new year 2009, memorable and regretful and full of mischief. i want to upload plenty of photos but i cant, i don't trust the computers here in the school library...
31st of december was my coursemate zinc's birthday, so we kinda celebrate it together with new year. our senior lucas brought us and piaw in one car while lilian drove the rest in a rented car all the way to tebrau to catch a movie together. we intended to watch bedtime stories by Adam Sandler.........
.....
ended up watching Australia instead... which was really pretty impressive and everything, but we watched half-heartedly, due to a few reasonss...
- we are sitting too far out at the front (its hard to take in the whole picture)
- we are not watching wat we wanted
- it was a pretty long move, with our twelve midnight curfew on the other bend...
- the gallopping of horses and cows, real magnificent
- the romance epic, i simply love nicole kidman, awesome
- the storyline, though it gets boring, since its such a happy ending
- the singing of aboriginal people in australia, amazing
in the end, we were late due to the heavy traffic. we got our matrics card scanned, bad thing. wat a way to countdown for new year.
this is a brief one. been back for some time already. glad that i would be going back home very soon, on the 22nd! cant wait for new year to come and everything. but really dreaded on the part that i have to stay here for approx. 5 months before going home again sometime in early june or late may.
finally feeling like a university student. i had been out shopping far more than what i had been doing the whole semester in my first semester. but it also implies that i am spending much much more money than i should have been. but my purchases are still mainly on food and entertainment, so maybe i should seriously consider cutting all that expenses.
plus plus plus, one of our lecturers this semester, namely Mr. HBB, he's like a real adore, he made classes enjoyable anf far more lineant in many aspects of our grades. that kind of made it easy for us to score and so its like, oooh, so this is uni life.
till next time, ciao~
love ya all~
for more picture, check out my photo album~
MERRY CHRISTMAS~
It had been a great year, 2008, a year of great change. Yes, changes. Mutual changes. I am not the same person anymore. Physically, mentally, spiritually, intellectually, verbally, my state of mind, its almost too much to bear. I am not sure if I liked everything happening to me at the same time, but I won’t complain, at least for now, who wants to stay the same, mundane and repetitive and tedious lifestyle, huh?
I am starting to see more perspective. Starting to think in other people’s shoes, not before dragging and hauling heavy emotional burdens and finally coming through the fog, I am. And it’s not easy at all.
Haha, another thing is that, I learn to laugh things off. Not having to win all the time is my new motto. Kind of. I guess I was way too hard on myself, always wanting to be this and this, but, guess what I don’t have to be all that to be good enough, I am special in my very own way, and I am well aware bout that.
One more thing, people especially are never what they seem to be, myself, people I liked, and people I don’t fancy half as much. So much wisdom in all the sayings before us, feel psyched out all of a sudden. Some people actually understood. Its… complicated.
Time for resolutions I guess, hope next year is going to be a blast.
- Please behave by smiling whenever I am not comfortable meeting new people or trying things I don’t like. It’s common courtesy.
- Please don’t forget to read the bible and pray and mean it every day, please finish reading the bible this year! No more hauling… it’s now or never.
- Please be more disciplined. At least don’t fall into temptations half that easily. Pray when you are weak.
- Please play nice. Friends are more important than what I already understand.
- Love thy family. I will love my family members, lovable or not. Be lovable for them too.
- No more slacking off on homework its sickening having to do a huge pile by the end of the week. For crying out loud!
- Continue to bake. Nothing other than myself is stopping me!
- Cultivate patience. Things will turn around. Not that being impatient will make things turn around.
- Take the time to be alone and think about things well and deep. Instead of following the tide, be myself, despite how strong the wave can be.
- be grateful and count my blessings! I am so unworthy of all these and yet He made everything possible for me~
christmas cama and is far gone. oops, how did tat happen??? guess i m just slightly too caught up in my new found hobbies, yup, something i had been ranting on about since the very first days of my holidays, and yup, today's my last day of the sweet holiday. my hobbies? ehem.. baking. haha, yup, baking...
i have succesfully baked
- pancakes ( pancakes with banana, pancakes with peanut butter, pancakes with nothing, pancakes with special syrup)
- raisin cake
- banana cake
- bread
i made plenty of juices, but the only sophicasted dessert i managed to pull off was this: timbale, from cocoa powder, eggs, and sugar
baking is cool! try it!

Me, watch, Twilight, today. With chia n wei thing.
Me, very, Disappointed with the movie.
I feel so sad now... I guess its because i put my expectations up too high, its devastating. The plot's okay, but the whole story is moving in this unbelievable fast pace, it left us breathless, in good and bad ways. i like them. edward and bella and all the other characters. very convincing and wrench breaking. but something's missing, i just dono wat.
sigh, but i really like it. i hate the movie. but i like them. and the big story behind it. the whole idea. and everything. except for the movie. still in my disappointed mood. but, i will still be looking forward to watch the sequels, and re-watch the movie, yeah, i hate it tat much and love it so much. its weird i know.
today's my dad's birthday!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!!
P/S: guess who i met today. yit phin aka lucas! haha, and we were in the same theater hall watching twilight together! haha, talk about coincidence~
And that's exactly how i feel at the moment.
why in the world did i want to blog in the first place? i have no idea. its not because i feel that i m interesting and my life isn't all tat interesting anyway. why did people blog? what would one get out of blogging? hmmm...
well, i guess it doesn't harm writing bout boring stuffs right?
keep blogging? yeah. sigh.
Puff! My my, its getting dusty...
Days go by and by and by, and i m getting fatter and lazier and heavier and messier (my room anyway) and more bored and more unhealthy... what's the saying that a good rest in the holidays will make one healthier and better about? its the exact opposite! i am not enjoying myself, definitely not. i am wasting my time...
the happiest time, next to coming home to all things familiar and spending time with my parents and siblings and watching tv non-stop, is meeting up with my friends~ so good to see you guys~
Movie Reviews
Sincerely, Sharon Labels: English Culture, Entertainment, inment, Japanese Culture, Movies
Nana
I have heard about this movie a long time ago but never really understand what it was about, I was browsing through mysoju the other day and stumbled into this movie.
It was not what I expected (I expected another typical Japanese love story), it was very down to earth and realistic and the themes were clear. It was about life. Everyone will have something to ponder on after watching this, the movie speaks for itself.
I especially liked the part where the main character Nana Osaki came about in Hachi’s life, revealing that being ignorant and weak is a crime. Some may think that its natural for them to be protected and always depend on others to help due to their weak characteristics, but it is not that way. It is almost pathetic. Everyone needs to stand up on their on feet no matter how weak they may feel they are.
4 stars.
Nana 2
I did not stop after Nana, and went full throttle for Nana 2. It was not a disappointment to me, as it was to many. I was unhappy about the fact that they changed the actor featuring Hachi and Ren in the first movie but all in all it was great, for me.
This sequel brings stronger messages and portrays the weaknesses of human more directly. The choices are in our hands, if we are weak and go on for something that we did not really want it usually brings forlorn and hurt to more people and in the context of this movie, its romance.
In the end of the story, more than love is distorted. Friendship, loyalty, pride and faith are put into test, and we have every right to feel upset in the end.
But sad stories about the weaknesses of mankind have its own way of getting into the deepest part of your heart and soul. Instead of asking why they were so stupid, ask us. Movies are replicas of the real living. Fortunately, it’s never the end after we did something like that. Turn back. No matter how hard it may be. The world is more accepting than you think.
4 stars.
Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian: The Return To Narnia
I have trouble understanding the story. I haven’t really been through the books. I have very vague recollection of the story from childhood reading and it was not very helpful.
I wanted to understand more, so I browsed through the web for more information. I was more confused after reading the history about how the books came about and what people thought about the books and really, there are so many aspects they are arguing about. Seriously, these stories are meant for children! I will get my hands on a copy soon and I will update my opinions…
4 and a half stars.
Bridge to Terabithia
This movie, I watched especially due to the fact that people mentioned that it has something to do with Narnia. And wow, the only connection was like they mentioned the name of the book in the movie like, once?
Okay, this movie earns its thumb ups by being really simple and boring even and yet, they managed to get the message across. Its bold, its adventurous, its wild. When I mention wild, I meant, let your imaginations run wild! Not particularly practical since the world we are living in really ain’t what we can use our imagination to cover up, the problems still lies there.
But, if we aren’t like the children in the stories, being naïve and put in all their faith by simply believing when situations are meek, we won make it up there.
3 and a half stars.
The Spiderwick Chronicles
Haha, okay, this one is a light one. I find myself more concentrating on the illustrations and the buildings and colours than the plot.
It’s something light and cheerful and fantasy-like and enchanted and English and fairy-tale-like and mysterious and … u get the idea.
27 Dresses, Over Her Dead Body, What Happened in
Hmmm, by the way I put the three names together, it means I really don feel like elaborating about them. I am so quitting romantic flicks. Even though the guys are really good looking and the girls really sweet and everything.
joined Chia's youth last last night. its a very, how should i put it? compact? a very compact and close-knit fellowship, the people there are great, very easy going and talkative (talkative is important, if everyone is quiet like me, things will get really boring)
and the bonus is, i get to meet chia's infamous ah ko~ haha, she's been going on and on about what a great bro angkat she has but i never really can imagine until i gwt to know how he looks like n how he's like in person. he's a fatherly knd of leader. very very nice!
another bonus, haha, i get to meet the "principal of free city" (chia, do u think anyone will figure out this one?)
days still go by innocently, worthlessly, wastefully, uselessly, unppreciated, unavoidably, unnecessarily, carelessly, senselessly, mindlessly, drowsily, easily (sometimes not so easy) but today i finally did something out of the norm, (meaning besides sleep n eat n tv n bath n sunday service) i decided to looked up and learn about things that i dont know. and today i looked up for obama.
n wat i learned today?
his name is barrack (used to be called barry for short but told not to)
his wife's name is michelle
he has two daughters and one of them is called sasha (short for natasha)
n he's borned in honolulu
his dad was a kenyan
n i read nothing bout his political schemes and deeds, cz i m not into politics, but maybe i ll read tomoro, since i m reading for information n my main objective is to learn things i dont know.
n i searched for the word sharon. 72,600,000 search results and more than 5,000 images came out. talk about the distinctive and uniquness of existence. i wonder.
suddenly, i miss my students, very much. and also my teaching days. can i go back? if only...
i really miss them...
What can I do with my 6-week-long holiday?
So far, what I had been doing was:
1. Sleeping.
2. Catching my beauty sleep.
3. Taking naps.
4. Eat.
5. Eat for fun.
6. Breakfast.
7. Lunch.
8. Dinner.
9. TV.
10. TV.
11. More of TV…
(mind you, 1, 2, 3 are not the same and 4, 5 , 6, 7, 8 are also very different k)
That’s why, I think my life like that isn’t going to work. So…
I came up with this list:
1. Read all the books I wanted to read. But on top of my to-read-list at the moment is the whole eclipse collection. And that means money money money! And I cant find any electronic versions of the book online. Bummer~
2. Learn a new language. But I have limited resources and there’s really no distinctive purpose in doing so. It’s not like that I’m migrating or anything. And even if I master a particular foreign language, I cant communicate with people around me to practice anyway. So sooner or later I’ll un-master the language, and that equals to – wasting my time and energy.
3. Build up my body. As in gaining stamina, keeping healthy and fit, master exercising skills, master certain sports like: jogging, badminton, basketball, etc. etc. At least this is beneficial, I will get a healthier body in the end. But I don’t see the point because after going back to UTM, I will definitely slack down again. So, that equals zero also.
4. Learning to cook. This is important for my grade also actually. I’m taking catering for my co-curriculum next semester and the credits are counted also. So, at the same time I can cultivate my interest and skills, right? But that only takes like a small portion of my time everyday. Because I need my mom to teach me anyway. Hmmm…
And I’m out of ideas. I am bored to death already…
Will really appreciate it if anyone out there wants to share some smart ideas… yeah, I’m really that desperate

looks like my blog has become a one-holiday-one-post kind of blog... so sad~ cant online at all in campus!!! why? why? why? why yen pin's room can online? why everyone can online at KRP's cafeteria but i cant???
end of semester one! 5 more to go! hooray! but what next? that's really bothering me. one thing that's taunting me, i did not join any societies or clubs watsoever in campus, and that's like the sole thing i m looking forward to do before going to uni!!! i am so disappointed.
my life is getting mundane. study. sleep. chit-chats. brunch. dinner. sunday service. church fellowship. evangelism visits. go for classes. attending follow-up classes. and that's it. its really boring.
i really really hope that i will initiate some change in my lifestyle for the second semester, otherwise how am i supposed to enjoy campus life???
i m now on a more important issue... how to spend my holiday?
