merdeka
but somehow the whole occasion nearly slipped out of my mind
despite me being part of the merdeka celebration @ Tav comm(do come!)
maybe it's the distance
maybe it's the people around me
maybe it's my so-busy-until-cant-update life
maybe it's the lack of atmosphere
maybe it's the absence of media coverage
maybe it jus doesnt apply to the younger generation-jus another reason to partey
meh

i think i've watched way too much petronas ads-which kinda resulted in this slightly emo-ish post

wk33-34
14/8- we left our lab halfways to see the 100m swimming finals in the common room...i think 40% of the class left and in the common room there must be 40 odd people cheering and shouting...that was fun..
15/8- lost my wax knife but found it back in someone's box...but that person kept saying that that was his, despite the factS that: the knife has my number on it, it has the burnt mark that i did accidently...i jus hv no idea how to get it back...
16/8- world vision 40 hr famine is on- i actually wanted to do it at the beginning of the year...but as the date approaches, i realise i have to do it under a group...so...didnt do lor...if i'm doing it i'll be going 40 hrs wihout sleep (since sleep is wat i need most)
17/8- went to indian indepedence day celebration- coz my fren was dancing...and i was kinda dragged to go
20/8-radiograph session- it was kinda fun-ish...taking differently shots of dexter (plastic man) and a skull...lolin the afternoon i had my drilling test...which i killed (in the bad way)- so that's a resit next weekright after the test at 4 continue to fiddle around with some wax which i have been fiddling since 2 weeks ago...then went to a talk on evolution vs creationism at octagon theatre which wasnt that enlightening-then wasted my time watching 'so you think u can dance' and olympics (sprint 200 m men final) before sitting down to study for my test the next morning at 11pm...slept at 4 (2 hr rest in between)
21/8-given the drilling exam format which will happen end of the yr...hv to pass 5 of 6 items to 'pass' ..like wtfungus...a HD to pass a unit...suddenly dent didnt look fun anymore...and fear of failing (enhanced by the test we just had after that) spread like wild fire and intensified and i was dead tired during lunchtime-mentally tired ..you know how when u are sleepy..your eyes are heavy but your brain is still active, thinking 'there's goes the eyelid again, man i shud sleep' kinda things but mentally tired was totally diff lol...you can be walking or cycling then *snap and *snap -and you go 'why am i here' to realise your brain jus disconnected for while there
22/8-even our lab instructor was saying 'i saw a few of you coming in at 8, did your waxwork til 1pm, went for the test, then came back to continue after that til 6pm' ...starting to get stressful now...finally manage to get 6 teeth onto my dentures but still look crap...
23/8-is going to miss all the fun coz my sense of responsibility is jus too strong to ignore...sorry guys...really wanted to go...
so inspired by harmonisation after i heard one at utopia the other night (:P) that i youtube some to see if i can learn it...lol

kids, bus, olympics, money, quote
I don’t think i can write stuff here...jus so un-inspiring...so i think this will mainly be non-sense...hahaha
Kids:
U know how things jus happen..u get all excited to write about it but when u get home and sit down...the stuff jus seems too menial to write about. Anyway...the other day when i was working...a mom and a girl came in to buy a subway each...so i finished making them both...then at the cashier and out the blue i decided to give the little girl her own plastic bag to carry (coz i tot the girl would be stoked to have her own carry bag...and normally i’ll stuff everything into one bag- to be environmentally friendly)...i purposely put in her drink into the bag to let her know that that’s hers...and she was like ‘is that mine? It has my drink in it...i have my own bag~~~’ in a cutesy manner to her mom..but u know adults, they don’t care...but i can see the smile on her face and the bag swinging in her hands when she left...so i tot...i can be a good paedodontist..hahah
After church, a few friends and i had lunch with a bunch of kids...the youngest being a yr5? And man is he racist...he started telling jokes like ‘what do you call an Abo priest’ ‘what’s the difference btw an Abo and a bucket of shit’ et...such a bad influence on me lol...and the guy who was driving us there was such a ‘koko’ no wonder the girls where all over him (slightly exaggerated)...haha
You know how kids can be really cute and fun to play with...and girl will go 'i want to have kids' right? But once u actually raise one...it will be totally different...like hell...so i suggest...u can either kidnap one, be a godfather or godmother to one, or jus work with kids...
Continued at home…
Bus:
The other day when I was bus-ing to work…I noticed this lady sitting with a huge brown colour book on her lap…but it was jus empty pages…must some autograph/wedding book. That was my thought after that quick glance around the bus which registered in what I’ve wrote about her.
But then after a while I glanced at her again (I wasn’t actually facing her, but standing and facing the side of the bus)…then I realise something…her hands were moving across…then I realise they were Braille (or sth else)…then I was like ‘oh crap’ in my heart…dunno why, maybe jus the assumption I made about her? Not sensitive enough…so me being ‘empty-minded’ at that time jus starting wondering about her…she looked calm tho, facing out of the bus…as though she was looking out at the riverside…but when she turned back, I somehow felt like she was staring back at me saying what are you looking at…but I continued to
Sometimes bus-ing can be fun…especially when there people having conversations in an audible range…talking about their housemates who refuse to pay, about the Jap test they jus had, etc…
Olympics:
Yes the opening was grand and I manage to miss the first 30 mins which was the best part in the whole ceremony…
I was watching one the sports on tv- gymnastics…it’s actually quite hard to perform…but everytime when someone fell onto the floor or slips off the balancing bar, it’s actually quite saddening…actually the close-up shots on their faces…you know that they are devastated/disappointed but they still don’t show it out and still continuing with what they were doing… feel sorry for them…
Money:
I lost my pay last week…180+…so stupid…pretty sure I lost it on the bus again…stupid
Just a quote I copied from a blog that I read but not knowing the author :
人生只不过是需要一点点的感慨来点缀
而我的感慨好像占了大部分
咖啡杯已经变得冰凉
咖啡还是没有喝完
或许我喜欢的就只是它的温度
而不是它的味道....

wk 32
Let’s see…actually I have stuff in my mind to write about…but just cant be bothered writing it out…don’t even know where to start…
Ok we were suppose to have this test…but the scope of material examined kept changing until someone complain and it got postponed…then we got to meet the head of the school coz apparently we have a lot of other complains about certain units ranging from ‘just-15-mins lecture’ to ‘late lecturer (who was extremely apologetic when she finally got there)’ to ‘reading a whole 300 pages of book and get tested on it (not knowing head or tails)’ to ‘not getting our marks back three months after the assessment’(which itself has lots of problem like some of the stuff were not even taught and the whole confusion with who the marker was)…the head wasn’t nice…at all…good thing the guild is behind us…muahahaha…school politics (unique to our course only apparently)…and our class rep resigned after all the commotion…
So we had another meeting with our year mentor (someone said he needed a translator to understand...just because his accent was weird…lol) and the paper that we were suppose to take…well we know VERY WELL what will be in the test…courtesy of the lecturer who set the paper…
So..that was pretty much the most interesting stuff that happened recently…
Jus had a prac test this morning…drill with all my might…trying to achieve: that curvature which reflect the outer surface, specific dimensions ranging from 1.5mm to 3mm, and making a ‘drain’ which is supposed to be 0.2 mm (like how do you even measure that)…all was well, I think I fail…
Met up with this guy from CU…had a talk over coffee at Dome (I don’t really like coffee)..talked about stuff…and due to me talking too much (I think I was tyring to make conversation) I have to meet up again next week…dunno ‘sigh’ or ‘yeah’…should be grateful (I was going to type ‘greatful’) … ‘Luke’ it will be
Saw my fren at uni and then saw my mentee at the bus stop…I swear 1st yr seemed ages ago…I was like thinking years back to recall what happen and then I realize it was barely a year ago…
And I missed the main campus…with all the people and ‘happenings’
Had a lecture at 5 til 6.30pm..dont mind coz it was awesome…on orthodontics
So now here I am 11.26pm, a 140 pages prosthodontics book (which I painstakingly scan and printed out) waiting for me to read (test on friday), several other books/magazines waiting for me to read as well…expedition to search for the cheapest durian around tomorrow…my laptop I’m afraid is dying…responding really slowly
Just some random stuff:
-It’s the 7th month in the lunar/Chinese calendar..boo
-this year’s Olympic had been not smooth sailing at all from what I read from newspapers…the ‘birdnest’ is not as safe as we thought…there were a lot of problems ‘passing on’ the oylmpic fire from ‘04 athens’ to ‘08 beijing’. From 1976 to 2004 the fire had only been extinguished (accidentally eg by wind) only 6 times. But after the Beijing official got the fire, it has extinguished more than 20 times at everywhere around the world (rain, wind, people, and even no apparent reason)…the five FuWa was also believed to be a curse (Nanking flood, Sichuan earthquake, Tibetan unrest etc). and the dates all have something to do with the number 8…freaky ey…
On a happier note…summer’s almost here
man i really can write crap...

深夜到黄昏
可能自己是夜猫子的关系吧。。
许哲佩-气球
前两天打电话回家这么多年来最短的一次吧。十分钟。因为电话卡用完了。虽然有spare的,可是也没打回家继续褒(电话粥)。翅膀硬了呱。
房祖名-little boy
最近迷上了 黄威尔。其实他的歌听过去还ok,也不清楚为什么会喜欢他。是他的性格?还是他身历?总不会是他那张还蛮耐看的脸吧?前两天听到他在电台弹着吉他唱歌,感觉很舒服。之前佳旺子莹上电台弹唱时感觉也一样的‘爽’。现在有点冲动想去民歌餐厅坐下来听歌,甚至上台驻唱,好好自我陶醉一番。可惜我不会吉他。小遗憾。
其实有听过他的名字,好像是什么上海新秀大赛冠军-大马人咧。从他文字看得出他很有个性(或可能是我自己想象出来的吧)。
黄威尔-石榴裙下(featuring Baby阿飞)
有点讨厌放学时间。我知道,很怪。可是我总是在学校范围多待一会,要不然就是跑到图书馆上网。漫无目的的上网。可能是不想想晚餐煮什么。而且这几天都在下雨,所以下雨现在是我慢回家的借口。
刚才有点被骗的感觉。自己人太好让位,怎么知道眼睁睁看着别人上车。最讨厌计划泡汤的感觉。真的经历太多次。
最讨厌人提到我娘的事了。
我看是旧病复发。

风吹乱我的头发 维护着手里的鲜花
在心中我是你等待的繁忙电话
等待回答
我猜对面的傻瓜 (我就是那个傻瓜) 也想和我一样等着她
盛开的玫瑰花掩不住
我们的黑脸颊
十二点约会我却九点出发
还特意准备我自创的笑话
先看场电影再喝奶茶
漫步月光下陪你回家
可是我等你等到双脚发麻
还叩不进你热线号码
我是你的几号傻瓜
我们都败给你了
在你的石榴裙下
爱情比莎士比亚来的复杂
除了信用卡还有孙子兵法
女生天气落差太大
一天里年能有几个变化
奇怪我用力表达心里的话
你称赞我用的幽默才华
我对爱情还看不化
我们都败给你了
在你的石榴裙下

天气很冷。
不好意思,有点词穷。

社会上有太多奇奇怪怪的代志
有真多人不愿意面对现实
听讲算命的巷仔口有真多人在排队
但是在我看来无意义
哈啊真无稀奇(有钱就判生没钱就判死)
哈啊我看袂落去
明那仔我要赶十点的飞凌机希望你暂时麦有代志
听听听讲我的烦恼是因为你
外面的空气总是让人快要窒息
但是在我的世界里
Oh I just want be free
(Yeah) (Oh Come on)
RAP
这咧社会三不五时就会有很多
有真多人的感觉已经变的不会讲话
你咧讲啥货我咧讲啥货大家到底是咧讲啥货
这咧是啥货那咧是啥货黑白讲话
谁都想要过了轻松有一天能出头天(爱拜拜拜拜神明)
外面世界这开阔(这开阔)
你还不出去(你你你咧等什么)
人生明明是彩色的你却甲它渐渐变作黑白
真心的朋友找无一个
哈啊I wanna be free

Exposed !
~~~~~
2nd photo series..
Exposed!
no, nothing obscene…
By exposing your camera (this is not a technically correct term), you record whatever 'changes in light' that your camera can ‘see’. Night modes work this way as well, by letting you camera ‘open’ longer so that the camera can record more light. That why you get blurred images. And also ‘firework’ modes.
Using a camera at my msia home, I’ve set it to manual and exposed for 15 secs.
Spiral motif
Liong
Into the future..(notice the bas number plate)
Red & Green
By exposing AND moving my camera,

Language
My mom’s side of the family(aunts, grandparents, uncle & my mum) can speak Canto, Hokkien, Hakka fluently(so u can kinda imagine a CNY reunion when they all and their spouses start talking in diff dialects).
Me and my siblings speak ‘pun-tang-zui’ (half-tank-full) hokkien, ‘ni-giang-ngiang’(a little bit- actually more like to none) fuchow, ‘boleh-tahan’ punya malay, understandable english, and mostly mandarin. I feel like a banana sometimes. (and I was trying to count in Fuchow jus now…embarrassing)
(edit:10/7 after being inspired by ZEWT’s post)
And now my dominant language has somewhat started to shift to English…which is VERY BAD!!!!!! Coz -I am a chinese, went to Chinese primary school, studied Chinese language up to form 5 (don play-play), listen to Chinese songs all my life, speak nothing but Mandarin to everyone around me (ok, except malay to some)…and now it’s starting to shift to English after 2.5 yrs…so how do u determine what is your dominant language- if u only speak one language (duh..), u talk to urself (in ur mind and out loud) in that language, u dream using that language(this is a bit harder to determine).
jus sth random...
if i wasnt doing dentistry, i don mind doing linguistics...or sth along those lines...interesting how languages evolve, their influences on other languages, and origins of words (eg when someone sneeze and u say BLESS YOU, is due to the epidemic or sth of some disease which happened long time ago and sneezing was one of the symptoms to this disease. So you bless them so that they wont have that fatal disease...and is still practised until today; how the name Japan came about; english ketchup comes from canto ke chup etc)...
and i must say
Chinese language is soooooo beautiful.....(the word 'chinese' will continue to refer to the madarin, the language unless specified). I was never good in chinese from primary school...got a B in UPSR (hvnt seen that word for a while)...somehow things changed in secondary school...no idea what sparked it...but i think i was trying to write good essays, so you know, we memorised words/phrases which can used in factual essays (like in malay, u use words like: kebejatan sosial, zaman pasca-kemerdekaan, guru kencing berdiri murid kencing melari, visi kudsi 2020 etc in every essay...and u blame everyone-government, media, parents, school for everything bad that's happening)...and i supposed by reading a lot you kinda improved...and memorising proverbs(ming ju) exposed, well, me personally to the colourful poems of old time...and old chinese language comprehension...but now everything return to teacher luu...actually admire those who did STPM chinese...terror...
i'm currently watchign shen diao xia lv

A help in need
Shit I’m going to miss the bus. Just like that old woman.
Yes, that old woman. Guilt suddenly flow through my body.
I still cant believe myself. Something so simple yet I do not have the courage to do it. Or maybe deep down I just cant be bothered. I was walking down London Court, walking towards the bus stop to catch my bus to work. Then this lady caught my eye. Old. Dragging a luggage in one hand and corica’s apple strudels maybe in another one. She was walking very slowly, sightseeing perhaps. That was the excuse I gave. Well I’m pretty sure a lot of people heard of the story of a boy who helped an old lady to cross a road when the old lady didn’t actually wanted to. He was thunder-strucked. Ok, fine he wasn’t. So I told myself I will help her to carry her stuff onto a bus if I can. Coz somehow she looks familiar. Ok mayb all old people look alike. But I’m pretty sure I helped her last yr or sth to get onto a bus and off.
I kept on walking, glancing back jus to see how she going. It’s not like I m rushing or something but I still kept walking.
Later she appeared at another bus stop close to mine. Tough luck, I thought. Obviously she’s catching another bus but somehow something kept telling me she wanted to come to my stop. Maybe it’s her still holding her luggage in a dragging motion and her keep looking over to my stop.
But my bus came. I boarded sat down and looked out the window at the old woman.
Then everything happened so fast..
Ok I can turn this into a fiction and say that the old woman got hit by the bus which would definitely make a much bigger impact but no, that didn’t happen.
She reached out her hands to hail the bus when the bus passed by her stop. But the bus didn’t stop maybe because it wasn’t the stop for this bus or maybe the driver didn’t notice. I wanted to shout out to ask the driver to stop but somehow I jus froze. The bus drove off, leaving the lady. Smiling, as if laughing at her own bad luck…that’s another 30 minutes of wait if she has to catch the same bus.
If only I had helped…
