The end of exams?

Hi there~!
With the clock showing 5pm today, it marks the last 21 hours more to go before the start of the last paper of my exam XD
Sure I want this over with and I' already looking forward to my trip home, where I might just got for a family holiday for this year's chinese new year holiday *jumps with joy*
but seriously I am getting a bit too ahead of myself...
I have NO IDEA what is going to come out for tomorrow's paper.
I mean, literally ZERO~
What can I say?
The lecturers didn't leave anything behind, and I kinda lost my paper which tells me the topics that have been taught in the last 5 months, so I am technically doomed >.<
To top it off, I have not attended the posting for this particular two subjects, and so I am completely clueless about both subjects.
*shrugs* owh well, will just randomly read and hope I am able to crap up something in tomorrow's paper?

I have yet to start taking pictures again with my own camera, so sorry, so nothing interesting to upload at the moment~
I started to note that I tend to take random pictures off google that seem to be related to my posts so that they don't seem go colorless and down.
Owh well, must have been a subconscious move of my own to ensure that there is at least ONE picture in every post.
Why? don't ask, ask my subconscious XD

*Yawn* this weather is not helping, I should be trying to study at the moment.
Gosh, not to mention I still have hospital sessions tomorrow and the day after, that means I won't be able to go back until Friday evening~
It's ok, I know home is just waiting for my return *jumps with joy*
The weather is so hot, it's making me sooo.... lazy, hehe~
Sue me, this drowsy feeling is not helping at all.
Guess I'll go to nap awhile before I start struggling in ENT and opthalmology~

Signing off here (at the moment), piece~

Times with a best friend~

Hey guyZ, (for those wondering, it's me on the left lol)
Taken awhile back at 1st Avenue, Penang, with two people I would do almost anything in my power for~
Although friendship is something vague to me, I'm still learning... hopefully~
This brings me to my post today~

What does the term BEST friend mean?
What does it imply?
Does it mean you'd do anything for that person?
Does it mean you know each other's whims in and out that you're able to make them feel better?
Or does it just mean being there for them?

Till lately, the term BEST friend has not been much to me.
I have many ACQUAINTANCES as I would put it, and even fewer FRIENDS to begin with, so, if that's the case, how can I even have a/few BEST friends?
Friends are overrated I use to say~
Friends come and go, which is true enough~
Friends make use of you, get what they want, and leave you to your own devices until they need you again, and its goes on and on until someone caves in and sounds off their dissatisfaction.
BUT, then again, doesn't that sound like any plain argument, regardless of the relationship?
When friends are close, society becomes unhappy and starts maiming such friends with ridicule (known as gossip) and it does not stop there.
No it doesn't, thus society is a cruel place.
When friends become something more than friends, besties, people are jealous they have such a special thing, and relentlessly try to ear them apart, using hidden tactics and underhanded means to get them to turn on each other~
But no, some besties stay strong, and may even become something more~
BROhood between guyZ, fast gurlfriends among gurls, and besties, maybe even a relationship of a romantic nature.
AND STILL the society plans to meddle around and try to break things up as they relentlessly point fingers, spread rumors and shun them as seen appropriate by society~

Oooh haf to run off for lunch, brb~
Piece~

Nothing much going on~

 Hey guyZ~
Just had a haircut and although I took this picture awhile back, it is without a doubt, the closest representation to the hair which I am having on the top my head at the moment XD

Yesh, I might have deserved that finger flick at that time, but that's a story to be told another time.
Hehe~
I just thought I would clean up my cbox and check for comments (which is apparently non-existent since no one ever reads or blogs these days much) as well as check out the blogs that I usually follow~
*sigh* No new updates~
I mean come on people, I know we are all busy, but what happened to taking just a 10-15 minute break to just type out something on your blog?
It may not be much but hey, sometimes an old friend might come along and even catch up with what is happening with you while reading your blog.
True I might not be the one to preach about such things, but hey, i haven't been taking a lot of pictures lately.
Continuous assessment is around the corner, and well, there is a lot of reading to do (which I am currently procrastinating)

I don't know if I have uploaded this picture, but just to let those following me know what has been going on~

Running and finishing a 21km Penang bridge marathon was a great achievement for me.
Yes it took longer than I expected (2 hour 45 minutes) but hey, at least I finished and got the finisher's medal XD

Oooh, look at the time, will run off for dinner 1st XD

Happy new year?

16 days into 2013, and I have yet to make a new year post lol
Happy new year people, albeit a very late wish, I assure you it is with every ounce of sincerity as I would have wished anyone on the first day of the year itself.

What has happened lately?
Well, there's the fact that I lost my bluetooth headset for hands free driving, so I got myself a universal bluetooth headset instead, which costed me quite a bit T.T

Aaaaaaaaaaaand, examZ are around the corner, so I'll just stop here at the moment~
Take care everyone~

Merry Belated Christmas?

Happy belated christmas?

LOL I know it's kinda late... No excuses for myself. Been at home for the past 1 week, free from judging eyes and ungrateful people back on campus.
So, will try to be non-nonchalant this post round. People have been 'complaining' that my posts lately have been too ominous comparatively to my posts all those years back.
Will try to just post stuff that has been happening to me with more real life pics aite? *winks*

SO, christmas~!

Christmas at Straight Quay, Penang island...

Christmas at Amanjaya mall, Sungai Petani

Was sending back a friend to the bus stop the other day (yesh, she was on the way home, my flight back home was a few days away, booo~) so I stopped by blackball that opened recently with the new Amanjaya mall at Sungai Petani...
Had my customary set A2 Winter Melon, cold NOT hot yes?
What? Can't blame by craving for cold sweet stuff yesh?
Everyone has that XD
First it was all nice and cold, sitting right in front of me...

A minute or so later it was gone *sob sob*

Never too late for desert people ^^
Found out that in the northern region, Blackball desert is all over the place, as comparatively to Snowflake, which is more predominant in the Klang valley and Selangor region.
Go get yours today people *whoops*
Eat all the deserts~! XD

Guess I ran out of pics for now... Will try and snap more photos while I'm sitting here at home.
Maybe get myself a better pouch to bring my stuffs and camera around.

On a separate note, I finally finished playing Assassin Creed 3.. *phew* took me awhile XD
Playing through all the small mission quests now, but essentially, I am proud to say I have completed the main story line ^^

The storyline this time was fun, featuring a whole new time-era, characters and design which we are so accustom to in Assassin Creed 1,2, brotherhood, and revelation.
There the tree climbing part ability, the hunting part of the game, as well as the naval game play (which was mildly amusing and fun to toy around with)
Overall, the ending could have been better, but I have no qualms about the storyline itself as well as the challenges within the game.
Sure like all games there are a few bugs that I'd prefer fixed, but hey, can't have everything now can we?
hehe...

Then I noticed there are a few things that caught my eye in the game, so I went to check out Ubisoft's website to see if there are such merchandise designed based on the the in-game designs~
Found the hoodie which I adored since Assasin Creed 1...

Also a single strap backpack which I have been looking round for since like forever, lol~

The latest hoodie design from Ubisoft based on Assassin Creed 3, which features the eagle embroidering on 

the front of the hood, but me rather have the large eagle embroidering in the 1st hoodie lol~

What can I say?
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY~!

If only I could just walk into the store and get one now, LOL~
Too bad its on the other side of the globe, boohoo...

Well I guess this post wasn't that bad now was it?
Will have to take more pics in the future if I am to reform my blog to its former glory.
Luck to me people? hehe~
Take care and enjoy the remaining days of the holidays~
Oh, and a happy new year, should I be unavailable to udpate a new year post XD

Gossip? Past time leisure?

As a Noun Casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true.

Via Wikipedia; (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gossip)
Gossip is idle talk or rumour about the personal or private affairs of others. It is one of the oldest and most common means of sharing facts, views and slander. This term is used pejoratively by its reputation for the introduction of errors and variations into the information transmitted, and it also describes idle chat, a rumor of personal, or trivial nature.

Now you know, hehe~

A simple act of talking about someone to others is already gossip, albeit its not in a person's interest to spread what you know about another to another person, but yeah, its GOSSIP.
That's what it is, indirect slandering of the person.
The fact is, we ALL gossip one way or another.
The best part is, not just gurls gossip, but guys do too~!
*nod nod* that's right~! I mean, just by turning to the person beside and by pointing to another guy across the room and saying "Hey, do you know that guy in the blue shirt? Yes that one? I heard he's gay"
BOOM
The birth of a gossip, LOL
Easy as that eh?
If I'd get a dollar for every time a gossip was born within a km range of myself, daym, I'd be a millionaire within the week ^^

So, I have just established how EASY it is to start a gossip, so have you heard this phrase before?

I'm sure you have, even if its not those exact words...
Maybe it could have been paraphrased in many other ways~
Like....
"Did you know that~"
"Yesterday, someone told me that~"
"There was this one time, I heard that~"
and the list goes on and on and on...

So, WHY do people gossip?
If they do, how does it work?

Knowing that you are spreading the news about SOMEONE that seems to give you a sense of relief that you have saved another soul from being a victim of that someone?

Making sure that the dreaded individual that you hate their guts so passionately does not have a simple and happy life?

Or you're just doing it to be "in the circle"?

But seriously, what gives?
Just because you don't like someone, don't want the person to be happy, to get back at the person, just to past the time, to keep in touch with your fellow gossipers, to ensure the world doesn't end at 21/12/12, FOR WHATEVER REASON...
Do you have to?
You can do your part by being the end of of the gossip loop by just hearing and shutting up.

No harm knowing what is going on, but one doesn't have to be part of the vicious cycle no?
Unless....
You TOO have an issue with that person for some reason and start adding salt to the wound by making it even worse *thumbs up*

Googled gossip and the results were hilarious~

So that answers A LOT
They are just NETWORKING~!
Gawd, why didn't I think of that?
Cuz why?
That is just a STUPID justification for spreading stuffs and what not about people that you urself don't really know about~

Need I say more?

Fai fai No-Reason's weather forecast:
The breeze and wind that has been so comfortable these past months have been comforting. However I can only hope that they stay around longer before moving on. It has done much for my happiness and comfort of my state of mind~

What is going on?

Updates?
Just thought of putting a regular non-mystical post.
It's been a while since I've done one.
All the fear of people looking and finding what is going on with me~
Well, what ever~ I'll post what I want to post yes?

Ultimate frisbee?
Not familiar with it?
Go google it up XD It's a team sport and requires everything a team sport needs (discipline, teamwork, trust, etc) but most of all, spirit of the game.
What is this spirit of the game you ask?
Well, technically this game runs WITHOUT a referee, and any disputes are solved among the players themselves.
To cut to the chase, I attended the Penang frisbee HAT 2012 at Padang polo, obviously at Penang island lol~
Me in my gear towards the end of the 1st day~ (Gosh I need a haircut)

It was a fun 2 day event, exhausting yes, wet yes (what? it was raining~! XD) but definitely fun..
Other than a minor scrape on my left leg (had to dive to defend a point from being scored against us) and some skin tone darkening, I think it was a nice 2 days of frisbee under the sun~

Yesh, I'm multitone for now XD

Thnx to my underarmor top, I didn't have to undergo the pain of sunburn on my arms.

That event kick started my December as it took place on the 1st to 2nd of December 2012.
Having attended the first hat and 2nd hat 2010 and 2012 respectively, while getting last place in BOTH years I might add, I proud to say this year my team got 10th placing this year out of 16 teams...
Nothing much, but its luck and progress I guess~
We'll see next year~

Attended the Penang Marathon 2012 as well and finished in 2 hours 45 minutes~
Will post up more on that in the next post XD
Don't really have much pics on that since I went and ran alone, hehe~

Before I start ranting on other stuff, I'll sign off for now..
Need to eat something before my stomach starts to object~

The sun was out of the clouds today,
So I hid in my room out of sight,
For running out now to relax and play,
I'd collapse before the sun's might.

Friends we know are fickle things,
When it is safe they wander by,
First sign of danger; when the bell rings

They run off to safety; all promises a lie.

So when all is silent; safe at night,

As of now I'm safe from beings of the light,

For friends are devious; often leaving a mark,

Contrary to the belief of scary things in the dark.

In the midst of the night a few remain,

Regardless how bleak, no matter how vain,
They shelter us protectively; against the cold and rain,
Shielding us against treachery, insults and pain.

Among that stays there may be one,

Whose company makes problems seem small,

That makes one happy; even facing the sun,
Making one grin; even after a fall.

Thus with all that how can it be,
All those hypocrites wandering free,
For it is self control they often lack,
If only karma would strike them back~

The calm winds blow from the direction of the sea... How I miss the sea... The salty breeze with the waves lapping onto the shore, with good company to make it fun. Maybe I should plan for one soon~

Turning back the clock

"When things happen and time has gone by,

You'd wonder which facts are true or a lie"

- Fai Fai No-Reason

Hey guyZ,
I have been looking back on my old posts and I just wondered what just happened along the way?
I mean, back when I started blogging, this blog presented an opportunity for me to blatantly keep an informal record of my daily happening, an online diary so to speak...
But then as I got older apparently, hearing all those cases where one's personal information can be compromised if it is casually mentioned online, made me cautious of mentioning details, but it didn't stop me from vaguely mentioning things that were the latest happenings of my life back then.
That just went on for some time.... I guess...
The paranoia started getting worst since I heard people can just stumble upon your blog and try to make sense out of the gibberish you type up here and stalk you or something.
That eventually flipped the switch for me not to blog as frequent as I would like to...

Maybe I should just start typing what I want, even if it DOES pertain to my daily life.
With my list of friends growing ever shorter, I am skeptical to even to burden them with my rantings as they are that special to me.
I still try to think that there are things such as good and best friends.
and yet there are things happening that makes the "acquaintance" list grow ever longer...
But then every time when I want to switch off that part of me that cares, a special friend comes along and reminds me in their own little way that there are those that care, even though they are not there all the time.

I used to wonder why people are so hung up on getting into a relationship, even after facing a terrible heartbreaking experience of breaking up recently.
Why get into another one when the last one caused that much agony, pain and hardship?
Apparently they told me that it is the companionship that mattered.
Just someone to simply listen ans share their problems with.

Someone they can look up to when they are down for consolation.
Another individual that actually cares for their well being, in their own special little way.
Sharing all those little snide remarks and secrets that sou don't share with anyone else because of that bond of trust you have.
Knowing that no matter what you say, that person will just listen and not blab a word.




And they told me that if such a person comes along, you'd know...

Thus I actually, believe it or not, made a silent vow to myself.
Should I actually find this special person, I'd treat her with respect.
I'd treat her the way I'd want someone to treat my daughter.
I'd trust in her the way she trusts in me.
I'd find the time to spend some with her, just to know I want her in life.
I'd open the door for her, even if it is corny and old school, just to make sure she gets in the care safely
I'd hold her close, especially on rainy days, just to keep her warm
In short, I'd try to be there for here, in whatever small way I can.

AND if it doesn't work out between us, It's ok...
I'd still remember the memories and the small little secrets that we have.
I'd always know that we had something special together, and that she'd always be sumone that made a mark in my life.
and most of all, if I still do care about her and she wants to leave, It's ok....
For Loving someone doesn't mean you have to be with them till the end of time,
but instead being happy for them and making them happy, even if they are being happy with another person.
That my fellow blog readers, is what I think is love....



Own and I still haven't mentioned that vow, my bad XD
It is....

"Should I get into a relationship and it ends, I want it to end on good terms. So that should we bump into each other in the future, I want us to be able to just sit down, talk and laugh about the times we had with each other, knowing that the person across the table used to be special, and is STILL special in a way and most importantly, is that she is happy, even if it is not with me"

Fai fai No-Reason's weather forecast:
The sky is sunny for now and I'm glad it is. Surrounded by the very few that remained with me throughout the storm. I hold them close and we walk on the the small gravel path, facing what may come along the way~

Getting by~

It has been raining quite frequently recently...
and I have to admit it is kinda comforting to hear nothing else but the pounding beat of the rain hitting the pavement, or the smell of wet plants in the air.
It drowns out everything else, making me only aware of my immediate surroundings, meaning one has to be so-close to actually get my attention.

Who matters?
Who doesn't?
What matters?
What doesn't?

I think that other than the daily chores and things that we are expected to do, these simple questions elude us, even though we are charged to find and search for such answer throughout our lives.
The best part is, it is simple enough, and yet the answer varies with the surrounding  or company one keeps.
One would usually quote that what is necessary is deemed important.

But...

That would dictate which is good or bad? right or wrong? necessary or not?
Who is worth your time and effort, or otherwise?
Open that gold-filled mouth of ours to ask and prod to see who is, in fact, deserving of your presence?

For remember this line always:

"Your happiness comes first. Should another makes you feel otherwise, then that person is not a friend/special one"

Part on good terms, pull up a fight, confront the problem, all these are just a few of the many ways people choose to solve this problem.
All because their HAPPINESS comes FIRST
Knowing and managing that simple fact is the most important aspect of enjoying life.
For NO ONE enjoys doing something or being with someone that doesn't make him/her happy.

One may argue that things can work out, true enough.
But once the seed of uncertainty has taken root, it is hard to throw it away.
One can only get used to it.
For each memory and emotion that riddles us throughout life is like a seed planted onto a 'garden' that reflects who we are.
With each variety of seed, the garden flourishes and becomes beautiful with the different kinds of flowers and tress~
and yet, even though a seed that doesn't belong gets planted, it still grow in the garden, marking its significant present in the 'garden' of our lives~
You see, the plants that grow in our 'garden' are untouchable and not marred by the other plants that happen to be planted now or in the future.
What happens is that we refuse to accept that such a plant has grown in the garden, and by insisting that the plant is of a different seed, is in fact DENIAL to yourself and your happiness.

So do yourself a favor today people.

Look at the mirror, smile and rethink who/what does make you happy.
It may be the small things~
It may be the memories~
It may be the simple company of that someone~
It may be just that time when a dear friend helps out in your darkest hour~

It is simple enough, and yet people don't do such simple things these days.
Remember...
YOUR happiness COUNTS... not others~

Fai fai No-Reason's Weather Forecast:
Despite this constant rain pelting me with the rain being ever so merciless, I still hope that those that stand by me stay there. I don't ask much, I give what I can, and yet their numbers dwindle ever so much.
There seem to be no end to this rain, and for that I can only wait, and hope it passes...
