In memories of a dear friend's girlfriend

I had futsal on thursday night, and i was talking to my high school friend, chung lern bout his life and how's he doing, apparently he just got back from aussie, so i was like "where's your gf?" he said she (Nian Ning) will be coming to KL on the following day from penang... And so friday night after clubbing, i got home, i received a shocking news from a closed friend, saying that Nian Ning, has passed away in a bus accident from Penang to KL! i don't want to go into the details how, but it happened at slim river, north south highway!

Here's what on The Star paper...
PENANG: She had the world at her feet but death robbed medical student Lee Nian Ning of a brilliant future.
The straight As student, former state swimmer and accomplished Girl Guide was on the double-decker express bus from Penang to Kuala Lumpur which crashed near Slim River on Friday.
Nian Ning, 21, a Public Service Department (PSD) scholar at the University of New South Wales in Australia who was on her way to visit friends in Kuala Lumpur, was among three passengers who perished when the driver lost control of the bus and slammed into a divider.
“We learnt that the driver had 13 summonses against him. Why had the company not screened him and realised that he was not competent to drive that bus? “I wonder why the authorities still allowed such a monster to roam our streets?” asked Nian Ning's distraught father Lee Hock Chuan, 50, a company human resources director.
He also expressed disappointment over the bus company's reaction to the tragedy.
“They know who the victims are and yet, I have yet to receive a single call from them. There is not a single representative from the company here today to pay respects to my eldest daughter,” he said.
The family is contemplating legal action and Lee appealed to witnesses to come forward. “It won’t bring her back but we just want justice to be done,” he said.
The attractive Nian Ning, who stood 1.72m tall, was a national backwoods cooking champion and had set her sights on becoming a doctor.
She scored straight As in both the UPSR and PMR and obtained 11A1s and one A2 in the SPM exams.
“From a young age, she was so clear about her goal. Even though she had been approached to be a model, the only thing she wanted to be was an orthopaedic surgeon,” said her mother Ong Keep Gim, 48, a teacher.
Friends and family of the young victim paid their respects at her home in Taman Gelugor yesterday.
She was later cremated at the Batu Gantung crematorium.
More than 20 of her closest friends also created a scrapbook with personal messages to their friend.
“She was determined and a perfectionist,” said J.A. Cheng, 20, who was Nian Ning's schoolmate.
“She knew what she wanted in life and achieved her dreams. We will miss her very much.”

Chung Lern and Nian Ning’s families would like all families and friends of the victims, dead or alive, in the Slim River Bus Crash to come forward and join them in taking action against the bus company. Stand up to seek justice for these three innocent individuals, who were all so young and full of life.
If you have a blog, please call out to ANYONE who
knows someone who survived or did not survive
the crash to come forward to join the Lee family.
Make a huge difference, make a huge fuss.
For now, you may contact Lee Chung Lern at chunglern@gmail.com or preferably on his handphone at 012-6670368.

Well i don't know nian ning in person but i've bumped into her and chung lern once at pudu raya, she's very bright, friendly, nice, just like an angel sent from above... SIGH... RIP...

GO SHARAPOVA!!!

-Sharapova crushes top seed Henin at Australian Open- i LAWL-ed
Fifth seed Maria Sharapova demolished world number one and top seed Justine Henin 6-4, 6-0 in the Australian Open quarter-finals Tuesday, ending the Belgian's 32-match winning streak.
Henin's last previous defeat was in the Wimbledon semi-final in July last year, a winning run that included the US Open and last year made her the most dominant woman on the tour since Steffi Graf 18 years ago.
But she never looked in the match against the Russian, who held the Belgian to 6-0 love in a set for the first time since Jennifer Capriati achieved the feat in Montreal in 2002.
"I really felt like I was in my own bubble today," said Sharapova, who will meet Jelena Jankovic in the semi-final after the Serbian third seed ousted defending champion Serena Williams earlier Tuesday.
"I came on the court, I wasn't trying to pay attention to her record or how many tournament's she won, which is an increbible number.
"It's amazing when you go out on court and you feel like you're doing the right thing."
Sharapova, out to avenge a humiliating loss in the final last year to Serena Williams, led from the outset, claiming the opening game after firing down an ace on the second point.
She went a break up in the next after blasting back Henin's serve with interest then attacking the net, leaving her opponent stranded on the baseline.
The Russian, giving full voice to her trademark grunt, then went 3-0 up, leaving a shellshocked Henin with only three points from the opening three games.
The Belgian struggled to contain the power of Sharapova's sizzling forehand, hitting her returns wide, but finally managed to get on the scoreboard after 14 minutes.
She looked rattled at the ferocity of Sharapova's onslaught as the Russian took it to 4-1, holding a towel to her face between games while her opponent stared intently into the distance.
Sharapova pushed her to break point in the sixth game and Henin fought back, eventually prevailing after going to deuce four times, but the effort cost her and she was gasping for breath as the Russian went 5-2 up in the next.
Henin made two double faults serving to stay in the first set, only saving the game after throwing up her racquet to catch a Sharapova lob.
The Belgian lifted in the next and broke back, yelling "allez", or come-on, in celebration.
But she could not hold serve, fending off three set points before netting a backhand to give Sharapova the first set after 61 minutes.
Sharapova's dominance continued in the second, again breaking Henin in the second game to go up 2-0.
The 25-year-old Belgian gifted Sharapova break point with another double fault in her next service game and the Russian pounced on the opportunity to go up 4-0.
She again had no answers to Sharapova's serve in the fifth and looked shaken as she prepared to serve in the sixth to stay in the match and avoid a humiliating 6-0 second set scoreline.
The Russian again took her to match point with the Belgian defeated after netting a backhand return after 98 minutes.

i just felt so good after reading this, and i watch this

Purau Pinang the isrand

Man, purau pinang people can't drive, or more like nothern malaysians, basically they are divided to 2 big groups, one is super reckless, one is super ignorant, OMFG! and they have one thing in common, which is they thought they are the only one driving on the damn road! wtf man, for the reckless type, they just drive left and right and going so "fast" at 67km/h without using their rear view and side mirrors, when i was driving up the bridge, there's this U-turn for the on coming traffics to U-turn back to the island if they accidently got up the bridge, one noob just freaking u-turn so fast as if there's no car on my direction, like i have to break hard just to avoid him, and i saw that fcuker's face, so bloody "lala". Well, the other is the ignorant drivers, they like to drive slow and "steady", in the middle of the road, on the dotted line, wtf man? like if i want to overtake but scared they suddenly cut out because they don't use their side mirrors remember? So what you do in such situation? you honk the noob right? and that is exactly what i did, i bloody honk so many times but they just effking ignore the honking and still drive in the middle of the road! I gave up and just trail behind them at 19km/h, resting my legs... sigh! and that happens all the time, just come to northern malaysia and you'll know what i'm talking bout... Plus, there're more wirolution, wajamprezza, kancivic, than KL... and worse, yamahenzo motorcycle, very fast~
