A 2 Z

P/s: This article was initially written on 23rd May 2007, and continues on 8th July 2007.

A – Addict

Coffee, Minesweeper, Sudoku, Sleep. I’m a coffee addict. Enough said :> Brain triggering turned into instinct games --- Minesweeper & WebSudoku --- am addicted to these two games. Can click click click in front of the pc whole day. :p As of my blog description ~ Sleeping Buddha’s miniature garden ~ I’m a person who’s obsess with sleep :”> Also, astrology reading ;)

Update: Currently I manage to cut down my coffee consumption already :> Still playing Minesweeper but not WebSudoku, coz seldom can online for a long time.

B – Blur

This would be the best word describing me. :-<>

C – CSI Las Vegas

The only English drama series that I chase. I’ve watched Season 1-4 and 7. If given the chance sure I would love to watch Season 5&6 :) But but…no more CyberTracker :(

D – Debate

I was once a member of Voices MMU for about half-year. Joined the club after participating in the events organizing --- Longest Debate & MMU Worlds 2005. I’ve got one and only one debating experience outside MMU. It’s some kinda debating for local-U, held at UiTM Shah Alam. Francis and me stopped going for training after Dengz graduated :p

E – Emotional swing

I’m a person with rapid emotional swing sometimes. Can feel sad/happy in just a minute, or even seconds interval.

F – Florinna

My full name is Florinna + ‘my surname’, only. Normally people will ask me “Is this your full name? Please write it in full if it isn’t.” I’ll say “Yes it is.” But some people will further insisted me to write down my full name like in my IC, even after I mentioned that that’s my full name :| Then, people will proceed to ask “How come no ‘behind name’ one?” I’ll say “I don’t know, have to ask my mom --- she gave me this name” -_-’’ And, I’m usually the common target for teachers, coz of this short-and-easy-pronounced name.

G – Graduating

Gonna leave my university life very soon – 3 days, including today (22th May).

Update: I graduated, now waiting for convocation on 11th – 13th August 2007.

H – Hair

I had long hair from Primary 3 to Form 2, then short hair since then till Beta year. Most of my friends who’d viewed my ID pic (during Alpha) will have the same kind of reaction normally – LOL -_-’’’ Some say they can’t recognize me, and would’ve thought that it’s another person if I didn’t mention hehehehe..

I – Interests

I have considerable wide interests in music, movie and certain sports. Music – English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Malay (local + Indonesia), rock, sentimental, R&B, duet etc. – I tapao all as long as they suit my ears’ taste :> Movie – action, romance, fiction, scientific, ghost – my eyes accept all also if they fit perfectly. For sports, I played Ping-Pong & basketball (even I was very short that time…ngek ngek) during Primary; badminton during Secondary; lil’ half-tong swimming + jogging during Uni life.

J – Job

Been working for 3 weeks already, so far so good. Still coping with the working environment and learning all that I can about the job scopes. The good thing is I get to know a new bunch of great people, be it seniors or new hires :D

K – K-koh aka Sing-K

I love sing-K, but now it’s hard to find the allowable time and common members (ruyuan, yingxuan, ruqing etc. — all scatter @different places) Also, Kuching don’t have Galaxy, RedBox, GreenBox or Neway :| Even there’s Karaoke but I’m pretty sure the rate would be a lot more expensive than in West M’sia.

L – Last minute

My bad habit – always complete my task(s) last minute. Trying to eliminate it now.

M – Myself

Smile vs Serious: When I’m not smiling, I look very serious. So I think I have to walk around with this face -> :) Pity my face muscles… I enjoy talking nonsense also, when I’m in a stress mode – my imagination will run really wild and I can talk simply anything.

N – Naruto

I fall in love with this anime when my friend showed it to me few years back. I used to chase it till 3am in the morning :p My watching trend: Chase – Stop (pc can’t support) – Chase – Stop (now – coz no source anymore.. haihh) I watched till Shippuuden15 only.

O – October

I’m an October baby ;)

P – Persistent

When I’m putting 100% heart + mind + effort into something, I won’t give up easily. I’ll keep on trying and trying when I fail. This only applies to the things that interest me :>

Q – Questions

I like to ask questions since I was a child. Why like this? Why like that? Why leh? Why why why? Till people turn speechless/answer-less and wana knock my head.

R – Race

I’m the product of mixed marriage -- dad Chinese, mom Bidayuh (one of the ethnics in Sarawak, just Google Search to know more) :p

S – Sensitive & Sense of security

I have a very sensitive feeling --- which often makes me feel hurt easily, but people wouldn’t notice it. And, I need strong sense of security. I know I shouldn’t think too much, but I just can’t help it. It’s inherent in me.

T – Traits

Traits that I look up to in a person --- considerate, trustworthy, and honesty. The quality I look for in a friend is always being considerate to others around. Sometimes, I find myself can hardly bear with inconsiderate people; I’ll dislike them and avoid contact with them. “Always put ourselves in other’s shoes before we try to do something that might affect others” – the sentence that I’m still learning to put it into daily practices. Not to mention, I value honesty and trustworthy importantly

U – University

Never thought of studying till Uni when I was younger, but now I’m standing here, completing my 5 years Engineering courses already. It seems like a dream when looking back.

V – Value

I value my friends & family a lot.

W – Weirdo

I think I’m weird.

X – X-ray

I’ve had two injuries that require stitches during my kindergarten (age 5 – 6), from two separate incident. One on knee; one on upper part of my forehead. Yeah, I WAS a naughty girl. ;)) Only the head injury required X-ray though, to confirm that my brain didn’t sway from its original place.

Y – Yahoo Messenger?

My user id is ****_face, can’t disclose the 4 letters in front loh :) It’s a result of typo error though :”> Initially I was planning to use faze instead of face. Only notice it after I’ve signed up and sign-in to yahoo mail :| I know I know, sounds ridiculous right? It’s truer than pearl, believe it.

Z – Z-transform?

Just kidding, am off to perform my holy duty as a Sleeping Buddha :> zzZzZZzzz (ideas from Gan & Won).

Update: DSP has gone far far away from me…no more z-transform wakakakakka >:)

Moving into a new life stage

Alot have happened in the past month...

I've graduated, i.e. finished my *final* exams on 24th May and officially checked-out from the campus hostel that I've stayed for 4 yrs on 27th May.

Many thanks to Yeejen, Mingyih and hanlun for letting me tumpang-ing at their place while I was homeless :p ~27th - 28th May~

*******Tedious passport making journey*******
25th May -- ruyuan & sweewon intended to bring me to do my passport at Damansara Immigration department, but delayed by the photo taking session :|

28th May -- ruyuan brought me to Kajang Immigration department, but the nombor giliran for that day finished when I was trying to get it at around 11am :|

29th May -- I followed ruyuan back to Ipoh, planning to do my passport there. We reached Ipoh around 3 and went straight to the Immigration department. Waited for about 20mins and it's my turn already. Me and ruyuan were so happy coz it's too smooth to be true. In the end, the officer told me: "both your parents are Sarawakian, so if you wana apply your passport here, you can only get it after 1 or 2 months :| another option would be going back to Kuching to do :| We both were truly speechless :| :| We did ask a friend who's more familiar with this passport matter about the duration required and the answer we get is still 1 or 2 months :(

30th May -- I had no choice but to go back Kuching to settle my damn troublesome passport matter. I gotta do it on or before 31th May, as 1st June(Fri) was public hol for Gawai while 4th June(Mon) was replacement public hol for Yang di-Pertuan Agong birthday :| Took a flight on 30th nite -- 5pm delayed to 6:45pm :|

31st May -- Woke up early in the morning and stormed to Kuching Immigration department, I told myself I ain't gonna miss it this time, never!! Got the 2nd number 0002 and kaotim everything in 15mins time -- took number, process my particulars, finger print detection and payment. But...but...the passport can only be collected on 5th June :| :| waaaaaaaa cry no tears d :(( Called the tour agent and luckily, she said can fax my photocopy passport over on 5th June, else m gonna miss my trip #:-S

5th June -- Woke up early again, and when i reached the Immigration department, the whole office's computers were offline :| Not again, speechless!! Waited for another 1 and a half hour.. but I managed to have a nice chat with a lady who's waiting to collect her passport also :) We got our numbers 0003 and 0004. All were smooth until my turn. I tried to get my finger print detected, who knows the officer suddenly told me: "seems like the computer system got problem again.." I went "HAR?!" Really frustrated! Fortunately the system resumed when they restart the program *whew!!* my oh my... crying dry tears I am -_- the moment I collected my passport, I felt that I'm truly alive again, after all these tiring days... all my body cells were extremely excited muahahhahahaha... I can't feel any better :p :p :p hehehe

~ Special thanks to ruyuan and sweewon for the unconditional help offered when I needed it the most :) ~

******Passport making officially Ended!******

Went back to KL on 5th nite itself -- 6:45pm flight, again postponed to 9:40pm as usual -- now everyone can wait ;)) Then proceeded for Taiwan trip with my bunch of friends on 7th June :)>- Came back M'sia on 12th June and back Kuching on yest (15th June).

The first 2 days of the TAiwan trip wasn't that enjoyable as it kept raining. We had to wear rain coat or use umbrella while shopping :| who'd enjoy that? But luckily the following few days it rain no more :D Another drawback would be the lengthy time spent in bus, our butts were sore and we didn't dare to drink too much water as it's hard to find toilet at some places, and the bus only stopped after approximately 2 hours of journey.

However, all in all, I still enjoy the trip --- as for me, the companion matters more than anything *wink* I treasured the time spent together with my buddies, coz we're parting our own ways after this trip, and move on with our new life, be it working, further studies or others...

M gonna start working next Monday, 18th June. Wish me luck ;) new work new life new beginning huh?!

To my beloved friends, all the best in all you guys' future undertaking. Do keep in touch and take care always!~ Remember to email /+ sms /+ call me!!! blekkk :p

What happen?!

What happen to us?


Students sell bodies for handphone prepaid cards
"She would ask her men friends to buy her a RM10 prepaid card for her phone before going out with them and then, later, taken to a “port” to have sex."

MCA: Maybank move discriminatory
"...its requirement to law firms that it must have at least three bumiputra partners, one of whom must have a 50% stake, before these firms can do any business with the bank."

Red Devils' trip to Malaysia is off
" Manchester United officials are confident that the club’s planned summer tour of Asia will go ahead despite being told they would not be welcome in Malaysia in July because of fears their visit could distract attention from the finals of the Asian Cup."

Terengganu to ease polygamy rules
"Those who now intend to take a new wife are no longer required to seek the green light from their current spouses.

State Islam Hadhari and Welfare committee chairman Abdullah Che Muda told The Starthat this would give opportunities for single ladies in the state to have their own families."

Groups slam MPs for making sexist ‘joke’ against women
"On Wednesday, Opposition Leader Lim Kit Siang had raised the matter of leaks at the entrance to the media centre in Parliament when backbenchers Datuk Mohd Said Yusof (BN-Jasin) and Datuk Bung Mokhtar Radin (BN-Kinabatangan) said: “Where is the leak? The member for Batu Gajah also leaks once a month.”

They were let off the hook, however, on Thursday as Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Ramli Ngah Talib rejected Fong’s motion to refer them to the Rights and Privileges Committee, on the grounds that she should have filed it when the remarks were made.

Following the controversy, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Abdul Aziz had said the words were not offensive and that it was a normal play on words."

Said refuses to apologize
" Mohd Said was quoted as saying that he did not need to apologise because his bocor tiap-tiap bulan juga (leaks every month, too) statement did not mean a woman’s period.

...

“Who says that it means the menstruation cycle? Bocor can be translated into different things.

“Besides the leaks in the Parliament building, it can also mean to urinate.

“Apologise to Fong Poh Kuan? What is there to apologise for? I did not mean to offend her or other women,” he said when contacted by the daily on Saturday.

He said he was referring to the ceiling leaks in the Parliament building."


*All info are credited to theStar online*



Please observe the reason given by FAM on the football tour, in Terengganu a man no longer needs to seek permission from first wife for polygamy, the synonym word games played by MP (this does not mean that or that...) to avoid consequences of unthoughtful words uttered etc.

It's sad, to see Malaysia gradually, or even drastically, degrading backward day by day. I doubt will Vision 2020 be a realizable vision, or stays as it is, just a vision. I certainly hope that would not happen.


Update (18th May, 2:02pm) : MPs make public apology to all women

On a side-note, just realize this --- "Besides the leaks in the Parliament building, it can also mean to urinate." --- Just wondering, how may a person only urinate ONCE a month? Weird.

Ipoh Trip: Part 1 Eat eat eat!

27th April (Friday) - Afternoon
The ever so smooth Tau fu fa!


Drive thru - cars are stopping by to eat+drink tau fu fa, soya milk , and "hak pak" (cincau + soya milk) in the car and drive-off after finished. See the cars are queuing?


28th April (Saturday) - Morning
The famous dim sum spot in Ipoh.








Many people come and go, just to eat the dim sum. People basically wait beside the table to get their seats.


One of the "dim sum car". When it passes by, stop it and order whatever you want, then the person in charge will take it to you and record down the dim sum taken in the receipt. Sometimes need to initiate and go find the "dim sum car" desired - didn't get to eat "siew mai" here.


The receipt.


Receipt - note the quantity written on the left columns, that's marked by the person in charge of each "dim sum car".


28th April (Saturday) - Night
The well-known chicken tauge (ngah choi kai) in Ipoh - Lou Wong - opens at evening & night only.


The chicken meat. Yx said the skin is the most special delicious part, but I just ate 1 piece of it :p I dislike all kinds of skin :">


The "hor fun" - kuey tiow - I love this the most! Yummy!


The Ipoh "fei2 fei2 duan3 duan3" (fat fat short short) - quoted Yx" tauge.


29th April (Sunday) - Morning
Nan Siang White Coffee shop at Ipoh Old Town.


3 of us (hk, ry and me) finished this off, "siew mai" is eaten thus not included in the pic hehe. It's mostly me and hk eating only...ry just eat a lil' here and there. Eat till very full. The egg tarts are delicious when served hot and freshly baked. The kuey tiow goreng also nice - ry said the kuey tiow stall is specially imported to Hong Kong by a food franchise or sth like that. One imperfection, the Hakka Mee is so-so only :p :p

The kopi is kao ahh!


To be continue ~ places visited.

P/s: Special credit to ruyuan and yingxuan for bringing me and hueykein around :* muakss!

Argghhhh ga ga ga

I’m seriously exhausted…!!!

Been sleeping for 4 hrs + + only (morning 5:15 I think, till morning 9:29, 16th April), and haven’t been sleeping until now, 12:59am 17th April.

Pimples have been popping out freely on my face too. And my eyes are qualified to be registered as the exotic panda eyes already @_@

Not enough of that, E-Nite is this coming Sunday…oh my face *arggghghghghhhhh*

Thesis belum habis lagi, banyak nak tulis tu…adui *pening pala aku* TolongggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggG
