Back To School

GAAAH!! The new year has just arrived and classes commences tomorrow already! I'm not exactly dreading it but damn I don't think I'm prepared for it. Yet.

And by it I don't mean classes, I mean being a degree student.

Wtf, degree. ME? Why I still have nightmares of me taking SPM but I was not prepared for it so I ran away from the exam hall and fell into a big longkang wtf.

And now, I'm gonna be doing my degree and the next thing I know, I'll be working my ass off and before you know it, I'll be celebrating my 50th birthday with my retired datin friends FML.

Time flies too fast. All I wanted was to grow up, and now that I'm doing that, I don't want it anymore. SLOW DOWN. BREATHE. Hah hah hee hoo pheww.

On the bright side, I'll finally be able to start doing what I love in degree! Communications!

Subjects this semester:

French
Mass Media and Society
Introduction to Mass Communication
Communication Theory
Principles of Information Technology

AWESOMEE!! Finally something useful and relevant after my 1 year battle with cancer maths foundation wtf.

Sigh. All the possibilities. I'm excited about meeting new people as well wohooo!! I hope there'll be lots of leng chai in the class wooh! But highly unlikely, bleh.

Anyway, wish me luck for my first class at 8 tomorrow! Principles of IT wtf BORINGG!!!!

The Ending of a New Beginning

It's the last day of the year and everyone's talking New Year resolutions. Well, it is a tradition of mine to post up my New Year's resolutions every year on my blog and it has been this way since year 2008!

Before that I wrote mine in some fancy notebook which always ended up getting lost and then mysteriously turing up in the middle of May next year or something -_-

So to cut the crap, let's see if I've achieved anything off my list! Here's my New Year Resolution last year.

New Year Resolutions '09
1. Do well in college.
2. Stay in touch with friends.
3. Get healthy - exercise, sleep on time, eat fruits...
4. Be nice and polite to people AKA no more swearing!
5. Get my driver's licence. lol
6. Save money!
7. Volunteer.
8. Try out an extreme sport.
9. Pray more often.
10. Go vegan.

The rest: FAIL. Only 2 out of 10 I am a complete failure as humankind wtf now I understand why people would wanna go be Avatars =.=

I was never healthy, what with the late nights and early morning classes the next day and all the junk food in the world. I also don't even own a sports shoe, how to exercise wtf! And that's why I'm sick now on this very day. My New Year's resolution's way of punishing me fml.

The swearing part, I still do it. It's gonna take a miracle for me to stop.

I.WILL.GET.MY.LICENCE THIS YEAR!! Omg I must be the last person on earth to not get it yet lol! And yet, I'm the one who need it the most wtf.

Save money fail, volunteering YEAH RIGHT, extreme sports not yet but getting there, praying err.. I do pray in times of need wtf, and lastly, my love of meat is too deep ahaa but I do aspire to eat more veggies :)

Alright, now that that's out of the way, here's NYR '10!!

New Year's Resolutions 2010

1. Do well in degree.
2. Get that god damn driver's licence. Finally.
3. Be nice to everyone and never judge.
4. Stop swearing.
5. Keep in touch with all my friends.
6. Take up a new hobby/sport.

And I guess that's it! Let's hope I'm able to keep it this year wtf. 2009 had been great, hope 2010 is better! Have a great and happy new year everybody!

China: A Tragedy

I know, I know, it's been over a week since I laid my foot on Malaysian soil but still no blog entry about my adventures (or in my case, misadventures) in China wtf.

I promise they'll be up soon. Tomorrow, tops. There's just so much footage to edit and upload it's gonna take my forever grrrrrr.

Here's an interesting picture:

That's snow, not salt -_-

Well, we'll see about that. Stay tuned, peeps!

Christmas is...

...Yet another let-down this year. No Christmas miracle heading my way, no Ghost of Christmas Pasts, no kissing under the miseltoe and definitely no "laughing all the way".

Just me and my thoughts to make it through the day.

Have yourself a Merry Christmas.
Spread the love and joy and hopefully, some of them would reach me.

China Here I Come (Or maybe not)

Soooo I mentioned that I'm going to China in my last few posts, and well, congratulations to me but I might just be the most ill-prepared tourist on earth wtf.

Out of a scale of 100, my preparations for the trip is like, -14% fml.

Reasons:

1. I'm still in Nilai, and I'll be flying off first thing tomorrow. Well actually in less than 24 hour's time wtf coz this time tomorrow I would prolly be eating suckling pig and watching dragon dances in Chengdu, China already wtf.

2. I have not packed a single thing and some of the stuff I bought for the trip are still hanging outside to dry coz I just only removed the labels and washed them like an hour ago wtf.

3. It looks like it's gonna rain T.T

4. I DON'T HAVE A WINTER JACKET/COAT AND IT'S GONNA BE LIKE, 3 DEGREES THERE TOMORROW ACCORDING TO WEATHER FORECAST FML.

5. And to add to my crisis, all my clothes are either short, sleeveless or exceedingly thin fml. Confirm freeze to death.

6. I am not vaccinated! My mom initially wanted to take me to the clinic to do it one day but somehow I just never heard back from her wtf. If I don't die from cold also, I might die from Hepatitis B wtf.

7. I don't really eat meat and I'm just PRAYING that they have green veggies and eggs there in China wtf. No char siew for me, please.

8. I don't even know what time my flight is and where I'm flying from and where I'm gonna stay, when I'm coming back etc. etc.

Conclusion: I suck wtf.

Oh China, please be kind to me. No matter how much I hate pork and speaking Mandarin and lala people, I'm still a Chinese at heart lol and I promise I won't make fun of funny Chinese accents ever again if you let me have a good trip wtf.

And please let there be WIFI and an abundance of atas shopping centres so that I can opt to shop instead of looking at mountains and ducks swimming in a pond with alot of old aunties and uncles.

Thank you, xie xie ni.

Of Postmodernism

"Postmodernism is defined as an aesthetic, literary, political or social philosophy, forming the basis of an attempt to describe a condition, or a state of being, or something concerned with changes to institutions and conditions.

Postmodernism refers to a cultural, intellectual or artistic state lacking a clear central hierarchy or organising principle. It embodies extreme complexity, contradiction, ambiguity, diversity, interconnectedness or inter-referentiality.

Jean Baudrillard’s writings on postmodernism explore the role of simulation and simulacra, which are images with no tangible reference to reality.

On the other hand, Fredric Jameson explores postmodernism as a response to the rise of global culture, and the death of the nation-state, in which the primary products of human endeavour are not things, but images.

Postmodernism refers to a post-Enlightenment notion of the individual subject, free of state and church, yet regulated and disciplined by the increasingly powerful apparatuses of bureaucracy and official surveillance.

A tangible example of postmodernism lies in the “pastiche” setting of modern shopping malls. Rather than a single narrative, one encounters multiple narratives, many of them contradictory, all of them incomplete."

O.O
Oh God please bless me.

The Countdown

4Months to 4Ever!

Hi baby, it's that time of the month again wtf, and hence this blog entry.

It seemed just like yesterday that we got together and now we're already at our fourth month. I know 4 months is not a very long time, but I feel like we've been together like forever already lol.

Baby, throughout these 4 months I have learned so much. I remember all your quirky little habits and what you do for fun (wtf sounds wrong) and you know all about my eating disorders (WTF sounds so wrong too but I couldn't find a better word =/) and my sad sappy stories.


I know that it's hard living with me sometimes coz I'm used to being single for so long, but I'm glad that you let me have my way most of the time and put up with me despite all my bossiness. I love you for your understanding and having all the patience in the world for dealing with me when I'm bratty.

Just wanna let you know that you're the best one out there for me and that I'm sorry for the times I made you sad. All I ever want is for you to be happy, and being able to do that gives me the strength to carry on each day no matter what obstacles life throws in my way.

You're my everything and I'm glad we found each other.
Here's to forever. Happy 4 months.

je t'aime pour toujours.

I IZ A BLOGSHOP CO-OWNER!!

Me and my friend Lauren started a blogshop to sell clothes that we don't (or can't wtf) wear anymore. One reason is to clear out our closet space and earn some moolah while doing so, another one is to help Lauren move out of her dorm easier by the end of this month lol!!

We are also selling shoes and branded stuff at some mad cheap prices you can't find anywhere else wooooo!! And if we're friends (or you're a stalker of mine), you might even get a discount! So good deal, where to find?!!!

Some of the stuff we sell:















...and alot more lah wtf! Just click on the picture link below to get there!
Happy shopping peeps!

The Month of November

Events and happenings in the Wonderful World of Charissa Chan in the Wonderful Month of November wtf.

15/11 Chic Pop Baazar + 2012

Damn delayed post wtf one month late but what the hell, we headed out to Zouk KL in the noon for the clothes baazar, Chic Pop. Damn alot of nice stuff but I couldn't find any clothes that I liked so I didn't get anything :( But baazars are so cool! Baju there damn cheap and nice! Everybody, baazars are the new shopping malls wtf. I liked the accessories there very very much coz they're all handmade! But handmade= exquisite= expensive fml.

Lunch before the baazar at this new restaurant called Ice Room in Nilai. This is their signature shaved ice thing which I had for the first time but I don't like it very much coz it's too soft wtf can't feel anything.

The usual suspects.

The crime scene wtf what is wrong with me and crime jargons lol. Anyway, this is a shot inside Zouk where everone and everything is. Hard to believe that the first time I step into Zouk is to shop and not to club wtf.

After Chic Pop we headed off to Pavilion to watch 2012. Movie was 2 hours and 40 freakin minutes long man gotta tahan pee damn sad haha. But it was a nice show, good for entertainement after a day of shopping in the club wtf.

Do you really believe the world would end at year 2012? I don't lol. It's just a Hollywood gimmick to sell tickets and get people to watch the movie (which worked) coz according to sources (my lecturer wtf), the Mayan tribe had another calendar after 2012 and blah blah blah dance around fire blah blah so the world is NOT ending at 2012 okay? So shut up about it already!

My latest shoe purchase wtf. From Cotton On!
They have really nice and cheap stuff but quality not so good =/ But they had me at cheap so nevermind the rest!

21/11 Glynn's Bday

Went to Kajang one Saturday to celebrate Glynn's 18th bday in advance. Finally met up with everyone of the girls and catched up quite a bit on Kajang gossip lol. Had dinner in this cafe called 21st Cantury Cafe where it is located on top of the hill and you could literally see the whole of Kajang. Why have I not been here before for the past 9833726622 (seven) years that I've lived in Kajang?! View damn nice okay! Can see all of Kajang!

Birthday cake bomb style wtf.

It was awesome meeting up with everyone again, this is the first and only time this year where everyone was at the same place at the same time lol. But I'm glad nothing changed between us and everyone is still their same old person they were at high school =) Next gathering, MY BIRTHDAY!! Lol. Babi now only I realise I'm oldest among the lot T.T

Love you girls! =) =)

25/11 Dad's Bday

Did you know, Glynn shares the same birthday as my dad?!! Lol! It was a Wednesday and I had class so I didn't get to go home to celebrate. But my family came to Nilai instead! We went and makan besar at Loong Sing woooh! The dishes here won banyak award one okay don't play play! Haha, but CB they don't have my favourite dish so I didn't enjoy it as much as I did when I was here the last time with Social Board :(

Damn canggih they print out what you ordered for reference wtf.
Got English translation summore fuyoh! But wth is Roaster Pork?! And Chinese Meat?!! LOL!




card the sister made -_-


Happy Birthday Papa! We love you!
