The Climb

It's been a while since I wrote something here. I started working and life is a cycle that goes on and on. Now I know why people dread working. However, I did manage to get a twist from my usual cycle last weekend. Climbed the glorious Mount Kinabalu and made it to the top!

It was not easy. It was definitely challenging whether physically or mentally especially for a person who is so passive like me. The many hours of climbing drenched the energy out of me. I was dead tired after a 6km long trail of climbing uphill but the journey did not stop there. After dinner, me and the other two cousins went to bed before waking up to continue the climb to the summit again. Woke up 1.30am to get ready and had some food before starting to climb at 3am in the morning.

Trekking in the dark under the moonlight, arrived the summit after hours of climbing those rocks. The moonlight that night was so bright that it shown every contour of the mountain. Had to use ropes to climb those steep areas and it was not an option. I freaked out. I did. One wrong step and I would be rolling down the mountain. I made it through though. Overcome my fear and got through stages by stages. After the many hours, reached the peak of the mountain with the help of a friend. It was such a blessing that it didn't rain on the way up that night. Thank God for the good weather that I made it through.

The entire journey was exhausting. I injured my knee on my way down the mountain and I had to walk downhill all the way. Brand new experiences gained from this conquest. What I gained from this memorable journey was simply priceless. I conquered the highest mountain in South East Asia and I am proud :) Would I go again? I might ;)
  

Love is a Verb

I know I have been gone for a while. Anyway anyhow, enjoy this passage I adopted from a friend in Facebook.

At one seminar where I was speaking on the concept of proactivity vs reactivity, a man came up to me and said, “I like what you are saying. But every situation is so different. Look at my marriage. I’m really worried. My wife and I just don’t have the same feelings for each other we used to have. I guess I just don’t love her anymore and she doesn’t love me. What can I do?”


“The feeling isn’t there anymore?” I asked.


“That’s right.” he reaffirmed. “And we have three children we’re really concerned about. What do you suggest?”


“Love her,” I replied.


“I told you, the feeling just isn’t there anymore.”


“Love her.”


“You don’t understand. The feeling of love just isn’t there.”


Then love her. If the feeling isn’t there, that’s a good reason to love her.”


But how do you love when you don’t love?”


“My friend, love is a verb. Love — the feeling — is a fruit of love, the verb. So love her. Serve her.
Sacrifice. Listen to her. Empathize. Appreciate. Affirm her. Are you willing to do that?”

In the great literature of all progressive societies, love is a verb. Reactive people make it a feeling. They’re driven by feelings. Hollywood has generally scripted us to believe that we are not responsible, that we are a product of our feelings. But the Hollywood script does not describe the reality. If our feelings control our actions, it is because we abdicated our responsibility and empowered them to do so.


Proactive people make love a verb, Love is something you do: the sacrifice you make, the giving of self, like a mother bringing a newborn into the world. If you want to study love, study those who sacrifice for others, not expecting anything in return and even for people who offend, turns the coldest shoulder or do not love in return. If you are a parent, look at the love you have for the children you sacrificed for. Love is a value that is actualized through loving actions.

Proactive people subordinate feelings to values. Love, the feeling, can be recaptured.

- Covey, S.

Tears

10 years ago, my brother makes me cry because he stole my comics without telling me. Not exactly mine, they were my friend's and I was responsible for them. He took them without my permission and it made me very angry to the point one day I actually cried fighting with him.

Today, my brother made me cry again. Not because of some silly old comics. I was touched with he who has grown up. He asked bout me and parents back home and those little things that made my tears naturally start rolling down. I started crying before I even finished reading the letter.
 

Fear

I am in a transition period of my life now where a new phase is about to begin. I will be starting to work soon. There is so much fear of the many possibilities in the future, the unforeseen possibilities to be exact.

How will work turn out to be?
How will my colleagues be like?
How would my life change?
How long does it take before I reach where I wanna be in my career path?
How would I save money?
How would I arrange my time?

Questions over questions running wild in my head. On top of this, there are other personal matters that bother my mind a lot too. So, if you were to ask me how am I now, I would tell you I am okay (but definitely I could have been better). I guess this is one phase that everyone goes through. Part and parcel of life they say. But as much as I am aware of what is going on, the mind and heart just won't cooperate. Ironic.
 

Rain

It has been quite some time since I last updated eh? I am very much alive here :) Been busy with family back home here and I am just feeling lazy every day.

It's 10am right now and I woke up to the rain outside pouring. It has been going on for hours and hours since last night. I curled up under my blanket and tried to force myself to go back to sleep. Afterall, it is the perfect weather to snuggle under the thick comforter. Somehow, the rain dampens my heart today. Since yesterday to be exact. I turned melancholy.

Many things have been bothering my mind lately. I have not been the person I used to be. I look forward to the days where I can tell myself there will be rainbows after rain. The sun will come out tomorrow. It is so funny that the mind knows what you should do yet the heart refuse to listen. Often they say listen to your heart. It is always easy to say one thing yet to do another.

Trust. Faith. Believe. Those are the things I need the most right now. I need them badly. Is there any potion for these available for sale anywhere? :)

At the mean time, I will be just right here. I will wait for the sun to come out. I will wait for a brighter day. I will wait for the prayers to be answered. Keeping hope in my heart, I will be right here waiting.

  

Life So Far

And so, I have been getting comment from a friend that says that my blog has turned to be mundane and boring. Haha! I guess I blame my laziness to edit photos taken :P and the pretty busy schedule previously where there were exams then come presentation and the final touch up of the thesis. Sounds petty, but when you get your hands on them, you would be running up and down that you won't even have time for meals :(

Thank God everything is over right now. I am currently in Singapore in the midst of the chaos and noises of family love. Aunties, uncles and cousins came from Australia and parents will be here this evening to see bro here. Have I mentioned that I would never replace this set for family for any others? :)

Anyhow, here is a lil update with life so far.

#1 The CSSUKM crowd that attended the Easter Sunday mass at Holy Family Kajang Church

#2 The kaki makan who filled up their stomach like pig during one steamboat session.

#3 Among the great variety of food to choose from is the awesome sotong! Grilled sotong with butter. Yummers~~!!!!!! 

 #4 CHILDHOOD SNACKS!!!! I haven't seen this for such a long time already!!!!!!!!!! Chocolate balls biscuits with the toys inside :P Spotted at Bandar Tasik Selatan train station.

#5 My love! Green tea frappucino from Starbucks! :) Another fav would be Java Chip Frappucino. These were grabbed during the Happy Hour Promotion from Starbucks where all the fraps were half priced. I wish I had more!! :( 

#6 The happy faces that finished their last paper in the master degree year :) and in the blissfulness of Starbucks drinks of course ;)

#7 The most innocent girl among the four girls who had were successfully persuaded by her friends to get a new pants and a new bag when it was her who didn't wanna go out initially. 

#8 The PARTIAL collection of shoes here in KL. I need pumps. I need more sandals.

#9 After thesis presentation and birthday celebration at Pizza Hut :)

#10 The yummy pizza!!!!

That's all for now. Would update pretty soon. See ya soon! :) XOXO from yours truly.

May May Be Good

Hello peeps.

How are you fella doing there? April left and here comes May. As for the the Sabahans, it would be whole month of celebration of the upcoming Harvest Festival at the end of the month. Oh yes, one whole month of drinking celebration. I am yet to be back in my chamber. Currently residing in a friend's home thanks to her and her family's kindness. Or else, I would have to merempat at some kaki lima along the dirty streets of Kajang or claim ownership of the tv room in my block. Thank you very much much for the kindness and may the good Lord shower bless you and your family abundantly. You know who you are :)

I have nothing new or interesting in my life minus the fact that I finished my last examination paper in my whole university years. Not feeling melancholy bout it, yet. I still have my research project presentation this coming Thursday and that would really be the time to put the curtain down on the stage. Before heading back home, I will be doing a pit stop at Singapore to join my parents who are visiting my little brother there. Meeting up the cousins and auntie and uncle from Aussie too! :) Blood is always thicker than water. I am grateful for my family, not only my nucleus family but the entire family. Ah, let me not get carried away.

And so, wish me luck for my presentation. If you have been following me, you should remember that I was assigned to a very strict lecturer as the examiner for my paper. I need all the luck I can get. Fold me cranes and fill my room with em'. Imaginary paper fold cranes also can. 

So here comes May. Please be kind. I am going back somewhere mid of this month and I am looking forward to be at home. Would love to stay at home longer than I usually do before I venture out to the working world again. So, I seek for a whole good month of May and the many coming months. Hold on, did I not ask for that every month? Haha!

Stay tuned. Lots of love from yours truly.
 
  

Examiner

I am feeling blardy discouraged. Just found out that the examiner for my research paper is one of the most strict lecturer is School of Mathematics in my faculty. Damn! Even that day during my proposal presentation, she was the guest lecturer and yet she kept bombarding me with question. Gone case la this time. Well, not that I am not confident with what I did for my project, but her questions were pretty irrelevant and somehow something tells me that she a quite a fussy lady. DOUBLE BIG SIGH.

Haiz, Forget bout it first lah. Lets focus on the upcoming paper first :(
 

Final of the Finals

I am in the middle of my exam week now and I am down with one more paper. That would be the final paper in any final examinations I would ever have. Weeeee. Even with this final paper, I am giving my minimal effort with minimal preparation. Haha! I guess I am really sick of studying already at the moment. I know mostly friends who are would give in anything to be back in university years being thrown with assignments and presentations and projects and the list goes on. I know I would be in that situation when I start working but at the moment, I still do not enjoy cramming up my brain for a paper that would destine my grades and performance on that subject. I am a kind of a person who likes continous assesment which I personally think it is a better way of grading students. Oh well! :)

And so, even if I were to take up pHD someday in the future (which I highly doubt now), I would not be having anymore exam papers unless I decided to take up any external papers for any license or whatever so of course. But oh well, this would be the last exam paper in my university years and I can't wait to get through with it. STQA6034 - Risk Management and Insurance, come to me baby! And soon, I will be bidding farewell to UKM ^_* With the minimal effort I am putting in, I am hoping the paper would not give me a hard time still though (melampau-lampau betul my request). Haha!

Random much? Hehe. It's Easter Sunday today by the way. Happy Easter to Christian my friends and family (and readers who are beyond those mentioned categories if there is any? haha!). Off to church soon. Alleluia for the Lord has risen :) Till the next update, take care there! 

Yours truly,

B
  

Perfection

I am one girl who likes perfection. However, I do not claim myself as a perfect girl.

Everyone has flaws. Not one person is perfect no matter in this world except for the ONE majestic one. As for the rest of us, we are just trying to be the best we can. I am part of this race of human being that tries to improvise myself in every way that I could. In this effort to trying to make a better self, I somehow developed a habit called perfection. I want most of the things around me to be perfect whether they are one petty stuff or any major things ranging from how I lead my life to my work and the list goes on.

I remember those days when I was still in primary school where we had a lot of projects/assignments which includes folio and scrapbook, I would reprint the whole page of work if I spotted ONE itsy bitsy teenie weenie error. Spelling error? Spacing error? Or ink smudged? You name it. Due to this reason, some of those completed projects might be pretty costly at the end of the day. They have to be up to my own standard before they are passed up. At the end of the day, I am happy with the outcome. Though I know it may not be exactly all perfect, I know I have given my best and looking the outcome of those effort simply makes me proud of myself. That self satisfaction is what I am looking for. Till this day, I still do the same thing in my assignments in uni.

Another way to spot this habit in me would be the days where I try to dress up before going out. When I try to pull off some hairstyles that are out of the ordinary ones that I would like to try out, I would just end up with a simple ponytail at the end of the day if I am not satisfied with the outcome of whatever I am doing with my hair. Or nails painting for example. The reason why I am so lazy to paint my nails nowadays is because of single smudge or imperfection of the wet painted nails, I would practically rub everything off. At the end of the day, I would have unpainted nails. 

True enough, this habit of  mine could be very frustrating at times when I do not get the result that I want. Not to mention costly whether you are talking bout time, money or effort. In the process, I might have even stepped on some others' tail and I am truly sorry if you are one of them. However, this strongly characterize who I am and I am happy of the way I am now. Therefore, I shall continue to seek for perfection in everything I can as long as I am not breaking the law. Anyway, being perfectionist is not a crime, no? :)

One Year

Like it or not, the time never stops for you isn't it? Whether you are having a good time or bad time, the clock ticks the same way, same speed every second. At this moment, I feel that the clock that has been ticking for the past one year went tik tok-ing a little faster than it usually it. A few miliseconds perhaps? :)

Back track a year ago, many things happened and they shall all remain as a part of life journey. Let bygones remain as bygones. However, the journey throughout this one whole year has been simply a little too fast too furious. They say time passes faster when you are happy ey? Does this signify I had a great good time of a year? :) Well, life isn't life unless it is combined with a little sugar and lemon with a sprinkle of magic dust. I was not on top of the coaster ride throughout but I have to say I have been blessed with many good things during this period. Way way better than how I expected life.

The journey as a student is coming to an end in approximately two weeks time. I have one final paper for my final semester here and presentation for my research project would be around the same time I reckon. One journey is coming to an end and another more challenging journey awaits. I would sum up my master student's life some other time. At the mean time, let's just look at some kodak moments captured lately.

 #1 A semi failed attempt in a self shot during a late lunch after the first exam paper.

#2 The love for salmon never fade away. 

#3 Sushi Bonanza 2011 with Leon, Fion and Jac @ Alamanda, Putrajaya. Food was awesome but salmon were served a tad too late which was after I was bloated with other stuff only then they were served.

#4 Spotted macaroons for sale and I finally get to taste this thing. Hee~ One was given for free by the abang over the counter ;) Buy 3 free 1! :D :D Not cheap okeh! RM3.90 per piece.

#5 The bestie! :) I love this photo. Looking good, looking great! 

#6 My first time having nasi kerabu and this one was ossum possum! Definitely worth the price. The restaurant (Serai @ Subang Empire) serves plentiful NAISE FOOD!!! I am not exagerating :P

#7 Me and the bestie, Allison @ Starbucks. And the piece of cake in front of us, it is heaven. It is the YOUHAVETOTRYITYOURSELF-pavlova. Sedapmaugilapunyasedap. I would want that for my birthday cake, pretty pretty please?

#8 Woke up at 7.30am and travelled a 2 hours KTM ride to get my hands on the famous Klang bahkuteh. Thumbs up! :D :D I love it to bits! :D Ahhhh... definitely worth the travel!

#9 The current and ex coursemates after a meal together! :) Left to right, Alvin>>Li Mei>> Pei Ying

Well, that's all for now! :) okthanksbye! :) 

Stay tune for more updates. Sorry for the recent negligence though. I know you love me still! :)

Yours truly,

Pitter Patter

The drizzle outside the room that has been going on since last night till this morning reminds me of a song that I used to love so much, sung so often that I remembered the lyrics of the whole song. During those days, the tune of this song would just come up my mind and I start to hum it without me realising. Thanks to Dad's collection of oldies, this song is definitely evergreen! :) Title of the song is "Rhythm of the Rain".

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know
That when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

Rain please tell me now does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another when my hearts somewhere far away
The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart

Rain won't you tell her that I love her so
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

Oh, listen to the falling rain
Pitter pater, pitter pater
Oh, oh, oh, listen to the falling rain
Pitter pater, pitter pater

Have a good day ahead! :)

Yours truly.

A week of good food

...with a good friend! BRIDGET! Missed you many many many! :) :) :)

A week with a dearest friend who is a teacher came to KL for the school holiday  and I had the most awesome time with her. Her boyfriend who came with her visited KL for the first time and both of us were busy bringing him up and down and stuffing him with KL goodness. Aside from the yummy food that made my waistline went a little wider, the best part of the whole was still catching up the loved one! :) :)

After that one week, I went back to my work and work slaps me on the face again stressing me out! *pulling hair* From stressing to destressing then back to stressing again. Gosh, I can't wait for the day I finish my project. I would be doing the chicken dance. Gaaaa.......

 

When life take you by SURPRISE

I have to say, today is not one good day. It was not a bad day for me but the whole day just seem so gruesome, generally. It rained the whole day. Drizzles changed to heavy downpour and it drizzles again. Wet wet day indeed. Not that I am complaining bout the weather but it does feel pretty gloomy. The day didn't get any better with the news of an acquaintance who passed away this morning. Definitely a shocking news.

News about the earthquake that hits Japan in the early of the day started to flood the newsfeed all across the globe. Buildings, boats, cars and many others got swept away by the tsunami that the earthquake triggered.  Not long ago, it was Christchurch. Now, Japan. As if this is not enough, other countries gets tsunami warning following the disaster happened in Tokyo (Japan). Apparently, even my hometown which is the west coast of Sabah (Kota Kinabalu) is warned with high rise of sea level and huge waves. This just made me more upset through the day having to worry bout friends and family back home. I pray that everything will be alright. Please, be safe. Please please please. 

Honestly, when I found out bout the news bout this acquaintance of mine, I was out of words. Though I was not close to him, my mind went blank for some time and I was wondering what has happened to him. I didn't get to know what was the cause till later of the day. It was heart attack. Mind you, he is just as old as I am. Heart attack? I couldn't register it in my brain. I then thought to myself, life is so short. There are so many random things that come knocking on your door surprising you every now and then. Just like this guy, there are many times that I wanted to chat with him on facebook whenever I see him online to catch up.Yet, I never bother to do so, giving myself reason there is always next time. Now, I would never get the chance to do it anymore since there is no more next time. He is not around for the non existence next time anymore. My heart sunk. I have to say that at this age, I do not expect to receive news of death bout my friend/s especially those who are just around my age. Not when you didn't even see it coming. This is not my first time and it surely sucks. It just proves how life can be so......unpredictable. 

  

Central Limit Theorem

In statistics, there is this finding called the law of large number where the larger the sample size, the higher precision and accuracy of prediction for any statistical estimation. This has something to do with central limit theorem.

Of course I am happy to obtain so many data for my project but this also increases the workload. Yes, I am whining about my project again. Transfering data from the sheets of papers to the computer for analysis purpose sure gets into my nerve. For the sake of better estimation, terpaksalah..................

Model for project is not done. Still many to do. STRESS AKU. Gagagagaa~~!! *tarik rambut*

  

Standing Strong

Given what just happened this morning, I would have trembled down IF it was few days back or few weeks back. Now, I am firmly standing strong with nothing holding me back. It is true that whatever didn't kill you would only make you stronger.

Today is Ash Wednesday which signifies the beginning of lent season for fellow Christians. Have a blessed month of lent to you brothers and sisters in Christ. Don't forget to attend mass today. Day of obligation! Also, your abstinence of course. I know what I am giving up, not telling you though! ;)
   

What are Words

2011 American Idol castoff Chris Medina - the guy who touched everyone's hearts and possibly made us shed a little tear with his heartbreaking love story about his girlfriend who currently suffers from brain injury due to a car accident - is the first example of the new partnership between American Idol and Universal Music Group. Chris Medina has been given the opportunity to release his debut single online. "What Are Words" which hit iTunes on February 24th is a beautiful ballad, inspired in his AI story, written by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins.

Go search for his video in youtube. Lazy wanna embed it here. The video is simply touching. Couldn't agree more with the lyrics. The songs has been playing in my head that I have been humming it since I heard it. Anyhow, here's the lyrics:

Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
Anytime you whisper my name, you'll see
How every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most

What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they don't
When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, They never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

And I know an angel was sent just for me
And I know I'm meant to be where I am
And I'm gonna be
Standing right beside her tonight
And I'm gonna be by your side
I would never leave when she needs me most

What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they don't
When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, They never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
And I'm gonna be here forever more
Every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most

I'm forever keeping my angel close

:') Meaningful, no?

Bye bye February

It seems like it is only yesterday that I came back to uni to resume my study. It seems only yesterday that I was back home with my family for Chinese New Year celebration. Like it or not, I have to bid farewell to February while March is playing peek-a-boo with me now. My my, how time flies. Two months of the new year is gone without me realizing it.

Many things happened since the last time I wrote. Lets just be grateful for the good things that has happened. After all, good or bad stuff, they all happen for reasons that I know I might not be able to foresee now. Yes, trying to be optimistic here *getting rid of those negative vibe*.

#1 Went back home for Chinese New Year (CNY) there is no other place better than home. Bonus part would be the aunties and uncles and cousins all gathered round for this auspicious celebration.

#2 Cousin came over from KK and I had the most awesome time with her during those days of spending time together. Reminds me how much we used to do every little or big silly things together. She is definitely the sister that I never get to have. Love you soooooo much!! :')

#3 The comfortable stay :)

#5 Had enough japanese food to last me for...... Nah, I take that back. Don't think I will get sick of em' ;)

#6 Met up with another cousin coming all the way from KK! Very much thanks to the cheap air tickets nowadays I think? Orange or red or blue, thank you the very much for bringing us all closer together! :) South China Sea doesn't seem to be such a big barrier anymore thanks to you guys! :P

#7 Have I mentioned that I love green tea ice cream so much? :) Didn't get to take picture of the best one around I've taste which comes from Renaissance Hotel (Temptation Cafe, I think?) :(

#8 Attended CSSUKM annual dinner for this year with the theme "Fever Night". Yes, I love my dress too, many thanks to Allison for lending it to me!! <3

Aside from those above, I am just busy working on my thesis. Not progressing well. I could say that one third of it is done but I am not proud of that. Hmph! Praying hard I can finish it soon despite the many procrastination! Oh, I am also down with flu and blocked nose! Annoying much? Sigh.

To end this post, BYE BYE FEBRUARY! See you next year! Oh, Mr March, please be kind to me? Pretty pretty please?

Till then, keep coming back here! :)

Big tight from yours truly.

New Room for New Year

It's the 12th day of year 2011 and I am just 2 weeks away from home. Wait for me lovelies, I will be home for Chinese New Year!! Get your red packets ready and fill em' up with lotsa moolahh! :D

Well, I have been staying in Kolej Keris Mas for one semester now since I started my master degree. I was staying in Kolej Pendeta Zaba during my bachelor degree years and I thought it was good enough. But to compare to where I am staying now, Kolej Keris Mas rocks to the core! Lol. I was staying in a single room last semester (hooray for all the privacy that I get!) and was told to move to another block just last weekend. We were told to evacuate the building within three days prior to a REALLY short notice. 

I was comparing the old room previously with my new room now (both in Keris Mas) and I have to say I was not happy initially. Room got smaller. Furniture got smaller though they are all brand new. Pink room with orange furniture. How does that sound to you? Kinky much? Haha! But I think I am getting used to this (minus the new mattress that is super hard). 

#1 Half of my stuff in my room. Packed to be moved :)

 #2 My new closet that is much smaller than the one in the old room. Reminds me of my days in matriculation though since it was a similar closet.

#3 The new bed with the mattress yang super keras that I have to get used to. As much as people tell me that this kind of bed is good for my back, I want my pocket spring bed at home! :(

#4 Did I mention there are extra drawer under the bed for me to hide more stuff? *grins*

#5 The shelf that makes the room look way more tidy! Loving it!! :D

#6 The new working place which I am not very fond of due absence of drawers. 

#7 The view out my window. Yup, kedai makan di bawah saja. Can hear them frying stuff late at night. Kah-chang ka-chang! -.-"

Overall, this room is not too bad as how I view it when I first stepped in here after lotsa of cleaning and filling up the room with stuff. At least I could say, this room is comfier than my room in Kolej Pendeta Zaba. Oh, did I mention that I am way nearer to the super delicious burger stall now? Hooraayyy for having burger for dinner and supper every night! Ha!!

Oh yes! I have my classes on Monday and Friday only. So, for the rest of the days during the week, I might just be a bummer and stay in the room. Ahhhh...... :D

On the side note, some areas in Brisbane is having a horrible flood at the moment and it seems to be getting worse. I pray that family members over there are stay safe and sound there. Sigh. What is happening to the world? Double sigh.

That is all the update for today. Stay tune! Sorry if I bore you out! :) Take care.

On the side note, I locked myself out my room again for the many million times. Daymnn!! >.< I decided to climb into my room which is 6 floors up the ground initially. However, I freaked out halfway and decided go for other options. Bad day! :(

  

Happy New Year 2011

I hope I am not too late to wish you all Happy New Year 2011! ;)

I know I am slightly overdue for the wishes but it is the thought the counts right? I am back in uni for my final semester of my master degree study. I just came back from my first class of the year/semester. Class started way back last week when I was still enjoying my sweet chamber back home. I know I have abandoned this blog ever since I am back home but can you blame me? It's not that I don't love you guys to update regularly though :P Here are some one the snapshots of my whole stay back at home.

 #1 Baked traditional chocolate cake which turned out to be pretty good though we were all doubtful initially :D

 #2 Had a Pre Christmas celebration with them cousins ;)Much love!!

#3 Spent some time with them besties frenzies

#4 One of the festives I love the most! Nothing beats the feeling of having your whole family gathered round the Christmas tree. Yes, I got a BIG family! Even this is not a complete one! And I am proud of this! :D

 #5 The ten minutes away from home beach which I will never get sick of <3

#6 A romantic scene I spotted when I was at the beach chugging down those jeruk down my throat (and ended with gastric pain!). Aawwww... I want someone to do this for me too!! >.<" 

#7 It is no surprise that I gained weight when I am back home. Whoever can resist those YUMMY DELICIOUS food made with love? This lasagna made by bro upon my request taste as good as it looks! :D

#8 It was an awesome trip back home. I was on a flight with TV in the plane!!! Woot woot!! :D Sure kept me entertained throughout the flight! Glee!!! :D Woohooo!!!! I wouldn't dread flying so much if all my flights have this service without me paying a bomb for it! :D

I wish I had more time to do more things back home. Like meeting up with old friends from high school perhaps? Hopefully they will be around when I go back for Chinese New Year later. Ggggaaaa..... 

I was not very fond of year 2010, I admit.  It was a very rough year with  many ups and downs. A little too much drama for me to handle over a year period. Big mess I tell you. It is all good now. I learned my lesson. Mourning period passed and I shall continue to walk forward for a better future ahead. For better or worse, some things have changed whether they happened over time or abruptly. I am truly glad for all the bitter sweet experiences I had throughout this one year. These blessings in disguise taught me many life lesson that I would have never picked up from any books. But mind you, things were not all bad. Happy moments took their places too ok!

Therefore, bye bye 2010! Hello to you 2011!

As for this brand new year of 2011, please be kind to me. 

Happy New Year everyone. Wishing all of you a another good year ahead! Cheers!
