Idled

OMG!
I'm idling my blog again *again*

Right after my exams, i never have time to jot something down. Even if there's some time left, i'll be doing household chores from now on as i'm at home in my hometown. Pah~
Dear Mummy wants me to do all those work, sweep the floor, mop it, laundry, etc. etc.; and if I don't, I won't get to have my dinner. Does that sound like a poor pitiful Cinderella? Thanks to the 21st century, we have brooms and mops with a higher handle, vacuum cleaner, and of course the wonderful washing machine!!! -- And I'm still able to have my dinner even though I ignored my chores. Mom is not that mean. Hahaha... Just that I'll feel guilty if I don't help her around the house. Bless that I'm having my industrial training now, so I don't have to listen to her nags. I'm darn tired after work.

Lemme have this flashback thingy. What did I did for the past few weeks?

• Week 1 : Summer fun in Langkawi with the groupie~!! =D

- I'll show the pics when I get all those photos uploaded. Takes time. Cuz I'm darn lazy.

• Week 2: Starting of Industrial Training week 1.

- Started to appreciate my bed even more in the early morn. *YAWN~*

• Week 3: Industrial Training week 2.

- Doing nothing special except for falling asleep earlier and earlier each night. Elaborations later in the upcoming posts. *maybe* Teeheehee~

KimFei's Visit

A few months back, KimFei told me that she would be coming to Malacca around October. Eventually, she cancelled her plan 3 weeks before her planned date, due to our exams because we can't accompany her that much as we must study for our finals. Then today, evening, this gurl called me and practically forced me to have dinner with her. And i teased,

"Oh, ok. You have your dinner in Alor Setar while I have mine in Malacca at the same time. And then, we'll converse by phone together, and we'll order the same dish on the table. That counted as eating with you, right? Hahahaha..."
"Eh, I'm already in Malacca lar."
"Don't bluff. You finished your industrial trainning already meh?"
"Yalar."
"Aiks~ True ar? You're in Malacca?!"
"Yalar."
"Why are you in Malacca out of the sudden?"
"What else do you think? Just come out for dinner later, ok?"
"I'm having Stats exam tomorrow, dear gurl."
"Aiyah, never mind. It'll only take just about 1 hour. Just a simple dinner. You have to have dinner too. Meet me in Mesra Ria at 8.30pm, ok?"

So, ok. I went with her plan to meet her in Restoran Mesra Ria at 8.00pm instead of 8.30pm. My tummy can't stand to have dinner so late. Pah~
And there we were together for dinner with KimFei, SooPing, TianHao, Pua & his new friend Sapto, and of course, Sweet. KimFei told me that she just reached Malacca today and are going back to Alor Setar tomorrow night. Just a two-day-one-night trip. But still, I'm touched by her sincerity.
KimFei purposely come down to Malacca for my 21st Bday.
Waa...waaa..waaa... *tears of joy* KimFei..... You're my dear-honeypie-munchkin-sugar-sweet-coated-darling! Thank you so much...
And thanx for bringing down my bohemian bracelet & anklet present too, dear gurl. My fourth present! =D

Legally Adult

The day before yesterday AhKor came over to my house... reasons to visit me in my new house, because he haven't stepped into my room before ever since i moved here. Well, Kor.. that's a lame reason to pass me my present.. hahahaha... though it is true.. you haven't been here ever since i moved in. He brought a CityChain paperbag.. containing a brown package which look like a book. It is a book. My first 21st Bday present, a book entited 'PS, I Love You' by Cecelia Ahern, the daughter of the Ireland's Prime Minister. Ive read the sypnosis, i think it'll be VERY NICE story, a good read. =)

Then yesterday, i knew i have to study for Stats for tomorrow, Sweet knew i have to study for Stats too. But, what's with just a "small supper", right? Eventually turned out to be a celebration for me, celebrated with a bunch of football-freaks in Subaidah-Nasi Kandar. Hahaha...
The eve of my Bday. With another new cake. Hahaha.. thanx to Sweet, I was the first to have a cake from Renaissance. Or so I've been told.


My 2nd Bday cake!

Had another gift from them. My second Bday gift, a Tomei platinum necklace with a heart locket. I don't think it's cheap, by the look of the brand. And a Bday DIY message-card. Oh yeah, AhKor called me again to wish me Happy 21st Bday. Thanx Kor...


o pretty one-- i meant the necklace~

Had a good time with them as Sweet received his present from the gang too, a lovely black laptop bag with shoulder strap attached, perfect use for his industrial training. He went to hug all of his friends... aww~
And another friend, DW, received his Bday DIY message-card too~~

We came back happily and I saw my couz left me a YM message to tell me where she hid my present.
sephirothtan: there?
sephirothtan: Oops, seem like u sleeping ho.... or not in now?
sephirothtan: Dear MZ, first of all, just wanna said, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, i think i m not the first to say this but... haha, i don want to be the last
sephirothtan: and, I got a present for you
sephirothtan: first, sorry that I open you box beside your table, coz I need to put your present into the box
sephirothtan: so, just open the box between the color box and your table, it should be the box on your left..... and you will see a white color plastic bag under the black one... the white color thing, is your 21 birthday present from me and ting en.... happy birthday
sephirothtan: and I hope u like tat

And that's how I got my third Bday present. By treasure-hunting! Thanx Jie... and TingEn too ;-)

*******************************************

Ahh.. such a wonderful moment....
...DESTROYED by the plinged of EXAMS~!!!
aarrrggghhh!!!!!!!!

Sweet's 22

Sweet's BurFday~!
Finally, he's LEGALLY 22~*



MUUUUUUUaaaXX~!!!

Between Bdays in Study Week [edited]

It's a recapturing of what happened during my study week.

• Monday night, after library-ing in the night shift, it's one of Sweet's friend, Hoay Ling's Bday.
• Tuesday night, after library-ing in the night shift too, it's Seng Kuang's & Bryant's Bday.
• Wednesday night, after library-ing in the morning shift pulak~

It's.. uhm... not exactly mine and Sweet's Bday; cuz it's like 1 more week to Sweet's Bday and 2 more weeks to MY Bday... but... but... those new dear friends of mine... aww... i'm so touched whenever i think about it... they... they... they celebrated our Bdays together... see.. aren't they sweet... they put their exams the first priority rather than our real Bdays!!... *Ah-hem* sorry, throat hurts. Back to the track. Even the cakes are sweet! 2 LoVeLY heart-shaped... with different flavours, chocolate & orange (or at least tat's what i think it is.)
Anyway, Sweet said he planned mine, but never knew his friends planned his. He got a surprise; i got a DOUBLE surprise. The seafood meal in Umbai wasn't as cheap as i expected... so i wanna take the opportunity to...

see... aren't they cuTe.. Josh & Joleen *teases*

THANX TO ALL MY NEW FOUND FRIENDS

FOR CELEBRATING

MY 21ST BDAY WITH ME!!!

(... although it's for another 2 more weeks. TeeHeeHee~!)

THE NIGHT WAS VERY MEMORABLE TO ME.

PROMISED MYSELF NOT TO FORGET U GUYS ALWAYS~

MUUUUUUAXX~!!!

P/S: Heartfelt thanx to Alex, SengKuang, SeowKern, DingWen, YongLing, HoayLing, Bryant, Yap, YokeMei, Marimo, JengMin, PengCheong, ChangWah, WanYing, Neoh, Sweet.

Mooncake Festival 2005

There's something i forgot to mention in the previous post...

---> Mooncake Festival <---

Last year's celebration was different from this year's way of celebration.
This year is a little bit special. Not that i had in mind of Sweet, but of celebrating it in the Bukit Beruang Hill. Went up the hill about 10.30pm with 6 of us in the gang, hand in hand with a lantern each. Those steep climbs are rewarding, they provide the best view you can get in Bukit Beruang. I've already seen the evening view before, they were great; but the night view was MAGNIFICIENT!!! Compared with the stars up at the sky... ahh.. you wouldn't want to look up, you'll prefer to look down.. at the twilights of the night time scenery. Why? Because there isn't a single star~ There is a big, bright, round moon... without stars.. =D

Lantern & the Night view

And we had a mooncake-in-candle!

Flawed Template

I tried to put a video link. But my blog template frame got adjusted because the video frame is eating a big portion of the side link. Tried to adjust the frame alignment by myself, but things went from bad to worse. Gave up. Planned to change the whole template. Found a nice musical one by incolite07, with the title 'A Pocket Full of Stars'. I rated it 4/5. After implementing it in my own blog, flaws were founded. The 'Post' can't link through. Tried alot of trials & errors for afew days, results the same. Fruitless. Futile. Gave up *again*.
Now, back to my previous template. Boring, but at least workable. =D

Flawed~

Couz's Attire II - Feedback

My couz wore other outfits of her own...
*sniff sniff* ='(
tissue pleease.....

Couz's Attire

My cousin was asking me through YM to see whether will I be at home tomorrow afternoon. I asked her why the importance of it and told her that I'm having my Business Ethics (BET 2014) presentation from 8.30am until afternoon.. only God knows when. She was like, darn! I asked her why *again* She says, "Nothing lar.. just thinking of asking you to be my fashion-consultant-for-the-day before going to my colluege's wedding dinner in Kluang."

ME?? A fashion consultant??!!! Hhmm....

"Well, yeah.. you. I need one consultant to check on my attire tomorrow. I don't want to appear abit of appalling."

Err.. Hell, NO WAY! Though i'm darn low profile, i still need to keep a good impression on my fashion.

"So, what do you say? Wanna help me?"

Ok. Sure. I wanna keep my profile safe. But i'll not be free tomorrow, so I have to dig into our wardrobes today. Coming back then?

"Of course! See you in a sec!"

So you see, I have a good fashion sense in the eyes of my cousin. Might be not to my friends, which they might consider me as only a so-so, but to my cousin, I AM!!! So darn happy about it. I danced in my room for a few minutes.. then back to my pc. Oh, ok, u've got me. I'm just exagerating.But I did felt happy.
When i used to stay in EP, on every special occasion that my housemates will be attending, they will for sure ask for my assistance in choosing the right attire. I'm not bragging about my fashion sense or whatsoever, but I do appreciate them for giving me the chance to feel what it's like to be either Donatella Versace or Zang Toi.

Although my attire to campus was more to a jeans and a good looking top, some other times even just a baby-t, i've always admired those girls who have the courage to wear minis to campus. Not that i'm jealous of their skinny stork-like legs, (hey! I DO have nice legs okaay, shape-able ones like the Papermate-liquidpaper sort.. nice long-ovel thighs and cylindered shins...), but i admired their bravery to break the rules of wearing a skirt 6 inches above the knee.
And also admired those who have the nerve to wear a 3/4 length leotards with flair skirts and baggy t-shirt.. i'm not going to elaborate more, just use your own imagination people. It's more to the Japanese Street-fashion style. OMG!!! Is the Harajuku-style going to invade the MMU too??!
OOooo.. never mind that.

Finally, my couz agreed to settle on her own pastel-green 3/4 sleeved shirt with wide scoop, my knee-length black skirt, a pair of black heels, a black handbag, a big single 5-petal-crystal-flowered necklace, and a pair of matching earrings. I suggested abit of some light nude make up with light pink blusher and some light sheer pink lipgloss. Eyeshadows will be on light-earth-brown tones.

I set my own Rule of Thumb when i'm on my fashionista-mood:
For every clothes, there will be a match. When it does not fit you, it might be only two considerations: the colours, or the cuttings. Never ever blame the fashion. Make your OWN fashion!

International Business Night with Dina

Again, i'm gonna make my sisters so jealous~!!!
Muahahaha... what a bad sis am i... but never mind.. as long as i treat them good... they'll know.. Ah Jiun & Ah Wei.. u borrowed my shirt har... better jaga it properly, if not, I won't burn movies for you guys~! Muahahaha.... Gosh, I'm so darn "good"!

Anyway, back to the title above, I went to the International Business Night 4 days ago (28/8/05) to support of my ex-housemate, one of my close friends in MMU too.. Christina, are you touched?? sob...sob... I can supply tissues for you.. teeheehee~! Darn, I dunno why I feel so naughty.

IB Night was above my expectations. It was good. Not bad for having it the first time. Taken away those "troubles" arised from a source inside, it should be applaused.

As mentioned, I'm not going to elaborate on how the night goes, but just wanna make my sisters jealous. I HAD A PIC WITH DINA, 1ST RUNNER UP FOR THE MALAYSIAN IDOL~!!!

Dina from M'sian Idol (thanx to Neoh for the pics)

Hari Kemerdekaan ke-48

Dari semangat patriotik hati saya,

Pada malam yang gemilang ini, diperkatakan malam ini adalah malam kemerdekaan. Dengan detik-detik saat yang menunjukkan jam ingin menemukan kita pada hari yang mulia ini.
48 tahun yang lalu, negara kita telah dijajah oleh pihak-pihak yang inginkan kekayaan yang ada dalam negara kita. Malangnya, sekarang, pemuda-pemudi kita pula tidak tahu bagaimana pentingnya sumber-sumber yang telah diberi oleh Tuhan kepada kita. Mereka selalu membazir sumber-sumber terpenting seperti air dan elektrik. Walaupun dengan teknologi tinggi yang membolehkan kita menjana kuasa elektrik kita sendiri, tetapi itu masih tidak mencukupi untuk kegunaan semua rakyat Malaysia, terutamanya Projek Takungan Air Bakun di Sarawak yang telah dibatalkan. Dengan itu, kita masih mengharapkan bahan-bahan bakar untuk memberikan kuasa elektrik. Tetapi kebanyakkan bahan-bahan bakar kita adalah terhad!

Sampai bila kita masih boleh bertahan dengan menggunakan sumber-sumber semulajadi yang asli? Mengikut kajian yang terbaru, ahli sains kita menjangka bahawa mungkin 10 tahun kemudian, sumber petroleum asli kita juga akan habis; 25 tahun kemudian, sumber kayu balak & kayu arang kita juga akan habis.

Kebanyakan budak-budak zaman sekarang telah dapat mengolah ilmu daripada menara gading dengan keputusan yang cemerlang. Ini menunjukkan bahawa tibalah masanya untuk pemuda-pemudi ini mencungkil bakat saintifik yang ada pada mereka untuk menghasilkan sesuatu cara alternatif untuk membantu menyelamatkan sumber asli yang ada didalam negara ini.

Dengan tanpa membuang masa lagi, saya ingin terus mengucapkan "Selamat Hari Merdeka yang ke-48"!

Cara alternatif untuk mengekspresikan semangat patriotik:
1) Menghasilkan website.
Halaman website dari SMK Tinggi Kajang, boleh tahan juga untuk tahap sekolah menengah. Tingkatkan usaha anda lagi! Muahahaha... ;-)

Monday to Sunday...

3 Fine Songs with YiDa

One fine day, one of my housemate pop into my room and asked me to listen to a song he shared from his pc.
One fine month... and a few more days later, my that particular housemate asked whether do we (me and sweet, of course, muahahaha...) wants to go to the singer's mini concert. "How much?" I asked. "Aiyah, just 1 dollar," he replied. "ok," I said.

So, on that fine Sunday of the planned concert day, we went to one fine room called CLCR 0002 (A2).
Time's up, so one fine man took hold of the mic and controlled the members on the floor who was getting quite fine anxious; and introduced two fine singers to shut us up, by saying their have one fine same sifu as YiDa.

And also, one fine person with the name Neoh, just walked in 'pompously' from the front stage up to the audience area; heads high up, hands on camera. Just like one fine professional photographer.
Three fine person waved up to him and called him over.
Then, one fine man, with fine hairy hair that needs to be sent to one fine barber, came up to the fine stage, and presented 3 fine songs, while throwing about 10 fine posters.
This fine man is a fine singer called YiDa.

We can't get any fine pictures of him because we aren't suppose to use flash, which makes me so finely unsatisfied. It's compareable when the fine DannyOne came to our fine campus one fine year for his fine performance. I still kept that fine picture. In any fine way, I don't have any fine pictures with YiDa, fine sigh...

Up-Close-And-Personal with Danny One ;-)

*sleepy..* Oh, my bratty sisters are going to be so darn finely jealous~!

P/S:

1) Rule of Game: Count how many 'fine' words available in this post... while I sleep for a moment.

2) I'm just darn bullshitting~

Damien, the Trickster

Flashback from last week:

• 1 August 2005

After a tiring 2 days in the south of Johore, up north i went back to Penang with KhaySoon and his friend, Timothy. KhaySoon's the driver; Timothy's the co-driver; well, me, I'm the sleeper! Wahahaha... Anyway, we started our journey back to Penang at around 8.15am and reach Juru about 2.00pm. It's so coincident that the 3 of us do not have the key to our houses. What a bummer~! KhaySoon left his keys in Malacca, Tim's keys was with his neighbour, mine was at home. We're all locked out. Since it was this way, we had our lunch in Secret Recipe in Autocity, while waiting for my dad to pass me my house keys.

Reached home around 3.00pm and i was about to take a nap from a tiring journey and after a comfortable shower. My head was on my comfortable pillow and i'm just a tiny-miny-moe from approaching the R.E.M. for sweet dreams. THAT's when my phone rang.

ME : (blurringly) heelloooo.....
CALLER : Is this Ms. Tan?
ME : Yess... This is me.
CALLER : Ms. Tan, I'm calling from Jobstreet and I've got a job for you. Would you like to come to our company for an interview somewhere around this week?
ME : *rub my eyes a little. sat up on my bed* Huh? What? A job?!
CALLER : Yes. A job that you've requested from Jobstreet which suits your qualification.
ME : *I suddenly thought of my industrial training applications that my faculty requires me to find* Okok… But can I know the name of the company?
CALLER : Oh, I’m sorry Miss. We can’t reveal the company’s name yet.
ME : Then you can at least tell me what the company deals with. What type of job that you are offering? What is the job description?
CALLER : It deals a lot with properties.
ME : I see. I’m in such a blur case right now, would you mind giving me your company’s contact number? I will call back later to make an appointment with your company. *I’m so darn ‘tiau geh’ (tarik harga in malay.)
CALLER : Sure. No problem. 5******
ME : Hold on, let me get a piece of paper...*stood up and fiddled on my table to find a blank spot on a paper... scribble scribble... hmm… this number looks familiar* And who should I refer to when I called this number?
CALLER : Oh, you can look for Damie-
ME : DAMIEN LEONG~!!! How dare you trick me??!!!
DAMIEN : Hahahahahahaha….Hahhahaha…
ME : Oooo.. Now u can laugh syok syok adee lar… How dare you…you…
DAMIEN : Hahahaha…Hahahahahahaha….
ME : Damien, you... trickster.. you... you... %£*&$!~#!£$@¬#!!!

Damien laughed on the phone for quite some time before he gave his breath up for some serious talk. Pah~!
It turns out that this fella was in Belleview BM office with Elaine, and coincidently Julie was on leave. Both of them were quite bored and the trick was planned. And I was too sleepy to realise it in the first place. Drats~ Anyway, I brush myself up, got ready and drove to Belleview to visit them.. and to reduce their boredom.

P/S: Damien, thanks for the elephant chopstick from Bangkok. By the way, please please don't pinch your nose when talking on the phone. You really sound like a gurl~ Muahahaha... *revenge accomplished* =)

Pulau Kukup... NOT an island; but yet a 'pulau'

Flashback from last week:

• 30th July 2005

A bunch of us went to Pulau Kukup, Pontian, Johor, for a midterm break trip. The accomodation was quite cheap, considering a Rm70 for a place to stay for one night including teatime, dinner, breakfast, lunch, and of course, the splendid view. =) The 18 of us started our journey at around 8.30am in the morning sardined in 4 cars and reached there about 12.30pm. My first impression on the place was, 'Damn, this place is so village-y. It's so darn quiet. I bet the village's gonna be dead when the clock struck 10 at night. They don't even have cars moving around the little village, the only vehicle for them is just the good ol' bicycle, and if you're rich enough, you can get yourself a motorcycle! (well, might be they parked outside their village, looking at the conditions of their houses).' Oh.. oh.. did i describe about their houses? It a 4-bricked wall, built on a few sticks of concretes for support, with a wooden floor. To make it look glamourer, they have a private mini-jetty! How cute~ But a word of caution, never ever look down at the bottom of the concrete sticks! You'll go 'yerr..', 'yucks!', and 'EEEEUUUGGHHHHWWW~~~~!'. It's an "ABC" down there, especially when low-tide strikes. Imagine, dirty-muddy-greyish-brownish sea mud + disposed-maggoted-rubbish-covered-in-seaweed + cracked-plastics (i hope it's bio-degrable) + mudfishes-with-flippers-and-cutie-crabbie-covered-in-shit + homosapiens'-shit-plus-the-loo = create a word for it, wise guy. *eyes rolling*

Frankly, i got bored pretty fast. The rest had their hands on the mahjong table and the karaoke set, so i stuck myself with Josh, Neoh, & Neoh's housemate, SengKuang, i think i got his name right. (Kor, correct me if i'm wrong).I'm not a gambler (i don't gamble at all), nor a singer. I'm only a professional bathroom singer, excuse me. *blink blink* Anyway, we found ourselves at the mini-jetty and enjoyed the cool breezed washing over my face. It was cool! No, really, cool as in cold-cool. As time passes by, as my tummy is making some eccentric noises that i hope sweet doesn't notice, i was "tired." and the 4 of us just went into the room, planning to take a nap. Of course, plan don't just goes well as planned. Dear 'friends' walked with elephant legs around the house-on-sea-water-separated-with-a-wooden-planks, and they too, sung a pitched-cracked karaoke with maximum bass! Darn, darn, darn!!! Poor AhKor couldn't stand them and grab a blanket, a pillow, and his 'Da vinci Code', out to the jetty. I think he did get some peace over there. Or at least, more peaceful than us. We couldn't stand them too. SengKuang went to join Neoh, while me and sweet went out of the house, seeking for a more peaceful place to snap around.

Teatime was so-so. I mean, i couldn't expect much from my 70 bucks, rite, but dinner sucks~!!! I really can CURSE those aunties & uncles staying next door for STEALING our food!!! I repeat, THEY STEAL our FOOD!! After dinner, since nobody's hanging around the karaoke set, i was glad. Stood there, saw a piece of VCD titled 'House of Wax', and i was like, cool! At last, there's some movie that i haven't watch before which is so not outdated yet. I grab it like a piece of gold, put it on the vcd player. This is so my time! Muahahaha... Not forgetting my sweet, i got hold of him and made him sit in front of the movie with me. Muahahahaha... gosh, i'm soooo wicked *winkzzz*

• 31st July 2005

My room's door exploded with a bang at 5.30am DAWN!! Okie, i'm just kidding, i shouldn't exagerated it with a 'bang'. But it's still the same, 5.30am man! I still need my beauty sleep! They said to wake up early to see the sunrise, but heck, there is NO SUNRISE AT DAWN! I slept back and told AhKor to wake me up again half an hour later. At 6.30am, me & sweet went to the temple, the highest building in the village, to meet Neoh and SengKuang & to get the best view of the sunrise. The view was... disappointing~ After our breakfast, i continued my beauty sleep. Ahhh... heaven... Hours later, we packed and left the village by noon, went to the reserve mangrove forest and the 'kelong' by boat. The reserve forest was very informative, great for secondary school students studying their Form 2 science, too bad i'm waaaay out of Form 2, muahahaha~! The 'kelong' was cute. Yeah, cute. 'Kelong' is actually a Malay word with no English equivalent; “remote fishing outpost” is the closest description. Resembling a kampung house on stilts, the wooden structure houses at its heart nets that are lowered to the seabed and raised several times a night and in the early morning; at night, a lamp is hung out with the nets to attract sea life. The man in the 'kelong' showed us those fishies, including a blowfish, a baby shark (no kidding), king crab, cutie turtle, etc. Finally, left Pulau Kukup in the evening after buying some final 'munchies'/souvenirs.

Oh-so-cute-mini-jetty

Sunset in Kukup-tis is an amazing view =)

Interviewing King's Hotel

OK, now i'm gonna write something which happened about 2 weeks ago.
About King's Hotel~

Nahh.. nothing in particular happened in King's Hotel. It's just our Organizational Behaviour assignment which requires us (me & my groupmates) to interview their top management on the topic of Motivation, from Chapter 7 ;-)

We went there, by 2 cars at 11.45am, driven byMaryam and LeeHin, called upon one of the managers, and waited for a few minutes in Queen's cafe, the hotel's subsidiary cafe at the side. Felix came in later than expected as his class only finished at 12pm. Then Mr. Thum Onn Kee, the hotel's Operation Manager agreed to be interviewed by us, a bunch of crazy undergraduates... =P

The interview goes on smoother than planned. Mr. Thum and his assistant were very helpful as they gave a load full of information and also a part of his experience. As we had had more than enough information, i think our presentation today went very well. Or at least, i can say it is better than the 2 groups who had presented the earlier weeks before. Gosh, I'm sooo proud of ourselves... Anywayz, thanx to my groupmates too~ =) Hehehe...
