It was an assignment-packed period and no, I did not throw a party or whatsoever like most of the people that celebrate their 21st birthday.
Another reason is, I think it's a day where we have to appreciate our parents especially mother for giving birth and nurturing us to what we are today.Hence, there's no tradition in my family where we must throw a birthday party.
Yet, I was grateful to have a pre-birthday celebration by my food partner: JKie for a dinner buffet at Suki-ya, Pavillion KL.
Thank you JKie! ^^
On my birthday, my classmates and sisters had a surprise for me during the interval of our class.
I was so touched because it was really a busy week for us meeting the assignments' deadlines & presentation...
Thank you SEn & Bethany! ♥
Also, a self-decorated cake by my cousie: Nigel!
Took me 3 days to finish it.. haha
Thank you dear ♥
And and, special thanks to EYi for coming all the way and send me the birthday present to my doorstep..!
Aiks... Can't get to see you after so long even though you came due to my absence at home that time...
Oh yes, thanks a lot to my orchestra mates for have a post-celebration after the orchestra practice!
The multi-language and repeated birthday song led by XSheng was indeed, amusing... xD
Thank you Jac, YSing, XSheng, LYun, Jamin, Roy, Vincent N! :)
Last but not least, thanks mum for the lovely present
♥ you loads~
Anyway, thank you again to all of my lovely friends (yes, including those who wished me be it on phone or the 300+ FB wishes)!!
Appreciate it lots~ ♥

White Vengeance/ Hong Men Yan is a Chinese historic film directed by Daniel Lee, starring Liu YiFei, Feng ShaoFeng, Leon Lai, Zhang HanYu, Jordan Chan, Anthony Wong etc.
Undeniably with the interesting plot & actors + actresses that don't disappoint, I like this movie!
It's my 1st movie after my last movie that I had in July, yeah, few months ago.
In fact, I've watched this twice!
Both cantonese & mandarin version. Haha...
It's a 2 hours 17 minutes movie.
Well, you might get a bit bored at the beginning but trust me it's getting more exciting & thought-provoking as the story goes on.
The malay audience sitting at the front row even clapped when the movie ends!
I watched it at the first time with my friends and we find it amusing when Yu Ji & Xiang Yu get together at such short moment.
Yeah, on the same day they just got to know each other and the next thing is, they promised to be with each other forever.
Our first reaction at the cinema was "what? so fast?!"
Haha...
The loyalty between Liu Bang & Fan Kuai as well as the love between Xiang Yu & Yu Ji was very touching.
Jordan Chan did a good job on interpreting the Fan Kuai character I must say.
And, the way Zhang Liang aided Liu Bang in circumventing Xiang Yu was interesting.
However, the ending was rather saddening, quite similar with the ending of Curse of The Golden Flower.
Honestly, though it's a historic film, I'd prefer if there's a happy ending.
LOL
I dislike story with sad ending :(
Anyway, Liu YiFei is still so pretty without much make-up :D

It's 3 months + of semester break after my finals!
I was watching Storm Warriors 2 (yeah, I know I'm out-dated but this is the latest version of Storm Raider atm!).
Uh...
You can call me couch potato.. >.<''
It was such a luxury, laying on the sofa or chair and watch movies & dramas for me!
Guess what, I used to be a drama fanatic til I was so fully-occupied with all kinds of stuff and I had to refrain myself for keeping in touch with the screens~

And, received an unexpected call from my sis & bro to ask me out and yamcha..
Haha.. In fact, I just came back from there and now blogging...
It was such an excited one I must admit..
Teehee...
Nope, this wasn't taken just now :P
We miss our leader cum bro, OMH!!!
p/s: this was taken during our Cameron Highlands 2010 trip by my lousy hp cam ♥
Can't wait for our next outing...!
Till then...
XOXO

Woke up early in the morning and then spent half of my day at my student's house to polish his piano skills...
It was the longest polishing session that I've did so far!
And, received this from his mum in return which I wouldn't expect at all....
Thank you Mrs. Chong...
Umm... Hopefully everything can be done by the submission day...
By the way, Happy Thanks Giving Day readers! ♥

Finally replied with an "OK" after rejecting numerous invitations from my dear cousin. (I don't mean it seriously but life has been so busy... >.<'')
Indeed, we're staying very close to each other (closer than you'd think of!)
It was a super random yumcha just after I went for a super filling dinner with my food partner.
2nd round of dinner?
Nah, I should stop giving in to my gigantic appetite. LOL!
Hmm... It was like few years back then when we last had face-to-face chat.
we're kinda portraying this story, aren't we? haha...

I'm back to blogging after these hectic weeks!
Guess what, I'm still alive after this 4 days of 2 assignments due, 1 test, 1 quiz & 1 performance! :D
Falls on 16
September, it’s a memorable and significant day for fellow Malaysians!
Taylor’s University
Symphony Orchestra has performed for 2 songs in the early celebration of
Malaysia Day organized by Taylor’s University in collaboration with Christian
Fellowship singing as the choir.
We are lucky to have a friend of mine, also a Malaysia renowed composer, arranger, orchestrator and music lecturer, Ken Hor to orchestrate 1Malaysia song for us this time.
I’ve knew him few years back then and at last, I’ve got to play his work! Hahaha…
We only manage to practice not more than 3 times before the actual day. Yeah, this is none other than our hectic schedule (we are not full-time music students!).
Yet, we made it in such short time!
It’s not a perfect performance yet but there’s always room for improvement J
our clarinets and flutes~
umm.. just realized that were quite a lot of male strings players
The audiences...
letter of exemption from class for us.. (yeah, some of us need to sacrifice our class hour)
Uh oh, there’s a part that you shouldn’t miss in 1Malaysia song: duet improvisation by our very own members – SHang the violinist and Eric Kok the tenor saxophonist!
Umm.. This will be the last time playing with Shang before he’s off to UK.
We will miss you!
You’re mostly welcomed to play with us when you are back to Malaysia ;)
Sunny just told that he will come back during his holiday in end of this year! whee~
And and, Malcolm, our drummer/ bass guitarist who’s graduating very soon told me that he’ll retire after this performance…
Aw.. this is so saddening and I hope he was just joking… @.@
Anyway, best of luck to Malcolm on his FHM band competition!
strings section
brass section
woodwind section
(where are the clarinetists? o.O)
flutists and cellists
I like this photo very much.. portrays everyone's natural expression with a smile on our face! :)
Group photo with Christian Fellowship & emcees of the day! :)
Of course,
thank you very much to my friends: Nigel, Faris, Wan, CErn, CYip & KLun from
Sunway Unversity College, UiTM, KLPac Symphonic Band & Segi University
College for being the guest players of this event!
Such a
great time to play with you guys again J
Lastly,
special thanks to Kit Shen for capturing the memorable moments!
Awesome
photos posted above credited to him!
members of student council
I hope this orchestra will continue to grow stronger and be a point of rendezvous for music enthusiasts in Taylor's University to play music together! ♥
Yes, free of politics & conflicts but ONLY MUSIC! ♥
Together Everyone Achieves More~!
Cheerio~
It was 2
consecutive days of outing during raya holiday with my dearest Morianz after months of not meeting!
Special
thanks to MHua for organizing it J
Though we
can’t get all the Morianz to come, yet it’s just heartwarming to meet some of
them before they have to back to their respective university at respective
state…
Yes, we had few rounds of Monopoly card game and finally… I’ve won MHua and Khew at the very first round!

Yeah, at
last! Muahahaha…
You never
know how many rounds that I’ve lost in the previous games with them during
previous outings… /.\
this domo-kun is so big and weighty!
Oh yeah, I
was so surprised to have Shir to pick me up and guess what, she was driving her
father’s new big car!
I can’t
even handle a relatively small car ._.
On the next
day, we went for Karaoke session at Cheras Selatan.
Unfortunately, it was fully-booked that we’ve decided to headed down to Neway which is just next to Cheras Leisure Mall.

I’ve got to
spend my time with KHeng before she has to back to Penang…
Thinking
back, it was few months ago since my last sing K session!
I don’t
really like to sing but it was fun to have it once in a while with Morianz :D
And and… I
was so lucky to have KHeng drove me home!
Gosh… These days have sorta motivated me to polish up my driving skills and get my hands on the car!!

Seriously,
I dislike driving but the truth is… I really have to hone my skills before
everything is too late.
Give me a
lil bit of time to overcome this.
Aw..
Mentioning about driving, I just realized that my P license is ready to be
taken off!
HAHAHA [-___-!l]

Still waiting for more photos from Khew from his galaxy tab!!!

It's 1 week of holiday thanks to Hari Raya & National Day!
Minus time for assignments and preparation for quizzes, I managed to go for Bookfest @ Malaysia yesterday!
And yesh, update my blog! xD
Uh oh, I'm not working for Bookfest this year.. hehe
It was kind of hilarious when the Popular staff actually told me "Miss, it's free entrance for 18 and below." when I was going to pay at the ticket counter with my cash on hand.
I was stunned at first but she repeated it again. ROFL
Of course, I smiled and made the payment :)
RM2.50 inclusive of 2 Bookfest Catalogues & wrist tag for 18 and above!
There are many books that I wish to get but thinking of the leisure time I left... so I think maybe getting it next year? @.@
Don't ask me how much did I spend on these
night view of Petronas Twin Tower~
Anyhow, will be going for second round, tomorrow!! :)

2 days concert tour on 9th - 10th Aug 2011 by Asian Youth Orchestra in Dewan Filharmonik Petronas, KLCC, Malaysia was a concert that music enthusiasts wouldn't want to miss it.
It was an 8:30pm show but THooi, JJie & I left our campus at around 5pm considering the traffic will be congested.
Yeah, I even skipped my entrepreneurship lecture as not to be late for the concert >.<
[actually it wasn't planned earlier to skip the lesson but the new schedule was out at the very last minute in which I really can't change my routine]
Even so, we reached KLCC at 7 something.
I can't imagine if I were to go after my lecture which means I will definitely late or even miss the whole concert!
We were planning to take our time and have a nice dinner initially but all the restaurants and even food court were fully-occupied!
Yeah, it was the hour where Muslims were about to 'buka puasa' and that was peak dinner hour :x
We went around the floors to hunt for nice food and yet, plan phailed.
At last, we decided to wait for our turn to be seated at Sushi King.
There were not much time left when the foods were served and we were sort of gobbled the food.
Then, there was a long queue of customers who wanna pay for the bills, which including us -_-
We dashed to the philharmonic hall after that.
Glad that I wasn't wearing high heels! xD
We were just so in time that we manage to get in to the hall around 10 seconds just before the show started!
The most interesting part was definitely the astonishing performances by AYO conducted by Richard Pontzious featuring Stefan Jackiw the violin soloist.
Admitting that I was really lethargic on that day but I was so alert when the music begun.
I just can't take my eyes and ears off of them!
Here's the repertoire of the day:
Symphony No. 1 by Prokofiev
Introduction & Rondo Capriccioso by Saint-Saens
Carmen Fantasy by Sarasate
Symphony No. 4 by Tchaikovsky
There was an impromptu violin solo by Stefan Jackiw playing Nocturne in C Sharp Minor by Chopin!
Whee~
The fascinating concert adjourned by a big round of applause from the audiences for more than 10 mins!
I can feel the numbness on my hands after clapping for such a long period.
Haha...
Oh yes, we got to bump into quite a number of musicians as well as music lovers friends of us during the concert!
It was so delighting to meet my ex-KLPac SB conductor Bruce Lee again :)
Finally, I've got to see the famous vocalist & choir teacher Mr. Ian Lim in real!
hahaha
Well, bump into Winston in this concert reminded me of his graduation recital invitation which I've yearn to go.
It's rather sad that I can't turn up for it since it clashes with my new time table ='(
Notwithstanding, all the very best Winston and I know it will be definitely a great recital!
2011/2012 Season Catalogue! :D
Thinking back, everything was just so rush yesterday even though we did departed earlier. lol!
Anyhow, we were considered quite lucky as the road was not as congested as expected, we found the car park easily, and we manage to enter the hall at the eleventh hour!
What's more, we got to be seated by the attendant at the second last row which has better acoustic and view rather than the seats that we have bought. muahahaha!
As for me, I got to have a copy of the Narnia Orginal Soundtrack that I've spotted in THooi's car. ahahahaha...
Finally, I'd like to thanks MKuan & THooi for the joyous day :)
