Is it wrong to chase after an out of the ordinary dream? I'm kinda attracted to the life of being a celebrity. Is it very wrong to want this things? Don't get me wrong, dear brothers and sisters. The truth is, I don't feel that it is wrong, but I'm rather insecure about the thought.
I'm not the prettiest or anything. I don't see myself as a beauty or a talent that I can be successful in the industry and most importantly, I thought of the things that I have to give up. The risk I have to take. Should I give it a try? I had never developed any passion for anything till this pops up. My head's so full of maybes that my heart shouts out, "Dang it! Just do it!" haha. Should I just follow my heart?
Argh! Bloody heart and mind! I'm getting a migrain over this thing!

Pi Li Mit
MIT10_rmvb_003808156.jpg)
I was just looking through my previous posts and I found that there were plenty of irrelevant things I could blog about.
My mom always said that I'm wasting my time watching drama series online. True because it's hard to stop and continue another time, but the thing is she always caught me doing that when I finally had the time to do so! How ridiculous is that!
My sis says that I watch stupid stuff, but oh, like she don't chase after Xiah Junsu all around the Net! I'm not trying to pinpoint anything but it just suck when you are not acknowledge and accepted for being different, especially by your own family. I don't think that being different is an angst. To me it's an adventure, a discovery to be made. Why should we be the same when God made us different? Otherwise, we'll be robots if we are the same, right? Anyway, I've said too much. Now onto the main thing.
I've finished watching another drama ages ago. Pi Li M.I.T. It's about a group of students headed by a teacher - like a club, an investigation club. They call themselves Pi Li M.I.T (Mysterious Incredible Terminator).
The drama started with Zhan Shi De (starring Aaron Yan-Fei Lun Hai) who has just transferred to Sheng Ying School and was recruited into Pi Li M.I.T because of his reputation in crime solving. He's a bit like Shinichi Kudou of Detective Conan. His father is a crime novel writer (I'm not sure what they call) and Shi De was a known prodigy is crime solving and a lone ranger because of his medical condition. He refused to join at first but was slowly woven into involvement and became committed into the group. He was given a pseudo name, 007.
It would be a bit boring, of course, if not for plenty of cute scenes, such as his scenes with his heroin, Gui Gui who starred as Li Xiao Xing. Her pseudo name was Tian Mo Xing (Lucifer). Her peculiar and cute character, innocence and vulnerability captured the heart of Shi De and another M.I.T member, 747. Thus, a love triangular was form and many heart warming and funny scenes appeared.
There were series mysterious crimes and events happened within the school and began exposing some very humiliating and dark scandals of the school. The M.I.T sets out to protect the school by solving crimes and mysteries. However, every time they come close to catching the culprit, he escaped living behind a clue, a piece of a puzzle every time.
It's a very heart warming and some what funny drama, filled with suspense in every case. It's definitely one of the better idol cast dramas I've seen.

Comprehension
Lately,
I've been happy,
I've been sad,
I've been disappointed.
But today thinking back the past weeks,
I wondered why,
I've asked 'how come?',
I've said 'What a joke!'
Life's like this.
One moment you are fine,
The next you are grumpy.
At first you are happy,
And then you are angry.
It's amazing how God made us,
The same yet different,
One with the creation,
But set apart from them.
Today,
I've once again comprehend
What I've always known
It is wonderful how God speaks to us
I've been happy,
I've been sad,
I've been disappointed.

I've Moved! My First 2 days in Selayang
Date: 2/10/09, Friday.
Today I’ve shifted to Selayang and officially a 'Kepong geng'. Haha… It was a tiring day and I’m absolutely grateful that Jen Ruw, Wen Cheong, and Jim were able to help out. Thanks to their help, we have managed the biggest pain of the moving process – the furniture, over and gonna shift slowly the small baggage from tomorrow onwards. We have a thank you dinner at Suzi’s Corner at the end of the day. What a great day!
Date: 3/10/09, Saturday
Good Morning, Sunshine! ...or maybe raindrops. The first morning that greeted me was a rainy morning. But the damp weather feels perfectly refreshing to me. Mylo was still a little jittering but I suppose us being here helps to calm him down. Well moments later, Sam and I are going down to load things from Cheras up before youth meeting. It’s Floorball today!
Tonight’s highlight would be Potluck with the family at our new place. As of now our house is still not complete, many things the contractor couldn’t install without us shifting in. No matter, it is a great start off!

The Dating Poll, Dating 101: Guys Who Don't Get the 2nd Date
I came across an article today that intrigued me. Personally, I have an experience myself (I'm not trying to brag at all). It made me laugh a little but I pity those guys too. So here it is.
"It's a cat and mouse game; puppy dogs don't win." Let me explain.
As a dating coach and matchmaker, I've spent the past 10 years conducting some unconventional dating research using a business concept called "Exit Interviews." While earning my MBA degree at Harvard Business School, I learned how candid exit interviews from an employee leaving his company can reveal crucial feedback, empowering managers to get something right next time with future clients and employees. So I thought: why not try this tactic in the dating world?
The Dating Poll
In one poll, I asked over 100 single women to confess the real reasons they didn't accept a second date with a man. My goal was to help men discover simple mistakes or misperceptions which they could adjust next time with someone new. The women I interviewed came from 23 states and 6 countries, with ages ranging from 21 to 68. Five top reasons emerged strong and consistent, but what was the number-one turnoff? Did it have something to do with the shortcomings of the bad boys, men afraid of commitment, or guys who were too short, bald, potbellied, or unemployed? Not at all. Here, single women define the men they dated who don't make it for a second round of courtship.
The Puppy Dog
Betsy, a 50-year-old lawyer in Seattle, mused about a guy she dated who reminded her of that "Sex and the City" episode when Carrie was dating Aidan and complained about how he was too available: He didn't do the ever-seductive withholding dance or make her stomach flip. Betsy admitted, "The early stage of dating is just one big game, whether we like it or not. It's a cat and mouse game; puppy dogs don't win."
The Incessant Flatterer
Emily, a 39-year-old writer from Boston, said about one man, "Eagerness can be flattering, but this felt a little desperate... it became annoying. Also, because it was a first date, [I think] it had more to do with a fantasy about me, than me." Hillary, a 35-year-old magazine editor from New York, NY, remarked, "I went out with him in the first place because he was so complimentary to me. I thought I should give him a chance. Normally I like a man who doesn't play games, but the flattery really became overkill." Karen, a 28-year-old health care consultant in Madison, WI, sighed, "He looked like a sad puppy when I said goodnight."
The Edgeless Man
Women complained in droves about single men who reminded them of puppies. These guys followed them around and were too eager to please. Men who were "too nice" often appeared desperate or weak. They didn't have an "edge." And their "gushing" early emails with excessive flattery were a turnoff.
The Over-Gusher
Liz, a 41-year-old language translator from Sherman Oaks, CA, told me about the guy who sent such effusive emails after they met that she "was disappointed to receive them." She said, "I wanted the polite, even enthusiastic thank-you along with a compliment or two, but not the over-gush. I guess I wanted him to maintain a little mystery." Jenna, a 33-year-old graphic designer in Miami, FL, commented: "He was too nice, too transparent... he didn't intrigue me."
The Sweetie
Emma, a 25-year-old advertising associate in London, described a guy she could have "walked all over." And Shannon, a 38-year-old accountant from Cincinnati, remembered declining a third date with a too-nice guy who came to her office after she got promoted. He spent hours organizing her files and brought her an expensive "congratulations" plant. She said, "He was so good on paper, and I guess I'd call him 'sweet,' but he didn't have an edge."
Do Nice Guys Finish Last?
As these confessions poured in, I worried whether the old adage "Nice guys finish last" could actually be true. I hoped not, because I personally love "nice guys" (I even married one! And after 16 happy years, let me offer this endorsement: nice guys are the only ones who stand the test of time). But as I spoke to women in more detail, they clarified what they really meant, and I felt reassured. It's not that women don't want a "nice guy" (they absolutely do when they are in a marriage-minded mode!), but rather guys should simply monitor the quantity of their effusive compliments and sweet gestures. Like most things in life, a little bit of a good thing goes a long way, but too much is overwhelming and usually a turnoff.

I'M BACK!!!
Boo...hoo! Haven't got the chance to update for 5/6 weeks, but now I'm back! For now...haha...
Let's see...where to start...
Ah! Early March I've got a new job! Yay! But it...an accounting job (sob). Well, not the whole set, only the book-keeping part. Then, a number of you in church would have already known this. I get to go to Singapore! My first "business trip"! However, this is also the first time I've been away from home practically alone.
Today, I've got half a burden gone! It's mid term assessment again. I've finished the presentation part but not the report! Argk! Time to brood myself over lengthy journals and thick dictionary. And I can't exactly turn to anyone cause I totally don't have the luxury to do so.
And I want to watch 'The Race to the Witch Mountain'....!!!!!!!!! *WAILLL.......!!!!!!!!!!*
