2012!

2012-01-20T02:15:00.002+08:00

Tiffany Chiam is here wishing everyone a happy new year 2012! May this new year brings a good prosperous and health to everyone out there~ It is now 2012!!! Anything you guys wanted to tell me but haven't, please do so before the end of the world 2012!! kiddingssss~ hahaha.

It has been months since i last blogged. I wanted to update my blog but due to some privacy issues, i decided to cool up my blog for a while. Let's get some topics to talk about.

It's 2012 now in the year of dragon. I was born in the year of dragon and there is this "fan tai sui" thingy. This is sad. I thought people born in the year of dragon should be happy because it's their year! But what? It totally spoilt when something is just going not in your way.

I was driving back home the other day listening to radio and there was this horoscope topic. I'm not superstitious anyway, but just curious in knowing things. Normally i just listen and just that. What the radio dj mentioned, he said those whom were born in the year of dragon believes to have challenges in terms of studying or working in this year.

And what? I have already felt the challenges with my study. During the past semesters, there was this crappy lecturer i really really hate about. I told myself this is my last semester and no freaking way i will ever take his course anymore! Thank god my last 2 core courses weren't taught by him when i got my timetable. However, for last week during my registration of tutorial on one of the courses, i get to know that crappy lecturer is giving tutorial for 1 time slot given 3 slot, each student to fill in 1 slot. Of course I will not register for that crappy lecturer but there's opportunity cost. If i choose other time, i shall stay hostel and if i choose his time i do not have to stay hostel. In the end i choose to stay at hostel purposely for that tutorial done by the other lecturer.

"Accept what you can't change and change what you can't accept." I used to really like this quote. I can't accept that crappy lecturer and so i made a change for my tutorial. So smart that's me.

Finally something changed and i just get to know that crappy lecturer is taking over my tutorial time slot. SADDD! It is too late the other slot is full i couldn't change to other time. And what's worse, that crappy lecturer will be giving some lectures for my course maybe for half of the semester! Dammmnnnn!

In the end, you can't accept and you can't change. You still need to face him for the last semester. Stupid quote that is.

Just the beginning of the year, i can now felt the sense of challenge for my studies. What to say for my coming days... ...

It's April!

Good Evening guys... how is everyone doing? I haven't been updating this blog for a while. But yea, i'm updating now. hehe

This semester has been a busy one. Assignment, or is it assignments??? adding up with tests! short tests!! I promised myself to make notes for every of my courses. But I didn't manage to do all notes for my courses. =( My lecturer can finish off 1 topic with just 1 hour. But i need more than 2 hours to finish my notes for just 1 topic!!! My lecturers have been lecturing like rocket flying..

This semester seems to be very short due to cny holidays, public holidays, semester break and so on... And it's ending soon!!! Time flies.. My previous post mentioned about hostel with no internet life. I got used to it! I don't even have much time online at hostel. I usually online at the hostel lobby/reading room when meeting up with my group members to discuss about assignments. I did online at night for a while using my friend's modem when i was about to sleep.

Semester's ending soon. And so my working life gonna start very soon! I'll be working at Lee corporate house at Kb for this coming end of may to end of july as a work attachment from UBD. This company has been ... hmm... not gonna say much about this company.. But I'm currently dealing with my work permit to this company. Hope everything run smoothly.

Recently, I used to think that I have a so so ok ok vitamins for my body. But however, last few weeks I just checked my body vitamin with this "biophoto something something scanner". It's available at nuskin company at bandar mata mata, next to traders inn. My results came out to be, out of 50 000, i only obtained 17 000. 50 000 indicates rich vitamins in your body. I'm currently in red zone!!! Poor vitamins can leads to dead or damage cells. With either of these dead or damage cells, you will either become aging early or higher chance of getting cancer. Or is it getting cancer? I don't remember what the booklet says. And i lost it! But it's something bad to your health, cancer or what dunno... hahahha.

Anyway, i'm gonna stop here for now. Takecare guys.. ;)

Advance Chinese New year to my Readers out there.. How's my readers doing lately? Anyone missing out my post? keke..

Let's get some update about this Tiffany Chiam. Oh.. Let's talk about my results. The previous post i mentioned about when will my results out and it's out a day after the post. How's my results so far? Sadly, there's a little decline.. The previous sem i have B overall and now dropped a little to C+ . So sad.. Maybe i guess the courses are getting harder and harder.. I couldn't imagine this semester, there are courses like corporate law, advance corporate reporting, auditing... How should i survive? The names are already scary!!!

This semester i have a deal with my friend to do notes after every lectures... But what? CNY is around the corner... Neither me nor her has the mood to do notes?? That's sad... I did do some notes during the lecture, note down what he/she had taught. But it's messy... ... Anyway, I will improve further in notes writing.. gambateh Tiffany!!!

Did any of you experience everything expire within the month? January is such a bad month... My student pass expired in the month of january, and so do my IC. And there goes so coincidence, my driving license which valid for 3 years has came to its maturity date... Oh goshhh!!! .. I couldn't get to renew my driving license because of my IC. And so I have to renew my student pass and after that, do IC!!! .. Do you know how troublesome it is??? Altogether the procedures took like 2 - 3 weeks.. I couldn't drive for the pass weeks. But thank god, i have just settled everything.. Just got my license done last week. And what comes to worst? My broadband too barred.. I bought my macbook together with the dst plan and the broadband plan is valid for i don't know how many years. And 2 months ago, it has expired that i didn't know till this month it's barred... My family doesn't plan to continue it since i have e-speed at home. But the e-speed is like sh*T!!! No broadband in hostel... Can i survive? Yes, i can... STUDY!!! hehehe

Have you guys prepared for CNY? I just went to miri today and the que is like... O.O .. When i was on the journey to miri, i queued up 2 km away from custom... Can you imagine 2 kM?!! And on the way back to brunei at night, the queue started at miri tow the place where you pay rm10 per entry. Wow... but anyway, i have got all the stuffs i wanted. I found a red cloth for my cny first day.. hehehe.

Till here now... =)

Happy New year to all my readers... May this 2011 brings more joy and happiness.. =)

How was new year going on everyone? I spent my new year eve watching piranha at home.. fish killer.. ;S

Time flies.. It's january now 2011. Just a blink of an eye, uni gonna reopen soon. I'm currently enjoying my tv life at home, as last month i was at miri working. I don't have much time left for dramas... These 2 days i have been busy watching dramas and movies till I feel like headache from too much series.. haha. I still have 1 week left.. no.. less than 1 week before uni reopen.

Less than 1 week before uni reopen, and I'm still waiting for my results!!! Should i be nervous? or relax?? Yesterday was monday, I felt nervous as everyone said monday results out... But ended up tunggu langsat... What about today??? The whole afternoon... I stick with my series/dramas.. not switching facebook for news nor even msn.. I don't remember if i signed in msn. Maybe there is.. haha. But still, result's not out... What about tomorrow? tomorrow will be wednesday. Will results out on Wednesday?? What's the probability results out tomorrow? Let's get back to our mathematics. Probability results out tomorrow, out or not out. 50:50? 50%? correct or not???

I wonder why, I felt hungry every night. Supper is fattening... Cook mee is even worst off... Maybe i always had 50% full for dinner? That's why i always look for food at night!!! lol.. Just now I look through the refrigerator and made a dessert for my family. Normally people make Honeydew sago, in chinese it is Mi gua xi mi lu. It's a very nice dessert. But i couldn't find any Honeydew sago instead i found some leftover papaya!!! Look for recipe from the net and got myself papaya xi mi lu... I never make any honeydew/papaya xi mi lu before, i cooked the sago, and ran everything into the pot and let it boil. Felt so happy i have made it, my mum came over to see what i have done... And she say... "Why do you boil everything?? have you ever eaten "hot" xi mi lu before??? In restaurant they are served cold!!! " LOL...

The correct way should be, cook the sago, and add it in to milk with sugar syrup, and then lastly add in cut papayas.. Just like that... how easy...

With my super hot papaya sago, it tastes not bad actually... But I leave it cool first then add some ice.. and It's done!! hehe.

merry christmas!!

2010-12-24T00:50:00.004+08:00

Good evening my readers! It's christmas eve now... I'm here wishing all my readers Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year...

How's christmas eve going? Time flies... I didn't realize it's christmas eve now till yesterday morning i saw somebody's facebook comment about christmas eve tomorrow.. We are quitting later.. Going back to Brunei later afternoon or evening. How's business going on? I would say marketing and strategic planning is very important in business success.

What I have learnt, what kind of business you open related to the kind of customer you will attract. Just like opposite my shop there opened a new dessert shop, with a varieties of desserts available, nice interior and exterior designs as well as with air conditioned. They attract rich customers.... There were times i was sitting in my shop, spotting luxury cars like mercs, bmw, camry, lexus and so forth, they parked next to my shop and walked in to the dessert shop. These are Miri cars, with malaysia car plate. Miri people with these kind of cars can say like... they are very rich... Or should i say they are like bruneians keep spend spend and spend like there's no tomorrow? I found those rich aunties too, with branded bags and clothes, hair blew up till high like the mountain...! hahaha...

What about my cafe? What customers do we attract? Most of our customers drive like atos, proton cars, and so forth. Our customers are all very stingy people. Not all i suppose, maybe some are generous. I remembered there was an uncle came and ask the price of our leftover half stream chicken. I said RM 10 for half portion. That uncle gave a smelly face said, " what?? so expensive???! the next next shop only sell RM 16 or RM 17 for whole chicken and we sell RM10 for half portion so costly!!!" I still remember his smelly face!!! hahaha. He wants discount but we insist with our current price. My mum just went to ask the market price of steam chicken, and there goes rm 20+ for whole chicken ... and my brother said to me, " got RM 18!!!! that is years back!!"

What kind of business you do really attract what kind of customers... Our customers are mostly low income earners, while the dessert shop's customers are medium or high income. Or maybe it's still fresh i guess? My dad said, who would eat desserts everyday? It depends ... Just like kokoberry shop, taiwan ice shops, as well as shiki sushi restaurant, they are all located at our areas, and they closed down!!! Just few months away i see they are opened, and i wanted to try the taiwan ice and now??? Can you feel the creepiness which shop would be next??? My friend told me she heart shiki sushi restaurant moved... i'm not sure tho.. hopefully..

That's all i guess for now... It's very late and i gotta sleep now.. Goodnights !! ;)

好人難做

2010-12-19T03:13:00.000+08:00

I was driving the other day listening to radio, and they came up with this topic “好人難做” . And I totally agreed with it. Don't you think so? There are so many people around us. There are the good ones and the bad ones. How do you face them? The good ones that will be alright just be good to them too. People said how they treat you that's how you treat them back. If they treat you bad or terrible, would you be bad to them too? If you treat them good, they would take advantages... What should the 好人 do?

According to the radio, “好人”will always be ranked below the “坏人”. This is because good people don't like challenges, they don't really strive in order to achieve something. They think that if it's yours, it will come to you one day. The good people tend to give way and this gives the bad people opportunities. “坏人”will strive until end and never give up for something he/she wants. For example, if "好人" being a manager and "坏人" is an employee. 坏人 will set the manager as a target in order to takeover his/her position. The manager doesn't set target and sees everyone as one. If "坏人" is a manager and "好人" an employee, the 坏人 will observe everyone carefully and demolish those who could influence him.

What the radio suggest us to be? If we become “好人”, we tend to be bullied by the “坏人”. Be a good person or a bad person? Some people thinks that good people will receive good retribution. Is that so? If it is true, when will you receive good retribution? Until you get old?
I'm not sure what the radio said, if you don't want to be bullied, and don't want to be too harsh. Then it would be better to be "好的贱人" . It means like from outside you treat people nicely, people think you're a good person but internally you're opposite. You observe analyze everything and plan them nicely and kick them out when the time comes?

I think this kind of person is the worst. But this kind of person success most of the time. 好人 is soooo hard to be. Let's learn how to be harsh... =)

Let's get back to my miri life. Lunch time is the most busiest hours, and there's time we are lack of employees and those. Last 2 days i was helping up and guess what? One customer order 1 steamchicken rice, he want drumstick. I told my maid and ask her to cut the chicken, but nobody is free at that time, people order ABC, rojak. End up??? I cut the chicken!!!

It's very simple rite... Use the knife and "dork dork dork" . My first time ever cutting chicken... It's a very funny experience... Can you imagine a lady cutting chicken? It's like very ... what do you call that.. haha .. Normally drumstick side from thien thien, how many pieces can they cut? At first i cut it very nice, I cut the drumstick into 3 pieces. I didn't get to take pictures.. My maid said I cut till too big... 1 more chop from me... and the drumstick goes... ...

Can't think about it and fast fast spray the source over and pass it to customer...

My mum's bak kut teh is getting famous very soon... I got a nice bak kut teh picture and make my menus, I stick it at the shop and the next day there goes 9 bowls of bak kut teh out!!! There is this sentence 人靠衣饰. Everyone judge a book by its cover..

Claypot mee and claypot rice are coming very soon at Li Da Hua Cafe! =)

Hmmm

2010-12-14T17:42:00.005+08:00

Greetings to my readers, how's life going everyone? I went back to brunei for visit 2 days ago and now back to miri life.

I was in a newspaper when i sit for the proficiency test. Wonder if anyone read the newspaper and spotted me? I think no... hahaha.. They only snap picture from behind.

Spot spot me??? Very easy ahhh... the brightest hair colour.. LOLL

Ohh... Remember my nerdyy spec i had years back or blogged it years back?? Should i always recall back what i have blogged? So you guys get to read my previous post.. ho ho ho.. My nerdy spec finally rest in peace.. sob sob.. It broke down since last week when i was playing with my niece and my sister thrown it away when i bought my new spec.. sniff sniff.. i still miss my nerdy spec..

Here goes my new spec.. I heard today's trend is half frame and i got myself half frame glasses. I never bought a half frame spec before cause i used to think it looks old. But anyway, it doesn't look as bad i guess... The shape is more or less like my old glasses.." mo di sun yi" ? lol. haha

My mind is so blank now what should i write??? Anything my readers wish to hear from me??

Happy Holidays...!

2010-12-07T16:27:00.002+08:00

Happy Holiday to my readers... Finally my exams are over and it's time to relax~ And it's time to update my ongoing to my readers too! I know i still have loyal readers.. ;)

My last exam was on sunday, ubd last exam was actually on saturday poor me have to sit for exam on a beautiful sunday. The exam on sunday was actually from outside, i took the japanese proficiency test. Hope I could get good grades... Was stressing myself on a saturday night.. poor poor poor me.

And what's the poorest? at first i thought i can get to japan after my sunday exam cos they fly on monday. Sigh~ now what? greet them have a safe flight and enjoy their trip.. sniff sniff~

And guess what? I forgot to eat my lunch after my exam on sunday, come back kb, rest a while, pack stuffs and head to miri. Completely forgotten about my lunch till i reach miri at ard 5+ or 6 and my stomach starts to drum. Anyone has the same experience as me? LOL. It's so funny how can you forget bout your lunch...

I'm currently at miri helping up my mum and sister to jaga shop. Should i say jaga shop? or mess it up? Yesterday i serving customers order food and drinks. I ask them what do they want to drink. I didn't know my dad sell sea coconut drink here. One customer asked me do you have what "hai di ye" , i thought it was those like fresh coconut drink, and I don't see any coconuts here, thus i say don't have. And the customer frowned and wonder why got the poster at the wall and he order other drink. I didn't know what poster he was mentioning about till the next day i saw people order sea coconut ping, it's actually not those fresh coconuts but those like juice and add water. And there's poster sticking on the wall too. LOL.

My dad's shop is lack of chef, my mum and sister want to take advantage of this one month to promote, provide economic food and stuffs. It's a holiday for me and my sister.. my sister is a teacher and that's why she's having holidays when students are too. We sell bak kut teh too! It's done by my mum. She's a great chef. haha. And the bak kut teh only sell for one month!!! Come come try it out.. At Li da HUa cafe, near boulevard, next next to hongkong duck restaurant. If you still don't get it, just call me.. my number is ... ... ... haha. pm me lol. ;p

Till here i guess, to friends whom are still studying or work already, i know today is a public holiday.. enjoy to the max pals.. ;)

Sigh~

2010-11-07T12:48:00.003+08:00

Hello my beloved readers,

Just a short update about myself, i just realised i haven't been blogging since the start of this semester. And this semester is going to end really soon! Exams are coming. I guess my coursemates should be busy studying as well as completing their assignments as soon as possible. Same goes to me too! Revision week are coming in just 1 week time! And there goes the exam time~

Time is running like water.. I wish time could slow down for me to get revision done... I really really really want a good concentration for my studies...

I have been forcing myself not to think about anything else but to study! study!
I used to be an optimistic person. I never want to judge anything or anyone till i see it with my own eyes. But nevertheless, things always don't go to the way i want it to be. What to do... There's nothing i can do... Life's still goes on..

What's life? We live life through ups and down. If we always live life with happiness, life wouldnt be challenging aint it? Recently i was enough down. And what makes it worst off? My japanese teacher had been giving me hope that all the advance japanese students are entitle for this japan trip in this coming december. My first impression is like ...

" What? all advance students? true or not? I'm a foreigner, is brunei really that good to allow me for this trip with FREE foods and accomodation??? " My teacher again add up, " Doesn't matter if you're not a Brunei PR, as long as you're UBD students, you are qualify for this trip"

I have a bit "xin tong" .. i get to japan.. so happy.. But on the other hand i have a feeling things wouldn't go that easy... So i didn't give much expectation about this trip. As time goes by, my teacher keep mentioning about this trip and till i get the application form and time meeting up, i really tot this japan trip is really coming, my trip to japan is a step nearer!

And what? the happiest moment always receive a disappointment news. Brunei would never provide benefits to foreigners!!! What to say, i stayed in Brunei for more than 20 years!!!

Sigh~ That is what call life i guess...
Just work harder next time and buy a ticket to japan with my own money...

cakes, "ex" house

2010-07-26T00:49:00.007+08:00

August? NO.. Let's see what i've been doing for this month. I just got back from miri today. I stayed there for like 10 days awaiting for my sister's delivery. But sadly the baby haven't come out yet. I have things to complete for this week and so i gotta get back to brunei and settle my stuffs. Hostel lists were out and my name was highlighted that they want to see me. What could it be other than me haven't been paying any hostel fees since last sem? After completion I could get back to miri if there's nothing for me to do in Brunei.

Last week I took a cake course learning about curry puff, durian cheesecake as well as swiss roll. Now i know how to make swiss roll with the mable effect on top. Curry puff is the hardest. The master taught me about something like croissant that they have thousand of layers in it. It's tedious that you have to flip and flop and roll it for many times.

Today the course is about cheese tarts, egg tarts, fruit tarts, hazelnut dark converture and lastly green tea mousse cake. I like the green tea cake and their halzelnut dark converture, it's a dark chocolate but sadly the ingredients are quite expensive. Cannot always make.

These are blueberry cheese tarts. They taste really nice. I went to daily bread cake house cafe at the airport road there, their blueberry cheese tarts with the same look as above but not sure about the taste cost RM3.00 per piece. Now i can bake or even sell it to them? haha.

On the way making fruit tarts... ^^

And here goes the ready fruit tarts. Looks cool...

And this green tea mousse cake with red bean inside. I will try it someday.

For the past few days, my mum, sister, niece and me got bored about shopping. There's no where else to go besides parkson, imperial, boulevard. We stay upstair my dad's kopitiam. It was just opened for like 3 months. Come in and have a tea if you guys like it. We provide you with wifi free and there're some finger foods for u to order. If you like, we have kolo mee, fried dry or wet mee/ kue tiaw, as well as rice are available here too. It's just located somewhere near boulevard, very near to fratini or dermalogical. And next to 100 yen , a japanese shop. "Li Da Hua Cafe" , any familiar you been there for a tea or even passed by?

The room we stayed only has a table, chair as well as some mattress. There's nothing to do inside the room besides sleeping and so we went out everyday. Sick of shopping and my sister could hardly walk due to her pregnancy. And therefore we drove here and there in the car enjoy miri's scenery. We got a flicked back my dad bought a house 10+ years ago and had sold it. We wonder how it looks like now, by just a very tiny memory of the house and location, we found it finally.. And it rots like what..

10 years ago it was very new.And now 10 years later due to "熱帶雨林 " ...

Till now i guess. I have a lot to write but i'm getting sleeping. I will rest now. Nites to my readers.. =)

July

2010-07-02T00:07:00.003+08:00

Hello everyone! It's now the 1st of july. No. It's the 2nd of July! Less than 1 more month to Uni reopen? Why time passes so fast? Just a flick back, and the holiday has already been 2 months now??? Time passes really really fast. Hope it goes slowly... don't wanna go back uni so fast... Don't wanna face exams, assignments...

I'm currently at Miri AGAIN!. Last week i too stayed at miri for 2 days because we thought that my sister is going to give birth soon due to her stomache. However, it was a false alarm. Consider a false alarm? but she did admitted to the hospital for 2 days.

Now and again she has got her stomache back and admitted to the hospital. I guess my baby niece boy is very very excited and can't wait to see the new world. No no... should be can't wait to see her "yi yi" . hehehe. But so sad, he's not coming out so soon yet. Please be patient my baby niece boy...

My night life was boring here. I'm with my mum and niece girl, no going out till late late, no movies or dramas cause i don't feel like watching it with my tiny monitor. But out from day time to night, tired while i'm back. By the way, my niece can call "yi yi" already instead of "ma ma" .

My results were out. Remember the last previous post i said i hadn't had any improvements. My overall was "C" all the way from semester 1 to semester 3. But at this semester, I obtained a "B" for my overall. Kinda satisfied. A BBBB CC . It would be better if next semester i could get rid of "C" . Anyway, must show some improvements!

Guess i stop now and gonna wake earlier tomorrow. Nights everyone! =)

Another "..." haha!

2010-06-07T01:17:00.002+08:00

Wow... I didn't know I still have loyal readers. That is just so great...! You guys are the best! =D

UBD life has been getting busier and busier but who cares, I am now enjoying my summer break? That is 3 months holiday! Should fully utilize it.

A lot of things happened recently, I was kinda moody and thinking a lot lately. I wanted to express myself, my own feelings but I do not have the courage to publish it. Published but take it back. Couldn't find a way to private that particular post end up leaving it as a draft.

Any idea why I have been staying single all these while? I also wondered. Do I have any personal issues? Am I a failure to hold a guy's heart? Actually I failed in opening my eyes big big enough to look at the boys. Blame the god, why they want me to stay lonely all the time??? I am not strong actually, i am very weak... Just blame myself in choosing such playful guys or flirty type. After so many failures, I no longer have the confidence in relationships. It really hurts a lot.

What comes to worst ... ... I felt like losing a best friend. But i hope i think too much...

OK enough with the sad part.

I made tiramisu cheesecake again. And it's really improving! That is soooo great! =D

Tiramisu cheesecake by Yen's secret recipe, my tiramisu is very different from bakery store, or even secret recipe (I only tried secret recipe lol), any other place i'm not sure. Any idea which bakery store has nice tiramisu? I wanna try it out!

Recently I have joined the japanese speech contest. The contest will be held during september. But i joined it doesn't mean my teacher would choose me for the contest. I still have no confidence that she would choose me, there are so many pros out there. Still a very long way to go. But in these period of time I need to draft out and meet up with my japanese teacher for proof readings. My main objective in this contest is to improve my japanese oral. My oral has been terrible, i remembered last sem oral i kept hesitate... Next semester will be going into advance level... So...

Oh! Another thing I nearly missed out. Last month or last few weeks I joined a singing competition. But i failed it already. Now I realized there are a lot to learn especially in singing. Having a great voice is not enough, but skills are very important. Check it out at e-huawang.com for my song. =)

Happy CNY 2010

2010-02-17T11:19:00.003+08:00

I'm here to wish everyone a happy chinese new year. Hope everyone had a great time there. Wish you guys a healthy and prosperous year ahead. It's day 4 of CNY now... and know what... i haven't started gambling... blackjack blackjack... i miss blackjack... Most of my friends are good people and that's why they don't gamble... =P I wonder what people do during cny if they don't gamble? gambling can actually kill time while have some fun. There's a group i was following. They were all good people, everyone watch tv while visiting on friend's house and they were soooooo concentrating on it. I cannot tahannnn..

CNY seems getting quiet. Presentation and assignments are celebrating chinese new year with me too. Presentation on chu 5 this coming thursday, i could postpone it to next week actually, but... i scared i would be busier sooner... =/

There was something funny and i wanna share it here. Yesterday was chu 3, my mum cooked some food and invited my relatives over for lunch. It was just a small gathering with relatives.... as time goes by, my brother's friends came. A bunch and a bunch, my dad's friend came too and eventually it became open house. I was busy studying at home and everyone said me so hardworking. haha. I only get to know we have a mini open house when my elder brother put the blame me for not informing him about our open house where he gone off pai nien after work and came back home when it's nearly ended. I was like... " got open house meh?"

Anyway, that's all i guess. Just a short update from me. Pictures... too lazy to upload. Just get to my facebook for pictures... =)

A whole New year!

2010-01-09T12:52:00.003+08:00

Happy new year guys... It's the beginning of year 2010, hope everyone has a better year ahead. Life was good. Sleep most of the day and feeling blur everyday.

Holiday again! hike, food and... ops...

2009-12-09T21:47:00.005+08:00

It's another holiday again! I have finally finished my exams and starting to enjoy my holidays. What has everyone been doing lately? Do I still have any loyal readers around? There sure has a few somewhere... Don't get disappointed to visit here during my holidays... I don't think I ever missed blogging during holidays? Just... I don't think I would post like everyday ? It seems boring to share what I have done on the same thing for almost everyday.

In the month of december, it is a traveling period. Lots of people are traveling this month or even had travelled nor soon to travel. My brothers and sister are so enjoying their life. One to singapore, another to kl, coming to kk ... How about me? I will just be sitting around in the corner, staring at them, waving to say goodbye and safe flight to their trip. How pity... But never mind, Brunei is not bad as well... I drove around in Miri just now. This time, I wasn't accompanied by my parents nor siblings. After sending my sis and bro in law to airport, it's all my world now. Of cos, I brought emily for company if not everyone would be worried of me at miri. xp Felt so good I can drive independently in Miri because I could get to the journey i want and never get lost. hoho!

I wasn't afraid of the cars in Miri but motorcycle. They were so dangerous slipping here and there and never even make signals when they wanted to turn from fast to slow lane or slow to fast lane. I guess most of the car drivers took 100% attention on motorcycles.

Although holiday is a great time to relax and rest, don't forget to do exercises to keep your body fit! Before my semester break, I had been hiking at shahbandar once every week at bandar. The first week can't get used to our stamina, and challenge 5 mountains. Second week we challenge 7 mountains! Actually I think 7 mountains wasn't as hectic as 5 mountains. Because 5 mountains ran through lots of steps. I would recommend 7. As time passes by, eager for more. 9 mountains!

This is the place where you gonna pass through if you decide to climb for 9 mountains. I didn't get to finish 9 but 8. We skipped one mountain through a shortcut. Everyone gets tired i guess. Anyway, the most important we must stick together with each other and not to leave anyone far far behind. There was once during hike, we lose one of our group members.. especially when he was the leader! He was behind us and got lost. We were so worried if he got tripped, slipped or even fell down, instead he used other road and meet us up in front.

And... never leave your handphone behind at car or anywhere because if you got lose, it wouldn't be the end of the world. You still can call up bomba for help. After that incident, I brought my hp along with me. I wanted to challenge 11 mountains... sooner or later? It was super tiring, but worth with the excitement...

Am I seeming a bit long gas tonight? Write more when I only blog once a while. =P

I had high tea at miri secret recipe today. It was a great one... By purchasing a slice of cake and get a coffee or tea for free! i had tiramisu and flat white. Although the cake was sweet but it matches the coffee and melt the cake all over my mouth... wow... haha

Sorry for the blurry pictures taken by my lousy camera phone. It could be the most precious one whenever nobody had a camera for pictures... 2 cakes, one belongs to tiramisu and another chocolate fudge. Cake is just ok because tiramisu only cream with cake and no mascarpone cheese nor any cheese lol... but matches the coffee... Any cakes with coffee is da best! The cake only RM 6.50 for this big slice!

Something's not going right? What the hell happened to my hair... !

Essay break time!

2009-10-11T13:53:00.002+08:00

Another new post here, I should be doing my assignment and why am I here blogging? Let's have some break after finishing my... how many words have i done? 72 out of 3000 words essay! hehe. I just done with the first paragraph, or maybe no. Some more sentences to be added but really lazy to think about it. It's just due next monday. Enough timing? sup sup lo... haha as if really enough time?

There's something about me to share. Even though I start early with my essay writing, i will never finish my essay early. I will wait until the very last minute? I wonder why... I might afraid that I have some points that I have missed out. So i don't really dare to finish up essay, especially a 3k words essay in just one day time. Finish early, enjoy early?

What happened to the world lately? What happened to Brunei lately? Firstly, it all started with the burning of forest and the hazy weather with all the haze to be found especially in kb and seria. After the haze thingy, Brunei start to black out. This black out was different from last time. I felt really really hot compare to last time. Luckily not most part of the area black out, during the power off in my area, there was electric current in town and so there's an escape from this hotness at home. After the blackout incident? the heavy rain and strong wave in offshore. And so on?

I mentioned about no bed in my previous post rite? Great news my bed arrived after that post. Will there be a possibility they came to read my blog and so provide me a bed? hehe. And the bad news, not used to the bed in the room, and I got knocked here and there. Bruises appeared around my knee. Haha! Probably the bed is not good enough, they should mold the edges so i won't get knocked off. Why people complain here and there. Because humans have unlimited wants and never satisfied? It's normal for me to get knocked actually. Just accept the fact that why am I being so clumsy.

And there's one more thing, why are there so many troublesome people around? Where do they came from anyway? Whenever i ask the boys if they want to give their wife work after married. Some of them would answer no because they want their wife to enjoy life, they can do shopping whenever they want. If not catch some tea and chill with friends. What if they are bored with the shopping mall in Brunei. People can get fade up with shopping very soon. What if friends do not have the time to chill and chat with. What can they do? Housewife is not always a good job, what if their child grew up, or whenever they don;t have kids to take care yet. Some people like to find troubles. Should say, the troublemaker. Because they are too bored of their perfect life and want to add some arguments with the people around. This is the time where "san gu liu po" arise, gossiping around. Anyway, this do not apply to every housewife, just certain people around.

The world is never peaceful with these troublemakers...

Gosh! gotta continue my essay!

Mid semester break 2009.

2009-09-24T11:51:00.005+08:00

It's another holiday again! This is my mid semester break. Sadly the holiday only last for 1 week time. My timetable is getting more and more free, but workload is getting higher and higher. Presentations and assignments are really killing me. I'm looking forward for my next holiday, december probably.

Hostel life is getting not bad. There were times where me and my hostel mates get together and have some cook. We had lots of steamboat together, with fish ball, wantan, hotdogs, crab meat as well as tanghoon. We did cook spaghetti , but it doesn't as nice as how pizza hut and capers but can compete with cheeze box. haha! Oh, and not to forget shaperd pie, claypot rice as well as tuna burger. These are the best food ever in hostel!

There is a bad new about my room. The government's working process are really really slow. Hostel is currently incurred with lack of bed. And sadly, I am the unluckily ones to have chosen a room without a bed. They just provide me with a mattress and pillow on the floor. I have been staying in that room for about 3 months time, but the bed haven't even arrived!!! I complained it again before i left for the mid semester break, they said they have ordered it, the first round has arrived but not enough to give out. So there would have a second round. I hope when i get back from my holiday, i could see a bed in my room. But I have a feeling i might sleep on the floor for the rest of the year.

The pictures below are the last few pictures i could take from my phone camera. My camera application is now no longer working. After my camera's incident, i accidentally dropped my phone really really hard till the screen appeared with scratches. And the scratches are getting bigger and bigger each day. I gonna get a phone sooner or later...

These are the clay pot rice we had at hostel. It was done by debbie. Don't just see the black black colour, it's the best clay pot rice, even better than the one my mum made.

Anyone interested in doing business? I went to this talk at holiday lodge hotel, it's the guideline to lead you to the direction of success. By selling Amway product, you can reach the target of early retirement, and enjoying life with the family. If you want to success, first of all, you have to think big, and dream big. So you can reach that target!

The last picture i manage to get from my w800i.

I think i gained weight. With lots of ramadhan buffet around, my mum even said i look meaty now.

random stuffs

2009-07-13T02:49:00.002+08:00

Good Morning everyone! A short update from me before i go to bed. I have several ideas on what to blog days ago but when it came to writing, everything gone blank. Ahhh... Let's talk about H1N1. Did anyone taken good care of their health? H1N1 is getting really serious in Brunei. What's the current situation? More than 250 cases incurred? And 1 died. But don't be panic if any of you catch the virus, this sickness got cure. I wonder if sars got any cure?

Compare between H1N1 and MJ died, which has the hotter news?

Holiday makes me getting lazier and lazier each day. But I only able to sleep this long hours during holiday. I love holidays! Sad news... It's ending real soon... Left 3 more weeks to uni reopen? 3 weeks passes really fast. And back to hostel in 3 more weeks time? stay inside a hot room without any good food like nuggets, fries. My dad bought me an air cooler, hopefully i would live cooler during the next sem. No no... The lists to hostel haven't even come out. I'm not accepted to stay at hostel yet. Hoping hostel don't want me? And i rent outside? lol. no no... Not a good idea. If i stay outside, i couldn't wake later to uni. And all the friends are in hostel. So hope hostel wants me. I don't have any bad records. Just that i didn't get to attend much of their activities... Last sem i attended once? or twice? sigh...

I'm getting hungry. Supper every night! Supper is always the best time ever before getting to bed. But its kind of fattening? Doesn't matter as long as you know how to control yourself, eat more now, but lesser later. haha... It's late, don't think i would wanna cook mee, a drink would do. That's all for now, hope you guys enjoy reading...

Boring times..

2009-06-04T01:52:00.007+08:00

Good morning, it's 2a.m in the morning. I'm bored here and started blogging. Holidays are getting boring. Know what i have been doing? I sleep from 2 or 3a.m till the next day at 1p.m. Sometimes I have my breakfast cereals for lunch. People say skipping breakfast is bad for health? I'm not skipping my breakfast, just delaying it to lunch hour for breakfast. So is it still bad for health? I'm very healthy anyway.

I have been watching dramas to kill my bored hours. I wonder why i watched for so many days and it never finish. Getting bored of dramas. Wanting to buy some movies to watch.

I'm lacking of exercises. A balanced diet must incur with some exercises? Please date me for exercise. I know many sports, any sport will do just don't ruby.

I have been reading my previous posts and I found it funny. Mee goreng and slapping flies? Get cheated? washing machine? what the heck... Anyway, these are great memories. If i did not write it down, I may have forgotten it.

Last few weeks I have been bringing around my cousins and relatives from johore to visit in Brunei. We stopped by the polo club for the horses. I have the earliest arrival and while waiting for others, i took a picture with one of the horses. Polo Club really has lots of horses, white, black or brown. I don't see any red ones. The horse got shy and don't dare to face the camera.

They should be great living in Brunei. Brunei is prohibited for gambling. There wasn't any running competition for these horses? If I am not mistaken, they play soccer? kick the ball around.

One picture from me. And Happy Holidays! =)

ZzzzZZz

2009-05-31T14:00:00.002+08:00

I had an embarrassment day!!!!!!!! sob sob sobbbbbbbbbbbbb.... I was sooooooooooo malu mannnnnnnnnnnn.... It was my fault. I shouldn't play around.... sighhhhh....

I won't write out my embarrass stuff. This is one public area later everyone laugh at me. bleh...

I started my 3 months holidays. That's really long holiday. What should i do with it? It's getting boring each and each day passed. I felt so useless sleeping all day. The more i sleep the more tired i am.

I'm soooo lazy now..... ZzzZZzzz

Back to Tomboy yen.

2009-03-26T23:47:00.004+08:00

Wow... how much is the thickness of dust in this blog? Let you guys guess. If guessed correctly got gift. I was being lazy recently and don't know what to update to my blog.

Nowadays weather is getting hotter and hotter. Don't you guys think so? I don't think any of you realized. Air con room people. lol. Someone like me, stay inside hostel without air con, with the healthy environment, sleep with window opened almost everyday now when i was there. Last semester i don't sleep with window open. Am i getting braver? hoho.

I wonder why is my face getting worse every time i live hostel.

Oh.. Have i mentioned it yet? I have officially changed my name from Rachel to Tiffany. How do you guys think? Rachel Chiam? or Tiffany Chiam? Tiffany Chiam sounds better... lol.

Eating outside food days and days really fade me out! With calories counting, i thought i maintain myself but who knows... my weight are gaining terribly! Taking too much of Ajinamoto can make your hair fall off. For those who have thick hairs, i would advise them to take in more ajinamoto. bleh...

I miss my last semester's hostel life where everyone gather together to make good food, chit chatting as well as laughing together. But now... ... sigh~

My final exams if i am not mistaken, is getting near in just one month time. I need to work hard especially in my M.I.B and ethics. Nearly end of semester, assignments and presentations come to date me. I wouldn't have time to date people lo... haha...

I have turned back to the tomboy yen as before. This time my hair is even shorter than last time. Ok ok. I try to be boyish.

Cornflake cookies recipe.

2009-01-24T23:14:00.003+08:00

Chinese new year is coming. Anyone thinking to bake some nice cookies or cakes? I tried cornflake cookies. I found the recipe on the net and feeling to share it. It's really nice and crunchy. Hope everyone like it.

Update

2009-01-24T21:48:00.005+08:00

School has already started since few weeks ago, my timetable is going stable. I scheduled my free day on thursday, so that i can come back on wednesday after class and stay home on thursday and friday. Saturday will be my tiring day lo. Class till afternoon... I was thinking it was good to have class on saturday. I can enjoy after class. hoho.

I have already cut my fringe. It was not a nice one. The don't know shampoo girl or hairstylish or who ever dunno how to cut hair, helped me to cut my fringe to really really short. Let me explain the whole story. At first the women ask me whether I want layer or straight. I said i want layer. I told her the shortness till eyebrow or up a very little bit. Then she help me cut lo.. It was alright at first.. I think ok ok only... her cutting skill not good whenever she first cut liao. Then she talk talk to me, and told me cut straight nice and it's very trendy. Like keep advertise cut straight. I really thought her way of straight should be better than the layer lo... At the same time, the layer not ok... So i ask her to change to straight.

Who knows... It comes !@#$%^&*().... So damn ugly and short. Finally i ask her to cut back to layers lo... She herself advise me (indirectly) said that during cny it will grow longer, and become nice. -_- ... That means she herself thinks not nice as well. Even the layer she cut back for me is !@#$%^&*(). The other day morning i can't seems to wait for my hair to grow... i cut it myself... with more layers. I satisfy my cutting skills.

The girl who helped me to cut hair, she loosed her scissor and it fell down. She can't even hold her scissor tightly!!! really shake head la. A good hairstylish should tell customer of which shortness or level of fringe is suited.. If not, at least be cut " xiang yang yi dien". A good hairstylish can even cut a nice fringe even though it's a really short one.

Enough with my complains la.

There are lots of gossips and rumors regarding insects being found in mandarin orange. This leads to people don't dare to buy or eat mandarin orange. Price dropped approximately 15% compared to last year. From what i heard from those aunties, they said many people got sicked because of this incidence, many people caught cough and visit the hospital. The more worse, insects were found in mandarin oranges because in china, due to earthquake, many people were killed in the natural disaster, they used the dead people as fertilizer.

I am here to clarify that, not worries eating mandarin oranges during chinese new year. I have surfed the net, those insects oranges were only found in 四川. And they were already demolished. The oranges sold at supermarket were from lu chow or somewhere thousand miles away from 四川. If they were not alright, many countries will use law to sue them or even ban it. People caught sick may due to the terrible weather. It's raining all day long with flooding around... It's normal to see insects in apple, mango or even durians. Why is it abnormal in mandarin orange?

Anyway, Happy Chinese New year to everyone. Hope u guys have a great year.. receive ang paos.. play blackjack... wuuuuu... haha.

new hair

2008-12-25T22:33:00.007+08:00

Merry Christmas to everyone.. During Christmas, gadong is terribly jammed.. I used more than 30 minutes to search for parking. I think the government should build more parking areas.

Police were so hardworking these days. They set many road blocks and speed tracks on the road. Therefore, people out there, drive carefully lo... I have already received an early christmas gift from the police last week. I got speeding fined $50.. It occurred at mumong highway... Who will think there got catch car de le... =/

yo yo.. It's me again. Very surprising to see a new post at this hour? Since its holiday, i try my best to blog more la. I gave up my precious drama time to write this post up lo. So you guys must read very slowly and carefully. Don't rush or just scan thru my post. Imagine how i use my time to write this post, i got so many things to do.. but to do this just for u guys to read. So u guys must appreciate it. LOL. *trying to act like my management lecturer* Those escape escape students, don't think they know the lecturer ever say these? :P

Have you guys ever try to set alarm in the morning just for a phone call? I find this funny, so i share this out. The day before yesterday i set alarm at 9.15a.m in order to phone Mr. Lim regarding on the job offer. After that, i gone back to sleep till afternoon. I might want to work part time next month, depends on my schedule. I think my coming life would be tiring.. and stress. =/

I went to Miri few days ago and bought a new cap. It's pink in colour. I love my new cap.

Here's my new style. Nice or not? Got hip hop feelings? xp

What else for me to add? This year Christmas i will be staying in Brunei. I still remember how i spent my christmas these 2 years. Last year at singapore, and last 2 years at Shanghai.. Both with family, not much special thought. xp 2009 is coming so soon, and 2008 will be leaving as soon too. Hope 2009 is a better year for everyone, and just leave any unhappy stuff before 2009 comes. =)

My update

2008-12-09T22:15:00.003+08:00

Home alone

2008-10-30T15:08:00.002+08:00

What a lonely day. This is my first time experiencing days of home alone! Imagining the movie on "Home alone". Yesterday when i reached home from bandar, my house seems really silent, no noise around or any sound made from my mum's baking machine. I have to take my things out from the car, find keys to enter the house. When the door is unlocked, it was dark inside everywhere where nobody's home. Felt very uncomfortable.

But the time passes very fast, back home online a while, take a shower and out for dinner. Thanks to mich who accompanied me the whole night. I now understand the feelings of mother on how to settle for every dinner. It's really headache to think of what to eat or what to cook for dinner. I have difficulties on settling my dinner coming days, even for tonight. As what people say, " walk one step, count one step?" In the end, mee goreng as a result. -_-

Oh... let you guys know one cute thing about me. I just learned how to use washing machine last few days. I learned it all by myself. My family except me have left to singapore for a week, I have no choice but to wash my clothes for this week. Tell this to people they will only say, " How old are you ledy? dunno how to use washing machine. siaooooooooooooooooooo!"

Assignments are really killing me. I have to find 10 articles and write 10 essays about it. Due date is next week. Time passes really fast. I want to catch my dramas, my animes. But I'm responsible for my assignment. Even if I was watching drama, drama feelings doesn't strike me.

I felt I'm really brave to stay at home alone. People ask, " Stay at home by yourself? you won't scare meh? later got .. got.. got ... .... " I'm just a weak lady... a nerd girl who is afraid of anything... @.@ *acting innocent*

Mid semester break.

2008-10-04T12:28:00.007+08:00

I think my blog gathered with lot of dusts already. Help me clean it up please? Are my readers still with me? It's my mid semester break now. But holidays are just one week time, very short. Hope i could sleep as much as I want in this holidays. I think half of my holidays are in Miri. Other days busy with movies and... bbq. xD

Anyway, i have wanted to blog about my niece's picture since long. My niece is soooo cute la... I will smile automatically when i see her and forget about all the stress i have in uni. xp

These pictures are taken during her full moon time.

And today's pictures,

She has grown up a lot. She was trying to crawl on the bed. But i think she failed to do so... She doesn't have enough energy. Or she got tired already. haha.

So... How's uni life? Not fun at all. Before i entered ubd, i have always stayed at home and thinking my life would be different after uni start. Where i can rock anytime i want. haha. But after i stayed in hostel, or got the chance to go out often, i think home is the best. Home has its warmness that hostel can't find it, anyone realised it? Maybe that's only for me.

Ops, there's something new about me. I am no longer the girl that i used be. I have become nerd. hohoho. Is "nerd" very trendy at the moment? hmmm....

Anyway, have fun visiting my blog. And Selamat Hari Raya to everyone. Happy go pai nien receiving many green packets. And enjoy my nerd picture. hehehe.

2008-08-29T17:33:00.004+08:00

konichiwa onigaishimas. Sorry for this late update. I don't really have the mood to blog in hostel maybe due to the environment. I'm here to update a bit of myself. so... here goes:

I have been promoted to become an aunty. The term "aunty" not really nice to hear eh. Let me change it to become "yi yi" . Yea, my sister gave birth to a baby girl. She is very cute. My mum said she has my attitude and look very alike me when i was a baby. The second Chiu Yen is going to arrive soon. Gonna teach her more about me. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Ops, did i mention i moved house? I am officially moved to Kuala Balai. Currently a Kuala Balai moi. But But But, I only live there once or twice a week and I gave my lovely new room for my sister and niece to stay. Overall, I get to sleep in my own room once only where it was the first day me and my family moved in.

How's my hostel and uni life anyway? Don't have any good food. Cooking? lazy lazy... My room is a mess. Most of my friends complained about my room. Hais... Tidying stuffs is really my weakness. Although I tried to clean my table, it will still looks untidy. Here's a picture of my table in the room.

My table is not that terrible la... haha.

About my studies, next week starting to have exams. Monday and Tuesday will be the most struggling day cause we put most of the tutorials at this 2 days up to 5p.m . And I took japanese course. Here's my introduction :

Hajimemashite,

Watashi wa Chiam Chiu Yen desu,

Malasien jin desu,

Watashi wa Burunei na daigaku desu.

Yoroshiku onigaishimas.

Anyone knows what I'm trying to say? haha. xD

忍一时，海过天空？

2008-07-23T22:37:00.006+08:00

Yo, what's up everyone? lol. I have been really lazy recently to update my blog. Since everyone updated their blog, maybe I should update update a little. haha. So what have I up to recently? Many things had happened regarding on my family. I think july 15th 2008 is our most pitiest day ever. Something about my landlord. Some of you may know it already, I better don't share it out here.

But because of that incident, we gained something. My family, without any plannings, decided to loan a house in sungai liang within just 3 days! However, it's still in processing with the bank. Maybe this is what called "faith" on owning this house.

Besides on owning the house, actually that house is too expensive for my family to live. So we plan to take the house as an investment. We will be moving to another house coming august. We rented a house in Kuala Balai, so you guys have to drive further to visit me after august 15th.

Maybe we should thanks to our current landlord on making all sort of silly movements that makes our path goes higher. Their names are getting more smelly as well, especially to the daughter. xp I'll be having my own room soon. But however, I only able to stay in my new room for 1 or 2 days? since I'll be having my studies sooner or later in UBD. Life without air-con. T-T and life without internet in hostel? I saw the promotion on WAVES, that $20 has unlimited access to the internet, valid for 1 month only. I never used it before, wonder if it would work without any registeration or anything. If not, I can bring over my Dst GO! Broadband router to online o... For hostel mates who are interested to share with the internet, I can charge them as well. Business business.. xp hahaha.

So, are any of you getting excited on the coming orientation? From what the seniors experienced, they knock their door to wake them up during midnight to gather together or assembly. Very fun right? By the way, this is just for those who are staying in ubd hostel. So, for those who are not staying there, you do not have the pleasure to enjoy this soooooo exciting game. =p

I think I will stop till now. Ohhh, I have downloaded a new game. " Virtual Villagers The Secret City" no time to play le... So see you guys around. Appreciate this post please, next post might be coming in 1 or 2 weeks time i guess. xp

Sleep

2008-07-14T16:41:00.006+08:00

Today the stressy topic, I with honour will discuss something about sleeping. Sleep has always been a dark and mysterious part of our nature. All humans and animals need to sleep. God doesn't sleep, so do UFO? Why does a person gets tired and need a rest anyway? Same goes to animals. How much do we need for a normal sleep? What happens if we sleep too overly or too little?

The optimal amount of sleep for the average adult is 7 hours. A person will be having sleep deprivation if he sleep less than 7hours to 5hours. Adequate sleep is crucial to brain functioning. There will be no less so than air, water, and food. With an optimal hour sleep, he/she will probably feel refreshed and full of energy after awake. A person whom have enough sleeping hours can actually enhance on his or her learning and memory. Learning and memory can be described in three functions namely Acquisition, Consolidation and Recall. Acquistion refers to the introduction of new information into the brain. Consolidation represents the processes by which a memory becomes stable. Recall refers to the ability to access the information (whether consciously or unconsciously) after it has been stored.

Without adequate sleep and rest, memory and learning(concentration) on that particular person will be weaker. Overworked neurons can no longer function to coordinate information properly. Example, during exam period, student tends to stay up late for study, but the student will find it hard to gain access to his or her brain. I did tried it, it's just like the informations entered my right ear and out from my left ear.

Too much or few hours of sleep will not balance the air, water or food to the person. Lack of them will be taken in if the person spent too much on his sleeping hours. Take the example of me, I used to sleep 10 or 11 hours a day. Or even 12 hours. Once i woke up it's already noon. That means I missed my breakfast and straight to lunch. Or is it called brunch? With the imbalance taking of food and water, I might be having malnutrition. Weight lose might occurs? And so, it goes to health problems. In my opinion, a person who slept too much wouldn't feel refreshed but fatigue. It feels like no energy to do something so do memory and concentration.

Sleep deprivation can have serious effects on your health in the form of physical and mental impairments. Inadequate rest weakens our ability to think, to handle stress, to maintain healthy immune system, and to moderate our emotions. Insufficient rest can also cause people to have hallucinations. Many examples can be shown within dramas or movies. Just like when you have not eaten any food for one or two days, you start hallucinating there're hamburgers in front of you or any pizzas around. It's the same as you are over tiring, you found a bed in front of you to sleep. Other typical effects of sleep deprivation include:

depression
heart disease
hypertension
irritability
slower reaction times
slurred speech
tremors

For people who suffer from sleep deprivation are normally elderly age group. In fact, over 50 per cent of people over 64 years old suffer from sleep disorder.

Another problem with sleep deprivation is weight changes. Weight gain will occur. Because the amount and quality of sleep we get will affect our hormones, namely our levels of leptin and grehlin. Leptin and Grehlin are hormones that help the body control appetite and weight gain and loss. During sleep deprivation, level of grehlin increases, causes a greater appetite, and levels of leptin decreases. Making the person to feel hungrier.

At the American Diabetes Association's annual meeting in June 2001, Eve Van Cauter, Ph.D., reported that people who regularly do not get enough sleep can become less sensitive to insulin. This increases their risk for diabetes and high blood pressure – both serious threats to the brain.

Stress can affect proper sleep. For example, with A'level examinations, working or money problem that increase our stress level. Can we include relationship problems that causes people to have sleep disorder? With all these stress, that person might have the possibility to suffer from insomnia. Insomnia refers to the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep.

At Tel Aviv University, Dr. Avi Sadeh conducted a study of students. He found that those "who tended to focus on their emotions and anxiety during the high-stress period were more likely to shorten their sleep, while those who tended to ignore emotions and focus on tasks extended their sleep and shut themselves off from stress."

So people, do my readers suffer from sleep deprivation? I think many of you might be having too much on sleeping time? Sleeping too much has its problems as well. For example, it will mess up your sleeping schedule. Research shows that people who sleep at least 9hours a night will double the risk to develop parkinson's disease than those sleeping 6hours or less. Sleep deprivation can lead to increased accidents, worsening health and lower test scores.

Stressy post

2008-07-08T00:44:00.006+08:00

Since you guys like to laugh at my earlier post, let u guys laugh till suang suang. I will be publishing stressing entry for you guys to read till you got the bored feeling and cry out, so stress one! hahaha... laugh laugh, laugh as many as you want first. =p

A stressing post actually has its difficulty and complication. Before making the readers to feel stress on reading, the writer have to stress 10 times as many as the readers on analysing, observing, and finally evaluate everything into million of wordings. Before making analysis or observation, the writer have to make many researches regarding on the stressful topic. So, my readers, should appreciate it... Laugh more on reading my coming stressy topic. =p

Anyway, this is not the stressing topic that i will start la.. Today i only explain about stressing post. I gonna try on one stressy post. Since my brain hasn't working for so long, i should stress myself i guess? xp I let you guys have fun reading first.

What is stress anyway?

Stress is the emotional and physical strain caused by our response to pressure from the outside world. Common stress reactions include tension, irritability, inability to concentrate, and a variety of physical symptoms that include headache and a fast heartbeat.

I found a website explaining in detail about stress. There are definition on stress, the causes of stress, how to deal with stress and other solutions on stress. Any of you feeling stress or need any help regarding this topic on GP i guess? Can visit this site, here. Friends whom are stressed on their works, especially to those doing accountings? They mentioned how stress their work on. Actually I don't really understand about their stress, beside cutting off on the messy invoices or lost invoices? Guess everything will just gone back to school's accounting?

Thinking of stress, I'm getting it sooner or later if i continue. lol. Okay, enjoy reading on this post. Don't get yourself stressed up first. Have fun laughing. lol.

Being cheated. -.-

2008-07-01T15:52:00.005+08:00

Is the title interesting? Wonder will my readers get curious and think, " Eh? being cheated? how come oh.... =/ aiyo... what being cheated.. " Are you having this thoughts on mind? hehe. Ok. Let's continue~

My passport left one page only and the immigration in Brunei told me that if they chop the jamin pass, i cannot go anywhere else except Brunei. And so i went to my country, Malaysia at Miri yesterday to make my new passport. I went to Miri with my sister, my mum and my grandmother.

While reached Miri's Immigration, my sister dropped me there and told me to settle it myself. She said she want to bring mum change money this that. lol. I think she want me to be independent a bit, called me to ask people what to do. And so I just let it be, go there myself with my handbag and a bag of information for my new passport's use. Miri's Immigration moved to "Yu Lan Plaza", next to market. After stepping in Yu Lan Plaza, i looked around see whether there's any plate on Immigration. Found it and head straight to elevator to first floor.

Reaching the first floor, the immigration is just located on my right. It's so easy to find where it is. Then i get in to the department. I remembered my mum told me that i need to take form to fill in. And so after getting in the department, I look around. There's one uncle stared at me and like wanting to turn to me. I thought he's the security guard or what cause he got the formal wearing... I told him i want to do passport. He turned to the table, (table for filling form) and take out a piece of form. I don't know where he got the form, maybe from his bag or where. He asked for my old passport, ic, birth certificate as well. Then i open my bag and hand out my passport, ic those to him. After that, he took out his pen and help me to fill! He asked me to sit down also. I was thinking, why this uncle so good one? He help me to fill bo... or he help everyone to fill the form also? The uncle got long sighted lens, he hardly can see the letters from my IC or passport.

He filled the form very slowly and difficulty, ( his wordings very lousy also) till i wanna tell him i can help to fill de... But i didn't do so la. haha. The form has only one page and can finish it very fast. While he was viewing my passport, he said this kid so rich so young got passport for overseas. I didn't reply him, instead said in my heart, " eh? why security guard say these things de? "

After filled everything, he asked for my passport size photo. So i handed it to him. He looked at my picture and say something about my teeth! I said to myself again, " Why this uncle look at my photo o. " He handed me the form, and asked RM6. Got a bit shocked, i tot my mum told me only RM1. While taking out my money, the form is written RM1 !!! What!? Am I being cheated? Got a bit blur. Then he told me the form is 1 dollar, 5 dollar on the writings. -__-"

He asked me to go counter 12, i thanked him while leaving le... LOL

I went to the center, to let the people see my form, things that needed. He gave me number for me to wait to be called. While sitting, trying to look at the form that has just filled by the uncle. That uncle came to me to ask whether got anything wrong. I said ok. He asked me, " You know how to read malay?" LOL. Do i look like i don't know malay? I got credit for my malay le...

After a while, my mother joined me. I told them about it. My mother laughed at me, my sister laughed at me, my grandmother laughed at me also.... T__T
The number reached me, i went to the counter. My mum ask the lady where to get the form, the form cost RM 6? She said the form costed RM1 , it's located at the place where i get number. My mum told her about the uncle. She laughed also. T__T

That uncle... hais.. that's a way of business? I don't think there will be these "uncles" or "aunties" to be seen in Brunei immigration eh. Let me teach if any of you want to make money, take the opportunity to stand at Brunei's immigration, help people to fill in forms. Once per $3? or $5? lol

I took my new passport in the afternoon. After getting it, i viewed on my page. Scan scan scan.

Height written : 157 cm

-_______________-"

This height was 5 years ago... I am not that short anymore... T-T maybe i am now 159cm. That uncle copy my height from the old passport... T_T

My sister was so wanting to know how my dad or brothers react after knowing this incidence. My dad said, if that uncle ask me to follow him to somewhere to get form, then he kidnap me and sell me... LOL what la.. hais.

My grandmother's cat has passed away. I guess it's reaching its old age gua.. 9 years cat le...

Snow rabbit

2008-06-24T21:46:00.008+08:00

Anyone of you ever heard of snow rabbit? I didn't really know it exists after chatting with a friend. So i know what to blog about today. hehehe. I'm trying to google google. I found out abominable snow rabbit. What's abominable snow rabbit anyway?

Arrrrrr..... i don't know how to save pictures in the net using apple's operating system....

Here comes~

It's the bugs bunny! I think during our times, we used to watch bugs bunny right? Because it was popular 10 years ago. But 10 years after's today, i guess bugs bunny are not longer popular? I remembered i ask one of my young cousins whether she watch bugs bunny. She doesn't even know what bugs bunny is. lol. But barley is still as popular as before. Bugs bunny was one of my favourite cartoons before. I used to watch it every sunday, 9a.m in tv 2 or tv 3. hehe. Now 9 a.m is my sleeping time. Please don't disturb. =p

Ok, back to the snow rabbit.

This is the real one. cute? of cos la... I didn't really research on this snow rabbit. Can they live in summer? Can they survive in a hot country like Brunei? Will they die of over-heating in Brunei? hahaha. Thinking of snow rabbit, i do remember there's those drama, stone-age drama, they catch rabbits in the snow to prevent themselves from starvation. How pity are these rabbits...

Okay, end of the rabbit stuff. Anyone interested on what i did recently? hahaha. For my normal life, i sleep, eat, drama and went out to help mum, take plates. GO is one interesting game. It makes my brain working. Just like how i used to do maths, complicated question, need concentration, think slowly to get the right answer. If i didn't get the right answer, my mind became confused and eager to dig the answer out. Same as GO, need lots of concentration, lose control if get trapped by opponent's stone. I might get hyper if i get to trap the opponent's stone just like how relief i got when i get the correct answers on my maths. xp People in kgs are very strong. But they are very kind, and helpful to teach me. =D

Regarding the UBD, I need a medical check up. =x Medical check up meaning... injection.... take my blood.... =x =x =x

UBD

2008-06-18T21:59:00.006+08:00

Now there wouldn't be the same old page with the outdated post below. Anyway, i got a bit lazy today. I will make the post fast. I will post about the offers from ubd. Anyone who have questions about the offers, some of my answers here may help you. =)

The day before yesterday, i received a call from ubd telling me to take letter from her the day after. And so, i went to bandar yesterday for the letter.

Here's the envelop for you guys to see. See the UBD logo? =p haha.

This is the envelop that i took yesterday. Where's the letter anyway? I find it nothing really special so i didn't take any pictures of it. There's a yellow form inside the envelop, that form is needed to hand in within one week after the date of letter being offered. So anyone of you who have received the call, be hurry to fill in the yellow form. The yellow form i meant is actually a reply form. After that one week if you didn't pass up the form, it means you are rejecting the letter.

I am being accepted to study B.A Accounting and finance in UBD. I will become one of the student from ubd sooner or later. Any of my UBD-mates? qing da jia duo duo zi jiao. Back to the letter, it consists in details of fees payment to UBD. What is the amount anyway?

Numeric seems interesting, so i took one photo of it. That's the total fees i have to pay for UBD. I am not really sure if we need to settle it down before school starts. Or maybe settle it during orientation.

What's more? For the green ic holder, there's additional contents regarding the student pass, there's an amount shown $1500 (if any) . I am not really clear about statement, but i think that statement states to pay a deposit of $1500 before my student pass has been issued. =x

Any of you gonna stay in the school hostel? I have asked about it. According to what she had told me, there will be announcement during orientation day. So we couldn't able to move in during the orientation. I said to her, I have to come up and down from kb for one week?! Her replies, not gonna be one week, i think 4days. -_- Any followers? i charge high high. =p

Uni gonna start sooner or later, i need to learn many things from now on. Including washing cloth, cooking, got what again? Learn how to wake early. xp hahaha.

I will be going miri tomorrow. kai kai. I have my first post with pictures in blogger. haha. Okay, i guess i will stop here. Feed me with comments. Chat box is for chatting, comment box is for commenting. thank you for dropping by. cya. xp

Welcome to my new blog.

2008-06-13T14:46:00.001+08:00

Welcome to my new blog again. Haha. I will not delete my xanga site as i don't know how to import my previous post here. Nobody want to teach me plus i described about my theme in xanga, so better leave it like this for referants. Should i sometimes blog at xanga's? Blog alternatively? So u guys can visit my xanga site, my xanga's wouldn't be dead from now onwards. Hahaha. just kiddings. Anyone whom have not read my previous posts yet and are interested on it, you can click on my xanga blog provided under links.

I will link my friends here as soon as possible. Do remember to change my link on your site. If not you can add one more link for this site. hehe. A chat box will be added as well. Should i put a chatbox here? If i add a chatbox will anyone fill my comment box? Oh... I should take this as consideration first.

Nothing happened on me these few days, really had no idea what to blog about. Let's talk about the topic that i normally find if there's no more topic for me to be discussed.
How's the weather today??? =p

KB's weather is real hot now. Sunny day with the sun shining brightly outside my house. I wonder how's the weather in your place now? The weather is becoming hotter and hotter, it melts the ice in north pole. Sea lions drown and died in the sea when they fail to find landings. That's miserable. Let's change topic.

Have a look on the economic? I guess you all know about the increase in price of fuel in malaysia. It makes the RM depreciate. I wonder how will it effect in the long run? The short run will be terrible. Difficulty in living due to high inflations? Companies will try to cut expenses on workers, many people will lose their jobs. Crime rate increases. Unemployed people do not have enough earnings and start robbing.

Bruneians are so lucky to have a good sultan. The Sultan subsidies on rice for people living here to purchase. The price of petrol or diesel in Brunei remains the same throughout the period. Brunei makes the domestic people living peacefully without any worries. Unlike Miri, the price of rice has increased by 100% !!! Oil and rice are nesseccities in every countries.

The world is sooooo stressing... hais...
