HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I'm trying to type softer because I'm now blogging in Alicia's house and she and Elena are still sleeping like lazy pigs behind me. We had lunch and dinner while Alicia's parents are away partying. First we had Toufu stuffs for the afternoon and then pasta and Chicken at night. While eating, Davamar called Elena and was talking on the h/p for 30 over minutes and we were eyeing her untouched chicken until when she finally paused and said, "I'm full already" damn she should've said that earlier. Now I'm sitting here, really hungry because once Yvonne wakes up, she gets instant food from mummy and now mummy's not here!!!! Ok, back to last night, Actually, I didn't prepare the pasta sauce. Because in the afternoon, Alicia was online with Kenrick and Elena was busy with Alicia's girl magazine so I switched on her portable cd player and listened to Les Miserables. I still like the song, "I dream a Dream" and "On My Own". So since she switched on the air-cond, I fell asleep too. then, I've transfered the CD into media player already. After dinner, Elena bought us beer (not root beer u noe) and Alicia was actually all red. Frankly, this is my first time drinking such high caffeine drinks. And the heat sure did shoot up and I was kind of afraid it might hurt my tumor. Because when an relative came and visit me and fed me some really good chinese herb, I fell into high fever the very night. Even eating KFC triggers...later when Aunty Mei Ling, her kids and husband came over, this Aaron actually "bocor rahsia" about it. But nevermind, cuz later at night, we three shared a glass of red wine and it taste yum!! And when the clock struck 12, we all had a cup of champage and I got a little sip of white wine. If you can't sleep at night, take a sip and you'll be sleeping like a lazy pig. But when a guy drinks coffee at night out of a sudden. you better run quick!! ok, just kidding. Some people dislike sharing PCs and now you know why. Because before connecting online, I switched on Alicia's ICQ and had a glimpse of her history. AND WHAT THE HECK I read her conversation with Tremayne. Hey, I'm not desperate okay!! It's just that Alicia that made me sound like one!! I'm innocent shit! Truth be told, I'm seing three guys all at one go, okay! damn...

TheSpark.com's Famous Personality Test Like just 11% of the population you are a DREAMER (SIAF)--reserved and imaginative. You are basically the shy, silent type. You don't have much interest in facts and figures or most of what's going on around you, but the internal worlds you build for yourself are rich and complex. Luckily, your creativity and strong heart mean you have a deep personality evident to anyone who gets to know you. It's just that not many people do, because most everyone thinks you're a loser. Talk to yourself less, other people more, little shaver Ah this is absolutely true. I'd choose peace rather than party. I believe if we continuously visualize our dreams and pray hard, it'll come true one day. And I don't talk much in real. Ask around, I only talk to a handfull of classmates and the rest are only when they approach me first. I don't get it why people say I've plentiful friends. Fenix's got a very cute layout. Go visit!! Kenneth, the TTT rant is 2 post below this. Go check it out.

I'm home! What a very very tiring day I had! Ee Von and I went to Pyamid wanting to watch 007. But the 12pm tickets were sold out and the other show was at 4pm. So we watched Sweet Home Alabama instead. The Show ain't bad. It's more like a romance story. About Melanie getting engaged with the mayor's son, the future president. What's his name? Unknown to her fiance, she went to her hometown, after 7 long years, to insist a divorce agreement that her husband, Jake, did not sign. The story went on about how Melanie got the signature from Jake after much hazzards but also at the same time, realised that she still loves Jake. At Melanie's wedding with the son of Mayor, her lawyer incharge of her divorcement, rushed to the scene in time to let her know that she have not signed the agreement herself. In the end, she turned her fiance down and returned to her husband's arm. After the show, I met Amy and Swee Hong who were watching the same show and the same cineplex as we did. So we had Dave's Deli for lunch together before going into our own seperate ways. Ee Von and I shopped till we drop and went home around 6pm, just in time for tv show. haha!!

Baby Names - Doey The name of Doey has created a congenial nature with the desire to associate in friendship and understanding both socially and in the business world. Peaceful and settled conditions appeal to you and you are naturally desirous of having the security of a home, where your life could follow a definite pattern, and where you would not have to make major decisions. You find it difficult to take a definite stand, partly because you lack confidence, and also because you dislike any issues which create dissension between people. Procrastination is a weakness of your nature, causing an inability always to complete your plans or to concentrate for long. You need to see a concept presented completely in detail before you can understand it, and if you cannot understand it, you come to your own conclusion and often fail to listen to and reason out another's point of view. You resist being forced into change and could become almost impervious to new ideas. You desire refinement, understanding, and appreciation, yet sometimes your outward attitude does not reveal your innermost feelings, and thus you have never felt truly understood. Your name has given you a desire for heavy, rich foods, which cause sluggish digestion. You could suffer with constipation, stomach, or intestinal disorders, or disturbances in the fluid functions of the body. Your name of Yvonne creates an intense desire for association with people and new experiences, many of which have been rather bitter. This name has given you a gregarious personality and a quick-thinking, creative, and versatile nature, but one that is unstable emotionally. You desire change and travel and would enjoy opportunities that allowed you to be creative and to act independently, rather than to conform to system and routine. However, this name does not allow you to complete your undertakings, as farther fields always look greener. Although you may appear confident and positive, you actually lack confidence and feel self-conscious at times. This name spoils patience and depth of thought, and weakens your stand in matters of principle. You are too open to suggestion, and thus you could become involved in detrimental associations which could lead you into by-paths of thrill-seeking or emotional indulgence. Any weakness in your health would appear in the fluid functions as kidney, bladder, or circulatory problems. or in a sensitivity affecting your stomach. mmm...quite true. I like routines, slow routines to be specific. I prefer to enjoy life than to speed up at everything. in fact, The name Doey describes me better than Yvonne. ok. We'll pause awhile from that. Last night's party was fun!! Alicia bought me this palm-size doggie while Rachel's mom got this medium-sized doggie. Wow I sure got a whole lot of soft toys this year. But do I really look that kiddo that everyone thinks I like toys? mmm...the dinner was great. Turkey's yummy- and lots of other Swedish dishes. We were like the eldest there besides Carmen, Aaron and Rachel. Oh, and their shih tzu, Angel. Rachel and Aaron sure grew a lot since I last saw them on new year. And as for just now, I watched LOTR! heh heh. It was god. The effects were better than the first. Gandalf came back to live!! OMG! I think Sean Austin grew a little fatter. I wonder if the Hobbits are really that small. Gollum's very cute too though he seemed nasy at first. And the...what's that tree called? er...ENT!! he's very funny! Especially when he told Merry their decisions that the hobbits weren't Orks. haha!! ah not to forget Gimli the small guy. And we saw a lot of people too! who watched in the same cineplex. There was Shi WeiAaron Goh and who was with him? ah nevermind. Then there was Anas and his brother Umair, and Guan Lim and the gang. And...Lee Lee who went to watched Internal Affairs. goodness me! so many poeple!! I can remember no more..too many!!!

MERRY X'MAS It's another year gone by and I wish the following year would be a much better one. I've just visited the Hallmark website and sent my friends some e-cards. I can't really get around to buy anything so I hope no one's upset. I do have some really lovely cards at home but they're in Chinese. Haha...if Trey didn't notice, that graduation card I gave you was actually a Christmas card. kekeke... On Monday, Alicia came over to my place instead of the movies. We ate our lunch at McDs. We called Trey to ask if he would like to join us but he was busy and only God knows why! *wink*, THANK GOODNESS he did not come because I forgot Alicia bought a bridal magazine and she was anxious to show it me. So if Trey came, he'd probably have a heart suspense and start sweating all over. After lunch, we went home and I helped her create some handmake cards. Oh my the envelopes were definitely better than the one I made for David's b'day card last year. That was SO CRAPPY. Yesterday was Christmas Eve. It was such a boring one. I did not go anywhere because I can't. And sitting in my room listening to the radio sux! These bunch of people called up the radiostation and made dedications on air to their partners HEY STUPID RADIO DON'T YOU EVER CARE FOR MY FEELINGS, NE? *sob* I'm so lonely, christmas eve alone... warghhhhh!! As for now, daddy's gone out to HIS party and I'm stuck here. Elena had just called coz she came back from Genting carolling. I heard they had fun!! And her miserable story cuz Joachim conquered the whole wardrobe. haha!! Tonight would be a little different. Alicia invited me for dinner. It's ALICIA!! *sob* but anyway, that's better than nothing at all. oh yes, I almost forgot to book movie tickets for tomorrow. Better do that now...

All that I want to do now is to mince my mom up and pretend she's beef. We saw my surgeon today and decided to have my brain op done in February, after Chinese New Year. When he said, "what about after New Year?" and my mom tried to confirm, "Chinese New Year?" but he probably thought that was a request! Ahhh!! I don't mind you know, just after New Year. The tinnitus in me is terrible! it has gone worse! And nowadays, my tumors hurt me whenever there is an increase of heart rate like speaking aloud, rush or even doing things too quick! gosh.... and I've to return to school. SCHOOOLLLLLLL! ah!! Wouldn't it be better to be solved in january? Cuz I will need time to recover so the earlier, the better! I don't wanna interrupt my SPM. Anyway, while waiting for our turn, there was this other follow-up case. It was a little baby! from Malacca. Currently at 3 months old and was operated at 15 days. My Gosh...that poor thing. May my prayers be with him. After seing doc, we went to the ward and saw a fellow patient from Sabah whom we knew earlier. She have came back for radiotherapy. Then, we met another girl who's a year elder than me but doesn't look any much older than 15. She's quite weak and can't walk. I remember she was hospitalized about a few days before my spinal surgery. According to her mom today, she was operated last month, I think, through the back of her brain but they could not reach the tumor as there's a lot of blockage. So they've no choice but to conduct radiation. Although she's elder, but she's in form 4 like me. That's cuz she needed to stay back to learn the Braile. I still remember those days when she could sit up and read a book. But she used a magnifying glass to do so. What an adorable little girl...*sigh*

Blog time! Can't really remember what I did this morning but we were off to Hong Leong Finance in PJ and found it shifted. So we went over to have some good food, yum! and then drove to the branch at Taipan, USJ, but this was also shifted further down and the one there was closed after banking hours! What a drive, man. Today's the LoTR premier I wonder how's the show. I've gotta sleep early today. I'm seing Mr. Jo again tomorrow and will tell him about my worsened tinnitus!! ...

Had a sleepover at Alicia's house last night and it was a lot of fun. First Alicia and I went and had dinner at Secret Recipe. We tried the Speghetti and I think it's not worth the price. But it tastes ok lar. Then we went about MPH and Times. Lastly, we had drinks at Starbucks coffee. Alicia treat me Raspberry blend and it was too cold. The instance I drank it, my tumor began to hurt again. So I rested for awhile until the pain was gone before I continue drinking. Then, at her house, Elena joined us and we played with our Oracle Cards and talked until 5pm. This morning, we woke up at 11:30am. Actually, i woke up at 8am for the loo, then 9am for my regular waking up. But since the other two was still asleep, i went back to sleep too. And when we woke up, it was already time to get ready for lunch. Elena and I left at 5pm but I forgotten to bring home the Les Miserables CD that Alicia agreed to lend me. *sigh*

Elena and Alicia came yesterday. They informed me 30 minutes in advance ONLY. And at that time, they were already eating at McDs and they didn't even invite me!!! But anyway, I've already eaten then. And they bought me bubble tea like they always do whenever they come over. Elena brought the Oracle cards. Instead being hers, it's now 'ours'. We take turns to own them. It's now with me and I'm already out of questions. Been asking a lot. Lisa should be dropping by but I wonder when. Hope she calls me first. She won't want to see me all sleepy and sloppy. heehee...

My confidence was taken away long ago and when a friend stops speaking to me, I'll go beserk about it. Haven't been speaking to a friend for about 2 months and he goes offline at times when I send a message. And when I finally manage to speak to him last night, he told me that i was being ridiculous to think that he's mad at me. aiyah!! He also helped me solve a mystery that I never have thought the way he did before this. Oh gawd mummy's baking the chinese bun today and I figure we'll have to eat it for lunch, dinner, supper and even bring it forward to the next day. heck...

What a day. First, Alicia, Elena, and Kenrick came over today. I especially miss Alicia after not seing her for 2 weeks. She bought me this kangaroo and a lip balm. How sweet of her. I usually buy and given Koala Bears. But this is something different. She bought Kenrick this t-shirt and lied to her parents that it's for ME!!! *knocks Alicia* And said that I prefer baggy shirts. Blah! She also bought Elena Oracle cards since Elena's quite into spiritual stuffs. She actually wanted Tarot Cards but Anthony introduced Oracles to Alicia instead. He said it's so beginners. We did nothing much actually. Just talked and talked around. About her trip and what are our next plans. heh heh... Then when dinner time came, we ate dinner at Allegros since it's a last minute decision and it's very near my house. But Elena didn't eat much cause she's got dinner at home. Alicia and I both shared a mushroom soup, Elena had clam soup, and a dish of mushroom vinegar, for appetizer. Then we had pastas for our main dish. Yummy, lastly we had Caramel and Teramitsu for dessert. And guess what, Elaine Low was our waiter. hee! hee!

I'd like to express my deepest appreciation to Mika, my new hostess for hosting this weblog. She's a very sweet lady. Ice Pixie interests me to the upper most. Foremostly, I was once nicknamed Ice Doey in the skating rink. The word "ice" was everyone's clan. I'm a chinese asian girl who's plum and short so don't I fit the describtion of a pixie? A very fat one indeed. It's been quite some time since I last saw Jiey and Cheryl. They always fit my describtion of a 'happy duo'. It was pretty nifty to figure what they're saying to each other at first but I quickly adapted to them and understood better. We had an ice-cream snack at McDs and watched these babies having a birthday party and a big purple mascot shaking its butt around. Bryan have been sending me lots of e-mail forwardings. I once was requested people not to send me as it's a waste of time and space. But now that it's back again, I'd figure I'm amuzed by the contents that it contains. It's either tickles my funnybone or triggers my sense of doubt. But I guess it's about time to stop forwarding them. But I'll still read them though. Just to have a good laugh and a thought to think about.

I'm feeling secured again. It's like I've just united with a long lost relative. And that must be Keisha. Finally, I found someone who really understands. I hope to find more NF patients in Malaysia. So far, I've only found 1. I hope to meet her soon.

There, I received about three messages and it was Yen Yen. Since my inbox mostly consists of Yewins, my eye played tricks and mistaken Yewin as Yen. Opened the wrong message and trashed the wrong one too. Awh that lovely bear bear!! It's the first he sent me in the hospital. Awhhh...sad sad...called in at home and had to apologize for mistaking. Ah but he didn't seem to mind. Very nicee chap. Even said that he'll get more cute ones from his friends. Hehe! Oh but Yewin, afturds no place to store leh... Ah but the main thing is, LI ANN!!!!!!!!!!!! and then Alicia returning on Monday!!!!!!!! yay!!!!!!!! And, I'm actually speaking to Keisha. The other Malaysian who has NF? The one who met Westlife? Yah! That's her! It's a small world after alllllll...

What does VDO exactly mean,kenny? Anyway, I didn't quite had the intention to write but reading blogs gives me the urge again. I got this flyer from FitnessFirst. Some fitness centre with gym, VCD library, body & massage treatments, personal training, cycling, body balance, body combat, step classes, Pilates, Yoga, Aerobics, Sauna & steam, Audio Visual Cardio yada...yada...yada... I called up and their package starts from RM140/month onwards. It's quite a great deal. Located somewhere near my house and mummy says it's good. Then now she says that we'll see when's my therapy and so it won't get in the way and yada...yada... Oh how I feel like stucking this pile of rubbish into her mouth and shut her up. She said the same thing to my tuitions and now the same thing to my fitness. WTH!! I sit at home everyday reading books and surfing the net. I'm getting a fat bum and my brain ain't working any faster. I hate it!! The worse of all, I can't go outdoors. I can but who would go with me and where can I go? damn it!! If she don't give a damn about it, then I'll pay for it myself and work it out!!!!!!!!! Anyway, I realised that Macbeth ain't a good guy after all. Was reading half way and starch that somewhere. Now reading The Power of your subconcious mind Wooo! By Dr. Murphy or something like that. It's not bad I think I prefer books like these. Not those story books that are only for pleasure means. Macbeth, I don't quite like it but is forced to read. have to master it to score in Literature, SPM. darn....I prefer poems, poems and more poems. Shall I compare thee to a summer day?, Thou art more lovely and more temperate, Ah no, that's for my Literature component, not Literature. Ugh....the way Alicia rhymes that is now repeatingly running in my mind. freaking...
