Sonia's birthday @ karaoke
=)). My birthday was ok. I mean, my party, I had enough fun. So I guess, my parents should be happy for me too. So worth it -lar, heh? ^_^
Collected my 3kg orange flavoured birthday cake on the 27th April, 5:30pm. Thought I wanted pandan OR cappuccino flavour at 1st, but some people don't eat pandan cakes. The bakery didn't recommend cappuccino, so well, orange would do. I'm sure everyone's fine with orange flavoured cakes? ;). We actually bought 2 dozens of 1.5 liter coke! We only used 3 ½ bottles. Now isn't that a joke? So now, we've like 20 ½ bottles of coke left. Hahaha.. Dad said "So now, after the whole party, my sis would be the happiest person". She smiled. Heeh!
I was, I guess the busiest person during the party. I think I was supposed to be also. Haha.. As the host... I was like running here and there. We booked 3 rooms in total, and I went in all 3 (obviously). Tiring. Hahaha.. Three seperate groups -- Parents friends / relatives (older people! =p), Secondary school friends, College friends... Miscellaneous was arranged to be in the bigger room, where my secondary school friends were. So yea. I had to run here and there, take care of lil lil problems, like techincal problems, or extra orders. I hardly sat down. Sang a few songs in every room. Hehehe. I had to right? Especially when no one's singing yet. I had to make them feel more comfortable also, so that I won't feel that bad, when I'm not there to company them. At least. HEhehe.. =). But I feel so sorry for those who don't really sing. Yea, I did accompany them more, but only like a few minutes more.. I couldnt stay at one place (room) mar. The party started at 6pm. So later, at about 9, I felt my back aching. Hehehe.. Yew Kwut Tung in cantonese. Hahaha.. 21, haihhh.. Old already.. ;pp
Thank u all of you that came & made me feel quite happy and satisfied on my birthday. I got to meet lotsa friends too. Old friends. =))). Hehe.. Thanks Melissa for the bday wish. Don't worry, AF.. I am not mad, just hoped u could come only, but it's really OK. I am not angry or pouting. Hehehe.. =)). Thanks also to Jae Ann, Christina Han, Jayne, and Lee Cheng, and Irene, and Zi, Jin Hwa, Chee Seng, Kevin Joo, Kah Choon, Aeron Ho, Kar Fai, Jie Liang, Kee Yaw, Gene, and all my other friends! =))
I had a variety of birthday presents. I like them all. Thank you, thank you, you, you, and you.. =))
I didn't think about my present from you at all. HAhahaha.. THANK YOU!! Some more so ngam (time's so right / coincidently), I recieved the pressie today. YAY! HAhahaha. Yes. I'm extreeemely happy. Hahahaha... *flashes a blissful smile* =))))) *But somehow the smile won't go awayyy* XD
HAhahaha.. I got home quite late today, cos I went to Giant USJ after my cell group meeting. Was with my dad. Had my blood pressure, height & weight checked. All seemed normal. Anywayyy, apparently, my friend was already waiting for my SMS of "thanks" to him.. He didn't expect me to reach home that late (bout 7pm). Muahahaha. I reaaaaaally didn't think about getting the pressie today. I think I thought that my present would reach me later, or bla blah blahhhh.. But.. Haahahaaha.. THANK YOU!! *MUACKS!*
Got 1 dozen of red roses, Feodora Cafe for Two choc, a I Wuv You Bob-Alongs cute decorative item, and a card, wishing me a "Happy 21st Birthday". =))). Will take a few pics of me & bouquet tomorrow morning. Bout my party later. ;)
C ya!
P/s: Thanks Zi, for the wish! =))). How r u? Are you still blogging? If so, what's the URL? Cos that URL in my gbook isn't working. =?
My birthday preparations are almost ready. Celebrating in a karaoke, and asked for catering service also. So not so ma fan (troublesome), but of course, need to pay more. Hahaha.
I like to celebrate my birthdays. Even though they remind me that I'm getting older each year, but I'm only 21 this year. So, not so bad for me yet. Hehehe.. But still, I hope I will just stay 21 forever. So I'll be an adult (for legalisations =p), and still be young 4eva! HAhaha.. But it would be a dream, for eternity.. ;pp
Anyway, Irene is also going to my birthday party. Only knew it after I called her. Then suddenly she go ask me a question "Is Lee Cheng going as well?". I was like "Huh?".. HAhahaha.. Sorry ya, Leech, and every other friends out there. The reason I'm giving this scenario is, not that I duwana invite any other people, but then, I have already like 50+ guests.. It's like they are all from different groups and all. My dad's friends, and my Samad friends, a bit of coll frens.. Already hard to cope now. You know rite? Like social gatherings, when u invite people from different groups, u get awkward pauses in convo(s), and also it wouldn't be as fun. I know, I know.. I can celebrate seperately, but then... I am not planning to spend thattt much.. The party this Sunday is already expensive enough. =\. I do pity my parents, you know.. I hope they'd think that this party is worth it. MANY THANKS to my PARENTS!! *huuggggss* X)))
Btw, my birthday cake is 3kg. Sounds too big to me, but apparently, 1 kg of cake is just enough for 20 people, 1 slice per person. ~_o. I am so gonna take picutes on my birthday. I hope I get to snap a lotttt, with me in the pics of course. Yayy! Hehehe.. ;))
Easter ; I'm missing choir ; Thank you for the pressies ;)))
So nice. A few days I didn't really update much. =pp. Hahaha.. Actually was really lazy lar. Somemore a bit pissed. Quite a few things happened. But I'm ok. Hehe.. The Easter Day entry just gone like that. Ish. Now so lazy to tell u all the whole story again.. Next time wana look back (nostalgia) also cannot. Haha.. ;pp
Brief updates on my Easter Day this Sunday. We had a presentation. It turned out so much more nicer that day itself, compared to practice. Hehe.. We only had about 4 hours of practice. Not bad, not bad. =)). Anyway, I thought Kelvin would make me lead sing, or try to convince the people there to make me. 'Cos he said this to me a few times liow. Key words are "Sonia, daring, Sunway Coll's audition, must have a good voice - if not how to go for audition, sang Vanessa William 's Colours of the Wind, sure good singer wan. I mean. Not saying that he's irritating -lar. He is very nice wan! Sometimes I pity him also, cos he's so nice, then some people will take advantage of his nice-ness. Oh well.. back to the presentation. So I was only in the choir, no solo parts. Kelvin go tell me next time give me solo part. HAhaha.. But then, I don't mind also actually. In fact, I like it. HAhaha. Whatever lar. Just no worries. Singing in a group & singing solo are both NICE. Hehe.. =D
Let me see what can I remember to blog about...
Hahaha..About what Jennifer told me (after Easter Day's service at CBC), some amusing story, where MY was crazy over some food! Even being pulled back, he still insisted to have a bite. I couldn't help but.. Laugh Out Loud (ok -lar, may be not so loud ;p). It was really funny lar! Hahahaha.. Some people..... =ppp. Anyhow, he's just cute in his own way. ;))
My contact lense!! I CANNOT wear my contacts anymore! >(. One side, the right side, has gone missing for no reason. When I opened up the "container" of the contact lense, I saw the whole right side EMPTY! No solution inside also! I tried to see whether the rigth & left side contacts were together, but no.. So there goes my contact lenses, and I've to wear my specs ONLY. So, that means I WON'T be wearing my dresses already, cos I've no mood to wear them already anyway. No contact lenses -marrrrrr.. < Specs with dresses not so nice >. Formula applicable to me, I think. *Sighs*. See how -lar. Let's move on to another topic...
I went to Pyramid on Tuesday. Wanted to buy vitamins, but I was under-budget. Went to "Infiniti" to try on clothes. Also, kacau (disturbed) our friend there a little. Sorta. Oh yaaaaaaa. I bought this pouch which I really like. Hehehe.. I thought of saving it for my friends to buy it for me >_< , cos I'm sure they will ask what I want for my pressie. Hehe.. But well, it was the LAST ONE!! I had to buy it. Hehehe.. X). Oh, and soo nice of my cousin (Gee Hong), and my uncle (dad's side).. They are both working, at least 10 years older than me.. Can say quite close, but also not too close.. They, actually asked me "What do you want for ur birthday?" Hehehe.. I was like soo happy, but I didn't dare to ask for much. I wanted to say "HANDPHONE" soooo much! Hahaha. Cos I want a new one. ;p. Well, too bad. Hehe.. So I asked them both to buy me top-up cards. Yay. Free reload! ;D
I am so... stressed up. I feel so NOW. So messy... MESSY, MESSY, PACKED, MESSY... Am trying to calm down.. =_=
Stupid blogger.com.. Added more "trouble" to my "troubles"... Actually duwana scold my host wan, but then....... My WHOLE Easter Day entry was gone! And It was quite long, or let's say I'm lazy to retype it, for now... Blogging is like, u blog whatever comes into ur mind -wan -marrr... I dunno. Then, my stupid phone line went cacat-ed (went dead). ARghhhh.. May be cos I'm bothered that I'm soo wanting to complain now. I should calm down..
Calm down, calm down, calm down, Sonia...
*Takes a deep breath*.. It's helping.. a bit.. I'm trying to calm down. Wait. I should blog sometime later, if my phone line would still be o-k.... -_-
See? Told u i would be ok wan, by the time u read this, I mean.. I was ok the next morning anyway. ;pp
Well, AT LAST, we got to communicate thru the phone. YaY! It was erm. well, early this morning. But of course I still miss him. But doesn't matter. Another 2 months +, I'll get to see him. I think? Hehehe. Hope loo. If cannot also, we can't do anything, rite? *sighs* ;). I'm doing fine. Handling it. =)
About this morning. Correction.. ==> this afternoon... If the Telekoms people didn't call me, I would have been still sleeping. Hehe.. The staff called me at 10am+ at first, I think. Later he called again. This time at 1pm. And he forced me up. I mean, cos I had to check my phone line. Hehehe. Well, so. There. I got up at 1pm today. Hehehe.. =p. And this again reminds me of me talking to him this early morning. =D =D =D. He was tired, but well, yeh. Nvm. No need to tell the whole world about it. ;p.
Anyway, I realised something. I've actualy "made" some friendships online. I mean, Not that I'm desperate for it lar. I mean I'm happy! X))). You get what I mean? Those frens that are not exactly close to you, but u get to talk to them wan. Yeah! =)
How are you guys doing anyway? Anything to catch up on? =). I always blog about myself. Hmm.. Blogs are like that. No? =p. And erm.. eheheh.. My last 2 entries made some ppl worried. I'm ok now -ar! =). Thanks for ur concerns and all. *huggies*
I'm crying, finally. Thought that everything was gona be fine. But at last...............
Don't ask me why. I don't wana talk about it. Plus, it's always the same. It's always when you (readers) read my entry, I would already be ok by then..
I wana talk to him. Online not enough. I wana call him. But it's so late now... *grumbles* *pulls own hair* *puts on an innocent sad face*.. =(((
Why.. Why.. Why? Why must this incident happen now? Why this month? =\\\\ So now he has to call me less. Or worse, CANNOT call me. I hope it does notttt happen.....
But, yea. Seriously. I wana talk to you now. I mean I wana hear your voice. Wana talk, not type....... =\
Hello. Nothing much happened. I only know that I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable, as in not feeling too well. Skipped yesterday's class, and I've no class today.
I think I'm gonna take part in the Easter Day's presentation at CBC.. Didn't manage to practise on Sunday, so I guess I must this Saturday... We're doing a sketch, with some music. Not sure whether it would be a musical play. If it is, YAY!! Hehehehe... =D
No mood to really blog now. Uncomfortable, remember? Hehhe. ;p
1st time I din blog (for a few days) without notice... Normally I update my blog at least every 2 days. Anyway, that's what I'm telling myself..
Lotsa things on my mind, but I'm not gonna blog all of it. Too much to blog about. There, 2 main topics...
Reggae Night Had a function at college on Friday Night -- Reggae Night. It was held at Sunway College's MPH (Multi Purpose Hall). Had some miscommunication & ended up, wanting to give up.. The event starts at 7pm. A friend told me that she could take me to coll, and that she would reach my place at about 6:45pm & before she leaves her hse, she would call me. But later called up & told me that she has something to do at 7, in somewhere around PJ, and that she will meet me there (at coll). So I'm ok with it. I would take a bus to coll, I thought. Before I took my bath, she called again and told me "I'm not going edi loo" (This is where the miscommunication started)..So I replied "Ok.. Give me a call later lar". After getting ready, and everything, I waited, waited, until 7:20pm or so. I was thinking "What happened? Anything happened to her??" Was anxious.. I called her up at 7:30pm, but couldn't get her. I started to give up.. Called her again at 8. FINALLY, I got her. Then I asked her "Hey. Hi. You're not going to college already, hor?" She replied no. Then this is what I realised. The MISCOMMUNICATION was about, Sonia thought that her friend called her to say that she wasn't going to PJ (means, she has nothing to do at 7 already, so she's coming to fetch me at 6:45 still). Sonia's friend actually meant that, she didn't want to go for the event in college anymore (means, she still has something to do at 7, so she isn't going to meet me later in college, and that still means that I have to go to college by myself). What a miscommunication. Well, what else happened? There was no one to blame. Miscommunications memang are like that -wan.. I looked disappointed obviously. My dad's mood wasn't too good himself, so he refused to take me to college. I was all ready, dressed up and all, and then suddenly..... I think my dad saw my =\ face, and that softened his heart. Ahahah.. At last he decided to take me to coll after his dinner. So, I managed to go to coll anyway! Reached there at 9. ;). And we (friends & lecturers & me) actually took lotsa pics. So many ppl brought their cameras. Hehehe...
Q bar We went to Qbar after the Reggae Nite. I followed the big group. Don't really like to go to discos, but well, nevermind -lar. Since our lecturers were going too. Hehehe.. Everyone had a nice time, and a few of us were actually quite high & drunk. I think high is a better word to describe. And we were all worried, so we made sure that they (those who were high) stick in our group & everyone one watched everyone close.. Anyway, these 2 guys next to our table... ISH.. typical hum sup fellas (perverts)! Two uncles! We (the girls) were being cautious, especially towards them.. One of them actually hugged a friend of mine so tight that no matter how she struggled, she wasn't freed. Then somehow she got away after giving him a good tight slap! Stupid fella. What do u think of us girls? You think every girl or woman who goes to discos are THAT "free"? Ready for u to hug, molest, hit, or lay?? He must be MAD. Anyway, after he got his slap >) my friend knew that he was mad (can see it thru his eyes). She quickly ran back & sticked to us, especially to our lecturers.. He deserves it ler!! >(( !! I'm glad that nothing happened to us and that we had good and protective friends with us that night. =)). Went to mamak stall at about 3. Then, i went overnight at Monita's. Reached her place at bout 4:30am, went to mamak again (I was hungry, din have a proper dinner!), and also chatted a lot.. We actually slept after 7am, but woke up before 10am! That is why I was so tired on Saturday... My dad scolded me cos I looked very tired. *sigh*
That's what I really wanted to talk about.. ;p. Long, huh? Ahh, well, I'm talketive.. =p
Looking back at my last entry. Did u feel like ur attending a lecture or something? HEhehe.. =p
Anyway, I didn't expect to come across Allan Phang's blog. It's a new listing at GMBL. The name "Allan Phang" made me click on the link. Really him wor. He's my ex-schoolmate. ;)
Went and collect my package yesterday. XD. Chocolates. Thank you, MY! =D
Had a minor food poisoning yesterday. Teruk (bad) man.. I mean, I realy felt superb uncomfortable. I couldnt do anything peacefully. Coudln't sit, stand, lie down. Nothing. I had to move about. Felt like jumping about but not jumping too hard but... U know what I mean? The uncomfortness. ARGH.. Called my mum & she asked me so many questions. Fortunately didn't lose my patience talking to her. >p. Threw up later, and then felt a bittt more better. Long time since I last vomited. I think, a few years ago.. Dad came back about 10 minutes later. Brought me to my "family doctor". The doc asked us not to worry. No fever. So nevermind yet. OH. So, that's how it feels to be having food poisoning. A major one would be worse.... Anyhow, I'm alright now. =)
I saw Irene today. She told me that she just came back from Pangkor Island. She rounded the whole island, cycling, but actually fell of from a 16 degrees slope. She's so stubborn. She bled, but continued on with her journey. She said, the doctor & she thinks that she has internal bleeding. =O. Suppose to rest at home, but still walked to college to do her assignments. What -lar you, Irene...
CIM allows us to choose, to either take 50 / 50 - Projects & exam, OR, 100% exam only. Last minute thing and we have to decide soon. I'm still thinking about it..
Anyway, about the "Anger Management" workshop. It's like this. Anger is a secondary emotion. The 4 primary emotions are hurt, shame, fear, jealousy. Signs and symptoms of emotional damage are: denial or suppression of emotions, wrong expression, use our emotions to manipulate or abuse others. We
1. Should be honest about our emotions,
2. Identify whether it's a valid or invalid anger,
Valid anger - Angry because of genuine wrong doings. (Eg: the breaking of law)
- Can be proven by asking:
a) Is this a wrong doing that I'm angry at?
b) Can it be proven by facts & all that it is an act of sin?
Invalid anger - Our own perception of wrong doings (which is normally wrong -lar. Ehehe..)
3. Know the primary emotions -- hurt / shame / fear / jealousy 4. Deal with the anger (Try not to repeat being invalid-ly angry), and deal with it in the spirit of gentleness by forgiving the person. (confronting the person or not, depends on urself).
One important thing (to me) that I learnt from this workshop, which I find it really true. Whether you believe in God or not, you should take a moment and think about this.
"We, as humans, have expectations, needs, and desires. We ourselves know that we cannot possibly fulfil anyone's needs. We're all normal human beings - not perfect. Where can we fulfil every single needs of another human being? That is why, we should not expect other people to fulfil our needs. Instead, we should all turn to God to fulfil our needs. Leave things to God. Then, we won't feel disappointed, sad, frustrated, etc".
What I just "quoted". It helps us control our emotions. I mean, I find it useful. Very. ;)
Anyway, I cut myself on Sunday (cheng beng). Hahaha.. 5 thorns cut my index finger. Painful =p. And the cut is deeper than expected. Hehehe.. ;p
Thanks, Jayne for ur concern. I guess I'm still ok =). And yes, alex. Fix ur MSN, if u can.. And you are welcome. =p
I went for an "Anger Management" workshop on Saturday. Got up at 7am to bathe. So early........ =p. Anyway, I'm the "assertive" type of person. According to the quiz I took -lar. Hehe. Means I can take care & deal with my anger -worrr.. Guess so. ;p. Share with u a lil about the anger management thingy later. It helps. ;)
Refused to get up at 6 today. Only got up at 6:30am. Hehehe. Went for the "Cheng Beng" thingy today. (Something like the memorial of our ancestors, duno how to put it. ;p). Quite tiring. But we ate seafood after that. >).
Hey, I can't blog some more now. Gotta run. Can I continue later? =p. Even if u say no, I would also. ;p
Am I really feeling good or what? Am I really that fine nowadays? Is it true that I'm feeling better nowadays? Or they were all temporary feelings? Do I still feel fine?
I guess I'm just sensitive. I'm too sensitive? I admit that I am sensitive, but not till that extend, and I'm only sensitive to certain people's treatment, etc. Am I selfish? Of course. I am at times. I admit. Everyone's at least a little selfish. But, the selfishness I'm talking about now is a different kind. Hey, you people receive special treatment from me. I'm loyal, you know? I need something. I'm not too greedy. I just want sincerity, and love, of course. Is it that difficult to be sincere? Is it that difficult to be less ignorant? Are you suffering because you have to give me more attention? Am I that dependent? People say that I'm independent. May be I just prefer to depend on certain people, on those who are close to me.. So, I guess, I'm both. I am an independent girl, but prefer to depend when possible. Did i put it right? Hmmm.. I'm an average human being after all. Or I just don't work hard enough? Too tired after standing alone for so long?
I don't know where I'm going to already. Straying away from what I wanted to blog about.. =p. But I'm feeling better already now. Ahahaha.. ;p
Anyway, supposed to go for archery club's meeting today. Waited for the bus & the bus did not show up. So I told the prez that I'll only be going for the next meeting. And it was a "sandy day". Despite the hot sun, the wind blew constantly, blowing sand into people's eyes. Ish.. =p
Happy belated April Fool's Day. I didn't get fooled! =p. Long time didn't care about April 1st already anyway. =p.
I didn't go to college yesterday, everything was peaceful, except for the sound from the printer. Did my work. Then until about 10pm, I got a link -- Yahoo HK news link. "Leslie Cheung died on April 1st.". Then I was thinking...... Is this an april fool's joke? Yahoo jokes on april the 1st too? Hehehe.. Well, I was being erm... a bit cautious. =p. And well, it's sad coz it's real. He suicided cos of some emotional problem..
It seems that CIM replied our Professional Courses's Director. The due date of the assignment has been changed back to the original date - May. >). At lasttt. =))
