When you take it for granted (26/08/2016)

Wish I could express about my current feelings, but since it's getting late now (2.43am), I can't afford to lose more sleeping time now when I can sleep.

To summarize it, I'm pretty sad today.

I hardly get sad over friendship. The last I remembered was a few years back when I started to feel a great distance between myself and a close friend. We were so close, until one point I almost shared to her all of my problems, be they family or relationship problems. For me to share until that extend, you must be someone whom I really, really trust.

Sadly? We hardly talk anymore.

There was one period of time where I was so sad that she got close to another girl friend. Well what can I do to save our friendship? Nothing. I lost my only best friend.

I can't seem to find someone that can accept me as I am, to be there to listen and basically fool around with me. 

That was then.

To be honest I never really had a best friend ever since. Until when I finally learn to treasure friendship again, which is now, I was not being appreciated. Have I given so much that they took it for granted? When I cared so much and nobody cares for me, have I sacrificed too much to get myself so torn inside? I don't understand. It has been happening for quite some time and I always let the feelings go away since those are small matters. But today. One sentence that was not meant to hurt me, has cut me from the top to bottom. I was so lost at words that I just walked away without a word.

'Oh. I forgot about you.'

It wasn't the first time I heard this but, it has been planted in me.

That was today.

What got me to write this post isn't how disappointed I feel. It was something else.
Before I write this post I was sitting down in my usual chair doing my assignment. I was pretty quiet throughout the night. My hands were working on my project and my head zoning off, just wasn't in the mood.

Then I received a call from a long-time-friend. 
The phone call lasted for an hour and a half. What was it about? Nothing. All he did was to stay on the line, singing to me while I worked on my assignment.

He knew I was unhappy cause I told him so, expecting him to leave me alone. But instead of being annoyed, his stay actually meant so much to me. I was touched.

It must be God, trying to show me that there are people who actually cared. 
It must be God, trying to ease my heartache. 
It must be God.

That was the phone call.

Later when we were texting, he told me that he was diagnosed with some incurable sickness.

I was stunned for a long time. 

For the first time in my life, I was so, afraid, to lose, a friend. 

Suddenly, all the memories I had with him flashed through my mind.

I was in pain.

Then he told me it wasn't serious. As long he takes care of himself, as long the sickness doesn't get serious, it's fine.

Regardless. I told myself I have to appreciate this friend, till my very last breath.
As i was recalling the past, he has always been there.
He is the one who always comes to me when there is problem. 
He always tells me how much he appreciates our friendship, how much he appreciates me.

I never took it to heart.
I feel so bad.

We were from the same kindergarten, so technically we were friends for almost 18 years now.
But we only reconciled at age 15/16. So to be exact, we have at least a solid 7-year-friendship by now.


Well.

That was the deal.

Funny part was. I had a bad dream the day before, that one of my good friend told me that he was diagnosed with cancer, and that he has only 1 month left. Something else happened in the dream which I don't intend to express. When I woke up I felt so strange. It faded anyway.

Such coincidence? Or maybe not.


Friendship. 
I'm seeing it a different way now.

Goodnight.

追梦?

Another beautiful morning I wake up to!
Le boyfriend never fails to make my day better with his morning call every time.

Good morning guys :)

This post was supposed to be way earlier, just that every time it's either the atmosphere that is not right or the timing. Also, I actually started this post with chinese BUT my brain and fingers didn't seem to cooperate very well. Lol

This post is mainly about my experience performing in MMU for the first time, with dear Fresh Bottle mates. Fresh Bottle has always been in my head since I entered Foundation. But because of my very heavy coursework, I didn't manage to join their events until now (2nd Year of degree already!).

Half a year ago, just one fine day, I met a friend at Central Plaza. She approached me and somehow led me to their booth. To cut the story short, I signed myself up for their audition, not knowing what it was for and when it would be. Went for the audition, passed as guitarist and vocalist, and with a few practices, there I was, performing on stage with a group of passionate musicians and awesome vocalists.

And I shall now let the photos do the rest of the talking :)


11th Fresh Bottle Recital "Platform 11" 第十一届沁瓶子歌曲发表会《十一站》

25th November 2015 (Wednesday)
Multipurpose Hall, MMU, Cyberjaya


Part of the performers.




主题曲:人生那车站
词曲:许芯慈,王珉倩






歌名:卒
词曲:Alda-Ray



歌名:半首
词曲:Kido Lee, Ah Ying


坊歌:好瓶如潮
词曲:罗浩庭,徐子斌

I was involved in 4 out of 12 songs. What makes me really excited was the bunch of new friends that I met. From knowing nobody when I first joined, now I have a group of music buddies where we share our passion together every now and then. Also, I was so delighted to have met Colbie Ong in person. She's a local artist now, also our very senior of Fresh Bottle in MMU. She was the one that motivated me to join Fresh Bottle when I first heard her sing 2 years ago. RAWR I went all fan-girl-ish over her when I requested to take photo with her. Urgh regretted that so much later. 



Heh. 
Colbie Ong 王思涵



Another inspiration.
Ah Ying, young and talented.
So much to learn from her! :)



Lastly this dear girl Li Ping.
Everybody (well most) says we look alike from the photos.
Even our boyfriends HAHA.

Except she's taller and has way nicer teeth. :D
Bleh.
Nice to know you!

Fresh Bottle is one of the platform I have to express my passion to music. I would have submitted my originals if I knew they opened the floor for submission. Nevertheless, I enjoyed myself so much throughout the event. 

Deep down, I know that Fresh Bottle is gonna be something I will bring with me even after I leave MMU when I graduate.

This opportunity given is well appreciated.
Till next time! heeeees

(18/11/2015) 2nd year already ._.

Guess how time never fails to wake me from my sleep?

I'm already in my year 2 now.

I really wish I had the time to store my memories here in this blog each time a semester ends. Funny how I always seem like the only one appreciating the moments most of the time. I'm tired of hearing question like 'why do you have to capture this?' Why? because I know when I look back at that particular picture a few years later it would mean so much to me :) Hehe.

I'm glad that me and my housemates are getting along pretty well. It's about 8 months living under the same roof with them, even after a month of break, everything still resumes the way it was. Housemates, Roommates, Coursemates, Groupmates, God always gives us perfect arrangement!

My result for my the previous semester (1st year 3rd sem) was out a week ago. I'm quite satisfied, considering both my major got A+ and A-, and the rest of the subjects with 2 As and 2 miserable Bs. Little bit more to reach First Class Honor, that means I must jiayou this sem liao!

Speaking of that, rumor says that there will be no more exemption of repayment for ptptn even if we graduated as FCH. I've checked various sources and they all said otherwise. Regardless, Imma score as good as I can, even thou the cancellation of exemption will only demotivate me.

Last semester was hell to me, but I kind of enjoyed being in it. Or maybe I should just say it was a tough test in Heaven. :p I lost count on those sleepless nights and days with only 1 - 2 meals. Oh and not forgetting the maggiss I consumed. I feel sad for my body :( People have been telling me that I've lost weight and looked more 憔悴 and what not.

Well now I'm still in my first week of semester, I'm trying my utmost best to sleep enough, eat enough and exercise enough. Yes before the hard times come. I want to gain weight as badly as you want to pet a kitty (HAHA). But I'm serious, more than ever.

Right now I'm trying to get myself exposed to as much of things as I can, at the same time I can't help it to realize how tiny and limited I am. Thanks to the boyfriend for always pouring information to me. He may not be always right but his eagerness to learn always motivates me. Without him I would have nobody else to always push me forward. (why does this sound like a dedication post suddenly lol) Well thou sometimes I really feel like punching him in the face haha but he really is treasure to me.

Kay gotta run. Class soon. It's AFX3 later.

Till next time! :)

Ex-Strangers


From strangers to course-mates.

From course-mates to housemates.

I have just moved in with 8 of them to a new apartment, reason was because the management of the previous apartment was a torture. Well I can't really say that cause I was one of them who refused to register for their resident card. *guilty* For some reason they blocked a few entrance and we had to walk one whole round to get to campus. Long story short, they gave us much nightmares. So did us.

However it may turn out, I moved here for a few reasons. I struggled for some time to make this decision because I was too used to being alone. I was known as the lone-ranger, well as how some of them may call me. I go to class alone, I leave class alone, I go home alone, I eat alone and etc. Of course when needed, I would socialize and that isn't a problem with me. I do things alone and I enjoy being that way. Hmm I wonder if people would label me as arrogant or ignorant or some anti-social freak. O.O please don't! I love making friends too ahah. 

This new apartment is super clean. It's my 3rd house that I shifted since I started my studies in MMU. The first house was with 7 MYOB housemates. So you can imagine, the house was quiet as hell (which is what I like) but dirty as hell too. I miss my 2 roommates thou. Second house was with 3 MYOB housemates. Loved that house cause it was quiet as hell and so much cleaner than the first. But heck I lost my precious camera there, plus I was only a temporary tenant so yeah, found my 3rd house here.  

Clean house makes me happier. This looks much like a HOUSE to me. With furniture, clean bathrooms, nice view and people I'm familiar with. It's my 3rd week living under one roof with them. I love this house. I love the people in this house. I can be myself here. I hope it lasts. 

(:
