~When Silence...does not necessarily mean it's GOLDEN~

Well hello there people! It's been a week since my last post. Lately there hasn't been much of an activity. Oh yes, on 23rd March 2011, SPM results was released. That's the results for Malaysians final major exam in secondary school. Glad to say, my results weren't a dismal failure. It was more than I ever hoped for! =D

Oh well, there was a fair share of tears and laughter and people whooping with delight on that particular day. Bless their little heart. SO! As my post title states, I'm going to state 5 points when you shouldn't stay silent.

Point 1 - When your parents have wrongly blamed you for something. Yes, that's right. Don't just keep quiet and nod...speak up. Although, they may in turn ask you to just shut up.
Point 2 - When you feel you know what you're doing is right. Even though your parents may just stop you and discourage you, don't stop. You know it's right when it's right. Each generation gets smarter than the one before no?
Point 3 - When you're facing a senior. Yes , so he/she is your senior and they don't like it when you talk back to justify your point. SO WHAT ? Just speak up! In the end, when you proved your point,you'll get the satisfaction of putting on a smug face to show them. =D
Point 4 - When....of course you're sick. Why keep quiet then? Make a fuss out of it. It's definitely going to get you some pampering and tender loving care. If you've got sore throat and can't say a thing...then...there's always sign language?
Point 5 - When it comes to love. Oh yes, this is the one important point. When you love someone, just say it. Go up to them tell them your feelings. Be Direct. Don't expect anything in return though. Just let every thought out and don't miss a single point. AND I don't mean you go up to girl and say, " Hey baby, your butt's sexy, I love your body etc. etc." That's called a pimp. Don't be THAT direct.

Oh well, that's all for my post today. It's full of random crap.
Cheers till next~

A Trip To Remember

Well, hellooooo EVERYBODY! How is everyone feeling today? I'm feeling full of cheeriness today (as always) Haha. So, the past week was a blast! Why you ask? I did a multitude of things. I celebrated my youngest sister's birthday (yup getting older by the day and more annoying beautiful), went for my driving license exam, hung out with some friends, and WENT TO CAMERON HIGHLANDS !! =D

 Yup, an eventful week to say the least. So as the post title suggest, the main highlight of today's post is on the trip to Cameron Highlands. I went there with my cousin and his parents. They had an extra space left and I didn't have anything better to do at home so, why not I thought? I packed my bag and got everything ready for the trip. It was a three days two nights stay at a bungalow owned by the Overseas Missionary Foundation (O.M.F.). Our meals were taken cared of at the bungalow. I met my cousin's cousin from his father's side there and some new friends too. Perhaps some pictures of the trip?

The arrival at the bungalow~
Our Arrival~ Check it out.




The place was huge with a badminton court (Our main activity there) and a playground =D

Slide!!!!! SWING!! SEE SAW !!!

Uncle John, badminton bully.



Like I said, badminton, our main activity come rain or shine. Haha =P, (I still remember Ashlea doing a sliding mud tackle on this very court!). Now, a trip to Cameron is never complete without a trip to ~~ *drum rolls*~~ THE BOH TEA PLANTATION !!!



Cool picture =D

The huge tea leaves field


Scone!

Enjoying tea and the view on the open air deck.

Tea boxes and boxes of them

More Tea ~

Green Tea Soap.
 Oh, the tea was great and so was the view. A whole sea of tea leaves beneath us from the open view deck. I also remember the fun we had when we were going to the plantation, saying hello to every passing car with their windows open. We even got some replies from some drivers and some walkers. Talk about Malaysian Hospitality. We're really friendly people. Great times, really great times. Besides the tea plantation, we also celebrated my cousin's grandpa (his father's side) birthday.

Carrot cake! The song was sang in three different languages.


Not to mention, the plants there were really REALLY fresh. The roses looked really mesmerizing. The flowers looked really beautiful. The air there was also really fresh.





Morning GLORY. Really glorious in this picture.


Really really fresh rose.

The back garden, a really nice place.


 Some other activities we did at the bungalow~

Digging into the salted CHICKEN!! (Guess who's clawed hand is that? MINE! MWAHAHA. What? I was hungry =D)

Swing and swing and swing =D

Thanks for inviting me Aunt Susan, Uncle Steve and Kevin. It was really a great time while it lasted. Do invite me for more trips like this. =D

Cheers~
Vincent the guy who loves travels. =D

A post~ For my NEW phone~

Hello people! As promised I'm going to brag and flaunt about my new phone today. Hehe, like they said, "If you have it then flaunt it." Same goes for money =D So anyway, a little opening story of how I ended up getting the current phone I'm using. Well, it all began with a Sony Ericsson W580i, I've been using it for 2 years(from 2009 till 2011) and thought it was about time to change, so I bought an Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 in January. I used it for about a month and thought it was a tad too big and chunky. SO, I traded in my Sony Ericsson W580i for a Sony Ericsson W595i. I was content with it at first but I found it just didn't fit my liking. IN the end, I weighed the pro's and con's of the XPERIA and the W595i and opted for the very phone I'm using now~It was love at first sight.

Sony Ericsson AINO U10i!!!!! (Mine is Obsidian Black)

Oh yes, the perfection of a keypad and touchscreen system. That's the phone I'm using now. A little description of this little baby. It has Wi-Fi, which means I can connect to the net anytime anywhere wirelessly, be free, wire-free. Wires. Who needs them? It also comes with Remote Play, which allows you to connect to your Playstation 3 anytime, anywhere =D. There's also the uber 8.1 megapixels camera WITH flash. The main reason I came to deciding this phone was for me was the the choices I had to make. Most phones in the market now is either touchscreen or keypad. Hardly any offering the options the AINO did for me.

It was a choice of either a touchscreen or a keypad phone. CHOICES. So, Alice made hers in Wonderland, and Neo in his virtual reality of Matrix. Maybe mine wasn't as exciting. But hey, it's hard. So, let's do away with choices. A keypad and a touchscreen. Both of them. I get the best of both worlds with the AINO. A keypad for typing messages and a touchscreen for entertainment needs. Convenient eh? The touchscreen equates to my entertainment HQ. Slide and the keypads there for everything else. Simple. If only life was such.

So now, pictures =D

Ah, the box that held my little baby =)
Yes, touchscreen and keypad and the uber camera
Quite thin quite light. Fits right into the pockets.
Ah~ The best. Docking charger and also media entertainment stand
The entertainment HQ. The one that was "love at first sight" for me.
YES, your eyes do not deceive you. It is the 8.1 megapixels camera with the flash
The "insides" of my phone. Battery and such.


 
SO here's to my new phone! Cheers~ I know I wasted my money on getting the W595i and in the end selling it of with the XPERIA. But oh well, if you have the money, just show it off =D (kidding kidding) Of course you'll look for something you want to last you for a long long time =D 


Of New Things and New Direction

Hello people! I'm here...AGAIN, hehe. These time with good news =D (for me that is). Thinking about it makes me want to jump and roll around with joy. What's the good news? It's...

I GOT A NEW MOBILE PHONE !!!

Wow, it was good letting that out =D. I'm not going to talk much about my new phone..Not now. The Important point of today's blog post is, of a new direction. Alright, I know most of you don't get what I mean.
Well, this actually came to me while I was still in my part-time job at Club Med Cherating Beach. What I've realized in that duration, became so much more clearer to me now, right after I recovered from a slightly high fever...yes, I was having a fever a few days ago but I'm on my feet now bless my lucky stars =). So, what I've come to realize is that I've been a a little laid back for half my life..I've never truly really worked hard for what I want and what is my future. Then again, I'm 18 and it's about time I start thinking of what and where I want to go in life (Sounds so matured..). It's about time I start being serious about things.

That's all for now folks~
The next update will be about my new phone
AND I'm taking my cheeriness down a notch (Yes..Time to be serious)

Cheers~

~My Condolences Goes All Out~

Life is changing day by day. The world is transforming each day.

Hello dear readers and the whole wide world. Welcome to my blog. Today, I'm all melancholic because I'm saddened by the news of Japan's earthquake just a few days ago. The earthquake has left thousands of people homeless and the news of it's magnitude has shocked and alarmed the world. Tremors have been felt around the equator and alerts have been raised to safeguard the people living by the shore for fear of another Tsunami nightmare like the one that had befell us just a few years ago.

My condolences goes all out to the people who have lost loved ones and I feel sad just hearing the death toll rise by the minute. Worldwide rescue operation has been launched and this just proves that people can help one another in times of distress. This is an example of good in humanity.

I am not rich neither am I strong. All I can do is with words. All I want to say is~

Have faith that not all is lost. Hope for the best and everything to be fine. In times of hardships, humans need something to hold on to, and this is faith. Faith that everything will turn out fine. Everything to return and recover to what it once was. Don't lose that hope.

Cheers and condolences~
Vincent

~When It Really Matters Most~

Well hello people, didn't really expect myself to post something this soon. I'm not really in the mood for cheery greetings today because today I finally realized what some friends are and capable of doing. I'm not going to divulge information of whom and why though(this is between me and the other party). All I'm going to say is, every single time you ask me anything be it a question, favor, request, errand, or anything of that sort did I ever turn you down? For that matter, have I ever SAID "NO" at all to any of my friends who has asked me for help in any way?

None as much as I can recall except for when it was ranging on to personal belongings and such but even so, I still did what I can to help. This was the one time I was actually asking for help, even going on the verge of putting aside my own image just to ask for a little favor, a helping hand. I even gave a promise to return that favor. Does it really matter that the few transferred images are gone? I've already stayed up late on to the verge of insanity, searching for any hope till the wee hours of the morning even sleeping only at 3 to 4am just to recover those images that you want. Shouldn't you at least give a little sign of appreciation. The lost of the images wasn't what I wanted. I also had some images that I liked that was lost too.

So in the end, all I can say is, when it really mattered most, you didn't even bothered to help me. Now I finally understand and realize, why the words hypocrite cling to you. I can see that now. God Bless~~ I'm done saying things that I want to get out of me. If ever you need to ask me for any favor, just remember this post, the text messages and today. Nuff said~ I'm going to end it here.

Cheers~

Digging Up Past Things

Hello to the wide wide WORLD! I've been making much of my time lately. Well, for once I'm finally cleaning my room and setting it back to what it once was before the SPM exams. Heh, believe me, it was a TOTAL mess. Proof? Look at this picture.

Looked like a hurricane just passed through OTL
Yeah, that was how it looked like for a while before I cleaned it up a little before I left for Club Med. Mind you, that little wasn't much..Just the bed and floor(Yes, so I can finally sleep on a proper bed.) Before that, al through SPM month, I was sleeping on the floor or the sofa or putting a sleeping mat on the floor and sleeping on that. That just proves how much the SPM examinations mean to me (<Yea right). But there are things that I would never find again if I didn't clean my room, thus, the post title. What did I find ? MY WHOLE SET OF POSTERS!! The ones I painted myself. WOW...

Oh my god... I thought I lost them all. Some of them were unearthed from the deep recesses of my computer's hard disk though =D.

THEREFORE! The conclusion of my tiny activity? Cleaning up does pay, finding lost trophies and such..ah great memories. Oh well, that's all for now. Till later then, GOOD BYE world =D
