After this coming September, another picture will be added on top of my baby picture.
I am still not excited for my convocation. Maybe because I am slow in receiving that excited vibration or maybe because I just don't want to disappoint myself if I planned so much and they don't work out.
Or maybe I am already in Penang that I thought I had the rights to be slow in planning.
Or maybe because I was so worried about financial state for my coming postgraduate studies.
Anyway, here's my unchecked check-list.
1) Photo shoot, haven't decide where, which studio. ( )
2) Clothes and shoes for convocation, haven't buy. ( )
3) Hairdo ( ) [yeah, I had to do something with my messy hair this coming convocation. Gotta change my hairstyle again lo...]
All this can't go on because of no 4...
4) Budget ( ) No budget yet. (-_-")
Well, anyway, the most important thing is that, my family are gonna be happy with their coming convacation. Apart from that, the rest are just minor things.

The last time I had this fanatic syndrome was during my high school years, when I was crazy about Blue. I almost forgot how it felt like to be a fanatic till I met watched them dance on Showdown 8tv!
Elecoldxhot (go to their Facebook fanpage at here. )
YES! THEM!
The five of them who made up Elecoldxhot:
1) Chriz Ooi (leader)
2) Dennis Yin (Tae Yang's lookalike lol)
3) Billy Yap
4)Joe Ang
5) Joe Lin
There are two Joe's and I hope I got their surnames right. ;P
For those who are watching Showdown on 8tv every Wednesday night (9.30 pm), you probably know who they are. For those who don't, let me tell you who they are. They are my current addiction (haha tidak menjawab soalan). And they are the reason why my cellphone Digi and Celcom credits are zero-ing even during this not-so-social period of my life. Okay, serious. For those who don't know Elecoldxhot, they are one of the best dance crews in Malaysia.
From what I've stalked observed, they had joined a lot of dance competitions before, including Astro Battleground. To know more about Elecoldxhot from the members itself, just go to their facebook fanpage here. ;)
Let me tell you my own electric-moment love fanatic-at-first-sight story with them.
Every night when I am at home, I kept switching the TV channel from one to another channel. It was a Tuesday night. I guess that time I had just finished watching Keeping Up With Kardashians (which is another addiction of mine lol) and I turned to 8tv. That hour, 8tv was showing the repeat show of Showdown 2o11 and because I had nothing else to watch, I just watched it. At first, I was impressed with HMC Phlow's dance moves, and wanted to turn to another channel, but when the host (Hafiz) said that Borneo Crew is going to perform soon, I just waited for them to perform but before their turn it was Elecoldxhot's turn. And guess what, after I watched Elecoldxhot's performance, I was so impressed and without a doubt, I knew for sure that they were going to win the best performance of the night, and I was right. ;)
Elecoldxhot week 3 performance - the theme was replicate and represent.
It was the first time I set my eyes on Elecoldxhot when watching this performance from them, I became a regular audience of this show from that moment onwards.
Honestly, I never been so fanatic or impressed with any local groups, stars or celebrities until I watched them on TV. Seriously, they are going to be the next big thing in Malaysia. ;)
So don't forget to vote for Elecoldxhot by typing SD ECX to 33399.
Elecoldxhot during week 6. Photo grabbed from here.
I rather be broke than to be heartbroken if this deserving crew not winning this competition. So I will constantly vote for them. For Elecoldxhot fans out there, you know what you gotta do. ;)

Do you notice that the picture above looks like a scary smiley face? XD
No, I am not talking about the taste of the horrible cupcakes above. They were disaster, but on my defense, they were edible. XD
Do you know that feeling of, you don't like to do something, but since you are asked to do that thing by someone you love, then you finally force yourself to love doing that thing because that thing was supposed to be sure thing, but after days of feeling unsure yet prepared to do that thing, you finally know that the thing is not a sure thing?
And the probability of making it a sure thing is very thin?
What would you feel? Relieved? Disappointed? Cheated?
Okay, maybe you don't get the thing I was crapping about in the first paragraph since it was almost like a monologue to myself. Let me be a little clearer. If you read my previous post, Kalau Aku Boleh Lambung Syiling Destiny, you would know that I was supposed to take on a temporary job that I do not like, uhuk temporary teacher uhuk. But then, since my mom said it is at an all boys primary school and I would be teaching the lower primary students, I was okay and quite excited with it.
Thus, I brought my formal attires back home, and bought a pair of formal shoes just in case. At first, I was skeptical. I had a habit of hard to believe something until I encounter it. Maybe you would say I have trust issues but then I did not want to be too sure about something so that I would not be disappointed later. For example, like the master application that I am applying now. When I bade farewell to my course mates, my course mates told me "Hey, we're gonna meet again, during the master." But I was still... skeptical. It's not like we already promised a place there.
But then, if the case is reversed, where you were promised a place, and you kept asking that if it is a sure thing and people kept assuring you that "Of course, it's a sure thing since the headmaster said he wanted to choose you for his school." So I tried to be more optimistic and sure, and tried to be prepared, though not really prepared. :P
But then, yesterday I just got a news, I don't know how to describe it, whether it was a bad news or good news, when my mom told me that the officer at the education department at my town told the headmaster that they will choose the temporary teacher instead of the headmaster himself and they told him they already had another candidate for that position that I was promised to last time. So, my mom asked me if I still wanted to apply teaching temporarily for other school. I was like... " I am not ready to teach at another school. I prefer to teach at SK Sacr*d H****. And if I applied but then I got offered at another school, I rather don't want to take it." Wow, you must think I sounded like a perasan diva, trying to be choosy, when I am supposed to be in the position of accepting any offers right now.
Err, on my defense, I am doing good for the other school, you know. First, I don't like teaching that much, so I can't be flexible at it. I prefer teaching at primary schools, and to teach at a school where at least I am familiar with the atmosphere (I've been to the headmaster's office once, or twice. :P) I don't want to experience the torture of adapting to an atmosphere for the sake of doing something I don't like. If it was something that I like, it would be a different story, but then, this sacrifice is not worth it, even for the money.
So, it's either all or nothing. If I am going to teach at the first school I was promised, I would take the job, but if I could not get the position at the school that I wanted, instead of torturing myself teaching at the school that I am not familiar with, I choose to continue my position as the homemaker and try my best to be as productive as possible by doing some gardening, cooking, and if God-willing, baking. I still want to be able to choose no matter what. Though I am in no position to be choosy now.
So that's what I am feeling now. Bittersweet. I am happy because I do not need to do what I don't like to do but at the same time, I am disappointed I am gonna lose a lot on experience, lose my chance to compensate my dissatisfaction towards my previous teaching skill, lose my chance to earn money which I could use for my convocation, and my chance of putting something good to see on resume. And ironically, I am quite sad that I would lose my chance to be called "Cikgu" once more. It was quite a long time since I last heard people refer me that way. Funny I don't like to teach but I like it when people call me that.
So yeah, it was sweet, but bitter at the same time. But then, if I am going to be a homemaker for my rest of my stay in Sibu, I am going to make sure that I make full use of my holiday by being as productive as possible. This home will never be the same again when I leave for Penang later, I promise you that.

It may be late for me to wish a happy new year but well, I still wana wish it. It's the 12th day of year 2011 and there were rumours going around that Facebook will close down on March. I may be bluffing if I say that Facebook has no impact on my life. Facebook, in fact, has affected my life so much. I treated it like my open diary. Yea, I know, a blog like this is an open diary too, but Facebook is more interactive and your friends can comment on the spot about your thoughts and you can do the same on theirs. It affects my life socially and financially (where I can just use the tagging service in facebook instead of sending sms-es). Hehe.
Why is it not such an exaggeration if I say that my university life mainly revolves around facebook?
Facebook lets me share my thoughts openly with my friends. Facebook enables me to see who has the same thought as me, and who doesn't. Sometimes, I know people will say that it is 'wu liao' and 'ciak pa eng' but I tell you, it was through facebook that I could borrow a text book from my junior, and it was through facebook I know the latest news, such as when do I need to get the result slip. It has done me more good than harm. And of course the harm that facebook did to me was to distract me from my studies, but apart from that, facebook had prosper my life socially.
But I remember there were times where facebook nearly jeopardize my relationship with my cousin and my eldest sister. I remember when my eldest sister commented on my status when I lost my cell phone, I retorted back at her comment sarcastically and I knew she was hurt. And there was another time, when I went through my cousin's facebook wall, I was oversensitive and misjudged my cousin's friend comment as racist, and I bashed my cousin's friend with hurtful comments, and consequently, I jeopardized my cousin's friendship with his friend. I did apologized at the end, but the thing happened. I couldn't erase it with an apology, right? Even my second sister and my bestie said that what I commented was too harsh. My sister told me it could be just a casual remark and good-natured jokes between friends and I took it a bit too seriously.
Despite the negative outcomes, facebook is still important to my life, especially right now., and it is a lie if I tell you that facebook closing down would not affect me.
To end this post, I would like to include the 10 most memorable posts of 2010 that I've shared in facebook.
MY OPEN THOUGHTS LAST YEAR:
7 December 2010, at 3:08 pm: I wonder if this Xmas tree that we put up in our house will survive through Xmas season. With more than a dozen cats around which hold the threat of sabotaging your Xmas tree anytime, I may not sound so paranoid for even thinking that it's might not be a crazy idea to insure every single thing in your house.

And she can't believe she fell in love with Korean artistes and songs too - (thanks to Steppu Chan). These are the Asian jewels she has overlooked all this while. And oh how she wish she did learned Chinese properly last time, she would have understood the meaningful lyrics of the songs. :(
November 3, 2010 at 8:02pm :· Menurut Siti Hawa Suhaili (2010), Facebook bukan sahaja digunakan oleh majikan untuk mengetahui bakal pekerja yg mereka ingin upah dengan lebih mendalam, tapi boleh digunakan oleh kita semua untuk mengenali bakal life partner dengan lebih mendalam melalui proses stalking, dan sebagainya.

Interframe: And I wonder, when facebook ends, where can I share these short thoughts with my friends? Hmm..
My mom always tell me not to be too choosy while looking for a job.
I know that. I know I am considered choosy because the first priority for me in choosing a job for me is whether I like that job or not. Not the salary nor the classification of the job whether it is blue collar or white collar [I am even clueless which job falls on which category (-_-") ].Whether people will classify the job as good one or not, as long as I like it and it's a clean job, then I'm on for it. I don't give a damn about what others think of my job because it's my job, my career and it is for me to decide whether it is a right job for me (or not).
I am already feeling the heat of job hunting cause I will graduate next year. Most of my peers already had their own careers and I realized that I am going to join them in the real adult world soon - the working world. No institution like university to protect you anymore, no privilege of getting student price for the services that you want to purchase, nothing.
My mom suggested me to continue with Master and she told me not to worry so much about the school fee but worry more about my future. It's nice to hear some comforting words like that but at the moment, I am done with studying. I mean, there's more to life than education, right? Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against education but for me, education is not only gained at class and lectures, but experience in the real world is an education itself.
I would like to continue Master if I can make time for it, but it won't be right after my degree I guess. I have not decide what I want to Master in, which field I like the best, so why indulge myself in something which I am still unsure of, right?
Personally, I would like to gain experience in a job first before I go for my dream career. My dream career is to be a writer, columnist or a journalist - anything to do with writing or being creative. Then again, before pursuing for this dream career, the job that I would like to experience first is the job that my senior is doing, which is to serve the community. I mean, what job is cooler than to get paid for doing good deeds for others right? Some would even do it for free.
Still, I have to think it over. I want my future career not to revolve around earning money or getting promotion alone, but something which is more important like it involves my passion, gives me personal satisfaction and not to forget, giving back to the community.
So, what is your definition of a career happiness? Is it a stable job, stable income, promotion, or doing what you enjoy doing? I hope it is the last one.
Whatever it is, I hope your pursuit for career happiness will meet a good outcome.
My mom always tell me not to be too choosy while looking for a job.
I know that. I know I am considered choosy because the first priority for me in choosing a job for me is whether I like that job or not. Not the salary nor the classification of the job whether it is blue collar or white collar [I am even clueless which job falls on which category (-_-") ].Whether people will classify the job as good one or not, as long as I like it and it's a clean job, then I'm on for it. I don't give a damn about what others think of my job because it's my job, my career and it is for me to decide whether it is a right job for me (or not).
I am already feeling the heat of job hunting cause I will graduate next year. Most of my peers already had their own careers and I realized that I am going to join them in the real adult world soon - the working world. No institution like university to protect you anymore, no privilege of getting student price for the services that you want to purchase, nothing.
My mom suggested me to continue with Master and she told me not to worry so much about the school fee but worry more about my future. It's nice to hear some comforting words like that but at the moment, I am done with studying. I mean, there's more to life than education, right? Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against education but for me, education is not only gained at class and lectures, but experience in the real world is an education itself.
I would like to continue Master if I can make time for it, but it won't be right after my degree I guess. I have not decide what I want to Master in, which field I like the best, so why indulge myself in something which I am still unsure of, right?
Personally, I would like to gain experience in a job first before I go for my dream career. My dream career is to be a writer, columnist or a journalist - anything to do with writing or being creative. Then again, before pursuing for this dream career, the job that I would like to experience first is the job that my senior is doing, which is to serve the community. I mean, what job is cooler than to get paid for doing good deeds for others right? Some would even do it for free.
Still, I have to think it over. I want my future career not to revolve around earning money or getting promotion alone, but something which is more important like it involves my passion, gives me personal satisfaction and not to forget, giving back to the community.

And yes, I am now a KOMAS crew. Though temporarily.. ;) hehe.
Don't believe? Here's the proof. Me and my two lovely seniors.
I got to know about this volunteer thingy from a friend of mine, Man Lee. Though it was in the exam season, I could not lose this opportunity to participate in something happening like this. So voila, me, two seniors and two juniors jumped up to this opportunity to volunteer in Freedom Film Festival 2010 at Kompleks Penyayang Pulau Pinang, and the rest of the process, as they say, is history...
The two of us with Sarah, one of the organizers.
Counter girls in action!
Me and my seniors & juniors kept switching roles and taking turns in our duty so that each of us could have the opportunity to watch the movies.
We switched between the duty as registration receptionist and the usher - which is also a good thing to train us to be more versatile (hak3) besides being not bored to death to stuck with one job the whole day.
The three winning films for this year are namely; 1) Pilih (by Loo Que Lin) 2) Hak Dinafikan (by Abri Yok Chopil & Shafie bin Dris) 3) Kisah Tauke Mancis & Minyak Tumpah (by Sheridan Mahavera & Siti Nurbayah Nadzmi)
Pilih is briefly about the student body election in Malaysian campuses and how the AUKU (Akta Universiti and Kolej Universiti) had put a boundary to the students' freedom and rights in decision-making.
Hak Dinafikan, on the other hand, portrayed how the orang Asli protested against a proposed new land policy, and among the faces there I recognized is Kak Tijah, one of the orang Asli active spokeperson.
Kisah Tauke Mancis & Minyak Tumpah depicted the story of the extremism regarding the relocation of a temple - and how some intolerance occur among neighbours in a neighbourhood. This film is somewhat daring for portraying a little sensitive issue regarding races and religions.
Among the three, I liked Pilih the best because it was something I can relate to, which is the student body election. I never really knew my rights as a university student until I watched this film.
There were a lot of other films but I did not get to watch them because it was about the overseas countries.
Quite a crowd turning up during the night of 13th November. ;)
Last but not least, say hi to the friendly usher, my junior Vera. ;)
Actually, KOMAS did come to Sarawak for this FFF screening at Miri but the feedback was cold. Not many who turned up for the screening. Perhaps the issues being shown were not that relevant to Sarawakians compared to here at Peninsular. Thus, we Sarawakians were encouraged to propose and idea for short films to document it back there so that the other Sarawakians can relate to it. Issues? haha. I have no trouble looking for issues as the first issue back in my hometown Sibu would be about gangsterism. How many of us Sibu people are daring to do some short film about that? Hmm..
What I can conclude from my experience here was that there are many issues around the country but many do not dare to document or even to speak about it. Most of us just kept quiet, since it did not affect us directly. Well, I am one of them. When I saw injustice, I rage and vent my anger over it but I did not do anything which may lessen or even make a little difference to that injustice.
Wow you may say that I start to involve politics here but that was not it. I want to talk about social responsibility. Since I couldn't do something about it, all I can do for now is to blog about it.
And yeah, I had fun volunteering at FFF for the priceless experience!
PS: Thanks KOMAS (as if they are reading my blog lol but anyway) for the free t-shirt, free food and the pocket money lol. Thanks for rewarding me for doing something which I would do for free!
