Names in various forms

1 10 2008

During school days, I have nicknames like “ham tan chiu yan” and “fa fa”.

During college days, friends calls me “yau nai” and “leng lui”.

Okay, I made up the “leng lui” part. :)

Now, colleagues refer me as “Chuen”, “Chen”, “Chwen” and “Cheun”. Luckily I have not encounter anyone who refer me as “Chun”.

I guess you will have different set of nicknames for different phases of your life.





Worst horror of mascara

Ramblings

2 07 2008

A few weeks ago, I saw a person cried with joy because of her whole-birthday-celebration-thing. Her birthday celebration was certainly a memorable one for her. :) How often do you see ppl with joy? This makes me wonder, when was the last time I cried because of sheer happiness or because I felt touched?

I could not really remember when was the most recent cried-with-joy-incident, but I do remember *almost* shedding my tears many years back. The incident was when my mom came to my primary school to bring me some tid-bits during “Hari Kanak-kanak Sedunia”.  We were having an assembly that time, and I saw her walking passed the assembly room.  She caught my eye and made some hand gestures towards the bag of goodies she was holding, and then walked away. Some time after that, she walked passed the the assembly room again and waved goodbye. I felt really touched and *almost* shed my tears (do not remember if I cried). I don’t know why I felt so touched by this incident, but I did. :)

Going to Six Flags this Friday! Yay! :) The old me will feel very excited and can’t wait to go on the rides. Hehe. This time, however, I am not sure if I dare to go on rides which look too adrenaline-pumping. I guess age is catching up.. :P The main reason for this is actually because, now, I am really skeptical about the safety of those rides. …. :P





OPT and Visa 2.0

12 06 2008

It is official now! ECE has a CIP code. Yay, can extend my OPT. :)





I like … DIYs

8 06 2008

I like to make stuffs. I ENJOY the whole process of making them. I miss the feeling of happiness and excitement when I am making them.

When I was in high school, I like making buku folios. I loved decorating the pages so that they looked pretty. I was quite picky in completing those books. If I was not satisfied with how a page or cover looked, I’ll buy more papers or covers and redo again. That being said, I also loved writing for buku autograf or biodata. It was such a big thing then.

I love making presents or cards for friends who I cared because I feel that they are more personalized.

I knitted scarfs for a few people.

Of course, there are people who do not know how to appreciate these stuffs. ;P

I have not made stuffs for a loooooong time.

Yesterday, I made this. I felt happy the whole time I was making it.

Ta-da! My masterpiece!

OPT and visa

27 05 2008

Still waiting for a CIP code for ECE from my uni.

Currently exploring other alternatives should the CIP code for my major is not released before my F-1 expires, which is quite soon. It is just confirmed that I can not apply for a work permit in Canada as I would be a few days shy of 1 year working in US.

My current options are UK and Malaysia.

OPT Extension … updates

8 05 2008

CMU posted CIP Codes that are eligible for OPT extension on Monday … YAY!

However ECE is not in the list :(

Called a-helpful-CMU-staff and she mentioned that they are very working hard to include ECE in the list of CIP code, although currently they are tied down with graduation stuffs .. I guess have to wait until after the graduation ceremony for any updates.





Brain Age .. workout for your … brain

24 04 2008

I got ask for a Nintendo DS Lite for my birthday. Yup, my birthday is coming up.. *HINT* Why? Coz I wanted to play Brain Age. Reason for that? Coz I wanted to maintain train my brain so that it is fresh and young. I have been very forgetful … really forgetful … and something must be done to rectify the problem! Thus, me asking for Nintendo DS.

According to the manual, Brain Age is best played in the mornings, when your mind is fresh. I will wake up 20 minutes earlier than normal, so that I can TRAIN my brain…Yup, I am really serious about this.

So which color did I choose? Knowing me, its either red or white. But white get dirty very fast la, so red it is!

Okay, training time!

Note: Actually many other games also stimulate the mind … :) Btw, I am joking about waking up earlier.





For fun …

What City Should You Live In?

You should live in Los Angeles. You are snarky, headstrong, and will step on toes to get where you want. It takes a certain type of confidence to make it in sunny L.A., and you may have what it takes!
