Rockin' The Tweets

I finally created myself a Twitter account. I'm officially a Tweeter now! Tweet tweet :) Lets ride the bandwagon & rock the roads baby! Hahaha, I guess with the whole 'time of doldrums' in the office, in fact, the whole Industrial trainning I've been experiencing, I just had to find something new to keep myself entertained, occupied, PRODUCTIVE.

Me Sherene
sherene!
qila!
i'm following u on twitter..haha
lol now i have like 3 ppl following me hahahaha
hahaha
just got myself twitter since i was bored
me too hahaa..

Feel free to follow :)

If you can handle the various levels of crappiness of AQillogramz :P

The main reason I created the account was to keep up with people I like. So far, I'm already following like, 50plus people, including all the Kardashians & The Hills cast. LMAO. But at times, I'd update when I feel like it. Faster way of expressing or informing or sharing stuff, rather than thinking of delicious sentences for my bloggy over here :) Oohh I'm hungry. Not.

Some may see Twitter as an activity of no necessity to it. Alex Day once said, "I don't see the necessity of logging on everyday to see what people are doing or thinking every 5 minutes" (not his exact words, but something like that). He wasn't talking about Twitter specifically, just social networks in general. Ohh, and he mentioned something like, "Why would I want to see real time updates from people whom I can just chat with, on skype or msn everyday". Thus, he deleted all his social network accounts. I don't wanna pollute his well-elaborated opinion with my short-term memory loss lines. So, he's basically saying that, there's more to life than social networks & the internet. The points he made were very convincing. I'd post the video here, but I couldn't find it. Sigh.

He's absolutely right. But from how I see it, it depends on how a person manages the usage or should I say addiction? to these social networks. I mean, there's no wrong in wanting to keep up with other people's updates. I'm not a fan of facebook updates (real-time conversations between people I know but rarely talk to, relationship updates = eye soar-ing!) , but I do like playing around with some of the apps there. It's when you're logged on almost 80% of the day, almost everyday, THEN you might wanna re-evaluate the productivity you're getting out of your life.

As for me, I like reading people's thoughts be it crappy or serious. Why? Simply for the fun of it. And on the brightside, it gives me ideas, new words, different perspectives, etc. You've gotta keep an open mind in order to move forward in life, man (I like to joke around with my mum, with that line, woot woot. It's true though *serious*).

Anyway, let me know if you have an account too :)
Till then ♥

Froppa Bonding

Hung out with the babes on Sunday.
Watched Last House On The Left.
Teppanyaki-ed. Chocolate Frappe-d.
And basically juz played around with our bond strings (what? lol).

The movie was pretty good.
Not box office good, but watch-worthy.
A very bloody, nerve-lockin' murder movie.
You can tell when a movie is cheap, riduculous & a waste of time.
Somehow, Last House On The Left wasn't disappointing :)

They were having the Shout Awards roadshow there in One Utama.
Saw Honey Madu & Nadia from Flyfm.
I was trying to figure out who the artistes were, no idea.
We didn't watch it anyway, just passed by a few times on our way to a few places.
They were giving out free tickets? How special (-_-).

Had a My Fair Lady Frappe & juz chilled.
Tasya likes calling it our 'Froppa Night'. It's Frappe, dear :P
Thanks to SOMEONE's geographical excellence, I had to rush out of the car to avoid from being honked at, at the side of the road at the LRT station, & walk a whole kilometre to reach there. LOL. Qiller drama. It wasn't even close to 500metres. Gotta love exaggeration ;)
Had fun though, love em girls :)

Tried to make this as short as possible.
SUcks, coz I'm not good at making simple solid ones.

Whatever eet ees, I got this quote from reading John Green's, Looking for Alaska :
"when you stop wishing things wouldn't fall apart, you'd stop suffering when they did"

It SORT of got me through my shitty first day back in the pj headquarters today.
Till then ♥

Chocs, Fruits & Bots

Yesterday, I went out to watch Transformers with the blood sisters. It's been 2 weeks I think, since it premiered, and the ticket was still 12ringgit. Blehh. How long does it usually take to go down? A month? I honestly don't know. I'll have to keep that in mind once I do find out. The world needs to know the tips & tricks of staying on a budget these days. I don't see, catching a movie on the day it premiers to be a necessity or coolifying achievement. Well, if you can afford it, why not. There's no wrong to it, that's just one of the things I choose to modify to be aligned with how the economy's affecting me financially. Am I making any sense here? No? Yes? (-_-).

The movie was not bad. Not THAT great either, though. I mean, since the first day it premiered, I've been seeing update after update on facebook, with people parading their imaginary "I've Watched Transformers, In YOUR FACE!" certificate, and how awesome, how coooool the movie is, and that you'd die if you don't see it (okay, okay, I may have gone a lil overboard there).

I will keep you to my heart. Yesterday, Today, Forever. Until my last breath. LOL, we bought the chocolate, for the chocolate. The words ain't mean a thing.

Spoiler ALERT!
Well, the robots never cease to awe me, but the story line & script wasn't all that great. However, the few parts that I liked, involved this character called Jetfire, a decepticon from the olden days, the first generation of transformers, who decided to change sides and fought for the Autobots. The movie was nearing to the end, you know, the typical part where the good guy gets pretty weak, and it seems like there's no hope for them to survive, bla bla bla. In this case, it was Optimus Prime, who was just brought back from the dead (yes, they can die), Jetfire wanting to serve the Autobots like he did in the old days, sacrificed his 'part' (heart) & gave it to Optimus, which made Optimus evolve into a stronger robot with extra powers. The evolution was so astonishing, I realised my face was spazzing out in amusement as I watched. LOL.

One character I seriously didn't like was Sam Witwicky's mom. OMG. So annoying, I could shoot her. I guess they needed her for comedy? Seriously, NOT FUNNY. Plus, for a mom, the way she spoke, her language just wasn't right. Plus, the so-called love connection between Sam & Micaela has got to be the MOTHER of all cliches. I'm a pro-cliche-er, but sometimes cliche has its limits.
Aaahh, that's all I've got. Heee, it's still worth the watch though. Juz not as blockbuster-ish as everybody says it is.

Blast from the past. Haha, I found this photo while I was cleaning up the guest room before it was renovated. Tiqah was still a lil baby then, so I'm assuming this was taken in our house in Brisbane in maybe, 1990? Think so. Good ol days =) The days where the bowl-haircut used to be the in-thing for 3 year olds, & pink tricycles were for rockin' kiddos *wink wink*.

Anyway, we got home that night to an orchard. Dad brought back rambutans, mangosteens, dukuns & duriaaaans! Woot woot! Hahaha, yeahh I bet everyone else's having fruit buffets all around Malaysia. There's nothing like the fruit season here in the lands of Malaya ;)

I'm thinking, if I left out any of the stuff I wanted to talk about?
I'll get back to it, if I did :)

You Are a Tuber

I just thought of posting this vlog I made a few months ago, which I forgot to post here. Yeah, people who follow me on youtube have seen it, but I totally abandoned the regulars here. Hehhs.

It's actually a vlog where I talk about my mini meet up with a few Malaysian Youtubers. It was quite a short one, but fun :)



Sorry it looks kinda weird, I was attempting to make it fit the screen, but I ended up making my face look horizontally challenged, INSPITE of the fact that my face is horizontally challenged enough (-_-). Awesome much?

Speaking of Youtubers, recently about a week ago (I think), I bumped into Helmi (Postrophy), the co-founder of the Malaysian Youtubers Community. I gotta say, it was pretty comical. I was actually heading to the movie ticket counter with my sisters, Afi, Tiqah & Farah. And from a mile away, I had already noticed him coming from the opposite direction. Like Zetty, I'm not much of a "Heeey, how've u been?!" person. In my case, this was the first time I'd seen him off screen. LOL. So, I juz walked passed him, happily unnoticed. Hahaha. One thing I wasn't aware of, was that my siblings are all in my videos too. Therefore, recognizable. Aihh.

So, once we got to the ticket counter, I was getting the money from Afi. And when I turned back to face Afi, from the side of her face I could see him just standing back there staring at me like some tiger on a hunt, waiting for the perfect time to attack its prey. Busted. But I still stuck to the pace I was at from the beginning.Took the money from Afi, and headed to the queue. Little did I know, he'd already caught up with me, and was already standing next to me, literally bending to get a closer look. I guess he was trying to assure himself that it was really me. HAHA.

All I could do was smile at him. "You, Aqila kan?". I smiled again. Ahhh that broke the ice, and we had a short chat on the spot. Turns out, he had recognized me from far too, but he wasn't sure till he saw my sisters. LOL. It was nice though =) Ohh! And, and! I watched Hannah Montana The Movie that day. It was greeaat! I love Miley Cyrus, no matter what people say!! Hahahah.

Anyway, if I ever forget to post my new vids on here, you can always check for updates in the sidebar. Aiight? Woot woot =)

Sorry I left my previous post kinda hangin', you know how it is when it's been a long time, words can be quite shy to play around with you sometimes. It's like meeting an old friend after months or years. Conversations are a little awkward at the beginning, no matter how much you know what you wanna talk about.

Cliche alert! The news about MJ was melancholic (seriously). Not that I was ever a HUGE fan of his or anything. It's all just.....weird. Somehow, the whole thing educated people more on his music. Huhu. So typical! But whateverrr. I love Man In The Mirror. What about you?

Till then bebehhs ♥

Against The Tides

It took me quite a while to update, so much has happened within the past month (?)
I don't even know where to start.

Okay let's see, first off, my prayers for having actual work to do at the office was finally heard & prosperously granted ;) For the past 3 weeks that I've been in Serdang, I have designed cable installations for a housing area, did it both manually on paper, and on the computer. ACTUAL INPUT for God's sake! I was contented, no doubt ;)

I've been brought out to sites, almost everyday. Learnt a few softwares, and Serdang gets extra points for the people, who actually know how to use their face muscles. Yup, they smiiiiilleee. So, I was happy with everything, but then realized that happiness always, alwaaaays comes with consequences. That fact hit me right in the head when I reported in for my second week there, when my supervisor put me under this staff, who turned out to be the most disgusting perv eveeeerrrr. Okay, okay, I know when you hear 'perv', physicality comes to mind, but there was nothing physical, THANK GOD. But that doesn't mean it doesn't disturb me mentally. It's just sickenning.

So sickening that I get reeeally close to crying everytime he's approached me.
So sickening that I purposely go to the washroom quite frequently, and actually staay there for as long as I could, just so that time would pass by FAST & I could stay away from him.
So sickening that when there's no work to do on a particular day, I'd get a cab to the commuter station and head straight back home, just so I don't have to stay in the office where he's nearby.
So sickenning that my personal notebook is filled with pages of hatred.

SO SICKENING, that I DREAD going to work everyday :'(

You have no idea how happy I am, that this is my last week here. But still, even the few days left are beyond dreadful. Dreadful, but the brightside of it is much appreciated. Man, I can't wait for this week to end.

Some say, Industrial Training is a process of self-discovery? Almost 3 weeks here, and I've discovered how much of a weakling I can be at times.

You know the weather's been pretty crazy these days right, damn, the sun can be pretty agressive sometimes. That makes going out to sites pretty tense. You see, going to sites involve walking outdoors under the flaming sun, & then straight to the exchange buildings where all the ports are, with rooms FILLED with all these high-tech electrical stuff, which results to the existence of a pretty high electromagnetic field in the area.

Now there was this one place we had to go to, it had like, a gazillion security doors that we had to go thru just to get to the room of ports. SO once you're in there, the only acceptable reason to go out is when your work is done, & it'd be a pretty long journey out. It was a friggin hot day, and we'd already got in there. I put my bag on the table and started observing the installation of a minimux. They were about 20minutes in, and I started feeling really dizzy, eyes were getting foggy & I just felt like falling. LOL, another Bukit Gasing moment. I eventually found a chair and set there till it wore off.

There was another day, where we were out almost the whole day, and right after, I got an MC for the next day. Hehhs. So much for the 'tough exterior' (-_-)

Gahh, that's why experiences has its ups.
Therefore next time, I'll be ready. I hope ;)

Hmmn...Till then? ♥

Acknowledged Virtual Sigh

After I got back from lunch the day I wrote the previous post, I continued my ohh-so-lively-so-thrilling daily training routine. The level of exhilaration shot up like fireworks on the 31st of August in the big blanket of air of Dataran Merdeka. It reached a point where I was somehow sane enough to decide on googling myself. And I came across this blog post made by my friend, Izzat :

It seems that I had educated him on the method of sighing virtually, & was acknowledged for it in this friendster blog post, which was written 2 years ago. LOL, my pleasure man :) I don't remember reading it at all. But I do remember that the last time I virtually sighed at him, was when I was hating on him (long time ago, we're good buddies now *wink*) . Hahahah. Good times eyh? I must've already deleted my friendster when he posted that.

Till then <3

Boilling Point

If u noticed in the Hey Yaa video, my siblings and I were bunking in all together in the guest room, with extra matresses on the floor & all. It's because, our rooms were being renovated at the time. Actually, they still are. The rooms are getting a makeover, woot! :D

Which requires us to move around A LOT in the house. The first couple of nights we were all in the guest room, later on, we had to move to my brother's room, then our parent's. Hopefully in a few more days, we'll finally be able to settle into our own bedrooms. Whoosh. Coz believe me, the outcome may be exciting, but the whole process is pretty darn tiring. First of all, clearing up each room was crazy! I caught a mad flu after discovering huge amounts of dust behind cupboards, frames, under the beds, etc. that've never been detected for years in those rooms. It was so bad, that I had to swallow flu pills, which I rarely do or even knew existed. Those first few days of clearing up, our house was filled with different genres of 'hachooming' music.LOL. When they're done, I'll try to get a certain medium of em rooms for you to see ;)

So, I'm currently in my 5th week of Industrial training, & nothing has changed so far. Still with the same old routine of warming up the chairs in the office. I'm seriously starting to get sick of it. I was chatting with one of my seniors about having NO INPUT at all during the training. It's like waking up early everyday, to go waste 9hours of my life to just sit around & surf the net (which used to be fun, but hell NOT anymore). I've tried contacting my advisor who assigned me to the different departments every week, to ask him if I could just proceed with my training in one particular department (coz the people there said that if I stayed longer, they could give me assignments, and assist them with work & stuff, but 1 week was just too short). I emphasized on the fact that my transportation to Serdang (in which I'll be going back & forth from home for 3 weeks) is gonna be tough.

And the secretary called back to tell me, I HAVE to follow the rotation given, and also 'adviced' me that "A student has to always BE READY if they want to train with TM". Euw? In the real world, yeahh I get it, I have to manage these kinda things, THAT I don't mind. But right now, I'm travelling to different places, where the people'll end up telling me, "It's unfortunate that you're only here for a week, it's too short to give you work, OKAY BYE". A little consideration wouldn't hurt would it? I still pray everyday, that it gets better, hoping that eventually it WILL. Coz it's all just starting to get really sore (-_-).

Gotta go to lunch. My daging special burger's hollering for me.
Till then <3
