Freedom....SOON!

Tired..Exhausted..Sick..Bored of Studying!!!

2 more days to freedom! I can totally smell it now. Results, don't worry...until a month later...enjoy to the max!

I wanna totally unwind myself in Bali. But...I have to make a short trip to Taiwan in July I think..and after that my cousin is coming over to Malaysia during mid July..so my first real trip can only take place at the end of July. And for those of you who think that I am going to Taiwan for holiday..big NO NO..I am gonna do more studying there...studying textile..sighh...well..at least no need for books

Back to studying! Update after exams!

And for those of you who say that I don't blog enough...follow me on twitter. I spend most of my time there now rather than other pages.

*poof*

I Better Live Up to The Expectations

I was scanning through Facebook this morning and I just found out something...the shock of my life...here's the story

When I went back in November, I met my cousin's boyfriend..basketball player, talented...I think his job was something to do with coaching the basketball team..something like that..right..so nothing special..met him..said hi..bla bla bla..

This morning, my cousin that finally got a facebook account posted her pics, and as I was scanning through the pics, I saw something...Now, I don't know how many of you have watched 斗牛要不要 (Dou niu yao bu yao) starring Mike He and Hebe..but if you have watched..I saw someone in the press con ultimately familiar...guess who plays 木魚 (Mu Yu) in that show..my cousin's bf!I was like WTF?!!I never watched the show, so I didn't know bout this when I met him..I have to confirm this though with my cousin. Even if I met him, I forgot his name already. If the actor is another guy, they must be long lost brothers..

The guy on the most right


I know it's not a big character or anything..but I really must admire my relatives in Taiwan..My eldest cousin (guy)..dating Lee Hom's PA. My 3rd eldest cousin (gal) dating this 木魚...My 4th eldest cousin, dating a hot 21 year old girl who looks even elder than me due to the way she dresses and make up...my youngest cousin...one of the smartest and prettiest girls in the school..crap..makes me feel like I am nothing here in Malaysia..no bf, not the best student, considered kiddie in Taiwan for not putting on makeup and dressing up myself..Sigh..quite a lot to live up to..

Music Man..AWESOME!!!

Lee Hom's concert was awesome!!!!Loved the effects, loved the way he entertained the crowd..but the sound system was a bit off..his voice was higher than usual...but it was still great! My voice was a bit sore after shouting and singing during the concert


The only thing that annoyed me was the RELA people who kept walking here and there telling ppl not to take pics! Blocked my view and I couldn't take any pics..and I had to endure Daniel Lee and some girl singing..for 10 mins..the trade off was worth it!2 and half hours of super performance!

And the pic above is "the person who got me to go" and me! As you can see, it was super hot and humid!!thank god we had plastic fans

Anyway, the best thing so far about Lee Hom in Malaysia is....

TADAAAA!!!



Guess Who Signed My Ticket!!!None other than Lee Hom himself..with my name on it!!The best time of my life so far!!

Hmmm...

This weekend..LEE HOM'S CONCERT!!!! I really need a break from assignments..

My guitar's 4th string broke...sad...can't play anymore until I get new string which will be I don't know when..

Have been calling Pizza Hut once every week now..Probably going to be their regular customer...but it's really cheap now!

Finally managed to install and use TweetDeck...Now I don't log on to Facebook that often.

One assignment due this Saturday and another due next Tuesday!!! die!!!!

Rejection..But Still Happy!

I got rejected by PWC..They said that they had no opening positions in their Advisory Department at the moment. I understand that...especially at this time where the economy still show no signs of recovery despite numerous stimulus packages.However, I am not that disappointed.I got other things in life that I look forward to.

Like on 2nd May. I got the Wang Lee Hom concert coming up.

Got a phone call from my aunt in Taiwan yesterday.She gave me news that made me quite excited for the month of May.Not gonna tell what news it is though coz it is not confirmed yet. But there is a big chance it may be happening.Feel especially happy for Wei Mei though in this case.Her dream may finally be coming true.

3 assignments coming up.Due dates are close to each other as ants are to sugar.Wish me luck!

GUITAR HERO!!!

I, Nancy Seow, hereby officially declare this day as "The Day I Splurged My Internship Pay to Buy Guitar Hero World Tour".

I shall always remember this day...ahh...so memorable...

Free for A Day!

Finally..there is time to catch up on my dramas and guitar practice..but..only have a day to do so...before I start getting back to my assignments

Midterm break is here!My final semester break in my life before I grad!

Found a new addiction..Twitter..Tweet!Tweet!

Wanna watch Confessions of A Shopaholic...heard that its very different from the book

R.I.P Lawrence Kutner

Assignment Hazard!

I absolutely hate it when all the assignment due dates are so close to each other. Can't the lecturers communicate with each other so that at least they give us at least a week in between instead of suffocating us. And all their assignments need so much research, not the ones you can use common sense to answer it.Super inconsiderate!

Recap Time:

Gave a new look to my blog as some ppl told me how the last template was slowing their computer down. Just an ordinary one now.Nothing to fancy.

Updated my template functions to layout functions..finally!

Movie time on Saturday!Haven't been to a cinema for days now


Still awaiting Lydia's meal..hopefully will get it on Saturday...Ninja Jones?Korean food?

Pimples on my face still not getting any better..dammit..

Currently addicted to David Archuleta's "A Little Too Not Over You"

Finally gave in and learnt to play Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours"

That's all for this week~

My mood for blogging as once arrived again...let's see..a recap of my past few months...

Finished my internship with Moore Stephens AC with my body clock messed up
Uni reopened..my first marketing proposal due tomorrow.
Started playing MSN games again
Currently job hunting..took this advice from my uni friends. Target :Big 3 (I failed 1 already)
Listening to One Fm everyday..Thanks to the PjBumi team who got me addicted.
Got my sponsored child details today.A 10 year old girl from Thailand
Bought a new printer as the previous one kept choking on paper.
Finally bought a wireless mouse for presentation purposes.


End of recap

Next recap:Whenever I have the mood

No posts since November as nothing much happened. Just continuing with my internship life until recently, I started reaching home at 2-3 am from work. For the past whole week actually. Mom keeps asking me to resign but I am actually enjoying the process of working (minus the fact that I have suppers instead of dinners and am getting lack of sleep). But at least I am being kept busy and time flies when you are doing work.Plus, I learnt a lot. I have been doing vouching this whole week. Wonder what I will be doing next week.

Oh yeah, Happy Valentines Day to all the readers. As usual, I am still single during this year's Valentines Day but I do believe within the next 5 years, I will get to celebrate with it my special somebody (hopefully!). I don't find it a rush to get a boyfriend just yet. I am happy with my single life and I do believe that God will one day bless me with a boyfriend..heehee...not having a boyfriend for the time being is fated by God and I am sure that He has his reasons.

So, to all the loving couples out there: cherish one another and enjoy you Valentines Day. For those who are still S.A.D (single, available and desperate), hope that you will find your special someone soon!

*poof*

I wonder if anyone actually comes to my blog and read my posts. I have this deep desire to close this blog down since I am not really committed to updating it and nobody really comes to read it.There are times when I when I just want to click on the 'delete' button but something stops me.There are just too many memories of mine in this blog. A reminder that I have great friends that I met during my HELP Uni days who stuck with me through my ups and downs in the uni days and have continued to do so; a reminder that I am a spendthrift and one hell of a daddy's little girl; are reminder that I have matured and changed over these past few years. I just miss those days in the past and this blog is one of the remaining place where I can reminisce them. So, the day when I close this blog will be the day where these things do not matter to me anymore. I don't know whether that day will come.

Anyways, my results have been released. It was okay. However, Monash Uni in Australia was dumb enough to forget to upload my International Finance results. It was suppose to be released yesterday and nothing has been done. Looks like it only be released on Monday.Sighh..the wait is killing me. Usually, I will blog on what I got. But, this time I won't as I don't see a point. It's not that I am ashamed of it but doesn't serve as a memory to be cherished.There are better things to blog about.

I finally got an internship, thanks to Joo Yee who got it for me in his company. This will be the first time that I am touching audit even if I did swore before in the past that I will never touch this area. However, times are hard. I can't be that picky and expect everyone and everything to be at my desire. This is what you learn in Masters, especially group assignments. Compromise is the key. I believe that I have learnt to compromise more than before. I don't know. I can't judge myself but this is just what I feel.

Most of my friends have completed their post grad in Australia, Lydia and Ching May, congrats!Congrats to Joo Yee and Yee Li for finding a job and Kit Mun, well, congrats on getting to work in Miri. As to those who are working, I am still waiting for a free meal from you guys, except Kit Mun who has already spent me dinner. Anyways, if you guys do read my blog, I will not be in Malaysia from Dec 11 till Dec 17. I am returning to Taiwan to visit my grandma and to have fun there at the same time.So I will see you guys after Dec 17.Can't wait to catch up with you guys!!

Take care!!

*poof*

JOY!I have finished my second semester exam for my Masters more than a week ago and have accomplished my Penang trip!But how come I feel that something is not right?

It's not the problem with the results. I know last time I will be shitting myself until I get the results but this time, it doesn't seem to be the problem. I have learned how to deal with my nervousness and try not to show it in front of other people as it is a sign of weakness. I still haven't figured out what is wrong with me. The feeling is like "Will I be able to make it to Tuesday without any problems". It's as though I get the feeling that I will not make it. Something is very wrong...

Seems that no companies so far would like to take me as their intern. I simply refuse to go back to HSBC. I think this time instead of banks, I will apply for multinational enterprises or consulting firms. I have so far applied for SHELL,Accenture and British American Tobacco but still no reply. Guess I won't be getting it then. Will have to apply for more companies. Maybe the financial crisis have something to do with it. DAMMIT!

When I go through Facebook, seems that most of my friends are having the time of their lives; going out to enjoy. Only I seem to be staying at home. I know it's sort of my problem too since I don't really like to go out. But really, do I have that few friends. Usually, I don't really care bout this kind of stuff, but as days pass and I grow older, this problem seems to be getting my attention. Hmmm...

All rants for this post as I feel that there is nothing to celebrate about even though I have 4 months holiday. Seems more to be a burden than a reward after 4 months of doing pain in the a** assignments. One thing I am looking forward to: January..sucba diving!!

*poof*

Wow..I didn't blog for the whole August..haha..Actually, now it's only the first time in 2 months since I have accessed my blog. I have decided to write this entry because Lydia asked me to and my friends don't really know what's going on with me (Oklaa...I just don't want to write my assignment..wasting time here:P).Okay..I have not blogged for a long time. Lemme think of what to update.

My iPod Touch 32 Gb is arriving this Friday.Yay!Cost me a bomb though. RM 1,600...Now I have to work during my 4 month holiday. Probably gonna work at a place where there is flexible timing as I need to practice my classical guitar (exams!) and also I need some time for my diving lessons. Not diving from 10 m above land, but scuba diving. Plan to take it with Mei Ying at the end of this year.Other people are welcome to join us.Better if can get 2 more so that we can form one group under one instructor. Finished most of my assignments. Just left one crummy CSR paper to do and 2 HR assignments. Finished my finance slides and ready to present it this Friday.

Oh yeah!All the U.S dramas have returned!Just watched Heroes last night!Def more awesome than the boring second season. At least I didn't yawn once during the 2 hour season premiere. So on Tuesday I have Heroes, Wednesday I have House MD, Friday I have Grey's Anatomy, Supernatural, Kitchen Nightmares and The Office..F*ck..How am I going to find time to study now?

So, I will be free after November.Going to Penang on the 7th with uni friends and later going to find work to support my iPod and diving activities. All-in-Cosy = RM3,000. Need to earn that amount during the holidays. No more support from my parents. Sigh..back to assignments now..Take Care People!

*poof*

The end of my holidays have come and the start of a new semester begins.Another one more year to go.I have mixed feelings bout it. Anyways, I was pretty surprised with my results for my 1st semester.Pretty satisfactory for my first exam in Monash. 1HD, 2D and 1CR. My CGPA is safely above distinction level. Thought of applying for scholarship now coz I feel so guilty for spending so much of my parent's money on that certain something. Hopefully I will get it. For the next sem, I have finally decided on taking Human Resources Management and International Retailing so that I don't choose between both. This means that I give up Intl Finance since it's on a Friday night and this subject appears on my degree transcript.Not much point for having a repeat. Might as well learn some new stuff. So a great way to kick of my masters second sem.

I met up with Lydia for the movie "Made of Honor". Okay, I admit that the movie is pretty cliche, but it's Patrick Dempsey!McDreamy!Watch it for him!He looks pretty good in it. Then met up with Mei Ying where I stuffed myself full of Tostada chips in Chillies. Funnily, I seemed to have experienced a temporary loss of memory. I can't remember a lot of things that happened in secondary school.Seemed to have fazed it out.Hmm..not a good sign. And I finally had my first bowling game with the HSBC ppl after two months of hiatus. I was still consistent in my results at least. But one of them said that my face have grown fat!DIE!!!If my body has gained size, at least I will know how to reduce it. I can go for sports, cut down on my portion of food. But face...how to make it look normal again?Face exercise?Chew chewing gum?Any suggestions?

I have finally taken up swimming again. Bought a new swim suit and hopefully that I can continue my routine throughout my semester. So to myself: THIS IS A REMINDER FOR MYSELF TO GO SWIMMING AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK!

*poof*

I am on Holiday!!Finally..my long awaited holiday after 3 stressing months are finally here.I can finally go back to my slacking days.I can spend more time with my drama, Wii, and movies that I missed while doing stupid assignments. I still haven't watched Ironman or Indiana Jones..dammit...I wanna watch Made of Honour too!!McDreamy!!!Who's up for it?

Anyways, my new big thing has arrived. My new guitar!Just got here yesterday..I am really satisfied with it. Nice fiber glass case which can take higher impacts and also has a thermometer and hygrometer to check the humidity in it too.







I was told that my neck was actually built by Manuel Rodiguez Sr. himself so the neck was quite thin compared to my previous one which will enhance my playability as my left hand won't hurt so much now.Played the guitar and the sound was really nice.As mine is a solid spruce top, will have to wait for some time before the sound opens. I love the two tone color of the headstock there.Also love the bronze head tuners.Blends in nicely with the wood.









The back is made out of solid Indian rosewood.Love it!



Overall, lovely guitar!Best thing I have ever bought!Going to do some bonding time with my guitar now

*poof*

SOMETHING BIG IS COMING...

SOMETHING SPECIAL IS ARRIVING SOON...

IT WILL BECOME A NEW RECORD IN MY LIFE...

AND IT ALL HAPPENS WITHIN 2 WEEKS...

THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS...
(P.S:It's not a baby or my exam results)

Just ranting here in my blog as I have no one else to complain to about this problem.
I am in a dilemma here.I just passed my grade 6 classical guitar exam. Now I don't know whether to proceed with my grade 8 or should i switch over to learning the piano. Both are attractive in their own ways but each has its pros and cons. If I continue my grade 8,I will have to spend another RM 10k for a new guitar and also additional pressure for exams in additions to the ones that I am facing from my masters study. A new piano costs about RM 5k which is obviously so much cheaper. But I don't want to give up my classical guitar just like that. Way too much work has been put in. Now my dad is telling me to make a final decision. I don't really know whether he is supportive of me anymore in music as being my hobby. The costs are just too high. Haih...life sucks..I blame it on money and my masters.

*poof*

Finally...I have got the time to blog again..Just handed up all my assignments and got over with my midterm.. can't wait to see how badly I did since I didn't put much effort into it. On a happier note, my guitar exam is this friday! I am not happy because of the exam, but after i pass my guitar exam, my parents had promised to buy me a piano!I have already chosen the piano that i want..Yamaha digital piano. Ebony is way too expensive for someone like me who doesn't draw any income.I have always wanted a piano in my house. Of course I will play on it but it does make a great furniture sometimes too.

What was with David A. not winning Anerican Idol anyways? He lost by 12 million votes!A pretty huge loss for someone who had always been leading the votes every week. Just when he needed it most, it doesn't come. As Simon said, it was David A. knocking out David C. Ts..Tsk..fickle audiences..or y'all think that David A. doesn't need your votes anymore just because Simon said it was a sure win for David A. Neways, I am 100% absolutely certain that David A. will get a recording contract and I will definitely buy his album.

Okay..gotta go bury my head in heaps of journals for my finals.

*poof*

This post is going to be meaningful. Apart from talking bout my convo, this is going to be my 100 th post!!Congrats to my blog!!heehee

Convo took place yesterday. I didn't really take a lot of pics coz I came late and was rushing for the group pic already. The joined Wei Mei's family for lunch and went for rehearsal already.Got my 'degree' folder....There wasn't a degree inside but just a notification of when I can collect my degree cert..how lame....after that took more pics. Was quite tired already maybe coz of my shoes and sitting down for so long..backbone ache. However, one very memorable convo.It was great seeing everyone again. And I did make a certain discovery. Lecturers know how to camwhore after all.One typical example below as demonstrated by Mr. Steven.



Well, he's got potential..that's all I can say

No pills or medicine syrups will do any good.Hence, just have to wait for the illness to pass which is this wed, fri,next monday and thursday. The only event I have this coming week is my convo and I am actually kinda sad it is this sunday. One day gone to do my marketing assignment. My grad party is a no-go too.SAD...

Btw...does anyone wanna go for the 'Beauty and the Beast' Broadway musical?If yes, contact me..looking for someone to go with. Hopefully my illness would have passed on then
