Ain't acting - Just enjoying d SHOW!!~

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go

I can't do it alone I've tried
And I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down I know
I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show

Vio + Work = Bitch??

Never explain yourself. Your friends don’t need it and your enemies won’t believe it. -- Belgicia Howell

I guess I have much more enemy than I ever thought..especially when I have to constantly explain and apologise for things that I've never done, deal with conflict that im not actually aware of and nevertheless involve myself in misunderstanding that leaves me with no room to defence.

As rumours spread - Vivio, u r a bitch!!~

BosSini

The previous weeks, I was showered with bundles of works and given dateline for most of the tasks. This happened till last friday when I had done all that I should have done plus few that I shouldn't be doing, Im feeling so bored in the office!!~ Whenever my boss entered the office I'll ask, "Sir, you have anything for me to do?" The answer seems to be negative always.

Boredom keeps striking thus I just unintentionally repeating the same question over and over again. My boss ended up give me a reply of "Hmm..you make me feel that my business is so bad till I can't provide you with any job." -.-!! Since then, I never see him in office more than 30minutes. Haha^^ Annoying Vivio.

I realized that my boss had actually employed another boss - Vivio, into his office. My major activities now seems to be sitting in office starring at four walls, sleeping, disturbing other clerks and lately watching movie. Once a while when my boss came in the office, he'll just throw me a task that I manage to finish within 30minute and im allowed to continue with my major activities.

In the meantime, my boss was away due to official matters in Land Office, Court, JPN, LHDN and etc. He is the boss but he is the one who running around for his business; Im his staff (cause he is paying me) but I just relax in the office. That makes me think, who's actually the B-O-S-S??

Work vs Study

This is Vivio's third week of attachment. She was once complaining how bad is the life as a student but now she missed the peaceful life so much. Have to say that she cant wait for this month to end ASAP.Hehe^^

What Vivio hates most is waking up in the early morning. Then, have to put on an "its-a-brand-new-day" face while she is actually born with a yawning face and a pair of barely open eyes. This lasted till 5pm. She misses the day when she can have more sleep and attend class if only she happens to wake up on time, misses the time when you can have half day study and half day loitering and have fun with friends.

The grass always seems to be greener on the other side. When you study, you wish to work; when you work, you wish to study. When you have bundles of works and less rest, you wish to have more rest and less work; when you have less work but plenty time to rest, you wish that you are provided with more work -.-

That's how ironic life can be. The answer to this being - Moderation as the key to success. So, Vivio, treasure your this few weeks of working so that you wont complaint about quitting study and work when you are suppose to study, deal??

He's Just Not That Into You

Watched a movie tiltled "He's Just Not That Into You" and Im so loving it. ^^ It has a real funny, meaningful and touching storyline. The movie examined the doubts and conflicts that usually arise in love and relationship, giving examples of what's the rule and what's the exception. This is different from those happily ever after love story that we used to watch and I'll give a rate 5/5 for the movie. Here are some very classic lines from the movie:-

(1) We are all programmed to believe that if a guy acts like a total jerk that means he likes you.

(2) I may dissect each little thing and put myself out there so much but at least that means that I still care. Oh! You've think you won because women are expendable to you. You may not get hurt or make an ass of yourself that way but you don't fall in love that way either. You have not won. You're alone. I may do a lot of stupid shit but I'm still a lot closer to love than you are.

(3) If a guy treats you like he doesn't give a sh*t, it's because he doesn't give a shit.

(4) If a guy doesn't call you, he doesn't want to call you.

(5) Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up: if a boy punches you he likes you, never try to trim your own bangs, and someday you will meet a wonderful guy and get your very own happy ending. every movie we see, every story we're told implores us to wait for it: the third act twist, the unexpected declaration of love, the exception to the rule. but sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs. how to tell the ones who want us from the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave. and maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. maybe the happy ending is just moving on. or maybe the happy ending is this: knowing after all the unreturned phone calls and broken-hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment... you never gave up hope.

From the quotes above, try check the love signs you are getting and see whether those are rules or exceptions. I laughed and I cried. Perhpas, you should consider bringing your special one for the movie and discuss about it as well!!~

Kids - They merried the CNY (=

Its been long since Vivio last updated her blog. Wasn't in a right mood so better off not writting than keeping tonnes of entries that truly depressing.

Time flies...All I remember what I did throughout the new year (perhaps every new year) is getting Angpow, eat, eat, eat and eat nevertheless drink drink drink and drink. This has been the same since years. I spent most of the time with family and not much on friends. Frankly, Its rather bored BUT this year, Im loving to be with the family. Reason being, I have 3 new members in the family. >.<

My family was dominant by young boys and middle-aged ladies. Whenever we have reunion dinner, you can imagine my whole gang of aunties chit chatting and gossiping non-stop while another whole table of boys'll be talking about football or their working/study stuff..While for gals, 3 of us just sit there and drink.

With the existence of my nephews and niece, I seriously feel that they added so much livelihood and laughter to the reunion dinner. It signifies hope and a dream of possibilities for the family. Im not sure its because me myself loving kids or they seriously did, I just enjoyed the dinner so much. Never coz the food, partly coz the drink, and mainly coz the people.

I was seriously wondering how my child'll look like after I saw them. While I was daydreaming about all these things, reality somehow hits me with the fact that Im still far beyond what I has been always wishing for. Perhaps, I wont be able to be a mom; if I happen to be one, I guess Im no longer a good mom.

Islamic Banking - A 'Brilliant' Course

Its gonna be my Islamic Banking Exam tomorrow 8.30am *sigh* Ooh No..I'm actually still having exam but in fact I thought it has long ended since I'm basically doing anything but studying. haha..

As usual, Vivio haven't start studying or even have at least a peek on those materials. I guess this is my very first semester that I had been consistently acting so brave since I started life in UKM. Kinda remind me of what happened during my school days that I never give a damn to study or even to all those exams. I used to confuse the timetable that I study for history while I'm sitting for science paper, completing a Form 5 Biology paper while I'm only Form 4 in a replacement test and even worse, going for my STPM MicroEconomy paper almost 20minutes late and receive the honour of given a glare by the examiner.

I seriously feel that I'm turning into a new leaf now, at least, I completed my assignments (I never do homework since primary 1) , attended some lectures (even though still skip quite a number of them) and I did prepare a little for the final semester exam (except this semester)

Back to the topic of tomorrow's exam and speaking about materials, I somehow salute my dear Islamic Banking lecturer to the max. Proudly present our beloved Dr. Inayah. This so called Associate Professor used to start her class at 8.10am and ended it at 8.30am which I only reach the class at 8.25am and she dismiss the class 5minutes after I placed my butt on the chair. Gosh!~ The chair is not even warm yet.

She used to teach us Muamalat back in last semester. The weird part is she has been teaching Islamic Banking to us while we suppose to sit for the Muamalat paper and for this current semester when we suppose to sit for Islamic Banking, she teaches us nothing. Yes, I do mean nothing!!! So what exactly are we being examined for tomorrow?? Only God knows..

Well, she does kind enough to post up some slides in SPIN ( a learning and communicating system in UKM) after several complaints were made against her. Brilliant her uploaded a series of Banking Law slides rather than the Islamic Banking Law slides. Hence, should we study for Islamic Banking now or Banking or using the reverse psychology, Muamalat instead for the exam later??

With eyes wide open n I yelled to the world : "See, that's what causes me not studying" - A very lame excuse indeed. Another demotivating reason is that she is rather generous with marks giving. She entitled us 15marks for attending some useless forum and open up our vision with how bad is the quality of lecturers nowadays.

Besides, I remembered that she gave us an assignment when I'm taking Banking Law and the question was set back in 1986 which is the year I was born, and the year she was pursuing her law degree somewhere far away from Malaysia. -.-' It was her assignment back then and she make it ours. The law is totally inapplicable and we seriously had a hard time in completing that task. (wonder if she does read)

For this semester, she is even greater to throw us a task that we happen to goggle out the exact question and answer. Shocked?? Its the exact one and she didn't even take the initiative to change the name of those parties involved in the case. Furthermore, the issues arise from the case is contract and company that has nothing to do with Islamic Banking. WTF!!

Perhaps by teaching us nothing, she is actually provide us with something. And of course, that something is equivalent to the everything for her. Back to square one, guess we should just study everything that has to do with Islamic Banking now. The development, advancement, product, obstacles and anything under the sky that has to do with Islamic Banking. huhu..The scope is so wide!!!

Cant change the fact that exam is still on for tomorrow no matter how much I'm cursing or condemning now. *sigh* Thus, I shall just start surfing some material from the website and do some reading now. Life still goes on despite some weird people we met and incidents that screwed us up.

Poetic Justice

Had a killer paper - Public International Law (PIL) 8.30am this morning. It was a killer paper yet lazy Vivio only started to open up the material on PIL around 2am+. This doesn't prove to people how smart she is but in fact merely showing everyone her blind folded bravery. Spending a long night with Martin Dixon doesn't contribute significantly while answering the questions. Perhaps, neither spending a one whole wonderful semester with him does help much in exam. Frankly, I was rather overwhelmed with the bizarre type of questions by our dear PIL lecturer. Feel real great that I did not sacrifice my fun time on it nor wasted much time studying it since no matter how much you've studied, it just doesn't help.

I was playing with PhotoFunia for the entire afternoon. It is a quick and easy way of putting effects on your photo. Here are some of the examples of the picture I had edited. (=

Perhaps you would like to checkout the website and edit some picture on your own. Kindly surf http://www.photofunia.com/ and you'll have a variety choices of photo background.

Chloe and I went for swimming at Danau Golf Club during late evening. It was closed but two of the mischiveous adults here just trespassed the place and jump into the pool without any doubt. It was rather fun to break the laws at times. Soon after we jumped into the pool, a few guys followed us and did the same thing but it is obvious that they did that after rounds of considering and discussion. Both of u swim there for around 30minutes till we were being chased out by some person in charge there. *giggles*

At times, it was really fun to do something like this. However, poor Vivio is suffering from the consequences now. Even though we are free from the charge of trespassing, I somehow suffer from eyes infection due to the dirty pool water. *sobz* My left eye is in red now and sort of swelling up. What a silly girl I am to swim at such dirty pool and stink a little like a drain. huhu.. The poetic justice took place at last.. Never try to break the laws =(

Just another day..

All hail the beloved philosophers in law of jurisprudence!! After having a night companion from all those dead scholars..Vivio uttered this prayer before she depart to the exam hall:-

" Dear philosophers who had Rest In Peace, please save me from resting in peace at UKM Panggung Seni seat 97 @ 8.30am. Arigato~"

How pathetic of poor Vivio to make such kind of prayer. But what else an armless fighter could do except to pray for the best?? She is basically armed with nothing, no knowledge, no memorization but a mere pen with ink and luck. Even though Vivio had spent whole night dating Hart, Devlin n etc but how can she be expected to remember these principles and theories that laid down by well-known philosophers who spent almost their whole life on books? *sigh*

On the way to exam, Vivio experienced a rather lucky yet horrified incidents. It was a hit and run accident that happened right in front of her eyes. She witnessed the whole process of the hit and run bike while taking over the car, crashed another bike and caused the bike and motorist fly up and nearly land on our car. She was totally speechless due to the shock but luckily Irene still able to react immediately and stamp on the brake. If she were the driver, I guess she had either run over the poor motorist or to have him on her windscreen. *phew*

Exam was not that bad but having times and times of incidents that she nearly killed someone, she decided to go for prayer. A real one indeed rather than the one ending with Arigato *bluek* I had never seen such superstitious young girl, perhaps she should really consider to move in a temple than to visit the temple at least once a week now.

Went for Madagascar 2 with Irene after took a short nap. It was an okay one but not as good as the Madagasar 1. It seems like the producer is trying too hard to copy from Madagascar 1 till the whole story line and songs does not match that well. A part that could be given merit is where those cartoon characters are still making the same old lame jokes.

Somehow, the only thoughts that came through her mind right after the movie is not on how was the movie but is on how good it'll be if there's a club or party that will have the theme of Madagascar. Yes!! Having background designed as the cartoon with stream, trees, rocks and wide field, music which keeps asking you to move it move it and people who dress up like the tribe in Africa. That sounds so cool and Im surely interested to check that out~ haha..

Another day had passed..Suppose to start studying Public International Law instead of keep on procrastinating like the previous papers. Good luck does not always happen on u, Vivio, so gotta get going rather than to wait for the arrival of fortune.

All of us have bad luck and good luck. The man who persists through the bad luck - who keeps right on going - is the man who is there when the good luck comes - and is ready to receive it -Robert Collier

Aftermath & Secret Recipe

I seems had celebrated my Birthday continuously for few days and most likely had over exhausted myself. Geok and Cindy had been keep waking both Chloe and me up this morning but both of us are still sleeping like piggy. The purpose of waking up that early is rather demotivating. It is just due to our promise towards Prof Aishah to attend that law conference.

The conference was held at JW Marriot,a place that we had our faculty night when we just entered UKM law faculty. The food served somehow remains the same as what we had 2years ago. A friend of mine who keep saying that she is on diet somehow took this portion of food ( as shown by pic) but in fact keep yelling that she wanted to put on diet. haha.. dieting =p

The conference was seriously bored. The presentation by Prof. Aishah was still fine, proven that she is knowledgeable but somehow other presenters were singing a lullaby for me and put me to dreamland. Allow me to quote the lyrics of a song by Ronan Keating to describe them, " You said it best, when you say nothing at all".

We managed to take pictures BUT its again in the toilet. i seriously wonder why we favour taking picture in toilet that much. Here are some pictures that we took in toilet. haha..




After that extremely boring conference, we went to Alamanda since we sort of pass through it. I still cant find any nice white flats there, wonder where can I get them. Any suggestion?? As we are loitering there, we saw people holding boxes and boxes of Secret Recipe cakes. Guess what?! Today is the 11th Anniversary of Secret Recipe and they are giving out a whole cake FREE with the purchase of a whole cake at 11 outlets throughout Malaysia. Which means, with RM73, you are able to purchase 2 Secret Recipe's cakes!!! What an offer! We are just so lucky today *wink*


And this is what we bought~ (I can foresee how chubby I'll be after finish them)



Tempted?? Perhaps you'll be looking forward to the arrival of 12th December 2009 for its 12th anniversary at 12 outlets. (=
