HELPMUNC 2009
Group pic in full reso. :D
..Blogger resized the pic. =(

Yes, this delegate of Arthur Chia is fully aware that this delegate has spelled Group Pic as 'Groupic' within the caption of the picture. :)

Onoz, I've been infected
by the MUN monster.

My weekend. :)

Many interesting things had happened over the weekend. I definitely met lotsa new people, learnt that I actually stutter a lot in front of a large crowd of people that I do not know and I didn't know that one can get a resolution passed without against speeches due to the lack of interest and response.

That was the experience of my second MUN conference. This time, it was in HELP University College and a wonderful experience it was.

I went as the delegate of Japan. I swear I got it by chance, I'm not as Japanese-culture-crazed as Cherng is, but meh. I'm glad I got Japan. I got to talk about how Japanese technology will help create a vibrating phallus-like condominium of 3,000 storeys high for all the gays in the world among other things.

Funny things/ superlatives that I won was,
"Delegate Most Likely To Be Emo" which is very true IMO,
"Delegate Most Likely To Suck Up To The Chair" I guess it's the aura that I give out. = =
and "Delegate Most Likely To Be UN Sec Gen" which I thought would be virtually impossible. I stutter. C'mon! :P

"Most Diplomatic Speaker" of HRC. I don't think I deserve it HAHA.

But meh. I had fun. And omg! I didn't camwhore as much this time around! :D *proud* It was partly due the fact that I had ugly hair (or my face was ugly since ever) and my short hair just stinks. )': Sucks shaving bald since 3 months ago and not having your hair grow back fast enough. =O

Yan Le. :D
Yeah, this was the only nice camwhore pic that I took.

Heh. I can't wait for future MUN conferences that I can attend. Heh. HEH. HEEHH. =P

Mm, this post is a follow-up of the picture I posted in my post yesterday.

My brother's girlfriend and her twin sister came over on Saturday to play..

..

Yeap. Play. :)

Lanterns, of course! :D
It's just gonna be pictures, so meh. I'm too tired to type anything. =D

The 'centerpiece' of our lil' festival thing. :P

A cake of candles. :D
Denise's masterpiece! :P

Charmaine and Denise. :D

Denise is my brother's gf, which is the one on the right. Her candle cake was the one up there. :D

Anyways, tired and depressed. Got my trial exam results today. )': Not very good, but meh.

One good thing that I'm proud of was that I got 75/ 75 for my first paper. The pure maths paper. =D

I've been busy these few days. I played with lanterns and candles today though. :)

HELPMUNC is coming to a close tomorrow, it's been fun. Tiring. But mostly fun. Met lotsa interesting characters, hopefully I still will be in contact with them, even after the conference. :D

Guess what's this? :D

5 reasons why I hate holidays

1) I gain weight easily.

Don't start about me being super thin and all cause I know I'm not. I don't exercise, nor do I try to do some. Well, I still work out in the morning, but that's last time, not anymore. I'm gonna start again, but yeah. )':
I gained 4KGs since the hols started.
The only exercise I ever get is walking up and down the escalators in college. That's how much exercise I get in a week.

2) I don't study. AT ALL.

Dah la, I don't exercise, I don't study summore. Sigh. I haven't touched a single book since my holidays started. And I'm very sure that my super smart classmates have revised enough to score straight A's for our AS exams. :O

3) I don't get enough attention.

Hate me for being an attention seeker, I don't care! :O

Well, I actually do, if not I won't dying for attention the entire holidays. Hoping and wishing someone would drop me a comment in my cbox. = = But with the lack of updates? Highly unlikely. =P

4) I sleep a lot.

..which contributes to the gain in weight. And also the destruction of my sleep cycle. I used to sleep at 11PM and wake up at 7AM every morning..

..until I saw this movie. The Descent. Unrated version summore. I stopped watching at the 45th minute. That's where the monster first appeared. I've yet to continue it since then. Sleepless nights till now. Two days already. =O

5) I can has no blog updates.

Not because I don't have anything to blog about, I do have things to blog about. Likeee, the movies I've watched like, G-Force, Final Destination 4 (3D), and I watched Gamer two hours ago. :)
But yeah, I don't blog. Cause. I'm. Just. Plain. Lazy.

What to do, it's the holidays mah.

Rawr. I'm so exhausted after typing like, 20 sentences? I don't think there's even 20 sentences there HAHA.

I blame the holidays. :)

Windows of your life, open them and you'd find,
More windows in your life, choices you'd make,
Defining who you are, or what you will be,
So just open your eyes, and look for windows.

My poison ivy rash is.. Stagnant. In a way it's healing, it doesn't itch that bad anymore. But I read that it takes up to four weeks to go away. Hopefully it does. It's painfully itchy.

Meh, going out with teh fwens later. 1U. :)

Oh. Selamat Hari Raya para muslimin dan muslimat! I hope you have a great Raya and enjoy the great food! =)

*update*

Poison ivy rash.

My first poison ivy rash. Itches like the sting of a needle.

The Sky Adventure Club of Taylor's College Sri Hartamas organized a trip to Chilling Falls. The plan was to meet at college at 6am and we would depart by 6.30am. But instead, people came late, Mr Rahul went to the mamak and eat breakfast, and we ended up leaving at 7.00am.

Trekking. While still on the right way.

I was leading the way in my mom's huge ass car, but it was comfortable for the people that were riding in the car with me. It took us about an hour and a half to reach the bottom of the climb to the waterfalls. It was.. weird. The GPS is nuts heh. We went on roads that weren't on the GPS's satellites. Cute, but annoying. =P

The trek to the waterfall was supposed to half an hour only. But we took the wrong way after the first crossing and went on a very very very very long detour. Detour here meaning we didn't use the trek but instead we were crossing over rocks in the river, jumping and placing our feet carefully in the water so that we won't fall.

The river that we followed in our three hour detour.

It's not shallow and it's not slow moving. ._.

Basically, we took a really really long "detour" and taking THREE hours instead of the supposedly half an hour track. Oh well. At least we had fun parading through the river. (:

Mr Preman helping Kay Hwa. It's deep, and really fast flowing water. :O

But I still managed to take these pictures anyways, heh. So yeah. I was wearing my sandals, cause I don't have a pair of walking shoes or trekking shoes or whatever. =P So I wore WMS socks and my new Nike sandals. The one that I blogged about in my previous post. xD

All in all, I guess it was a fun experience. 'sides the rashes that is on my right arm, it's all good. :)

My back's sore, cause I was carrying two backpacks. One for food and the other my camera with my other dry things. I had fun carrying them anyways. It's a challenge already without carrying anything. But carrying two backpacks and one that absolutely can't get wet (for obvious reasons like.. my camera?) and still crossing the river AND taking pictures? Now that's a challenge. :P

Fun, fun. :)

The water at Chilling Falls! Uhh-maay-zing! :D Damn kao cold and nice! Refreshing! Not dirty! AND they have fish in them! But we're not allowed to catch any of them fishes though. T.T

Oh well. I likey this trip. I'm taking them to the track near my house next time. No waterfalls, but I guess it would a good trip. :)

*I pray and hope my rashes would go soon. THEY ITCH SO FREAKING BAD*

*End update*

Chilling Falls. ♥

Friends. Elle > Mei Mei > Amanda > Justina

Before getting wet.

After jumping in the water. :P

I'm sore. But Chilling Falls is awesome.

Sorry for the blurry photos. :O The splashing of the water on the rocks totally made like, those drizzle of water and fogs up my lens EVERYTIME I take a picture I thank God for these clear ones. =P

The last picture of me is blur. )':

Urbanscapes 09.
Taken with my old cam. The 5 mp one. =P

I just realized I haven't been out for anything for a very long time. Well, I just watched Hamlet last Saturday so I guess that counts for something. I'm going out later to 1U with a friend to watch Final Destination 4 in 3D later. Oh hey, I'm going out pretty often! :P

Not to mention 2 months ago I was at Urbanscapes 09 from morning till 11pm. Or was it 12am. I can't remember, but it sure was fun. My mom was furious when I came back. Well, not exactly. I was having my holidays then, I think. Oh wait. It was a Saturday. =P

I haven't been doing anything productive for the past few days. I only went out on Sunday with my mom to buy a pair of sandals. My old one gave way when I was watching Hamlet.

Dear Sandals,

I've known you for exactly 2 years and 3 months. I hope that you'll enjoy your life in Shoeven. You were like the pillow on my legs every time I walk and you are just as beautiful as the new ones that I got. Don't worry, he won't be able to replace the comfort that you left for me. After all, it cut me on my ankles the first time I used.

I'm fine, don't worry, but thanks for worrying about me, sandals. :)

You'll be missed.

Your dearest,
Sandals owner/ Arty.

So yeah, I haven't been doing anything but sleep, eat, computer, MSN, pr0n, eat, sleep, shizzle and the cycle freaking repeats itself! Damn kao annoying. T.T

Anyways, I started working on my college's 2009 Prom poster. I started on it on Monday. I stopped just short of an hour. I was sleepy! I didn't know why. T.T I've had the best sleeps of my life these few days. Finishing off my cumulative effect of not enough sleeping hours also known as sleep debt.

More info on sleep debt can be read here. :)

I finished the poster design yesterday. Here's a glimpse of it:

..and I wanna go do some sit ups and take my bath. Teehee!

LOL. XD

ill

Unnnnngh! (The sound of a fat boy's moan when he wakes up and stretches in the morning)

The funniest thing happened to me. I set my phone alarm to wake me up at 9.07am. Funny number, I know. But nyeh, I like numbers. :) So anyways, I woke up two hours earlier than the needed phone alarm, and I was on my computer, checking out some stuff. Catching up and what not.

Then, I heard this sound. It was almost as if, aliens had descended from up above and is playing this tune. Almost like the tune that ice-cream bike always play. "Paddle pop, paddle pop~" ♫ You know? Something like that. So there I was, wondering what on earth could that sound be.

After 2 minutes (which seemed like a very very long time to me), I realized it was just my phone alarm. I changed the alarm tone the night before and totally forgotten about it. :P The song's called Pre-Parade by Kugimiya Rie and Kitamu from the anime Toradora that aired in the first quarter of the year. It's a cute anime, with cute character and another tsundere main character.

If you haven't heard it before, here's a link to a YouTube video. Clikku

I'm not sure if you found my lil' shock to myself funny or not, but I found it funny. xD Who cares what you think! =D

Couple of things I just wanted to share. :D

Nutella.

Nutella. ♥
My obsession for Nutella started when people like Farah Rani and Shahila Johan and Nur Zakuan going on and on and on about Nutella goodness.

..So I gave in. I bought a jar of Nutella..

..and I don't regret the RM8.70 that I paid for it. Hell, I'm getting the bigger jar next time! xD

Jog For Hope. ♥

It came out in the papers again today. The Star. Education. Page 3. :)

I actually kept one of these buntings thingies. I don't know what they're called, but I requested for one after the event. =P After all, I'm so proud of my babies.

As far as I'm concerned, I've been designing way too many stuffs in this year itself. It's killing me. Well, there are pros and cons about this, though. :)

Arty's Pros and Cons List of Designing Too Many Stuff

Pros
1) I get to build my portfolio for the course I intend to take.
2) I get to build my portfolio for the course I intend to take.
3) I get to build my portfolio for the course I intend to take.
4) I improve over time and hopefully I'm actually improving? Hah. I don't know.
5) I get to waste wasted time. Wait. Buhhhh-whaa?
6) I wish I knew what the pros were. :D

Cons
1) I get stressed out cause of the deadlines. .____.
2) I already have too many things to handle with. Maaah.
3) I get to show off ZOMGGGG.

EXTRA CONS
4) I don't get paid.

I don't have as many Cons as I do for Pros. So I should probably continue designing until I drop dead, right? =O If it's good for me. Oh wait. I DON'T GET PAID. *adds to the list*

Homg. That prolly over-weighs all the Pros. So I shouldn't be designing anymore? I DON'T KNOW.

I'm not that good, so, why should I continue? LOL. Well, to continue.. so I can improve and get better. And probably will even get paid in the future. But I don't know what's the point though. Mm. Well, I do feel relaxed everytime I'm working on something. After all, it's something to keep me busy. So I won't be emo and rant on about how fat I actually am.

So designing = good.

I want to pick up a new hooby. A physical one. Like dancing, so I can actually lose weight or something. I haven't been exercising for a VERY VERY long time. Something fun.. Kickboxing? :)

Can someone suggest me something to do please? Like, something fun. =D

And physical. :)

I need more drama in my life. It's not like there's not enough right now, but it's just a thought. They'd make good plots for stories, haha. I fink I'm gonna start a series of stories using these questions I came up with just half an hour ago. :D

It'd be great if you guys would do it as well, but remember to leave a message in my cbox everytime you write one. :)

What would you do?

1) What would you do if you had two years left to live?

2) What would you do if you discovered your son was gay?

3) What would you do if you ran out of shampoo?

4) What would you do if you have no more new songs to listen to?

5) What would you do if you broke both your legs, and had your arms amputated?

6) What would you do if you had to work as a maid?

7) What would you do if all the computers in the world broke down?

8) What would you do if your piggy bank disappears?

9) What would you do if you stapled your fingers?

10) What would you do if you woke up not knowing who you were?

11) What would you do if you found that your boyfriend is gay?

12) What would you do if you ran out of tissue paper when you're in deep shit?

13) What would you do if you ran into an ex-boyfriend that raped you?

14) What would you do if you dropped a snow-globe that your late mother gave?

15) What would you do if you lost one side of a slipper?

16) What would you do if you strangled one of your cats by accident?

17) What would you do if you lost your phone charger?

18) What would you do if you received your first paycheck today?

My first paycheck.

I received my first paycheck today. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with it, but most probably gonna go open a bank account first. Under my name.

Imagine that, my first bank account under my name. Arthur Chia Tek. I'm not sure what the benefits are for having your own bank account, but boy, it sure does feel good. Receiving your first paycheck and banking it into your own bank account, instead of your mom where she allegedly keeps your ang pao money.

Can you imagine that in 4- 6 years time, you'll be working your ass off, getting your monthly paychecks, saving, and spending it because you deserve it? The feeling of getting paid is just awesome. At least, while still living with parents, cause they pay for everything else. And you don't have to minus money for EPF. :D

I'm feeling.. Happy. About my first paycheck. Not something that I should be very happy about, but it's still my first paycheck. It is a big deal and I don't think I deserve it hah. My performance in Kaki Blue is not my very best, as I know I could've done better, which I should have, but didn't. I should be ashamed of myself, but the run's over and there's not much I can do about it. What I can do though, is to do my best in every future undertakings.

Therefore, I'm not exactly happy for my first paycheck, but relatively happy for getting my first paycheck. :)

I like my new header. It's so.. clean. :) I did it yesterday, while studying for Physics Practical haha. It's a picture of my piano. And the brush I used was the Scribble brush that I made haha.

Heck, even my brother doesn't want to go out with me. Oh well. I wanna go out! Heh. My weekends are usually spent with family, so I guess it's a good thing as well. :)
But sometimes, you know it's better to just hang out with a couple of your good friends, laughing at a funny movie together. :)

LOL. I think I just ♥-ed my own hand. xD

I have too many awesome friends like her.

I'm proud of being the one friend that appreciates them. Hah. :D

- - -

I recently had a chat with my friend, cause I was feeling a bit down (as usual).

"Try looking at the bigger picture. I was once depressed about Uni, but life isn't just about Uni, no?"

How true is that? :)

Life isn't just about relationships with that special someone. Life is not just about scoring straight A's in exams. Life is not also just about impressing people and beating them in everything you do. To me, life is about how you go about each day, enjoying each day as if it's your last. Making people smile, or seeing them smile. It makes your day happier just a bit, right?

Each day, every single thing that makes you a slight bit happier, means your life is growing, your heart is growing. Being capable of sharing all the love makes other people happier. Grow, and love! ♥ Heh. I sound like a hippy.

So yeah. I'm loving life. Nothing special really happened, just starting to appreciate things better now. :D

I'm glad to be alive.

despair

*despairrr*

Rawr. I've been meeting too many new people recently. Most of them I met through social networking sites (not Facebook :)) and Twitter. That's definitely a good thing, I guess. Ever since Facebook decided to dump me, I've taken a liking for the second-in-line, Twitter. :)

Heck, even the people on Twitter are less absurd. Absurd in the sense that I don't see people randomly adding people in Facebook and asking, "Hey, who are you?"

Mind you, I used to get at least a Friend Request on Facebook everyday. I know most of them, but sometimes, it's those unknown people that simply adds and then just leaves their account unattended for a few months. When I meet people like that, I'd just view their profile, don't know him/ her? *clicks Remove from friend list* I'm harsh, but it's necessary. :)

Anyways, that being said:

Follow me on Twiter.

Stupid attention whore. xD

I have huge hands and a deformed face. *hides*

My trial exam starts tomorrow. Maths P1 and Thinking Skills P2.

No, Maths P1 is not an objective paper. Everything's subjective. P1 just means Paper 1, and Paper 1 for Maths is pure maths. It's just like SPM Add Maths, minus all the statistics part. Cause that's Maths P6. :D

Confusing much? I still don't know why they name them such haha. Maths is the least of my concern haha. Thinking Skills Paper 2 might sound easy, but it's definitely harder than Maths P1. Well, to me it is haha. I'm not sure what other people think, but their opinions don't matter. :D

I haven't started studying yet. I'm not even feeling scared or whatever. Just dead. Brain dead. My emotions are like.. *wait* What emotions? :O

Non-existent ones. :)

Heh. Hopefully I'll do well tomorrow. I've still got shit work to keep up with. Editorial Board? Sighh. Not to mention that my whole Graphics team is quitting. Except me. I can't quit. As the Head of Graphics, I can't really quit, now can I? Well, good thing about that is that each of them have to get at least 2 people to join before they can quit. :)

Joy. :D
