Gone are the days...

Gone are the days..
..where useless worries doesn't exists

..when I needed money, I just say " Pa, can you give me $? I want to buy..."

..7am reach sikul, 1pm go home, 2pm noon nap, 4pm PLAAYYYYYYY sampai comot, 7.30pm malas mandi pun tida apa, watch Power Rangers until my sweat went dry, 9pm baru mau pi mandi, 9.30pm sambung tingu tv (McGyver, Dunhill Double shows, Jangan Ketawa, drama silat Melayu, America's Funniest Home Video, Kisah Benar..etc), 11pm SLEEEEEPPPPPPPPPP!!!!! (schoolwork? hehehe)

..where makan keropok 30sen is enough to make me happy, or 1osen = 2 biji gula gula

..where all friends are my 'best friend'.."si A best friend sia tu"...."si B pun best friend sia juga tu"..."ei, best friend sia tu, jan ko cakap buruk pasal dia ah...sia kestau dia nanti"

..when FASHION doesn't seem to matter!!!!!!! Asal ada t-shirt yang ada kartun Ninja turtle/Sailormoon/Mickey Mouse, and seluar jeans pendek, plus slipar jipun...kay, boleh pigi Milimewah sudah!

..Oh ya, when pigi Milimewah alone can make me happy...atau kedai runcit sana simpang jalan..beli kotak mainan TORA. hahahaha.." TORA datang lagi!"

..panjat pokok mangga orang and steal the buah (in labuan, behind my house. partner in crime? Lovely, my cousin)

..when once me n cousins jolok buah mangga yang belum masak, and when my late granpa nampak, he terus kejar us with his walking stick!!!!!!! Dashyat... =p (this was in KK)

..when we used to have PICNICS with family friends..sigh, do you know how beautiful a picnic by the beach is?? And then main air laut the whole day until sun burn + hitam lepas tu malam2 nangis gara2 kepedihan dan kepedasan kulit...kotoh.

..when angkol-angkol yang profession businessman only have ATUR. siap dengan bateri saiz sebesar laptop 12", dengan jumlah berat melebihi 3kg, in the jungle also can get reception wan. Now, primary 3 kids have phones with 3G+bluetooth+radio+camera+Godknowswhat!

..when I, used to be a carefree kid..oh how I took things, time and nature for granted! Sigh~~

Freedom Film Fest 08'

FFF 08' Penang
26th - 28th Sept
Wawasan Open University

I was actually not really looking forward to be volunteering for the Penang FFF that was held in Penang recently. Entah, mainly because I'm malas kot...this is my well known sickness =p But as the days drew closer on the events, I recalled the FFF I attended back in 2 years ago. I remembered feeling inspired after watching a few screenings. And also sedih plus geram at the same time. Inspired by the movie makers for berani bersuara for our rights, tru the making of movies...showing the real 'issue' that is happening in Malaysia, and 'issues' that affecting us Malaysians. Sedih and geram at how we ditipu, dianggap bodoh, ditindas, diambil kesempatan, not getting equal rights...especially to those under privillage. MALAYSIA BOLEH!! Piiiiraaaahh..!! Anyway, I finally decided to go help and volunteer because...well, I terfikir if I want to help to make a difference in our Bolehland, the least I can do is to be part of this and give my support. And of course, I was looking forward for the screenings..in which were free. Kalau pun mau dibayar, aku sanggup eh... So without 'cakap'ing banyak, I have uploaded some pictures taken during the film fest. Some I copy from KOMAS website..hehe. Oh ya, to know more about FFF or KOMAS..its one click away!

Jelutong MP, DAP Jeff Ooi was there

Ohya, having two laptops not because I'm kaya....one is mine, the other is work punya =) hehe...

p/s: Bila to have new gomen nihhhh??? 916 is way overdue...

Dee MeLoDy

Of course, Dee Melody is not my real name. But there is a reason why I use this name for my blog profile.
And the reason is because it IS my name...well, at least to my Uncle Bonnie, it is lah. Not my MyKad =)
Back in zaman budak hingusan, I used to be very fond of my then single Uncle Bonnie. Oh by the way, he is my dad's younger bro. And now he is married with a lovely wife and have a cute and hyperactive daughter.
I grew up in Labuan, and whenever it is a school holiday break, my parents will usually send me and my younger sister, Debbie back to KK first, they will come later. Cos di Labuan teda kawan, kazen2 semuaaaaa di KK..so kena hantar balik lah.
Aaanyway, I remember once at my grandma's hse, I was waiting for him to come home from work. When I saw his car approaching, I quickly got up and waited for him at the car porch. And just as he opens his car door, " Uncle!!!! Bawa sia pi makan KFC!!!" Hahahaha...budak hingusan betul. Kan zaman dulu2 budak become extra gembira if you bring them to KFC.. =p

I couldn't exactly remember when he started calling me Dee MeLody, and totally have NO idea why he calls me that. But I know I like it cos I think its cool he can come up with that name and fits with my first name =) Whenever he sees me he'll go 'Cynthia Dee Melody!', plus him pinching my nose, giving it a twist or the least is he ruffles my hair. And believe me, he still calls me by that name today, but minus all the playful act lah =) Hehheeee..
I guess if one day I become a celebrity I'll use that name?? Hehehe...signature anyone? hahaha...palui, perasan betul...

Oh, since I'm on this topic of my-name-but-not-exactly-my-name; here's a list of names family, relatives and friends call me
1. Cyn
2. Cyntut
3. Cyntiuk
4. Dee Melody
5. B****tut ----> too embarrasing to tell, haha! Can anyone guess? You guess it right i belanja you KFC =p Nama timangan bah ni
6. Amoi
7. Sumandak talawa....ececece, minta puji ja bah ni! no one calls me this..haha, =p
