Complaints VS Gratitude

(I find this illustration very true)

I believe that most of you who are reading this post now is lucky and well off enough to have access to a computer, nonetheless the internet.

I realize that we, especially people in our generation have lost the simplicity of life, and we no longer find gratitude in most things we are blessed with.

For instance, I too am equally guilty of complaining whenever dinner is not up to what I wished for not realizing how many kids are starving around the world. Besides that, I have been complaining about exams and the stress that comes along. I just spend so much time complaining and complaining without using the time to sit down, reflect and realize how lucky am I to be able to study in a university doing the course I want to.. A dad and mum to ring up everyday and not have to worry about my next meal.. Or shelter.. Or clothes to wear.. Or even a nice comfy toilet to use .. haha

Many people these days tend to take for granted the fact that they have food to eat everyday (delicious meals, most of the time), a home to live in, education at the palm of their hands.. and even luxuries here and there, may it be from something small like having a cup of coffee to something big like getting a new cellphone .. etc.. etc..

I have complained for too long.. It's time I show some gratitude and thank God for all my blessings.

Like in the Bible (Luke 17:11- about the 10 Lepers)..

STATISTICS

Done it before in A Levels..

Was pretty happy with this paper all semester..... until... NOW when I have to sit for the test.. and and and.. I have been happily procrastinating.

It's not all like A Levels and a few new chapters are introduced in this paper and I'm currently juggling with the numbers (like the man in the picture) . HAH.

I have till thursday. Him nae!! lol

Exams are so damn FUN

Does wrapping up a semester sounds like fun?? Definitely, but there's the darker side too.

EXAMS.

Yeaps. For everyone who is as last minute as i am, you probably can feel my pain. Lol.

4 external exams within 7 days is the BEST definition of fun.

Psychology, then Statistics and both Accounting and Management on the same day. Fingers crossed! XX

Celine Dion..

I just loveee her music! She's just simply awesome.

I would vote her as one of the best -love song- singers of all time..

I grew up listening to her music.. Starting from one of her first hits 'My Heart Will Go On'..

Oh .. So romantic..

All her songs just brings about a certain kinda ambience where you just want to fall in love..

And live your life according to her song.. Haha..

I just stumbled across one of her songs.. And I fell in love with it..

'When I need you'..

Youtube it! heheh..

Time flies

Time really flies.

I can't believe it. Just like a blink of an eye and it's end of the semester already?

It seems like merely yesterday I met another crazy amy (think I'm crazy? you haven't seen this one yet).. along with Felicia.. Teresa.. Annie.. Calvin.. and the list goes on * yes, i'm blessed with many lovelies <3

Napier was fun too. I had really awesomely weird and crazy moments there with Mandy. For example, locking myself inside the toilet? Wth, so exciting* Temata Peak.. National Aquarium and Honey Farm. Lovely..

Can't wait for this semester to end to go back home to Malaysia .. Yet not looking forward to the part where the exchange students are going home (T.T).. I'll miss them all during the summer!

On the plus side, we're going to be camping together at the study area to study HARD OUT for our finals which is just round the corner *hehe*.. Therefore, we'll be spending ample time together..

most of all.. I'll miss our noodle sessions (sighs)..

My food list ~

Roti Canai : OMG. I miss my late night supper sessions with Wendy eating roti canai.

This is my staple. Char Kuey Teow. Me and Yuen Yu used to try different stalls in Penang, and actually rate them. HAHA.
LAKSA!
Nasi Lemakkk. ps: Lemak means FAT. or smth like tht.
Curry mee. Has oil and coconut milk inside. sounds good right? kills your arteries :p
Har MEE. (Prawn noodles).

It seems like forever since I last ate something very Malaysian and it's been bugging me.

I love Malaysian food. Unhealthy as it sounds, I don't care :p

Can't wait for November. Who wana go on a food spree with me?

*so that I wont feel so guilty eating alone and growing fat ALONE*

Reminisce..

I can't help myself..

I can't help myself from reminiscing..

I can't help myself from reminiscing about you..

I can't help myself from reminiscing about you and me..

Old memories, old times.. Remains as fresh and as vivid as ever.

Though I wish sometimes, it wasn't that vivid. 

Cause I only wish to turn back time..

And live that vivid memory again, just once more (:

I can't believe...

I can't believe I'm actually blogging RIGHT after finishing the Methods section in my lab report. It's as though I'm not sick of writing yet. Lol.

I've been really busy lately, since now is exam and assignment season. Just can't wait for it all to be over. Then I'm free! <3

Harry Potter fever~

Ironic isn't it? How when Harry Potter was the 'thing', I somehow payed no attention to the book or the movie. I remember lying down on Sui Aing's bed like few years ago staring blankly into her TV screen while everyone else enjoyed the movie, squealing whenever Harry makes an appearance(i think it's Harry). It was either the Philosophers Stone or Chambers of Secret..

It was not till the beginning of the year that I had the Harry Potter fever, both literally and metaphorically.
Literally cause I was reading the books frantically trying to finish it ASAP to find out what happen to Harry and his friends next till I got a fever due to perhaps lack of sleep.
To say I went a little crazy would be an understatement. Lets just say that now, I have watched the movies 1-5 at least twice, and same goes for the book. Each of them, I was equally absorbed in the story line.

J.K Rowling sure knows how to get her readers. Throughout the whole series, I realized that the main theme of this book has got to be friendship, sincerity and love(not the romantic kind). The romantic kind of love definitely appears in the book but it's not the main part of the book, though I have to say the growing romance between Ron and Hermoine is simply adorable!

The Philosophers Stone movie. Honestly, the movie was quite badly done but it's good enough to make a freak like me enjoy it. Lol.




Hermoine is really cute, especially in the first book when she places her hands up frantically everytime asked an academic question. The lil miss know it all.

Heart of the Matter - India Arie.

And I thought of all the bad luck,
And all the struggles we went through
How I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?

I've been learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning them again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work they put between us,
You know it doesn't keep us warm

I've been trying to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
The more I know, the less I understand
And all the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my heart is so shattered
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

All the people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; cause life goes on
You keep carryin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside

I want a happily everafter
And my heart is so shattered
But I know it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
Because the flesh gets weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if you don't love me anymore
Even if you don't love me anymore

....

Yup..
