An Email and a Talk

     You know how sometimes you give people feedback through emails or reply them and you don't hear anything from them? Then you begin to wonder if anybody even looks at their emails or not. Well, my fellow ex-Utarians, wonder no more. The UTAR Alumni does read theirs. And I thought they would not even bother to reply me. Hahaha.

     What happened was, the UTAR Alumni would always send out emails to the alumni informing us of any upcoming events or talks that are held in the centre.

     I began to notice that the emails regarding the talks, always reaches my inbox late. It's not a big thing. I could say, I don't care, it's not my problem. But I found it weird that the emails reached me after the talk has been gone and done with. Then you ask yourself, what's the point of the emails then?

After a few times, I sent the email below to our Alumni.


And yes, I know. It's supposed to be "a computer generated email" and not as how I put it in the email. Urgh!! You can't generate a computer.... KATH!!! *embarrassed* And a typo!!! Of all the things to do wrong.... email 101. No typos!!!

Yup, so that was sent and a day later I found this in my inbox.



Lol. I felt slightly bad at first for complaining but hey, at least they know too right? Imagine if they kept at this for years...!! Then they will wonder why no one comes for the talks. Now they know too... See, I'm helping them. :) Hahaha.

Though judging from the personal reply above, it makes me wonder whether anyone else has noticed this problem too. My guess is most probably not. Oh well.

So, my dear friends, you are warmly invited for the above talk. 'Chinese Genealogy'. It's open to the public so anyone can go. You want to trace your roots, go! You want to find a long lost relative, go! Or you just want to support UTAR, go! Haha.

Oh, I'm not able to go though. Hahaha. Maybe next time.... :D

To Mr. KT

This post is written in honour of (no, scratch that), is written with the objective to give someone a piece of my mind. (Want my cerebrum or medulla oblongata?) Firstly, this person complained that I did not update my blog often enough. Then he said, "Kenny Sia updates everyday." Yeah right, it's not everyday la Tai Kor! And why compare me to him? I'm so tiny and puny in the blogsphere. Heh. Anyway, I'm super busy and super tired and has had no inspiration whatsoever to blog about anything till today. (Thanks to somebody...) Before I go into the second part, for all those who have yet to hear about it, (it's been publicized in her FB), my sister, Eileen is now formally engaged to her sweetheart of six, seven years. Congrats to my dear dear sister. Finally, eh? Hahah. The second part is related to this. Not referring to my sis, but me. Our good friend who complained that I don't update often, had the gall/balls (Grr...) to 'insult' me. When I sh...

30 Day Blog Journal

Image
Sometimes, we bloggers run out of topics to talk/write about. Then we sit and stare at our computers, racking our brains, hoping something will crop up. More often than not, what pops up are silly, stupid and gives people the "What?" impression kind of posts. Hence to be more "organized" and so-called creative, I have decided to jump on the bandwagon as well and do a 30 day blog journal thingie. I am not sure if you have to do it 30 days straight or you can take 30 days to complete, by which could take me the whole year basically... Defeats the purpose doesn't it? Hahaha. I'll try to complete it in 30 days straight, becasue who knows, halfway through, something exciting crops up right? Here's the list of what you can expect in the coming days. Day 1 – your favorite song Day 2 – your favorite movie Day 3 – your favorite television program Day 4 – your favorite book Day 5 – your favorite quote Day 6 – 20 of my favorite things Day 7 – a photo tha...

Of Vampires and Werewolves

I've never really been an ardent fan of the Twilight series(boo...says you). And I have no idea why some girls go gaga over Edward the vampire. He looks so paste-y with the bloodshot eyes (yea yea he's supposed to look that way). And bleah! I think he looked way hotter in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as Cedric Diggory . That, I can go gaga. But in Twilight??? The romance between Edward and Bella is fine. Romantic, mushy and cliched. Heh. But there's nothing much for me to shout about. (Sorry to the ardent fans, esp to my three sisters. Ha.) This year, the next sequel in this series is about to be released tentatively in November. Known as New Moon , the title is definitely appropriate since the werewolves play a bigger role this time. I didn't read any of the books in the Twilight series though my sisters finished the whole lot of it. So there's no doubt I have no idea of what's going on in the next book. But judging from this trailer of the next sequ...
