Television :)

Speaking about television... I still remember the days where my dad used to adjust the aerial on the roof to get back the signal.. Compared to the television I had before and now... There were lots of changes.. The technology have been improving day by day... I used to have a 21 inch Sony television.. It was a small television but indeed had many sweet memories.. Even though, the television didn't have as many features, as the television that I am currently having.. But it still had many unforgettable moments.. I used to get back from school and watch Mickey Mouse while my mum feeds me rice.. There was a day that my family and I were watching an interesting movie, and suddenly it just went blackout,.. It was definitely because of the heavy rain.. All of us were so frustrated and ended up eating Maggi Mee.. Thinking about the pass, brings a lot of memories that I can never forget.. Especially the difficulties in watching a complete movie in television,,

UNFORTUNATELY, IT WASN'T MEANT TO BE..

14 March 1999, 8.00 p.m.

It was a great day in office. I was so happy that our group project in building the company's identity has been approved by Mr.Harold, the Head of Department. It was indeed a hard task but we have achieved  it. Its not only that, I was actually eyeing this girl lately. Her name was Mary. She is working in my office but in a different department. She is so pretty. I just want to know her more in depth. I know that getting to know a girl, especially a beautiful girl is going to be hard but it's okay... I can give it a try... Never know what happens.. Anyway, she is just one of the girl I got attracted too..Okay than diary, I have to get going.. i have dinner to attend with Thomas.



16 March 1999, 9.42 p.m.


I just realize that, Mary is just not a girl.. I don't know why, but each day I go to work, my eyes will keep looking around to spot where Mary is.. It is just so weird.. I never had this feeling before and I can't control this feeling in me.. Don't tell me.. I have really fell in love with her?!  I go to work and the first thing I do is walk pass her...  just to see her and at that time she will look at me with a smile.. a smile which makes me want to keep starring in her eyes.. :)

17 March 1999, 9.15 p.m

Dear diary, I am so sorry because all the things that i am writing in you...its definitely going to be about MARY... Oh my God...  I am becoming really obsessive with her... I cant control my feelings anymore.. I feel like confronting to her all my feelings.. It's keep popping in my mind like a pop up message... I feel like I am being too dramatic.. okay, the only think I am going to do now is write her a letter..


18 March 1999, 10.04 p.m.

I kept the letter on her desk..and ran out as fast as lightning.. After a while, she went into her room.. At first, she didn't realize the letter..I was just peeping at her from outside without making her realize it was me.. As soon as she kept her handbag on the table and turned on her laptop... Than, she realized the letter.. She opened it...


DEAR MARY,

LIFE IS MEANINGLESS WITHOUT LOOKING AT YOU,
YOUR SMILE, IS ALWAYS DISTRACTING ME FROM CONCENTRATING IN MY WORK,
I CAN ALWAYS SMELL YOUR PERFUME, WHENEVER YOU ARE SOMEWHERE NEAR TO ME,
YOU ARE JUST A PERFECT CREATION OF GOD,
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SHARE THE SAME AMOUNT OF HAPPINESS AND ALSO SADNESS THAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH,
A DAY WITHOUT LOOKING AT YOU MAKES MY WHOLE DAY DIM TO DARKNESS
I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU THAT YOU MEAN A LOT TO ME
AND I JUST WANT TO SAY I LOVE YOU..

(AND IF YOU ARE INTERESTED,
YOU CAN WRITE ME A LETTER AND LEAVE IT UNDER THE FLOWER POT OUTSIDE YOUR ROOM..)

WITH LOVE,
MR.XXX

While she was reading, she was actually smiling.. Her reaction towards the letter was so satisfying to see.. She was indeed impressed with the letter I gave her.. After looking at her, I left the office.

19 March 1999, 7.58 p.m.

I went to check whether there was any letter behind the flower pot.. I was really hoping for a reply from her.. When I got closer to the flower pot, I realized that nothing was behind it.. I was so sad :( I didn't know what to do.. I just went to my place and continued doing my work.. It was totally a sad day.. Nights diary..

21 March 1999, 9.27 p.m.

You know what diary!!!Since yesterday I have been waiting for a reply from MARY,... And I have finally got it.. She stated that.......

DEAR MR XXX,

I WOULD LIKE, YOU TO REVEAL YOURSELF SO THAT I CAN KNOW YOU EVEN  BETTER..YOUR LETTER HAS IMPRESSED ME.. BUT I DON’T WANT TO GET IN A RELATIONSHIP THROUGH A LETTER..I WANT TO KNOW YOU BETTER..SO, PLEASE COME AND MEET ME  AT THE CAFETERIA DURING OUR LUNCH BREAK.

FROM, MARY

After reading her letter.. I was so amazed.. I didn't want to reveal myself yet because I am afraid that she won't accept me for who I am... I am just a normal looking guy,.So, I wanted to be her secret admire.. and get her many gifts to start up her day with a wide smile..

25 March 1999, 10.30 p.m.

I got her a Famous Amos cookies with a small teddy bear on it.. I left it on her desk and rushed out as soon as possible.. She was so happy to see that small gift on her table.. She kept staring at it.. I didn't want to keep looking at her.. so that she would not suspect me..

(days have been passing by and I kept giving her small surprises to keep her happy.. we both were still writing letters to each other.. but till today, I didn't want to confront to her yet... I kept having the nervousness in me.. i didn't want her to reject me for any reasons)

-after 2 years........-

3 March 2001, 7.30 p.m.

And I know the day is going to come so soon :)  

5 May 2001, 8.43 p.m.

A lazy day.. The whole day had been raining and I couldn't go out for a nice evening walk.. All I did was laze on the couch and watched TV.... And now it's time to go to bed.. Nights :)

*The End * (of the Diary)

On 11 September, Mary didn't go to work because she wanted Joseph to find her in the office.. But unfortunately, four planes that were flying in the US were hijacked by the Islamist extremists.. Two of the planes were flown into the twin towers or the WORLDS TRADE CENTER in New York.. And that is the place Mary was sent to work.. If Mary didn't go to work, than who would have went searching for her..... YES..you are right.. Joseph was in the building when this incident happened.. Mary got to know this.. and she was really upset about it.. She managed to find the hotel, he was staying to take back his belongings,, and that's when she found the DIARY...

All the while, she had been reading the diary... and she just realize how much Joseph loved her.. She couldn't take the pain.. After 2 days, Mary was found death.. She hung herself.. by writing a letter..saying... "I will come with you to Heaven"

Okay, now lets hear about the video presentation.. My group members, Shalini, Shamini, Ming, Lilian and me were suppose to figure out the story line of our video presentation and present it in class.. After presenting it, we had a couple of reviews from our classmates.. Most of them were saying that the story is predictable.. So, my group members and I decided to change the whole story line after accepting the reviews.. We were happy because our classmates were really honest to us regarding the review..

Later on, we came up with another story line which we thought it was really good.. All of us in the group were really happy and satisfied with our idea.. So we decided on planning on the dates to start our video.. All of us were really excited to do it, since it was our first time creating a comedy drama...

Few days later, we had a really bad news... Our best friend Ming had  lost his dad.. It was definitely so heart breaking when we heard the news.. We couldn't help the situation.. All we can do is talk and advise him to stay strong.. We totally didn't have the mood to do the video presentation.. How are we suppose to do it without our dear friend's presence..

So, our video presentation had delayed... Few weeks pass by,.. and it was Deepavali week... Shalini, Shamini and I had to celebrate the festival with our family..since it was a family tradition..We were so stressed out... We had many conflicts happening from the start.. All our other classmates have started on their video and we were lagging.. Soon as it, we started our video right after Deepavali.. 

 The process of our video is going smooth.. And this is because of the cooperation of  our group members..We have decided, not to reveal anything about the video now..Let it be a suspense... But, wishing that all our classmates will enjoy watching our video.. Not forgetting our lecturer, hope we have fulfill what he expected us to do.. 

                     

                                         

                            

                                     

                                      

                                 

Mind sharing a Secret ?

      Talking about magazines... To be honest, I don't really read magazines these days... But, I have to admit that I have read these magazine called SABRINA'S SECRETS". I really loved this magazine cause it has many good tips in it that can be learned. For example, the makeup tutorials... I thought putting up makeups would be difficult, but unfortunately its so easy. I used to dress my sister up as a princess and put on some pink eye shadow, lip sticks... and all kind of other make up sets...Though this magazine might pass as too "girly" , it certainly is a good mag for me way back then.

You might think I am weird but collecting Sabrina's Secret magazine was quite cool. It is magazine from Archie Comics and with every issue I get an item to add in my beauty box. It is really good cause I get stuffs like hair wax,hair serum, glitter gel and moisturizer.Inside that magazine also gives tips on hair styles, sleepover ideas and beauty idea. It also has taught me how to make various types of face masks. It also has cool stuffs like information on suspicions and birthstones.


Well, I know you may think I am UNCOOL but I am serious on the statement above.If anyone else out there collects Sabrina's Secret, please let the cat out of the bag ( if you know what I mean) , spill the beans and let us all know! 

BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU DREAM

Everyone definitely have their own dreams in life. It would be different in all individual around the world. For me, dreams are not necessarily for you to achieve your own benefits like making yourself famous to become an idol or also showing of your talents to the public.

For me, my dream is to give a shelter to those abundant dogs in the streets. It shouldn't be an ordinary shelter that most of us do to help those dogs. I would like to train the dogs to be independent, smart and well-mannered. The dogs should know how to take care of themselves. Example taking their own food from the storage, peeing at the right place, crossing the roads by following the rules of the traffic lights and so on .

The normal shelter for these abundant dogs are usually for certain time period, due to the least place they have to keep those dogs. Since, my dogs are well trained to be independent, for certain time of period I would let them go. I would rather release them because I know that they would be safe where ever they go. They would be smart enough to find food for themselves. It could be a little too imaginative but why not. This is why I am here to try full filling it.The movie "Hotel For Dogs" inspired me a lot. Its all about giving the stray dogs shelter and treating them well.

I always wanted a dog since I was a little kid. But, my parents didn't one me to have one because they said it's difficult to take care of it especially when you have plans to go for a vacation. Soon, when I was 16, one of my friend told me that in front of his house, there is an empty land and there were many puppies roaming around his house. I got really excited to know more about it. So, after school, I went to his house just to see those puppies. They were running around the road happily.

And then, I heard a puppy barking loud near a drain. So,as I went near to it, I saw a black puppy in it. It was actually stuck in the drain. Without wasting any time, I saved it. It was so adorable, and I decided to bring it back home. I kept him in a shoe box and brought him home. I showered him and gave him some milk to drink. I spoke to my parents about him and they were cool about it. He was so fat at that time, so I named him "CHUBBY".

I really love Chubby a lot. He is such a big boy now. He is already 2 years old. In this 2 years, I learned a lot from him. Even though  he is a fierce dog, he is always loving to me. One day, I hope I could rescue most of the abundant dogs and give them the same amount of love and support to make their life's as lucky as us.  

COOKING FOR A CHANGE

Cooking has been my passion since I was 14 years old. It all started up when my mum had her bussiness trip to Hong Kong and she had to leave home for a week. Since,  I was having my school break at that time, I decided to give a shoot on cooking. I actually know quit an amount of recipes from my mum because I always been a helping hand to her whenever she does cooking. I used to cut the vegetables, wash the dishes, and the most important one, I am there to actually taste her delicious foods. This is what most of the children does whenever their mums cooks. I don't know about the others but for me, I feel that my mum is the best cook. Since she left, I have tried cooking.Surprisingly, all the foods like curry puffs, chapatti, puri, tosai, chicken curry and also briyani rice  turned up perfect. I was so happy to actually cook meals for my father and sister. It was so nice to see them eating my cooking and more complementing me for it.

As the days pass by, I realized that I should try cooking western foods. Since, the Indian foods are mostly oily, i planned to purchase a book that have healthy kinds of western food. While I was searching for a perfect book in the net, i came across this book from Readers Digest named "Eat Well, Stay Well". So, I told my dad to purchase the book for me. After a week, I received the book. I was so excited to try cooking some dishes from the book. 

I cooked dishes like Hearty Vegetarian Lasagna with basil and Parmesan salad dressing, creamy polenta with cheese, candid sweet potatoes and more. Besides that, I also manage to cook dishes like macaroni cheese, spaghetti with some homemade tomato sauce, baked potato, homemade burgers and more without using recipe books. I created those recipes since I have cooking many kinds of western dishes.

I really enjoy cooking to the core. I hope that one day I become a good cook like my mother :)

A LAW STUDENT NOT KNOWING LAW & ORDER ?

Bitter but interesting news !!! Alvin Tan Jye Yee a law scholarship holder from Malaysia who studied in National University of Singapore and Vivian Lee have their choices of living their life differently.

 By posting pronographic pictures and videos of him having sex with his so called girlfriend have boost up their identity to the public. This action should not be called sex but its called porn. Even though, they have their own reasons to upload their private life to the public, but its so disappointing to know that they did not obey both the Malaysian  and Singaporean law!! Are they trying to challenge the law system? 

To be frank, i totally disagree with their irrespectful action. This action doesn't bring any advantages in life. They don't have to show sex tutorials to the younger generations because in secondary school, the students are taught about reproductive system in their form 3 syllabus (15 years old). 

Please bare in mind, that all your  blog posting shouldn't be offensive because it is viewed by people in all age groups.
