*HAPPY TIMES*

New Acquaintance =)

well was on my way to work... kind of late because of a car accident...
massive jam... well still no rush coz I still have ample time... :)
I got in the star lrt... it was packed to the brim.
And, my foot got stepped on... *ouch* -_-"
lucky I was not wearing heels it's already painful enough wearing a covered shoe and getting stepped on by a boot!

Well... Anyways I manage to move myself to the other side pushing my way in...
*don't understand why do these people have to stand near the door!!*
well I saw a blind guy sitting in front of me pretty much my age... older a bit...
well I have never seen him before [pretty familiar with the regular that comes in]
first impression he gave me that he's still pretty new with the disabled thing and is very much not familiar on the LRT... and I was right...
coz when we got down the train at the masjid jamek station...
he was like "emmm... now how do I get out"...
People were getting in his way pushing him... well no one was helping him...
and he got pushed around until he was about to hit the wall...
So I went and get him... and everyone was like starring at me...
I was like "What? can't u see he needs help..." coz there was no escalator
everyone had to use the stairs...
Just imagine for us who has sight gets pushed around going down the stairs just imagine a blind...

So I brought him down the stairs...still getting pushed...
which got on my nerves... I was like saying out loud "Excuse Me!"
coz I don't know how these people could actually walk without looking at their surroundings??!!...

well lucky coincidentally he was going the same direction as I am... just a stop after my stop on the putra LRT... well got to cross the road to get to the station...
Again... why can't you people look where your going... it's like they walk right in front of him until they hit his stick then they notice... and poor guy keeps saying sorry...
People with the pushing attitude... cross road also want fight ah??!!

well we got across safely... while waiting for the next train...
he started a small talk... starting of... "kamu naik putra jugak??"
well with the tone that he was afraid that he was bothering me...
well got on the the train... asked him to take a seat...
he was like "takpe kamu duduk lah?" and I was like it's okay there another seat there too...
he's disabled and he's still considerate of other people... =) *speechless*
well sat next to him...then we were talking...
And, he was actually studying substitute medication...
meaning healing with no drugs involved
wow that's pretty cool...
we were talking and I don't understand why people keep looking with that sarcastic look... "what can't people have a good conversation??"
well his name is yazid... and he's nice =)
surprisingly who you would meet... =)

First Voice Recording!... XD

yesterday I did my first voice recording for a demo commercial... for 'Body Shop'
was singing a tune with my music director...
just basically building on voice harmonies ONLY...
My supervisor also the music director is a genius... well for me he is... XP
he wanted a high pitch... well coincidentally I was here and I'm a soprano... hahaha
well in the recording I sound like a kid hahaha... coz of the high pitch thing...
but after the sound editing it sounds pretty damn good XD
and it took like less than an hour.... well it's just a demo la... But still Good..
hopefully you'll hear them at their promotion if we get the job XD
well maybe not my voice in it... =P

a reunion

went to church today... it's father's day... so the youths musician network is having some show...

it's been a long time since I was active... when I was the assistant treasurer [haha... me and my money business XD]

well got down there to support them... even though they say they need me desperately

but can't commit coz since I entered uni... no.1 priority is to it....

anyways I met up wit seet onn today... well it's been a long time since we hang out

coz he was like my BOSS... meaning here the youth leader... I was like by him every time

Even though I'm not his assistant... well we did really well together...

our team actually got the youth up and running again when it was down in the gutters.

Well when my partner head treasurer Francis left for the UK I left too...

But I was still supporting him [seet onn] in the background... he's a hard worker...

Lots of fire in him... I still remember when I first met him coz he had this very heavy "Oklahoma American Slang" it's like every single consonant is accented... it's really funny coz my god brothers and I use to tease him like crazy... well he's sporting took us not very long to get him back to his Malaysian slang... Then when we had our first meet up for "yam cha" before he send me back home after a meeting...

oh well... tons of sweet memory too... we were close then...

we went for holidays, did flower arrangements together until we became like sneezy the dwarf [allergy to pollen] for mother's day sales to raise fun, we kind of took take care of each other when working together... well basically we spend lots of time together...

Until one by one everyone left... and I wasn't really there anymore

He was tired and wanted to past the torch to someone else...

And everyone disappeared...

until today we actually bumped into each other and it felt like old days again...

the closeness... side by side like partners and complimenting each other

like brother and sister...

even the photographer came and took our picture together this morning hahaha...

oh well u can see them for yourselves... =D

well he's kind of drunk (special traditional brew)

it's a killer @ the keamatan festival (harvest festival) 2 years ago

well this is this mornin at church.... =D

sweet memories... =)

My ambition... XP

was on my way to class in Kelana Jaya and I saw a guy wearing a red shirt that says...

if u can't really see what is says...:-

My ambition is to satisfy my woman.

Buy her diamond, big house, sports car, roses, etc.

i like the last part

My money belongs to her and

Her money belongs to herself

Hehe... that's really nice... but easier said than done... LOL!!!!

Goin' To Work & Comin' Back From Work

Observation of people going to work & getting home after work

[Going to Work]
Scene 1 - the bus
as usual the bus is packed... there's 2 difference
1. The bus is extremely full with people at every corner of the bus
2. some people taking too much space for themselves in the bus... & they don't want to move

[majority would do]
How people rush for the bus??.... like a swarm of bees coming
we know the saying goes "the early bird gets the worm"
meaning here when the bus comes who runs first gets to get in the bus first whether your pregnant or disabled (first come first serve)
but on the other hand... try checking at the back of the bus coz there's a freaking empty one with very little passengers in it... why are you shovering for a bus which is full???!!!
And, When told by bus driver it's full but there's an empty one behind, they scold or they'll give the face "M.Y.O.B" meaning here "Mind Your Own Business"
and the funny part later is they kinda feel stupid when the bus behind moves forward empty... and they go "takda nampak bus itu tadi pun!!!" complaining yahda yahda yahda... stupid isn't it when the bus driver actually told u SO!!!

scene 2 - the bus
what people would do to get the bus stopping inside??...
The BELL...
u know nowadays bell sounds come in a different variety
there's the Chinese one "ni hao, qing kai men" meaning "hello, kindly open the door"
or the ringing sound, the buzzing sound... etc etc... we have it all...
I guess people just love to press the bells...
1. it's like they are deaf or they dun understand the Chinese ring tone??!!

2. morning blurriness the "Oh Sh**!" situation I just woke up and I'm going to miss the stop and I press the bell... when in fact it's like already been press for the 3rd time.. sheesh... which it gets annoying...

3. The attitude of "I DON'T THINK THE DRIVER HEARD ME!" and they press and press and press... when in fact it's like there's still much distant before the bus stop or the bus doesn't stop there...

4. The blur situation... "Where am I ah?" and finally realise reach the bus stop already... and the bus stopped and is about to leave for the next stop and they go... ring! ring! ring!... and sometimes it's too late already too far to stop or not safe... THEY KEEP ON PRESSING... IT'S ANNOYING!!!

5. The "NOT SURE WHICH STOP" and they go press at every single stop coming nearer and go "SORRY WRONG STOP"...

6. The worst kind would be that your leaning on the freaking Post which has a bell and not noticing that they are pressing the bell ... and can scold back....

scene 3 - other vehicles [observed from inside a bus]
yes yes... everyone is in a rush to work...
but why can't you people just stick to your own lane???!!!!

What impatient and inconsiderate people would do to get their way?
{Motorcyclists}
1. They make a new path if they are blocked... breaking the rules going off street...

2. They slick and their ways in between vehicles fast... major cause of accidents

{other vehicles}
"POTONG LINE" where they see an opening they go charging in and LATER trying to fit back in to the actual lane... examples: emergency lanes and bus lanes or lanes that's going to another direction which causes another jam

scene 4 - the LRT
same same with the bus...
it's packed as well but it's constantly available...
WHY RUSH? PLAN YOUR TIME?

situation:-
1. "I'M LATE" huffing and puffing... runs when they hear the train is coming and manage to squeeze themselves in... which results to bags and clothing getting trapped in between the doors or sometimes their hands or butts; falling over people; getting hurt... and sometimes screaming "open the door" when the driver can't hear u or there's non (auto pilot).... really FUNNY

2. The "SMART way" board the opposite train to the station before this one because the Que line is long (long turn)... and hop on back to the actual lane before the others .... NOW THAT'S SMART!!! XD

[Going home from work]
same old routines for the bus, LRT and vehicles...
Even worst with the thoughts in their heads "I'm TIRED so I DON"T GIVE A DAMM"...

scene 5... the cab...
WITH A QUE LINE...
1. minority of people who are impatient and tries to cut ques... so please sound out your voices (it's call public humiliation??!!) if you don't... don't complain or whine because your too shy or too lazy to fight for your own rights...

2. the cab driver doesn't know there's a freaking queuing line or ignorant of it and picks up passengers who cuts the line... so again please sound out!!!

NO POINT OF COMPLAINING TO THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU COZ IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE... IT'S JUST GOING TO KEEP HAPPENING TO YOU!!! KAPPESH??!!

NO QUE LINE
people complain other people taking their cabs... STUPID... there's no Que so be smart, and make the extra effort of getting the cab IF there's a disabled person or a pregnant woman please be courteous give it to them... there's plenty more to go... and your not standing on one feet or blind etc etc and carrying a living soul in your body...

The unEXPECTED visit...

well normal day at work today until the one by one of unexpected visits to my studio... well we had superstar clients coming in today... well that's normal here I mean like erra fazira, ida narina etc... etc... coming into the studios for recording and stuff... well pretty much immune to them coz in ASWARA it's flowing with them around not to mention they are my lecturers.

BUT, I had the most un-EXPECTED visited that came into my studio today....
there I was resting for a bit playing my games while my supervisor doing her work.
and MR. PATRICK TEOH walks in and I was like stunned what is he here for.???
and I don't know how my mouth could come out with "HI PATRICK"
and he's like "hey what are you all working on?" then me and my supervisor saying the word "ANAK?" well I was kind of shocked but covering it... he was like "huh?" then my supervisor was like "you know the barney's flim thing" then he's like "oh YEA!"
They are like talking like he's the boss or something...
Then he brought a friend and said " oh I was jus showing my friend My studios... so carry on then."
I was like huh??? My studio???
he left and I was like asking my supervisor "He owns the studio?"
She's Like "YA!??"

hmmm I'm like GREAT... Patrick Teoh for my boss and owner of the company...
u know it's like an unexpected visit BUT supposedly to be an EXPECTED one...
somemore show bad impression playing games while on the job XP

oh well... now I'll be extra careful... XD

My Work Place... [internship]

yeah finally started my internship... at addaudioex a post production house
u can check it out through the website www.addaudioex.com.my

anyways my first thought of the company is like...

yea! I'm going to work in a multi award winning company...

and at the same time sh** I don't know whether I meet up to the companies expectations

coz I am a freshie... Not much experience... people there must be tough... well I kind of feel like I sentenced my own death sentence... hahaha

But when the day came I saw a total different view...

everything is so laid back even though they take their work seriously...

it's kinda like in uni... On big family... well at least for the departments on the ground floor... XP

The enviroment is like a total house.... I guess long hours in the studios might as well get comfortable...

Well I'm in studio 7 and my studio is pretty cool actually coz we have a life view of the world... we can see the world but people can't see us hahaha... XD

kind of like spying it's really funny when people are doing embarrising stuff XP...

anyways there's a few pictures of what my studio looks like... =D

the live view I was talkin about hehe XD

another view of the studio... Looks like house leh...

one of my supervisors... hehe Faith Tay

Message to [+]. darkblade = I expect you to give back my bag ya once your done drawing...

Menjunjung Duli Mahkota...

Menjunjung Duli Mahkota... fond memories... :) *dazes*

hahaha... you all must be wondering what the heck is "menjunjung duli mahkota" right??

well it's a malay modern-traditional theatre (Bangsawan)

it's a must course for all the 2nd year students in the 4 semester...

anyways It's a sucky story but my year manage to pull it off great...

covering the actual story...

Well I took up the acting role in the production instead of music...

I was the dayang and mak inang as well... had loads of fun...

everyone bonded like a family just like during the orientation... :)

On the day itself... we didn't think the turn out would be that good until we saw the crowd when the curtain opened... we were like WOW... that much people...

well we had 2 successful nights... tons of up and down but all turn out great...

THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT GUYS LOVE YA LOTS

ASK - ASWARA

well I am currently studying in ASK (akademi seni kebangsaan) and not too long ago it got official upgraded to a university into ASWARA which is a sucky name and the worst part the translation doesn't make sense cause it actually suppose to mean Akademi Seni Budaya dan Warisan Negara but instead they call it Akademi Seni Budaya Warisan Kebangsaan which doesn't make sense. But I am happy bout the upgrade besides the STUPID name...

Well it was a hectic and busy time... Just imagine in less than 5 days we (meaning the entire uni which has the population of less than 700 people) changes the whole uni's looks [fresh coat of paint, modified the bathroom... etc] and the students had to put up with the late and long nights of prepairing for the presentations, show...etc just for the arrival of the prime minister.

I got recycled 3 times...

1) being the M.C.

2) an escort for the recipient of achievers in the performing arts

3) do a lil runway for a nyonya batik fashion

4) join the choir for some singing...
wait that's already 4 times...oh well u basically get the point that it's hectic as hell.

And, just imagine my co-host actually fainted on me during the show coz he got recyled like me to... and I have to turn in too a medic at the same time while running the show =P then later got to pose for the press for pictures... etc.. etc.. etc..
But funny thing though I still had time to goof around and take some pictures haha... enjoy~~~

Me and Xavier the M.C's for the day (don't worry he wasn't the one who fainted)

"My Crown" Me goofin around with the Tengkolok

was crowned Ratu Kebaya XD
