The Dog Days Are Over

Well have been in a hell of a downfall for me this pass few months....
things don't seem to go my way....

failing an interview (sucks)...

messing up my whole planning for my future (double suck)...

emo relationship (triple suck)...

haywire the whole moving house thingy
PS: i just moved to a new place (Quadruple suck)...

feeling lost (quintuple suck)...

well everything just suck with a capital "C"
but at least with all those rubbish going on with my life i manage to actually survived it...
3 cheers for me "hip hip hurray" x 3
well everyone has their ups and downs well just this song the dog days....
well my dog days are over and i am taking that damn elevator up...
so dedicating this song now to everyone who has been experiencing the dog days now so be happy as its gonna be over real soon...

Happiness, hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with a drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run

Run fast for your mother run fast for your father
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind you
Can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses
'Cause here they come

And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had
And what was left after that too. oh.

Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back
Struck from a great height
By someone who should know better than that

The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses
'Cause here they come

Run fast for your mother and fast for your father
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind you
Can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses
Because here they come

The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses
Because here they come

The Yellow Uproar !!!

2 days ago marks a memorable day...
a day which Malaysia "FINALLY" make it to the Eyes of The World....

(PS: famous with this news of the 709 rally) well as Ella sung it "Standing in The Eyes of The World"...

who would had imagine that it would be in such way....

News from all over the world are reporting on the events and the people are commenting on the "Why would the police catch this people in a peaceful demonstration" well fill in the blanks....

if its a democratic country then the freedom of speech and freedom of expressing ones self should not be stop...

the head honchos could no longer wired the entire country no more as people are all now educated and are very much aware that everyone is protected by the constitution and the law on human rights and freedom of speech... (keeping the people quite is not that easy as before)

in order to earn respect and peace you cannot be done by force....

best example of all is the incidents and violence done by the police....

to me personally from the looks of it the police are not disciplined and were not well trained to handle such situation....

people got hurt, head were bleeding, and even death were announced ....

the police handle the situation badly acting like hooligans...

childish acts as this will only enraged those demonstrators and make the situation worst....

people would fight back.... as peacekeepers they should control the situation not make it worse

watch 4.15 you will what i meant ....

"The Clash of the Titans" has begun... an uproar of the yellow will come upon the country and this time ... the main power might just lost everything after one wrong move by just not allowing a what was originally a peaceful rally....

"bumi ini milik siapa"... "UMNO adalah parti yang paling unggul di dunia"

so people don't just sit there at your home and spam my Facebook with each of their political views .... comments are useless if you people don't move your ass and register yourself and VOTE !!!

VOTE for your future not talk about your future and that's it....

action speak louder than words.....

before i end this post watch this video.... inspire yourself

before i end this post watch this video.... inspire yourself

Graduation !

looks like 4 years of university is finally gonna be over....

the days that i fear so much has finally come....

the people i will miss the most will be Zoo Fwenz...

you guys have been there for me all these time....

i know i wont find any people like you anywhere else.....

i remember it very clearly up till today how we met ...

its still so clear in my mind.....

from how we come together from all the different walks of life.....

how we grow fonder by photography assignments, how we travel together to places,

how we celebrate birthdays...

how we go outings...

how we won competition...

how we get tired together...

we shared smiles, laughter, tears and anger but we still come back to this one big happy family...

its a shame time pass me by so fast...

the moment i fear all this while has finally arrived...

all my bestiest will be having their own life....

walking their own path... i wonder when will it be the time we all will cross path once again like this wonderful 3 years of degree together...

i really would like to thank you guys for going through my foul mouth with me...

how i bully some of you... how i tease you guys...

how you guys are there for me ... the phone the present you guys gave me i will keep it always in my heart i appreciate it alot...

SUCKER PUNCH

well i have recently watch this awesome movie from Zack Snyder and Steve Shibuya...

creators of 300 and Watchmen

bringing us into the fantasy of a girls wildest mind

depicting friendship, escape, actions, sex, and reality with alot of symbolic issues....

well i find alot of people don't quite like it...

well people don't quite like Watchmen too

which was their previous movie...

well i find that this kind of movie breaks

the norms of a kick ass Chick flick....

its something worth while to watch if you like artsie movie's

if not then don't bother you might just think its a waste of time and money ...

gamers... fantasy... action... thrilling... and artsie people

should definitely watch this the motion graphics is awesome with the colors and the shots beautifully placed making it simply irresistible to recommend it to my fellow friends and readers... well if graphics and motiongraphers watch this its awesome.

here is some taste of what to come....

Feudal warriors......

Trenches....

Dragon....

Distant Planet

Sucker Punch.....

Enjoy

Love,

a few months ago this date 27th of every month marks the start of an endless peril bound within me...

but this is the 1st time ever 27th i feel free

as how wonderful life is now you're in the world

this is YOUR song ....<3

i hope you don't mind i put down in words....

How wonderful life is now you're in the world....

a toast for a wonderful one month for you and me ... and years to come ...

a warm dedication to you ...

YOUR SONG

My gift is my song
And this one's for you
And you can tell everybody
That this is your song
It maybe quite simple
But now that it's done
Hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world

Sat on the roof
And I kicked off the moss
Well some of the verses well
They got me quite cross
But the sun's been kind
While I wrote this song
It's for people like you that
Keep it turned on

So excuse me for forgetting
But these things I do
You see I've forgotten
If they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody
This is your song
It may be quite simple
But now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words

How wonderful life is now you're in the world
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world

TANGLED feelings !!!

final year project was like hell !!!

having sleepless nights and countless stress...

sigh ....

i certainly know the life of the creative line is like that... but...

how much to others know about our life....?

thats the question...

i am all my besties therapist...

i hear their cry for help... i help advice and nurture their weeping heart....

well not so great (hyper-balled)

i was basically just doing what a friend needs... someone to talk to and to hear them out....

at least my friends has someone....

sigh ... what about me ??? i thought i had someone....

but i seem to be expecting too much from that someone...

when i am sad and moody still nobody knows...

when i am moody i have to control afraid i might cause fights...

when i wanna share something i need to pick the correct timing....

what i am feeling who can tell ? as usual nobody ... i am a great actor at heart....

acted all the while.... i lay my mask down for someone...

but does that someone know about it....

i am such a nothing ....

i can't even let someone feel secure...

cant let someone understands me a little bit....

everyones wants me to hear them out ....

who wants to hear me out ??? WHO ???

feeling so complicated now like this tangled wire !!!

Luv,

~GiNo

This is It !!!

Currently I have been so caught up with Final Year Project....

hardly had time for anything sorry to neglect my blog so long....

well people always say a good girl friend is someone that influence their other half to be good and excel in their undergoing...

previously i have been through damnest road in my life...

caught in a triangle of wrong...

people hates me... friends thinks i am wrong... friends dont support... studies going down the drain... emotionally unstable... the whole world went upside down....

so many things i can't say nor tell ... when i need to say something there was no one... not even blog it out... i was so bound in to that damn relationship....

the day was dark everyday to me... there was no smile... there was no peace... there was no sweet dreams... there was no good night sleep...

suddenly sunshine came in..... you're hand came in and pull me out from this oblivion....

well i was glad that i console a friend in need...

i never knew you're the one...

its been awhile we know each other but never thought you would be my saviour...

thanks for coming into my life...

bringing me out of this mess... you're the one thats have influence me to be good....

all the things turn wayward up now...

smile filled my face... my life is not filled with guilt no more...

now my design is going better and my studies is not all haywired....

you are my savior i am glad its 27th i ask you.... and now i am so happy now....

so motivated in doing anything... you're like my energy booster....

thank you for coming into my life at the right moment....

love is like a knot....

its a beautiful mess....

thanks for bringing me into the mess together....

Luv,

What Can i Do ???

well people may think my life is beautiful...

but those who are close with me knows my life is nothing but a living nightmare...

there is so many people pursuing me in search for happiness...

but i chose someone else which turn so many people down in disappointment ...

its not perfect happiness for me...

but i have heard one of my seniors say

everybody wants to be happy but no ones wants to feel pain,

but how do we get a rainbow if there was no rain

well i now i know that ... feelings are so uncontrollable is something beyond you and me...

so what can i do... really what can i do...

hope you enjoy the song....

Luv,

Friends To Stay...

I finally reach Penang for Chinese New Year....

I never missed my home before in my whole life ....

i was looking forward to go home starting from 16....

felt so lonely ... when family is around i feel so comfortable ... from young when i cry i will run to mommy when i grow up mommy is still like my shelter ...

the beginning of this perfect friendship

then was in my room in the afternoon i look back on all the pictures of my friends....

i suddenly cried... like now writing this i cant help it but my tears flow right down to my cheeks....

i don't know why since when i have become such a looser and sentimental...

after the gathering yesterday i felt so scared of departing from each other...

we will be graduating so soon... life we had together won't cross that often anymore...

so i chose to enjoy myself to the max with them ... my fellow zoo frenz ...

(PS : i was ballistic last night)

everyone seems to be so much in my life already ...

they are so much more than just best friends they have already become my family...

when i am so down with lousy love life... you guys are always the elevator up...

i know you guys can't help.. i know... but standing behind my back is good enough... i really apreciated it... cross my heart

we even won the MYC mag snapshot contest

a not so wonderful hotel but spending with the right people the place felt very warmth and perfect...

so many things we have been through.... laughter, sadness, excitement, adventure together....

we quarrel, we yelled at each other, we have different thoughts but most of all we had each other... although by the time we graduated and started working we would could afford to go wherever we want but it doesn't matter where the place is but it is who you go with and spend the moments that matters....

i don't know when we will had such craziness again... after we left our separate ways

i miss you guys now ...

Zoo Frenz Forever ...

i am so fucking emotional right now... my eyes is so swollen now...

I LOVE YOU GUYS

Happy Chinese New Year....

I wish everyone will be happy in this year to come ....

jump together to the future as this is the beginning not the end

Luv,

Adventurous Bangkok 2011

Woo hoo !! just came back from Bangkok a few days ago

and now i am already blogging about it...

well this time the trip was hell lot more Adventurous then my previous trip...

so stay tuned for the cover up of the story...

well here how it goes....

this i went with a bunch of animals from the zoo solely as our team is called the "zoo frenz"

we stayed in the Pratunam area again which is in the Ratchaprasong Shopping District...

that means Shopping, shopping and shopping is the main idea...

Pratunam Area

shopping in Bangkok, visiting Platinum Mall is a MUST of course...

platinum provides the latest Fashion following trends from Korea, Taiwan and Japan with the cheapest price in retail form...

t-shirts priced from 60 baht - 110 baht per piece if bought 3 piece and above

bags as cheaps as 199 baht

Platinum is so fun it has accesories, clothes for both men and women, under garments, shoes, arts and crafts, and many many more...

too make things worse ... Platinum Mall now have a new wing....

3 Cheers for it "hip hip hurray, hip hip hurray, hip hip hurray"

means more choices ...

this time around we decided to be more adventurous as it might be our last trip together as a team before we graduate.

we took the train from Bangkok's Hua Lam Phong station back to Penang's Butterworth station, Malaysia

Hua Lam Phong station

its a 1 day 1 night train ride... its bumpy and crazy...

my 1st time ever i experience such awkwardness as i drank too much cultured milk Betagen so i end with up nature calling in the train...

the train toilet bowl is so disgusting as they dispose your shit right in to the train tracks....

i was so awkward to have shit there !!! when it stops in a station i had to hold my shit back because i was afraid my you know what will be smelly in the railway station...

Going there was by plane reached then we took the public bus...

was very different from Malaysia's as they charge for air condition and non air condition differently... but our budgeted journey has resulted for us to take the non air conditioned bus

May happily taking pictures of Gacky and Boon

Bus ticket

we checked in to Citin Pratunam Hotel this time...

happily posing in front of the hotel

comfortable with better TV station as not every station is in Thai...

got nice bed... cool room service thingy and we a free thuk thuk service out to the main road

but the only thing that i am not very happy with is the shower....

the water keep changing from super hot to icy cold at random...

Thuk thuk ride was fun as we had to cramped 8 people into one thuk thuk...

funny... dangerous... yet adventurous....

super adventurous ride on an over cramped thuk thuk

We went to Bangkok's famous Erawan Shrine...

this Shrine is famous until famous celebrities from around the world travel here to pay homage to Lord Erawan....

its located in the Chitlom area nearby Gaysorn and Central World

Lord Erawan resides here

Central World (after the riot and the bombing or burning, they rebuilt it but it don't as nice as before already but partially of the mall is yet to be rebuilt)

Gaysorn with branded goods inside....

Chatuchak weekend market is not forgotten in this trip...

Chatuchak is filled tonnes of things to shop... anything you can think of can be found here....

getting to chatuchak won't be difficult if you take the BTS and stop at Mo Chit station...

you can see Chatuchak right out from the window of the sky train on the left hand side....

Chatuchak weekend market

BTS Sky train

Tickets to Mo Chit

but this time our visit to Chatuchak was not a very happy trip....

my dear friend Jean Cui got pick-pocketed from stupid low-life damn....

her money, her ID, passport everything and even my other friend Chili's passport which was being guarded by her got stolen by that good for nothing thief....

after the incident we rush to the nearest police department which end up to be a Tourist Police (PS: a tourist police that don't speak English... so does that help the tourist ?)

with my mere shallow Thai they directed us to another station just right outside the market...

but to no avail its close...

so we ask for directions to the nearest Police station... they directed us to another small police station which turns out to be a traffic police monitoring station ...

so they can't do anything so they directed us to the Bang Sue district police station...

but what the hell ?

i ask the police he said it was not far but the truth is the stupid station is freaking far....

its in another freaking district for crying out loud....

our legs almost fell off apart...

Due to the weekends... we have to wait until monday for the Malaysian Embassy to be open...

so we got no time to waste but to continue shopping....

but on the sunday we were "lucky" the red shirt protest started around 5pm Malaysian time...

making a massive havoc in the traffic...

causing the whole road to be congested... malls were forced to shut down forcing us out into the streets... Chili was freaked out she kept saying don't go take pictures hahahaha

i was like a dare devil go in front to take a close look too bad that day i did not bring my DSLR out...

if not the pictures would be in better quality

the start of the protest

by night fall the whole road met a stalemate

but due to the danger that might occur we were force to go back to our hotel....

have to wait until the next day to the embassy...

went to the Malaysian Embassy early in the morning....

but loosing your passport in another country was heck lot of things to do....

need to lodge a report in the local police station...

take passport size pictures, translate your report to english and their language by authorities with valid chop so its certified.... the photocopy it...

then report to the embassy... with all the things needed

then they will interview you....

after that they will ask you to pay then issue u a new temporary passport

the temporary passport issue by the embassy

after that you need to take the passport to the local immigration for the authority to chop certified it then fax it back to the embassy...

but this steps takes times as all the locations are located in north south east west.... far far and faraway from each other...

it took us from 8.30 am until 5 pm to finish everything and travel back to Ratchaprasong District....

The Thai immigration... its so huge and looks something like Putrajaya

but was lucky we did it and finally Jean Cui and Chili has an identity back...

as we were told alot of people sold their passport for money as the fetch a good price in 3rd world countries... so interview is needed....

but due this problem we had extended our stay in Bangkok making it a full 1 week

Siam Square is not forgotten in our shopping trip...

but this time around theres new places in Siam Square....

like a place which sell digital stuffs and a bonanza mall is up, theres another big huge mall, opposite there is MBK, Siam Center, Siam Paragon and Siam Discovery....

that time around Jang Guen Suk is there for a visit which makes May gone mad ! keep wanting to see him live....

Siam Square is having a major renovations 2 major road has been in construction wonder what are they building maybe more malls for shopping hehehe....

Siam BTS station

Day View of Siam Square

night view of Siam Square

during our last few days Bao's debit credit card has problem due to the amount in her account was missing.... but the hotel said they has not charge it...

but after so many misunderstandings they found out that the problem is with debit card can't accepts refund like credit card ...

in order to refund it they need to deposit the money...

so problem solved....

after 7 days of shopping this is what i got

it was really a very adventurous 8 days.....

tears from sadness and guilt.....

joy from shopping, friendship and togetherness.....

lost of passport and money......

found of credit balance back in the card.....

and not forgetting one thing precious gain....

is a memory of our precious friendship together before we leave our university life in our separate ways.... we wont know what the future holds until our path cross once again....

i am really feeling not good at all this few days...

so many things in my mind....

but still sharing is caring .... here is my story

Luv,
