Who Am I

RULES: Write a poem with a minimum of 8 lines, each starting with I am.

I am working as a daughter, a sister and a friend
I am not getting paid, no, I will not pretend

I am a dreamer, a learner and I pray
I am going to make a difference in this world someday

I am funky, fresh and creative
I am not musically-inclined, I don't know what's an octave

I am hoping you have now got a clue
I am Sue and this is only a preview

-Hor Sue Xian, the potential poet whom Googled for rhyming words.

No, I did not do this just cause I wanted to grow up to be a poet and yes, I did this because I was forced to and yes, I had to present it in front of class and so did everyone else in my class. Not to shabby for a newbie, ayy?

Today was pretty darn inspiring. I watched 5 videos that got my brain tick tocking. Yay for brain productivity!

Present like Steve Jobs
The way powerpoint presentations should be.

MOTIVATED, check.

PS: this 500 paged psychology book is interesting. Fingers crossed on this book being my first cover to cover book read that does not involve school. Technically, it is. It's the psycho book for AUSMAT but I do not take Psychology as a subject so I am in no way obligated to read this but heck, the MIND is a funny thing.

CNY 2011

Shazammmm! This Chinese new year has been a real different one for me.

For one, my income took an incredible dip this year, probably the lowest amount collected ever in my 17 years and 5 months on planet Earth. I guess Taylor Swift was right, I'm not the only one getting old, my relatives are too! Second great depression?

On a brighter moon side, I got to spend time with the people who matter in my life. Chor 0 and chor 1 were spent with mommy's side getting high on cookies, lame Chinese comedies and traditional dishes such as this cabbage with fan si dish. Oh, and my small minions/nephews/nieces were finally old enough to dabble with fireworks. Chor 2 was spent with bald high school mates, dead car battery and gold diggers. Oh, not forgetting scrumptious BBQ for dinner. Following days were spent at Penang with dad's side, catching up on life and getting ultra pissed off at the worst 4 starred hotel in the world. Gawsh. Today was spent with college mates, pai lin-ing and getting bored off paranormal activity.

Food-wise, I never ate this much in my life. It was a toss up of yee sang, Japanese buffet, bbq lamb beef chicken, cookies and biscuits, Penang delicacies (laksa, har mee, curry mee, ice cream ice kacang, sotong bakar, ...). I was averaging on 6 meals a day. UNTIL..... my stomach couldn't take all the crap I've been pushing in and tadah, I puked it all out. Oh, what a sight. If you actually look at it from another perspective, I don't get fat. HAHAHAHAH.

In terms of photography-ness, I got lazy. I hate being lazy, especially when it comes to taking photos. Not only that, my pictures are getting crappier by the day, which in turn makes me uber demotivated. My chinese new year resolution would be : get up on my butt and take stunning pictures. I CAN DO IT I CAN DO IT JUST DO IT. Hypeeeeeeee!

Oh, I guess this is it.

Time to ace college, internal assessments are starting!

Brandon!

This is Alvena. We have a too many mutual friends, it's starting to get disgusting. She was supposed to teach me Maths but I ended up teaching her my fake maths. Sigh, so much for being my Maths tutor!



That is my sausage and that dude is Roshan aka lotion. He is annoyingly tall and nobody likes to walk beside him. We feel intimidated!



This is Brandon, the birthday boy / cheerleader. So maybe I'm not the only one who looks underaged HAHAHAHHA. I indirectly made him fall down today =( extra birthday present?
He is so cute he made a birthday speech and almost cried HAHAHAHAH, just cause we've only known him for about 2-3 weeks and we're already celebrating birthdays and buying cakes and presents!



These are my lunch buddies, the closest people I know in college, yay. We talk as if we've known each other for ages but reality is, I've only known this bunch for about 2 weeks.



That's Cheryl the blusher, Charis the girl from primary school, Alvena the Indonesian maid, Li Ean the girl from KDU that speaks super innocent, Sarah the extremely daring girl who likes to follow my dares and Hui Wen the person I steal friends from.

Hmm, I'm not so lonely after all, ey?

can't wait for nice food and nice moneh!
