*takes a butter knife and clinks it on the wine glass*


*coughs* I have an announcement to make. As of today, Mochachocolicious is retiring from being its unfortunate source of ranting from its sole owner. Mochachocolicious will now live its retirement in peace and serenity, without the tremendous torture it has been through for half a decade caused by its ridiculous owner's mood swings and needs to rant at most times, and sometimes (if lucky) soothes with motivation inspired by god-knows-what to its owner, and a handful of times sharing pictures and great memories of its owner.

This unfortunate new site will now take over my job, going through its torturous years of serving my psychotic owner (ex-owner in the next few seconds) (hope she doesn't hear this, or I'll be so dead after this) in being a source of communicating her anger, despair and once in awhile, happy days of her life. 


All I got to say is, GOOD LUCK xoxojilly.blospot.com in all your future undertakings.

I AM FINALLY FREEEEEE!

My semester break is over in another couple of days. Remind me again how fast time flies. This is my first semester break spent in KL. Proud to say, it is quite a productive break, not in an academic way however, like how it's supposed to be. I should be working on my final year project which is due in about 7 weeks time. But then again, who am I kidding! This is JILLY SONG u'r talking about. THE JILLY SONG who does best in procrastination.

So what have I been doing for the past 1 and a half week? Sleeping and partying, u must say eyy? This time, I can proudly deny it out loud! Judging from my nature, it's pretty hard to believe eyy? Especially sleeping all day and doing nothing part. I know, I know. I surprise myself too.

I've spent my previous week busy with this 'business' talk thingymajiggy, which I'm not pretty sure how it will work out as yet. And the whole of this week, I have signed up for fitness classes for the next 3 months. And also catching up with some long lost friends, as well as going for a shoot for a corporate short clip.

Everyday for the past half week has been spent on my fitness classes. What fitness classes, u must ask. I've been doing Capoeira and Yoga and doing it everyday for the past half week has really killed my legs and muscles. U know, from my non-fitness conscious mindset, it is a pretty different course of nature. It is fun, and pretty interesting and I'm loving it, minus the fact that my calf and thigh muscles are hurting like mad now. How did I miss this out all these while? I've yet to go for my Muay Thai, Krav Maaga, Mix Martial Arts, Urban Warrior, Systema and Steps classes. Well, we all know what I'll be doing for the next 3 months before heading home for CNY.

Be ready to see a new side of me soon. A fit, toned up Jilly Song is coming to u soon. BWAHAHAHAHA! No, seriously. I'm so serious, I'm not even kidding. Well, maybe a little.

What? U think I can't do this?

Pffttt! U suck!

Yesterday, 31st October 2011, marks my very last day of being a Hitz Cruiser! *pops open a Champagne bottle*
After 9 months of being a Mix FM Roadrunner, and then another 9 months as a Hitz Cruiser, I finally resigned from my job!
I was planning to quit by the end of the year, but due to circumstances, I quit a month earlier than I planned.

This is definitely a job that I will miss.
A job with all the media perks (although we get the crappiest, lowest media treatment standard), I have definitely learnt a lot from it and lots of experiences dealing with different kind of people every single day, and working in a team.
But I cannot deny that towards the past few months, things weren't going that well with the takeover of a new person to lead us.
Things were doing hell downhill and all over the place.
Which makes me really happy at this moment, to be out of that situation to deal with all that crap.

But what I miss most will be the people at work.
The people whom I meet almost every single day for the past 1 and a half year, and spent most of my time with. And all the people in the office whom I will go up to annoy.

ADIOS HITZ! ADIOS AMP!

Once again, I'm reminded how much people don't appreciate u.
Growing up has taught me a lot about whom to trust and whom not to.
Who appreciates u, and who don't.
One thing for sure I learnt is not to pour in your heart and soul into anything at all, be it your relationship or your job and career.
Coz if it doesn't turn out expectantly, u'll get crushed to your very last piece.

I know this sounds very un-encouraging, but this is the truth.
Nobody ever said the truth doesn't hurt.

Practically, life is not like the movies.

I only have certain people in my life whom I trust.
My mom, my sister, and a couple of my bestest friends I ever knew. U guys know who u are :)
Other than that, it's really hard for me to gain trusts on anybody else.
Not because I have issues, but coz I've been proven right over and over again.
Don't be fooled by all the nice looking people out there.
Especially those whom u work with.
Lots of double headed snakes out there.

Only certain people are trustable and dependable.
Open your eyes real wide and see clearly for yourself.
Don't get hurt by all these fucktards.
They're not worth the heartbreak, like I said, be it work or relationships.

here's so much going through my head.
I was very looking forward to finishing up my studies.
But now that I'm so close to it, having one more paper to sit for for this term, and another 7 weeks for the next term, I would be finishing up this degree of mine, if everything goes well of course.
But now that I'm that much closer to it, I'm kinda scared to know what I'm going to be doing next year.

One thing for sure that's bothering me is, where do I go from here?

And suddenly at this moment, graduating is the very last thing I want to achieve for now.
Suddenly coming to the end, I want to be a student, albeit how much I hated studies before this.
Weird, but true.
I don't enjoy having to go to classes, doing homework (not like it bothers me coz I never did any homework since my Diploma days) and handing in assignments and burning midnight oil for exams.
But despite how much I hate being a student, I suddenly want to remain being a student.
Call me weird, coz I find myself weird too.

I have so many different plans popping into my head every single day.
One day, I wanna be working and travelling in Aussie before I start a full-time job,
Another day, I want to work in Singapore.
Another day, I want to work and travel in the States for the summer program.
Another day, I find myself looking at Uni's to continue my Masters.
Another day, I just want to go back home and settle at home for a bit.
Days pass by, and with each passing days, my motives change like how seasons change.
Or more like, how the hours of the day change.

Bottom line is, I don't want to face the future.
I'm pretty comfortable with what I have now.
Sad to say, but I'm so dwelt in my comfort zone that I'm so afraid to step out of it.

Dwelling won't get me anywhere.
It's only fair that I sit down and list down all my options, and weigh all the consequences.
It is sad to say that, I'm growing up.
Responsibilities are slowly stacking up.

Truth is we don't know much.
We don't know where the future can bring us.
It gets judgmental from the start.

I have always missed out looking at a bigger picture.
I have always overlooked my way over the the whole picture.
But what I always see is fragments of it, the little parts and pieces.

See, I've never been the kinda person who is grateful enough with what I have.
I think that happens too much with us humans.
Humans are never satisfied, and that's the truth no one can ever denied.
Well, unless u wanna try, I dare u to!

I've came to realize that I've never been grateful when good things happen, but only grieves when ugly things happen.
Sure these couple of years haven't been really good to me, but what I failed to see is how these bad years actually made me a stronger person that I ever am.
How all these bad things had made me more independent than I can ever be, and how much I've grown up ever since.

Well this year, it hasn't been an exception for its ups and downs.
I've got my equal shares of joys, heartbreaking moments, and tough days.
What I have failed to do all these while is open up my eyes, and putting the pieces together.
What I failed to do is see the whole share as a bigger image.

And now that I've realized it, I've finally managed to join the pieces together.
Over the past 10 months of this year, I've had good times, and also bad days.
I've had my share of love, and my share of heartbreaks.
I've had days where I've achieved, and days where I failed.
But over the past 10 months, I've realized that everything happened for a reason.
And with every bad thing that happened, there is something else that is arranged to overcome the sorrow.

I've been grateful that the companionship I was given, was there to overcome the loneliness I've been facing.
The new friends I met, are there to compensate the ones that I lost.
And the courage I had built up, is there to sweep away the weaknesses that I had.

I can't believe that through this 22 years of my life, I've failed to see this big, broad image that highlights everything so clearly.
But now that I've broaden my sight and my view, I'm grateful for everything the big Man up there has arranged for me.

I've finally seen the whole picture, now it's your turn to do so.
U will find that life is pretty damn interesting!

5 Things I Cannot Live Without


These past 5 years, ever since I stepped foot in KL for studies, my lifestyle changed drastically from how it used to back in the ever so sweet home in Kuching.
Back then, these are the things I can survive without, but now, if u take them away from me, I think I will go nuts!
Yeah lifestyle back there and here is pretty distant.
I used to be able to survive only on TV. But I guess not having a TV or more particularly, a cabled TV here pretty much makes u dependent on other sources of technology.

And being dependent on these technologies aren't such a good thing.
Dependency is never a good thing, in any ways I can think of.



My dependency list starts with my laptop. The main source of 90% of the 5 things I cannot live without! 

I cannot understand how I can survive without the internet these days.

My ever so reliable earphones that helps me drown out the surroundings and just soothes me into whatever I'm listening to, or watching.

YouTube! Before, I never quite understand how people can watch YouTube all day long, but stumbling onto some super awesome channels keeps me hogging on to YouTube whenever I'm on the internet. I guess YouTube pretty much replaced my cable TV needs.


And last but not least, my ever so important cell phone! The first thing that really accompanied my when I came over here. The only gadget I can depend on to get me through the boredom.



But then, all the gadgets I'm dependent on right now are slowly dying on me. Is it sad or what? All coming to the end of it's life all at almost the same time  :( 
So, are there any sponsors for these replacements?




Anyone at all?

Well, I guess not.
I shall start skipping all my meals, save up every penny in my pocket, and probably beg, or rob the bank.

The past 2.5 months passed by like lightning strikes, and I'm not kidding.
It felt like I just picked the darling up from KL Central and the companionship began.
Leaving the house everyday and coming back home to see each other everyday.
It definitely felt different having someone around me all the time (I'm too used to being alone).
But it wasn't something that I couldn't get used to.
Surprisingly, it was something I adapt to very quickly and comfortably.
U see, I'm not the kinda person who adapts to living with someone else that easily.
I remembered having a friend over for a night at my place, had already put me in this super uneasy feeling.
Or the one few times where I had ridiculous attitude housemates, where I could not continue staying with such bunch of brats.
But this time, I coped with it the second the darling got here.
And I am quite proud for that change in my acceptance.

Yesterday marks the last day of companionship with the darling.
And today, actually right now, she's on her flight to Christchurch with her mom.
A week and a half later, she'll be back in the apartment for a day before flying off back to Kuching and then to Melbourne.
Dropping her off the the Central yesterday gave me a heavy heart.
"2.5 months is already over, REALLY?" was what was going through my head, coz it sure hell didn't feel like it has been that long.
I guess I've been too caught up with so much work that I didn't even feel time passing.
And looking back, we've went to quite a number of places together, but we could have gone to more and did more stuff, but work was kinda holding me back.
And when work wasn't holding me back, I'm just too lazy to leave my comfy bed that I wasn't spending enough time with.
Now looking back, I felt bad for wanting to stay home so much and not bring the darling around as much as I could have.

But anyways, what I wanted to say was, I'm still not getting used to the scene of being all alone.
For the past 2.5 months, I have been going to classes the most in my past 2 years of my degree course (although I still skipped quite a number of classes overall), all thanks to the darling.

If u'r reading this babe, I hope you're having fun in NZ! Not like u'll be reading this in NZ coz your laptop is here with me. So if u'r reading this when u'r back, I hope NZ treated u well.
I'll be praying so that there is non-existence of aftershock in Christchurch during your stay there.
Be safe and take good care. And most of all, HAVE FUN!
Waiting to see pics from your trip!
And I'll most probably see u next year in Melbourne again! (After the 1 day that I'll be seeing u next week, of course)





me LOOOVVEEEEE u lonnnnggg time!

Slap me and wake me up.
I couldn't imagine how such a short journey could caused such huge impact, and I still can't understand it.
A short journey, yet a far one.
I've never thought I would ever fall into this kinda trap.

Going through this mental turmoil is definitely not fun.
True as it is, I guess I've been fooling myself into thinking that I'm alright.
That I'm up and tall on my own two feet.
Like the darling said, I've buried it so deep that I forgot about its existence.
As much as I want to grief over it, I just can't get myself to do it.
The darling said I've been strong for too long I've forgotten how it feels like to have tears rolling down.
I guess I've bottled this emotion up too much.

But meeting someone who resembles u so much in person really just push me into this deep dilemma.
I wish I could let u know that I miss u.
But truth is, it's not as easy as picking up the phone and calling the other side of the handset.

It's hard to wait for something u know might never happen, but it's harder to give up when u know it's everything you've ever wanted.
But when you're non-existent, the hope is also non-existent and I guess the only thing to do is to walk away from this pain.

But the question now is, how and where do I start, again?

People always say, stop looking back into the past and move on with life.

Well, some people dwell too much in those regrets, looking at the flashback moments before their eyes, wishing that they could change something about it, while overlooking what is in front them, and miss out on a bigger picture life could offer.
A bigger picture that could erase all those regrets that are flashing before their eyes at that very same moment they spent dwelling in sorrow which could lead them no where.

Yes, that might be somehow true, and partly, if not fully agreeable.
But truth is, without looking into the past and all the regrets done, how would one actually move on without repeating the same mistakes?

Looking back into the past could actually open up your eyes and make u see life more clearly.
Lets u see those mistakes u have did that build up those regrets.
Make u go "why didn't I realize this earlier?" or "how could I not see this coming?" or "why did I or why didn't do that?"
Makes u think a little harder and see the consequences of your actions.

Looking back at those past memories could actually help u to move on with in life a little easier.
Make u learn to appreciate life a tad bit more.
Make regrettable mistakes a little lesser.
And cherish everyone around u a whole lot more.

Now, whoever said looking back is a mistake one should never do?
Well, I don't know about u, but I think a little glimpse of the past would not hurt.
Memories will always be there, be it good or bad.
It's just the way u choose to look at it.

After all, this is your life.
If u can't even look into your past and all u've been through, how can u look yourself into moving forward and starting a new chapter?
Accept your past, and if you don't like it, change it on your future.
Make your future a memorable one, that can help u overcome your past, regrets and sorrows.

Life is short.
If u don't start today, when are u ever going to?

Everybody has their flaws. Some people just don't know how to be nice to people. Some just like to boss people around. Or say things that they don't mean to say. But u know what I do best? I drive people away, I drive them out of my life. And that has never been a problem for me. Driving people away.

Sometimes, I sit by myself thinking, why am I equipped with this supernatural power that I can't seem to control. I don't necessary need to do anything at all to drive people away. It just naturally happens when I don't do anything.

Funny thing is, it happens to people whom I actually want remained in my life. And on the other hand, people whom I don't want around, it always take a million times the effort (that I actually never put in), to drive them out of my life.

These people whom I don't wish to have around, maybe these people are those who sincerely wants to be around. While those who walked away, maybe they deserved to not be in my life. I don't know, I never understand the logic to it.

Maybe I need to open up my eyes to see who really deserves to stay and who deserves to be driven away. Or maybe I just need to wake up and see what the problem is within myself. Maybe I haven't been doing enough to deserve them. Maybe I've been missing out on the big picture.

Bottomline is, I drive people away. But I don't want to.

What if?

It struck me just a moment ago, after talking to the darling, that this has always been my ultimate question of all time.

What if I didn't do what I did?
What if I did what I didn't do?
What if I said words that I didn't say?
What if I didn't blurt out words that I've already said?
What if I knew the consequences and outcomes?

But now, the ultimate question is, if u could go back in time and change those things u did, or did not do, will u do it?
Will u go all the way back and change your actions to see a different outcome?
If u knew how the outcomes would be, will u try and do things differently?

There certainly are a lot of what if's in my life.
Constantly wondering if things would be better if I took the road not taken.
There certainly are a lot of regrets too, especially when things didn't turn out well. And that is when the ultimate question pops up, and keeps me wondering in my lost mind.

But if u were ever given the chance to take the road not taken, will u?
There definitely has been a lot of disappointments, leading to regrets.
But without those regrets and disappointments, how would I learn to appreciate all the other things in life?
I definitely had had my heart ached, faith crushed, hopes broken, but that is what makes me a stronger person today.
And experiences, that's what makes this ride worthwhile isn't it?

So again, if u were given a chance to go back in time to change one thing u did or never did, will u?

You know how they always say expectations is good because they bring u a step higher in achieving those goals?

Well, think again.
Sometimes in life, it's better not to have expectations because expectations give u a beyond achievable goal to score.

Sometimes, people expect too much. Wait, let me rephrase that. Most of the times, people expect too much.
And when this happens, this is when u know your expectations are way too far beyond achievable.
And these expectations are the ones that will pull u down to your knees, drag u a million miles, making u wonder why the fuck can't things go your way.

I'm not implying that one should not be putting expectations.
Expectations are needed to meet your goals in life too.
But what I'm saying is, these days people tend to expect too much from themselves or from others, be it their other halves, or anyone else that matters.

Give life a break. Quit making life too tough to even be cherished.
Draw down on the expectations, live a moderate life.
Give and take, compromise with life, with your surroundings, and with others around u.
You may actually see the beauty in all those u have missed out on, blinded by all the high expectations.

Appreciate the beauty of things just the way they are.
Because sometimes, things just seem to be more perfect that way.

It has been quite some time since I last left trace of my footprints here eyy?
Even cobwebs are starting to build up!

Well, I guess no updates from me pretty much explains it all.
My life is such a bore.
I have been kept busy with work and studies, routinely that I have nothing else interesting to blog about anymore.

Okay, for an instant update, I'm still ALIVE and KICKING!
That should be a good news right?
Secondly, 24 hours a day is no longer enough, like for REAL!
I've been battling against time every single day, and I don't even have enough hours to sleep.
It feels like I have to wake up the instance I fall asleep.
It's really tiring, but at least I'm keeping my days productive.

Oh have I told u, I have housemates now!
Yeapiedoos, I'm no longer staying alone.
My crazy babe moved in with me together with her wacko bf.
These 2 are my real crazy homies, and I'm glad I have them as my homies.
Things are definitely different having housemates around, with all the compromising compared to staying alone, but all is good :)

Other than that, I have a roommate for the next 2 months too.
The darling came back from Melbourne to do her internship for 3 months in KL and she's bunking in with me for the 3 months she is here.
It has been 1 month and I cherish the companion.

So the past 1 month had been great.
Coming home to the best 3 homies I could ask for, great dinner prepared by the them every other days.
And occasionally by me when the lazy bug decided to go lazy on me and leave me alone.

And I feel healthier too over the past few weeks coz of the constant gyming session.
Which reminds me, I've been slacking from my work-out for 1 week.
Time to get back in shape after last night's fattening buffet dinner at Makan Kitchen at Double Tree by Hilton with mommy dearest.

Just in case u have forgotten how I look like, here's a picture of me as a reminder. FYI, I can finally tie my hair up, ignoring the fact of how much hair pins I have to put on. But the point here is, YES! It has been that long since I've stepped foot here!


Alright, time to snooze!
First day of September. Wake me up when September ends, will u?

Toodles!

I'm doing a pretty great job in abandoning this space, yet once again.
*standing ovation*

I had been busy, busy and busy with work, holidays, entertaining the friends and planning my business.
And it has been taking up all my time, pretty productively too.
Now, I'm draining all my brain juice on how to start up my boutique, with the lowest possible cost.
Brain juice 90% drained out.
Need more brain juice!
Help, anyone?

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some people move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints in our hearts,
and we are never, ever the same.

And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realised your potential, strength, willpower, or heart. Everything happens for a reason, nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless. The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience help to create who you become.

Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.

If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself; it will be hard for others to believe in you.

You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.

This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores. This is in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern. This is in honor of the guys who respect a girl’s every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style.


This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they’re at her door, for the guys who accompany girls to bars as buffers against the rest of the creepy male population, for the guys who know a girl is fishing for compliments but give them out anyway, for the guys who always play by the rules in a game where the rules favor cheaters, for the guys who are accredited as boyfriend material but somehow don’t end up being boyfriends, for all the nice guys who are overlooked, underestimated, and unappreciated, for all the nice guys who are manipulated, misled, and unjustly abandoned, this is for you.


This is for that time she left 40 urgent messages on your cell phone, and when you called her back, she spent three hours painstakingly dissecting two sentences her boyfriend said to her over dinner. And even though you thought her boyfriend was a chump and a jerk, you assured her that it was all ok and she shouldn’t worry about it. This is for that time she interrupted the best killing spree you’d ever orchestrated in GTA3 to rant about a rumor that romantically linked her and the guy she thinks is the most repulsive person in the world. And even though you thought it was immature and you had nothing against the guy, you paused the game for two hours and helped her concoct a counter-rumor to spread around the floor. This is also for that time she didn’t have a date, so after numerous vows that there was nothing “serious” between the two of you, she dragged you to a party where you knew nobody, the beer was awful, and she flirted shamelessly with you, justifying each fit of reckless teasing by announcing to everyone: “oh, but we’re just friends!” And even though you were invited purely as a symbolic warm body for her ego, you went anyways. Because you’re nice like that.


The nice guys don’t often get credit where credit is due. And perhaps more disturbing, the nice guys don’t seem to get laid as often as they should. And I wish I could logically explain this trend, but I can’t. From what I have observed on campus and what I have learned from talking to friends at other schools and in the workplace, the only conclusion I can form is that many girls are just illogical, manipulative bitches. Many of them claim they just want to date a nice guy, but when presented with such a specimen, they say irrational, confusing things such as “oh, he’s too nice to date” or “he would be a good boyfriend but he’s not for me” or “he already puts up with so much from me, I couldn’t possibly ask him out!” or the most frustrating of all: “no, it would ruin our friendship.” Yet, they continue to lament the lack of datable men in the world, and they expect their too-nice-to-date male friends to sympathize and apologize for the men that are jerks. Sorry, guys, girls like that are beyond my ability to fathom. I can’t figure out why the connection breaks down between what they say (I want a nice guy!) and what they do (I’m going to sleep with this complete ass now!). But one thing I can do, is say that the nice-guy-finishes-last phenomenon doesn’t last forever. There are definitely many girls who grow out of that train of thought and realize they should be dating the nice guys, not taking them for granted. The tricky part is finding those girls, and even trickier, finding the ones that are single.


So, until those girls are found, I propose a toast to all the nice guys. You know who you are, and I know you’re sick of hearing yourself described as ubiquitously nice. But the truth of the matter is, the world needs your patience in the department store, your holding open of doors, your party escorting services, your propensity to be a sucker for a pretty smile. For all the crazy, inane, absurd things you tolerate, for all the situations where you are the faceless, nameless hero, my accolades, my acknowledgement, and my gratitude go out to you. You do have credibility in this society, and your well deserved vindication is coming.
