Year 2007 in recap: I hit off this year with a fright, and ended this year with high fever…. LOL…. no doubts there are LOTS of ups and down this year; from major heart break to resettling, but yet i’m here to say:” I’M ALIVE!!!!!”
Oh well, i suppose every year end one will (usually) sit down and think, and reflect upon themselves, whether they’ve accomplished much during this particular year, or are there any rooms for improvement. So, this post, i will just pour my heart out, jot down whatever my fingers lead me to type….
So some may know that this year had been a rough year for me. A lot of growing up process for me. It was like taking a “grow up in a minute” crash course, and that at times i really do feel suffocated. And me, being the melodramatic self, will at (lots of) times whine and complain that life hasn’t been fair, and yada yada…. but really, what just happened to me is that i was unable to accept the fact that my plans for the near future was shattered because of one mishap.
so, to skip all those minute details and just jump to one big summary, i wasn’t always appreciative of what i had. i was (and sometimes still am) rather critical about certain things. i can’t help but hoard on other’s tiny little flaws and in the end missed out the whole beautiful picture. but somehow, i had learnt to count my blessings via the hard way. it was definitely late for certain situation when i had finally learnt, but still better late than never.
and indeed, this year, 2007, is a rocky year for me. It is rockier than the Rocky Mountains, and it really is the coarsest sandpaper that rubs me and smoothen me…. i suppose through my misfortune this year, i had learn to be more appreciative of others, especially those that are dear to me and whom i care tremendously…. and i sincerely hope that as the years go by, i will be able to turn over a new leaf, to be more appreciative and less critical
to conclude, my new year resolution for 2008 will be to enjoy my every minute with family and friends, and to smile daily 
cheerios, guys & gals, and HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008!!!!
UPDATE update UPDATE update……
Let’s do things chronologically, shall we??? Lots to tell you all, and bear with me, i predict this to be a LLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG post…..
okay, where shall i begin? what about on Christmas day? It’s a good day, that day, performed together with cellgroup members on that day itself. I played the piano and they sang “He Came in Love”. An old old hymn, which is just pure lovely. The lyrics reflects the meaning of Christmas, that Jesus was sent down to earth because God so loved us…
then Christmas night we have a small makan… and we went over to Peel Road to buy take out food — satay, hokkien mee and fried rice. We literally have to battle over flood water just to buy the satay, and waited for more than 35 minutes for the hokkien mee… but oh boy, the food’s worth the trouble though…..
BUT…. it wasn’t so worth while after all, if you know that you will be sick for the next few days… so on boxing day, it’s back to work day… i started having little coughs here and there, and after taking oats for breakfast, i puked….. knowing something ain’t all that right, i tried to be really careful and watchful of what i ate…. but to no avail, i threw up four times and was feeling crappy. so at night, i opt for a visit to the doctor’s. and dear doctor told me he suspected me of dengue fever…. which doubtlessly freaked me out. fever was high, 38.8 degree celcius, and took the next day off.
but day 2 of fever, fever subsided initially, but had nose bled, so went back to the doctor’s office and had my blood tested, and test result indicated normality, no dengue. BUT, doctor did add on that if my fever persisted any longer, i shall return and check for dengue (oh dengue again… yikes), so day 2’s night was okay, body temperature went back down to normal, but middle of the night body temp hiked up to 38.3 again.
and it was day 3’s morning that i (after much persuasion) decided to drop by a hospital. Dad’s friend was kind enough to drive me all the way to Bangsar’s Pantai Medical Centre (there’s one near Cheras, but somehow she decided to drive me over to Bangsar), and there, the doctor (yet again) draw blood and tested for dengue, and had me slept on the hospital bed for i don’t know how long. but in the end, all it was was just some bacterial infection.
paid for my fees and was discharged…… but the past 3 days was terrible….. i was sicker than a dog…. and feel like screaming, and sad thing is all through these suffering i don’t even drop a pound 
hahaha….
anyways, i am feeling much better now, though i still yet to recover my voice… still sounded like a duck with very quacky voice now… and gotta watch what i eat…. other than that, i’m pretty ok…. still weak physically, but praise God for His healing.
and for all who had been praying for me, THANK YOU!!! and for those who had been so caring and loving and constantly taking care of me, thank you too. and thanks to all my housemates who had been cooking porridge and making sure that I am well taken care of. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!
(Not so) breaking news:
According to a CNN report (link here) way back in the year 2003, it was discovered that performing fellatio can actually decrease the risk of breast cancer in women……
err….. this is a shocker to me… LOL… who will relate fellatio and breast cancer?? but, i supposed this act is limited to married couples, as quoted below:
“Only with regular occurance will your chances be reduced, so I encourage all
women out there to make fellatio an important part of their daily routine,” said
Dr. Helena Shifteer, one of the researchers at the University. “Since the
emergence of the research, I try to fellate at least once every other night to
reduce my chances.”
so singles like me will have to deal with the risk of breast cancer or at least find my way to combat it…. LOLs….
Dear all,
Kindly read the below message. Not sure how true it is, but it’s better safe than sorry. Scams going around and be EXTRA alert!! Note: Insert is too lengthy for me to edit
It happened around 11:25 am on 19th October 2007. When i was busy with
work, a friend suddenly ‘IM’ed me using MSN messenger. She used to be my roomate and i am very close to her. So, she asked if i could log in to maybank2u
account because she couldn’t. As I’ve tried, i could log in. She asked me for a
favor saying that she owed a friend money and been delaying him very long and
its kind of urgent to return the money, and asked if i could help her to
transfer money to her friend first and saying that she’ll definitely bank in the
money back to me after work that day.The amount she asked was initially RM800, but since i do not
have that much money in that bank account, she told me to wait as she will
ask her friend if its okay paying him RM400 first. So, sensing some kind of
emergency here, i without any hesitation (this friend once asked me to lend
money to her the same way), banked in the amount to the bank account she gave
me. The account number is 1111-1428-6194 and the owner’s name is KEW MIN TECK.Well, at the end of the day, after working hour, i am still yet to receive any
call from my friend regarding the money. So, i smsed her regarding the money.
She was shocked about it and asked if she still owe me money. (We stayed
together for the past few months, so, sometimes she owes me money for bills…)
So, with the thought that she forgot bout it, i mentioned to her that she asked
for my help to transfer RM400 to her friend first. With that, she’s even more
surprised and gave me a call. When i told her about it, she said it must be her
email account being hacked (FYI – MSN uses email account to login) because she
received an SMS from an unknown number saying that he’s matthew and he hacked
her email and asked her if she wants him to restore for her. This guy’s number
is 012-2141405 which is a prepaid number.I was so shocked with the news and immediately went to Maybank to see if the transfer could be stopped. It was already 7:20pm at that time, offices already closed down. I’ve called the maybank hotline and they asked me to make a police report and bring back to Maybank tomorrow. So, i quickly went to the nearest police station and make a report believing that with the guy’s bank account number and name, police force could at least track him down or get evidence on him for the crime he’s committing. I told my friend to do the same thing and tell her to sms all her friends
regarding her account being hacked.At the police station, there’s this policewoman at the counter. She asked me where did i do the transaction and i told her at my office. she told me that i must go to another police station to make the report as that is not under their district. I was like ‘huh?’ However, i managed to make a police report. That policewoman did not even listen properly to the incident i was telling and she started to type on her own. Since she did not attentively listen to what i was saying, she got things wrong and asked us to write the story down.
I was lucky that i got a friend to accompany me to the police station. (i don’t even know where’s the police station is… i’m a KL ppl in Penang now). Even though I’ve made a police report, the case wasn’t open. To no avail, nothing has been done. The policewoman then called another officer (it seems that this officer has the higher rank) and he talked to me. I was asked by him ‘why do i need the police report’, the reason of getting a police report? (is that suppose to be a question? i wouldn’t have trouble myself to lodge a report if i find it not necessary). By telling him that at least could get details on the guy from the bank, he told me to go to Maybank and get the guy’s particulars and hopefully i could talk to that guy and it’ll be good if he returns the money else, i’ll need to treat it as a wrong investment. (wrong investment!!???) So, particularly, nothing has been done.
The next amusing thing about this is that, i went to Maybank as told by the officer the next day along with the police report and hope that i could get details on that
guy. And the only thing that i found out is that they need an officer/personel to come along only authorised to view the details! (omg! how come no one told me bout it at the police station?) The guy in may bank was very helpful. He managed to help me check (i got a peep on it) about that hacker’s bank account. To my surprise, there are alot of transcation to this guy account! Besides mine at 11.25am, at 11.30am there’s another transaction (RM620) transfered to his account. There are several more. And at that moment, his account only left RM146! Doesn’t it obvious that this guy is vigorously cheating others by hacking into other people’s account? Since, nothing can be done without an officer/personel, with much despair i decided to go home. Just on the way back, i received a call from a friend from KL stating that the hacker the friend’s email account to online again and now talking to him. That hacker uses the same tactic to him asking for help to transfer money using may bank2u. I asked my
friend to entertain him to see if it is the same guy,same bank account number.So, when i reached home. I tried to talk to that guy again. He’s using the same
conversation again! (omg! doesn’t he remember that he has already conned me?) by
making it sounds like i’m talking to my friend, i talked to him again. So, as predicted. He asked the same question again and the whole lot conversations were the same. And without any surprise, the name and the bank account number is the same! So, i called the police station where i make a report yesterday to tell them about it. The policeman who picked up the phone was so rude. Then, i told him bout the incident and my report number and told him that this guy is in action again. And yet, another disappointment. The policeman said that there’s nothing he could do as he can’t get out of the police station and he then gave me a hp number to call. I called that officer who’s responsible for this kind of cases but only got ‘i’m busy at the moment. i’m taking some statement here’ as the answer.My KL friend who got the whole conversation which of course, the same account number and the same name – went to make a police report and requested to open up a case for this. After waiting for 4 hours at the police station and listening to the policemen saying that there’s nothing they can do, there’s no evidence and a more ridiculous question thrown to my friend is “Berapa Ribu kau hilang?” (how many thousands you have lost?) Isn’t it the police’s responsibility to track this fella down? And why am i the one suppose to get the particulars from Maybank? Doesn’t he knows that we’re not authorise to do any checking on people’s particulars unless there’s an officer/personel together with the police report only could do that? Why am i not told about it when i’m at the police station lodging the report? And isn’t it the job of the police to get evidences on this guy who is doing the crime? It doesn’t matter on how much we got cheated, it is still our money and furthermore, what if that i’m not the only person being conned here? Imagine, each person he conned RM400, so if he managed to con 10 people, that would make it RM 4000 per day! I am seriuosly being dissappointed with the act of the police force. It’s as if they
are imaginary since they claimed that they could do nothing about it. And these
kind of crimes will continue and it’ll be even worse as there’s no action being
taken and these culprits will happily commit these crimes without being afraid of
getting caught.So, people! What you can do now is be more extra careful when you’re dealing with your money. Always verify with the people you’re sending money to, no matter how close he/she to you. And don’t assume that your friend’s/family’s email account is not being hacked!
p/s: this is part of the conversation I got (the day after when he’s trying to con me again) And I got to know from may bank that he’s account is from kuching, Sarawak .

and obviously using a mere camera phone, the pictures do no justice to the immense beauty of KL view… never knew K.L could be this beautiful at night….. and this is definitely a great spot for a romantic dinner for couples 
What do you do when you’re usually bored and have nothing to do whilst waiting for you ride?? Here’s a suggestion: Go try on every freaking piece of garment they have in a boutique
At least that’s what I did last Friday at Berjaya Times Square. Tried on four dresses, bought none of them.. 
so now, presenting Dress A:
And dress B:
Dress C:
And dress D:
There’s no doubt that I spent a LLLLLLLOOOOOOONNNNNGGGGGGGGG time in the fitting room trying these few pieces….. but picture taking does takes up time for amateur like me 
And here’s a cute video of pandas…
hmm.. i never thought of this, but just found out from a friend that UAE actually snowed!!!! It was years ago (back in 2004 – link here), and obviously i had no idea bout it till now… but the thought of it, snow in UAE…. and usually temperature sky rocket beyond human toleration (at least for me)during summer in UAE… isn’t it amazing??
now it just get me thinking…. maybe it’ll snow in Malaysia too? will i be happier and probably love this land a bit more?? Maybe not, but what’s not to like bout snow?? i love the fluffy snow…. and snow storms…. LOL…… but that’s the past now… or is it something for me to look forward to?? nevermind. it worked both ways.
now, where am i? oh yes. get back to work…. sighs..
it appears that i had indirectly make this space into a space for me to literally vent my frustration. seems that a lot of negativity had been thrown into this space (maybe this is why i chose a dark background color)… nevertheless, it does not matter.
no… sometimes things don’t matter, trivial matters that means literally nothing…. hmm… what am i writing now?? more jiberish..
but anyhow…. am really emo now…. blame PMS i would say, but it’s no doubt that sometimes one just cannot help feel frustrated and all blue…..
today is supposed to be a great day. had lunch with someone whom i do care immensely about, and had had a great time….. the 3 hours was just fantastic…..
but when i was home, there’s the feeling of loneliness creeping up my spine, and gave me a shiver….. it was then that i broke into tears….. arrgh!! i felt so helpless… i am helpless….. and then i brood over the fact that my certain prayers wasn’t answered…. and then i prayed more, which really is asking God why is my prayer not answered, but then of course, as always, He kept quiet and let me cry my lungs out……
then i don’t feel any better. i felt sad. i mean i am emo at this very moment, still recovering from tears, typing on my housemates’ computer, and have another housemate in the living room… owh!!! dignity!! no, i ain’t crying now. eyes red, yes, but tears, no, not at this moment.
but yet, i felt unsatisfied. deep down, i feel that my prayer indeed will be answered. but, the question is WHEN?? i know, i heard many times, and it’s true that God do things in His own ways and timing… but i don’t know… felt faithless now. and i loath this feeling…. distasteful.. *sighs*
so, i suppose besides PMS, this is really where all my problems are rooted: my prayer!! LOL…. (no, not exactly laughing. how can you laugh when you’re still mourning?) but anyways….. i had been praying for this little thing to happen, and months ago i did receive signs that it will happen in due time, just don’t know when is the due time…. and then it seems that whatever i had prayed, there isn’t any results, and i got FRUSRTARED. superly duper frustrated and down hearted… then i pray again to God, quoting the scriptures and signs that He had shown me, and asking Him, O God my Lord, when will You do what You’ve promised?
When? i don’t know, but i wonder, if i persist in praying for that item, and i persisted and persisted, will i actually touch God’s heart and consequently He will let my prayered be answered? I wonder…..
