Don’t judge a book by its cover!

I’m probably the most miss-unerstood person around……..y? is it because i’m not presenting myself well enough…….or people are assuming too much about me?

1) Korean freak! - I’m not a korean freak……i’m not into korean culture or am i crazy about korea or it’s everything from korea!!! I’m actually very into Japanese culture and likes a lot of things from Japan. I like things from korea too…..but i’m not a korean freak who screams at every thing korean n then buys them home!! n i dun like hanbok tat much…..i’ve always tot it looks like maternity clothes, but i do want to try it on.

2) Crazy fan gal! - gosh!!! whoever think i’m this should see me at fan meetings or concert! which part of me looks crazy?? 1)i met dong bang shin gi….more precisely…i met Kim Jae Joong whom i’ve admired for sooooooooo long!!!!! n wat did i do when they walked directly in front of me? i just stood there! 2) i went to the airport to welcome dong bang n when all the fans started running n chasing after behind them…..where was i?? at the back of the pack!!! 3) even while Super Junior n DBSJ were in kl, i never did go star searching for them in kl. 4) i’m not one of those crazy obsessed fan gals who dun have a live of their own, except chase popstars!!! i have more interest in my own life than someone elses!

3)Mel loves watch sad love stories!- this is a big common mistake…..is tat written on my face or wat?? ppl always think tat i only watch those sad love stories which make u cry n cry n cry!!!!! i watch them but in moderation….n they are not my favourites!!!!! if i like movies like this sooo much i’ll be watching korean drama everyday….but i’m not!

4) Mel only watches korean drama!- wat do u think i am? korean idiot? i dun like korean dramas…..xcept for a few outstanding ones….they all have similar plots n it’s mostly on love! i cannot stand watching movies where brothers or sisters can fight with each other for someone…..or friends betraying friends for some guy/gal!!! n in the end everyone die!! wats the point? i do like korean comedy thou!!! they’re much better n nicer to watch! however i do like japanese drama, they’re more interesting n they actually do tell a story……friendships, family, problems…….n they give great advices, n also the great story plots from manga! i also watched quite a number of HK movies.

5) Mel knows korean!- wow! since when i know how to speak in korean? i have interest in learning languages!! all sorts!!! french, spanish, german, korean…….but at the moment, my fav is still japanese! 日本語が大好き！

………..that’s all for now….

sniff…..these few days not feeling well again…..

1st, i had sorethroat
then, i had fever……
n now, flu!!

One thing i hate most is making desicions that can affect my future. It seems i always have a hard time making decisions……….

To go or not to go?

I got a reply from NTU saying that i’ve been offered a place to do Mathematical Sciences. That was my 1st choice. My 2nd choice was Bachelor of Science(education) in Maths. I’m lucky i guess that i got my 1st choice. N now, i’ve got to give them a reply by 29th June. Should i accept their offer?

I applied for scholarship but then they never mentioned anything about it so i dunno if i got any.

I’m now in my 2nd year in UTAR doing Biomedical Science. I didn’t want to do lab work initially as I’ve always wanted to do something related to education and maths. Biomed was my 1st choice compared to biotech, biochem, other engineering related courses and medicine. As time passed, I came to like the course. I would be doing my industrial training in Oct this year and will graduate 2 years from now.

If I were to go to NTU, i would have to start all over again. Mathematical Sciences is a 4 year course. 4 year is long but it’s ok for me, as i’m still young. After i graduate i’ll only be 24-25.

Biomed is more to bio and chemistry while Maths-sci is fully mathematics. Even if i study maths-sci i can still do biomed related jobs.( i checked that out at the NTU website) Both are good courses……n something i have interest in.

NTU is of course a much better university. It’s well known through out Asia….maybe the world. N naturally chances of ppl employing a NTU graduate is higher.

The question is "Shall i accept their offer?"

Pros:
I’ll be studying in a better uni…….better opportunities in future??

Cons:
I’ll have to spend extra years and I’ll have to give up what i’m doing here.

I used to really want to go NTU for Bachelor of Science(edu) really badly last time. But when i applied this year, i applied for Mathematical Sciences as i feel it’s more of what i want to do. N now…..I’m stuck at this crossroad!

An aunt said i should just continue in UTAR, another aunt said i should go to NTU as a degree from NTU would be better and job prospects are better. My cousin told me to do what i want…..the problem is i’m sooo confused and stressed out that i can’t think and decide.

How le~~ Should i go or stay? why???

my head hurts now everytime i touches it! haahaa……this is the after effect of the hairdo this afternoon!

All the dancers for the sketch got their hairdo done at Miko’s saloon in wangsa maju, by their apprentices. I was in the 1st batch to get their hair done….n all of us got…..the twists n braids! haaha…….which looks sooo horrible on me! cuz i got chubby face! n when u pull all my hair up…..omg!so yea, the hair dresser who did my hair, pulled up all my fringe hair, twisted the top half of my head n continued with braids for the rest of my head…..All that took….2 hours!!! The final result looked good…..but not my face! haaha……i had lots of pins in my hair to hold the twists in place n no rubber bands at all for the braids…..they scratched the end of the braids with a comb n make the hair all messy n puffy to hold the braids in place without any rubber bands…….this can really spoil our hair!

A fren who is the only one with short hair among us had the top half of her hair in twists n the rests combed into a messy n puffy style…..which makes it looks like some sort of explosion…but it looks really great! at least it takes less time  complete n yet gives the same feel to it…..maybe even better!

Even after the dance, not a strand of my hair was out of place….thanks to the huge amounts of gel n hair spray they used!!! I had exactly 26-28 braids on my head!!! n it took me 20minutes just to unbraid them!! n then i had to remove another 15 pins from the twists!! which hurts…….took me half an hour for all these before i could go shower.

N now….my head hurts….must be because i’ve lost too many strands of hair! My hair has the most volume among everyone in the 1st batch n it’s layered summore…..so my twists looks fatter compared to everyone….n my braids looks broader too n plus i have more braids on my head……which adds on to the weight! My hair was the 1st on to be worked on i think….n mine was the last to complete!

lol….ust now my god mother said i look better without eye makeup as my eyes looked huge!!! with them……so i told her it’s good…as i can "fang tien". N she said mine is scary n only those eyes which are slightly smaller can fang tien!!!! sniff!!!!!

very tired~~ my hands are trembling slightly now! haaha……Thank goodness everything’s finally over!!! The sketch was successfull and i think everyone had fun….hope the audience did too!

For the past 2 nights, i’ve been staying up late in uni for prac…..n i can see that it really takes good team work for things to work out. Those committees n staffs worked so hard just to get everything ready for the dancers, while the dancers practiced hard in hopes of giving a good show. It just like in a concert where u have a lot of production crew that dun get to be in the spotlight but has put in lots n lots of effort into it.

The story line:
It’s about a gal who came to UTAR……n it’s about her route to acheiving her dreams.

Scene 1, features the female lead, Melody, singing to this sad song….her sadness….of her hoping to have good frens. Then she and 4 other females dancers dancers dance…comtemporary?? to a sad japanese song.

Scene 2, shows Melody walking alone sadly when she suddenly heard singing voices….n then the male lead Anderson n his gang of pals walks past singing acapella to a song…..when suddenly Winds-Long Road starts playing…..n 4 other female dancers n I got on to the stage from the other end. The boys n gals walks past each other n the battle starts. 1st was (Anderson)Anson, followed by me, Ivan n Thien…..then other dancers too, n suddenly Anderson spotted Melody where he pulls her into the crowd n we all welcomes her…..

Scene 3, the dancers are stretching when a postman suddenly arrives n delivers a mail to us. It’s an invitation to the "craze dance competition". All the dancers were excited n starts discussing what song n dance style to use……1st up was Triny showing some comtemporary moves, 2nd was Camy dancing to new jazz, 3rd Anson to breakdance n 4th is me! to sexy……(before the show Camy said to call it "dirty dancing"….but i was reluctant…."sexy" sounds good enough…haaha) n 5th was Ivan to shuffle…..all these styles were rejected n finally Thien dances hiphop n everyone rejoices as they have finally chosen the style they wanted to dance to.

Scene 4, the dancers involved in the hiphop dance to Britney Spears’ "Overprotected" starts their practice when Triny suddenly falls down n hurts herself n they sent her to the hospital.

Scene 5, Melody sings again to another song and then sits alone in the practice room n dances to a sad Melody which was seen by Triny who then decides to pass on the role of leader to Melody as she feels that Melody might just be the person to lead their team in to the finals.

Scene 6, features the dance group practicing dance with Anderson helping Melody out when Melody suddenly trips n Anderson catches her……..the melody slowly changes to "chacha" n they both starts dancing to cha-cha. At the end of their lovely dance, 2 male dancers imitates the scene where Melody trips and was caught by Anderson.

Scene 7, "The craze dance competition"……..where the top 3 teams will compete in this final competition. 1st team to dance was "Peace B", we were dancing to BoA’s ID Peace B. 2nd team was JBR dancing to Se7en’s Passion n last team was Infinite dancing to Britney’s Overprotected. The winning team was of course Infinite with both the male n female leads in it! (All the dancers have to get on stage during the prize presentation ceremony n hope that their own team will win…..when we already know which team is gonna win……haaha)

There were actually lots of slide shows in between which tells the story and gives meaningful advices which i couldn’t see….as i’m in backstage…..

I like the fact that Shinhwa songs were played during breaks, prize presentation ceremony n the closing ceremony. n they played…."shooting star" yay! reminds me of Battle! haaha……..spread the Shinhwa love baby!!!

I’m actually quite dongbang-phobic now. I hear them in my uni’s canteen, at dance prac where some of them were dancin to "O" n in a commitee’s car this after when she send us to the saloon for out hairdo!!! I even hear them when i’m shopping for groceries!!!

Overall, this dance sketch was a good and fun experience for me! Thanks to Camy who taught the dance steps, all the dancers n the crew!

How far will die-hard fans go to keep their fantasies real? On June
5th, Lee Eun Ji a middle schooler who lost 40kg in 3 months committed
suicide. As in most suicide cases, the exact causes are unknown, but
according to friends the poor girl was tortured by Elves or SuJu fans after the picture she took with Kang In after a variety show Star King circulated
online. Not only did they harassed the girl online, but these die-hard
fans also found out her cell-phone number and left her horrifying
message, which inevitably pushed her to the edge.

What’s the big deal about taking a picture with one of the members?
These celebs take pictures with hundreds of people, so why pick on this
girl who worked so hard to loose the weight because it was her
grandmother’s dying wish? When will die-hard fans realize that nobody
will be understanding or forgiving of their irrational behaviors
because they do it in name of love or is this just too much to ask?

Rest in peace Lee Eun Ji.

thou i’m not 100% sure that’s the reason y she commited suicide….but…….

so what if a person has taken pic with ur fav popstar?…it’s just a pic!! a normal person takes thousands of pic….in their lifetime…maybe even millions if ur a cam whore! if ur so jealous…go get urself a pic with ur fav popstar too la!

it’s similar to those movies where u see the actor kiss an actress n some crazy gal fans start shouting n scolding foul words at the actress cuz she kissed the actor. n then sends threatening notes to the actress…wat’s the big deal? the actor have kissed many other gals off screen….he might even have a gf whom he can kiss everyday……n u know wat? u ain’t gonna get a chance to kiss him….ever!

1. ok, so ur a close fren of this actor….ur chance of being his gal is like 1 in 100.
2. if ur his fren….u chance to be his is 1 in 1000
3. if u’ve went for his auto session…..then chances of him remembering u again the nex time is…….0%???
4. if u’ve went for someone’s concert, u’ve seen him , n he has not seen u……ur chance is negative!
5. if ur just a fan……who’ve never even come close to seeing him in person like a concert……ur chance is…..totally non-existence!
