Moon Jae-Shin

The effect of sleeping at 4 a.m. every day finally kicks in. Feeling weak all over.

Been streaming for Sungkyunkwan Scandal! I don't have free time because of this drama. A very good one. It offers much more than just typical melodramatic love triangles (or squares). Confucius teachings, richly-developed character, corrupted politics, struggles to survive, extreme poverty, the heart of scholar that seeks the truth, looking up to your father, charm of gisaeng, complexity of five(or more)-sided relationship, greed for power and of course, beautiful friendship of the Jalgeum Quartet! I don't want to over-analyze coz it takes out the fun but this is one drama that truly feeds my soul. Kinda heavy but in a very fun way. Watched episode 17 and 18 without subs but thanks to other hardcore fans that did live recaps, I managed to understand. The Internet does amazing thing, no? It is true that actions speak louder than words but there are time when you need WORDS to understand actions..otherwise you'll misunderstand it.

I have a habit of falling for the second hero. I always do. Except in Cinderella's Unni (Gi Hoon is so hawt!!). Same here, I am rooting for Geoul-Oh Moon Jae-Shin even though it is obvious he won't end up with the heroin. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE WAY HE LOVES! Yeorim Gu Yoong Ha is my fav character anyway, always by the sidelines and admitting he is afraid to fight and afraid to lose. A characteristic I know very well. :)

The last two episodes will be aired next week in Korea I guess, and I could die of anticipation! KBS Astro 391 will probably air the last episode in Dec perhaps?Good luck waiting Mum. I don't have that much patience. Again, the Internet does LOTS of amazing wonders. Ha Ha.

It has been a while since I last got hooked to K-drama. Even BOF failed to amaze me. Am so looking forward for next week. Please don't let anything happen to Jae-Shin. It breaks my heart!! That smile is so melting. You are a hottie Yoo In Ah.

i sincerely forgot where I got this image from.

You Can't Choose Your Family

It is sad that we have to wait for a funeral to be back in Tambunan. Went to pay our last respect to daddy's father, Apah in St Theresa church yesterday. It is not my story to tell about our grandfather because I never had the chance to know him. But I know that he was a great father and grandfather to our Tambunan family. The measure of your life is the love you leave behind when you are gone. Rest in peace Apah.

That journey triggers different kind of emotions, but some stuffs are better left un-said. All I can say is that I am truly blessed to have Mum as my mother. Seriously words can't describe how highly I think of her and the way she handled things. I don't even have half her strength. :)

You can choose your boyfriend, your friends but you can't choose to which family you'll be born into. No matter how distant emotions can be, the same blood runs through your veins and nothing in the world could ever change that. I am glad Mum raised us NOT to be bitter towards the past.

Kelawat or Mogong, I am blessed with great family on both sides!

And right now, I am typing with a majestic night view of the grand Mount Kinabalu. Cool (literal and figurative) weekend getaway with the family. I couldn't ask for more.

Everyone Ought To Know.

That I graduated. Yes, the whole wide world had to know this. (dengan penuh sarcasm)

Sembilan puloh lapan peratus (sekadar anggaran) recently-graduated friends memakai gambar profil tema yang sama. I am one of them! :) Clearly we're proud of our accomplishment.

Photoshoot with non-coursemate friends..and also friends of a friend.

I wished I had taken more pics with my course-mates. It could be the last time I see them in person. Too sad!

Okay, I'll be working on my FB album soon.

TenTenTen

Sungguh tipikal mau post kisah konvokesyen ini, but I am not going to hurt anyone by being typical. (:

Oct 10th, 2010 marks the day I officially graduated from UMS. It was just some formal ceremony acknowledging our graduation, fake scrolls handed out but it really means a lot. Parents and grandparents were there, and there is nothing more precious than seeing their proud smile!

Thanks for believing in me mum. This is for YOU! And for grandpa, thanks for expecting too much from me. The thought of I-shall-not-disappoint you actually motivates me. (:

Bachelor of Science with Honours (Mathematics with Economics) was one tough degree. Obtaining any degree is tough, no matter what it is, each with it's own challenges. Warmest heartfelt gratitude to my lecturers for letting me pass. Especially Dr A. I am so indebted to her!

Only managed to take picture with Fazli and Nessha amongst the massive crowd. And of course, my lovely besties Adel and Claud.

Pesta bunga-bungaan. Semua berlainan arah pandangan. T__T

Big bro is represented by Spongebob! Thanks siblings for that heavy prezzie, flowers, teddy bears, toys, balloons and Ferrero Rocher. I think I dropped one item during the ribut kuat. And I messed up my hair and the hood!=.="

Thanks Uncles&Aunties for that congratulatory hugs. Am glad I can be another graduate in the family.

Thanks little cuzzies for joining the celebration dinner. Grow up and be better than I am. It's frightening how smart you guys are.

I still can't recite pi value to 10 decimal point even though I am a maths graduate but I certainly have different outlook on any kind of problems now. That is what maths had taught me. As for what's next, I still have no idea. But there's no free lunch, so I'll definitely try to make lotsa money (or marry someone who makes lotsa money). That is what economics had taught me. Being successful means something different to each person, I'll try to keep that in mind.

All those long-winding thoughts and non-edited pictures comes to the conclusion that 10.10.10 was a happy day indeed. The cliché saying about the Lord answering prayers are slightly overused, but yeah, it is true. I graduated.

Someone New

Meet my new love.

Pixie.

She's a cupcake pixie from a magic land. She loves escapology and cups of tea. Much like me ^^

Pixie is my second Momiji after Mabel.

Sista bought this all the way from MPH, MidValley as an advanced convocation prezzie, I think. xoxo sista Ludj!

Speaking of convo, I AM REALLY EXCITED like everyone else is. Been thinking about posting up FB profile pic with my robe and mortar board. Ok, I know, too early.^__^

p.s.: Momiji is not a toy.

Summer Has Fallen

Summer had looong gone. Am seeing fall collections in the fashion stores, but oh-well, who cares about seasons changing here anyway?We could only care about global warming. heh.

Had a hustle-bustle week. Even in this unemployed-couch-potato state, I still have my to-do list. Thank You Lord for that.

After one month hiatus, One Piece 598 is finally out. I love that Eiichiro Oda! I truly admire his talent! Thank You Lord, I discovered a whole new world of imagination through this manga.

Finally watched August Rush (still having goosebumps, it is sooo good) and Spirited Away. Movies that actually made me think and touches my heart. Thank You Lord for good music and movies.

Several convo business have to be settled, finally I'm graduating. Only the Lord knows how much I'm thankful for this. I thank You Lord.

And I am not done with my convo-shopping. Thank You Lord for good economy.

I am blessed for so much, so I am accountable for much.

Happy October!
