Chilling in Ulu Yam Waterfall.

few months back, winnie suggested that we head to any waterfall to just chill...but somehow we didn't go, cos some were busy with studies,work and exams.only last sunday, most of us were free and manage to spend some time there. we decided to head to Ulu Yam waterfall cos according to eggtart there the water there is more cold. and coldness is what i needed in such a hot weather.

the journey to reach the waterfall took 30 mins from Kepong.
The 6 of us - Winnie,Eggtart,TuanChin,Jan,YewWey and Me.

winnie jie and me.

tuanchin & i

heading to the waterfall.

seriously, the water was DAMN DAMN DAMN COLD!

we were shivering like shit. but after a few moments for shouting, splashing water etc etc..we got used to the coldness.

the funny and sweet couple.winnie & eggtart.

hearts all my babies!

we were acting crazy as though we were still 15! LOL. such crazy stuff can only be done with this group of crazy girls!

eggtart's scared of us!

me.enjoying the pressure of the water... *syiok*

we were there for quite some time, until most of the ppl around us left, then only we decided to leave. after that we had steamboat for dinner, according to our winnie jie..after enjoying the cold waterfall, having a hot hot steamboat as dinner would be more satisfying.....

Rational / Irrational.

it was always said that what truly distinguished human beings from other beings is our ability to rationalised. we are able to rationalise what is right or wrong,what we ought or ought not do. yet sometimes i find it really ironic that, us humans always end up doing the irrational thing.

for example, if i had a long and tiring day on thurs; i shouldn't go clubbing at night.yet irrationality override rationality..i ended up going. and working on the very next day, and a long meeting at night. Rationality tells me i should crash into my bed once my meeting ended, yet i agreed to watch a late night movie with my sister. etc etc etc.... not only me, almost everyone i know will do something irrational. my friends, my families, my students, etc etc...

our lives are filled up with irrationalities. we do things although we know we ought not do it. we did things that are sometimes wrong and immoral consciously.

how are we to explain all this when we are suppose to be the only rational being in this world? are we then in actual fact irrational beings as well?

Shopping In Singapore

Last saturday, i went to Singapore with Wendy for 3 days. This time, we went there by air. This is my very, very first time flying to Singapore! I usually take the bus as it's cheaper, though it took much longer. Anyways, AirAsia is doing this huge promo, so it only cost us like RM144 2 ways, inclusive of SkyBus. So, it's a good deal, right?

For me, the main purpose of this trip is to shop. Back in KL, i don't really buy much stuff, honestly, i don't know why. Even a shorts for RM30 to me it's expensive. But somehow, in Singapore, i'm able to buy more, of course price is still a factor...But maybe because of its wider choice selection? or the better quality? I don't know; to me $30 for 2 shorts is cheap and worth buying. I know that once i convert back to Malaysian Ringgit, it'll actually cost about the same...BUT...so???I still enjoy shopping in Singapore! *laughs*

Especially in July, since it's their Great Singapore Sale now (29 May - 26 July)

This time, our time was slightly limited, as we only spend 3 days there. For a full and thorough shopping in Singapore, i'll need at least 4 days. But, the longer we stay...the more our accommodation will cost as well.*sigh*

Basically, we were able to cover
1) Far East Mall, Orchard Road
2) Bugis Street & Bugis Junction
3) Marina Square
4) Junction 8 in Bishan (i love their cotton on shop there)

I manage to buy:
*converse shoe
*2 flip flops
*2 shorts
*a pair of heels
*one dress
*one top

All i can say that it's a good bargain! Even after converting to Malaysian Ringgit, the satisfaction of purchasing it! (Although i can't beat Wendy's satisfaction of buying a pair of rubber shoes which she wore it once purchasing, and few hours later after purchasing another Crocs shoes and wore it immediately as well...)


Anyways, our journey back to KL is not that smooth. Well, there's nothing much i can really complain about, we paid a cheap amount of RM for our flight ticket, so it's usually bound to reciprocate with the service we get...

We checked in 2 hours before departure time, went through immigration almost immediately after checking in, since the gate opens usually 45 mins before departure, we just walk around the shops and had a quick dinner. 30 mins before our departure time, we walked slowly to our gate...then pass by the flight information..stating our Gate is CLOSING! WTH? I thought it just opened! We ran. YES. RAN..i think more than 300 metres? Ran. Ran. People were staring at us. We ran, stopped for a gulp of air. Run run run........ Finally, we reached our gate. Scan our bag, and the officer was like asking me to chill and cool. breath in and breath out....i wanted to ask, i thought the gate is closing?! but i'm too out of breath. not only from running, but fear of missing the bloody flight. Who knows, we still have to wait there for like another 20mins++ before boarding the plane. Damn shit, we ran like some crazy cows for NOTHING!

Well, as a whole, that's the worst part of our trip.

Ohya, my leg is extremely sore. Not from running in the airport (well, maybe that affects a little) but due to walking toooooo much in Singapore!

Opening Up the Old Anger.

Few months back, I received an invitation via Facebook to join this online group thing, where upon registration (for free), you'll get free access to legal discussion and law notes etc. Basically it's beneficial for students. I know this kind of forum is nothing new these days, what made me mad was the person who send this invitation to me.

When I was still in my 2nd year degree, there was this junior who wanted to borrow my 1st year's notes, on all subjects inclusive of all my assignments. Usually, I was never reluctant to lend out my notes, I mean...I don't mind it. Although later I did question myself, why I actually lend it to this junior? Plus he's a total stranger. Maybe it was the polite manner he approached me and asked me?

However, since I wouldn't need those notes anytime soon, I lend my whole stack of notes...which was done,written,researched by myself. Whether search through online, going through mulitple case laws, texts, articles...basically I'm proud to say that it's really complete.

Anyways, somehow my notes was..erm, literally passed to a 3rd party and ended up in a lecturer's hand.My college lecturer,by the way. And....this lecturer, breached my copyright of my notes. How I knew it, is another story...But not from the lender of my notes nor that lecturer. When I found out about it, I was damn pissed. I confronted that junior, who later inform that lecturer.

That lecturer subsequently called me and apologised, explaining the reason he needs those notes is for a particular online discussion thingie. I don't care if he's a lecturer, I know I sounded harsh and maybe a bit rude when we were on the phone...BUT, what can I do? I was way too PISSED!

Yea,maybe I can sue the lecturer, I can demand for some form of compensation. I can request him to remove my portion of notes from the page. BUT, who am I to do that? I was just a 2nd year student, I was not exposed to IP Law yet.

And this lecturer was the one who sent the invitation in FB to me.

Although after that incident I didn't want to think about it nor mind so much about it anymore. But to actually see that web page with my own eyes just pissed the hell out of me.

Call me stingy for not sharing my knowledge or whatever. But my perception is that knowledge is to be shared, if it was asked and given in an appropriate manner.

Dine in FRAMES Reminisce at TTDi Plaza.

the first time i heard about Frames was when me and jan were searching for places to dine for our friend's birthday celebration. jan manage to find this place via my.bestfoodjunction.com. so we decided to head to that place.

the decorations and Frames' style is indeed unique. the shelves are designed with lots of frames, containing pictures from all around the world. the lighting of the restaurant is just nice, not too bright nor too dark,hence photos taken there usually result in great effect. the restaurant is chilly, and not warm at all.some restaurants i know of, usually keep the temperature slightly higher, just to avoid customers from hanging around after finishing their meal...

comfortable purple chairs with cushions.

Their main cuisine is Western, but there are some limited Asian cuisine there as well. Their food are pretty good, price ranging from RM20-45++ inclusive of drinks. If you want to check out more on their menu - http://practigance.blogspot.com

i'm sick!

this is soooo totally crappy! i'm actually SICK! i can't believe this..just few days before my very very first vacation after my exams! since friday, my throat felts itchy and a little sore, i felt that it was normal since i teach every friday for 2 1/2 hours non-stop, usually every friday my throat will be a bit sore.

then on saturday morning, i felt a flu coming down.

sunday morning, was getting ready for another 2 hours of tuition class...i'm officially sick. i had flu, a bit of cough and sore throat.

and it's now monday. i drink lots of water, get lots of vitamin Cs, sucking on my dequadin, sleep a lot (yep, slept too much in the afternoon, so here i am..still awake!) and pray hard so that i'll recover by friday. good news? my throat & cough is getting better..flu..well, everyone knows there is no cure for it right?i just have to wait till tues/weds to see how it goes....

okay, i'm pretty sure it's NOT that H1N1 virus thingy because those virus are usually infected because of some bacteria/virus infection thingy, right? my sis checked me and my sore throat wasn't caused by any bacteria/virus infection. PLUS, my temperature is normal - 36.5°C.

but then since i'm not feeling well, my immune system will be slightly weaker, so i'm not suppose to go out, as i'm now more prone to infections... SIGH. it's SUPER BORING staying at home. winnie is back from langkawi, and i didn't see her for ages! and benny is back from france after almost 6 months, yet we can't meet up too... SIGH. boring-boring-boring....

well, it's best for me to stay home, if not i'll ruin my vacation and waste my $$ (since i paid for the air ticket already..)

A Shit-ty Day.

sigh. something extremely shiiiiitty happened today. ok, i'll start from the very begining.

friends that know me well, knew that i've a little phobia of driving. despite having my license for 3 ++ years, i barely drive. i myself don't really know why i'm so freak out about driving, was it that i'm afraid that i'll bang someone? or that i'll meet with an accident? or that my estimation is so bloody inaccurate?

anyways, for the past few weeks, i finally had the slight courage to drive. as in out of my housing area. and so far so good. nothing bad happened. UNTIL TODAY.

me and winnie were suppose to check out our new tuition place in Kota Damansara, and my friend told me that the easiest and fastest route there is via Sg Buloh. and, being not very familiar with Sg Buloh road, i drove carefully.and not going too fast. though we missed a few exits, but we finally manage to find that place in Kota Damansara.i parked my car there, talked to my friend then decided to head back to Kepong.

whilst i was reversing out from my parking space, got a car that was emerging, and i since my car was pretty near his, i was mainly focusing on my right side, since the opposite car was there. i already reverse completely out from my parking space, finally there was enough space, i wanted to go to the left, so that i'm back to my lane. ok, it was my fault for only focusing at my right and neglected looking whether there was car coming behind or not.

then just when i was about to let go my clutch and press my gas pedal to go straight up. **BAM"" wtf?!

stupid fat malay auntie driving stupid green van bang me. at the passenger seat there. WTH!!!!
ok, then we got down from the car, examine the damage, looking at that auntie. and since hers a van, so obviously NO FREAKING damage on her stupid van.

i tried to calm myself down, and started talking to that auntie. our conversation was somewhat:\

me: didn't you see my car ?
fat auntie: so you sekarang mau macam mana? settle ke pergi balai polis.
me: well, you bang my car, my car's damage. of course i hope that you'll compensate me. and i would want to avoid going to the balai polis as it's too much of a hassle.
fat auntie: so sekarang i salah lah ?
me: well, you're from behind.
fat auntie: wait, i call my lawyer.

me and winnie were like stoned for a while. WTH? call your lawyer? obviously your sole intention is just to threatened us. God knows why there's a need to do so. it's not like me and winnie look like some kind of mafia lady. the main reason that made me so pissed off was because of her that stupid statement that she wanted to call her lawyer.

me: ok, you call your lawyer . i'll wait. (i was just so damn pissed off and i just blurt another statement without thinking much)
i myself is a law student, ok? and the general rule is that if your car, emerging from behind, banged my car, which is like in front of you, you should be at fault (i know i sounded extremely stuck up, yea, so what if im a law student? so is 5,000 other law students, but i'm just too pissed)

at that time, i called my friend which was just around that area to come over to help me. thank goodness he's like "someone" in that area. apparently it's his constituency or that his friend (which was with him) is that area's local council. bottom line, that is their area (politically and legally)

it's not that i want to "cari masalah" or what, the reason i called my friend was not because that's his "area", but i needed someone to help as me and winnie has no experience at all. i was pissed with that auntie as she attempted to threatened me.

after 10 mins, my friend and his friend came and they started talking to that fat auntie and examine my car's damage. it seems like the auntie recognised them....

after that that fat auntie's lawyer came.

me: so you're her lawyer?
so-called lawyer: no i'm not a lawyer.i'm a kerani in the legal department. i deal with this kind of matter, obviously in this kind of situation you're at fault and you can file this problem but you're at the wrong side.

so me, winnie and the other two men were discussing what's the best option. honestly, i know i panic.initially i wanted some compensation so that i can answer my dad. but i know that the damage is not really serious. it's just a slight "kemek" at my passenger seat and the car door still can be open and close. i don't want to bring the matter to the police station, like i said..it's way too troublesome. and i myself know that i'm at fault as i didn't check my side mirror. what pissed me off is that fat auntie's attitude.

finally, i told them, fine.let's bygone be bygone. we'll just let this matter slide. and that kerani was still attempting to explain the matter that it wouldn't be beneficial for me to bring any proceedings (in my heart, you sudddup ok? you don't even have a legal background, don't you use legal terms with me? go back to your filing! ) then i shook hand with both of thems, and that stupid auntie, i think she was a bit scared, she was sitting in her van the whole time, actually want to hug me and give me a peck at my cheek (ok, not "a" but THREE TIMES!)

on our way back, me and winnie continued bitching about that two aunties.as if your lawyer will come and settle such minor issues for you? you think your lawyer are so free? please, there are much more important matters for lawyers to settle, OK? don't you dare bully me just because you have a lawyer. SO WHAT?!
