Something in my heart

I like the song Enchanted by Taylor Swift. She was singing exactly what I'm feeling in my heart right now.

Especially the phrase:'' Please don't be in love with someone else. Please don't have somebody waiting on you." This is exactly what I'm wishing for but deep in my heart, I know this will never be true.

Enchanted by Taylor Swift

There I was again tonight, forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old, tired place lonely place
Walls of insincerity, shifting eyes and vacancy
Vanished when I saw your face

All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you

Your eyes whispered, "Have we met?" across the room, your silhouette
Starts to make its way to me
The playful conversation starts, counter all your quick remarks
Like passing notes in secrecy

And it was enchanting to meet you
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonder-struck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you

The lingering question kept me up, 2 a.m., who do you love?
I wonder 'til I'm wide awake
Now I'm pacing back and forth, wishing you were at my door
I'd open up and you would say

It was enchanting to meet you
All I know is I was enchanted to meet you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonder-struck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

This night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonder-struck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you

This is me praying that

This was the very first page, not where the storyline ends
My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again
These are the words I held back as I was leaving too soon
I was enchanted to meet you

Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you
Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonder-struck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

This night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonder-struck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you

Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you

Hesitation

It's MMU registration day tomorrow. The long wait is over but I feel hesitate to go.

I went to clean my hostel this afternoon and was shocked to find that I'm the only one in the whole unit. I hope there will be other people moving in tomorrow.

I was still thinking of the possibility of skipping the orientation. Should I skip since I'm kind of an introvert person. I don't know how to mix and get along with other people I don't know.

SHH~!! My parents will kill me if they find out. :D

I guess I should attend the orientation for the time being and see how things goes. :)

Like a Star by Taeyeon(SNSD)

This is another of my favourite song from  SNSD Taeyeon feat The One.

Here are the lyrics:

Se sang eo neu go se geu dae sum deo ra do
Na neun geu dael cha ja nael su ga i sseo yo
Geu dae ga eob da myeon
Geu dae ga eob da myeon
Nae shim jang eun ddwi ji an eu ni gga

Ma eum eu ro na neun al su ga it jyo
Geu dae man it da myeon
Geu dae man it da myeon
A mu geot do nan pi ryo eom neun de

You’re My Everything To Me
You’re My Everything To Me

Ha neu rye byeol cheo reom hwan ha ge bi chwo ju ri
Geu dae neun na man ye sa rang

Seul peum eom neun se sang e seo u ri

Taeyeon - I Love You (Athena OST)

I love Taeyeon's voice a lot. Like this song so much! Jjang~

As for Athena, I've never watch this drama before but from what I see in the music video, some of the scenes reminds me of Iris(another big hit drama in 2009). In fact, this drama is a little related to Iris.

I can still remember how Iris made me glued to the television whenever a new episode is aired.

Anyway, this music video is nice.

Orientation countdown

Counting down the days......3 days more!

3 more days to MMU orientation. I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad.

Happy because I can't finally start studying after so many months.

Sad because there'll be no more long holidays.

I wonder if I can skip the orientation if I find it boring. :)

The Harmony Silk Factory review

Finally finished reading the book, The Harmony Silk Factory.

This story, moves in a slow pace, is set in Malaya (now known as Malaysia). It tells the story of Johnny Lim, textile merchant, petty crook and inventor of the Amazing Toddy Machine, and his marriage to the beautiful Snow Soong.

In 1940, with the Japanese about to invade Malaysia, Johnny and Snow embark on their honeymoon to the mysterious Seven Maiden Islands, accompanied by a mercurial Japanese professor and Petter Wormwood, an Englishman adrift. Many years later, Wormwood looks back on this defining journey, while Snow's son goes in search of the truth of his mother and the infamous Chinese man he married.

The story is delivery in a unique way through three characters : Snow's son, Snow(through her diary) and Peter Wormwood. The most interesting of all I should say is Peter's.

Although set in Malaya with the Japanese about to invade, there's nothing much said about the war.

I wouldn't say this is the best story I've read so far. It's nice but certainly not my favourite.

My favourite books so far would be The Rice Mother, My Sister's Keeper, The Hobbit and The Bondmaid.

I'm currently reading The Lighthouse Keeper. Still halfway through though so can't say much about it. So far so good. Many tragedies happened it seems.

Not a very pleasing hairstyle

My head is not very roundish so mum suggested that I should do some zig-zag perm underneath my hair to make my head looked rounder.

I accepted her suggestion and all I can say is I'm not very pleased with my hair.

I waited for 1 hour 30 minutes. Sitting there, looking here and there and (or rather staring?) at everyone in the shop, eavesdropping their conversation while I pretended to be engrossed with the magazines.

Cut + perm= rm90.

It's quite cheap actually. I guess that's what I'll get for my hair.

Changing my hairstyle soon~

I'm going to change my hairstyle tomorrow. Cut + perm.

Anticipate yet nervous about the outcome. What if it's ugly? Better not. I'm gonna dig a hole if it's ugly.

*** *** ***

I'm getting used to my new look of me and my braces. The pain too had reduces.

Books I've read during my holidays

Whee~~

About a week left until MMU orientation day. Got to start packing my things up before my parents start nagging at me.

I had been reading storybooks for the past few weeks.

Empress Orchid written by Anchee Min is one of my favourite books. The ending doesn't seems like an ending probably because the story continues in The Last Empress. The story revolves about a girl name Orchid who grew up in a poor family. She then got chosen to become a concubine and entered the Forbidden City. The story continues with her life as a concubine in the Forbidden City.

Well, this is a very short description I've given here. More like a bad summary. Pardon me as I'm not very good at describing stories.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad is another book I read. It's not a storybook. It's more like a book that educates people on financial subjects. Like how to make use of your financial intelligence along with some of the author's past experience as an example.

I'm currently reading a storybook title The Harmony Silk Factory by Tash Aw. I'm still half way through the book. I'm not sure if it's nice but the story seems ok though. Have to wait until I finish reading it.

There's also this book called The Glass Palace by Amitav Ghosh. It's a story that sets between Burmese, India and Malaya during the Second World War. I read it halfway and gave up because it somehow bores me.

*** *** ***

I went to Mahkota Parade, a shopping center yesterday for some window shopping. Somehow, I ended up stepping into Tai Kuang bookstore, and discovered a section where dozens of second-hand books are sold at a very cheap price. Ranging from rm8.90 to rm16.90. So there I was, spending almost an hour browsing and flicking through dozen of books, wondering which book is nice and whether I should buy one. It was until my mum phoned me. It's time for me to go back. In a rush, I simply fished a book from a random rack and read the first page. It seems nice. I decided to buy it because the condition of the book is still good and it comes with a cheap price. Only rm9.90. I hope the story is nice. The book I bought was The Lighthouse Keeper.

No free movies for me

Sister broke her promise. Boohoo~ We didn't went to to watch any free movies although we've printed the tickets because we're too tired after spending the whole morning cleaning and tidying the house. What a waste.

It's Wesak day tomorrow. I'm going to the wesak procession which takes place annually later with my sister.

Painful and impatient

I can't wait to take off my braces. Oh wait, didn't I just put it on yesterday?

Oh god please help me. Sometimes I just feel like tearing of the braces. Please let me be more patient. All I have to do is just bear it for 2 years. ( OMG! 2 years! )

The braces are rubbing against my cheeks, inflicting pain each time I try to talk or eat, not to say smile.

I wonder how am I going to face orientation. I can't smile. I can't talk( well, I can mumble ).

Gosh... feel like digging a hole and jump inside.

Oh no~ braces!

It took an hour for the orthodontist to put on the braces on my teeth. Lying on the patient chair while the orthodontist trying to fix the brackets on my teeth, I suddenly had the urge to close my eyes and sleep. But I know I can't so I tried to stay awake by forcing myself to recall songs I've listened to. I became more alert after that. Luckily I didn't fell asleep.

I couldn't smile or laugh properly after that. My smile looks so awkward that it looks like I'm faking it but actually I'm not. Hours after wearing the braces my mouth began to sore. Ouch man~

There's barely anything that's edible for me. Only porridge and oats and porridge and oats. *sigh*

The worst thing is I have to eat these for about 2 to 3 months. Hello! Am I on diet? Kind of.

I couldn't sleep well at night because of the irritating sore from braces. I struggled to sleep and struggled to wake up in the morning. My eyes are so tired right now.

I looked weird with braces and dark eye circles. This makes me wonder what kind of first impression will people get from me during the orientation week? My sister jokingly said I looked like a drug addict. Duh~

Anyway, I'm going to the cinema later with my sister for some free movies. I hope I don't sleep in the cinema. :P

Putting on braces

I'm so excited! I'll be wearing braces tomorrow!

At last at the age of 19.

Although it seems like it's a little too old for braces but it's not too late.

It may be awkward for me to be still wearing braces in university but at least the braces will be removed before I graduate and I'll have a set of beautiful teeth.

Muahahaha~!!!!

A special dream

I can't believe I dreamt about Leeteuk and Jang Geun Suk yesterday. Both of them visited my house.

Oh my god, I'm super duper happy about it. I've never dreamt of any idol before. Both Leeteuk and Jang Geun Suk are my favourite.

Leeteuk is doing a duet with Joo from JYP Entertainment. I've never imagine that he'll have a duet. I'm so happy and excited about it.

Chris Medina - What Are Words

This song touched my heart and made me shed a tear. This is the beauty of the song. His sincerity is felt through the song. Nice song indeed!

Another catchy song from SNSD

This is the song that has made me go addicted since last month.

It's a very catchy song.

Mr.taxi~taxi~taxi~

But I love Yuri and Sooyoung's part the most.

Does korean idols study?

If you're not a k-pop fan, you've probably heard of SNSD or Girl's Generation. It's a group that has nine members and blah~ blah~ blah~~~

It was until now that I'm aware about their age. Their age gap was between 20 to 22. That means all of them should be still studying in university.

With their popularity and hectic schedule, I wonder how are they suppose to study?

My guess is they must be constantly skipping classes. With all the busy schedule, I believe their grades are .. erm... just average? Or even worst? These girls can't even get to enjoy their university life!

Sorry...I'm just using SNSD as an example since they're very popular right now.

By the way, they're currently promoting their new album.

You can view it here.

Accepted by MMU

Woohoo~ I got accepted by MMU. My university life is going to start soon. 29 May 2011 marks the end of my stupid-boring-nothing-to-do life at home. I'm looking forward to it right now.

It's compulsory to wear formal throughout the orientation week so that means I have to start looking for formal dresses. I was reluctant to accept the fact at first but if it's made compulsory then there must be a reason for it. I better look good in it.

I wonder how many people is in my batch this year. Last year's record was 500. So I guess it should be around 500.

I'm so excited about meeting new friends. I wonder what kind of people I'll meet. I was drown in total boredom because none of my friends are available to hang out with me. All of them were too busy with their studies.

Besides, I'll be staying away from home. Away for the nagging.

Hmm.... let me count. 19 days more to freedom! :)

Back to blog

It's been a long time, more than a month since my last post. My house is under renovation again. Mind my word : AGAIN. *sigh*... and so I've been busy helping my mum cleaning the house everyday for about a month. It's hard staying in the house for the whole day when your house is undergoing renovation. All the loud banging noises were driving me crazy.

I promised myself that I would post a blog a day but it seems that I failed to do so. So I'll be posting a few blogs for today.

Oh, MMU had accepted me and offered me foundation in management so I'll be studying there next month. I'm gonna start studying soon! Yay~!

However, my friend warned me that studying in MMU is boring and told me not to put my hopes too high but I don't care. I'm dead bored staying at home doing nothing for 8 months! YAWN~~
