HOw are yOU???

When people greet you by saying this, what would you reply?

These are what we normally would said, but the right way to do is to also greet people back by posting the same question back to them...

Last Wed (23/03/2011) during my Malaysian Studies, Ms Vivien taught this... She even asked a friend of mine to demo the right way...

My friend : How are you?

Ms Vivien : Fine, thank you. And how about you? 

My friend : BETTER THAN YOU!!!!!!! (he's joking, for sure~ Don't do this ok?)

So, remember guys... Whenever people ask "How are you?", remember to greet them back!!!!!!!!

DON'T EVER LET ME SEE YOU AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, guys~ I never wanted to post on this matter... But, I can't take it anymore... It makes my heart full of HATRED and ANGER!!!!!!!!

It happened just today as I was in T408 on my way back home... After paying my bus fare, I took a seat where I can see the outside view. Then, an African male sat next to me... Though he opened his leg wide that cause me thinking "Hmph! Open the legs so wide, no manners...", but that's all.

Then he started to talk to me when I was playing Bejeweled on my phone... I didn't talk back to him as 1) I don't like people interrupting me when I'm playing 2) I don't know what the heck is he talking with his African- English... Seeing me not a 'good listener' (who wants to be~), I heard him saying, "You don't like BLACKS?" I don't want to 'hurt his feeling' or make him feel discrimination, I said, "I have no comments on Blacks!" (Stupid me! I shouldn't have said that!!!!!!)

After my stupid head made my mouth said so, he started to talk with me... AGAIN!!!!!!! I was like, CRAP!!! Couldn't he just SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!! I don't know why, he stimulate a feeling in me... a feeling that makes me puke (bwu-lek~) Wanna know what he said? Let see~
"You got a great smile~" Haha, as in sarcastic way, I don't need you to tell me!!!!!!!!
"We could be good friend~" OMG, i wanna PUKE!!!!
"Are you 016?" Why do you want to know!!!!!!!!
"What's your number?" I'll be a DUMB if I gave you!!!!!!!!
"Want to know my number?" WHO CARES???!!!!
"Where are you staying?" MIND YOU OWN BUSINESS!!!!!!!!
... and of course, I did told him... shout to him... IN MY HEART~

To make him stop talking, I tried to call my sister, but she didn't pick up her phone... Then, I played a song and stop it making it looked like my phone rang, and talk alone like an idiot!!! In my heart, I was like "Uncle, drive faster!!!" Luckily, I pretended that my call ended because a few seconds later, my phone rang... And I was like "Thank God!" It was my sister who called asking me when I'm coming back... I told her the bus was late for an hour and I'll be back soon... I wanted to tell her about the man beside me... But I didn't! I was hoping that he would get off the bus soon~

When we finished our conversation, the man suddenly touch my right hand which was supporting my books... I quickly SWUNG OFF his hand and STARED at him!!! I don't like people who I'm not close with, or in this case, people I don't know a.k.a STRANGER make a physical contact with me... Maybe my reaction frightened him or scared him off, his stopped kacau-ing me!!!!! Good!!! We really don't have to maintain our image when we're dealing with people like them... I found myself still TREMBLING though he had left... I know that accoding to the 10 Commandment, we should love our neighbour and our enemy... But how to love or forgive someone like him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I got home, I washed my hands with soap for a few times... Then, I told my sister what happened in the bus and I cried... My sister comforted me, telling me to think as if my hand was accidentally being touch, like all will do, in pasar malam... Her words did comforted me... Baby Pooh also comforted me by not calling me Amoi (like she used to) and giving me a choki choki... I didn't tell mummy what happened today because I don't want her to worry and I'm a BIG GIRL now.... I can handle my own problems~

I don't know what's the intention of God made me facing this kind of situation, but I know there must be a reason which we most of the time don't understand at that moment... Therefore, I hope that someday, when I read back this post, the future me would understand... But for now, I might need a councellor... Need to find time to yam cha with Wei Chiew~

aaaaaHHHHH, eND of mY Hectic Day!!!!!!



First, you gotta know that the Hectic Day that I'm referring to is the day before I posted this post which is the 13th of March... On this day, Grace Note and Mr Lam's orchestra, the PJPO gathered together to raise money for the Nepalist... And we (me+kylie+yue sum) have to play during the slot when the members of Grace Note were taking a break...

This is where where the concert was held, Baptist Church, behind the Siamese Temple of PJ... 

The sound system here is DAMN GOOD la!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Look at the place... They even have an auditorium!!!!!!!!!!

So cooL~

Thank you Auntie Jennifer who make-up for the Grace Notes and kylie and I...

I like the glitter pink eye-shadow she put on my face...

Ladies and Gentleman, I present you...

THE GRACE NOTES!!!!!!!!!!!!

(And some behind... TALKING!)

Taking pics with the 'ju gok'~

We oso consider 'ju gok', rite?

Anyway, my playing is the most teruk one... Cause my TIMING really got big 'man tai'...

 I need to look at the conductor's BATANG to make sure I'm in the right speed... And, GREAT!!!

I can't see the BATANG as the piano is very far away from the conductor...

So, my performance was like SHIT!!!

Kylie played quite well... I didn't notice any mistake, but she said she did made some mistake...

And she said I didn't notice it as I was very nervous...

Yue Sum played quite well oso...

Only a few bars in the beginning was wipe out entirely...

But the rest was FINE!!!!

I really pity the orchestra members who played for such a loussy pianist like me...

When kylie was playing, a thought went into my head...

Maybe, the orchestra members are more afraid than I am...

Because I might be the most TERUK+SCARY pianist they ever ENCOUNTERED!!!!

I salut to you, PJPO!!!!!
