Yong's Echo on Life

H3YA!

2011-09-01T00:00:00.001+08:00

*gasps*

We're finally 3! :)

And I'm counting down the days where we'll add even more to that number.

Happy 3 years, sweetie. Being with you has been the best thing God has given me ever. :)

I love you! :3

The Thin Line

2011-03-20T20:42:00.004+08:00

I've only recently realised how powerful one's imagination can be.

Should we consider ourselves lucky that we were gifted (if not big, but at least a little as well for some of us) with such a tool to use? The imagination is after all, the fantasy place where we come up with the impossible, and if we were good/talented enough, make that impossible possible in reality.

I've always had quite the imagination. And if some of you know me well enough, I think you'd agree with me if I said my imagination was a little on the wild side too.

And just recently only have I realised the fine line I was treading on between my own imagination, and the real world. Just one misstep, would take me over the line right into fantasy. And although most of the time I have my other foot back in the real world as an anchor, what's going to happen if my anchored foot so happens to get un-achored from the real world?

Definitely a deep spiral down into insanity.

Sometimes, I wonder if I am actually already on that joyride down into insanity... Unaware perhaps? Or maybe, in denial.

I was...

2011-03-02T22:23:00.001+08:00

ONE number over of being 4k richer...

Darn you white MyVi! Why couldn't you have bought your car one step faster?!

Happy Valentines!

2011-02-14T23:59:00.003+08:00

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

--1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Simple but yet so beautifully written, no?

(by Paul in his letter to the Church in Corinth)

Happy Valentine's Day, peeps! :)

Adulthood

2011-02-01T18:40:00.001+08:00

Today I took another step into adulthood that I definitely would not enjoy:

Paying taxes. =.=

Can I not grow up?

2011

2011-01-01T01:02:00.001+08:00

Happy New Year, dear readers! :)

Cheers to a brand new year ahead!

Busy busy

2010-12-19T23:43:00.002+08:00

December has been such a hectic month..

Gosh, I really could use a break >.<

*sigh*

Still have loads to do...

So much for the "holiday" season...

Just can't seem to get any time for myself nowadays...

Zzz

Am FINALLY home

2010-12-01T23:36:00.002+08:00

Back from Segamat, and the most interesting job I've done in my field so far... and I'm pooped...

I just wish I don't ever have to go back there again, as interesting as it was..

Thank God we came home safe...

On another note, December is here~

Looks like 2010 is gonna end soon.. Time sure flies

It's gonna be...

2010-11-25T20:57:00.002+08:00

Har har har har...

I can't believe I've just booked a dooms-day date with the Queen of Pain...

Well, at least I've got someone to accompany me XD

Project Green Apple

2010-11-17T23:25:00.001+08:00

...is 75% complete.

Gosh, I'm so tired...

And after this... there's still all that rearranging and buying and cleaning to do...

T___T

Oh no, why did I even start on this project?

2010-11-16T23:15:00.001+08:00

It's been more than 3 months...

Daddy, I miss you...

Smile :)

2010-11-07T22:39:00.002+08:00

A smile is always the best thing to see on somebody's expression..

Be it a toothless one,

Or a lopsided one,

A tight lipped one, maybe,

Or even a rabbit-teethed one...

But certainly not a malicious one,

And definitely not the kind of smile that says 'smile' on the lips but otherwise through the eyes..

Regardless, a good smile makes a happy person..

And seeing a person, no matter how young or old, smile,

sincerely with pleasure and joy, can make you feel good.

Someone made my day with a smile today :)

Little 4 month-old Naomi smiled at me today as I touched her little hand and said 'Hi' to her.

It's been awhile since I've seen a smile like that :)

1 more year, at least

2010-10-10T00:12:00.004+08:00

Guess I'll be staying in CG for yet another year, albeit in a different role :)

I have to say, I kinda like the way God does things sometimes :)

Tua

2010-10-06T23:59:00.002+08:00

Am painful,

Am sore,

Am tired,

Am hurting.

So unfit.

*sigh*

I'm getting old.

happy

2010-09-30T23:33:00.001+08:00

Hehehehehehe...

Happiness always costs $$$

But meh, it was long overdue XD

(Well, like everything else of mine lol)

Go see!

2010-09-29T19:39:00.003+08:00

Great deals can be found anywhere if you really go searching for it.

And me being a sucker for great deals, it's no wonder I stumbled across this site.

It looks quite trustworthy, and I'm just a few days away from confirming this fact. Haha.

So do go go go check it out! XD

Work

2010-09-28T20:13:00.001+08:00

... is annoying.

When there's no work.. there's no work..

But when there's work.. they all come at one go...

=.=

Chillax period going to over soon I suppose... >.<

Playing hairstylist!

2010-09-27T22:29:00.003+08:00

Today, I got the chance to play hairstylist! :D

And whose lucky head did I get to style?

Why, my little brother's of course XD

I didn't do that bad a job I think... he's calling himself "handsome" in the bathroom right now... lol

Ooo... I enjoyed playing hairstylist so much I think my future kids are gonna suffer... hahaha

2010-09-22T22:11:00.002+08:00

A la FB posting:

2010-09-01T00:00:00.003+08:00

It's moments like these knowing that you're happy and living life to its fullest that makes me happy too.

Happy 2 years, sweetie :)

I love you!

Sudah tua

2010-08-28T01:43:00.002+08:00

Yalor, memang sudah tua.. Lol..

Feels different having to celebrate a birthday this year without dad being around... For as far as I could remember, every year, without fail, he would come into my room early in the morning, kiss me on the cheek and wish me a happy birthday.. But this year, dad's not around anymore to do that.. and gosh, Daddy, I really miss you so much..

Life still requires you to move on I guess.. And I do know that one day, if I make it up there, I'll see him there again, and I find comfort in that..

Anyway, on a lighter note, thank you everyone for the kind and warm birthday wishes :)

I will try to be a little wiser now that I'm a year older.. Lol..

(Note: Try, no guarantees XD)

And I finally have a new baby :D

And gosh is she beautiful XD

First post blogging from my new baby :D

*happy happy happy*

Growing up

2010-08-08T22:09:00.003+08:00

When I look at the people around me, close friends especially, I notice the changes, the differences, and I start to realise and acknowledge that they are growing up, maturing in their own way, well right on the track to the bright future I know each one of them would have...

But when I look at myself, I wonder if I'm going anywhere...

I feel like I'm still the same stupid 16/17 year old I once was..

I feel stuck where I am;

I wonder if I've matured any bit at all;

I wonder if I'm even going to have a bright future at all..

Denial on my part, that I'll be turning 22 soon, perhaps?

Ewil...

2010-08-02T23:19:00.005+08:00

Because Haagen-Dazs is just plain ewil...

As if the 20% birthday discount voucher I received from them in the mail isn't enough... Now they've decided to tempt me with another delicious offer in my e-mail...

Ice-cream Mooncakes...

Gah!! Darn you Haagen-Dazs!!!! *runs off to the nearest Haagen-Dasz store in search of mooncakes*

Of playdough and bubbles

2010-07-31T22:53:00.003+08:00

Today, I sorta had a short moment to relive my childhood days again...

My taekwondo pals and I decided to have dinner in Empire this evening after the Taekwondo Competition that we were organising, and after a very awesome dinner (Serai's dishes are gooooooood~), we decided to take a walk round Empire to ease our extremely full stomachs.

We explored Tangs (where no Charmaine, I am not getting married anytime soon so you can forget about getting that dress as your bridesmaid dress lol)... Sony (so expensive the Vaio T.T)... and lastly we ended up in Toys'R'us for the fun of it...

We slowly explored the whole shop, going from the soft toys section, to the Barbie section, and then the doll houses (Oh gosh, the doll houses that I would love to have displayed in my home so much but I don't have the cash nor the space to do it..).. to the baby toys section and on the miniature cars section and following on to the boardgame section and finally back round again to the entrance...

We touched and pressed buttons on every toy/machine that we stopped to take a look at.. (yes, I admit we were being very childish XD)

There was Ernie (my favourite Sesame Street character) and the shoo super cwute soft toy puppies... The awesome doll houses, the noisy cushion mallets.. Improved masak-masak sets (You can cut food in half now with a plastic knife, how awesome is that?) Lego... Playdough (gosh, I so loved playdough back then.. I remember how expensive it was..) and bubble liquid for blowing bubbles.. Oh.. blowing bubbles, something I used to do almost every evening when I was a kid.....

*Sigh*... Those were the days when I would just play around and enjoy my days and evenings and not have to worry about anything else...

I feel so old.. Hahahah...

Seeing so many young couples with their kids shopping there, I couldn't help but briefly wonder: When is it going to be my turn?

Lol.. A long time away that's for sure, and if God willing... :)

After I came home, my dad was telling me about his old classmate who was asking after me today...

I haven't seen him in more than 15 years, and it's a wonder that he still remembers me... And well, parents being parents, whenever they bring up stuff like that.. I'd always get another interesting glance into my childhood which I don't recall much at all...

Apparently, I was a very mature little girl back then... The questions I would ask adults were so sensible I would stun them into not being able to reply, and someone even commented that the questions I asked were such adult questions...

I wonder what happened to that little girl... Because, I don't seem to be a very sensible grown-up now =.=

Long gone are the days of childhood I guess...

Not enough pig pig

2010-07-24T22:21:00.001+08:00

Kopi-O with four teaspoons of sugar is...

Freaking potent.

I need sleeeeeeep T__________T

Flower :)

2010-07-24T09:54:00.006+08:00

It had been a tiring week. I was working late on most nights and even doing the weekends. As I got home late Thursday evening and hopped down from dad's car, an awesome sight greeted my eyes.

The hibiscus plant in front of my porch was in full bloom. Four huge flowers at one go. I've seen one or two before.. But four at one go? It was just... "Wow!"

It's as big as my face XD

I guess even in the busiest, hardest and most tiring of times, God still sends me reminders that He's there... :)

Hai-yah!

2010-07-11T22:19:00.004+08:00

I am now,

officially,

an internationally recognised master.

Waahahhahaha.

Er-hem.

Now all I need are my certs.

So I guess I'm not all that official yet.. Lol

Anybody wanna sponsor me? XD

In return... I'll... give your future kids free lessons for a year?

Sleep T_T

2010-07-10T13:18:00.004+08:00

I couldn't sleep last night even though I was dead tired.

I don't know if it was the overload of information and thoughts running through my mind that kept me from slumber, or the teh tarik terapung that I had just a few hours before.

I remember being so cranky, tossing and turning on the bed, but yet my mind just refused to shut down.

Lol. I better go catch up on some sleep now, lest I get even crankier... Hahah

Today's crazy decision cost me RM40. I wonder if it was worth it XD

I guess I'll find out soon :D

FRIDAY!!!

2010-07-08T22:53:00.001+08:00

Thank God you're finally here...

Busy Saturday

2010-07-04T01:48:00.002+08:00

The cuts hurt.

The knuckles and the left side of my palm don't yet... But it'll be hell tomorrow...

I don't even wanna know how I will feel on Monday.

And I'm supposed to go jogging... Lol...

Screw the cuts, I know I could've done better.

On the brighter side:

My tummy's content and sporting a bulge I will need to lose ASAP;

My social bar is filled full (think Sims);

My urge to dress up is half full (think Sims again, only this time, well, I made it up); and

My purse is crying.

Haha.

All in all, day and night well spent :)

GLEE!

2010-06-30T22:23:00.003+08:00

Matthew Morrison and Neil Patrick Harris make an awesome team on Glee... XD

Too bad it was only a guest star appearance..

I WANT MORE NEIL PATRICK HARRIS!!!

*fangirlscream*

I want...

2010-06-27T23:45:00.005+08:00

I want a new watch.

I want a room to myself.

I want a new laptop.

I want more Ipoh taufu fah~

I wanna taste that awesome Malacca roti john again~~

I want nothing but the best green tea latte from Starbucks~~~

I wanna watch Toy Story 3!

I wanna not go to work tomorrow!

I wanna stay home and just laze my day away...

I just wanna spend more time with my friends...

I just want my Grandma to recover her full health again...

I just want to see the people I love being happy...

I want you back here, right next to me again,

I want you around, so I don't have to go to bed missing you so,

I want you home, so I won't have to be so alone anymore...

More than anything,

I need to see your smile;

I need to hear your voice;

I need you...

I want, I want, I want...

Just so selfish, aren't I?

Lonely~

2010-06-26T21:10:00.003+08:00

I'm home alone tonight...

I've always relished being able to spend time alone with myself when I was home alone in the past...

It doesn't seem so anymore. If more than anything, I feel even lonelier now...

Sings: Lonely~ I'm so lonely~ I have nobody~ All on my own~

Instinct?

2010-06-26T14:26:00.001+08:00

Oh no...

It's that uneasy feeling again...

*shivers*

Daddy's day!

2010-06-20T21:44:00.002+08:00

To all fathers, grandfathers and soon-to-be fathers out there:

"Happy Father's Day!"

And to my first-most favourite man on earth:

"I love you, Daddy! :D"

Daddy's new tie!

T-rex! Rawr! Hahaha...

Crazy things you do in life?

2010-06-19T21:39:00.003+08:00

I think of the weirdest thoughts in the most funniest of situations...

Take last night, I was in the bathroom, brushing my teeth, looking myself in the mirror and telling myself over and over again, "I want whiter teeth, I want whiter teeth..." When suddenly, I recalled one incident, during a walk back from our dinner on my last vacation in Melbourne, where a friend (yes, my dear Sue-Anne) was telling me about one of the ice-breaker sessions she had. Introducing themselves, they each had to relate the most daring thing that they've done in their lives. And for her, she said that hers was bungee jumping, done the last time she was in New Zealand.

That got me thinking: "What WAS the most daring thing that I've ever done in my life?" And well, try as I might, I just couldn't think of anything! And gosh, wouldn't it have been so embarassing if I was at an ice-breaker session, and having the same question posed to me, all I would be able to answer was a measely...

"Uhh, most daring thing? Uhh... climbing over the school walls in a baju kurung just to play hookey? Or uhh... sneaking into an 18-rated movie when I was only 15?"

My goodness, that would have sounded so lame. Lol.

I mean come on, I see people around me achieving and attempting the most daring or challenging feats ever to exist in life. I have friends who have done bungee jumping; I have friends who have scaled Mount Kinabalu and are attempting it again next year; I know people who have done street racing in a proton saga; I know of someone who managed to drive home safe even though she was feeling horribly drunk and awful from it; I even know of someone who has cycled almost 30km to and fro from work just to train for an upcoming triathlon...

And here I am, at 22, supposedly being at the peak of my youth (although I don't feel at my peak at all, taekwondo seems to be proving otherwise and I heartily agree with my tightening muscles...) and having achieved nothing much of a daring feat save climbing over a wall in a baju kurung. Lol. And hey, it's not like I haven't been given any chances, didn't I just come back from New Zealand, and yet, fail to try out bungee jumping?

My goal in life has always been to live it to the fullest. But *sigh*, sometimes I wonder if I will really be going anywhere. I don't deny that I've been given opportunities and chances to try the things I've wanted to try, but when I look back at it, I wonder if I really did make the best out of it.

I am 22 (actually I haven't even turned 22 yet), have a lifetime ahead of me, but yet, here I am, stuck at making a further decision with what I want to do in life. Growing up in a very much typical Asian family, I am left wondering and worrying if the decisions I make now would be a let down of the expectations people have of me. And with this, it pretty much puts me down when I think about what I really want to do in life, what I really want to do when I still can do it.

What happened to "living life to the fullest"?

I don't know...

What if God decides to take me much sooner than I expect? I don't want to leave life here on earth having achieved nothing better but climbing over walls in a baju kurung!

I want to do something crazy. I want to achieve something in my life that spells out: "This girl is one heck of a girl" when people hear about it. But I wonder if I ever will.

Ah nuts, the things I think about when I'm in the bathroom...

Lol...

Clean up? :p

2010-06-19T21:04:00.004+08:00

"Quick! Sweep that dirt under the carpet!!! Hurry hurry hurry!!!"

My mum has been asking for my blog link recently.

First, through my brother, and the other day, directly through me.

I have yet to give it to her. Hahah...

Might need to sweep some dirt under the carpet first before I can :p

Hehehhe...

Just kidding~

Mum, if you see this.. Just letting you know I have nothing to hide XD

(Hoho.. that is, if you believe your sweet, innocent, little girl :D)

Run Yong-yong! Run!

2010-06-13T10:51:00.004+08:00

I'm pooped.... =.=

Call me crazy or plain stupid, but I signed up for the SJ10km run with my friends. (And FYI, we don't run for a living, nor do we run very often, save the occasional 3 round jog around the track in Taman Ria Subang, and which, for me, usually consists of 2 rounds of running and the rest just walking...)

So there ya go~

And now, I'm back home... tired and dehydrated, but yet, strangely, feeling satisfied, and somewhat much more content with life than I have been (er-hem *coughpreviousposttooemocough*) in a long-long time.

I guess this time, it took a 10km run for God to knock some sense back into my head again...

Ah, the wonders You work.. lol...

Running the race and seeing the type of people running it too somehow made me realise that even though we humans can be so weak at times, to temptations, sin and what not, God also gave us the ability to fight, for survival, for the things you believe in, and more importantly, for the people you love as well...

Let me just recollect some of the amazing things I saw today:

1. A lady in a wheelchair.

We were going uphill at one point, and even though she did comment that it was tiring, she still continued wheeling her chair up without stopping or going any slower than the pace she was wheeling at. "Naik bukit, memang susah sikit..." That was what she said.. but yet, she never stopped, not asked her companion who was running beside her for help.

Oh, this is even more amazing...

2. A PREGNANT lady running

I was 100% shocked to see her in the race. And my goodness, she was even doing the whole race (10km). I wasn't the only one amazed to see her running.. Making light conversation on the run, one of the guys asked her, "Eh, you boleh lari ker?"

And she replied, "Boleh, take it slow no problem punye..."

He asked again, pointing at her bump, "Sudah berapa bulan?"

She said, "Mungkin hari ini due woo... Sudah 38 minggu... if today due good la... haha"

The guy's eyes were literally bulging when he heard that answer...

At that point, I ran past her, turned back and smiled at her, at which, she smiled back...

I'm not entirely sure if it's advisable for a pregnant woman, 38 weeks into her pregnancy, to run a 10km run... and I'm quite baffled her husband actually let her... but oh well, some people.. it's just amazing la..

(Heh, I doubt my future husband would even let me walk 1km being 38 weeks pregnant.. hahahah)

So well, there. I don't know if I made it sound inspiring enough or anything, but well, running this race, did do something for me. And for that, I'm glad.

And to top it off, I finished the race in approximately, 1hr 30 mins! *applause please* (Syok Sendiri lol)

Hahah.. no big deal la.. but it's somewhat an achievement for me, since well, I ran 10km!! (Ok, didn't run all the way.. but still :D) and, I'm not a long distance runner.. I have always been a sprinter. But that doesn't mean I'm gonna let it stop there.

Next year, 10km again? Perhaps :)

Me being me, who forgot to bring along my watch, ended up carrying my phone for the run instead (just to keep time). And well, good thing it comes with a camera, as horrible as the quality of the shots are.. haha

3 km at this point, in half an hour. Found it difficult to push on after I stopped running.

On the U-turn back to MPSJ. So near, yet so far...

9km checkpoint. Almost there!

And finally, the finish line! Whee~~~

Oh, and I have to say... I didn't have any luck getting drinks throughout the race (just goes to prove how slow I was).. and the worst thing? Getting back to MPSJ, getting to the 100 plus counter, and when it was my turn next... "Oh, sorry, 100 plus sudah habis."

Like.. wtf... lol... Ah well~

2010-06-12T17:27:00.002+08:00

I hate myself.

I hate myself for that mask I've had on since God knows when, that mask I put on every morning when I wake up.

I hate myself for that fake smile on my face that I show to everyone wherever I go.

I hate myself for telling people that "I'm OK", even when I'm not.

I hate myself for lying, and I hate myself even more when I do it just so I don't worry anyone else.

I hate the emo, obsessive bitch that I've turned into.

I hate that emptiness I feel inside me, the one where no amount of tears seem to be able to fill it up.

I hate myself for being selfish.

I hate myself for apologising for being selfish.

I just.. hate myself.

And there's nothing more I want to do than to just go curl up into a ball and cry my mind away.

If sleep takes me, and I never wake, I think I'd be happier there than where I am now.

Gone, again

2010-05-29T13:06:00.002+08:00

I lost my "virginity" for the second time this year...

No, no, no, don't worry.. I'm not talking about THE virginity...

No. 1 was lost when I went up to Genting in January.. The slots stole RM20 from me... Lol...

No. 2 was/or is/or whatever tense it's supposed to be

Today!

Where...

I donated blood for the first time in my life! :D

At PPUM (Formerly known as University Hospital)

And... I'm feeling happy because:

1. I got a nicer donor book than my friends have from before :p (hardcover book leh! Hahah)

2. Free food ftw! (Should've asked for apple juice.. I didn't know they had a juicer)

3. I did a good deed, and hopefully just saved someone's life in the future! (Eh, why this one come last one? XDD)

But I think I shall just go lie down now.. Lol

Will be going for Taekwondo later :p

Crazy, yeah?

fists pull hair

2010-05-27T20:55:00.002+08:00

Y'know.. it sucks having to tie your purse strings when the Sales are just around the corner...

Repeats to self: "I don't need new things, I don't need new things, I don't need nice new dresses and shoes and handbags and... Gah! Who am I trying to kid?"

*Sigh*

I love...

2010-05-26T17:36:00.001+08:00

Being able to come back from work at 5pm.

(I hope my boss doesn't see this lol)

Ai-yai-yai

2010-05-22T22:03:00.002+08:00

Note to self:

Do not go digging into the past without bringing along proper "gear".

Outcome = Further insecurities + Disaster with a capital "D"

A long long time ago...

2010-05-22T13:42:00.002+08:00

It's amusing re-reading old posts and comments on blogs and knowing the outcomes of questions asked back then...

I can't help smiling now...

The question of: "Who would have thought, eh?" is very much... true :)

No sleeping tonight? Nah....

2010-05-19T23:46:00.005+08:00

I'm stupid because I just like scaring myself. Lol.

Went with my colleagues for a movie today. I guess you can pretty much guess what I watched by my first statement above.

Freddy, Freddy, he who haunts your dreams and makes your nightmares come true...

I went in to the cinema hoping to get psychologically freaked by Michael Bay's remake of the 1984 box-office hit, but instead I came out vaguely scared and feeling a little let down by it. Although Jackie Earle Haley was playing Freddy, somehow I felt that he didn't pull off the character the way it could and should've been pulled off.. The scenes were predictable, the suspense mild and lacking in some areas, and well, I guess my expectations for it was just too high...

I'd call it a typical Hollywood horror remake...

Maybe I should get my hands on the original version... Maybe then I'd get some scaring I was looking for... Lol...

Note: Michael Bay produced the film, it was directed by Samuel Bayer.

Two books I've recently finished:

The Other Boleyn Girl

by Philippa Gregory

This being a story revolving around the English court, you'd think: Surely interesting.

I'm telling you, calling it interesting would be undermining it...

It tells about the little known sister of Anne Boleyn, Mary, with the story itself revolving around the annulment of the royal marriage between King Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon... Although, as a side note, it is after all fiction and has been criticised to be hugely historically inaccurate.

Scandals, affairs, gossip, plotting, ambition... this book has it all..

I couldn't put the book down the whole time I was reading it.. and all I wanted to do right up till the end was to turn to the next page and the next page and the next page...

Feeling like life could use a little bit of spicing up? Try this book... ;)

I think it may just leave you wanting more..

I surely do... however,financial constraints have been what's holding me back from getting the other 5 sequels written by Gregory herself...

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith

Die hard classic literature fans would definitely kill me if I said I love this book.

But the fact is, I do.

Seth Grahame-Smith did a fantastic job of taking one of Jane Austen's most popular works, and turning it into something much more... Readable for the normal human.

Don't get me wrong, I did fine going through Pride and Prejudice (Sense and Sensibility stretched me to my limit though), but reading through this book was just absolutely fun.

Imagine, Elizabeth the zombie slayer with her Shaolin training and love for Japanese katars?

Just awesome.

Coupled with Grahame-Smith's ability to turn the most dull of passages in the book into something amusing... Simply awesome.

If you've read through Pride and Prejudice and could barely stand it, AND if you have a love for zombies that you need to re-discover... My advice: Go get your hands on this book, and I guarantee you it will be a fun ride! ;)

Pondering...

2010-05-14T23:39:00.001+08:00

Where God is leading me in life and what He wants me to do from here...

Sorry

2010-05-09T21:56:00.002+08:00

Ah, "Sorry"... such an overused word.

You say "Sorry" when you've made a mistake.

You say "Sorry" when you've done something wrong.

You say "Sorry" when you've pissed someone off.

You say "Sorry" when you've hurt someone's feelings...

But should you be saying "Sorry" when in fact, you've done nothing wrong at all?

I guess the answer to that should be no, regardless of whether the other party expects an apology from whoever or not.

And that's what is wrong with me. I have this tendency to apologise and feel bad for things that I shouldn't be apologising for, because in fact, I did no wrong at all.

Is it pity I'm feeling for the other party that makes me apologise? Or am I only wanting to please the other party and not hurt his or her feelings that makes me do it? Or maybe it's just purely an act of extracting pity for myself for being in that situation and wanting to turn the tide around to put attention on myself instead?

Either way, I feel like crap every time this happens. I don't enjoy it, it puts me down. But yet I still do it. And although there's that part of me inside resisting and trying to stand up and fight and say, "You freaking did nothing wrong, what in the world are you apologising for?".. I somehow manage to shut that part up and end up apologising thereafter.

I'm just so miserably pathetic, aren't I?

Splurge...

Home :)

2010-04-24T22:23:00.002+08:00

Yeap, for those of you who are wondering, I'm finally home.

And for those of you who had no idea I was even away from the country for 2 whole weeks before this... Well, I'm back again and I guess it doesn't really make much of a difference, does it? Hahah

I had a very memorable and eventful holiday this time round. So many things happened which I did not even expect I'd ever have to experience in my life. But I thank God that in the end, nothing bad actually happened and I made it home safely. :)

Shall blog about it when I do have the time... Maybe in about a week or so (I hope).

Well peeps, until my next post... and hopefully I will be much more diligent at blogging now that I've had a holiday and should be all refreshed and worked up? Haha... Unlikely is more like it, actually :p

It's not dead! (Yet anyway)

2010-03-29T22:07:00.002+08:00

Hey all!

Sorry for my recent super lack of any updates, but hey, I've got reasons for it...

1. My modem back home went dead for 3 weeks. Hence, no internet connection at home.
2. Got my modem back but now I think my network card is dead too, hence, still unable to connect to the internet from home.
3. I'm pretty much close to giving up on my computer to figure out what the real problem is, hence, no efforts put in to get my internet connection back home going again.

So yeah.. I don't think I'd be getting my internet connection up and running anytime soon anyway..

March has been a stressful month for me.. But, thank God, it's coming to an end.. (That means pay-day too Lol)
Really looking forward to my upcoming holiday, and really praying that the travel stress won't kill me..
I just can't wait for this week to end...

Well, until next time, readers, frankly, I don't know when either..

Toodles~

It all pays off in the end...

2010-02-22T18:51:00.001+08:00

If you're wondering what this is about, well, let me tell you it's not the lottery... Lol...

I'll finally be graduating, and I think that's saying enough :)

Back!

2010-02-17T21:50:00.002+08:00

Yeap! Am finally back from the city of food (a.k.a Ipoh) after CNY celebrations!

Will do a little update about my trip later... I need to catch up on much needed sleep now (despite having pigged so much back in Ipoh), need to look pretty for tomorrow XD

Ei, renew IC okay? Gonna have that picture for who knows how long, and I don't want it to be a s*cky one... Lol...

On a side note... Have been having a lot of zombie dreams lately... >.<

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies... Somehow, it seems to have some kind of profound effect on me... Lol...

What's YOUR lingerie personality? XD

2010-02-09T23:39:00.004+08:00

Kinda personal... but I thought this was interesting...

Hey, would be useful if you were suddenly feeling cheeky and thought to get me something from the above category, right? If that was the case, well, now you'd know which direction to head towards XD

Girls, which category do you fit in? :D

Take the quiz here!

Chinese New Year is coming up, and so is Valentine's, time for some nice new lingerie! :p

Time really flies...

It's February already and my blog still has a Christmas layout...

Yes, I've been lazy...

And just to show you how lazy I am...

The Christmas tree that somebody helped me put up last year...

It's... still up...

Hahahah... Yeah, no one has done anything to take it down and keep it away yet...

It's February... CNY is coming... and it's still up...

Ah well, I'll take it down... soon... Hahah...

Will give this blog a facelift soon too~

Took away the snowing effects though... Didn't know it was lagging the blog that bad...

At least I'm one step closer to giving it a facelift now :D

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee~ *squishy squish squish*

Daddy!

2010-02-02T21:40:00.004+08:00

Today's a special day for the man I've loved and looked up to for almost 22 years.

Yep, it's Daddy's special day!

The King of the "Tan-House" turns 58 today. Not very sure if Dad's feeling it, but I was feeling it on HIS behalf... Hahah...

And as I was in the shower today, (I always get weird inspirations/insights in the shower... Sarah's right... but unlike somebody I don't get my inspirations whilst on the toilet seat, thank you very much... have to concentrate... XDD) I've only just realised that as I myself grow older... I'm not the only one... Everyone around me is too... *Sigh*...

Time doesn't stop for anyone I guess... :)

Had a simple home-cooked dinner (thanks Grandma and Mum), followed up by the cake-cutting session. Since Dad's such a choc fan, what other cake would we get him but chocolate? ;)

(Taipan's King's 40% discount is really worth the visit you know... and their cakes are not half bad... Heheh...)

I think my brother enjoyed the cake more than my Dad did... Lol

"OooooOooooOoooo... I like cake!"

Dad with his darling

(The people who made me... XD)

Dad with his little (now bigger and taller than him) darlings

Now we shouldn't be leaving Grandma out, right?

Happy Birthday, Dad!

Your little girl loves you! :)

Ouch

I just found out paper cuts and nail polish remover don't go well together...

I also just found out how much PMS + Super work stress because of stupid deadline is not a nice situation to be in...

Oh, and I also found out that a week long of nightmares seem only to lead on to another week of nightmares, and the cycle continues, in which, the mind doesn't really seem to care anymore..

I also found out why they call chocolate comfort food...

And I finally realise why nobody reads my blog.. because it's just full of rants!

And the ranting shall probably continue...

You can strike me off your blog list now... it's gonna be nothing but me, me, me and complain, complain, complain and rant, rant, rant for quite awhile people!

Cha-ching! Out!

Whee! Round-ball-balls... Aren't they pretty?

Didn't stay back for to do OT today just to help mum finish "Chai"-ing the flour. My pathetic attempt at creating different shapes with the glutinous rice flour ended up with dismal results...

As you can see from the picture, I attempted a:

(sorry about the wordings... >.<)

1. Triangle

2. Heart which is very cacat.

3. Star, which looks like Patrick to me, sans the eyes, mouth, pants and colour XD

4. Square, or rather a cube.

5. The one with the green lettering says: Supposed to look like DUNG =.= FAIL!!!

Round-ball-balls ready to go into the pot...

Round-ball-balls boiling... poor Round-ball-balls...

Round-ball-balls ready to be eaten at last! Can you spot Patrick? XD

Yong-yong with Round-ball-balls is a happy Yong :D

Aaaaaaum! Yum-yum ;) [Heh.. I know... what a camwhore XD]

Thanks, mum for the Round-ball-balls!

Happy Winter Solstice, everyone!

Sandy-kitty!

2009-12-21T23:15:00.005+08:00

Today, I saw Sandy-kitty again...

If you're a frequent reader of my blog, you'd probably remember Sandy-kitty from my last post.

Aww... what a cute Sandy-kitty picture, eh?

However, unfortunately, I didn't have the privilege to of having Sandy-kitty smile at me like that.

Instead, it was more of a....

Looks more like a "Get-out-of-my-face-you-useless-human" look to me.

And that was exactly what I got from Sandy-kitty.

Well, I guess you can't blame Sandy-kitty, after witnessing the last incident in my garden, I think I'd probably have the same face if I was in its paws.

Mum doesn't like cats. Neither does my Grandma, nor my dad I think.

It's not like they're evil, evil people who don't love animals or anything, but I just guess they just don't really have any soft spots for cats. Dad had a FEW dogs, so did my Grandma... eh wait I think she had a cat too back at Hotsprings... But meh, I'm straying.

Anyway, my point is: Mum doesn't like cats.

Guess I can't expect her to when the cats who turn up at our doorstep are usually there to:

1. Steal fish from the dining table.

2. Rummage through our rubbish for food.

3. Have kittens.

4. Poop all over the garden.

Back to my story...

Quite a funny thing happened today.

Was on the way back from work, mum and I in the car. And just as we were about to turn in upon reaching the house, we saw two cats right at our garden. One was a sandy coloured kitty, looking like it was up to something and about to go under the fence to get into my garden; another was a whitish-grey kitty, half sitting, half squatting in my garden.

Well, mum being mum and not liking cats, was obviously furious at seeing whitish kitty in our garden. So, mum being mum, honked the car horn loudly, just so she could scare whitish kitty away. However, whitish kitty did not move and just stared back at her. Sandy kitty however, backed up a step and decided to reconsider its intentions of getting under the fence into the garden.

Upon seeing whitish kitty not moving, mum got even angrier. As I opened the gate for her to drive the car in, she decided that whitish kitty was looking for trouble and decided to get out of the car just to shoo it away. Whitish kitty, upon seeing mum approach, still did not move. Sandy kitty however, was smart enough to take a few more steps back.

By now you must thinking, "Wow, that whitish kitty is one-heck of a brave cat!"

Well, hate to burst your bubble, but I don't think that's true.

Why?

Well, because...

Whitish kitty was in the middle of "No. 2". XD

I mean come on, who would, or maybe the better term would be, "Who could?", move/run away when you're in the middle of "No.2".

Unless there was a nuclear missile coming right at you, I don't think you'd actually urm... move, if you had "No.2" hanging halfway out your @$$. :D

So there you go, whitish kitty did not deem mum a threat big enough to move away whilst in the middle of "No.2". But, as soon as "No.2" was done, it ran out the garden quicker than you could say...

"Poop"

Poor whitish kitty though, imagine the thoughts going through its poor kitty mind upon seeing the threat of mum coming at it.

"Oh no! She's gonna get me!!! Should I run? Yes I should... but how!? I'm... not... done... T___T"

Or something to that effect... Lol...

And all the while, sandy kitty seemed like it was enjoying the entertainment from a safe distance outside the garden.

Wonder if whitish kitty would be daring enough to step paw into our garden again. If it doesn't, I think it will probably be because its too embarrassed by this episode to, rather than because of the threat of "mum".

Cute poop~

*Reminds me of Charlotte's calculator...*

**Edit: Oh almost forgot, please forgive my horrible art skills.

PMS

2009-11-22T22:25:00.002+08:00

Sometimes I just feel so disconnected from the world...

Zzzzz...

Muscles aching all over... As much as I had fun being evaluated and evaluating on Saturday, I am now feeling the effects of all the exertion.

老了哦！>.<

Of wrappers and ribbons

2009-11-17T22:34:00.004+08:00

It's funny how memories can get triggered so easily just at a sight of a simple item...

For me, it was a piece of wrapping paper which I would've thrown away given any other occasion...

And I'm still wondering as to the reason why I did not dispose of it way back then.

I guess back then, there were just too many things - feelings, emotions and thoughts - contained in it that prevented me from doing so.

Now, it's going to be given away so I'll never see it again.

In a way, I'm glad I never will.

There are things just not worth holding on to sometimes...

Ah, but the ribbon that came with it I will keep.

It's too pwetty XD

Yes!

2009-11-17T22:09:00.002+08:00

Today...

Brought me one step closer to being an adult. :D

I'd say there are two more things that would complete it for me...

No. 1 is pretty much doable. Just have to find the time and the company.

As for no. 2... Well... Hahah...

Guess I won't be going near adulthood anytime soon though my age may denote otherwise.

Ah well... Am certainly in no hurry at all that's for sure ;)

My Saturday

2009-11-15T22:55:00.003+08:00

Weddings tend to give me this "feel-good, warm, fuzzy" feeling at the end of it.

Just attended one yesterday morning.

It was a simple but yet really sweet ceremony.

To see two people so attached to each other and joined together in love like that, is really, something that warms the heart. And I guess, in part, it also reminds me why life is worth living despite all the horrible things you may face in it sometimes.

Loves conquers all, doesn't it?

Lol... Corny though it may sound.

And no surprise here, but it took a wedding to remind me what it takes to really love a person.

I hope I don't ever forget that again.

I need to attend more weddings. Eh, who's gonna be next? XD

My congratulations to Daryl and Lisa :)

May you have a happy journey in life together and God's blessings always!

Oh how I wish I could go just 4 months back, 4 months back to the time where I was just enjoying myself and didn't have to worry about exams, about studying, about finishing my thesis in time, about work, about deadlines, about not getting enough sleep, about being apart from someone I love so much...

Wishful, wishful thinking... Lol...

Life's been pretty much like that for me in case you've been wondering.

And I think I've been riding on a wave of emotions lately. Wonder when I'm gonna land on safe ground... Heh...

One wrong decision this morning cost me real bad...

What? Expecting some awesome, dramatic story on it?

Nah... it's nothing too bad.

My feet just hurt real bad that's all.

Moral of this:

Always make sure your shoes won't kill you. XD

On a lighter note~

Went out for my first audit today. Can't say it was super fun, actually its pretty much the same things I do in the office. But then again, hearing myself being addressed and called as an "auditor" by the clients today, made me feel... somewhat... contented.

Haha!

Well, this update has been long overdue. But meh, nobody bothers anymore... So it doesn't really matter, right? :D

The radio beside me in the office is on for the whole 8 hours I'm there...

And gosh, Mandarin/Cantonese advertisements are just so weird sometimes =.=

Songs get replayed at least 3 times throughout the day... I think I might go mad, if not for this song:

An Lian - Tao zhe

陶喆 - 暗恋

Still lonely still lonely

昨晚又再见到你你还是那么美丽
我紧张到话都不会说
就傻傻看着你

渴望永远这距离
就是和你在一起
醒来发现这一切都
只是我的梦境

告诉自己要冷静
却又无法不想你
我的懦弱已经开始让我讨厌我自己
是你对我有戒心
还是我没有自信
可是谁也不能阻止我
我要暗恋你

So lonely

Chorus:
So here I am standing all alone
在某个街头
有个我在这里只为你等候
Here I am waiting just for you
开放我所有
希望你能了解你能够接受

So lonely

今晚渴望再见你
虽然只是在梦里
短暂的甜蜜也胜过了一辈子没有你
就算没快乐结局就算从此死了心
我要付出我所有诚意只要能感动你

我愿意

So here I am standing all alone
在某个街头
有个我在这里只为你等候
Here I am waiting just for you
开放我所有
我要为你怎么做你才接受我

我喜欢你我要你我爱你

So here I am standing all alone
在某个街头
有个我在这里只为你等候
Here I am waiting just for you
开放我所有
希望你能了解你能够接受

故事就说到这里就算你们再好奇
我想说的都已说完了其余是秘密
在那某一个街头会流传某个旋律
那是我在轻轻唱著歌
我多爱你

A 'Romantic' Bike Ride

2009-10-08T21:36:00.004+08:00

Ahhh... A romantic bike ride...

I'm sure almost every girl would've thought of doing something like this at least once in her lifetime.

And we have all the TV dramas and movies to thank for putting this picture into the female mind as well. Lol

If you were wondering.......

I got my "romantic" bike-ride today. :D

It was awesome to feel the wind in my face, enjoy the feeling of not having to put any effort into going to where I wanted to, and enjoy having someone who was so kind to give me a lift.

But just so you know...

No, it wasn't my significant other giving me the ride.

In fact, it was my darling little brother who did it.

It wasn't romantic at all actually, I had to cling on to his backpack (good thing it wasn't sweaty) and worry about the potholes he might have possibly run over because we were cycling in the dark. And mind you, bumpy roads and back seats without cushions don't really go well together.

But all in all, I'm just glad he was kind enough to come get me. Saved me the trouble of a 15 minute walk home in the dark, alone.

So dear little brother of mine, if you do see this post, well, thank you. :)

Your dearest big sister loves you, no matter how much she may bully you sometimes. XD

New-found 'Obsession'

2009-09-28T23:36:00.003+08:00

Obsessions. Everybody has them some time or other.

Some major ones, some minor ones.

But then again, I wouldn't really call this an obsession actually.

I'm sure throughout your life, you've at least collected (or tried to collect) one thing or another.

I for one, definitely have. Although, I must say, I'm not really much of a good collector.

Let's see, I've TRIED collecting lots of things over the years.

I've done stamps.. (I have a few stamp books, don't know where they've gone now though)

I've done stickers.. (I still have my sticker books... and gosh was I really crazy about it once)

I've done books.. and I still do... (I'm a bookworm, I yearn to own a library one day)

I've done toys and soft toys.. (Remember the world Snoopy collection and Hello Kitty, courtesy of McDonald's a long, long time ago? Sadly I didn't manage to complete my collection)

I've done Mentos boxes (Don't ask why, don't ask how, don't ask =.=)

I still kinda have an intention to collect sand from beaches I've visited and also fridge magnets... but so far, I only have a bottle of sand and fridge magnet from Redang.

So well, I was never successful in collecting stuff anyway.

But this time, this time it's going to be different.

"Why?" You may ask.

Well, it's because I fell in love.

Ah yes, I fell in love......

With the new Coke Contour Glasses from McDonald's! XD

And this time... I'm determined to get all 7 of them!!!

My home needs some nice new glasses anyway... :p

Although like my dad pointed out, I don't know where to place and display them nicely. My kitchen is so full of stuff already. =.=

But meh, I don't care, shall only think about that problem later XD

2 down and 5 to go for me~

Oh, and just as a side note:

I'm pink!

Hahaha!

If you're bored enough to read my blog, then here's to wasting more time taking another irrelevant personality quiz.

I'm so gonna get fat with all the large McValue Meals =.=

Time is running out...

>.<

HOYA!

2009-09-01T00:00:00.001+08:00

Thank you for one full year of be-awesome memories! ;)

Nothing more I can do to express how much each and every single day and moment spent with you meant to me. :)

Gosh... this is soooo mushy XD

I love you!

Special day is over... so special no more.

Lol.

Thanks all for the warm wishes through calls, SMSes, and the ever easy FB.

I'm old. And I'm legal.

Should start off being legal by walking into the 4D shop and buying a number.

Think I'll be lucky enough to strike the jackpot anytime soon? XD

Up!

2009-08-17T00:06:00.005+08:00

Been a long, long time since I've written a non-emo post... XD

Watched "Up" today in Mid-Valley. (And skipped Sunday School duty :p)

Thanks so much to Crissy who asked me along after winning free tickets to the screening. Besides watching it for free, it was an extra bonus for us getting to watch it in 3D. I simply have no idea how their 2D film reel could have problems, but hey, I'm not complaining. XD

Up - Another awesome story produced by Pixar. It's funny how Pixar seems to be the only animation studio capable of coming up with heart-warming and meaningful stories, besides all the extra laughs, comedy, and fascinating ideas and imagination put into it as well. We've had Wall-E last year, and goodness, I so cannot wait for Toy Story 3 to be released next year as well!

The movie certainly made my day. Not to say making me tear at certain scenes as well. Haha

It's definitely a movie you don't wanna miss. However, it's pretty much the same watching it in 2D or 3D. The effects aren't all to shout for.

Making a house fly by just attaching hundreds of helium filled balloons might sound a tad bit illogical and impossible, but hey, why set such limits for our imagination? Besides, wouldn't you love to see something like that happen in real life? I certainly would. :D

Life is filled with adventures. And sometimes, the ones that may seem so boring to some might actually be the most important and memorable of all. :)

Let Loose

2009-08-11T23:49:00.003+08:00

I'm filled with anxiety.

Brain feels like it's gonna explode.

No thanks to OBU. =.=

So I decided to let loose.

A little shopping and...

The smell of new clothes~

*Relaxes*

At least I'm happy,

for a while...

Monday will be DOOM'S DAY >.<

Dizzy @.@

2009-08-06T10:29:00.004+08:00

Sing to the tune of Dory's "Just Keep Swimming"

Just keep spinning, spinning, spinning~

The world has been spinning since the second I opened my eyes this morning.

I'm not functioning. >.<

Can't afford to fall sick now......

2009-08-05T23:55:00.000+08:00

I'm sorry for the stupid things I do.

Emo

2009-07-30T00:24:00.001+08:00

I won't be strong enough to take 3 failures at one go.

God help me, I need all the support and strength to keep me standing.

Short Update

2009-07-16T18:44:00.003+08:00

I've been losing track of dates recently, and I very much blame it on the fact that I'm sitting at home, jobless, and supposedly enjoying my holidays.

Time flies. >.<

If you're curious as to what I've been up to recently, well, apart from staying home and burning my eyes dry on the computer screen, I haven't really been doing much. So I'm glad to tell you that I recently got a part-time job. Selling shoes.

I cry on the inside having to look at all the pretty shoes the whole day long without being able to buy any of them... YET.

Girls, if you're looking to do some shopping. Do drop by Pedal Works, Subang Parade (It's right opposite Uncle Lim's, next to Shins). There's a sale going on and goodness, if your shoe sizes aren't the common 5-7, you'll definitely be in for a very nice surprise. All those pretty, pretty shoes... T_T

Don't forget to tell the staff on duty I recommended you. :p

I want my July back...

GIMME BACK MY JULY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sigh

2009-07-16T18:27:00.003+08:00

You don't tell me things...

Or am I just expecting too much?

Whaaa...?

2009-07-12T20:29:00.002+08:00

Charcoal toast.

Star, I wanna be a star.

Shoes, dresses and that pretty necklace.

Time flies.

Wish I were back there again...

Broccoli XD

A little snippet of my hectic day in which I found amusing~

***

Comes home from latest job interview feeling tired.

Flops down onto bed and sleeps.

Dreams.

Suddenly in the middle of my dream...

*Heavy drums, electric guitar... IKENAI TAIYOU~*

Snaps awake from dream, registering the thought that my phone is ringing...

Looks at phone, unregistered number, wonders: Who's this?

Me: *groggy* "Hello?"

Anoy: "Hello? Is this Ms. Tan Wan Yong?"

Me: "Yes, it is..."

Anoy: "Hello? Hello? Ms. Tan Wan Yong???"

Me: *wondering who's calling... can it be another interview call or something?* "Yes, speaking."

Anoy: "Hello Ms. Tan. I'm calling from XXX college and I'd like to invite you to attend a talk on XXX and XXX tomorrow at our campus. Would you be interested to come tomorrow?"

Me: "Tomorrow? I can't actually, I'm kinda busy."

Anoy: "Oh okay, would you be interested if I continued to update you about XXX subjects the college is offering?"

Me: *thinking: You're in for some bad news lady XD* "Uh... not really. Actually I've already finished my course."

Anoy: *shocked voice* "Huh? Finished your course? As in completed all the papers and finished your exams?"

Me: "Yes, yes..."

Anoy: *disappointed voice* "Oh... okay then, thank you very much Ms. Tan."

Me: "No problem."

Puts down phone wondering what time it is.

Looks at clock.

What the heck!? 6.50p.m.!? Oh nuuuuuuuuu I overslept!!!

Tries to put on glasses in a hurry and still feeling groggy.

Sticks end of glasses into left eye.

Ouch... That's not the right way to put it on... >.<

Washes face and runs downstairs to cook.

Yells for brother to come down to help.

At about 7.20 p.m.

Brother and I stand in front of the table.

Staring at a dish of broccoli, wondering how to season it.

*Pours soy sauce*

Me: *holds bottle of oyster sauce* Eh... put how much ar?

Bro: *looks at me with the I-dunno-face* "... I don't know?"

Me: "Aren't you the master chef?"

Bro: "No... since when?"

Me: "Okay...."

Shakes bottle.

Once.

Twice.

Thrice.

Four times.

Me: "There.. enough kua?"

Bro: *Stares at broccoli like its infested* "I think so..."

Me: "Try and see?"

Bro: *gives me the are-you-serious-you-want-me-to-try-face?* "..."

Bro picks up spoon.

Slowly spoons up a broccoli (rather unwillingly)

Puts one broccoli into his mouth.

Chews.

Me: "So...? How is it?"

Bro: "Uhhh....... it's weird..... Sweet but salty at the same time... Err...I've never tasted anything like this leh... Hahahahah!"

Me: "Heh? I think its screwed... How?"

Bro: "Uhh... Put more sugar? Wait... that's not right... Hahahahah!"

Me: "..."

Broccoli dish - Total failure today.

I blame it on my lack of recent cooking.

Memorabilia

2009-06-19T17:49:00.001+08:00

Things that remind you of the people you love…
How long can we actually keep them?
How long can they actually last?

SMS-es, letters, cards…

Daddy’s sarong, Mum’s precious hand mirror;
Birthday gifts from friends, souvenirs from their travels;

That first soft toy from your first love;
That necklace your boyfriend put on your neck…

Your engagement ring, your wedding presents…

Your son’s first blanket, his first pair of shoes;
Your daughter’s first drawing that you put up on the fridge…

Your wife’s facial products that take up more than half the dressing table space;
Your husband’s raggy T-shirt, the one which you hate so much but yet can’t bear to get rid of because it reminds you so much of him when he’s not around…

***
As for the people we love…
How much of them do we retain by keeping things like these when they’re already gone?
How much can they actually help us remember them by?

And what will happen to these things when we ourselves have gone as well?
Will they be given away? Donated? Thrown out as trash?

Sometimes I wonder…
What are the things people remember me by?
Sachets of green tea? My butterfly earrings? All those Christmas gifts I’ve given out?

And when I’m gone, will people still remember me at the sight of those items?
Or would they just pass on in life without a second glance, just like how I do sometimes?

Wazzap?

2009-06-16T23:17:00.002+08:00

Haven't been updating for awhile...

For those who've seen me recently, you probably know what's been going on with the sad modem of mine. Anyway, I hope this is the last time I would even have to bring it back to the shop again. Isn't there a rule on how much warranty can cover? Hahah...

Life's been a lot of going out, spending money, and spending more money recently. Oh, and not to forget, meeting up with friends unseen for a long time more often than usual. But hey, I'm not complaining about the latter. :D

Need to keep my mind busy and off a lot of things I don't want to be thinking about.

Darn, I need to stop eating. XD

Study!!!
