July 1^st – 10.30am, LaV Mall Staff Meeting

I went to bed at around 3am, my heart was not beating normally, my eyes were not shutting, I kept on memorizing my introduction speech in my sleep, I jumped out of bed whenever I hear music and alarm clock sounds which was so not me as I always sleep like a dead person. I had such weird behavior that night BECAUSE I was not well prepared to accept the post as the “new CEO of LaV Shopping Mall”, lol.

We are in a group of two where there will be a chairperson and a secretary. The main purpose of doing this assignment is to look at our minutes of meeting. When Paul first announced there will be such assignment, I was like “Huh?!!”and quickly told my partner, “I will be the secretary! *smile*”When the time comes, my partner kept slamming her forehead saying, “I can’t do it, I Can’t DO iT, i caN’T dO iT!! You can! I believe you CAN!”Yeah, my partner has a lot of exaggerate gestures and expressions… Since she has FAITH in me and also there must be someone to tolerate, I agreed without  given any choices… haha.

On that day, my silly partner who was just a secretary told me that she was shivering, *faint*. I think I should be the one shivering instead of her loh as I had to talk for 50 minutes and she had to write and listen for 50 minutes (with the help of a camera recorder some more, alamak… haha).

After that, Paul gave me some feedback on how should I end the meeting effectively and other positive comments. He even commented on our dressing – “Well dress”,he said. Both of us did plan to wear semi formal, luckily I changed my mind and said, “I will wear slacks…”My private secretary then went, “Harrrrr… really ah? Can I wear slippers instead of heels? You know lah, I have to take the bus, walk…”and she went on and on complaining how troublesome it was… I then interrupted “Up to you loh, I am going to wear SLACKS and flat shoes”.The Metro bus came and she wished me “Good Luck + Zhap Sang!”Her Metro bus then ‘farted’a thick smoke, *suffocated*.

July 5^th – 7pm, House Warming

I was still rushing my chapter 5 as I had to email it to my supervisor the next day. I thought I could finish it by 5pm, unfortunately I can’t. Anyhow, I’ve managed to complete it before 12am and she had already marked my chapter 5. =)

My ex-neighbour who was living a few blocks from my house had moved to a bigger house also in Melawati. After settling there for 2 years, she held a house warming party where she had invited us, her ex-neighbours and her church friends. Her house was freaking big and comfortable! I didn’t check out their bedrooms because there were too many people crowded at the staircase. I love their wall which was painted in lime green, dark green, light green and white. The curtains were very pretty as well.

The foods were delicious. According to the aunty’s son, these waiters, waitresses and chefs served a ROYAL FAMILY that afternoon and came here to serve us at night. Well, it is up to us to believe him or not, haha. There were fried kuay teow, chicken curry, rojak, asam laksa, ice kacang, popiah, grilled lamb, some kuihs and drinks include fizzy drinks, beers, packet drinks and water.

Besides just house warming, it was also a gathering for my mum and I. My mum took this opportunity to chit chat and catch up with the aunties although some of them were living opposite of my house, while I got to meet some of my childhood friends. The person that surprised me the most was ‘Watermelon.’ Calling him that you roughly had an idea on how round he is. But that was when he is in primary school. Now, he looks like Yao Ming! So tall and thin, my gawdness… I couldn’t recognize him when he came but he does look a little bit familiar. When one aunty shouted his name, I stared at him “WATERMELON??!!”and he looked back smiling,“LAICI!!”The funniest thing was when we recalled our childhood life. He still remembered the song and dance my friend and I did, so embarrassing *shy*.

We went home at 9pm and I continued with my chapter 5…

July 8^th – 1am, Michael Jackson’s Memorial Service

I was yawning in class, my head started to go fishing in the afternoon, I was grumpy, my eyes and forehead were tight and all I want to do when I reached home was SLEEP!

I slept for 3 hours that day because I stayed up late to watch Michael’s memorial service on channel E! It was very heart breaking to watch him leaving this world. Sometimes, I still think that he is alive and have this very childish thought, “Will Michael Jackson suddenly awake in the casket? How nice if he is buried alive…”

During the service, there were some celebrities and prominent people went on stage to say a few words about Michael and all those speeches were very touching. The part that made me could not hold back my tears was listening to Michael’s daughter, Paris’s speech. I used 5 tissue papers that night, my nose was blocked and I could hardly breathe haha! My eyes were swollen when I got up.

As my family watched the repeat, I still had watery eyes when Paris talked how cool her father was, it was just too emotional and pitiful when I watched his children grieving. =(

I’ve been listening to Michael Jackson’s songs these few days because MTV kept airing his songs and it felt like he is still here. Most of his music was very lively, it makes you want to dance. Even though you can’t dance, your head will eventually bob with the beat, your body will be swaying left and rightand your foot started dancing too! MIRACLE! Haha. Besides that, watching his music videos was even more ENTERTAINING.

Recently, his sister – La Toya had voiced out that Michael was MURDURED because he was surrounded by evil people who fed him drugs and wanted to use him to earn money. She even knew Michael is not going to live until his London concert. I hope that human who is responsible for Michael’s death be punished! That human had BROKEN the hearts of millions of people.

Besides, a video also captured Michael Jackson’sGHOST at his Neverland ranch. I haven’t watched the video on You Tube yet, will watch it later. From the picture on NST, the figure does look like Michael… =0

July 10^th – 11pm, Home

My dad came home very late that day and he looked pretty upset. He told my mum that he went and checked his eyes. The optician then told him he had cataract in one of his eyes and suggested him to visit one of the professional eye specialists at Setapak. My dad went and met the doctor, he said my dad’s cataract is very minor. The doctor had set a date for my dad to undergo a first operation on one eye then the second eye on the following week.

Yesterday was his first operation. The doctor had inserted a lens in his eyes, so that next time, he does not need to wear spectacles. He only needs to make a pair of presbyopic glasses after he recovers. Now, my dad can see things very clearly with his right eye. He can even see my WHITE HAIR?!!??Hahahaha.

I hope everything goes smoothly and speedy recovery for my dad. He has delayed most of his work because he can’t sign cheques and approve something, something. Just now, he wanted to drive to his office to complete them. My mum advised him “Better don’t lahh…*frown*” Luckily he listens. If he still insist to go, hmm… I will offer to be his driver but I was so sleepy. I should be picking my younger brother back from school but I fall asleep, haha. *pai seh*

July 11^th – Evening, Home

My mum was screaming, “My undergarments were stolen! Shyt! My new bra is gone!”It was the first time somebody stole our clothes. That day, my mum heard noise at the backland but she didn’t feel suspicious because she thought somebody was plucking banana leaves again. When she was about the take the clothes in, she couldn’t find her underwear. She opened the backyard door and checked whether it had dropped at my neighbour’s yard or drain. However, nothing was there…

In the evening, she suddenly thought about her new bra. That was when she CONFIRMEDsomebody had stolen her undergarments.

Today, she checked her closet to count her undergarments and found out there are another set of undergarment went missing. She then confirms again that, the ‘pin tai’ had stolen her undergarments few months ago but she did not realize it because she thought she had accidentally placed them in my drawers. At first, she suspected the maids. After that, she suspected the grass cutter! She claimed that there was one grass cutter asked her whether she wants to cut her grass and he gave her a very hamsap smile. My mum was very curious with his question because when he cut the grass at the backland, he knew there was no grass at my house. Moreover, it is not the first time he asked my mum. Oh gawd, I hope it is not him who stole my mum’s undergarments! Super pin tai mannn…my mum’s life is at risk too. At the same time, it also shows that my mum is still very attractive, hahahahha!

Well, hope my mum can get over it. She has been talking about it for the past three days. To be honest, I am bored of listening to it but I can’t tell her that, lol =)

July 13^th – 10am, PB Auditorium 3

It was the signing ceremony for UTAR creative industries. Dato Seri Ong Tee Keatwas the guest of honour. My course was compulsory to attend because they needed students and our course has only 32 students, so it is just nice, not too big and not too small, =.-.

I wasn’t paying attention during the ceremony because Sutanium gave me and Ojisan some primary 5 English papers to mark. Guess what? I enjoyed marking those papers and it motivated to be a teacher now, lol. My mum will be very happy to hear that. ^^

There were local television stations covering this ceremony, such as TV3, 8TV and NTV7. I don’t know whether I appeared on television because they filmed us row by row. I hope they didn’t focus me marking papers, that will tarnish UTAR’s image weihh, opps, hehe.

After the ceremony ended, I went to Times Square for mega sales shopping spree. While on the train, I was shocked to see the whole KL was covered with smoke – it was Sumatra again causing serious haze in our country. =,=

July 14^th – 9am, Lab

We had online journalism tutorial today. Jeswant taught us on how to google the internet and I learnt a lot! I didn’t know we can do so many things with google! Wow, “dai hoi ngan gai mannnn!”

When Jeswant asked us to type anything we like, I typed ‘Irene Hiew’and clicked image. I jokingly pointed at one old man named “Hiew Vun Li”and said, “Hey, your grandfather…” She looked and I expected her to scold me something like “apa lah! Wu liao…”surprisingly she DID NOT. Instead, she moved her head closer to my monitor and said, “I think that is my uncle, he looks like my uncle…”with a very serious expression. I can’t stop laughing and asked, “Really? I thought I was just joking?!!?”She kept saying, “I think so lah..”So I clicked on the picture thumbnail andyou know what, the title is “St Michael’s School, Sandakan, Sabah.”I was shocked! “Oh my god! From Sandakan! He is really your uncle! I am just joking and it is real!!”She stared at me with that slanting smile, “Hm, joking lah huhh…”*** super crazy ***
