' 如果你快乐不是为我， 会不会放手其实才是拥有'

The Lake House

I watched this film on a Sunday night. After dinner. When I've got nothing to do.
Always wanted to watch this film, cause I thought the plot is interesting. It was a film on screen sometime around 2006. But instead, I watched it on 2008. 2 years later. And that made a total difference. It was beyond my expectation. My emotion literally soared with the storyline. From sad, to happy, to warm, to touching, to nervous, to worry, to excited.....

And amazing enough, in the movie, Keanu Reeves lives in the realm of 2004, and Sandra Bullock in year 2006. 2 years apart. and even 2 years apart, they composed a romantic, touching and memorable love story.

Never really thought that I am the sort of romantic-story lover. But this is a great movie. Worth watching, even for the second time. Love it, simply.

Sometimes, it takes more than just a feeling to love. It takes effort, and it takes courage and it takes determination. What would you do when you really love a person, that you might have not even met before? Would you wait for that person? Would you wait for him or her for 2 years? Would you?

I Thought

I thought it matters to me.
At least I thought I should be informed.
But then apparently it doesn't matter to them whether I know it or not.
I thought, I thought, I thought...
It's all in my mind.
When all the chaos came to an end,
Nothing matters to them nor me....

Lee Chong Wei, Our Hero

Ok, first of all I've gotta say that I'm happy enough and cool enough for a Silver medal for Malaysia. A hip hip hooray for that!!!! Way to go Lee Chong Wei!
Anyway, the final match was a lil surprising but still, I believe he did his best. There're simply too many factors to be considered in such a grand match. He still rox and he'll always be a hero for our country. A tad disappointment but still, I'm a proud Malaysian! ;)
Anyway, something happened just now and I was a lil furious with someone. My apology for that. I stand still for the dignity of my country but I believe things wouldn't have gone that far off if I would have been more patient and forgiving. A lesson for both of us this time. ;)

My 20th Post, for the 20-year-old Me

I’m approaching 20 in less than 2 months time.

For the ump time in my life,

I tried to sit down and reflect on my life.

And I thought

‘Wow, I’ve accomplished so much, I’ve been through so much’

But then, there are many things that I’ve always wanted to do,

things that I thought I’d do sometime in the future,

things that I just couldn’t find the time to do,

or dare not to step up to.

And the things I’d accomplished,

well, they’re not like I’d put in great deal of efforts for them.

I don’t even know how I managed to get through them,

I just, did.

Sometimes it feels like life has its own way,

it just, happen,

and I’m not part of it.

Not part of my own life, as ironic as it might sound.

I thought I had a great education,

education that will prepare me for what’s awaiting ahead.

As if I know what’s ahead.

I don’t.

I followed the path of others.

I tried so hard to persuade myself

to take the road walked by others.

As for the trail not taken,

unwillingly, it will remain untaken, unexplored and unknown to me,

to the rest of my life.

There’s this one part of my own life

that I choose to ignore, choose to pretend that it never exists,

choose to tell myself that I’ll be fine

as long as it is remained deep inside,

forcefully suppressed and remains as the not-to-be-spoken.

But as I grow older, it’s pulling me backward, it’s drowning me.

I frown, more than I can recall,

not even to my own consciousness.

I choose to stay back, rather than to fight for what I want.

When my reflection stares back at me,

I don’t even see myself anymore.

It’s true what people say about negative energy.

It consumes you.

It injects lethargy, it spreads hopelessness.

For where faith and joy no longer exist,

it calls triumph on itself.

I wanted to move on, for many years I tried to.

Nevertheless, I ended up falling back, every single time.

And today, something just dawn on me.

I realise,

moving on doesn’t always mean leaving something behind.

For perhaps accepting my past

is the only way I can be inspired to carry on,

with what I have, accepting who I am

and hopefully,

when the next thought is being written,

I’ll be a better me,

if not a happier me…

Stifling Days in Tawau

Yep, it's been some time since my last post, I've been busy, *beaming proud*...haha...with all the eating n drinking and going out...XD....

In fact, it's almost MUST for me to shower twice a day or else it's a certain that the skin will get all clammy and sticky....yucks....
Anyway, gonna start working soon... ;) not sure if i'm capable of the job though...XD...I'll try my best...;-)

That's all till the next post!!~~

George Sampson

Never really is a huge fan of Britain's Got Talent but this little boy that I first saw with a friend and then again in another friend's blog captured my attention. George Sampson, often seen performing in the Market Street of Manchester was the latest winner of the show. It wasn't his first time auditioning for the show but he didn't make it to the semi-final cut last year. He was just 13 last year and he said he wanna help to ease a bit of his family burden. I can't imagine myself even having the thought of helping out my family. And his spirit of not giving up impresses me a lot. He said in this year's audition, 'I keep on practicing and I just got bigger and better.' I'm just glad that he won. Cuz I thought he definitely deserves the honor. Many more promises in the future. Way to go, George!


Here is the clip of him in his semi-final performance, dancing to the jazz of 'Dancing in the Rain'

Goodbye First Year

First of all, congratz to all of us who had finished our exam, and I think we all deserve a hip hip hooray for enduring our first year in UK, (I hope the word 'endure' is not too exaggerating ; ) )
I was over the moon when I walked out of the exam hall this morning, finally felt that the load at my back was gone, and for the very first time in these few months, Hull actually looked lovely and fresh to me. My oh my, look how exam had taken a toll on me...lolx....Anyway, it's finally over now. Oyin was shouting and yelling the moment we got out from the hall, I was that close to joining her crazy act but I did refrain myself, well decided to be a tad low profile, after all, it's my first year.
But then, when I got back, I didn't really know wht to do. Everyone is working tonite, no one's gonna celebrate with me. Ah well, After all, I'm the last one to finish exam in Hull. I wud look stupid still being all excited and happy among a bunch of people whom their excitement had worn off days ago. Hrm, anyway, I guess my laptop will share my happiness. laptop is all I'm left with now. *sobs*

Pity me please?

Stef Sun in SK Jewelery Ad

Came across this ad in youtube, a Stefanie Sun's jewelery advertisement in Singapore that I'd seen many years ago. She still looks gorgeous and untainted as she always is, and this is kindda from the bottom of my heart. :)

vivien says (15:41):
amos... u see... is not spend, is treat!!!
vivien says (15:42):
u've used the wrong

I'm soooooo sorry Ms. Vivien, my bad! Should hv learnt English harder when I was young.... ><

We are Happy Family

Was talking to Zaza just now, well, to be precise, was blaming and complaining her over A RECENT INCIDENT, so eventually I asked her to spend me icecream when I get back to Tawau as her gesture of apology to me *evil beaming*. But her reply in MSN left me speechless....=.=''

Amos: 'I don't care, u gotta spend me....'
Eliza: 'I spend u, u spend me, we are happy family.....'

Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...............*fainted*

Mr. Amos Introducing Album of the Month

I recently fell in love with this new Taiwan artist, of the name Amber Guo (郭采洁). First impression upon this girl didn't surprise me mainly because she has the typical cute look of most Taiwanese singers which somehow suggests a rather cliche expression of : Hi, I'm pretty outside but I can't sing. (I know it's my bad, Im being superficial, can't help it..sorry!) But once I listened to her songs, I was totally blown away by her voice, strong but soft simultaneously, a tad of rocker's style and that slight resemblance to Angela Zhang's vocal honestly attract me. So, yea, haha I know I sounds like I know alot about singing, but I'm just bluffing. But anyway, this is a really not-so-bad album/singer. U guys can give it a try!

The Mickey Player

Alrite people, especially girls, stay calm cuz what I'm gonna introduce to u is something i thought is super cute, though not really that practical I think compare to iPod (they can be used as accesories for girls though!)but well, who know....Anyway, it's called the MPlayer or Mickey Player, production of Disney. The thing about Disney is that their things are always cute and they manage to project a very high quality and brandy impression to consumers, (or just me??!!) I think it's all about the metallic material that they use on the surface of their product. Alrite alrite, I know u guys are thinking: 'cut all the crap and show some pictures, dude!'

So here it goes, ladies and gentlemen, introducing the Mickey Player!






















































So, which colour do u guys like??? I personally like the black one, and if u go google for it, there a limited edition of Mplayer in gold colour, but nah, gold is not my colour...lolx

Earthquake in China

I thought this was kindda sad. It's about the 7.8 ritcher scale earthquake in China, somewhere in SzeChuan. That guy's really a good mayor, it's comforting somehow to know that there are people who actually cared and took action about the disaster. My heart went out for them. God bless them. ;-(

Accents Are Amazing!

Alrite, I'm not trying to offend anyone, just thought this might be fun to watch. Enjoy ur day with various english accents!!! Who knows u might need em' when u travel around the world!! Lolx
This guy is superb by the way!

Standard English


Cockney English


Redneck American English


Indian English


Australian English


Standard American English


Well, after listening to all this different accents, which one u like the best? I thought Indian English roxxx!!! XD

P/S: After posting this blog, I just gotta go listen to Cockney Girl by Leehom!

American Idols Give Back Show

Never thought that this song can appear in American Idol but it did!!!
It's rather grand and overwhelming I wud say...;)
The name of this song, for those never come across it, is

'Shout to The Lord'

P/S: Pardon me Bonnie and Cadee ... >.<

Counter-Stress

It's all about exams these days....
Been trying so hard to do revision day in day out...
but most of the time, I ended up stranding myself in powerapple...>.<
Somehow the notes that I tried so hard to force them into my mind seems to be gone no where to be found.
Starting to get annoyed and sick of this situation. ARGHHH!!
Anyway, I found a really good and traditional way of de-stressing myself, (if only u even call that stress)
which is...
...
...
...
...
FOOD!
I knwo I'm suppose to be getting off some weight but sometimes, a lil' bit of indulgence is not a bad thing as well....;p
Right Boni?

P/S: Found this snobbish picture while googling...lolx











I call this a banana trying to be posh....XD

Next Top Chef ---ME

Today, I made my first ever roast pork ribs,ahem ahem...*proud*
Well, I gotta say, it's all about creativity,
First, it's a bit of oyster sauce, and then a bit of hoi sin sauce, n then there are pepper and chilli powder and a lil' bit of soya sauce. The golden ingredient for seasoning my pork ribs!! *beaming*
You can jot down some notes if u want!
And then after marinating them for like 3 to 4 hrs, the ribs are all ready for the next step!
Then I put them into the oven and I sort of lost track of how long I place them in, but you know, it's all about constant checking to see whether it's turning to that dark brownish color and you know you're near success when u start to smell the aroma of roast pork! lol...(I'm talking like a pro chef on tv show now..!)
And while you are waiting for the whole process, you can start making the sauce for it.
Again, to cook the sauce, we need hoi sin sauce, and then a bit of soya sauce and oyster sauce and tomato sauce. (Well, I personally like tomato sauce, u can skip that if u want) Not forgetting some water. Simmer the whole thing until it turns into thick gravy form and you're all ready to have a delicious dinner!!

My Night With Cloverfield

Well, there's nothing better than starting a fresh new blog with something that I did for today.
Basically, I cooked myself a generous serving of mesh potato to go with my stew beef & carrot.
And I thought: what is better than enjoying a good dinner with a good movie?
So I search through my external hard drive and found this Cloverfield movie that I got from Mr. Nixon.
I always wanna watch this movie but I just didn't have the time for it.
And after completing one long and miserable chapter of Renal System for Human Physiology, I thought this would be a good reward for myself.
So I started the movie and sat in front of my desk enjoying my fabulous night all to myself.
And so I guess some of you know this film, Cloverfield. The whole filming technique is like someone recording an incident using a camcorder and it's all shaky and confusing and chaotic and bumpy and noisy and guess what?
All these stuffs contribute to the ultimate ingredient of causing dizziness and nausea to me! GREAAAT...=.='
So by the time the film was halfway thru, I was like having this sea sick or car sick that I had to lie on my bed to finish the whole thing. And the movie is so full of suspense that curiosity just wouldn't allow me to stop halfway!
Don't get me wrong, the plot was nice, it's a blockbuster movie but it's just not a good movie to watch during or after u had your meal. TRUST ME!!><
I ended up feeling like vomitting but couldn't get em' out, and my whole night was ruined....=.='

____________________________________________________________________
Oh ya, by the way, 'someone' sent me a fabulous picture. I don't know about you guys but I personally discovered great talent in this fella. Don't you just think that this painting has certain level of resemblance to Picasso's style and Van Gogh's attitude? The use of multiple colour and creativity is just amazing!!XD

Take a wild guess who I'm talking about!
