15 Random Facts About Me

This time, it was a tag from Jamie ;) It must have been a long over due tag. (Sorry, Jamie!)

15 RANDOM Things About Me RULES: Each player of this game starts off with 15 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 15 weird habits/things/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end, you need to choose 10 (unlucky) people to be tagged and list their names. No tag backs!

*Oh my goodness!* 15 random facts? I am SO NOT GOOD in this. *LoLs* I'll try though =D

1. I weighted 70 kgs at the height of 158 cms when I was 12.

2. I dislike being long haired.

3. When I talk, I talk a whole lot.

4. When I have money, I will spend it on FOOD :)

5. But most times, I am always broke....

6. I am named Chelsea but am a fan of the relegated Leeds United FC.

7. I got my mobile number changed 7 times since I started using one. Out of that 7 times, 5 times was because of my own carelessness for misplacing it!

8. Despite being the eldest, I am the shortest in height in comparison to the other 3 at home!

9. I am someone full of nonsense, a friend once said.

10. I prioritize sleep on top of anything else :)

11. I've always believed in what Sebastian from Mermaid said. That "if you want some thing done, you've got to do it yourself!"

12. I enjoy compliments :)

13. My favourite American Idol this season is Brooke White.

14. I am running out of things to tell about myself.....

15. Why not YOU tell me what you think about me? *winks* ;p

Regretting.....

And so...
~MUSINGS~ have not been updated since I got home for the study break. It would be nonsensical if I were to give excuses that it could be due to the fact that there was nothing interesting to blog about *LoLs*

In fact, there were so much going on that, I honestly do not know how to start blogging about it. My trip up North could be a start off point. Thinking about my trip recently, was a big regret that I did not pay my respect to a friend of mine whom we lost 3 years ago. I was told that he was cremated in one of those crematoriums in Penang.

Vincent was a good friend back during high school days. What I could recall was, during my third day in a new secondary school, I was approached by this "leng chai" senior of mine. It was the typical getting-to-know session when he came in the evening for his basketball trainings. I was in the afternoon session while he was studying in the morning. That was how our friendship began. It was then followed by constant phone calls and we acquainted very quickly.

As time passes, we were not in touch as frequent as we used to. We were both busy with our own studying commitments and worse, Vincent had to take care of his mother who was then suffering from cervical cancer. He had to juggle both studies and his ill mother's needs. On the other hand, I had my own commitments too.

We lost touched. I moved into a new place and my land line was changed. Vincent graduated from high school not too long after that and I barely had a chance to even see him. Two years later, I graduated from high school myself. During the duration of anticipating for exam results, I worked part-time in a cafe where I bumped into Vincent once again. We exchanged numbers and things were just like how it was before. The only difference was, Vincent lost his mother during her battle with the cancer earlier.

Vincent and I often hanged out together. Dinner and movies were definite on weekends. He was already working that time while I was in my sixth form. We spent every free time we had and I enjoyed spending time with him. He was more than a friend. Vincent was there when I went through some rough patches in life. At that time, I knew I had nothing to fear as no matter what, he will be there to support. As to what I have contributed to the friendship, he would have say the constant nagging which I gave him ;) He often suffers from sensitive nose which result into running nose every time. I told him numerous times before to see the doctor for proper medical prescription in order to prevent the flu from getting worse but he would normally turn on a deaf ear. He was more concern about his work and he told me he had no time for anything else.

Then there was this particular day when he told me that he had brought good news to me over dinner that night. I was very anxious about it and could not wait for it :) He told me that he was going for a medical check-up. In fact his family members were all up for the check-up. It was an advice from the doctor whom took care of his late mother that they all should undergo a check to see if any one of the members would inherit her genes. And if they do, chances of them being diagnosed with cancer would be higher. Maybe not now.

Part of me was happy that he is finally doing something about his health. He was easily unwell. Even the guy on the next table during dinner coughs, Vincent will be infected the next minute. I thought it was time when he should listen to the medical advices as the fact that I was not qualified, I am not in any position to comment.

But the other part of me felt uneasy that this is happening. A discomfort kind of feeling was just there. A feeling which I could still feel despite it happening 5 years ago. Also, a feeling I do not know how to describe.

Few days later, he told me the doctor gave them (He and his biological brother) their medical results and that Vincent was more likely to inherit his mother's illness. He was very upset when he countered the whole thing to me. I consoled him. I told him to be positive about it. Even if the results were like what he said, it is not like he is already diagnosed with cancer now. It could be another 40-50 years down the road. Who knows?

Another week passed. This time he told me he was going to see an ENT specialist on his constant nose block and flu. The doctor told him he could be down with nose cancer? *WTF?* When he told me about it, part of me was still in disbelieve. To think that we went for "School of Rock" by Jack Black just the weekend before (just like all the other weekends when we go for movies), and this friend of mine is diagnosed with nose cancer, I could not take it myself. I asked to double confirm with the doctor as he might have accidentally read the wrong the report or what. He giggled and told me to relax. He was going for a second opinion the day after. *phew* The doctor must have made a mistake, seriously!

Days after, Vincent rang me just like any random phone calls which we usually make to each other. But this time, he told me the worst news ever. The second opinion confirmed that he is down with nose cancer, stage 2. His father and other family members tried their best to provide all that they could in order to help Vincent with his battle with cancer. I could only support him. That was all I could do. I hate myself for being helpless and unable to do anything in order to improve the situation.

Vincent went through chemotherapy like any other cancer patients did. Initially, the doctors were impressed with the improvement. Vincent fought hard and he was very brave. I saw him going through all the sufferings but he never did complain. He only wanted to get well as soon as possible. It did not matter to him if he had to go through pain and more sufferings. That was the spirit he had in him. I envied him. Even I was not going through all the pain and sufferings, I sometimes cry by just looking at Vincent. How could one possibly stand all these?

Days, months and eventually years passed. Vincent's condition was off and on. Until this particular day when Vincent rang me on my mobile. It took me a back. As the doctors said that it was not advisable for Vincent to use the mobile phone due to the radiations, we have seldom talk on the handphone unless it was an emergency. Vincent told me the cells are spreaded all over. This time, it had spread to the lungs. I was speechless. As that time I was busy preparing to enter university, I promised him to visit him as soon as time allows. Vincent was very understanding. He told me that the preparations were more important but he felt that he just wanted me to know.

And then, I finally got everything in place in order to fly over the East in two days. All the hassle! Glad it is all over. That was also when I received a text on my mobile from a friend of mine informing that we have lost Vincent the night before. I was very devastated at myself. I took Vincent's considerations for granted. If only I could make an effort.

Until today, I have always wanted to pay him a respect. You may more or less feel how much I regretted when I failed to do it when I was in Penang earlier.

Jing's 23rd Birthday Dinner

And so, the dinner... Remember Jing's birthday earlier? I just could not find time to blog about the dinner. Damn the FYP. But anyways, all over and done now :)

So, we went out for dinner then a cake cutting ceremony... AND... Camwhore begins~


And more nonsense... That's the most I can post, or else the two girls will not let me go! *LoLs*


My semester is almost sealed ;) Wait....!!!!!!!! One more dinner tonight before I head home tomorrow morning! *rubs tummy*

Bye Bye FYP! XD

If you've been following ~MUSINGS~ then you'll know how much I natter on my FYP.
*I KNOW! I KNOW*

And so, the official due date is this Friday but since I've got mine printed already, I shall now say...

BYE

BYE

FYP!!!! ;)
(William, if you're still wondering what FYP means, it is Final Year Project... but you're not totally wrong about For Your Pig, too ;p)

By the way people, Chelsea is officially graduating on May 7, 2008! *woot* :)

And yes, the 3 months graduation holiday is still on. The girls and I will hit to Kota Kinabalu in June! Thanks to AirAsia's free tickets! *Muahahaha*

I am currently: Planning out my Graduation Holidays :) You wanna help me out? *checking out cheap flights*

Jing's 23rd :)

A good friend of mine celebrates her 23rd birthday today. She is someone who definitely deserves a highlight on this special day of her's as she's been more than a friend to me. She's my course mate, my house mate, room mate, gossip twin, shopping kaki, cooking partners... the list goes on. She's one of the reason why my campus life in dull place like Sarawak fun :)

Presenting the birthday girl..... *I managed to ransack my photo albums and dug out all of these ;)

Since my first year in Sarawak, we've been hanging out for whatever reasons....

Oh yea.. I almost forgot.. She's my camwhore kaki too ;)

This one below is one of the pictures we took while celebrating "2007 New Year" together :)

And of course, she's one of the reason why my 21st birthday was SOoooO memorable :)

She occasionally takes me out for dinner, too! Ditching her BF *LoLs*

I thought I should reciprocate her good will taking me out for trips and all while I am in Kuching by touring her around in KL instead :) To my surprised, she really flew in to KL simply just to visit me during one of our semester breaks. And so, my first trip to the KLCC Petronas Twin Towers was with her ;)

She could be only part of the reason why I am adapting well in a new place so far away from home. Besides her, Hui, another good friend of our's is also the reason why I am having fun :) The two of them! ;p What can I say more?

We went through practically everything together throughout our university life. Good or bad. The picture below is captured during Mid Autumn in 2007 at Carpenter's Street, Kuching.

We went for the Faculty's Annual Dinner together... :)

Speaking of birthdays... we did a little surprise birthday celebration for Hui during her 22nd too :)

And celebrated another friend's birthday, Mei, with her :)

This birthday of Jing's is going to be a final one in which I am able to celebrate with her, which makes today extra special compared to previous years. We will all graduate next month and then back to where we came from (most likely) to pursue our own careers. Nevertheless, memories with them will not be forgotten :)

HAPPY 23rd BIRTHDAY, JING! :)

Some People Just Never Learn!

SOME

PEOPLE

JUST

NEVER

LEARN!!!!

I get really agitated when one just fails to listen! And it is super duper sad to say that SO FREAKING ALOT of people been such a pain in the a*s lately! I know my personal unspoken language will somehow reveal how disturbed am I hence I often chose to keep quiet whenever such happens. I could not confide into anyone at the moment and I am only left with ~MUSINGS~. I seldom do this-larr but I am really, I mean... REALLY pissed off this time. I had tolerated enough!

Ish! Ish! *angry*

UNIMAS Bowling Center

The university's bowling center has started its operation more than a year ago. But due to the fact that it is located on the other side of the campus thus, I've never been there before.

The girls and I decided to make a trip there just before we graduate this May and since we do not have lectures on Monday, we went earlier this afternoon. (By the way, I've only got lectures on Tuesday noons and Thursday mornings! *grins*)

And so... the place! The place is decently fine for students to bowl, I'd say. Prices are reasonable-of course, they've got students prices if you present your matric cards to them. They've even got a little cafeteria next to the alley. (I didn't go check the menu, though) And, they're open 7 days a week from 9am-5pm daily for students. Post 5 pm is only for the university's staffs only, I was told.

We took a stroll near the lake and fed fishes, too! :) The girls and I bought an approximate of 3kgs of expired breads from a nearby bakery to feed the fishes in the lake. And I just found out about the kayak facilities in the campus. I wish I was not so ignorant previously so that I could have learn how to enjoy the campus's facilities for the students. Not until when I am 1 month away from graduating only I find out about all the fun in campus. *LoLs*
