This is for you

Name: Gan
Full name: Ganesan Palaniappan
Age: Take a wild guess
Species: Sensitive issue (tree?)

It had been more than 1 and a half years since I first knew Gan. Gan, I actually sometimes forget that your name is Ganesan because I'm so used to calling you Gan! - It's like your other name already. By the way do you normally introduce yourself as Gan or Ganesan? (curious) How should I describe Gan? Gan is like the organizer for our class- from birthday events to class outings. In other words, the initiative one. Everything has an icon, for example, Pampers is an icon for diapers, McD represents fastfood, guys represent evil, and you Gan, represent this phrase- Always helping a friend in need, and also not in need. He is like a grandmother willow tree where you can just tell whatever you feel like telling. By the way, I did not mengagung-agungkan you OK, it's true. Gan is one of the nicest friend I've ever known. Define nice- You have to know him before you know what I'm talking about. He is like our tai kor, who always willingly and initiatively informing us about the current updates of our classes, reminders and on-going events. Gan is most of the time humorous and sometimes very sarcastic! And so I'll turn my sarcastic mode On and play along :)

Goodbyes are always the hardest to say, especially when it's face to face. Maybe because I'm a very emotional person who almost cried at dinner. So, I decided not to go to the airport to go through another round of torturing goodbyes which might make you cry (coz I will definitely cry). You are suppose to walk through that gateway thingy happily! Ireland is gonna steal you for 9 months before returning you to M'sia. Till then, goodluck and all the best! And make sure it's a one person ticket back here, and not 4! ;)

The Click Five

The Click Five went to midvalley! To makan and watch movie :) Not the real Click Five la, it's just the 5 of us- Shu Jiun, Juan Lyn, Gan, Kah Tuck and I! We watched a movie called Halloween. Well, I made a pretty huge mistake about the storyline which I read it online. I thought it's about zombies since I saw zombie-looking pictures, and I saw the word zombie. However, it's the director's name! ROB ZOMBIE! OMG! And so, the whole story is about a psycho guy, and some killing scenes were quite disgusting. It's more like a disgusting thriller movie more than a horror movie.

Anger and Emo Management

How do one avoid being emo and angry? I think it can only be done if you have a good control of your emotions. You are in charge of yourself and not let emotions take over you. Obviously it's easier said than done but the least one can do is to minimise emotions from taking over. Last time I prefer to keep everything inside me and not let it out. However, it is not the best way to handle my emotions. I would eventually become worst. Nowadays, I would immediately release my emotions whenever I need to instead of pretending that everything is fine. Since problems will be faced sooner or later I'd rather solve it as soon as possible. Why waste time?

Whenever I have an argument I would think about it and learn from it so that similar incidents would not happen because of that particular reason. It would be a pity and waste of time to argue because of the same reason over and over again. I remember being very stubborn whenever I'm in an argument. I wouldn't want to take a step back and listen to what others say. Every word I hear seems to be just floating around my head and did not pay attention to them. I would usually take about a day to cool down and then I would only be willing to really listen to what the other person has to say. It did not bother me at that time about the amount of time the other person had to spend just to make me listen.

So, if one is just willing to calm down quick and really listen, problems are not a problem anymore. Throw away the selfish side and think from the other person's point of view for a second, and you will realise that you are not the only one feeling unhappy about the problem. Everytime when I think that I'm the unhappiest person on Earth, I would think about other people in the world who is suffering 10 times more. That would definitely make me wake up from thinking I'm the most miserable person ever.

Being angry at someone is actually quite a difficult task. Having to find reasons and remind myself the reason to be angry is tough. It is easy at the beginning when there is so much anger in me but after awhile the reasons start to fade away. When I slowly get my brain back to normal state, the reason is not strong anymore for me to be angry. For example, person A did not agree with person B in a group assignment and so they started arguing. Is it possible to be angry for a long time just because of different thoughts and opinion? To me, finding a solution awhile after being angry would be good. Instead of asking why are you this and that it's better to ask how to solve this and that.

Tortoise in a Shell

Sometimes I prefer to just stay in my room all alone. Well I can say that I'm quite used to it, prefer the silence. There are times when the phrase "The More The Merrier" works but at times being alone is great. Keeping quiet is better than being a chatter box till someone gets annoyed with you- if there are unnecessary comments then it's best to just keep it to yourself. I'm can say that I'm more towards an introvert than an extrovert and there's nothing to be ashamed of. Unlike some who die die also claims to be an extrovert even though they are not. Big deal! The most I would do is take photos with strangers and not yack with them the whole day acting as though I know them for 10 years. Conclusion is be myself and that's the best.

My Godzilla

Tiny Collections

This was my first Tiny Collection

It opens up like a pocket toy. I can play with this for a long time by just moving those 2 minnie and mickey around this box.

That is my favourite part of the whole piece. The treasure box!

The Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

I lost 2 of the dwarfs

Turn the purple barrel and Snow White will start dancing!

Dinner time

That's the evil witch peeping into the house
This house definitely cost more than Mickey and Minnie's.

Cinderella's castle

It opens up
That's the carriage with Cinderella in it
Prince Charming and his princess
That is suppose to be the fireworks. I used to be very fascinated by it.

Cinderella is trying on her glass shoes, while her stepmother and stepsisters are eyeing on her.

Ooops, Cinderella dropped her glass shoes.

15 more minutes before it's 12midnight!
Her wedding banquet. Wonder where are all the guests.



That's the fairygodmother transforming Cinderella into a pretty princess

The castle lights up!

These little toys ain't cheap, the bigger it gets the more expensive it goes. There are a few more which of course I do not have, but I'm happy to have owned these when I was a kid.
