great only on the surface =D. Seems to really have lost touch of it even with only 3 weeks into classes. T9 seems to be so straight forward now. Haha. Lots of laws as usual. Maybe a couple of million of sections; but i guess i can take it(so far)
The only thing that seems to be interesing now is frisbee. With a competition tomorrow, and just after a buffet dinner, i'm just hoping that i don't vommit tomorrow. (finger's crossed =P) Well, someone up there has always been looking after me. He'll be there tomorrow :D.
A few good quotes i have heard recently:
~ Sometimes the truth isn't just enough. People deserve more than the truth. They deserve to have their faith rewarded...
~ There is no defeat in death; victory comes into vending what we know is right while we still live..
Sounds familiar? :D
Anyways just a shout out to everyone everywhere: All the best and take care =)
Ciaoz!!!

Ok what i need now is not lots of luck. I desperately need someone to slice my brain open, and insert a hard drive...err wait i think a M2 memory stick will be enough. It MUST be filled with audit, tax and costing notes. The surgeon would then insert a card reader together with it into my brain and connect it to my nervous system so i can write everything and anything i need during the exam without me realizing. I don't even need to understand.
IF ANYONE OUT THERE IS READING AND KNOWS HOW TO DO SO, THIS PLEASE CONTACT ME!!
right, i'm waffling again. I NEED TO STOP CRAPPING!!! CRAP

Well got to do some thinking and just noticed that people(including myself) are not as easy going or jolly as it seems... There will surely be times, let it be any relationships where conflicts (or at least the slightest bit of anger/the irritated feeling) will definitely occur. And that's when everything gets shitty. No one can be blamed. Be it anyone's fault. The worst part is that to you it'll never seem the same again. Old memories are bound to bounce back whether a not you want it...
Even after apologising and the 2 parties stating that they have let go, there is still a part of them not doing so. Something is always bugging inside and you'll tend to be wary of the person. You'll then tend to be paranoid and it won't be as usual anymore. You just can't help it! Well is it worth it? No of course not... but trying to let go is not such an easy matter too. In front of others, you pretend you have but you have yourself to answer to in the end. Why? Well the only reason i can put it is that there's still some part in me that still care and fear of the incident. I guess that the best solution is to just let time heal all the hauntings of the past...
There's a saying, "Sometimes people do terrible things but that doesn't mean they are terrible people." I know that...but it is not that easy to apply as well.
PS: Just felt like penning this down. Don't exactly get to know the reason. Maybe its just me?

Well one week has gone by and I'm in malacca. Audit book's beside me and not even giving a glance to it...(as usual)
Frisbee competition is on now in UM and i guess they won 2 games d? =) Congrats people.
Hmm just thought of some random quotes when i was emo-ing. Too bored i guess..
Here goes..
"The day i stop thinking of you is the day my soul is ripped apart and ceases to exist"
"The definition of true love is the unification of 2 souls till eternity"
"Life? A journey till death?"
"Hatred will only exist when there's love...even without hatred there won't be love"
"People are always offended with the smallest things in life"
"A small gesture will put a priceless smile on those needing it"
OK... All of these are RANDOM... and there's nothing or no one related to it..
Cheers!

Haha thanks for the comments and of course the backup =)
Anyway... life hasn't been good lately.... People always tell me not to be burdened by all the unhappy stuffs in life...but is it that easy? just letting go like that? .... I dunno, maybe i've been pulled down by too many things or is it just me? sigh.... can exactly put everything down here but maybe its just time for me to change? If so how? Its just that i feel so weird now... Let time heal? Hopefully...sorry people if i've annoyed any of you in anyway or whatsoever anytime.... Ciao...
