Foot in mouth situations

Filed under: My thoughts, Random — Valentina April 22, 2007 @ 3:53 pm

I think everyone who owns a blog should stop saying stupid things in their blogs. Anyone who is capable to register a blog online should understand the fact that the blog is open for public to view if a password system is not installed. Dont write thoughtless entries.

Save yourselves from embarrassment please.

Am not going to put in examples. Dont want to quote of any blogs. I think you’ve had your fair share of “omg-wth-are-you-writing-are-you-stupid” moments. I dont know. I just cannot stand.

Btw, stupid and hilariously stupid is different, okay?

Readers, have a heart too. If you’re about to post some negative comments, have a second thought, kay? It can make someone’s day a better one. Tqtq.

Ta.

*dont flame me. I dont mean your blog, kay? iTakut :( *

Haehaehaehaehaehae…

First anniversary

Filed under: Fun, Occasions, Pictures — Valentina April 15, 2007 @ 4:01 pm

Yesterday was our first anniversary. It felt like I just knew him last month.

It was a very happy day. Actually we did nothing extraordinarily special. Just like any other normal dates. Just that The Guy was REAAAALLLLYYY patient that day and we had better meals.

We had really, really good Thai food at night. It was so good I didnt want to go home. Thank you, my baby. *mwahs*

I did not take any pictures, only videos, which I obviously will/can not post in my blog. Wait till I get the pictures from The Guy, kay!

Heres a picture to quench your thirst now. Muahahahahaha. I am vain. I know.

Ta.

Brief update.

Filed under: Random, Trips — Valentina April 10, 2007 @ 4:09 pm

So I boarded the plane without sleeping. I did not sleep in the plane neither. I did not sleep after we checked into the hotel. I did not sleep after we visit Standard Chatered(our sole purpose of visiting s’pore). I did not sleep until 11pm. Heh. Sometimes I surprise myself even.

Anyway, it was a fun trip nonetheless! Shopped like mad. Ate like mad. I first eaten at Sakae sushi(they now have a branch at The Curve) close to a decade ago and my mum and I fell in love with it. Its the best! The last year(I think it was last year) I spotted a branch at The Curve and I was so excited about it!

So I happily when to have dinner there and it disappointed me. It disappointed me so greatly that I vowed to never go there anymore(and I didnt!). So my dear friends, dont go there. Really. Save some money and go to the one in S’pore! The one I normally go is located on the first floor of Wheelock place which is at the intersection of Orchard road and Scotts road. I miss it already :(

The only disappointment was MNG ran out of stock of a white tote bag I wanted badly. The last piece wasnt white anymore! So, no. I couldnt accept it. I am going to run to the nearest MNG here tomorrow to hunt for that bag. Lets hope they have it here in M’sia.

I am going to rest now.

Ta.

Btw, first anniversary this Saturday! *mwahs my baby*

I want to rant and Rant and RANT!

Filed under: Academic, Rants — Valentina April 8, 2007 @ 8:42 pm

*this is a long-winded entry full of rants and rage. go away if you’re not busybody*

Fuh. Hot. Internally and Externally.

Nicko saw my pictures and asked me to get myself a flickr account ant I told him I’ve tried to register before and I found it difficult to navigate(I must be drunk that time because I just login to my account and it was rather easy and no, I dont drink).

However, I was convinced to try it again because having a widget of flickr at my saide bar would look cool! So I happily sort out my side, removing useless things such as “about me”, to make space for my flickr widget!

After uploading my pictures, I tried to find some codes which allow me to insert the widget. FAILED.

I have no idea how to put it in. Disappointment!

Then, this afternoon, I went to KLCC for my Tourism Management assignment. Each group is too choose an attraction and present on it and we chose KLCC. Were supposed to meet at 2pm, meeting at CoffeeBean. Waking up at 1pm, I knew I cannot be at KLCC at 2pm. Thats crazy. So I sms-ed my groupmate telling her I’ll be 15 minutes late(sugar-coated).

I of course was more than 15 mins late. I was 18 mins late! Upon reaching CoffeeBean, I called the same groupmate I sms-ed and asker her whereabouts.

Me : Hello! Where are you arh?
GM : Me arh, just about to board the lrt loh.
Me : Er… I thought we’re supposed to meet at 2pm?
GM : Yealah. But they(another 2 GMs) are late. So like that loh.
Me : Err…. Okay…

It was 3pm when I finally spotted them walking towards me. Fuh.

Went to PetroSains. Too crowded to have fun. Spent more than two hours in there snapping pictures and rubbing shoulders with kids. It would be a fun trip during weekdays. I am going to go there again! I dont care! *winks at baby*

I was damn hungry and my feet were hurting a lot(I walked around in the jungle for 2hrs plus yesterday!) and I was really tempted to go home. But no. We had to go to the Aquaria too. And there we went. It is a super boring place. The fact that I have been there before made it even more boring.

It was drizzling when we came out from the Aquaria and we had to shoot the park too. So we went under the rain. And the stupid fountain was closed for maintenance. Was supposed to shoot a video of it :(

Then we had dinner(finally) at the food court. It was about 8 something by the time we finished out meals. Proceeded to take pictures of the interior of KLCC. Somehow, I dont see eye-to-eye with them. I wanted to include the facilities(such as toilets) KLCC provides in our presentation because as a tourist, the condition of the facilities provided is important! But they saying dont need. *sigh*

Oh yea. I pulled a nerve in my neck this afternoon when I was stretching. For the whole day, I couldnt turn to my left. *double sigh*

I should be sleeping. I need the sleep. I am boarding a flight at 8am and I wont be able to sleep till tonite. Why am I still here? I blame my groupmates for being late, which resulted me to purchase an iced mocha latter while waiting for them at CoffeeBean.

OMG. RAGE.

FRIM macro photo shoot

Filed under: Occasions, Pictures — Valentina April 7, 2007 @ 12:58 pm

Am supposed to be having fun at the F1 party at KL tower but The Guy got sent outstation last minute. So I am here blogging. Bleh!

Anyway, I went for a macro photo shoot today at FRIM organized by ShutterAsia. It was very tiring carrying my back pack, tripod and my camera bag then balancing them on my shoulders when I take pictures. Not to mention those huge mozzies were literally following us around the jungle.

We were in the jungle for about 2-3 hrs and those professionals shot a lot of bugs. I, the noob, shot only a few decent shots(by decent, I mean pictures I like. Quality so-so only). After viewing their pictures, I hesitated for a while if I should post the pictures I took. And I decided that I should! I got bitten by mozzies like mad of course have to show a bit of the work lah. Okay. Here goes.

Composition a bit out.

A colourful jungle! wheee!

I have no idea what this is called.

The original composition is not so good. :(

A simple small-leave-on-big-leave picture.

Path in sepia

So high up.

Escaping.

This picture was a bad one but I like the ants-on-flower feel!
So I tried to save it.

My preferred pictures :

A moth(?)-shell.

Strangled leave.

Orange lady bug.

Some shell.

Alien bug.

Mushies!

Alga-lookalike.

My favs! :

Stretching its legs.

Chilling on my web.

All pictures are sharpen thanks to my shakey hands. I need a small tripod, or a Canon High-Power Flash HF-DC1. Someone kind enough to buy me one? The built in flash is utterly useless when I need it to take some macro shots. Anyone kind out there?!Okay lah. Enjoy lah. I am damn tired today. Going to rest.Ta!

Piercing words

Filed under: My thoughts — Valentina April 6, 2007 @ 3:30 pm

I am amazed that some people can actually talk without thinking because I certainly cant. I filter my words at least twice before I let them out of my mouth. So if you find what I say to you is insulting/rude/sarcastic, 90% of time time was intentional.

Some people just have no idea just how certain words can pierce through their heart. I bet most of you have heard of a phrase which goes like this “whats been said cannot be taken back”, and it is true. Have a heart and think of how you would feel if the exact same words were said to you from others.

And when I hear others speak without thinking, it is difficult for me to consult them because I filter my words, remember? I try my best to not hurt people’s feeling. So I can only do it in my blog, without directing it at anyone.

So, people. Please think before you speak!

Ta.

p/s : No. This is not being pretentious unless you perceived what I said in a wrong way, which reminds me to say that all of the above is my opinion only.

A Second Glance

Filed under: My thoughts — Valentina April 5, 2007 @ 12:56 pm

Was tapping my fingers impatiently on the steering wheel while hoping the car in front would move. The fact that the glaring sun was shining down on us mercilessly as though it wanted to melt us all did not help the situation. I resolved to shouting with the blasting music playing on my stereo.

Just as I stopped to rest my throat, the car in front moved. Then you drove by. You glanced at me, then back to the car in front of yours, then back to me. A second glance. You made a second glance at me. Although a brief one but it made my day because I knew that I was still worth a second glance by strangers. I conveniently ignored the possibilities of other reasons you took a second glance.

I know I am still worth a second glance.

I just need to get rid of the fat which was hidden by my car door and I’ll be free again. Free again…

I am really busy. Like…busy?

Filed under: Academic — Valentina @ 4:05 am

Woah. I have been so busy and stressed. You have no idea!

Had a Tourism Management exam which I struggled between sneezing, blowing my nose and writing. How to manage?! 1hr paper which I was expected to write 6 pages of facts(4 questions). Ended up I only had one sentence for the conclusion of the last question. So if I didnt have to sneeze and blow my nose, I would have more than enough time. Blah.

Then there is this Organisational Behaviour report I had to hand in. Only sources that we could use was journals and books so I buried myself with textbooks in the library for a few days. Then another two nights googling Google Scholar for suitable journals. Almost pulled all my hair off.

But its all done. Now I have a case study of Human Resource in my hand, waiting to be read, underlined and discussed. Can I have 36 hours a day please?

Upcoming is another Organisational Behaviour report(which is much tougher than the one before), a Business Communication Report, Business Communication presentation and a Tourism Management presentation(this one is fun though)!

Yea. Busy busy busy. But better than bumming around. Being productive is good :D

I will have more time to blog starting from…. tonite! Weeee!

Will be having a one-week off next week, which I have to sacrifice a day of my holiday to go down to Singapore with my mum. NoOo00O0o0oo0Oo0oOoOoO0o…. I need my rest *sobs*

Oh. Did I mention that I was so stressed and get only 8 hrs sleep for 2 days and now zits have covered my face? Meh. it will recover. Recovering, anyway! So no camwhoring for a while.

I am so sleepy now but I have to get ready to go to class. No, not sleepy because I did not have enough sleep. Sleepy because I slept too much. I had a 13hrs sleep! What bliss! Wish I can have more of that.

Ta!!
