Animal Rights Protest in Barcelona.
If I ever decide to turn into a vegetarian/vegan, I would be looking at this over and over again to remind myself.
Yawn
March 25, 2010I don’t want to end up like Guido Contini. Sleepless, and craving for something yet unable to give something in return.
emopsychostar (no) more.
February 23, 2010I would like to change EMOPSYCHOSTAR with something else less adapting from the previous blog family I used to be with (Emopsychostar dot com) but at the same time, I’d like to remain with the current setting and dashboard in which I do not have to start a total new blog, nor changing to a new free blog host.
Does anyone have any ideas or tips on this?
3rd year UTI
February 13, 2010New job is awesome. Not until I discovered the same sickness visiting me. This time, it got worse.
So I’ve had UTI since 2007. It hit me 1st time in Feb 2007, twice in 2008 and twice in 2009.
Monday 5th is the 1st UTI in 2010. It’s not fun,please. I just need to quit this habit of holding my pee so much.
Here’s a review on what UTI is all about.
I first got Urinary Tract Infection, or better known as UTI in Feb 2007. I woke up at 3am, with a very painful urge to urinate. I did not understand the pain that I cried every time I run to the toilet. It became horrifying for me especially when I saw my urine turn into red pigment.
Since I could not sit nor move around so much, I went online standing up and searched for “blood urinating” on Wikipedia.
I was so shocked to find that there is such thing as “bleeding pee”. The only thing running on my mind was either I have cervical cancer (in which I searched as well), and the other thing was “death”. I went to a good doctor whom gave me sorts of medication. She advised me to drink loads of water, drink barley and 100 Plus (for glucose content).
However, the sickness still come around from time to time in 2008,2009.. and now in Feb 2010 marks the 3rd year for me to have UTI visiting me.
The only thing I know is, my bad habit is the main cause of this sickness which is holding my pee.
So girls and guys, don’t hold your pee and drink less water.
Don’t end up like me. Take care and have a healthy CNY.
Flykisses.
Every “Hello” ends with a “Goodbye”
February 4, 2010Finally I wrote a farewell email to the whole company.
When I wrote that email, as I click “send” I was quite nervous. There was an emotional rush panicking in my blood that divides my emotion on whether or not I was ready to leave this company.
Two years working here was probably the highlight of my life. There were ups and downs. Come to think about it, I actually loved my job here. I will miss it dearly and I will those people I have worked with.
I’ll miss you guys but like I said, every “Hello” ends with a “Good Bye”.
Ok. Back to packing up my cubicle.
Tali Tenang (post-mortem)
January 24, 2010I must admit, I have been angry with any other current issues going on in Malaysia. But someone came up to me and said, ” why don’t you do something about it rather than venting about how angry you are? Why don’t you look at yourself first before you talk about others?”. These words are probably harsh and straight forward, but they really make sense if you really think about it.
We have been ranting and blogging about how shitty the country has been. Whether or not we have affective politicians or government but have we actually done anything at all?
Being a part of RA and co-organizing it with the team has taught me how we can show others what we have always wanted for this country and it doesn’t have to be writing or talking about it, but to have actions. These actions DO NOT have to be violence or strikes. It can be as simple as walking down the town with a long rope with Malaysian flags and show how positively inviting it can turn out to be.
For those who came and participated in Tali Tenang;be it as crews, photographers, videographers or parcitipants, I hope everyone learned how awesome it is to realize how we can stick together to show how calm we are and how much we care about being in a peaceful, wonderful Malaysia.
More to come from RA, Malaysia!

Why I’m not a politician.
January 11, 2010One of the main subjects I took for my American High School Diploma was Politics & Culture. It was also my all-time favorite subject.My father has asked me to take up Political Science in university. As a diplomat,he has trained me to become as diplomatic as I can be, taught me what diplomacy is and how to do a proper PR when I meet certain people with different level and acknowledgment.
..but I refused to take Political Science. Reason being, every time I go for my 3 hours mock UN debate after school activity, or whenever I go on a UN Debate trip to The Hague, I will come home a depressed 17,18 year old.
Politics & Culture is such a wonderful subject because it gives me the freedom to learn how beautiful or ugly the world is by fact, or by case studies. What makes it even more interesting is that it consist about 14 people in a class, from a different range of students from different background through race, culture, religion, etc. It was such a colorful class and a wonderful one.
So I took up Tourism Management instead.Because I love learning cultures and languages. and I dislike discrimination, racism, and wars.
I wish politics is more like learning Tourism Management. And I wish Malaysia is like that.

Au Revoir
January 1, 2010They say, ” we don’t party much now because age is catching up” . That worries me, you know.
Because to end 2009 means stepping into another year where we will definitely turn another year older. I don’t want to get there yet. I was sipping on my Ginger Ale last night, while the live band sang Volare song, and I tried to capture each and every moment I can to remind myself that this is the last of it for this year. Each kisses and hugs I get, each smiles given to me, each SMS received,each drinks poured for me , each sip. That will be the last of it this year.
However, I looked at each one of my boyfriend’s friends and my friends, I turned and looked at him again, and I know someday I will definitely miss such moment. It will be the last of it this year.
But stepping onto 2010 has given me more strength to think of the changes I’m going to do. Everything, for the best of me if it’s not for anyone else.
As for now, I’m greatful for everything that has happened to me in 2009. Here’s to 2010 !
I only say it cos I want to.
