Don't you think that happy moments tend to come too shortly? And when it's here, life tends to take it away too quickly?
But probably it is due to the brief and split durations that people tend to appreciate and remember those moments more. It's also perhaps that those moments have shorter lifespans so to encourage people to seek more of it. And if those moments come too often, people tend to forget and neglect the meaning of the moments. People would tend to take advantage of those moments and disregard the people that have given and shared the same moments. They tend to miss the point of those moments and just let them pass by.
However, it is miraculous and puzzling that it is also because of those moments that keeps people sane when they are facing their downs and blue moments. It is amazing that people tend to be stronger when dealing with their difficulties by reminiscing their significant and divine moments. It is those moments that carry them through and to push them to survive through their tough and complicated moments...
For me, it is not how much of those sweet moments that I can have, but how significant and appreciative those moments are what counts! It can be happy moments in a jiffy day, it could also be worthy moments of split seconds! But it is during THAT particular moment that gives you the vibe and the undescripable emotions that makes it all worthwhile no matter how short the moments last... It is also how you bottle up those emotions and moments that will be carried throughout your lives...
Okay okay, am I showing signs of emo-ism? haha. I'll cut on the long winded post and go straight to picture-momento times... Most of em are catch-ups before their farewells...

Good Charlotte - Dance Floor Anthem (I Don't Wanna Be In Love)
She’s going out to forget they were together All that time he was taking her for granted She wants to see if there’s more than he gave she’s looking for
He calls her up He’s trippin' on the phone now He doesn’t want her out there And alone now He knows she’s movin' it Knows she’s using it Now he’s losing it She don’t care
Everybody put up your hands Say I don’t wanna be in love I don’t wanna be in love feel the beat now If you’ve got nothing left Say I don’t wanna be in love I don’t wanna be in love Back it up now You’ve got a reason to live Say I don’t wanna be in love I don’t wanna be in love Feelin' good now Don’t be afraid to get down Say I don’t wanna be in love I don’t wanna be in love
He was always giving her attention Working hard to buy the things she mentioned He was dedicated By most suckers hated That girl was fine But she didn’t appreciate him
She calls him up She’s tripping on the phone now He had to get up And he ain’t comin' home now He’s tryin' to forget her That’s how we come with him When he first met her When they first got together
Everybody put up your hands Say I don’t wanna be in love I don’t wanna be in love [Dance Floor Anthem lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]
feel the beat now If you got nothing left Say I don’t wanna be in love I don’t wanna be in love Back it up now You got a reason to live Say I don’t wanna be in love I don’t wanna be in love Feelin' good now Don’t be afraid to get down Say I don’t wanna be in love I don’t wanna be in love
To the beat (x3) You got nothing to lose Don’t be afraid to get down
We break up It’s something that we do now Everyone has got to do it sometime It’s okay, let it go Get out there and find someone
It’s too late to be trippin' on the phone here Get off the wire You know everything is good here Stop what you’re doin' You don’t wanna ruin The chance that you got to find a new one
Everybody put up your hands Say I don’t wanna be in love I don’t wanna be in love feel the beat now If you got nothing left Say I don’t wanna be in love I don’t wanna be in love Back it up now You got a reason to live Say I don’t wanna be in love I don’t wanna be in love Feelin' good now Don’t be afraid to get down Say I don’t wanna be in love I don’t wanna be in love
Now you know what to do, so come on feelin' good...
Haha. Despite that I like this song, just wanna clarify that it's not that I don't wanna be in love. Just find that this song has its meaning there. As in, sometimes you find it unfair that sometimes someone has a gf/bf that is more worthy than he/she deserves... or that, the bf/gf would only care and notice more about the other half due to the fear of losing the other half when the other half is caring lesser compared to before. And that although it may seem like this song makes it sound so easy to move on when you break up, it is actually what a person has got to do when it happens! Well, eventually lar... haha.
Anyway... that is not what I intended to blog about. But I just had to go excited when I was hearing this song and just mention a lil on it..
Chimuiz Gathering & Kim's Farewell
Okay. Some would be surprised to see this, but yup... after a long period of 'bout 2 yrs, we're finally gathered all together again! Yup, all 7 of us! Oh, for those who are clueless bout the 'chimuiz', it was a group of good girlfriends come together when I was in Taylors Business School for Foundation. Haha. Don't ask me why 'chimuiz', it was just something that came about from some of our mutual friends at that time. Unknowingly how and still figuring till now, but we 7 girls from 3 different classes somehow clicked and started hanging out together. But as some has already known, there were some disputes and misunderstandings here and there which then resulted to the breakup of the group. Nope, don't ask me 'bout it! It's already buried in the past and to the ground! Besides that, it was also due to the fact that some of us were transfering to different universities that made us lost contact.
And so, finally... just last Monday, we've all manage to come together again before one of us leave for Sydney. Honestly, at first I was afraid that things would be different after not meeting up like this for so long, but then my doubts was all gone when all of us easily settle into the comfort zone by gossiping and also updating each other. Our table was UNDENIABLY the noisiest table in Chillies! Haha. We once laughed so loud that the other tables all looked at us and we still couldn't stop our giggles. Miss those times with them...
Can you guess who's the one leaving for Sydney? From left: Joanne, Me, Licia, Kim, Rach, Veron, Chelle
Yup, her! The ever-over-excited char boh... Kimberly!
The UTS bestfriends... Kim & Rach
The-only-unforgetful-one-who-brought-a-camera-Veron and Kim
Ssg-ian Me & Rach
At the airport the next day...
It is unbelievable that Kim only gotten her visa on the day of her departure!!! But luckily she got it, or not her parents will be enjoying Sydney first before her! Haha.
Kim & her generous-&-nice-parents who spent us Eden for dinner... It was surely an expensive farewell dinner!
And when we started to bid farewell & get emo... *i know we have nice butts, so ignore them!! haha*
Our last group photo before Kim's dad hurried her...
The bigger group photo
And there she goes with her Levis & Gucci... haha
And she was still shouting towards us on the way down 'wanna cry d!!!'... aww...
And us who couldn't resist camwhoring for the last time that night...
Jia Ling... we're gonna miss you here! Take good care of yourself there and don't get lost, k!! Haha. We're gonna miss someone to be kaypoh with and the phrase 'eh... listen to me first' and 'see... she wants to steal my limelight again!'. Aww... just gonna miss you lar! And girls... we must meet up outside for casual talk, yum cha sessions, or whatever la besides meeting up in clubs! Seriously! xoxo.
Am currently working part time for Sony in Times Square as their Bluetooth Ambassador. Woish. Sounds so class and up-ranked, right? Aih. But my job is more or less like a surveyer, asking customers their opinions on the newly launched bluetooth audio system and also like a promoter, but a bluetooth-specialized promoter. So, anyone who wants a bluetooth stereo or bluetooth transmitter or bluetooth headsets, u know who to look for la harrrrrr..... RITEEEEE??
Oh, and funny impressions from my newly-befriended colleagues... their first impression of me is that i seem like a fierce, cool marketing person!! Hahahaha. and they thought that I was sent by the headquarters to check on them! Haha. Not bad, right? Just a Bluetooth Ambassador but they thought of me as someone of higher rank! Hmmm... means I have potential in my future career la. Haha. Since I'll be doing Marketing for the rest of my life. So, might as well act like it, right?
Although today was only my first day in the job, but my colleagues are a friendly and helpful bunch. On and on, I would go asking them stuff that I don't know when customers ask me. Gosh. So much to learn. Hmm.. but overall, not a bad job... All i have to do is to introduce the products and to chat with customers. Lol. But the setback is that I have to stand for 9 hours!!!
This is my 2nd week of break d! Aih. Means I'll only have 1 more week of relaxation left (besides 9 hours every weekends of work la) and then I'll be back in Uni d!! So fast! So fast! But this time, it'll be in the new campus. Haha. Can't wait to check out the new environment. Hmm... Okay la. My pitiful legs numbed d! Now have to pamper them first. Hehe.
This post's title is just a random heading, reflecting my URGE for COFFEE right this moment!! I admit, I'm officially a COFFEEADDICT, an AVIDCOFFEE DRINKER, a COFFEE LOVER! Can't seem to start my day without one now...
Anyway, that's not the main intention of my post to talk bout my coffee infatuation, but the main purpose is to dedicate this to both my MI and DI (aka momMI and dadDI)! Lol.
JUNE 13TH was my MI's birthday, but we didn't get to celebrate as she wasn't feeling well that day. Pity her to be sick on her very big day! And so sorry for owing her a present, except for only getting Alexis's Tiramisu cake (which is the BESTTiramisu I've tasted) for her. But i bet she is used to her daughter's habit of disconnecting with the world when her exams are near, and that includes distanting from her family and will only be GLUED to books (well, ATTEMPTS to be glued to books la.. lol). And, of course, I'll make it up to her when my exams are over!
Oh, that picture doesn't give my MI the justice, and forgive that the picture seems to be an old picture, cuz I've lost all recent pictures due to the kong HARDISK!! Didn't manage to back the pictures up and now, my desktop has been reformatted! Hence, PICTURES = GONE!!
And today..... is DADDY'S DAY!! Happy Father's Day to all DIs out there! My DI was being so understanding, knowing that I have exams TOMORROW, and all he required for today was only a self-cooked BREAKFAST by my sis and I. But there's a catch to it, cuz he wants it to be ready by 8AM. haha. Yes, it meant we had to wake up early today to prepare for him, but.... it's all worth it!! Noticed I've not really done anything for him, and all he wants from me is just knowing to think for myself..
Unclear why, but the aroma of roasted has always enhances the serenity and composure in me... Having to start the day with coffee, it gives me the satisfaction in the morning and somehow the psychological perception that it'll be a good start for the day. And now, I can't live without coffee to kickstart the day, and it'll feel as though there's something that I've not yet accomplished. It has become a habit of mine to at least have a dosage of coffee a day, no matter in what form the caffeine comes in...
But today, roasted coffee makes me tremble and somehow uncertain... it gives me the shudder that even I myself cannot explain... it's just a weird feeling.....
Can't believe I'm missing Ben-nation and sitting in Starbucks instead!! Life's unfair at times... Why does good things like raves and sales and Benny Benassi and sales always come before the important academic dates? Why??!!!
Currently listening to: I Love My Sex By Benny Benassi
When it was dealing with assignments, there was Starbucks.... Now, LIBRARY?
Gonna have my examination in a week's time... and have been surprisingly obedient 'hanging out' in the library for the past 2 weeks! Sigh. See what Monash has done to me??? haha. Hm, can't wait for the 2 weeks to pass and then i'll have a breather for 2 weeks!! Ahhh...
Anyways, just wanna wish those who are having exams BEST OF LUCK and those who are ALREADY ON THEIR BREAK to have more fun cuz you won't know when you'll be doing that the next time!
Currently listening to: Umbrella By Rihanna (Ft Jay-Z)
What if you needed help and noone is willing to give it to you?
*WARNING!* This is a serious post. This is shocking yet painfully true. It is sad to know that such a thing is happening in our society and that people can be so selfish in times like this.
Would you help an old lady when you see her lying down, struggling to get herself to sit upright? And that you could see her hands gripping the handle of the chair tightly, indicating that she's trying so hard to do so but yet she is helpless and does not have the ability to sit upright herself?
Would you help an old lady when you see her vomiting? Like, SERIOUSLY THROWING UP? Knowing that vomiting is a signal of unwell, especially when it comes to old people, would you make the initiative to dial for ambulance? Okay, if dialing for ambulance is so hard, would you assist her to sit upright or maybe offer her some paper napkin to clean herself up? Or even just act as if you care and want to do something bout it?
Well, that was exactly what happened! We were in McD and at first, noone went to her rescue. You'd be thinking that the workers of McD would be the first to act during that situation, but NO! They have the heart to continue with what they were doing and IGNORE that poor lady! And they only acted to it when they were yelled at from the only lady customer who went on and helped the old lady. And the customers there, they were just sitting there and looking. JUST LOOKING. some even shifted table after it happens!
That incident got me thinking... How would you feel, knowing that even a small help from you might be able to save that old lady, but yet... you are not doing anything about it? How would you feel if you are in that old lady's shoes? How is it that you will feel if you just sat there and witness and not acting on it, and... she dies? Would you think of yourself as an indirect murderer? How is it that most people in this case would have the attitude of 'i won't be able to do much to help the lady, so might as well I just see how it goes'?
Well, as for me, I felt awfully bad. Yes, I was one of those selfish witnesses there that didn't do anything at all to save her. I didn't know how I could help her at that time. And I could come up with the excuse of not reacting in the situation as I am a person who's terrified to see people vomiting, as it'll cause me to vomit myself. But then, the excuse doesn't give justice to why I just sat there, feeling helpless... and not doing anything bout it. And in the end, i figured that it was cause I was putting myself as priority first comparing to the poor lady... I felt terribly guilty and bad after that!!!
I remember what Yeing said after the incident and its something like 'people may seem kind and all, but when it comes to needing help for something disgusting like this, people will be minding their own business'. It hurts to agree with it, but it's the truth!
I figured that one more reason to why people is this ignorant is that they have not been taught of handling emergencies like this and that they're not trained to react to these situations. People not knowing what to do will choose not to do anything.
After yesterday's incident and the guilt, I VOWED that I wouldn't cross my arms and not do anything if I'm to witness another emergency! The least I would do is to call the police, or ambulance or fire brigade! And shout for help!
And hereby, I'd like to respect and show gratitude to those who are brave and selfless enough to help victims in need! Although she'll never bump into my blog, but I'd like to say a big THANK YOU and salute to the brave lady who helped the old woman! She was the hero of the day and I shall make her my emergency-idol! And also to Yeing, who was courageous to offer her help and I admire for her alertness. You rock, girl! Muahx.

Just find that this song has its meaning there. As in, sometimes you find it unfair that sometimes someone has a gf/bf that is more worthy than he/she deserves... or that, the bf/gf would only care and notice more about the other half due to the fear of losing the other half when the other half is caring lesser compared to before. And that although it may seem like this song makes it sound so easy to move on when you break up, it is actually what a person has got to do when it happens! Well, eventually lar... haha.
