Home is Where the Heart is

Sometimes all we need to do is unwind and relax.
The collection of too much stress isn't that good for the body, mind and soul.

Had the most amusing nightmare ever. Dreamed of a tsunami >_>

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-


I just had the most relaxing holiday. Not exactly relaxing since I was hoping to catch up on my sleep during the past 3 days to no avail due to the constant traveling and my mum saying, " If you wanna sleep you might as well stay at home!".

During the long drives from west to south, and south to east, and east to west, it made me think.
Of course, added on with something I've been reading about choices and how it affects the future, it REALLY made me think.



Because, during the crossroads of my life, I had to take totally different paths. For example:

1. Should I skip the PTS thing? In the end, I chose to skip standard 4. But if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to meet all my lovely friends right now =) But imagine, your life without me...It will be either pretty peaceful...or pretty boring xD Please make me happy and say that it'd be pretty boring.
2. The next huge one was when I was about to enter secondary school. I actually put SMK Seri Petaling. My mum made me change it to SMK Seri Saujana. Haha. So Dianne, thank my mum xD If I went to SMKSP, I'd be with my primary school friends. But, not going to SMKSS would mean that I would never have made so many friends and the few special ones whom I call my sisters :D Tsing would have been a lonely girl and Mel would be...er...sitting under an apple tree. *K.K Chan inside joke* Haha!
   
3. Of course, I had actually persuaded Xiao Foong to change it to SMKSS. Imagine if she did. I might not be able to sit next to you at all Dianne. And as you've mentioned in your blog...Well, the rest is history ;D
4. The decision to change classes in form 4. If I did, I'd be extremely close and stuck and attached to Dianne and Sarah. But being away from Dianne meant that I had to stand up for myself. Of course, I had Steph to support me then :D She was whom I learnt how to be sarcastic from :p So, for those who knew me before that, they are either sad that I've changed so much, amused that I HAVE changed that much or are just simply speechless :p
5. Next would be what to do after SPM. A levels of course. But what if I were assigned to a different class? A class that isn't PM4? I wouldn't be able to meet all my whacky friends in college then :) To know that there are people like this. Haha. Hyped up like Vienna *cough E Li too *cough*, more sarcastic than me *cough Ca Men cough*, and everyone else :) Carr Men and I are kinda different afterall, despite sharing the same birthday, BUT we do share similarities every now and then :)
6. Wohoo...Next would have been either IMU or Monash. Wouldn't wanna mention any specifics here for fear of insulting various parties *cough IMU cough*

Welll....that's the main crossroads are mentioned here...

:p

Such an emo post ><

Shall now post an idiotic picture.

Don't laugh ya...

I SAID DON'T LAUGH!!

31st August 2009

I think I've scolded you 3 times d :p

YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOUR FLIGHT HAS CHANGED TO A DAY EARLIER!!! T____T

Aaanyways, the stuff I wrote in the sms and mail are too mushy and private to be on this blog :p

So, take care :) I'll post a better blog post after my exams :)

Take care and all the best k? :D

27th August 2009

I read in a magazine today that we should always try and keep in touch with our friends; no matter how busy we are. For example, wake up maybe about an hour earlier and finish your stuff earlier so that you can spend time with your friend. It doesn't mean you need to meet up and hang out; it can just be a short sms or a phone call.

Really meaningful.

But you know how we are. We'd most probably think, " Oh, maybe he/she is having his/her exams now. Better not disturb".
Truth is, I'd rather be disturbed just for a moment. Because, that "disturbance" shows that my friend still cares.

Of course, I'm guilty for not doing that. Its always nice to hear from someone you THOUGHT has forgotten all about you. For example, Woan Yiing smsed me on my birthday. And I thought she forgot all about me. So touched now xD

It was just a simple sms saying "Happy Birthday" yet it meant a lot to me. Call me a fool but hey, lets just say I'm easily touched. Maybe its because of my upbringing or my past sad childhood :p

Yea, sad childhood. Soooo cliched xD

Aaanyways, I hope this post has given you a lot to think about. Gotta go rush my AIR topic now ><

26th August 2009

Today was a meet up with Tsing, Yee Wen, Yan Leng and Steph.

:D

Photos up when i'm free :p

Was a farewell thing for Yee Wen. First we went paobing!
But I think eating ice on an empty stomach is the worst thing to do. Since I only had a bun for lunch, my stomach didn't feel that good ><

Then we went for Yuan's steamboat :D
Of course, they took away the scallops :(
Sad d :(

But had fun eating the funny fish paste noodle thingi. But, my stomach still didn't feel too good. Even till now :(
See Yee Wen? ITS FOR YOUR SAKE. Now my stomach is suffering t.t

Moral of the story? EAT LUNCH. Haha. Don't eat ice when you haven't had lunch t.t

Also, Lai Mun called us in the middle of Yuan's. Durian ice-cream and cookies and cream! :D
:s And that's when my tummy didn't feel ok again ><

Funniest part is that Daniel and Tsing had a prawn shelling competition. NO HANDS. Haha. Will post the video in parts.

Fave quote of the day:
Which I heard from Tsing.

Lai Mun: Its easier to keep fat than keep fit.

There was one more but I forgot xD

Oh yea. There is. This one is courtesy of Yan Leng.

Apparently Lai Mun went island flipping xD
And Tsing will WORSHIP lai mun if she goes island hopping...I mean flipping, via swimming and survives. So Lai Mun? Tahulah apa nak buat.

Jokes aside, its time to bid another good friend adieu.

First I had to say bye to Mel.
Then Dianne.
And now Yee Wen :(

Of course, those who are still in Malaysia albeit on another island altogether doesn't count. So...sorry la Lai Mun and Tsing xD

Yea...So Yee Wen, a.k.a horse lover.
Take care and all the best :)
Sorry cuz I might not be able to send you off in the airport :(

Take care darling <3
:)

21st August 2009

It was a miscalculation on my part.

Now I will need to study, freak out and I can't join treasure hunt and track trip.

I feel like exploding, crying and just break out into a fight right now.

Anyone wanna go into a fist fight with me? Verbal fights are fine by me.

I just wanna give myself a reason to shout at somebody

><

20th August 2009

1. You'll most probably die from stress before graduating.
2. Paracetemol a.k.a is your best friend
3. Besides your lecture notes, the library and anything that doesn't involve fun.
4. Oh, that includes the MMS too.
5. You'll suffer and worry constantly about your exams, PBL, CSU and your AIR topic all at once.
6. Worry about your electives which means that you'll need to be attached to a hospital for ONE MONTH.
7. Which is during your holidays btw.
8. Which also means you'll need to see your grouchy mentor which you've never seen since the dawn of time.
9. Which ALSO means you don't have any holidays at all.
10. BECAUSE your holidays are spent doing your elective.
11. Minus the fact you get a few measly days of holidays because of the CNY.
12. That you'll love Malaysia for its multiple public holidays since the yellow shaded boxes in your calendar marked "SCHOOL HOLIDAY" no longer applies to you.
13. That you'll wish that you stay near your uni cuz that will mean that you can wake up 5 minutes before anything and still be on time.
14. That you'll be eating unhealthily despite being a med student.
15. That you'll constantly see pictures of food being compared to different lesions and wounds.
16. That you'll miss your social and personal life all at once.
17. That you wish you can have someone to rant all your problems to.
18. That you will sometimes wonder, "Am I prepared to suffer for the rest of my life for my dreams?"
19. That you'll begin to re-evaluate your whole life's values.
20. That you'll type out 20 random things about what being a med student is like.

Haha. Of course, number 19 really applies to me. Re-evaluating your life values ain't easy. And its just a small step into the world of the 'adults'. Right now, I'm just an immature kid who's living in a life filled with adults and older people. =P

Growing up ain't easy. No one ever said it was. Maturing and growing up are two different things that are one. =(

Wish someone gave me a warning ><

17 August 2009

Do you put a freaking music video on blogger anyway???

A video from youtube I mean ><

Anyway, until someone tells me how, I'll just put the link.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfR7EHvX0_U

Our local music scene is really good =D

They're just unappreciated =(

16th August 2009

Next stop?

Study for my summative T.T

Added on with the celeb for Yee Wen's departure. But, Tsing and Lai Mun aren't here =(

Lolz. I've noticed that the size of gatherings with old friends are getting smaller in number.
Less people are around to disturb, I mean, hang out with.

But with new places and new experiences, comes with new people to disturb, I mean, hang out with. =D

For example...

In the library,

Its fun to disturb, I mean, study with people like Wolf who has a truck load of colour pens =D
And people like Aku when he looks so blur and sometimes you get to hear unbelievable stories of how he got locked out of his own car twice.
With Yi Wen, we can always tease Aku together =D

With E Li, you can always make fun of her. And just...study with her. Yes, study. What else can I do other than bullying, er, I mean, studying with her?

Then there's Esther, Guan Teck and Kevin. Tsk tsk. Guan teck is so easy to bully especially if Esther's around =P

So, by moving on, we get to meet new people. Experience the world, and overcome hardships along the way =)

Hardships are just a part of life. We confront it, and conquer it!

Summative? HERE I COME!

15th August 2009

This 101st is dedicated to Dianne.

As she's mentioned in her blog, this time, it really feels like she's leaving.
The previous time she was only gone for about half a year.

Now she's leaving for a good 2 whole years; which by then, I might be overseas.

><

And she's leaving in approx. 1 hour + time. Its already 9.54pm.

This was us before you left the last time.

Sorry I couldn't send you off this time =(

Take care and all the best =)

Words are not needed amongst the best of friends~
quoted by Me.

Haha.

As proven by how we manage to win every pictionary ;D

Steph...apparently you need to spend more time with Sarah. Haha.

13th August 2009

Went out the whole day of both days.

Thanks for everything guys! I love you guys! =)

Thanks to the PM4-ians for the huge cake xD
It was almost spoilt to Carr Men when you guys walked past her but she's so blur anyway. Lala~

Thanks to Dianne, Sarah, Steph and Pui Man for taking time to watch me eat is Zenmai sushi. HAHA. While I slowly savour my food xD
And for playing pictionary. *Steph, remember coughing?*
And for playing that ridiculously hard and creepy boardgame. AND, thanks aunty, *sarah, if u're reading this, help me remind your mum once again* for making me the traitor.
And for staying up till 2am to finish the game.

Not to mention kicking me out to the balcony. Alone. At night. With only my plant and Tigger to keep me company =(

Lolz.

And that was on the 8th.

On the 9th, Jun Beng had a gathering for Dianne's farewell. Benjamin, Hong Kheng, and Sarah came along too.
We watched G.I Jones =)

Which was...okla...
The best part was to make fun of Jun Beng. Maybe it was a good thing Stephen wasn't there and Hong Kheng had to leave early.

Otherwise, Jun Beng might be teased so much he might be suicidal.

Carr Men, THERE'S your patient.

xD


Once again. THANKS SO MUCH GUYS!

Pictures will be uploaded when i'm not lazy xD

9.8.2009

I'm no longer the timid and quiet 'freak' that I was a few years ago.

Wow. Now whenever you mention that Pei Li used to be quiet, you'd get the ' What the heck are you talking about' look.

xD

Don't know if its a good thing or not >_>

3.8.09

Is the question that Li Zhen typed.

That question strikes deep in me, as I too wonder...

What DOES love mean?

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
CSU tomorrow at 10.30am =(
Having breakfast with Sarah at 8!

Since Dianne, Steph and Pui Man FFK-ed us =(

YOU OWE US FOOD!!! D=
Especially Milo, eggs and toast~

Yum....

I'm hungry =(

And its only 11.52pm on the 2nd of August 2009

=(

Haha.

To diss all robbers --"

This week was the most cheh one ever --"

I lost 100 bucks, and my bro got his whole bag stolen. In it, there's his handphone.

..................................................................................................

Sigh.

What has the world come to --"

2nd August 2009

This year, we've said goodbye to two great icons.

The first was Michael Jackson.
Well, eventhough everyone said he's a little...eccentric and stuff, nobody can deny he was great at his prime.

And his prime was during my childhood.

May he rest in peace despite the recent controversy over his death regarding the drugs given to him.

The next was Yasmin Ahmad.
She was one of Malaysia's greatest icons, producing touching advertisements and movies alike.
When I was young, I used to look forward to her commercials during the festive seasons. Her commercials were so thought provoking and touching that it really was a treat to watch it.

Of course I must admit I have not watched the past 1-2 years due to the fact Astro rarely screens it and I must add that I greatly regret that. At least I can still watch it on youtube.

But it looks like right now that may not be possible in the future...

May she rest in peace too....

30th July 2009

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!

It all started when I stupidly left my wallet in the library by accident. After lectures, Li Zhen, Aku and I were supposed to meet up with B-comfort over the orientation T-shirts.

It was handed over to the admin department but when I got it back I lost 100 dollars with it =(
THEN, we had to get stuck in a ridiculously long jam on the way home for about and hour plus; reaching IMU at about 7++, nearly 8.

THEN, the ticket thing in the basement said I didn't pay when I paid 9 FREAKING DOLLARS.

Then the guards were trying to decide if I was lying or not and I waited till 8pm for them to come to a conclusion that I wasn't trying to trick IMU of its overpriced 9 dollars.

--"

So many things to complain, but it sounds so unfair that I'm here complaining when other people might have it worse =(

So if you've just had a worse day than me I'm sorry I'm complaining.

Just need to let loose some steam right now ><

Sob sob. My money T______T

Now I'll need to diet for quite some time.

27th July 2009

ITS FRIDAY!!! =D

I'M HIGH!! =D

On...lack of sleep >_>

its 12.12am. Haha.

And to prove that i'm random..

I MISSED THE FREAKING SOLAR ECLIPSE! WTH WTH WTH WTH WTH WTH WTH!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

I ALSO MISSED THE BON ODORI!!!

WTH WTH WTH WTH!!

T________________T

Some1 cheer me up with ice cream =(

Cuz i'm officially depressed =(

Hint: I like cookies and creams =D

24th July 2009

Going to be a crazy week for me. Haha.

Rushed to IMU today for my PBL @_@
Worst part was that the printer was...i dunno. Ask the two girls in front of me crowding the printer while I was already late for PBL. Ended up being mute throughout the whole thing.

Lectures started late as the Orientation committee were recording footage for the whole thing. And as I ran down to pay my parking, it was already 2 minutes over the hour!! GAH. Had to pay an extra dollar since I was too lazy to walk up already by then.

I have CSU tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed for a nice doctor T_T
Horrible tales have been told. Haha. Also, I need to hand in my report by tomorrow T_T

AAAAAnddd...I'm still lazy. haha. Still need to locate time to study too T_T

Sob. And its only CVS!!! What with the diff conditons of heart attacks and drugs. I'm amazed my brain can remember so much stuff.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
So many things to do, so little time.

Sigh.

On a side note, I'm currently high on chocolate :D

CHOCO GOOODDDD =D

On another happy note...I have all the Reborn! starting and ending themes!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
TAKE THAT!

Hmmm..now which anime should I choose to get all the songs? xD
I was thinking of Nodame. The songs are really nice =D

But I want songs that are non emo-ish. Sheesh. Just when I was on a happy high on chocolate, all my emo songs kinda drooped my mood a little.

People! Please give or intro more upbeat songs to me! Haha. I have so many emo songs that anyone whom is suicidal would have already comitted suicide already.

21st July 2009

Throughout my whole entire life, I have already said goodbye to a person.

And I've always hoped that it'd be the last goodbye I'd ever say.

She was always kind to me, always giving me an extra smile.
Encouraging me to talk in front of her when I was feeling shy.
Giving me presents knowing how few I used to get back then.

We weren't well off, but we were thriving.

Then, I had to say goodbye.
I was so young I didn't understand it back then. Now, I do.

I only wish that I could see you now, and show you how big I've grown up to be.
Show you how tall my brother is right now despite the age gap.

To show you that I can speak measly hokkien.

To tell you that the reason I stopped playing the piano is because I have no audience to listen to me play.

To tell you that it has always been my childhood dream to learn every main component of the musical instruments.
One string, one brass, one woodwind and one percussion.

Which means, I've always wanted to at least learn how to play, a violin, a trumpet, a flute and a harp.

And so far, I have yet to learn it nor express my wish to learn it to my family. How would they react? Would they think that I'm already taking things for granted? These instruments don't come cheap afterall.

To tell you that one of my other childhood dreams is to be athletic. It will never happen. My stamina is as bad as an obese sloth.

But I digress.

Don't really know what to say anymore. But...many things have changed back home.

Always take care of yourself.

With love,

PeiLi

The debate on whether should science and maths be taught in english is out.

They're reverting back to BM again --"

For us who are no longer in school, it might not affect us in any other way.

HOWEVER, give a thought to my brother who will learn all the sciences in MALAY after being taught all of it in english since his primary school.

Not only will this change be USELESS, its also cumbersome and troublesome.

He'll need to study it in ENGLISH anyway once he graduates high school.

http://chedet.co.cc/chedetblog/

People, go there and VOTE.

Or alternatively,

www.pagemalaysia.blogspot.com

C'mon people, do your part and voice out your concerns. WE DO NOT NEED THIS CHANGE AT ALL.

Am I pissed? HELL YEAH!

Of course the pics are just mainly recycled ones ><

I miss you already Mel =(

You too lai mun and Tsing =(

Waaaaaaaa!

I shall now attempt to be not funny and upload a hilariously ridiculous picture that will make your day.

*Truth is I can't find the pics anymore but you guys didn't hear that*



Presenting.........


THE KING~~

=D

...........................

Ok that wasn't funny.
Haha.

><

Sorry. PBL's getting to my head.

I'd like to wish....

MelC a belated happy birthday...

Pui Man a belated happy birthday...

And

Shyh Min a happy birthday!

At least I didn't miss out on ONE bday T.T

Enjoy my beautiful penguin picture taken in Maldives =D

I'm sure my penguin enjoys and loves the attention *winks*
