liberation+homesickness


addicted

liberated. had fun with the gang today at pgp. wish we could go out but eejia and trolley duty get along too well, haha.

lol. feeling a strange sense of discontentment, somehow. maybe it was dinner which we had 'dish' style today. reminded me of home. of the kitchen. of cooking (yay!) of baking with all the things you need at hand. of larger spaces, more private nooks and corners. of comfort and people you love. of anything you like to do, of less loneliness and individuality. of people who care no matter what you do. of people who care until you want them to stop. of less self and more us. of corners and books, comfy sofas you can curl in. air-conditioned rooms you never need. of wide open spaces, yeah, comfort. that's all i can say.

will be home soon. for a blessed three weeks.

can't figure why, but i can't keep my eyes off of you

This is sweet hahaha. thanks guys. your waste disposal system loves you loads.

Tirza the Waste Disposal System
You are Tirza, the waste disposal system! Wait! Don't connote it with something dirty. We all appreciate your effort in bringing away all the bad things around us. You are an indecisive person, easily being influenced by people's emotion or preference, or input. Like waste, your composition and personality (output) depend largely on the input. Whatever people 'spoon-feed', you will turn out as what it is. However, deep in yourself, you might insist on something but people barely notice it. However, you tend to get choked easily when you are overly loaded. You might need some help from the plumbers, aka your gang of friends, to clear the mess out. You always get chocked in the midst of approaching your destination, for instance when you are half way crossing the 'bridge a.k.a "J"ambatan to reach your "D"estination, you fall in love with the bridge and you stop there with hesitation and uncertainties. You more likely will end up in a landfill rather than an incinerator because you are always mysterious as if buried in the landfill, it is very hard to predict your next move or decision because the composition of the landfill is just too random. People always think that they have solved your problem through landfill, but hidden beneath you, there are still a lot of problem remain unsolved. You like to express yourself through blog writing, regardless of whether it is interesting or boring, good or bad, like a waste system, everything will just appear in your blog. You struggle a lot in your design , always get chocked again in the process so you really appreciate your tutor who is the plumber who is determined and passionate to clear the choke. In return, you are touched and always unintentionally "spray water" on the plumber with your tears. Be decisive and firm with your own stance! you can't be on the bridge and at the destination at the same time! unless the bridge is your destination :)

EeJia the Electrical Distribution System
You are constantly in high-voltage, highly dangerous and randomly release electricity to potential victims, read: matured and handsome MARRIED men like TS. Obviously, your transformer needs some servicing as the voltage has over-shot your limits. Even you yourself get shocked sometimes. And hey, it's not good to stand in your way as your enemy will get electrocuted. Like the AC circuit within the electricity cable, your mood tends to swing and fluctuate all the time. Your emotion is pretty much governed by the TS switch. You get easily "switched on" and "off" by words of his. You travel a long way to reach your destination, like how you come out with your final design scheme. You pass through alot of hiccups on the way, like the substations and transformers. But when you reach the final point, we know the journey was worth it. How thankful we are when you arrive!

Lai Mei the Fire Safety System
You are like a fire sprinkler system, quick to respond loudly whenever there is an emergency. Like the wet riser, you are constantly in high-pressure, ready to explode when you sense the flame coming your way. VERY RESPONSIVE indeed! Fierce and strongly opinionated, you may even like the fire you are supposed to contain. You are very sensitive to tutor's flame. When there is a whiff of smoke, your alarm systems will set off immediately. You are also strangely sensitive to other things, such as emotional songs and korean dramas. Those can set you off too. You are also the PA System attached to the Fire Safety System. You constantly seek for inspector's check, but always certain you are working fine.In a way , you tend to be quite stubborn with your own way of doing thing. You could be a very loud and expressive person . And, good job, your voice can be heard even people are in miles away. That proves how effective you are in evacuating people! You made people the SIAMMERs. On a bright note, deep inside our heart we all appreciate your contribution to us. Sometimes we wish you were there, especially when we are wilting. Your sense of humour really "mou tak teng"! Communication with you is easy as you are very direct.

Qian Lyn the ACMV System

You are Qian Lyn, the ACMV system. Your smile is a breath of cool, refreshing air. No matter what the weather, you are always ready to bring comfort to the people around you. You're very popular in certain ways, BUT! superficially, you are like the air-conditioning, cool and comfortable, but somewhere, you've these hot air exhausts which create noises and heat to the environment, which is no good, because you often cause envy, anxieties, heated competition within the male population in your hall. Pretty, gentle and soft spoken, you are always smiling no matter what the situation. You should have a lovely fair complexion that is the envy of everyone. You are also always happy go lucky. You may complain but in a very nice way and ALWAYS with a smile at the end. Your cheery personality is reflected in design studio too! Even when struggling with design, you are always positive that it will be alright in the end. Sometimes you will be worried about your design , but you will not let that to affect your daily mood . You can be considered as an optismistic person , who tends to brighten people's life up. Although you are gentle, you are sometimes good shooter as well. You will sometimes say some words to tease people just like occasionally the ACMV have some water leakage. People might not notice that you're actually 'stabbing' them until 'the water leaks out and floods your foot.

Thierry the Water Distribution System
You are Thierry, the Water Distribution System. You are flexible like water and can blend seamlessly into different communities. You are always on the go. when coming from PUB you are the clean water but after flushing through the bath tub you become grey water, or black water after mixing with sewage. Your transparency is reflected in your dressing just like how you love wearing FBT shorts and army singlets, exposing the insightful part of your body. You admire NS-men because they are 'fit' and 'big' although they might not suit you ! You probably still need to work out more for that, especially sit-ups. :) Also, you are adaptable and fit like water into any container you are in. You are most probably the most successful Malaysian students who can truly blend into the local community. Perhaps this is what confuses you between your imagined identities, but the sure thing is that you're happy that you're moving away from being 'malaysian' quote "eh! I realized that my mandarin sounds more and more like Singaporean liao, yours still sound like malaysian" The good thing about you is that you're always positive and confident about your design, like water, your design is always focussed on organic and curvaceous forms, free-flowing and dynamic (like the way you pose and dance). Also, you are very easy to bully, and although you say alot of nonsense we all know deep down inside that you're a nice, sweet, innocent guy (need to help you out leh, hey girls, interested or not). And sometimes even your weird dancing can bring smiles to our faces (although the smiles are mainly accompanied with eye rolling). You are always ready with a positive word if we are down, and your self confidence is admirable. Yeah, we really need you. Don't change, but do cut your hair.

Clarence the IT & Communication System
You are Clarence the IT and Communication System. You resemble the infamous Malaysian Broadband Service Streamyx in Malaysia. Sometimes you can be very, very fast, other times you cannot even connect, or slow until everyone feels very frustrated. You are discrete, but you know a lot of things about people. You are the ultimate stalker and are the ultimate underfloor IT system, hidden yet connected to every single computer (community, gang etc) without other's knowledge. Your secret identity is 'c'. You have a lot more secret identities. In order to connect with you, people must know how to use your coding systems. Because you tend to use short forms or characters in mentioning people's name.And, you seem to be interested in using the local slangs ( chop chop, chui), and always repeat them again and again. You have to watch more blue film because your design is too rigid and conservative. Please lah, what sort of porn are you watching? Those with striped pajamas? Get some wild ones. Hey ,but ..but ..but you know, you are actually quite determined and knowledgable person. You will set your goals and always strategize the ways to achieve it. Just like the It system , You store everything ( necessary or unnecessary ) in your database , readily to be retrieved . It shows your unselfishness in sharing with others.If anyone wants to get information like where to eat , where to go , what is the best current movie , the history of whatever best stall , asking you is the best liao la!

Chu Hwai the Transport System
You are Chu Hwai, the Transport System. Like the escalator and express elevator within a building, bringing people to different floors quickly and efficiently. You do things fast, act fast, eat fast and like to be FAST. However you are sometimes too systematic and disciplined, much like how the elevator confines itself to only fixed number of floors. You should get out of the elevator shaft my dear!AS in, It seems like you will tend to plan everything before doing something, making a nice schedule or timetable for your daily life... and" die die" must follow them or you will get upset if there are some minor changes. You like to announce things like all your little small personal things to everyone by always repeating them or showing them in your facebook or blog, seeking for attention . Just like the elevator which will have a system to acknowledge people on every floor where it will go and which level it will stop at. you are kind of like easily to get bored, seeking for trying new things to achieve different levels. Hard to be static unless the power is shut off. When you are about to travel fast to very high level, you will get excited enjoying the process, but people who go along with you could feel the" pressure" that you created. especially to their ears.~ ! Although everyone else is stopping at various floors, you end up at the top level without stopping and faster than everyone else.

And together we make up a complete, integrated system in a building! Lets all say 'awwww' to that. :) It's great having a bunch of friends away from home. And I guess one reason why we always stick together is that we tend to understand each other and what we feel as foreign students in a foreign land, with parents and family far away. We share the same languages too, and when we lapse into Malay you must understand that we are trying in some sad way to salvage our identities. (We may also be trying to hide something from you, but that is another matter.) Love you all. Muahmuah.sobs.
