I have longed missed my childhood times, the olden, adolescent days when I sit in front of the TV, having fun, laughing and learning real values through educational programs and such.
Few hours ago, I was suddenly reminded of the fun I had, singing along to Barney, so out of curiousity to experience my childhood all over again, I went to youtube.
And VOILA, I found a full episode of 'Barney and friends'!! My much-loved Purple Dinosaur friend, BJ, and Baby Bop ♥♥ Aww such treasures!!
It's a pity that kids in this generation will not be able to catch these awesome programs on TV anymore. Back when I was a kid, I remembered being entertained by Barney, Sailormoon, Powerpuff Girls, The Flintstones (aww, i miss Flintstones so much!!), and even Hello Kitty on TV!
Those were the sweet kiddy days. Without all these, I guess you won't have the Justina we have today *reels in the microphone* I would like to thank my parents for letting me be exposed to all these, and to my siblings for not fighting with me over the remote!
Hahaha go ahead and watch the episode above! I simply love Barney. Barney taught us the importance and the value of love and friendship, to be big-hearted and treat everyone with kindness always, and always know how important education is to us.
Heyy! Wow it has been more than 2 months since the last time I blogged. And almost a couple of things have happened since my last depressing post.
These past week, I have been filled with many ideas of issues in my life that I should blog about, but, of course, laziness prevail and I just let those blog titles sit, and drift away. But for now, I will just blog about things that have been buzzing around in my mind first.
Just as an update from the previous post, I did in fact get into Sheffield Hallam in the end.
And that is all thanks to all the people at SSH I won't want to go into details here, but I am just indebted to this bunch of people. Forever indebted, and thank you sooo much for fighting for me!
Looking through all the things that have happened throughout the years, not just in 2011 but throughout college life, I must say that the only highlights were the group of friends I met during Diploma, getting to know Sing Yee better during Advanced, experiencing internship at the environment of my dream job, and... well, coming across valuable people at the end of my Advanced Diploma who saw my value and helped me tremendously!
Well okay... Listing those out made me realise that indeed I have had my share of fortunes and misfortunes, and the misfortunes were nothing compared to the fortunes that I gained in this almost 4-years of study
One of the misfortunes has got to be the group of people who is determined to bring me down. Regardless of the fact that I never did anything wrong to them. These people are nevertheless termed as 'xiao ren' (小人)
FUNNY NOTE about this group of people, which I noticed at the end of it all, was that no matter how sleek and sneaky they plan their tricks and bad motives to be, people around can often see right through them.
For those of you who really knew me, I never have a liking towards explaining myself whenever I am wrongly accused. What I always thought was that, people who knew me, know the kind of person that I am. And if they really do, there is no need for me to explain anything at all.
Turns out that I really didn't need to do any explaining, the superior ones saw, and they knew. If before, I have always voiced my doubts about existence of God, the prevalence of these small people made me realise that God do exist and it is because of God seeing through everything, that made him send all valuable people in your life to help you through it all.
It is funny how life goes. Entering college, I thought of it as a transforming stage, and all will be well. Hence I cherish everyone I met along the way. The first friend I made in the course, the first few friends I made from other courses.
Up until now, I find it hard to believe, that the first friend I made, can be said to be capable of causing so much hate and boycotting between people. When a friend firstly pointed out her bad traits and what she is capable of, I still gave her chance; to see that she is indeed the good-natured first friend that I knew.
What could I have done, to derange her so much that she could go on to incite hate from others towards me? I was just being a person who took care of my grades and try to make my parents proud of me. Aren't we all? All of us are that way. Who isn't?
Lately I have come to inspecting this issue again, and retracing my footsteps to see how I could have offended this friend, or anyone in that matter. For that first friend, I thought; maybe that one time when I accidentally presented her points along with mine, during our dual group presentation.
Could that have been it? But for others, I really have no idea.
My other close friend from the course, when pouring out my heart to her, mentioned that she have indeed heard and witness the things said about me within the class, but those were just haters talk, and envy for a person is something that runs really strong. Other exerpts of the message I will not include, but it is good to know that there are people who knows me for who I am.
If I wanted to reveal bad information about that 'first friend', I could easily do so. During the times that she and I were close, I knew a lot about her, positive and negative. But it is a despicable thing to give an eye for an eye, and it degrades a person as well.
Until now, I still hoped she isn't the hateful, conspiring person that everyone know saw her to be, and that she is just misunderstood. But highly unlikely now.
Well I think that was long enough a space contributed for that blah. I'm looking forward to starting a new chapter of studies at Sheffield, meeting new friends and learning new things.
Life has so much to offer, no matter which step you take, it's down to what you make out of life and the happiness that you feel at the end of the day.
Hence, to my buddies who are going separate ways, I'll always miss you guys. We will do great for our future. Cheers to what awaits us at the near-future!
I will blog soon about something that is less self-centred. Haha chaoz!
Seems like for now, everytime that i update my blog, it's definitely after something drastic/major has happened. It's no longer that i update just for the sake of marking the activities of my daily life.
Well i know i mentioned about an update titled 'Reflections', but i'm not really in the mood to express myself now. Will just put that on hold till i'm feeling better?
Just came here to scribble some things before bed. I've been depressed since i found out for sure that my application to Sheffield Hallam Uni has been rejected. It's the only one that i hoped for but now it seems like i'm left with no other choice.
My bestpren Hannah Gan came back to Malaysia And I had the honour to meet her twice in her 10days back here. Sounds like too few a meet-up? It really is, and eventhough her flight back to Aussie is tomorrow, I'm already missing her now
Some of the things we ate in the first outing (Shopping & Sakae Sushi at Times Square), and what we did in the second one (Karaoke and drinks at Neway, 1U)
Sakae Sushi now uses iPad for its menu listing and ordering. So high tech, it caught us off guard!
I have been craving for this for soooo long.
Didn't know that Hannah loved it too. Indeed my gemini half ♥
Special of the month! We decided to give this a try.
(Although i think it looks pretty weird and childish at first )
Second outing - Karaoke with Elbe and Hannah at Neway, 1U. 11pm until 3am
The three of us took our dinner at Chilli's (well, actually only Elbe and i ate, Hannah already took her dinner beforehand, because i was extremely late in meeting them - hair perming session for both mum & i ran late. So sorry to keep both of them waiting)
Originally the plan was to sing until 1am only, because Hannah and I were somewhat wiped out from the day already, but we went on to sing until 3am.
By that time, we were soooo blurry eyed and ready to slip into eternal coma, but i think we wanted to make good use of our time together? That, and Elbe was really enjoying her session too much to let us go too. Hehehe
Anyways, we had real good fun singing OUT LOUD I finally got my Carlsberg, and i had good company. Awesome times... Until we kong-ed out at 1am
Proof that we passed out at 1am. (okay, partially passed out ) We were in a zonked out state that we were saying stuff like "I wanna sleep with LeeHom" at the SAME TIME! And we both went "Whoaaa..." when we saw someone cute in the list of karaoke songs (forgotten who we whoa-ed hahahaa)
The three of us ♥ I'm still the same ol' superstituous chinese girl. Was trying to achieve the triangle effect because i believed the 3-person-in-a-picture myth. And i was countering it.
Hannah will be going back to Australia tomorrow, and I am already missing her now. It's hard to find real friends now, and throughout all the obstacles that I've been through, I am extremely sure of who my real friends are. Although I have already known for a long time that the girl up here is my best bud
Friends part ways every now and then, and eventhough distance might mark us apart, or that we might not be able to see each other online often, I hope we stay close forever.
To Hannah: Don't you ever be a stranger with me! Update me WHENEVER anything happens and I don't want to only find out about things a year after over a Sushi/Asian meal session! Love you sweetheart and have a safe flight
♦ Another blog on 'Reflections' will be up real soon ♦
Hey hey heyy! It has been AGES since I last updated my blog
Did any of you guys missed me at all? Well one thing's for sure, most probably there's no 'guys' here, since most of my blog readers have probably ran away for my lack of updates.
To give a glimpse of what happened in between my last update and this, I've listed down outdated along with recent happenings down below:
1. My house was broken into, last 28th April. I lost my Baby Acer (laptop) along with all internship pictures and my international passport. Karma be upon you, robbers!
2. I concluded my first ever internship experience
3. I continued my second year of Advanced Diploma. (Geez its stressful and the workload is INSANE!!!)
4. Had my first ever birthday party with a small group of friends
5. Adopted a wild bunny (now named Brandy)
6. Learned how to use an audio editing software FOR THE FIRST TIME
7. Had a great meet-up with the awesome Pinkies (although there wasn't enough time for real catching up)
8. Got attacked by my own bunny
Those life happenings have been arranged chronologically, and to those who are reading, if you wished to know more, you know how to reach me Either leave a message in the chatbox towards your right, or leave a comment at the end of this post.
This post is meant to record memories on my part, since memories seem to slip away pretty easily now, on account of several things happening at once. Furthermore, I don't mean to blog this for my fellow readers, because let's face it; my readers are probably gone by now?
Anyways, life along the Advanced Diploma line has been horrible. This time 'round, the assignments are more than ever, totaling up to more than 10 tasks. It has gotten so insane that my classmates and i don't even have time to follow up on reading tasks assigned by our lecturers.
Whenever lecturers asked if we have done the reading for their classes, we can only helplessly admit that we have not. Honesty is the best policy, no?
And alright, that evidently shows that we did not fulfill our responsibilities as a student, but seriously, i personally feel that it takes a lot to re-adjust, from the transition of working life (i.e, internship) towards the stressful college life with a large loadsome of work.
Sigh.
The only thing that I am looking forward to now, is the 3-months of degree program in Liverpool. However even this aspect seem to be slipping away from my grasp now. The reason why I'm saying this is because of my college's upgrading policies.
That upgrading policy is an advancement, where my college might acquire the status of a 'University College' soon. If this advancement is approved, students undertaking Advanced Diploma will not have to further their studies in Liverpool to receive a Degree; they can automatically continue a semester in the same college and be promoted a Degree.
Undoubtedly that is an awesome alternative for students who could not afford the RM 30,000 required for the Degree program in Liverpool, I myself am not sure if I can gather that much money for the 3-months program, but all the while even from the MOMENT that we students registered for Advanced Diploma, we had the mindset that we are doing this because of the UK Degree Certificate that we will obtain in the end.
If TAR College is promoted to a 'University College', will the Certificate be equivalent to a UK Degree? Someone would have to update me on this, since I have not clicked the link to the news yet.
It really sucks, since I have been longing for great days in UK ever since the start of Advanced Diploma. I don't want to complete my studies in Malaysia alone. Of course, an overseas degree do not guarantee success in career, I will just have to look at my brother to know that a local uni certificate is good enough.
I just feel misleaded in this. TAR College seriously sucks.
Sigh, enough with the miserable topic, here are some pictures from Daniel's birthday gathering last 1st July It was a fun, stress-relieving, incredible event. Wherever you look, you can find happy faces of old friends joking and catching up with each other. Daniel was the medium that connect us together, and we love him deeply for it.
Its great that he remained the same incredible self. ♥ First up, look at this video of Daniel playing a tune from his old album, 'Were you happy on your birthday' (Ni de sheng ri kuai le ma) Note 0:13 part of the video; Daniel seemed touched when we sang him the song. Awww!
I recorded a video of my own, where he grinned cheekily and when he ended the strumming, he wiped his eyes with his hand. Was he tearing up emotionally? Aww Will be uploading that video of mine at a later date, since this is for my own memory and noone is requesting for it yet
Here are some pictures of the night :
Daniel and I ♥ He came nearer to peek at my camera after this shot, wanting to see if the picture turned out good. Aww I love you, boy I hope he won't get to read this, because his shoulders felt really safe, and once i hugged him, i didn't want to let go. LOL
Joanna jie and I! She's a great company, had countless laugh because of her comedic acts. During the dinner gathering, she chose a seat so strategic that she can stare at Daniel as if watching a movie. When I joined her, she chased me away, saying if the three of us sat together (Maggie was already sitting beside her), it will look extremely obvious. HAHAHAA! Wonder if Dan will think that we're maniacs, laughing so loudly during the night
Me with Aunty Bagus. The life of every party, I presume. Funky and forever young!
Deary Evelyn Hope we get to catch up real soon, babe! She chose such a great spot to stand during the group picture (look below and you'll see what i mean )
Us with Daniel dearest We took this picture because we were experimenting on Daniel. Well, I started a statement, and Joanna wanted to test if I was right. Turns out my statement was wrong. Still think that it's probable though. True in some contexts only! Alright, insider joke
Tracy sweetie and i
One of the group pictures taken that night. Blogging about this made me miss this so freaking much. I miss Pinkies and I miss Daniel too!
Please click my youtube channel for videos of Daniel's performance that night. (In case there's anyone reading this) Till the next update, good night!
And I had the honour to meet her twice in her 10days back here. Sounds like too few a meet-up? It really is, and eventhough her flight back to Aussie is tomorrow, I'm already missing her now 
So sorry to keep both of them waiting)
