Bad year???
A friend of mine recently told me that she had been having a really terrible year… From falling down, accidents, allergies till other unwanted stuffs happening
It really pains me to just watch her being plagued with all those sort of troubles… The feeling of helplessness is there once more… Feeling of being unable to help her or accompanying her to push through all these bad times… It pains me to be so… helpless
Sometimes I just wished that God could pass on all the troubles to me instead… At least then, I could be the one handling the problems and not the one being helpless watching the problems engulf others…
High School Musical 3
I managed to catch this movie a few days back…
Now frankly, being someone who hadn’t see the 1st and the 2nd movie and only like 2 of the songs in the movies, I wasn’t really putting any hopes on this movie… But found myself really wrong in the end..
Okay… A brief summary of what happens in the movie… Read on but there are spoilers present
The 3rd installment for HSM tells the story of the group in their senior years by which all of them has a big decision to make… Where to go after their high school… They also met up for one final musical play (which is very well done)… And how Troy and Gab managed to overcome the odds of being away from each other in the end (or something like that)…
Now most of us may know that what makes HSM special compared to any other movies is the dance and songs used to tell the story as it progresses… And I’m really amazed by the songs used in this one…
I managed to get hold of a few of the songs from the OST and found it really enjoyable…
Lets see…The songs which I prefer more than the others
Now or Never… (esp loved how Gab entered the song halfway into the song… Her voice is really amazing… Gab: ‘You can do it, just know that I believe’)…
Can I have this dance… (Duet by Troy and Gab again… Love the chemistry between these two when they sang the song… Give off a feeling of falling in love… Imagine singing it with someone you like while dancing…)
A night to remember… (It’s a type of song which seems to play continuously in my mind… The tune is a bit addictive… Not too good for my health… Haha… But enjoyable nevertheless)
Just wanna be with you… (I like the Sharpay’s version a bit more than Gab… Maybe its due to her singing it with Jimmie)
Scream… (I can actually feel Troy’s feelings as he sang this song… The feeling of uncertainty… Actually applies to me I guess since I have a lot of moments like that… I feel as if I really have to escape from the unsettling uneasiness inside of me…)
Senior Year Spring Musical… (This Medley combines some of the songs from the whole movie… So we got Now or Never, I want it all, A night to remember, Just wanna be with you all… All in a song… But I really really love the opening for this song…
It’s our last chance, to share the stage
Before we go our separate ways
High school wasn’t meant to last forever
It’s our last chance, for us to shine
To bring you music one more time
It got me thinking about my recent convo… Its the last chance to be together before we set off on our own journey… Feel so emo at this point… I felt a lot here… Considering how ‘bad’ my convo went… Why couldn’t they make a full song with this tempo of this song??… And why couldn’t this movie come out before the convo… Sure I’ll bring others to watch as well…)
We’re all in this together (Graduation Mix)… (Slow tempo of the original… Music+ Scene of the graduation got me emo again… And the speech Troy gave somemore…)
High School Musical… (Last song played… Played after the ‘We’re all in this…’ I love this song as well… They are all so happy… Its like everything is so complete… So perfect… A perfect ending perhaps… Emo again… Haha… I’m also happy for the ending… Really… Gab: ‘I wish my life could feel like a…. High School Musical…’ Now wouldn’t we all like that… Stories with happy ending…)
I didn’t regret watching this… Seriously didn’t regret at all… Gab has an amazing voice… Really… Love her voice… Love the romance between Troy and Gab… Wanna do that in real life also… Can or not…?
Anyone going to watch again… Call me ya… Serious… Call me to see again…. I really feel like sharing this with others…
PKK Convocation ‘08
The PKK guys and girls had their convocation session a day after mine… And it was equally sad for some… Haiz… Dunno why everyone so sad during the convo…
After receiving a very special gift from Olivia, I decided to did what she did for the presents to Shirley and gang… But with the limited amount of time for the preparations, it was really quite a rushed…
Lets see… Olivia’s present to me was something like this
~Front~
~Back~
Honestly I was really touched receiving something like this… It really cheered me up a lot after that lousy day. I really love it… Thanks…
And feeling that… I did the same for the gifts to Shirley and gang…
First off… The photo… I knew they were going to go to the hall earlier that noon for a photo session so I went early with my camera as well…
Armed with it and my determination to do my best for these bunch of girls so as their convo won’t be too terrible, I took as many photos at as many different angles that I could.
The girls
~All very pretty, right??~
~YeLing was there as well~
And a final photo at the faculty
Their convo was ruined by the heavy rain and a bunch of small problems which in the end causes the proposed photo session in the faculty to only be attended by 4 persons… And at the same time cause others to feel hurt and sad due to the problem as well… Haiz… Everyone was so sad this time de…
After taking their photos, I rushed to Mines to buy some frame and then proceed to print out and fix the photo into the frames… All done within 3 hours, which really was a rush…
~The photo I used for their frames~
But receiving these types of message in return really made me feel the rush worthwhile..
It just a pity I couldn’t make sure that their session was a happy one as well…
I’m a sad graduate
I have officially graduated…
~Do I look good?~
And sadly the convo experience wasn’t really a joyful one… (We’ll get to that later)
We went early to the faculty to take some photos before the ceremony begun since we were afraid that I may rain later when we exit the hall…
~Me and MingSoon were the earliest there~
Thanks to Elaine for being there at the foyer to take photos for us… Really thanks a lot to you since out of the 3 juniors I called to come… Only you turned up… Really felt happy… Haha…
~Me and Elaine, my great grandjunior~
The gathering in the foyer was a small one since only a few of us turned up… Around 6 only… So the photo taking session wasn’t really long there since we kept on taking photos with the same person over and over again
~Me and sassy Mitsuki-cyan… Pretty rite??~
~The six of us outside our faculty… Yup… Faculty of Medicine and Health Science, UPM~
After that short bit of photo taking session, we finally move onwards to the hall for the ceremony… The ceremony was only interesting until you go on stage and taken the ’scroll’… Then all you can do is wait and watch other people take their ’scrolls’…
It was about 5pm when the ceremony ended and we exit the hall…
~We are finally graduates…~
~Us and our scrolls~
~Tina was very pretty also that day~
~Olivia came as well… Honestly… I’m very happy that she was able to come 
.. Thanks for remembering ya…~
~ChangPing, RiWen, KaiLeng and me~
~Labmate/ DotA player Darren came as well~
~Thanks to all seniors for coming as well…~
~And this was one of the last photos I took before the sad incident happen…~
Ok… How to begin…
Half an hour after we got out, my parents wanted to take the family photo which they had been pestering me all week to take… And I was very reluctant to go and take at the time cuz I know that I will be missing out on a lot of things if I leave now. I even said straight to their face a firm ‘No!’… But they insisted and sadly (and how much I actually regretted now) I went… The studio was just nearby, behind the hall… How I wished I actually stand firm with my decision and not go… Why??
Well… 20 minutes after that, the family photo was taken… I came out, admist multiple phone calls from friends asking where I was… And I saw it was raining… I move through the crowd… Looking for my coursemates but only managed to see some far off… Moving towards the parking lot… Some whom I had wanted to take photo with had already left while the rain got harder by each moment… Even Fiona, Iris, Joseph and family whom had came to see me (and called me multiple times) had also left… Its like because of my weakness to turn something down from my family (and I’m also very angry at them)… I missed out on being with those whom I wanted to be with…
I grow up in a family who likes to control what I do most of the time…A family whom for the past three years had only seen me few times… A family who won’t even practice hugging each other… vs A family of coursemates and CSSUPM, whom I grown to like and love being around… Whom taught me how to be close to others… How to hug others regardless of where we are at… A family whom had taken care of me these 3 years, a family whom had listened to me when I have problems and when I’m in difficulties… And I chose the former over the latter that day… Now I really feel regretful for that decision… Because on the day that I should have been happy… I felt sad instead… Being dragged to somewhere I didn’t like… And in the end, lost the chance to be with the ones who truly mattered.
On the bright side (Though that day would have been bright the whole time if it wasn’t for the above incident…), I managed to meet up with Cindy and KaeChing who came from UKM to see me… Very touched as well… Thanks
~KaeChing, WeeWee, Me and Cindy~
~Managed to take this photo with Natalia before she left~
~The remaining few coursemates that was still there when I came out of the studio~
Fast forward to the next day… HweiYee messaged me to ask me whether I have the group photos with everyone throwing their mortar board… And it dawned on me that I will never have the chance to take that photo with my coursemates… It was truly heartbreaking…
~Something I will never have the joy of experiencing with my coursemates… Damn…~
Felt that I missed something which will only happen once in a lifetime… And I’m really jealous for those who are in the photo… Can’t believe that I was so stupid…
Personal thoughts of the Annual General Meeting
Was in charge of the Election Committee for the recent CSSUPM Annual General Meeting and frankly I wasn’t really satisfied with a lot of things…
First off… The committee itself… Yup… Only this time its worst than Malaysian time… The EC itself was in a disarray… No fixed jobs for each of the members… No real help when I asked for it… Sweats… I don’t wanna be part of something like that… Cuz in the end, felt like there wasn’t really any cooperation…
Secondly… Attendence… It was pathetic… When I arrived… Which was around 3pm… The time it was supposed to start… I only see… 30+ members… Which includes the nominees and the retiring EXCO members.. Those who are there with nothing more than to vote was less than 10… Not to mention that some of the nominees couldn’t make it… Either they are absent a reason or just because they didnt wanna be elected… It’s really a headache you know… What does the Society really means to you?? And in the end everyone had to send out messages and then some have to drive out in the middle of the heavy rain to fetch you all… What la… Some even turned off their handphones and didn’t wanna answer their phones… How I wished I sent out an sms that day telling them that CSSUPM AGM is put on hold and will be put on probation and the activities including mass will be stopped.. And the society will most probably be closed down… And there won’t be anymore CSS… And sorts… Will those who didn’t come feel anything at all if it happened?? Was what happened in the camp just a moment thing…? Ish… Geram!!!
All in all… If this is your attitude towards the society… Then I really wonder why we need a society at all…
Convocation 2008
My convocation session will be on the 19th of October, afternoon session at the Dewan Besar UPM… Afternoon session means that I’ll go in before 2pm and will come out only at 5pm… Everyone is invited to come and wish me congratulations… Hahaha…
Genetics and memory
That was the title for my presentation for Medical Genetics this morning… Frankly I don’t think I did well at all… Considering the amount of time I put into the presentation, I’m surprised to have anything at all… Chose the title last Thursday… Started reading a few journals on Friday… Spent whole day out on Saturday to take my jubah and then for dinner with my coursemates before going to chapel… Then Sunday did some more reading in the morning before going for AGM which was from afternoon to night… Was too tired after that to do anything else… Didn’t managed to do much readup on Monday morning cuz of class and only managed to start again after the afternoon class at around 3pm…
Tried a new way of presentation… Read everything… Then make up my own slides and points… Its a lot better than reading the thing… Since this way I’ll have the basics understanding of what is what before I present…
But the bad part may be the complexity of the topic… I haven’t thought of reference for something like this to be so hard to come by… Ever thinking ‘Why do we forget things??’ Try searching up journals on that and try understanding it… Takes a lot of time…
Just glad that the presentation is over… Now I can focus more on getting graduated and on my long-halted project…

Dreaming of you
Back in Cameron… During the performance on the final night… I heard a song which sounds really familiar… I remembered asking Krystal what song was it but she didn’t know either…
I found the song this morning… And once I seen the name of the singer, instantly realized where I had heard it before…
Ladies and Gentlemen,
This song is called Dreaming of You, by Selena… If the name rings a bell then you might have known the story of this singer as well…
It sounded familiar because it was sung in one of the movies I watched… A movie called ‘Selena’ starring Jennifer Lopez and was critical in her rise to stardom…
Selena was on the verge of hitting mainstream popularity… when she was killed by her No.1 fan… The news obviously broken the hearts of many of her fans… It was reported that the number of mourners attending her funeral was in the 60 thousands (Wiki source)…
And I remember getting emotional watching the movie as well… Enjoy…
Dreaming of you- Selena
Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I’d stay up and think of you
And I’d wish on a star
That somewhere you are thinking of me too
Cuz I’m dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I’ll be holding you tight
And there’s nowhere in the world I’d rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming about you and me
Wonder if you even see me
And I wonder if you know I’m there
If you looked in my eyes
Would you see what’s inside?
Would you even care?
I just wanna hold you close
But so far, all I have are dreams of you
So, I wait for the day and the courage to say
How much I love you(Yes, I do)
I’ll be dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow, I’ll be holding you tight
And there’s nowhere in the world I’d rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming about you and me
Ahhh…I can’t stop dreaming of you
Ahhh…I can’t stop dreamin
Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I’d stay up and think of you
And I still can’t believe that you came up to me
And said, “I love you; I love you too”
Now I’m dreaming with you tonight
Till tomorrow, and for all of my life
And there’s nowhere in the world I’d rather be
Then here in my room,
Dreaming with you endlessly…
