It's alright

Woke up in tousled hair I find
Wandered in a questioning mind
Contemplating if it’s the right wind
To undertake an one way ticket that binds

As I aroused from idle
Realizing the conundrum is such a knotty puzzle
I filled up the gaps at my twaddle
In hope that I’m not gonna straggle
With such muddle and tangle

Hey, it’s alright
To let go tears we’ve been holding tight
Once in a while, when we’re on a plight
And when the answers are not attainable in sight
The truth may disguised in the light
If we give’em a try in the night
Who knows we might get it right

It's alright

The top I wore.

I looked into my wardrobe, trying to locate the best outfit to put on. I realized two things: I need a bigger wardrobe & I do not have much formal attire in plain colours. (well I could have, but they were no where to be found at that moment)

I saw my Disney formal top hanging at the corner, with lonesome of my ignorance. It wasn’t childish Disney top, it’s very formal with some cute words behind it. It’s my first formal top I have ever got in my life. My mum bought that for me, and it was quite expensive as I remembered.

It clasps substantial touch and connotation to me. Two years back, I wore it for my very first interview at Taylors college. I looked rather smart that time, walked into the interview room with blessings from everyone. Well more and more interviews came to view later on; I ended up studying in TARC. I remembered I wore my Disney formal top during my diploma scholarship presentation ceremony two years back.

Two years later, here I am, another scholarship presentation ceremony. As I put on the same top and looked into the mirror, I saw my reflection and thoughts loomed to my mind.

“I’m here today attending this ceremony as a scholar, wearing the same top, with the same conviction and aspiration.”

Humanity

It hits me. As I live for the twentieth year, what I’m about to face in the coming years as I accumulate my birthday candles.

To be frank, I just don’t feel right or optimistic these days. Occurrence of the recent issues is not really encouraging, in addition to the pandemic world crisis and influenza. I feel thwarted with the current nation situation as well, as a person being raised up in a democratic background.

What’s on with the humanity? The turmoil of the crises has clouded the Malaysia’s outlook in all aspects, affecting people from all walks of life. I am not really into politics but I’m perceptive to mourn of deserving people. I’m a sympathetic person that is willing to work things out with pleasure given that impartiality and justice is achievable. And that’s why I’m a person that is rather conservative at times.

I really hope that God will bless and appreciate all the deserving people in this world, to hearten and inspire other people in a way that they realize what humanity and life is all about.

There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow.

And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow.
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space, make a better place.

Kinda occupied lately

These days I'm adapting to my new age, there's a sense of alienation felt with the word "twenty". It clings with different thoughts and perception. May blog about some of it later, if I’m able to survive for four tests next week.

I’m really happy that I had a great birthday. It feels like it’s your big day, you have all the rights to do whatever you want on your birthday. I feel honoured, as a person accumulating another birthday candle on birthday cake.

I may post another post with the title “presents from love ones” soon, but I’m really tired these days so I really don’t wanna give any words of when I’m gonna publish the stuff. So just let it be at this moment, I’ll find ways to deal with things I have to deal with and things that I’m gonna do.

Few days back I received a birthday card from Jia Wen, all the way from Australia. It touches my heart, with the sentimental words and photos. Dear, thanks so much. I want you to know that no matter where you are, you will always be my best friend. I’ll always be there for you. =)

Merci Beaucoup!

Few weeks back, I filled up a survey form. At the personal particulars sections, there's a column where you state your age.

15-19 []
20-25 [ ]

I got kinda frustrated, thinking of how should i state my age. Females are typically discreet about age matters, and it's a valid excuse for me to be bothered bout this matter.

I had a memorable birthday this year. Two days before the day of my birth anniversary (aka birthday) Lin, Shing Tsu and me went to JJ for my pre-birthday celebration. I was really touched and happy.






Thanks sweeties! =) And we had great time window shopping.

On my 20th birthday, I received lots of wishes and presents from lovely friends. To me it's like no big deal, it's just a recognition that I'm a year older. (A sad case huh. haha)

I might post out some presents I receive for my birthday soon, now I'm kinda occupied with assignments and courseworks. My french language presentation is coming up next, oh god!

I'm aged 20 right now, officially. =) Thanks everyone for all the wishes and gifts.
Merci beaucoup!
(Which means "Thanks so much" in french)

C’est la vie.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

I thought that if I hold on tight to beliefs and keep moving on the outcome will be rewarding; well at least encouraging. And what do I receive in the end, I don’t really know. I always believe that life is doing well on me; I have got great things in life to celebrate since I was born.

I wish to be someone who really deserves something, something that truly belongs to me without any hesitation. Anyway, there’s nothing much I can do but keep moving on.

C’est la vie.

Disappointed

At this moment, I’m numb to my thoughts articulation. I couldn’t figure out why though. Perhaps I should not have much expectation, especially people I do not really know, am I being too much?

I wish to be respected, as an individual who really deserves something. Rather than to take over something that is being discarded by people, in other words, leftover that is meant for forsaken people. Especially by people that have got no sense of accountability and fortitude.

In my candid opinion, at the point of time you take up the responsibility and should you know that you do not have the capacity or interest in it, why not be frank to yourself and everyone that you’re not in the capacity to take the responsibility? And you should have informed people whom you owe responsibility beforehand, rather than overtake without clarification.

I am the kind of person is pretty okay with everything with only a simple standpoint, I wish to be respected as a person who is there because of something, and not because there are vacancies; particularly vacancies that are thrust aside on unreasonable grounds.

Je sui désolé

Je sui désolé
(“I’m sorry” in French)

It’s been quite some time since I last updated my blog. Many crapping thoughts emerged to my pooped mindset, hitching through the vessels.

About the interview, it was the fastest interview that I have gone through so far. SAD director Mr Ang, our SBS Head of School Ms Kho and some other officers were there. They didn’t ask much about me, but more on financial grounds. I’m not really positive if I’m gonna be shortlisted, because I’m already a TARC Merit scholar. And that’s the stumbling block.

As what the other “institutions” might say, I am already a scholar of the college and opportunities shall be given to those who are needier and deprived. I have got nothing to say, frankly.

I think I did post a little poem on serendipity and someone asked me about it. So it goes like this. Few weeks back I wrote a letter to the college regarding my scholarship, in hope that the college will grant me with more fee waiver based on financial and academic grounds. (I knew that it’s not really possible, but still I wanted to give it a try) So I dropped by Mr Lam’s office too, showed him a cover letter, CV, etc. Tears welled in my eyes when Mr Lam said that I will never stand a chance, after he called Ms Say to verify this matter. It was kinda embarrassing, a ridiculous girl cries like a fool in front of her programme supervisor. Well almost cried.

At this point of time I feel that I should be conscientiousness towards my studies, my future and my life. I want to achieve something on my own, and live a life without regrets. It’s not a miserable plight so please do not feel sorry for me. It’s okay.

An Unforeseen Interview, at this moment

Advance Diploma. I kinda enjoy life at college at the moment. I am very glad and positive about the course I am undertaking.

I was not expecting anything else after I have received my result for Diploma. I have tried my best to do whatever I can. While I’m in the midst of recuperating, I received a call from SAD that I am shortlisted for an interview next week. It’s from The Star Education Fund.

I was very much stunned, seriously, at this moment. I have submitted my application few months back and I didn’t hear anything since then. (I have already paid the fees for my first semester by the way. Being shortlisted at this time is really surprising) There are times when I really wish to keep this to myself, because I don’t wanna make a big fuss like . HEY I’M GOING FOR AN INTERVIEW!

Because the chances are not that high though. I have faced loads of rejections for the past few months, and I think it would be okay for me. (if I could not make it next week) If I’m afraid of rejection and turn downs, I would not have undertaken any applications at the first place. A rejection is nothing more than a necessary step in the pursuit of success.

This is gonna be the very last interview, I think. Keep fingers crossed, for the very last time.

Craving for Serendipity

Apologetic beseechingly
Pleading for serendipity and rhymes
Yet nothing has redeemed her turmoil
Succumbed to the heartbreaking realism

Ludicrous one may find
To opt for opportunity leads to a miserable plight
A silly hope that her arcane ecstasy shall be lucked
To allure the heart of her parents as well as people who cares

Well it's okay..
Happenstance that have occurred
Served her well in nurturing different chemistry
Forges with abundant luster
To redeem her bewildered heart
That craves for serendipity

10 Uplifting Quotes for a Depressed Heart

"Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them -- every day begin the task anew." -Saint Francis de Sales

"A pearl is a beautiful thing that is produced by an injured life. It is the tear [that results] from the injury of the oyster.

Therefore, we are saved by faith.

Therefore, we are saved by love.
No virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as from our own;
Therefore, we are saved by the final form of love, which is forgiveness."
-Reinhold Niebuhr

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."

I do not hold responsibility to any damage caused as a result of reading this post. Please do not have your food or drink while you're reading this.

These pictures were not taken by the blog owner, although the person shown in pictures might is very identical to this blog owner. (Apparently that was me, I swear it wasn't my idea.)

The pictures and description are quoted directly from Voon's Friendster photo album.

Part1:Nobody

Part 2: Val appear

Part 3: getting far

Part4 :very nice pose wor...haha..^^

Part 5:gOing somewhere

Part6: Where she gO?



Don't beat me. I know it is very puffed up. Do I look like one has overweening pride and narcissistic to take those pictures? No right?!

*Denying with much confident*
I was the one who assorted to Voon's camera obsession. I was innocent.

I uploaded the pictures to Facebook, rather than blog as it's really difficult to post so many pictures here. There were a lot of fun and wild moments, which I think it happened at the last night of our stay there.

Disclaimer: If you notice any one in the videos that is very identical to me, it's not me. That was, erm.. somebody else. (In another words, yes it was me. I was forced)

Someone forced me to check my height with it, which was meant for kids. Obviously I'm higher than 153cm and I'm not a kid. *swt*

Five of us after watching Dreamz. Pity Cheok Leong, he said his skin tone was too dark to be noticed in the photograph.

Well you know. Taking photo with white lion is kinda expensive. So we figured out a budget-free method.

Take pictures with White Lion poster.
See? Cost Free!

Damn Tired

I am.. I am.. VERY EXHAUSTED.

It's been quite sometime since I last updated my blog. So okay, I'm back for Charm in Isetan KLCC. And I'm having two days leave for my trip to Genting with my classmates.

I should be agitated right now but I'm feeling damn tired. It's like.. I have not slept for ages since last Monday.

@@

Marveled.

I have just watched The Devil Wears Prada. I am always a century behind the trend, I know. In fact I have not watched High School Musical 3, yet. And Confession of Shopaholic. :( Anyway back to the story, I just grasp a feeling that cling with my contemplation. And it makes me wonder, big time.

Life is not only about you, and it’s not about me. It’s about other people that we live with, people we love. As people cling on to one SELF, one will believe that his or her life sucks big time more than anyone else in this world.

Why do I have to face this in life.
Why cant people just be more understanding to understand the ordeal that I’m going through.
Nobody understands my predicament, it feels like dying.

I have had enough with people like this. There are times I really wanna say “Stop the fuss and live with it. Be like a grown up person.” But it never happened to me that I would talk to people with such gesture. You know me.

I really don’t wanna make the fuss out of little matters. It’s not the matter that I don’t wanna share, I’m not egocentric. But sometimes it feels even worse when people is sedating with reassuring words. It dampens everything.

At times, I just need someone to tap on my shoulder and say "You're doing great today".

Another Red Light

Although your academic results and qualifications are impressive; however, we are regret to inform that the Foundation has extended the opportunity to other candidates who are more in need.

Once again, we thank you for your application and efforts. We wish you every success in your future academics.

I always look things at the bright side, being sanguine at all opportunities. However this time, it didn’t hit me much. I didn’t feel anything much about it, except for.. was I not in need as much as others?

That sentence hits me.

Through the Rain

When you get caught in the rain with no where to run
When you're distraught and in pain without anyone
When you keep crying out to be saved
But nobody comes and you feel so far away
That you just can't find your way home
You can get there alone
It's okay, what you say is

I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again on my own
And I know that I'm strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day and I make it through the rain
And if you keep falling down don't you dare give in
You will arise safe and sound, so keep pressing on steadfastly
And you'll find what you need to prevail
What you say is

I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again on my own
And I know that I'm strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day and I make it through the rain

And when the rain blows, as shadows grow close don't be afraid
There's nothing you can't face
And should they tell you you'll never pull through
Don't hesitate, stand tall and say

I can make it through the rain
I can stand up once again on my own
And I know that I'm strong enough to mend
And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith
And I live one more day and I make it through the rain

I can make it through the rain
And I stand up once again
And I live one more day
And I can make it through the rain
(Yes you can)
You will make it through the rain

Interview & Scholarship

As the saying goes, there is no free lunch in this world. The better ones will have priority over others.

After what I've been through for the past few years, I learned that I should not put on high hopes. On the other hand, I understand that I should be vigilant of opportunities available and never give up. If I couldn't bear the rejection, I shouldn't have applied for scholarship at the first place.

I recalled how excited I was when I received phone call from the HR manager. She's such a nice lady, she congratulated me. After the interview, I feel like being evoked to the realism of competition. They told me that I will be informed for another interview if I'm shortlisted.

I really hope I'll be shortlisted, but if I am not.. it's okay, I'll move on.
I should not put on high hopes, I'll just keep fingers crossed. If I'm not shortlisted, I'm going to be a person better than yesterday and prove to the world that "You all will regret for not choosing me".

A call that made my day!

The last day of my Diploma, after Tamadun exam and MYOB external exam this Saturday I'm going to be a free bird. Well, at least free for a month as Advance Diploma is commencing next month. Going to write a final review of my two years of studies in TARC after exam.

I received a call from Lion Group yesterday after office hour at 7pm. To my surprise it was the HR manager, she verified my email and told me I'm shortlisted to go for an interview next Monday. I was so really glad! Hooray, I'm going for an interview!

If I succeed in this interview, it's going to make a difference in my studies as well as my career path. Keep fingers crossed for my exams this Saturday and my interview on Monday!

*Pss*
Mum said I should wear my G2000 blouse next Monday, which I think it's too cute for the interview =.=

Tired

People surrounding me are in a tensed ambiance lately. The apprehension could penetrate and infiltrate through the concealment of mine.

I feel tired.

Happy 21st, Sze Jian

Hey.

How are you doing there. I hope things are fine over there. Speaking here, Jay Chou has came out with quite a lot of new songs lately. (Sorry I couldnt share much because it's been quite a while since I last catched up with Chinese songs) Yeah he's doing great.

I dropped by your friendster profile, everything is still there. Your wallpaper, your Jay Chou song, pictures, the Sze Jian kind of feeling. "Yo, whatssssuup!!"

I have moved on with quite a lot of stuff lately. I have undergone my NS, currently still doing my Diploma. Gonna commence Advance Diploma next month. I'm sure everyone here does the same thing, we all move on. How about you. What are you up to now?

It's been quite some time already since we last spoke. I can't recall when, could you recall? I guess the last time was in my dreams few years ago. You've been a special friend to me, from the bottom of my heart I'm really glad that I have met you.

Time elapses, never our friendship. And you are always special to me.
Happy 21st birthday Sze Jian.

*My eyes are welled and it kinda soaked through my nose.

When I Grow Up

When I grow up
I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star
I wanna be in movies

When I grow up
I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars
I wanna have groupies

When I grow up
Be on TV
People know me
Be on magazines

When I grow up
Fresh and clean
Number one chick when I step out on the scene
(By Pussycat dolls)

As I count my birthday candles, I realised that life is more complicated as it seems. I start to think what, why, how, things happen. I start to question, the rationale behind everything.

When I was a kid, I thought my dad owns a bank/ATM machine.


My perspective towards life was easy back then.

When I grow up, I realised there are constraints that forbid us to move on. Whether it is pleasing or not, we have got no choice. Sometimes it's not about pleasing ourselves, we don't have precedence over it.

When I grow up, I realised making decision is bloodcurdling as if it's a macabre. To make a decision we need guts, to move on and to bear with it. Also, taking into consideration our commitments, whether our decision that will lead towards a better living.

When I grow up, I don't wish to grow up.

Halo - Beyonce Knowles

Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make up a sound

I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light

I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again

Feels like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
The risk that I'm takin'
I'm never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

Mr Alex's BFM Interview

I was in lecture hall and received a SMS by Mr Alex, my ex-boss. He told me that he will be interviewed by BFM at 10am. I was like, WOW! I listened to BFM interviews and I love them, they are really enriching and infomative to the current biz phenomena; makes one sound like a real business savvy.

If you do know that I have worked for Charm for a while, Mr Alex is the designer and the director of the company. Do check my post if you wanna know my daily review of my experience at Charm, promise you won't laugh okay?

I went to library and listened BFM online. I was really surprised that Mr Alex said he got his inspiration through loads of stuff, including politics. (I wonder what's shoe design in his mind when he thinks about our new PM, LOL)

Enough with my blabbing, check out the link below for the interview. It's really a great interview.

Things Dont Cling

Things don't cling on much these days but I'm okay.

I'm good in expressing things at times, I would not hang a notice on my chest saying "Stressful person is here" and hold it out to the world.

As in Leona Lewis's "YESTERDAY"..

I should be thankful for everyday
Heaven knows what the future holds
Or at least how the story goes

Thank you MY BRO

YK, I apologise.

Thank you for always being there.
I appreciate that a lot.

NS Reminiscence

"It will also set out to find out whether the programme will be continued or stopped as there have been calls for it to be discontinued," he told reporters after officially opened this year's second batch of NS trainees at Cahaya Gemilang camp in Cherating here Thursday.
(Source: The Star)

National Service, it's very mesmerising I must say. Looking back, it's been like three years already. I received the notice letter on December 2006. (Checked through my very very old post and found this picture)

It's been quite some time already. How I responded to the news, how I felt about NS, how suffering it was, how pampered I was. I couldn't comment much on the modules, that time I felt the modules were quite boring and holds nothing much. Few years later, today I find that I miss those modules a lot. I don't know why, I just miss the feeling of togetherness in our uniforms.

Celoreng uniform, postman uniform, sports uniform. I still have my postman pants sized 34 with me, my sister is wearing it at the moment for her Pandu Puteri. It's oversized, and I have to use a belt to hold the pants tight, else it will just fell off. I miss those days where we can hear the sound of polishing our boots in our dorm P7. We really had to polish it "kaw kaw" and make it as shinny as possible. Don't play around with the coaches, seriously.

Our dorm P7, where nightmares took place. Always kena tsunami where Cikgu Ina tend to punish us marching with blanket in the midst of night. (Wearing blanket like sarung and march with it) One small mistake and everyone of us will be punished. We had to be aware of TSUNAMI at all times.

TTS = Tidur Tempat Sendiri = Tidur Tanpa Suami

One day Cikgu Ina heard different interpretation of TTS, and she punished all of us for being irrespectful. (Like that also kena, aiyor. Btw I had no idea who said it, suddenly felt like being punished innocently)

What is worst is, I have a pet there. A cockroach. IT'S THE WORST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED ON ME, I swear. The cockroach loved my cupboard, not others but mine only. I chased and threw it out, the next day when I open my cupboard it jumps out of the cupboard and I yelled. It happens almost everyday, until the day when Kati (my sayang) stepped and killed it. *amitabha*

Our camp wasn't the best place with facilities, honestly speaking I think other camps are better than ours. In terms of quality, the gov seriously need to change their uniform suppliers. (shoes and pants tend to be worn out very easily)


It was the first time in my life where I was really on my own. I phoned back home every Friday with tears soaking my eyes. I told my mum how much I missed her buns and her cooking. They knew my problems with cockroach and sent me some "anti-cockcroach" pills. I realised how weak I was without my parents. (The pills didnt work anyway, that's why it was a nightmare for me)

I miss my friends there too. How we worked things out, how we enjoyed our instant noodle in our leisure room in front of TV, how we shared things with each other, how we counted down for the last day of NS. Everything, you all completed my NS life.

I found my NS poem in my old post, written by me after I found out I was chosen. (feels kinda funny when I read my masterpiece)


(Date written: 22 July 2006)
Light dimming and flicking unexpected
The night is so cold and lonely
Under the radar, they can't find evidence
to why it was I that God chose.

Stumbling down my chosen path
I'm learning to fly and be a strong gal
I'll persevere
I'll continue walking, hoping
We are given the strength and
Ability to endure

National Service
Granted the grace to pursue
Piety and persistent purity
Full of hugs and laughter
Filled with sparkles and twirls
A dream comes true
No one to blame or sue

God knows all, hears all, and sees all
It's not a punishment of any kind
There is no one's fault
It was what he had planned us
A better way of which he sought

Lets all hold hands and make amends
With no despair
Together we make this world a better place

Lessons for everyone

Mum
More supplements. Learned about the correct body posture and the importance of nutrients in our body bone structure. We need a new vacuum cleaner.

Dad
No more Kelantan mixed rice, mamak stall's food. Kinda like to drink 100 plus after doing house chores, feels like "ahh! so great!" Agreed with mum, we seriously need a new vacuum cleaner.

Brother
Never buy expensive formal clothes, no Padini, no G2000. So unlucky for him, he has a sister who is incompetent in dealing with his laundries; especially when it comes to branded and expensive clothes. Better wash it yourself, or don't wash. =P

Sister
First time dealing with laundries, claimed that she will do anything for me as long as I help with her laundries. Apparently she finds it rather suffering and exhausting. She took more than an hour to deal with few garments.

Me
Undergone house chores, everything. Been waiting for calls these days but no one has rung. Uphold the drive for scholarship, realised the impact and significance of scholarship. Determined to work hard, wanted to succeed in CIMA and provide a better living for family.

Camouflage

I don't really like concealing things are alright when they are not.
I'm good at it, though.

Longing for one

What I have been through these days, have corroborated my fortitude with much vigor. I’m longing for a scholarship more than anyone else.

I really need one to, at least, release my parents burden. If I were given a chance and opportunity, I’d turn things around. I will provide the best medication and a better living for my parents and people surrounding me.

Life is not only about achieving what we want, it holds much more than that; How we're going to preserve it, how we're going to sustain what we own right now.

Who knows

Negation and Ignorance
Attest no indication of giving in

At times I could be there grinning
With sanguine attitude about life and challenges
But who knows one day I could be wrong
Who knows one day when we wake up
Everything we grasped could be gone

Who knows one day we could injure our spine
And who knows we would have to spend few months
Going through physiotherapy and treatments
Aching at back and could barely walk
Who knows that it could cost our lives

Who knows
We could live for another day

Hope

Gawking with anticipation
Hope shrouded underneath the envelope
Something that I have been craving
For such a long time

Olge of hope
Filled with blessing and luster
I hold it close to my heart
And dropped it into the letterbox

It's going to work this time
I speak to myself

Skynet Service SUCKS

Skynet. Express Carrier of Choice.

I am not afraid of sharing my feedback as a customer here, I hope everyone who surf Google for "Skynet" will find my blog here. I am a customer and I have paid for courier service and yet received unsatisfying service.

This is the second time, I have had enough. Few months back, Skynet Melawati swapped my parcel with another company's parcel. I received a parcel, the slip was addressed to me but with things inside that did not belong to me. There were an invoice from other company, addressed to other people.

In the end, another person got my parcel and I got hers. Sending from different companies. How can a courier company make such mistake? What if confidential things were swapped? We're paying extra but not getting the right service, well at least, GETTING THE RIGHT PARCEL. Fine. In the end, we settled and exchanged the parcel back which I decided not to talk about it.

This time, I bought my ampoules; Tracking number NO: 201337366930. Ladies should know how precious ampoules are. My parcel arrived today. It was wrapped nicely, with quite a lot of layers of newspaper with a "fragile" sticker at the parcel.

I unwrapped it. At the corner of the newspaper, it feels wet. At the end, what I saw was..

One of my ampoules was broken. It had just been broken few moments ago when the delivery boy sent, I felt the dampness when I opened the parcel. My ampoule box ended up dyed and soaked in bloody red colour. I felt so dissapointed with Skynet. I called the customer service line, and apparently I did not get a friendly reply from them.

The sender, company whom I bought my stuff from is rather dissapointed with Skynet too. I asked the company if they have dealt with Skynet and how is the procedure like to complain. The lady in charge told me once she claimed a parcel from Skynet, and it tooks about few months to claim with loads of procedures. From her experience, she phoned quite a lot of times and have to push like madly to claim a parcel. (which is not worth her effort, she felt quite pissed off while claiming the parcel)

To wait for few months, just to claim for a broken ampoule. I don't wanna ruin my mood for the next few months phoning Skynet everyday and said "Hey, I want claim for my damaged parcel!" I have paid extra for courier service, and for twice I did not receive satisfying service; swapping parcel is unpardonable.

(Mind you, I'm a full time online shopper and I do loads of online shopping more than you expected, I know about shipping service. I am also building up my own online boutique, which I might need to engage a courier company for service. Skynet will NEVER be my choice for courier service, for casual or for business purpose.)

I hope by blogging here, everyone reads this. This is Skynet, the worst and the most inefficient courier service I have ever encountered.

SkyNet, I hope you read this. Should you need any further reference of what have happened, email me at valerie_lyw@hotmail.com

Charm

I should have posted this last week, I was a bit busy coping with some stuff recently until I have totally forgotten about this. So if you're wondering what on earth is Charm, where I used to work for the past few weeks, here it is. Lot 10, First Floor.

I Will Be

There's nothing I could say to you
Nothing I could ever do to make you see
What you mean to me
All the pain, the tears I cried
Still you never said goodbye
And now I know how far you'd go

I know I let you down
But it's not like that now
This time I'll never let you go

I will be all that you want
And get myself together
Cause you keep me from falling apart
All my life
I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day
And make everything okay

I thought that I had everything
I didn't know what life could bring
But now I see, honestly
You're the one thing I got right
The only one I let inside
Now I can breathe cause you're here with me

And if I let you down
I'll turn it all around
Cause I will never let you go

I will be all that you want
And get myself together
Cause you keep me from falling apart
All my life
I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day
And make everything okay

Cause without you I can't sleep
I'm not gonna ever ever let you leave
You're all I've got
You're all I want
And without you
I don't know what I'd do
I could never ever live a day without you
Here with me do you see
You're all I need

And I will be all that you want
And get myself together
Cause you keep me from falling apart
All my life (my life)
I'll be with you forever (forever)
To get you through the day
And make everything okay (okay)
I will be all that you want (I'll be)
And get myself together (get myself together)
Cause you keep me from falling apart

And all my life
You know I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day
And make everything okay

The Me

I have been optimistic, I'm speaking encouraging words. You might think I'm out of my mind now. I do care about my results, but this time I'm not clinging to the prospect, or in other words - belief that I'll achieve what as expected. I'm feeling pretty fine actually, and I have just finished my CV.

As I write my CV, I feel quite contented. It's not like I have won any celebrated awards nor I'm good at sports. I wrote quite a lot of things at "Curricular Activities Involved" section. Looking back, I was like.. WOW I CANT BELIEVE I HAVE DONE THAT. I feel really happy about the fact that I was given such opportunity to be involved in so many activities.

I could have done better in studies if I were to concentrate more on my grades, I thought. But thinking it again, if I given a choice..

1. CGPA 4.0, no curricular activities involved
2. Average CGPA, loads of curricular activities involved

I will go for the second one. Not getting A is not the end of everything, I have earned much more that is of unrivaled existence. I know there are loads of excellent students scoring good grades like 4.0, this and that. This is me, and I never regret my decision. Many people out there have better grades than me, it doesn't matter.

I don't wanna live for anyone, or be like someone.
I just wanna be me, the typical me.

Result Released

I don't feel anything at all. It's just, typical result that I always get. Nothing much to cheer or whip, which it's okay for me. I have already used to this, well it's the final semester already. What can I expect, a miracle?

I have tried my best already, and that's it.
I'm over it, end of story.

Dreams

Few weeks later I would have finished my final semester, and there I am graduating with diploma qualification. I'm truly upset these days, to the fact that I couldn't secure a scholarship for my advance diploma. (Maybe partial of my fees will be waived, don't know)

"For GOD SAKE, you're upset about this?! Do you ever think about how the others might have felt about your result?"

I know, the fact that everyone says so. I don't blame people for saying so, I do know that I'm not a whiz kid that scoring perfecto result. I never expect myself to score something like 4.0. It's just that, everything is turned off against me. The kind of feeling, of a typical person working so hard, wanted so badly to soar for better achievement in life.

My parents have been very supportive for whatever and everything I do. I'm very moved, really. I don't wanna let them down, the least thing I could do is to ease their burden and score a good result. Having my two siblings studying, I know that life aint easy for my family. I have always tried very hard to ease the burden of my family. The only way I'm going to pursue further is though scholarship, apparently I do not have much choice.

I'm not grumbling the fact that my family could not afford my studies in overseas or reputable universities. I just feel a bit upset, that I am not given a green light no matter how hard I tried. (I'm still very upset with the JPA thing, even though it has been for two years. Stupid quota thinggy, why aint everyone given a fair chance.)

Dreams, if only I were given a chance to soar. I learn that I should not put on high hopes because eventually the frustration and dissapointment that I'm going to get in return is something that I could not bear to lose.

Going back for Charm

Yesterday Mr Harry phoned me and said he wanna meet us up for some feedback on our job at Charm. Mr Alex came too and we discussed. He asked us whether we are able to help out for the coming weeks, I told him I could not make it. (To be honest, it is not convenient for me to travel there)

We arrived at SAD. The CGS new committee members were having meeting at Canteen foyer for the coming Career Fair. They worked really hard, I felt a bit of overwhelming realisation. I grinned, telling myself that I've done my part and now it is up to the new committee members. =)

Mr Alex called me today and asked if I'm able to work for Charm for these few days because he needs someone to help out urgently. For me, working for Charm is never an issue, but I have transport problem. It's not really convenient for me to travel to Lot 10. (I live on a hill that is not well located with any public transport) Then again, I let myself tranquilize for a moment.

I really wanna help out Charm. "I sayang kat Charm" just like what Is said. I paused my reading for a moment, I was reading "Shopaholic Takes Manhattan" - yes my favourite Sophie Kinsella shopaholic series! I arranged schedule and pleaded my dad for permission, well acquiescence actually.

So there it is, I'm going to Lot 10 tomorrow and this Friday! =)


LYRICS: A little Too Not Over You - David Archuleta
--------------------------------------------

It never crossed my mind at all
That's what I tell myself
What we had has come and gone
You're better off with someone else
It is for the best. I know it is
But I see you

Sometimes I try to hide
What I feel inside
And I turn around
You're with him now
I just can't figure it out

Tell me why
You're so hard to forget
Don't remind me
I'm not over it
Tell me why
I can't seem to face the truth
I'm just a little too not over you

Memories suppose to fade
What's wrong with my heart
Shake it off let it go
Didn't think it would be this hard
Should be strong, moving on
But I see you

Sometimes I try to hide
What I feel inside
And I turn around
You're with him now
I just can't figure it out

Tell me why
You're so hard to forget
Don't remind me
I'm not over it
Tell me why
I can't seem to face the truth
I'm just a little too not over you

Maybe I regret
Everything I said
No way to take it all back
Yeah
Now I'm on my own
How I let you go
I'll never understand
I'll never understand
Yeah, ohhh.

Tell me why
You're so hard to forget
Don't remind me
I'm not over it
Tell me why
I can't seem to face the truth
I'm just a little too not over you

Tell me why
You're so hard to forget
Don't remind me
I'm not over it
Tell me why
I can't seem to face the truth
And I really don't know what to do
I'm just a little too not over you

Not over you, ooh

Anesthetised.

- Starting final semester soon
- Final exam result is out on this coming Saturday

I have been anesthetised, emotionally. During this semester break, quite a lot of things took place. A lot of things came to my mind, dreams and aspirations.

Updated Play List

I finally updated the music play list at my sidebar. I'm not a modernised person and tend to be out-dated. Yeah you know, time passes and I'm getting old.

Ne-Yo
Shayne Ward
David Archuleta
Jesse McCartney
Jordin Sparks
Jessica Simpson

Basically these are the singers I like, great vocalists. And oh yeah, I love David's new song "A little too not over you". The lyrics will be up soon on next blog post.

NE YO -MAD
--------------

She's starin' at me,
I'm sittin', wonderin' what she's thinkin'.
Nobody's talkin',
'Cause talkin' just turns into screamin'.
And now is I'm yellin' over her,
She's yellin' over me.
All that that means
Is neither of us is listening,
And what's even worse
That we don't even remember why were fighting.
So both of us are Mad for...

Nothin' (Fighting for).
Nothin' (Crying for).
Nothin' (Whoahhh).
But we won't let it go for
Nothin' (No not for)
Nothin'.
This should be nothin' to a love like what we got.
Ohhh, baby

I know sometimes
It's gonna rain
But baby, can we make up now
'Cause I can't sleep through the pain

Girl, I don't wanna go to bed (Mad at you),
And I don't want you to go to bed (Mad at me).
No, I don't wanna go to bed (Mad at you),
And I don't want you to go to bed (Mad at me)
Ohhh no no no

And it gets me upset, girl
When you're constantly accusing.
(Askin' questions like you've already known).
We're fighting this war, baby
When both of us are losing.
(This ain't the way that love is supposed to go).

What happened to working it out
We've fall into this place
Where you ain't backin' down
And I ain't backin' down.
So what the hell do we do now...
It's all for...

Nothin' (Fighting for).
Nothin' (Crying for).
Nothin' (Whoahhh).
But we won't let it go for
Nothin' (No not for)
Nothin'.
This should be nothin' to a love like what we got.
Ohhh, baby...

I know sometimes
It's gonna rain...
But baby, can we make up now
'Cause I can't sleep through the pain
(Cant sleep through the pain).

Girl, I don't wanna go to bed (Mad at you),
And I don't want you to go to bed (Mad at me).
No, I don't wanna go to bed (Mad at you),
And I don't want you to go to bed (Mad at me)
Ohhh no no no

Oh baby this love ain't gonna be perfect
And just how good it's gonna be.
We can fuss and we can fight
Long as everything alright between us
Before we go to sleep.
Baby, we're gonna be happy.

I know sometimes
It's gonna rain
But baby, can we make up now
'Cause I can't sleep through the pain
(Cant sleep through the pain).

Girl, I don't wanna go to bed (Mad at you),
And I don't want you to go to bed (Mad at me).
No, I don't wanna go to bed (Mad at you),
And I don't want you to go to bed (Mad at me)
Ohhh no no no...

Valerie - Mark Ronson

Out of no where I found this song, yes I know is my name. I could not stop giggling when I hear the song, feel a bit uncomfortable when I hear of my name, in that kind of music genre.

Do check out youtube to hear the song, it's so so so so.. I don't know how to say. *sweat*

----

Well sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water
And I think of all the things
What you're doing and in my head I make a picture

'Cos since I've come on home, well my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over, stop making a fool out of me
Why won't you come on over Valerie, Valerie?

Did you have to go to jail
Put your house on up for sale, did you get a good lawyer?
I hope you didn't catch a tan
I hope you find the right man who'll fix it for you
Are you shopping anywhere
Changed the colour of your hair, are you busy?
And did you have to pay the fine you were dodging all the time are you still dizzy?

Yeah

'Cos since I've come on home, well my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over, stop making a fool out of me
Why won't you come on over Valerie, Valerie.
Valerie, Valerie?

Well sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water
And I think of all the things
What you're doing and in my head I make a picture'

Cos since I've come on home, well my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over, stop making a fool out of me
Why won't you come on over Valerie, Valerie.
Valerie, Valerie?

Yeah Valerie

9th Day at Charm (Overview Too)

The last day! The crowd today wasn't very encouraging, have to push the sales a lot. Isetan operates until 7pm today due to the sales bazaar that will take place on the next day. We went home about 9.30 something after we have finished packaging the stocks.

My foot soles are really painful, my heels broken yesterday while we were packing the stocks. *sob sob*


OVERVIEW
------------

Some of you might be in awe with questioning mind, what have happened to my semester break.

I actually had a to-do list for my semester break. (I do have, lol) Then Mr Harry told me about his friend looking for part timers for Charm shoes. I have not heard of Charm to be honest, at first I wasn't that sure about the job because being part time promoter for shoes aint easy. Furthermore, it does not sound like a typical part time job.

"Out-spoken, dynamic with vibrant personality students are required"

This is what Mr Harry told me, he gave me Mr Alex contact number and I contacted him. I thought he was freelance agent, to my surprise I was actually talking to the director and designer of the company. I was like.. OMG. After talking to him, I find the job rather interesting and I took up the offer. The pay rate wasn't the first thing in my mind (do not ask me about the pay rate, lol), I'm more concerned about the brand and job scope.

FYI, I'm not interested in typical promoters job, doing monotonous task all day long. If I really wanna earn loads of money, I could have found part time job before the semester break commences. The reason I took up the offer is because I find that the brand and job scope is rather interesting. Of course I'm not talking about climbing the shoe racks, standing for long hours.





(This is the G2000 blouse that I have mentioned. Cute right?)

Working for Charm is something really different. Mr Alex is down-to-earth, supportive and enthusiastic. The best word to describe him is "go-getter". He is very supportive with cheering encouragement and tend to check out our progress from time to time. As well as Is (our abang) too. It's really fun working for Charm, the first time I find that working as shoes promoter is intriguing. I wake up everyday and tell myself that "It's a brand new day today, we're going to achieve better sales today!"

Our job is to promote and convince customers to try the shoes. It aint easy to convince customers who are afraid of heels to try on the heels. The best publicity tool for a product is the product itself. Charm is a local brand and is still developing in Malaysia market. (It is developed in overseas and most of the products are meant for overseas market, with outlets in overseas too) The shoes are really comfortable and stable, not to mention that the designs are very unique. Pricing is very reasonable and worth for the price.


We approach customers, recommend and convince customers to try the shoes. Once they have tried, they feel very surprised and convinced that the shoes are very stable and comfortable. Most of them are shocked "OMG, you sure is local brand? It's so nice!" There was a customer, she was not planning to buy shoes and I have convinced her to buy a "kulit ular" shoes. She was really cute.

"Aiyo kulit ular? Ah Kak dah tua tak berani nak pakai lah"
"Kak, this is the best selling designs we have. Tak ape kak, kak cuba pakai dan rasa dulu. Colour ini senang match dengan seluar atau baju kurung. Designnya simple tapi unique, kak pasti akan suka."
"Ehh, stable pulak kasut ni, selesa bila pakai. Colour macam lawa juga.. OK nak ni!"

It's really to hard to find true friends, same goes to shoes that will fit well. We're not only doing promotion for 9 days but we are promoting the brand to KL customers, we believe that there will be return customers that will support Charm in long term. (Do check out Charm outlet in Lot10 first floor) It aint easy, really. It is a tiring task, yet I feel contented and delighted when customers found shoes that fit them well with best comfort.

For Charm, I do not mind working extra hours. I am glad that I took up the offer. Although my foot soles ache and I have dark circles due to insufficient sleep, I never regret the decision that I have took up the offer. Thanks to Mr Alex for giving us this opportunity and encouragement, Is and many other people who have provided guidance and support.

I have faith in this brand, I believe that in sometime near the future Charm brand will be well celebrated with thriving business. We have done our best for this promotion, I wish all the best for Charm. I will always be a Charm supporter. =)

8th Day at Charm

The second last day, great sales we have achieved today! Yeahh!!

If we can achieve similar result for tomorrow, we have high chances to meet our target. Well to be honest, it's not about whether we will get incentive or not, to me it's okay. I just hope that Charm brand is able to excel and be in high repute, hopefully globally in sometime near the future.

Tomorrow will be a critical day for our turnover, I'm doing full time tomorrow. (Going to sleep early today and wake up early tomorrow)

We can do it!! GO GO GO!! =)

7th Day at Charm

Is (kita punya abang) is on leave today. We had some issues with the stocks, he did not pick up my call this afternoon, I got no choice but to contact Mr Alex directly. I know he's a busy person, I didn't want to disturb him. *felt a bit bad*

Mr Mike took the stocks for us, we felt delighted that the stocks have arrived. 4 pairs of shoes for tomorrow's sales! Our sales is slightly better than yesterday's, quite okay I guess. Whether it meets our target, I'm not sure. We tried very hard to push the sales.

I was told that our timetable is out already. Quite okay, I'm still kinda blur actually of what's going on. Must have been too indulged with selling shoes recently. :)

6th Day at Charm

Too tired to blog, I'm not feeling well today.

Today's sales is similar with the first day opening. I'm not sure whether it's good or not, Mr Alex did not ring the bell. So I'm kinda like, are we performing good enough? We try very hard everyday and hope that we are able to achieve target. I know that Mr Alex has high expectation on us and we really want to make him proud.

Well and another thing is..

I feel very bad for Is (our abang) because he fell from the racks because of me. He helped me to take CS214 shoes and injured his hand a little. Thank God the wound wasn't that serious. I feel very bad.

It began quite well today, but towards the end I'm not feeling well. My throat wasn't feeling well and I'm kinda worn out. About 9pm, I managed to convince a customer from China to buy 4 pairs of shoes and with that transaction we reached the sales figure as per first day. I was like.. PHEW FINALLY.

Hui Min told me that our exam result will be out next Saturday. I have almost forgotten about the fact that I'm an accounting student. I'm too indulged with shoes these days, Charm shoes salesperson. I'm going to further my studies, achieve CIMA qualification, be a charted accountant. I feel so contradicted.

It really makes me think, why I wanna be an accountant?

Do I like figures? Not really.
Do I like FRS? Not really too.
Do I like accounts? I'm not positive.
OH GOD. I don't wanna think anymore.
My feeling is kinda mixed up now, forgive me.

Is, I'm sorry. I feel really bad, if I were to get the shoes myself you won't be injured. I'm truly sorry. =(

5th Day at Charm

It's Sunday, felt kinda reluctant to wake up this morning.

It's a brand new day again. Our sales today is no bad, the highest as compared to few days before. Delighted!

My mum dropped by Isetan this evening, she has got nothing else to do but to kacau my job. I told my mum I wanna buy few pairs of shoes but she said the shoes do not fit my college life. Btw Charm shoes are gorgeous with finest quality.

I'm kinda tired today, we did quite a lot of sales. Strangely, my soles today are quite okay.. Maybe they feel happy too because of the sales. Hope that tomorrow we can achieve the result too.

4th Day at Charm

I couldn't walk much, my soles are aching. I'm kinda tired today because I did full shift today. *painful soles*

Mr Alex dropped by with new stocks, he was expecting higher sales than yesterday. It's Saturday and the crowd is supposed to be encouraging, but surprisingly it wasn't that much as expected in the noon. We tried really hard to get more sales. (me in my aching feet soles)

In the end, we managed to achieve slightly higher sales. Quite happy with the result, hope that tomorrow will be better.

Today is Jia Wen's birthday. I gave her a call in the morning before she went for her flight. Going to miss her lots! Take care of yourself ya my dear, we miss you always. May all the happiness be with you and all the best in everything! Happy birthday. =)

3rd Day at Charm

I can barely walk with my bare feet today, it's aching so much. I really wanna cry you know when I woke up today.

It's a brand new day today, brand new sales that we shall achieve. The sales are rather encouraging today. I am a better storeroom-climber today. Many customers demanded shoes like Code 249, 43, 40, 220.. etc, which the stocks are on the top of the rack. (not on the rack, it's on top of the rack, near to the ceiling)

I seldom use the ladder because the ladder does not seem as stable as it seems. I rather climb the racks, well I'm kinda scare if the rack will fall like the domino. I got hit on my head by a box of shoes when I was climbing on the racks, it was quite painful.

(I need some cream, something for my soles. The ache is kinda pain.)

Anyway, the sales is quite encouraging today. We felt so happy, but we know that we have loads to go. We foresee tomorrow shall be a busy day for us. We can make it, GO GO GO!!

2nd Day at Charm

I wake up today, feeling sore on my feet soles. *curbing pain*

I wore the G2000 blouse today, I like it so much. It's the first time in my life to wear a G2000 blouse. I thought I am able to wear my first G2000 after I have achieved my accountancy qualification and graduated. It was so surprising.

I started my day with a hope that we will achieve better sales today! I was really excited and when I started my shift I sold few pair of shoes in an hour. I felt so happy and excited!

Still, at the end of the day we did not manged to achieve the targeted sales. If we were to have more stocks and sizes today, I'm positive that we are able to achieve better than yesterday. Anyway, that's it for today. More stocks are coming tomorrow, we're going to perform better tomorrow! =)

We will work hard to achieve more sales in the days to come, we will. Never give up, that's the semangat! GO GO GO for tomorrow's sales!

1st Day at Charm

I was rather busy for the first day and I saved this as draft.

First day, 8.30am-10pm. It aint easy, standing there with heels for such a long period. It was a tiring yet exciting task.

It was fun although it's rather tiring(to be honest). Working as salesperson, one has to be optimistic and self-assured. It's like, you have to start each day with a hope that you'll achieve better result for the brand new day. It's so fulfilling and pleasing when customer says "Oh I love this. I'll take this!"

We took some time to be familiarise with all the matters. We faced some issues with the attire rules as well as other rules. Due to some problem with our attire matter, we did not have any plain formal attire to wear on. The attire we bought did not fulfill their requirements, we had no choice. (What is wrong with collar T-shirt by the way?)

Mr Alex got us each a G2000 blouse, I was like OMG. Btw there were three of us, the ladies. (I'll try to snap a picture of the blouse when I have time later.) I felt a bit bad actually, really I do. G2000 clothes do not come cheap you know, and he got 3 pieces of G2000 blouses for us as part timers.

(OMG OMG OMG.
I know I'm exaggerated over this.)

That's pretty much what happened today. Working for Charm is a challenging task, today's sales is quite okay but we still have loads to catch up. GO GO GO !!

Little Gathering

Taw Yang said that he will pick me up today at 10.20am. I woke up at 10am, I was like OMG I'm so going to be late. It was a rush today, such an important day today.

We bought a cake and managed to prepare all the stuff before the big girl of the day arrives. We celebrated pre-birthday for Jia Wen. She's flying for Aus on her birthday this week, going to miss her so much. We managed to persuade Wei Hao come too, all the way from PJ during his lunch time. So glad that he made it. (This fella always MIA)




Taw Yang volunteered to cut the cake, his cutting skill made us laugh off the table. Seriously, look at the cake he cut. My piece was the largest, the slices are of different sizes.


See the difference? Thanks to him. He said that I'm fat already, and it won't be much difference if I have another big slice of cake. (in case you might wonder, he is always like that, especially to me.) Anyway, the cake was very delicious! who cares if i'm gaining weight, it's delicious! =)


It wasn't really much, but we did spend a lot of efforts in choosing the present. The feeling is kinda complicated, when you're bidding farewell and greeting birthday at the same time. We could not think of any idea for the presents, what we had on mind was stuff that she might need for her trip.

Jia Wen, Happy Birthday in advanced to you my dear. We're going to miss you so much, take care of yourself ya. So sorry that we could not make to some trip, really hope that we could spend more time together. It's just a simple gathering today, with simple present and simple celebration.

Although we're living apart and might not see each other that often, we will always be there for you. Be a tough girl there. (do not always drink coffee ya!) We all will be right here and move on towards our dreams, you're not alone striving hard to achieve qualifications. :)
