Like a stupid Hunter.

I will be leaving to KL one hour later. Yes, another walk-in-interview for me to attend tomorrow...

Gosh, I am tired. I dont want to be a hunter anymore! There are traps everywhere. As a hunter, I stepped into one of the traps of the employers. Ewww.I hate liars. Why should they lie? *sigh... Door to door selling, Grrr..

I am leaving... Wish me good luck!

Goodbye, My Beloved Redang Islang... I will be back, I promise...

My dearest Friends, Protocol, Lampfly and YOkeHan, You all will be in my heart...Now and Forever..

Heaven, Redang Island (3)

Three of us visited one of the souveneir shops in Redang Island. hehe. A lot of unique things were available for sale but we didn't buy any. See, we were chatting happily and Lampfly held one of the cheappest post card in her hand. At last, she didn't purchase, too. :P The Shopkeeper was cursing us in her heart, I guess...

Three stunning girls and the lovely big blue sea. The sky was the wet pale blue of a water-colour sky just painted and not yet dried. It formed a direct connection to the light blue sea... Wow.. Let's turn into mermaids, let's move our home into the deep blue sea...It's fantastic!

Oppps.. Protocol pinched me on my chubby face! haha.. She was just jealous about my flawless face. Hehe..She wanted to make me look ugly but I was still lovely. :P yo!

Here's one of the beach boys in Redang Beach Resort. He wasn't the one who led us in snorkeling but I think that he is kinda cool. We had a beach party at the first night along the beach, the audiences weren't supportive and this guy, who was topless, danced crazily to attract the people to join. It was hard to get the party started, Protocol and I joined the small group in dancing after seeing his hardwork. Gosh, his well-bulit body was glittering with sweat. He was kinda sexy, that time. :P

Here's are some other beach boys.:) I caught them unaware. hehe.:p They may look plain but their enthusiasm toward their work is excellent! Ask, Lampfly, she would tell you about it! :P

Yeah. He is Khai! One of three Chinese beach boys at Redang Beach Resort. Protocol like him a lot. He is that type of typical beach boy, well-built body, olive-skinned, easy-going, hilarious, cute, fun-loving, helpfull, sweet, and striking. Yeah! I love this picture!

This is Yee.:) He is a very kind and sweet beach boy. He was the one who drove the speedboat and sent us back to the quay. Protocol and I had a long talk with him under the moonlight. He stated that,' I have been working here for 5 years. Everday I bring different tourists to explore the ocean, showing them corals, fishes, and other underwater creatures. I have been repeating the same work day after day, but I never get tired of it.I love my job and I would continue doing it and staying here, till the end of the day...' That's impressive... How about us? Fresh graduates?Thnking of simply getting an Admin job? Wow! You guys should see their passions...

Robert, the leader of the snorkeling group is the oldest beach boy at Redang Beach Resort. He is cute and lovely. :) He was having his head on Lampfly's shoulder. Yeah! Lampfly enjoyed it, I guess!

Here's a group photo of those beach boys. Too many of them were on duty so we were only managed to get some of them into the picture. Pay attention to the guy with the cap. He is Pan! Wow! He is truly good-looking and charming. I couldnt take my eyes off from him since the very first moment I saw him. He has many tattoos on different part of his body and they look great on him. Wow! It's a pity. I couldnt take a personal photo with him, Pan! You are cool! I like you...

....Yee and another beach boy were preparing to send us back to the quay with the speedboat. :( Yes, time to say GoodBye...I don't want that...

heaven-Redang Beach (2)

Here's a space that planted with green bamboos near our resort. Protocol loves the lanscape a lot so we had several pictures taken there. The two girls in black are Young and Sherry. They are our new friends in the trip. The verdure of the mother nature and sheer greenery is captivating, isn't it? But I think 6 of us had spoilt the beautiful scenery :P

Four of us were sheltered from the hot sun at Redang Beach. Wow! It was 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the weather was burning hot so Protocol and YokeHan wore their 'cool' sun glasses to prevent the ruthless sunlight from hurting their eyes! Nonetheless, at that moment, the surface of the sea was sparkling with the light colour of blue and it looked inviting!

Protocol, Lampfly and I risked our lives to climb up the rocks to get the best camera's angle. Look at the picture carefully, if anyone of us had one step behind, unconsciously, she will fall and her brain or backbone would crashed at the rocks. We might be dying or end up paralyzed! That's really dangerous! By the way, is that really a good camera angle? :-$

Wonderful beach. Three of us sat on the wooden long chair and smiled at the camera. I was thinking that, ' How nice would that be if we could spend months in that island? Leading the island life, like those beach boys...We wouldn't need to care about job-hunting and others stupid urban troubles...But, it's just impossible...

Here's the close up of the crystal clear ocean. Don't you feel like soaking yourself into the icy-cold water at once? Come on, take off your shirt and pants, change into a swimming suit and enjoy the embrace of nature! It's time to relax and have fun!


Protocol and I were walking along the beach. Stepping on the flour sand, we left our foot prints behind... Now referring back to the picture, I am wondering, when are we going to have chance to walk on each others' side while admiring the beauty of the island again? Our foorprints were blown away by the wind, but the laughters along the way were stored in my heart...

We were having the steamboat as dinner at the very first day we arrived. At first, Protocol and Lampfly were complaining that the materials provided by the restaurant weren't enough for the four of us. But, at last, You guys can see the expressions of Lampfly and YokeHan! Hehe. Both of them were fed up with the food. Obviously, we couldnt finish the food...:P

Yeah, Cheers! Cheers for our future, Cheers for our friendship, Cheers for Redang island, Cheers for UTAR, Cheers for graduation, Cheers for eveything. We all must live up our lives to the fullest and keep in touch, even though it is hard...

YokeHan and I had the photo taken under a huge coconut tree. She is such a sweet girl, isn't she? Such a beauty, no wonder the beach boy was crazy about her! Yeah! YokeHan, thanks for spending time with us, love you! Keep in touch! Muaks!

Heaven, Redang Island (1)

Four of us, Protocol, Lampfly, YokeHan and I had our graduation trip in one of the utmost amazing tourism hotspots in Kuala Terengganu, Redang Island from 8th to 10th May, 2006. We faced some technical problems before getting into the bus and we were upset about the fact that we have graduated and going to separate with one another. However, after having a 9 hours journey on the bus, we were brought to the incredibly wonderful island by boat. At the moment we had our hearts and soul near to the mother nature, no more troubles in our mind. Nothing is really a big deal! Yeah! We felt that we were part of the island!

The wind, the sea, the flour sand, the sea shells, the sun, the beach boys! Here we are! :p At the very first moment I stepped my feet into the haven, I know that I would love this place dearly, and wouldn't bear to leave this wonderland...
Now...let's start the trip.. hehe..join me! Yay! Redang!

Jobless, Useless

I had my last paper about two weeks ago. Ya, I have graduated. Fresh graduate who is in the status of jobless. Gosh, like Tasha and all of my classmates, I have been trying my best to get an ideal job as soon as possible. I hate the feeling having no purpose and doing nothing in life. As such, I am kinda desperate. Tasha laughed at me for simply attending the walk-in interview, which I wasn't even sure about the position I was applying for.Yes, it sounds funny, but I couldn't just sit here and wait for a job to fall from the sky. *sigh. It's a painful experience...

Yesterday, I purposely went to Singapore for one walk-in interview. As usual, the stupid walk-in interview took me hours of waiting. I hate that, but no choice. The worst of all was that the company actually only interested in those applicants, who had at least two years of working experience. The person-in-charged said in the briefing session,

"Frankly, speaking, we are here to employ candidates with at leat two years of wokring experience. If you are a fresh graduates, we are sorry to tell you that it is pretty hard for you to be employed..."

I was dissapointed after hearing his words. Anyway, the interviewer was a nice person and I was thankful for that. The stupiest thing was that I forgot to tell him more about my experience in working as a journalist last year. I should have told him more. He seemed to be interested. Gosh, mayeb I felt hopeless and that time and I was too calm and too cool. I chatted with him, casually about many things that are irrelevant, instead of me entering Dean list or gaining front-page bylines and got in touch with prominents. Silly me!

Anyhow, I guess it is impossible for me to get the job. The other interviewer didnt even utter a word after knowing that I am a fresh graduate without any real working experience.*sigh..

That's not fair, yes, I know that you all need employees with great experience, the problme here is that if all of you continuously rejecting fresh graduates, where are we going to learn things and gain pratical knnowledge? I am deeply stressed, I felt like I am really useless. What for studying hard? What for getting good grades? The result remains the same.

I couldn't see my future. It is blurred, hiding in fog. Mother said that I am picky so it will be hard for me to get a good job. Am I? Maybe, but I don't think that I am going to apply for the jobs that are totally out of my field. Besides, I wouldn't accept a job, which underpaid me, in an exaggerating way, too! Perhaps, I am choosy. :(

I have too many 'what if' in my mind right now. What if I am not going to get any jobs in the coming three months? what if I am still jobless in year 2007? what if ... What if...? Stressful. Pressured.

Is there any way for me to get rid of the difficulties I am having now? Can somedoy out there pull me out from this bed of thorns? God. Suddenly, I am thinking of hypnotism. Yeah. Can it be a way for me to get rid of my difficulties? Sometimes, somebody told me that it can be a method to help you to chase away your sadness, troubles and so on. But, in fact, at that moment. Maybe. After coming back to the reality , the truths would haunt you again..

Yes, hypnotism. Heard about that? According to the wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, Dave Elman defined hypnosis as "a state of mind in which the critical faculty of the human mind is bypassed, and selective thinking established."

Out of the blue, I am obsessed by the idea of hypnotism, wondering if it is really true. I heard and read some information days ago, some of the data stated that hypnotism actually is a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy, which means that when a person believe in a an idea strongly, he or she will try the best to make it come true.

So, this means that, the state of hypnosis is actually created by humans themselves? So, are they aware of what they were doing? Is the situation totally controlled by the hypnotist? So, this means that the subject actually has memories even in the state of hypnosis, but they just choose to forget about it or left them behind?

I guess I am crazy to think of these! Stressful, insane! *sigh!

Any job for me! HELP!

Raising by his single mother on Chicago's South Side, Michael grew up resisting drugs and alcohol, instead concentrating on school.

Michael's role in the movie Armageddon(1998) led to his breakthrough performance in The Green Mile(1999), when his Armageddon co-star Bruce Willis called director Frank Darabont, suggesting Michael for the part of convict John Coffey. He landed the role, receiving critical acclaim for his performance.

In fact, I don't really like to blog about celebrities as there are too many amazing actors or actresses in this planet. Majority of the Hollywood's superstars are glittering in the colourful world, radiating own subtle charm. It is pretty hard for me to have any particular preferrences. By the way, I don' believe that a 'showbiz outsider' like me is able to give out any impartial comments. Nonethelss, after watching the movie-'The Green Mile', I think I have to write something on the character of 'John Coffey', acted by the big guy as mentioned above.

(photo taken from http://www.triviana.com/film/ gfilm/greentwo.JPG)

Basically, the story is rooted at the friendship between John Coffey (Michael Duncan), who was accused of killing two little girls and Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks), the head guard on Death Row. Edgecomb wasn't really convinced that Coffey would be the killer because besides his gigantic body, he was naive, kind, soft-spoken, timid and obedient. The utmost important thing was, his eyes exuded a kind of simplicity or artlessness, like a helpless kid. (Duncan is incredibly outstanding! I really don't know how he did it! Gosh!)

Later, Edgecomb and his colleuges realised about Coffey's gifted supernatural healing and predicting power. Coffey's warm and innocent heart led the guards into a deeper level of humanity's values. Though, at the same time, the ethical dilemma. He saved a lot of people and punished those deserved. By using his power, Coffey lent Edgecomb his eyes so that he could get the truth. But, there was a price he need to pay. He would live eternally, seeing all the beloved one leaving him one by one.

Edgecomb resigned to his lot as he felt that it's a kind of punishment he gained for sending a good guy to the death path and eliminating the God's will...

It is truly a master work as it doesn't only focuses at the two main characters above, there are a lot of stories that are not directly related to each other, but they were combined in a perfect manner by the director.

Hey, Chloe, this blog is all about spoilers! :P hehehe. I love the movie, I love it a lot. I love Michael Duncan. He is truly amazing, he is a genius. I can't forget his eyes, the way the tears rolled down from his big and penetrating eyes. It's like a kind of sadness or begging he had in his heart; it's like he was searching for a missing pieces when he looked into your eyes...It is an extreme contrast with his huge and strong body, but it works WELL!

This flim reflects too many about human nature. I was really touched and i felt like giving Coffey a warm embrace. I wouldn't let off so that his sorrow and pain, he had been gaining for the passing years, would be healed or eased.

I love the quotes:

Edgecomb: "Your name is John Coffey?"

Coffey: "Yes sir boss. Like the drink, only not spelled the same."

One day before sitting on the electric chair, Coffey told Edgecomb, "I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, or tell me where we's coming from or going to, or why. Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world everyday. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head all the time. Can you understand?"

Yes. Coffey. I undestand. You have the kindest soul in the world, Michael Duncan has shown us your spirit and soul...

Bravo!

Truth Hurts

Ahhh... Let me recapture the past. We were the closest sisters in our childhood. Everywhere you go, I would follow; anywhere you were, there would be my soul. We had so much fun together. We went to school together, we took meals together, we cried and laughed at the companionship of each other.

Sadly, due to some weird and unknown reasons, we were drifted away from each other. Maybe that's what we normally named as the price of growing up... We became strangers and didn't talk to each other for ages. Though, I thought that our relationship still has its value. Nevertheless, the experience I encountered and the truths I heard from her hurt me. I got burnt.

Hey, I never talked you down in front of anyone else in that kind of malicious manner. Even though, I may not agree with your attitude and the way you deal with things, sometimes, but I never attacked you, personally. Deep inside my heart, I still regard you as my sister, even if you don't!

Remember the time when you were really helpless? Who lend you her hand? Girl, I accompanied you to search for your college and lost our way at the same time. I was worried about you and called you for times to make sure that you reached the stupid PuduRaya safely and soundly. Where was your dearest rich cousin at that time? You rang her but she refused to help by giving a stupid reason like: 'not free'. At last, what did you do? You groupped up with her and bitching about me, attacked me personally?! What the HELL!

Where did I go wrong? I am not asking you to thank me for my 'kindness'. That means totally nothing to you, I am SURE. But, I never hurt you, not in anyways. Why would you do these to me?

'You sit behind a beauty, envy you...'

A great SMS, huh?! isn't it? Being sarcastic?! That's what you have been learning in your years of studying? Cynicalism...Wow, I love it. Thanks for your compliments ya, my dearest sister... Yes, I am a beauty, a great stunning, incredibly amazing bella! So? You are jealous of me or what?

Tell you, Bitch! You are going to get your retribution for your miserable bad mouthing skill! I think we can see it right now, you are having your own troubles, right? It's not that your dearest sister here wanna curse you, it's just that some people like you, will met your own ends...

Let's wait and see...bloody Bitch!

My brother's recipe: 'Hokkien Flour Cake'

--> This is my brother, Teck. He is four years older than I but he never really act like a big brother who will take care of her sister. He is a bit 'naive' in the way he behaves and communicates with people who are close with him. You WILL definitely be scared if you are staying in my home and being expose to his daily foolish and crazy actions. You will think that this guy is completely out of his mind and need some medication urgently to balance up his emotions. I think the picture at the left explains a lot, there isn't a need for me to further elaborate on his character.:P But, sometimes he is normal, really. Anyhow, I am going to share with you all about my brother's recipe, 'Hokkien Flour Cake', the only dish he is good at preparing.

According to him, to prepare a 'delicious' Flour Cake for the serving of two people, first we have to place 400g of flour into a bowl and then mix it slowly with plain water. Next, we have to use a spoon to stir it well. This stirring process will go on for half an hour and we must have patient to do it carefully so that the best 'Flour Cake' will be produced (This step is shown in picture 1, as posted above).

Later, you can add on any materials you like to enhance the flavour and taste. My brother added in some fish curry powder and yummy 'Ikan Bilis', and then, he stirred the liquid in the bowl with those material for another 5 minutes. At last, referring to step 2 and 3 in the picture obover, he pour the liquid flour into hot oil, gingerly and gently so that a nice and flat shape would be formed. After the surface have turned into the colour of dark golden, you have to turn it over. This step will cost you about 15 minutes.

Finally, *DengDen! A hot and freshly fried 'Hokkian Flour Cake' can be served for two! Yeah, my brother is a bit stupid but yet, he is able to produce this tasty dish. Hey, it's true, it tastes nice! Next time, maybe you all can come to my place, I will ask him to prepare it for you all to try! YAY!

Well, in fact, the steps as mentioned in the second paragraph is not really true. I made it up so that the recipe will sound more normal and expert! hehe. My brother didn't measure the grams and minutes at all, he just simply do it, agak agak punya. :p haha.. He is not that professional, forgive him. :) Anyway, sometimes, he is cute.

That night, we had the flour cake as supper while watching the utmost idiotic horror movie in the universe-'Hostel'. I wasn't able to finish wacthing it as it is truly disturbing, disgusting, irritating, shallow and nasty. Though, my superficial brother, who emphasizes heavyly in 'sensation challenging experience' ONLY enjoy watching this type of movie. Silly him!

Hey, since my not-so-clever brother also can prepare a wholesome dish like 'Hokkien Flour Cake', I am sure that each and everyone of you is able to do that either, or perhaps, a better chef! hehe! yeah!

My goofball brother's recipe, try it at home. :P

P/S: sorrya, I have to apolozise for the indencency projected in the very first picture of my brother, who was smiling lecherously with his bare chest. That's the way he is, I am sorry! Please dont get disturbed or offended. :)
