oh, the headache

things going on my mind :
Lee Hom's Heartbeat
fantasies
plans
internship


surrently listening to Leehom's song, so much memories flooding in about this year, and it's gonna end in 6 days.. i don't know about u, but my year has been filled with ups and downs... too much to mention... but i feel sad to leave 2009, coz' imma be 21 in 2010.. i feel damn old being 20 d..

will post about my birthday...

but now, i'm worrying about my internship.. i don't wanna go 8TV coz' i dun wan ppl to think i'm going in because of family relationship, but if i'm really given a bad company, should i consider? or should I just go in for an interview anyway? my top 3 placements would be Red Comm, Astro, and Popiah.. next in line, Grand Brilliance and 8TV... I know those are top places but that's y goals must be set high, but then again, if i fail, i fall harder... next sem will be a super-duper hectic one, i don't even know if I've got enough time to go interview.. oh, please let me make it through black and white if not with flying colours...

i know it's been so long that I haven't posted about my holidays back in Oct, trust me, i'm working on it...

Departure of an uncle

things going on my mind :
FINALS tomoro... progress 0%

my uncle officially departed on 9th Dec @ 2.45pm... after havin stayed at my place for 1 year due to lung cancer...
initially i din felt anything.. but when the cremation time came, i cried like nobody's biz.. i was wondering why i'd cry like that... dunno, guess it was sad that i'd never see him again, memories came flooding by and the tears came rolling down, it was as if it was burning the memories as well...
it sucks to be the juniors, my knees screamed when we did repetitive kneeling and praying during the prayers...
on the other hand, the cremation process was quite advanced, i'd have thought that ppl would manually push the coffin in and start the fire like an oven, but wat i saw today is like a coffin conveyor belt.. like passing through a security check conveyor belt sort of thing, the doors were opened, it was pushed in by a touch of a button(maybe a few) the doors then closed, another touch of the button and 3 more last respects paid, the burning began, u can't exactly hear sounds of burning body or anything, there was just sounds of burning i guess, it kinda sounded like the cooking hood working.. collection of ashes is tomoro, which mum, aunts and cousins will do the honour of spreading it into the sea.. exam's tomoro, can't go, which is another sad thing..

it was really an eye-opener..

things going on my mind :
A-Mei's Yong Gan
what to do for my birthday?
THIV'S BACK!!!

so much happening, and it's coming coming to an end, 2009 i mean..

Firstly, i'd like to highlight major things that happened this year,

let's start with 3 AnVils splitting up..
read more here (there's not gonna be much, but at least there are photos) :

the break up

we don't talk, but i guess if anything came up, my door will still be opened...

had another big tumble when we accepted S as our group member, which eventually resulted in the tumble of our assignment

the departure of my friends to Aus & NZ to study, something, i'd wish i had, but am now contented with what i've got, now they're back, what perfect timing! I MISSED YOU GUYS!! leads to...
a brighter note,

found true friends

went for holidays with those true friends

went clubbing with them too...

might have gotten messed up marks for THE assignment, but at least we had fun doing it through all those midnights

then there was my 19th year.. was a well spent year i guess... so bummed that it's coming to an end... my TEENS are gone! i feel old already K.. pls let me emo a while... gonna live my last TEENs day at Library, no, not the UTAR one or the ones with REAL books, the place for drinking at e@Curve... Uni friends has got me booked for 14th to go there, FINALLY get to drink my Hoedaarden, just found out I've been pronouncing it wrongly, it's HOO-garden.. not Hoe... shall treat them to a pint and maybe try Stella Artois (Are-twa) kinda sucks that my birthday ends almost the same with the YEAR.. damn bummed k.. my last Y2 semester will end next year May, internship's next.. den FY.. den work!! arr... good times past so fast!! i want my youth.. but if the world is coming to an end in 21.12.2012, at least I get to celebrate my 23rd and last birthday b4 we all die.. or not, depends on whether some1 would be kind enough to spare me 1 billion euros to board the arc..

that day 28th Nov, was quite a lucky day for me, i had class, after class, went to cold storage, bought some stuffs and wanted to put in car, saw Joyce Wong at one of the DVD stores at the entrance of Cold Storage, went to Curve's RedBox for a session for Shin Nee's birthday! den sent them home and picked mum from work, den sped off to Curve AGAIN for Niy's 20th at TGIF, i thought I was late, mana tau I was early a slight bit, kata 8pm, 9pm only they were there.. anyways, back to the lucky part.. as we sat, we were all hungry, so menus took all the space my eyes could see, after we ordered and settled down, at the corner of my eye, i saw a guy holding his baby, this guy with ponytail was actually Que Haidar, one of my favourite Malay actors, loved his acting in Cinta, also one of my favourite movies made in Malaysia... enough to be said i was smitten and saw much of him.. smoking, his wife Linda is really pretty.. such cute daughters as well... that was quite a day for me.... btw.i was also stuffed over the brim that day...

until then, this is jOyCe signing out at 11.27pm(thinesh's birthday), 6th December 2009

ps: so what if you have a celeb in your group, didn't it suck that day when they weren't there? such a disappointment, remind me why i wanted to talk to her again?
