~The Unspoken Words~

everything to me

2010-04-01T10:12:00.017+08:00

I grew up in Sunday School

I memorized the Golden rule

And how Jesus came to set the sinner free
I know the story inside out
I can tell you all about
The path that led Him up to Calvary
But ask me why He loves me
And I don't know what to say
But I'll never be the same
Because He changed my life when He became...

Everything to me
He's more than a story
More than words on a page of history
He's the air that I breath
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
He's everything, everything to me

We're living in uncertain times
And more and more I find that I'm aware
Of just how fragile life can be
I want to tell the world I found
A love that turned my life around
They need to know that they can taste and see
Now everyday I'm praying
Just to give my heart away
I want live for Jesus
So that someone else might see that He is...

Everything to me
He's more than a story
More than words on a page of history
He's the air that I breath
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
He's everything
And looking back over my life at the end
I'll go to meet You saying You've been...

You're everything to me
You're more than a story
More than words on a page of history
You're everything to me
You're more than a story
More than words on a page of history
You're the air that I breath
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
You're everything to me
Lord, you're everything to me

-everything to me by avalon-

Awesome song isn't it? Gonna perform this during Easter celebration service. The overlapping of parts are just so awesome :)

A frequent asked question: How does chocolate and bunny eggs relate to Easter?

The answer: It has nothing got to do with it. I honestly don't know how did chocs and bunny eggs came into the picture lol. I mean chocs cause Easter is a celebration, and chocs are always there for any celebration. But bunny eggs? Hmmm...

So then what is the true meaning of Easter? It is a glorious day that brings love, life, hope, peace, joy.... to everyone. Come and experience what is the true meaning of Easter...

If you're in pj, a production that can't be missed: Beloved @ GTPJ, No 6, Jln 13/4 PJ

The greatest event ever since creation was about to unfold... God was to reveal His purpose. A purpose that ultimately showed His True Love for You and Me. A Love so great that even the Heavenly Host could not fathom. A Love so pure even Angels wept. Watch the unfolding of this purpose and witness a love so immense it stopped all of heaven and changed all of earth.

2 April 2010 : 830pm - 1030pm
3 April 2010 : 5pm - 7pm

And if you're in Perth...

come for this joyful event with fun filled activities waiting for you :) Drama, dance, choir, music, games, food...

Thank you Jesus for Your love so great. As I ponder upon the event of Your suffering on the cross for me, I realize I am never worthy of that sacrifice. But I thank You that Your grace so free that I am saved by grace through faith :) A gift of salvation that I would never want to take it for granted. Lord, take me deeper, deeper in love with You. You are indeed everything to me, everything I need. I heart U!

a cubby room where I call home...

2010-03-28T22:14:00.015+08:00

My blog have been quite dead for the past few months. Sorry for the lack of enthusiasm here, to be honest I've lost the spirit of blogging, FB has taken over its place lol. However, will try to update every now and then so that you know I'm not dead and will come back and torment you again hehe... =p

Well, am pretty much adapted to the life here. Quite an adaptable person, just sometimes shops closes at 5pm get on my nerves. Sometimes I wanna go grocery shopping or run some errands after class but there's no one to entertain me :( So waking up early here is essential if not my to-do list will just get lengthier as the days passes. Being someone who crave waking up late back in pj... don't know why, though my parents are not here to nag me and pull me out of bed, surprisingly I wake up early, even earlier than my alarm clock could ring lol. Is a good thing I guess :) but which means I have super lil of sleep everyday. Still a late night here. Can't change that habit/lifestyle, is innate =p I don't even have nap... Which is super unusual of me. weird, weird.

My house... well, mine is a single storey house sharing with 8 other people (am staying on campus btw). To me, my room is big enough since I'm alone anyway. Good thing is no one can access into my house and room unless they have my student ID. So it's quite safe as long as I don't lose my student ID is fine. But the downside is you tend to lock yourself out of the room/house because the ID is in the room lol. Especially moments where you just need to rush to the toilet, is annoying... I'll be finding high and low for my ID card haha...

So I guess I shall let you have a round tour :)

So, this is where I call home... nothing compared to home in Msia :'( Being homesick is undeniable, just gotta live with it.

Missin' ya all back there. xx

in loving memory...

Exactly one month ago I was standing in the midst of a crowd in LCCT waiting to board the plane to Perth. After one month, I wish I had the same chance to be standing in Perth International Airport to board the plane back. Not being able to see Aunty Wee for the final time breaks my heart. I'm trying so hard to shove the tears away, but it keeps rolling down no matter how hard I tried. Why did I choose to go overseas? I wanna go home...

If there’s one word to describe Aunty Wee, sorry to say there’s none. Because she can’t be briefly describe in just a word. To me, she was bubbly, energetic, happy-go-lucky and definitely an inspiring, amazing aunty. And a great host too! She never fails to welcome me with a plate of fruits whenever I step foot in her house. She is no ordinary aunty, but an aunty that take charge on building my character by buying lots of self-help books and Christian books. In fact, almost all of her nieces and nephews had definitely received at least a book from her, her personal favourite: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey. Yup, she took the trouble to buy us all and I can say for sure that she has played a part in moulding me for who I am today. She’s always there to offer any advices and encouraging words. To be honest, she offers lengthy advices and encouraging stories… So many stories I’ve heard from her, she’s definitely not stingy in sharing her experiences. Of course there were times I felt that she was a lil naggy, but nevertheless it kept me pondering after our conversation. An inspiring aunty she is, and also a very godly aunty. Though she may be suffering from cancer over a year, but she kept her faith strong. In fact, many had witness that her faith grew even stronger than before. She definitely had demonstrated much for me to learn from. Times and times, she always encourage me in my spiritual walk, sharing her faith and how God had touched her. She had left a legacy behind for us to follow in her footstep, to keep our faith strong, press on and run our race well. Aunty Wee, it's my joy and privilege to call you my lovely aunty. You've truly been a blessing in my life, always feeding me with wise words and encouraging me on in my spiritual walk. Your smile and laughter will be greatly miss, your presence will always be in my heart. I thank God for placing you in my life. I miss you and I love you! Till we meet again, RIP.

Yesterday, 22-09-09 marked as a history to be remembered :)

It had been a whole 7 years since we knew each other... Yet,

yesterday was the first time we went out.

yesterday was the first time we had lunch together.

yesterday was the first time we catch a movie together.

yesterday was the first time we took a picture together. whee!

And little did we know that both of us HATE, totally HATE making decision lol.

So it was a day full of thinking and decisions to be made.

Gosh, it really gave me a platform to practice my decision making skills =D

Even before we actually met up, we were struggling where and what time to meet...

Yes, we don't like making decision :)

Honestly, I was quite fearful when we decided to meet up, well it's been 3 years since we last met.

Though we were somewhat close during high school, but we didn't really kept in touch along the way.

There were like hi-s and bye-s on msn & facebook, but hadn't had a long conversation.

I was just thinking to myself, what are we gonna talk about? Studies, future plans... what else?

I'm not exactly a bubbly person whom can just pop up a conversation and bla-bla-bla the whole day through.

Neither is she...

But, amazingly we just kept talking and talking... no worries about what to talk next.

It just came naturally.

I believe that the friendship bond is always there, no matter how long you hadn't keep in touch...

The question is, do you want that friendship? Are you willing to keep the friendship?

So Ser Lin, this is a post that I promised to post up hehe...

Thanks babe for the day, really enjoyed it!

Definitely there'll a second time coming along...

Friends always... XOXO <3

Idea for a proposal? Check this out then :)

2009-09-22T00:14:00.014+08:00

Before I update any further, check out this video first. I've watched it from Ian's blog, it's really sweet.. so hit the play button!!

I know, now you might be wondering whether is real or fake...

Well, some say is fake like duh-uh cause is so fairy tale-ish.

But some say is real, which I like to think so :)

Maybe the guy works in Disneyland and met her there...

So he asked his buddies to put on a show just for his proposal...

Well, it's not entirely impossible...

But whatever it is, real or fake... who cares?!
It's really a sweet proposal anyway.

Where your own fairy tale turns to reality in Magic Kingdom, Disneyland.

A proposal in Disneyland is sweet enough, what more a musical proposal in Disneyland...

Who can say no to that? I know I can't... lalalala :D

p/s: guys, if you need some ideas... why not this? :p

*btw, if you're using internet explorer, the font size is kinda cacat. Try google chrome and it'll just be perfect :)

glorify time :)

2009-09-20T18:10:00.017+08:00

Sorry for MIA-ing. Had to relax just a bit before I start blogging again. Everyone has been bugging me to update my blog... so here you go :)

Just working alone feels good! No worries about exams or teaching practicuum file to hand in... life is good. Especially when I'm enjoying every single bit of my work :) Though at times I have to take on a kakak role of cleaning, clearing and arranging the materials, washing the child's bum after they poo, changing them after they have wet their pants, wash their 'dirty & smelly' undergarments... these all doesn't matter because the satisfaction of being a teacher when a child learns something and able to achieve something, the joy that rise in my heart is indescribable. The only thing I hate about working is... well, waking up early =D There's a saying goes, early bird catches the worm. I guess I'm just not an early bird and so everyday i have to drag myself out from my comfy bed... that's the only dreading part of working. But once I reach school, I'm totally awake and energize to work.

During the past few months from May till August, was real hectic and tiring months for me. Like I've said, [work + teaching practice + piano exam + ministry] all at once was not easy to handle. Especially during the time when my piano exam was nearer, I literally broke down into tears everyday due to the stress and tiredness that I didn't know what to do and don't know how to go on anymore. One more week and I had to sit for piano exam, only then have I finish learning my 3rd piece, my scales were all over the place, no time for sight reading at all and oral - hopeless! I still remember walking out of the examination room thinking I was definitely gonna fail. The examiner asked me whether do I hear any difference when he played a passage, and I just stared at him blankly and said no. Then he asked again and advised me to listen to it carefully as he plays once more. So he played and again I just smile and said no. It's like so obvious that there is a difference if he advise me to listen to it carefully, I could have simply just answered anything... but I couldn't, my mind was blank and all I could think of was, "I'm failing, I'm failing, I'm definitely failing" LOL.

But God is always a faithful God. Amen! He knows the ups and downs that I was going through. Towards the last few days before my exam, I sat on my bed and in desperation ask God to take over. I was really at my maximum level of endurance, I can't push on further anymore and all I could do then was surrender and so I did. During the busy months, I still serve faithfully, going to cell and church... Truly, as you honour the Lord, He will honour you in return. I've passed my practical G8 piano!! It is really a miracle... never have I expected it. When I heard that I've passed, tears kept rolling down because indeed the Lord is good and walked with me through every seasons. His grace and strength is sufficient for me to carry on each day. Lots of time we keep striving with our own strength and tell God that's enough. But one thing he wants us to do and I've learnt it this time round is a simple word: SURRENDER. All it takes is simply surrendering to Him and He will take care of you.

In Him, we have the victory!

In Him, no power form against us shall prosper!

In Him, we can gain strength!

In Him, we shall obtain wisdom!

In Him, we can trust!

Thank U Jesus! :)

Though was busy months, but lots of happening stuff went on in between too =) I shall keep that for my next post :p adios!

Bonjour!

2009-08-20T11:51:00.010+08:00

Hola!!

I'm back :)
Lots of updates to shout out...

Yup, finally it's all over!!
Just completed my teaching practice file,

So just let me enjoy my hols before I start blogging again.

And 30-hour famine is here again.
Gonna starve for 30 hour this weekend.
Hope I will last like last year.
Gosh, this will be torturing...
But it's all for a good cause.

So till then, take care and be patient :)

say goodbye to teens :(

2009-06-02T11:55:00.013+08:00

No longer a teenager, tht's sad. It's funny tht when we were young, we always wanted grow up fast fast!! But now we realize, we cannot turn back time and wish we were all young and cute again LOL. 20 years old... it's quite a sesat age, cause it's neither here nor there. It's good in the sense tht, I'M A GROWN UP!!! But sad in the sense tht there's no somewhat an identity. Young adult? So not... It makes it even more confusing with the fact tht I'm working right now. Nah, but it doesn't matter. As long as I know I'm still young... at heart :)

Had 2 surprises for my birthday. One from my dearest cellies, which Mei Fong mass sms the members and forgot I was inside the list too. So I knew all the details of the plan... haha ;D Funny part, I had to correct her tht I was only 20, not 21 yrs old LOL. But they still continued on with the plan because I'll least expect it to happen. Quite jadi la haha... And the other from my college mates during Relay for Life. So so touch! thanks babes!

* a surprise with cake *

* Happy 20th Bday *

* my lovely cellies * :)

* they won't let me go without a challenge... evil-nya! *

* the challenge is : blow 20 candles in one blow with your nose.

Yes, impossible!! Didn't even manage to put off 1 candle. lol *

* my HUGE birthday card *

* such meaning to celebrate during RFL *

* wave goodbye to one *

* the gang tht never fails to put a smile upon my face * :)

thanks all babes!

the guy next door is crowned! =)

2009-05-21T22:24:00.004+08:00

The dark horse,

K.R.I.S. A.L.L.E.N... is the American Idol. Yipee!!

Love his humble and down to earth personality.

He might not possess the octaves tht Adam has,

but his personality has definitely melts ppl's hearts.

Definitely an idol to be!

Congrats babe!

Fabulous season, best batch of talents so far! :)

Attention Ladies!

2009-05-17T22:07:00.003+08:00

Experience it just a few days back. A traumatic one :'(

While driving back home from Leadership Cell at night, I got robbed at a traffic light on Jln Universiti. The guy broke my windscreen and took my bag away which was placed at the hand break. Yup, stupid of me to put it there. A terrifying experience. You always see something like this in Edisi Siasat, but never imagine tht it will happen to ourselves. So pls, be careful when you are driving... especially at night. Ladies, place your bag under the car seat where it can't be seen. Like I've previously said before, whether we like it or not, we ladies are often times the victims. So be extra cautious k? :)

This week itself, there were 3 cases tht happened along my music school as well. This lady parked her car right in front of my music school. And so this guy came crashing her windscreen at her driver seat, and snatch the necklace on her neck. So she wanted to come out of her car since the glasses were all over her and she got scratches on her face, next thing she know... another guy came towards her and snatch her bag away. Can you imagine?

The world is becoming a scary place right now... so before you step out of your house, do pray a prayer of safety. If possible, I advice all ladies to not flaunt your beautiful expensive accessories and bring handbags out. It's seriously not safe anymore. Not even when your car is safely locked. Be on your toes always :)

Take care!

thumbs up for this start!

2009-05-09T11:03:00.013+08:00

And so my prediction was right :)

All men top 3 finalist. Can't wait for the finals.
But sadly, wouldn't be able to watch the result show live
*Working* O.o

Coming back to my updates... Started working already for a week and it had been awesome blossom! Couldn't ask for a better start... really. I'm teaching 3-4 yrs old kids, as an assistant teacher. So basically, I don't take over a class yet. But probably in Sept when I'm all done with my teaching practice then i'll be taking over a class... my boss don't want me to be too stress out just yet, esp when I'm still in progress with my teaching practice. Isn't she nice? Very friendly, helpful, understanding... whtever u name it. My colleagues are fun to work with, never too stingy to pass on their knowledge or evaluate on my teaching. So it's an awesome experience! Had been working there for only 5 days, but I really feel a sense of belonging and also I have gain so much more than I could ask.

The kids there are super duper cute, very mixed races - chinese, indians, malays and caucasians. On my first day - just as I step into the environment (classroom), children were running towards me to read them stories :) I've been getting along very well with the kids. That's my expertise anyway right.. haha... Woopps!! Not showing off :P What is very different and unique here is, children call the teachers as aunties NOT teachers. I guess it's to let children feel more at home and more intimate compared to teacher where there is an invisible gap there. It's true tht children feel more at ease. So yeah, I'm called aunty there LOL.

Through this experience, one thing tht I've learn most is obedience. God showed me tht there He wants me to be. So by faith and obedience, I applied this job and started working. Lo and behold, I'm enjoying myself heaps, an amazing journey of learning ahead of me there. Through this, I believe tht in obedience as you trust the Lord and walk according to His will and not ours, the path will be straighten and lit up. For nothing is imPOSSIBLE for our Mighty God! God had been answering my prayers daily and all I can say is THANK YOU, JESUS! :) No words can express how I feel right now.

To all my dearest faithful readers, expect a blog hiatus as I'll be busy for the 2 months ahead. I'll try to update whenever possible, not a blogger maniac here =D

Before I excuse you guys, I must share this. I'm in love with Wu Chun!! :D OMG, he's just so P-E-R-F-E-C-T! Hmmm, maybe almost perfect :) Everyday without fail, for almost 2 weeks... My sis and I have been stalking him on his blog, you tube, news updates... whtever it is. What impresses me most is not his looks or mascular body, but his character and personality. Check out his blog and you know what I mean. I feel tht he is in this showbiz to impact ppl and not just for the fame. At the end of the day, looks can wear out, but not your character.

time to kill

2009-04-25T04:29:00.007+08:00

It's 4.30am and my thoughts are still running wild - I can't sleep!! ARGH!

It's irritating... I'm tired, but somehow I just can't pet myself to sleep. I've tried counting sheeps - it's not working and Ting, your empty-your-brain method doesn't work too. Lots of things tht gotta be done by next week, maybe tht's why my thoughts keep going back and forth. So instead of wasting my time lying on the bed, which I know I won't be able to fall asleep anyway, I decided to do some scribbling here to kill time.

I'll be having exactly 1 more week of holidays and it'll be work time. Yup, finally decided on the centre - The Children's House in Damansara Heights. Will be working full time while doing my teaching practice, so it'll be one hectic months ahead. But I know, time management is the ultimate answer. After all, they are paying me with quite a high pay... beggars can't be choosers. However at the end of the day, the most important thing is I'm pursuing in something tht I am passionate about. Tht's all tht matters :) The centre is well established, the teachers and staffs there are super duper friendly. A plus point, yay! Lots of expats there, so they'll be quite demanding in the sense... but anyhow it's all going to be good. I know it.

To be honest, I actually am excited to start working! It has been a long time sitting behind the books, it's time to move on to the reality world. Now tht I'm thinking back the good old days working in Madeleine Kindergarten, I miss those kids! I always love it when school ends because tht's when I get to mingle around with them. The happy moments definitely had overshadowed the painful moments I had :) Back to reality, I won't be working just for 3 months to fulfill my teaching practice requirement, but I'll be working full time till the end of the year. It may be a tiring and hectic, but definitely a fun and enjoyable journey.

“While we try to teach children all about life,
children teach us what life is all about”

I better get back cuddling my soft pillow and sing myself to sleep...
Till then, adios! XOXO

Hold on

2009-04-25T04:17:00.007+08:00

She tries and she tries
Fights every day to stay alive
But the pain hurts so deep inside
She cries out loud in hopes
That he will hear the sound
All she's needing is some kind of prayer
And to know that we'll always be there
She's gotta stay strong gotta hold on
She's got to hold... hold...

Chorus:
Hold (hold) on (hold on)
Just keep on keepin on
And have the faith to stay strong
Hold (hold) on (hold on)
The road is not an easy one
But life for you has just begun
Hold (hold) on (hold on)
Just keep on keepin on
And have the faith to stay strong
Hold (hold) on (hold on)
The road is not an easy one
But life for you has just begun

There was a boy he never knew
How much he had
He cried in silence every day
Because he missed his dad
Momma, she's hurtin,
She's nowhere to be found
He looks around
At shattered dreams upon the ground
But I have found the strength I need for sure
And I will not stop
Until I know for sure
That my life will not be (oh yeah)
Another wasted opportunity(yeah)

(Chorus)

Children of the world lend your ear
I know y'all been weeping all alone
For so many years
Let me tell y'all something
- heaven hears
And can see blue skies above your fears
So let the coolest of the sunshine in your eyes
Crystal raindrops purify our lives
Just like an arrow flies:
We're moving on
So be strong and hold on (yeah)

(Chorus)

We walk by faith and not by sight
Even if the road don't always feel right
I'm pressin on to higher ground
Cause when I'm lost
I know I'll be found... yeah...
And if all your days are filled with grace
Trust in yourself and the pain you face
Got to hold on
Hold on, hold on hold
Hold, hold on, yeah yeah (yeah)

Lord I need you now
You've got to hold on hold on
Oh, I know sometimes you wanna throw
You in something scream out loud scream yeah

Greg Kimble & David Hernandez- Hold On (Superb song!!)

Whatever tht u may be going thru, hold on... God sees the bigger picture :)
~Romans 8:28~
And we know tht in all things
God works for the good
of those who love Him,
who have been called
according to His purpose

American Idol had made history =)

Matt Giraud is saved!

Wow. I kinda thought they would and sure enough,

Simon announced they would use the coveted Judges’ Save this week.

That means next week we’ll have a double elimination!

Craziness! O.o

Matt definitely deserves this.

Although he didn't sing tht great last night,

but he surely is a brilliant singer

and he knows how to play the piano so well.

I mean it - So Awesome!!

Unfortunately sad to say tht his fan base isn't wide,

so eventually he'll be voted out again :(

My prediction:

Next week bottom 3 :

Lil Rounds, Anoop Desai and Matt Giraud

Top 3 finalist of Season 8 : [Same as you, Ian!] =)

Kris Allen, Adam Lambert and Danny Gokey

The Guys ROOOOCCCKKKSS!!!

2009-04-14T18:40:00.010+08:00

I'm back with an exciting news... I'm officially an organ donor!

I've been wanting to be one since a long time ago, but didn't execute my words into actions (tsk, tsk!). So after Good Friday presentation - Beyond Tears, booth were set up for people to sign up to be an organ donor. So finally, I can say I've walked my talk!! yay!

Babes, if you've been wanting to be, what are you waiting for? No worries, your organs can only be donated when brain death is confirmed :) You're not going to use it anyway, so why not bless those who need it. Lovin' this Good Friday, so meaningful!

Am still going round for kindergarten hunting. 2 more weeks and I still don't have a place... I'm doomed! Going for an interview tmrw, hopefully all goes well. *pray pray pray*

God pls, where do you want me to be?

I need your direction to unfold before me.

I choose to trust in YOU!

My Baby David : )

2009-04-04T23:40:00.008+08:00

Exactly a month ago, I've got so so excited when an envelope was addressed to me from World Vision. I've got a kid!!! Ok fine, it's not my kid... is my family's kid :)

Well, we recently got invlove in a child sponsorship where we contribute RM50 each month to help the child from poverty. RM50 doesn't mean much to us, but it means a whole world to those living and suffering from poverty. This child sponsorship also give us the chance to interact with them through snail mail. Cool huh! So let me intro u to my kid!!! :P

Name : David, Donatus

Age: 13

Chores: Babysits 4 brothers and 4 sisters

From: Singkawang, Kalimantan Barat, Indonesia

Isn't be adorable? ; ) Will be writing as many letters as I can to him to show him tht I CARE =) hopefully he'll reply me too. This feels so good!

If you are capable, why not sponsor a child? It'll definitely put a smile on your face :) Go, make a difference and help build a better tomorrow!

Being a good Samaritan doesn't pay off!!!

Just a few days back, I got cheated at my own door step. This guy came asking me for taxi fare... according to him, he just got back from overseas and doesn't have money to pay the taxi. So he asked me for RM70 and his dad will pay me back when he comes home from work. He gave me his IC to copy whatever info, and the best scene of all... he actually asked me not to open the door. It was so real and so eventually I bought his story. I was on the verge of giving him RM70, but my sister gave me tht you-know-stare, so I end up giving him RM20, which my sis contributed RM10. Little did we knew, the money never came back. It was a scam!!!

I tried calling his cell phone - "the number you have dialled is not in service, pls try again later" and I went to his hse, which I copied the add from his IC - no one was there. I was just trying to be a good Samaritan and lend a helping hand in any way tht I can. But on second thought now, nowadays being a good Samaritan isn't tht brilliant idea after all :( What is the world turning into? I am so pissed at the guy!!!!! ARGH!

But let's see it as the glass half full, I'm thanking God a million times tht at least he just wanted my money and not my life or anything. RM20 - treat it as donation la! I bet the guy had been eyeing all this while. The world isn't safe anymore... walking out of my hse scares me a lil now

Reminders to all esp. ladies,
Like it or not, we're always the victim of this.
So be alert and careful at all times! :)

p/s: che, cousins, aunty maureen - pls do not let daddy and mummy know about this. I've definitely learnt my lesson and I don't need another round of lesson giving from them. thks!

where, where?

2009-03-27T00:18:00.010+08:00

FREEDOM!! FREEDOM!!

Yes, am finally done with exams!! No more exams for year 2009 except for my G8 piano in July. I can say tht I'm almost done with my diploma course, but i still have another 3 more months for Teaching Practice. It's time to hunt for kindergarten who wants to accept me as a TP student and hopefully they will pocket me with some good pay :) But most importantly is tht i get to learn new things there! Actually I do have calls who ask me to go to their centre, but being indecisive as i am - I'm still thinking =p

So for the next 2 weeks, gotta finalised on where I wanna teach and off I start in May! I really am excited for this TP but when it comes to handing up lesson plans and reports... DIE! I gotta remind myself... no last minute! But then again, it nvr does work.

Time to catch up with my beauty sleep and will be heading up north for cheng beng and food paradise tomorrow! adios!

oh yea, a friendly reminder here...

SUPPORT EARTH HOUR!

Shut off all electricity on 28/3 from 8.30pm - 9.30pm!! It's just an hour... u won't die! :)

In support of:

fairy tale is just a dream...

After my first paper on Sat, I did a lil unwinding :)

DISNEY ON ICE - Princess wishes

Yup, I went for it. And my gosh, it's so awesome!! Stop laughing if you are... I've gotten so many laughs just because a 20yrs old "kid" is going for disney on ice. Who says disney is only for kids?? I love disney! They have one of the best love stories you can ever tell...

And so... it featured all the princesses - Jasmine, Belle, Snow White, Ariel, Mulan, Aurora & Cinderella. I still don't know how did Mulan get into the picture, I thought she got along with a commander, not a prince right? But who cares... Of course the prince did turn up as well as 7 dwarfs, sebastian the crab, flounder the fish, ursula the sea witch, the step sisters and lots of others more! Also, disney wouldn't be complete without the appearance of the king and queen of disney - Mickey & Minnie Mouse. Goofy was there too!! And special guess - tinker bell!! (She acted such a bimbo... haha!)

All I can say it was superb and I'll definitely hit the show again! Thanks to my mum and aunt who upgraded me twice!! =) so loves!!

lots of kids dress up with all their princess dresses... so beautiful!

the dragon from Sleeping Beauty

indoor fireworks!!

But sometimes I do hate Disney!!

nerd week!

2009-03-19T16:57:00.005+08:00

I'm done with my theory exam... phew!

I have no comment about it. I dare not say how well i did, cuz last week I was so confident tht I would pass my trials, but in the end I failed. Hilarious part, I failed even with my cousin's help haha... so I dare not say anything too soon. All I can say is I've done my very best =)

Sad to say, this is not the end of exams. College finals are getting started on saturday. And this will be my last and final exam in segi college... then I'll be off for my teaching practice in May. On one hand, I can't wait to start my TP, it'll be fun to teach again!! But on the other hand, I'm dragging to start. Will have to prepare lots and lots of lesson plans and my lecturer is going to sit in a few classes to observe me. Scary!!

Before I go on and on, I shall get back dating my books for another week! :)

oh yeah, I'll be going back Penang after my exams... food, baby!! can't wait :p

the killer

2009-03-14T22:13:00.008+08:00

Teachers sure know how to motivate and encourage their students:

"Boy, you really don't have music sense" (My cousin got this from her teacher)
"I-Yin, when only are you gonna start using your thinking brain?" (This is mine! haha... )

Seems like I don't have a brain, according to my piano teacher lol. For the past one month, I've been going to piano class thrice a week... THRICE, beat tht! And seriously, I almost died. And thank god, i'm done with tht cuz theory exam on Monday! And I'm not even half prepared.

Did my trials yesterday and failed =( Best part, Monday is the exam. God knows how am I going to sail through this lol. Jesus, me need HELP!! I've been getting all the scolding tht I can ever get... and I did try my best. I've been faithfully doing my homework, but somewhere just isn't right.

Thank God after this, I can finally kiss my theory and say goodbye!! 10 years of music theory and I'm done... Hallelujah! With tht said, hopefully I don't fail the paper on Monday!

For now, bear with me theory babe and I'll kiss u goodbye on Monday! =)

Phuket or Krabi?

2009-03-09T01:34:00.020+08:00

After me being MIA, I thought of making a comeback and update on my wonderful trip to Phuket & Krabi hehe... I know a lil outdated here, but it was a nice trip which worth updating :) My family and I went there for a week (3 days in Phuket, 3 days in Krabi). Both were awesome places. If u wanna have fun partying and stuff... Phuket is definitely your destination. But if you prefer quite and peaceful environment, go to Krabi! So sit down and relax while I show u some pics from the trip...

DAY 1

Our first day in Phuket. The resort is super nice... just 2min walk away from the busy Patong beach. Since it's our first day, so we took it easy and went around scouting for the best price for cave canoeing in Pha Nga Bay. Had a fabulous seafood dinner... there're cheap and yummy man! And so there goes 1 day of my holidays.

DAY 2

Here comes our second day in Phuket! The cave canoeing day! gosh... such a wonderful experience! The ocean was just blueish and greenish, very clean!! Love it! For the cave canoeing, we had to lie down in the canoe boat in order to pass through the cave to reach the lagoon and if the tide is too high, we have to let some air out from the boat so tht we won't hit the stalactite... interesting journey. After all the long journey of lying down, we got into a lagoon, amazing! I've always seen in baywatch where they actually get into the lagoon and i've never experienced it, so it was my first time in a lagoon (not counting sunway's lol)... awesome-ness! Hong island is like the best island!! Very beautiful rocks formation around... the scenary is just remarkable! I just can't seem to express the scenary in words.

Second picture... james bond pose?? haha... cause it's called the james bond island. The movie "The Man with the Golden Gun" was shot there... but there's nothing spectacular there except for one miserable rock as u can see in all the pics LOL. And soon we had to call it off for the day... but before tht, dinner time! First time eating lobster, yay! Some things are just meant to be once in a last time, and lobster it is. It's nice and all, but with the price you are paying, not worth it at all. I rather eat tiger prawns or something =p. And so 2 days had passed.

DAY 3

elephant ride!! Ooo.. i love elephants now! they are such a cute huge thing! I like sitting on the elephant's head, and my leg kepek behind it's ear... every now and then, it will flap it's ear, super nice. At first, sitting on the elephant it's like super geli cause it's like touching a really old grandmother's forehead or something because it's so kedut but after awhile, i was loving it. Especially, when the elephant had to go down a slope, veryt chi gek. It's like you're gonna fall anytime soon... I'm lovin' elephants! =D It was just a 3-hours ride, so went back to Patong beach to have a good sun bath. But, the weather was too nice, all we got was nice, airy breeze. I like it, but I wanna be tan too!! In the evening, the sisters went for sailing. We were supposed to sail on our own, but I think the fella saw 4 girls so didn't allow us to sail alone. Darn it! If not, it would be a memorable experience, struggling to sail the boat back to shore lol. And so last day of Phuket, off we go to Krabi the next day.
p/s: notice the process of elephant shitting? haha! =D

DAY 4

So Phuttasa is where we stayed in Phuket. Took a van to Krabi, almost a 3-hours journey. We took a public van since it was much cheaper, definitely a memorable ride where u hv to change van now and then, picking up passengers along the way. So a 3-hours ride, went on for another 1-2hours LOL. And here we are in Krabi. The Ao Nang beach was dissapointing! Instead of enjoying a white sandy beach, all we get was muddy sand which acts like a quick sand... tht's why u could see ting so much taller than Chen and me. Funny, funny... Didn't do much, just explored Ao Nang town and it's quite dead. Since there's no night life in Krabi unlike Phuket, we decieded to get some beers and chill out in our resort for the night.

DAY 5
Early next morning, we headed off for island hopping.

Our first stop: Phranang Bay (my favourite!)

Superbly nice island!! There's cave around, water is clear and clean, white and soft sand and total privacy!! We were supposed to rock climb here, but time didn't permit us to do so :( hopefully, there's a next time. Rayavadee resort is located there as well, a very expensive one - SGD 400 per night! My gosh!! The best part is, one of the cave has an alter where you can pray for fertility (haha!)

Poda Island

Lunch time! So we had a mini picnic there and fish feeding. Honestly, there's nothing much there... the fishes were all the same kind, boring! Malaysia's beaches have definitely more to offer!!

Chicken Island
Now u know where it gets the name from : ) This is purely just snorkelling and fish feeding. But if to be compared to M'sia, there's nothing spectacular about it. Our own local beaches provides more variety of fishes & ALIVE corals. All we saw there was DEAD!

Tup Island

The highlight of this island is that, 2 islands are nearby to each other and you can actually swim/walk to the nearby island. The water would be around waist length, very interesting. But a very tiring walk or even for that matter, swim. Because the waves would keep pushing you away from the sandy "pathway". There's quite many people in both of the islands walking back & forth, and the funny part is tht when so many people are walking from one island to the other island, my dad commented tht it looked like ppl migrating HAHA.

And so, our day ended with a delicious meal!

DAY 6

Oh mine, so fast... my trip had come to an end. When you're busy enjoying yourself, you don't feel tht time passes. How we wished tht everyday is a holiday, provided if it doesn't involve cost :) Since it was the last day we decided to take it light and easy - camwhore around the our resort Sunda, have a fabulous lunch before leaving and lepaking around the Ao Nang town. But before leaving, we found a slightly nicer, white sandy beach at Norpharattara. Why?? Only towards the end of our trip, we found out about it =( Later in the afternoon, we hopped in the van and went back to Phuket to board our plane.

All in all, it was a good and fun trip!! The most important thing is tht our family get to spend time tgt. So there u go, plan ur trip to Phuket & Krabi : ) My next destination in Thailand will be Phi Phi island & Bangkok (shopping!) =D

"Goodbye and All the Best" are the only words tht can be said at this point of time.
This month is a month filled with endless goodbyes. One after another, and I've already sent 8 ppl off this month itself. I'm definitely gonna feel the pinch this time round since so many ppl had left at once.

To all who had left, here are some words from the bottom of my heart:

Chen - You know how I feel, I shall not say anything... if not you'll be thinking tht I thought you were dead LOL

Yi Wei - Am already missing your hype-ness here! LOL =D sry tht I couldn't make it to send you off yeah, but do know tht you're in my heart :) gonna miss all our outings together... wasted tht I didn't had a sleepover with u guys before u left
=( miss u heaps!

Mun - Seriously, I think your tears are in vain. You're enjoying yourself so much there... so what for the tears haha :D (wooppsss, did i say tht too loud hehe...) I can't believe it, we still haven't go shopping tgt yet! urgh! I'll miss u babe =)

Nerissa - Honestly, it's still not really registered in my mind tht u're gone. I don't know why.. maybe I like thinking tht you're still here. Come to think of it, I can't be certain when's the next time we're actually meet. This is gonna make me miss u even more girl! :) Will keep you updated as much as possible, no worries! (p/s: I want pics!! from one U & airport)

Zink - Ahh, you're gone AGAIN! LOL. This time round we've been hanging out so banyak... considering I've not join u guys for quite a few outings. I'm gonna miss u alrights. Miss all the talks we had tgt and I know you'll miss me too ; )

The old has gone, the new has come.

And here we are again, starting another new year- year 2009 in the year of OX.

I love Chinese New Year.
It's a time for:
GATHERINGS
LOVE
FAMILY
MONEY
FOOD!!

More excuse to be fat!! muahaha... eat first, diet later! Then again, everyone is telling me that i'm losing weight, so putting on a few kgs probably won't harm *fingers cross* :)

Will be going back to Penang as usual, and no more M'cca. It's sad... Years have gone by and slowly the memories of chinese new year in Malacca is starting to fade away. I'm trying my very best to remember every single details that we did in CNY so that the memories can remain memories, and never fade away.

Some memories...
1. Eating ketupat on the 1st day of CNY (baba & nyonya, wht u expect! lol)
2. Having authentic nyonya dishes!!!
3. "Panjang-panjang umur, Untung-untung" - Kneeling down and blessing Kong-Kong & Mama before getting the RED pow
4. CNY dinner at Ramada Hotel - always!
5. Playing in the room and getting scolding for locking the door. Those were the days... lol
6. Math tuition every night without fail : )
7. Lion dance right at the door step!!!
8. Cousins spending every little time that we have on the jetty
9. Busking at the jetty singing 'Never had A Dream Come True' haha... and at the end of the day, we spent more than we make. Typical of us! :D
10. Getting interviewed by TV3 on one of the year for being a multiracial family. lol

These memories will remain memories forever. And I shall continue to form my penang memories to be a memorable one : )

To all, Gong Xi Fa Cai!!
p/s: If you're married and reading this right now, keep my ang pow for me till i get back yeah! :p Have a wonderful chinese new year and eat as much as u can! :D

the newlyweds!

2009-01-12T21:49:00.011+08:00

Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

Busy days ahead, so don't bother to be faithful as I won't be blogging much : )

Till then, happy holidays and a Merry Christmas!

HO...HO...HO...

edward, the vampire!

2008-12-14T20:52:00.002+08:00

"Have you watch twilight?", "Edward Cullen is so cute!" I get this wherever i go. Yes, I've watched twilight, the second day on screen hehe... and No, I don't think Edward Cullen is so cute. He's just ok-ok, but not the jaw-dropping kinda cute LOL. I read the book, and of course, no doubt the book is a 100 times better and the book described him as the one and only charming-good looking-cute, whatever u name it guy. And I don't find Robert Pattinson that guy. But then again, Edward Cullen is too perfect that nobody can potray him. Although I only have a opaque imagination of him in my mind while reading the book, but somehow or rather he looks much much more charming in my imagination haha :D I know u guys must be thinking tht I'm crazee...

Now tht everyone is head over heels for Edward, there's actually a fashion blog name after him. Seriously, wth?! haha... girls really do get crazy when they are in love especially when it comes to prince charming LOL

I better get my bum off this chair and study!! It doesn't help when everyone is happily having holidays and my cousin is back from New Zealand, it really makes me feel miserable!! Soon, soon... I'll be done with exams and I'm all out to P-A-R-T-Y!! 3 more days to go and Merdeka!!

p/s: Can't wait for thursday. My dear sister is coming back from US!!! It's been a long time since I last saw her... and I miss her dearly : )

ONLY ladies!

2008-11-23T00:50:00.013+08:00

I'm back peeps! Sorry for my long silent absent. Hadn't exactly been busy, just pure laziness to sit and blog hehe... but am back! =)

Had a total blazin' weekend last week with my darling cousins! There's always a first time in everything, and last sat was our first bachelorette night! Yes, bachelorette night! ONLY GIRLS! or maybe a stripper?! LOL. I mean is only complete to have a stripper in a bachelorette night, but then again, we are all innocent and decent ladies ; )

It was really a night to remember. But it would be perfect if Chen, Vinder, Sheryll and David were around. Yea yea, David is a guy. But he's exceptional : ) Oh well, we can't have everything always, can we? There sure will be more bachelorette night on the way!! There was no other perfect place to celebrate besides Luna Bar (big thks to Vinder!). The view there was awesome and I seriously do mean it. Just sitting down and gazing the perfect view of KL tower, or when u're sick of mesmerizing KL tower, just turn around and KLCC is right in your view. The environment and atmosphere was just awesome! I'll definitely go back there, someday : )

*snap snap*

~the perfect view of KL!~

~groupies~

~the juicy moment --> story-telling time! : )~

~the RED sisters~

~the bride-to-be & me~

Two weddings are just round the corner and I can't wait!! I love attending weddings... it's a time to dress up and make up!! hehe... but let's put that aside, it's such a sparkling and romantic moment where two person from a whole different world coming together saying "I Do". Two such simple words, but it carries a strong meaning to it. It involves love, commitment, responsibility, understanding, concern, togetherness and it all ends up- till death do us part. Don't you think is such a touching and teary moment? Ok, maybe is just me LOL.

new chapter, new journey

2008-10-21T17:29:00.018+08:00

Omg, I'm in my 6th semester! This is fast. One more semester to go and I'm off for training in a kindy. Is fun to get in contact with kids again, but then with my lecturer observing and assessing my teaching, I'm thinking twice about the word fun.

But before all that, many decisions I've got to make. If u know me well enough u know I hate this part. In fact, u don't even need to know me well to know that I'm an indecisive person which takes literally forever to make up my mind. I gotta decide on where I wanna be trained? When should I start? Which uni should I go to? Ahh... and lots more to it. I shall not bore u guys with all the decision tht I should make :)

Argh, I hate short semester! Of course assignments are piling high and club activities are in progress again. All are cramped in 7 weeks to be done!! God, helps!! =)

I'm in the mood of SHOPPINGGGG!!! Gotta shop for the 2 weddings at the end of the year. Thank God, my dresses are done. Now is accessories and shoe hunting!! Whheee! I am so in the mood for this man! LOL... honestly, since when I am not in the mood of shopping spree hehe... no wonder my sis is complaining =(

Thanks to my sis tht I'm into the Edward series.
Book #1: Twilight
Book #2: New Moon
Book #3: Eclipse
Book #4: Breaking Dawn

I'm at my third book now which I'm so tempted to pick up and start reading it. But my assignments are waiting for me and picking the book up is not gonna do me any good. Yes, I am blogging here. I just can't help it... I've already stared at the computer for a whole long afternoon, forgive me! And I was browsing through facebook, I saw some pretty cool bumper stickers about Edward!! If u didn't know, Edward is the Prince Charming in the book :) Seriously, He's like the perfect guy u can ever have, just one thing: he's a vampire. Guys, I'm sure u all are rolling your eyes right now. But sometimes girls just like to think that there's a perfect guy somewhere out there :) *Sometimes, dreams are meant to be dreams*

Definition of Edward Cullen:

~read new moon and u'll know what's a volturi~ : )

round and round the penang island

2008-10-06T10:06:00.032+08:00

I've been to Penang tons of times but yet many places are still foreign to me. My parents hadn't really brought me around Penang for a tour. But touring round Penang for food hunting have never failed my family and I. Well, there's nothing much in Penang besides eating and eating and eating again! C'mon it's a food paradise!! : ) U can't say NO to food in Penang, it's like a sin LOL Having said that all... yes, I just came back from Penang not too long ago. My first trip with my college mates and all I can say is AWESOME! :) We sure had a blazin' time!

We didn't eat much though, but we went round visiting quite a lot. Many of it is my first time too! haha... We toured Kek Lok Si Temple, Fort Cornwallis, Sleeping Buddha and Batu Ferringghi Beach. Hey girls, I've had lotsa lotsa fun! <3 u all!! Muakksxz! Pictures time...

I had a second dosage of Penang food when my parents came up to meet me. Ooo lala... the food!! Asam laksa, apom, chendol, fried chicken skin, O'chean (don't know how to spell hehe...), kuey teow teng with duck meat, carrot cake, ais kacang... there's lots more that we didn't manage to eat. Nvm, another round in december!!! muahahaha :D

p/s: I'm so proud of myself! I could manage to direct my friends round Penang... Is a plus point with Malaysia's signboards k :)

J.E.S.U.S.!!

2008-09-25T17:41:00.011+08:00
It's been almost a week since I've started my 2 weeks holidays. And so far it's been good... and it's gonna be better with a road trip to Penang with my college mates! No worries, I'll be enjoying myself!! : )

As I reflect back at my last semester... oh boy, a real busy sem. I know, I've been repeating myself over and over again. But I can't help it, cause indeed it was a hectic semester. And all I wanna say is Thank You, Jesus for pulling me through the tough seasons that I had ventured in. God had really seen me through every step that I took and gave me the strength that I needed to carry on. The funny thing is that it's amazing to see how these little events of happening in my life have not only mould me but also had actually helped me to draw closer and deeper in the Lord.

Have you ever come to a point where you have nowhere to turn to or don't know who to look to? If yes, my answer to you is only one: turn to God. During my moments of being desperado, the only person that I could turn to without fearing of being judged or being rejected was God. Somehow or rather when I turn to God, I felt peace filling my heart and I can assure you that, it is the peace of God and His spirit resides in me.

During my exam period, I was quite stressed out and nervous since all the papers are tough ones and with the change of exam formats scares me even more. But during those moments, something kept stirring in my heart and I kept having the urge to pray. Never in my entire life have I once prayed more than I studied but this time I did. And it was really a new meaning to me on how to surrender it all to God. I guess God was trying to remind me that I can do everything, but at the end of the day... learn to surrender everthing to God and trust in Him that He will pull you through. And like I've just mentioned, the peace of God is just indescribable! It is that little step of faith, placing your trust and allowing God to intervene.

Mat 17:20
"Because you have so little faith.
I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed,
you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move.
Nothing will be impossible for you"

bits and pieces of August

2008-09-12T11:03:00.044+08:00

Am having my exams right now, but yet I'm still sitting in front of the computer blogging. I know on Monday when I'm sitting for my paper I'll be regretting this. But I can't seem hide my head behind the books anymore. I'm so sick of studying!! More like I'm sick of memorizing! So I shall take a break : )

Let me bring you back to the month of August. Gosh, it had been a hectic and busy month for me. But I am here to testify that it was one of the best month ever. Basically, the things that was keeping me so packed & stress up was definitely assignments as well as preparation for 30-hour famine.

16 - 17/08/08
Fraser's trip with my dad, aunts, uncle and of course not to forget my darling niece!!! With all the tight schedule of assignments, I needed that break. Although it's just 2 days, but it was more than enough. ~the BIG bungalow that we stayed in~
23/08/08
Here it comes, 30 hour famine!!! After all the long planning, preparation and organising, finally the day had come. It was seriously a famine to remember. Yeah, I was starving myself for a long 30-hour. And let me tell you, I'm not good at this. I always eat when my mouth feels itchy (unless I'm lazy!) and I can never say "NO" to food. I've fasted before, but have never for 30-hours. I am so proud of myself that I've actually did it and survived!!

It all started out with some ice-breaking and soon it was the first challenge of the day.

1. Poverty Challenge.
Each group is given 45mis to find water. The winner of course is the group with the most water. But there's a trick to it. We need to get as much water as we can from all over the place whether it's from the drain, donation, dirty water on the road, puddles of water, anywhere, as long as the source is not the pipe. One group even peed in the bottle. Eeww! Yeah, i know! :D The main purpose of this challenge is to let them feel how poverty children live. Often times they need to walk miles away from their home to get some drinking water. And often times their water is contaminated... so be thankful ppl!!

2. Home Challenge
Each group gotta build a house with newspaper and recycling materials that is able to fit 5 ppl... so here's how it turned out:

3. Medical Challenge
Each group were supposed to carry a sick child to the doctor for medical treatment in a group with 3 blind ppl, 2 disabled ppl and 1 blind and disabled person. In between, they need to pass through obstacles before reaching to the doctor. In the real world out there, those living in poverty always are down with different kinds of illnesses and many times they have no money to send it to the doctor to be treated, or even worst, there is no doctor around to treat themselves or their children.
I didn't participate in all of those challenges since I am part of the committee team. So I get to stand behind and enjoy their lil suffering moments with the camera in my hands :D
Saturday Night Life... and the theme of the night was "Kampungku". So everyone was required to dress in Kampung style and there were advertisement presentation from each group. Gosh!! It was an awesome time man!! Seriously, the scripts were greatly written and their acting skills, i can say- perfect!!

24/08/08
Headed to Bkt Jalil Stadium for the last 4hours of countdown.

~still bersemangat in the rain~

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,11111111!!!
~koko crunch taste so so so good!~

This 30-hour famine has definitely made an impact in my life. You and I can make a difference in the life of poverty children. We have always taken granted for the blessings in life and have never really appreciated what we have been blessed. I've gone through it, it may just only be 30 hours but it really did make me realize that we shouldn't just thank god and appreciate what we have right now. Can't we just do a lil something to help them to live in a better tomorrow? This event has given me different perceptions in life, and it would be one of the most memorable event in my life. I'll go for it next year again, no doubt about it! Come on, let's make a difference!

29/08/08
Enjoyed my night out in Stadium Merdeka for Avril's concert.

30 - 31/08/08
Being patriotic in our uniform night party. Merdeka countdown for once, proudly singing Negaraku! Happy Belated Birthday, Malaysia!!

the best damn tour

2008-08-30T02:46:00.005+08:00

It all started of with this ticket. Never in a million years would I picture myself in Avril Lavigne's concert. Well... not if I need to dig deep into my pocket to pay :) So, obviously the ticket came FOC!! All thanks to Yu Khim!! Thank U, you made my day! =) The concert was great, at least better than I expected. Now that I think back, I can't believe I actually sang along "Hey, hey, you! you! I want to be your girlfriend!" OMG! :D

It's surprising that she didn't mention any word like "Apa khabar" or even "Terima Kasih". I think she couldn't remember which country she is in since she didn't even mention the word Malaysia LOL. I expected something like... "how are you doing, Malaysiaaaaaaaaa!" haha :D

I really don't see any reason to ban Avril from performing. She's like the most decent dressed artist you can ever find. She wore a shirt and jeans during the entire concert. How much more do you expect?
yup, us in a plastic raincoat. It was raining!!
It all begins with the most hit song"Girlfriend"!

Avril on drumsss!!!
This is where all it ended!

~stay tune for updates on 30hour famine~

FAITH!!!

If your daughter was killed by your son, what would you do??

Steven Curtis Chapman, a Christian artist whose adopted daughter was killed in a freak accident by his son (it's all by accident!). Steve Curtis Chapman and his family shared their experiences LIVE on TV with Larry King Live (CNN). The story is really moving, and it's a testimony of faith, love and strength. It's rather long... a 6-part Video, but really worth watching. Tears can't help but keep rolling down my cheeks when hearing their sharing and testimony of faith! Enjoy the interview, it's really moving!

Steven Curtis Chapman also wrote a song, Cinderella - the Love of Daddy and his Princess which was inspired by his daughter who died- Maria Sue. A super beautiful and wonderful song! Check it out on the left hand side of my blog.

August, 2 big highlights of the month - Olympic and 30-hours famine!! Exciting-nya!!

The lap top and tv are both switching on in front of me. Olympic is really making me lazy. The only thing I do once I'm awake is staring in front of the TV screen. Come one, Olympics is only once in every four years and it's damn nice to watch it. Talking about olympic... Malaysia have failed us again. Well, what to be surprise of? Wong Mew Choo, Kien Keat and Boon Heong had lost last night. And right now our only chance and our only hope is on Lee Chong Wei in a few mins time. Go Chong Wei!! Make Malaysia proud!!

Swimming - without surprise our Malaysian swimmers hasn't once qualified for semi-finals. I mean is understandable. Check out all the swimmers body la, compared to Malaysia... we all are like lembik. LOL.... no offence. Michael Phelps...Gosh, he's a real good swimmer!! Beating all the world record... he's practically flying in the water. But I still prefer Ian Thorpe. Only if he's not retired, he sure will give Phelps a good challenge. And I bet Ian Thorpe won't give a chance for him to have his 8 goal medals.

I'm waiting... waiting for Chong Wei's match and waiting for the astro people to come. My garden will be appearing in an advertisement. Yeah, not me. sad sad...
=( LOL... but oh well, at least my garden is in! There's 30+ cast that will be here for the commercial shooting. So proud of my garden haha... :D

HOTTEST drama in town!!

2008-08-12T02:25:00.009+08:00

I so must share this!!

During the financial crisis, Dr M decided to consult a Bomoh.
Bomoh : You must get rid of ANWAR.
Dr M : What! Why him?
Bomoh : Because ANWAR stands for "A Nation Without Any Ringgit"
Dr M : But how? He is very popular with the people.
Bomoh : Aiyoh, why you so bodohlah.
Look at your Name - MAHATHIR.
Make Anwar Homosexual And Then Highlight It Repeatedly!

This is so true!! When will they get over with all the dramas?? I'm getting so sick of all this. Can they just settle everything and start doing something about our country!!!

the exciting experience

2008-08-05T14:40:00.015+08:00
Yeah, I'm finally blogging! My bad. July had been hectic for me but it was all nice and fun time with the fund raising activities for 30-hours famine. We did reach our target of RM10,000. Better still much much more than that! =) After all the long and tiring days, it's all worthwhile. We had hand print, car wash, knock out poverty game and tree of hope for our fund raising activities. I never knew people can be so generous in giving when it comes to charity, maybe I shouldn't be sceptical... but on the other hand, there are people who are stingy like hell!! Which makes me want to cekik them! Lol... But oh well, it was all good.

Few days back, a few friends and I volunteered to help out during the NASOM sports day. NASOM is an NGO organisation for autistic children. So the sports day are meant for them. I've learnt all the theories and facts about autism - they're in the world of their own, don't make eye contact, does not display social interaction and bla bla bla. It's all at my fingertips. But facts and reality is a whole different scenario. It's just so interesting to mingle around them. Without you knowing, most of them look so normal. There is not even a hint of disability when you look at them, but sad to say there is.

But they are all such a loving bunch of kids!! Although at times, talking to them is like talking to a wall since they are always in the world of their own and does not make any eye contact with anyone. Yet still, they are so sincere in everything that they do. I miss them all!! Times like this always drives me to want to get a higher education in special needs, but I always wonder, will my emotions tangle me up? Can I teach the kids without being emo? Can I teach the kids without tearing? With all the doubts and thoughts filling my head, the final answer is: NO. But I guess, sometimes it's because of my emo-ness towards these kids that drives me to be a better educator for them. I'm sure my compassion and passion for them can conquer my emo-ness!! : )

Oh just wanna share a video clip with you guys... it's hilarious. But pls pls pls don't get the wrong message. Have fun!

I'm not saying not to have kids!! Just be prepared. Hehe... : )

updated ~ bad byes!

2008-07-16T10:24:00.005+08:00
Dear readers,

I'm sorry for not updating my blog, at least not in words. This semester has been the most tiring and rushing semester ever. There's assignments due EVERYWEEK!! And every week there's club activities going on to raise funds for world vision in conjunction with 30-hrs famine. Anyone kind enough to donate some for the kids suffering from poverty? Your danation is more than welcome =)

God knows when my last long and nice sleep was and it's been long since I last sat down in front of the tv. But yet I still need time management!! I'm blogging right now, so you know why i need it LOL... but the interesting part is this: my house comp is attack by spyware and the only websites that I can log on is hotmail, windows messenger and........ CRUNCHYROLL!!! haha... Just so u know, it's a site where u download series. So yeah, it says it all.. Time management. Well, but while loading the show I try to keep myself focus on my assignments. The show is just secondary for relaxing purposes :) (yeah right!) LOL..

But so far i'm still under control... well no choice but to be under control since the comp is in my sis room. I can't be watching it with her sleeping there. So it's a good thing that my comp got infected with spyware so that i only get distracted from crunchyroll alone. I know is bad enough =(

Why why why... Why do people have to leave in the midst of my busyness? I don't have time to go out. Damn!! and it all goes down to two words- TIME MANAGEMENT!! Well well... outing first, worry later haha... so am going to hit the cinema this friday, watching-- Dark Knight! It's like the must watch show this year. Can't wait!!! =)

On another note, I miss my lovely darling Jess!! 3 years ago she left and never came back until recently... back for 3 weeks and cabut off. I only get to meet her twice! Aihz... i'm reminiscing those days- Section 5 cell!! And next Yuwin. Gosh, how many people more do I have to say goodbye? To be honest, a lot more. And i hate this!!

p/s: i'm in college since 7am in order to FOCUS on doing my assignments... (yeah, wth?) and will be here the whole long day. How sad can it be? =(

corrupted mind?

2008-07-04T16:17:00.002+08:00

what do you see? ahh.. my mind is NOT corrupted!!
try and look at it again... is not what you're thinking LOL...

Answer:

If you see the answer, and still can't spot the dolphins in 6 seconds... according to research, your mind is heavily corrupted!!! haha :D

España!! España!!

I'm finally blogging about my Vietnam trip. Sorry guys, didn't had the patient to upload the pics, plus my comp got strike by lighning. So here you go… you know, when people say pictures speaks a thousand words… that’s what I’m gonna do exactly ; )

First day
Highlights: grass skiing, lunch- pho (Vietnamese famous beef noodle), shopping and authentic Vietnamese food for dinner.

~Grass toboggan~~Grass skiing!!~ fun fun... well, there's no ice, so gotta find some substitution~ ~Pho- the most famous beef noodle in Vietnam. Love it!!~

Second day:
Highlights: underground church, shopping, manicure, pedicure and seafood dinner.
~pampering myself =) well, it's only RM15 for both mani and pedi with patterns!!!~
guess, guess, guess...
seafood dinner. which total cost was... slightly more than RM100~authentic vietnamese food~

Third day:
Highlights: Mekong River and FOOD POISONING!!! Thank God I kinda recover soon enough to enjoy the following day. Now I know the pain of getting food poisoning… practically coming out from all places, up and down! People eat to satisfy their stomach, but I eat to throw it all out. Never have I once find eating such a torture.
~making rice paper~
~doesn't it reminds u of Rambo?~
~ poor horse... i know =) but it's total fun!~
~sharing the sampan with some hot dude~ ; ) hehe...

Forth day:
Highlights: Cu Chi Tunnel (Vietnam War Zone), city tour: war museum, Notredame church and post office.
~ tunnel for war against US. damn smart of Vietnames!!~
~don't mess! AK 47~
~this is a modified tunnel to the previous one... so that tourist can fit in it~
~war museum~
~Notredame Church~
~super big post office~

Fifth day:
Highlights: ferry ride from the apartment, pottery visit and it’s time to say Goodbye…
~the apartment beside the river. superb view, thanks to aunty kiem!~
~yes, i'm proudly presenting my soft pillow to you! I can't sleep without it...
ironically, we have a set! Dolls, blanket, bloster and pillow!~ =)
~home sweet home~

Interesting “facts” I've found out during my trip...
No. 4 - I look like Vietnamese!
No. 3 - There are no fat people around Vietnam (I’m serious!) Never see one though.
No. 2 - If you think your hair is in a mess... think twice!(I pity the wiring man!)

No. 1 - Close your eyes while crossing the roads in Vietnam.
If not you’ll never get across. Let the motorcyclist do their job. There’re hundreds of them, I mean it literally hundreds of them. Yes. You did hear me correctly. No way you’re gonna dare to cross the road with your eyes wide open LOL

p/s: did I tell you that we actually had driver bringing us everywhere. As in real driver, where they open the door for you, help you carry your bags and stuff. So cool right! =)

Splash or Smash?

2008-06-16T15:25:00.003+08:00
We got it both. Smash and Splash at the Summer Splash Party @ Lagoon.

Gosh, we queued up for a whole long hour just to get into the entrance (considering we cut a whole long queue *grin*). Imagine, we had to fake that we're gonna faint to get in. Thank God the security guards bought our lies =) The crowds there were like millipedes. Berlambak-lambak!! Never had I gone to anywhere that I had to be squashed like a sandwich even before stepping in the entrance. During the whole squashing process I couldn’t even lift my hands a single inch. Security guards are all over to make sure we do not cross the line. Gosh… there seriously were “no air (air), oh baby, no air (air)” LOL. People from left right, front back just keep pushing although they know it’s not going to help. Some people just don’t get it, do they? You still can’t get your way through even though you push. Geram betul!!! It’s just summer splash!!!

Yup, and we got splash. Some bapok who didn’t seem to be pleased that we were dry!

Celebrate . Remember . Fight Back

2008-06-03T20:03:00.005+08:00

Cancer... the serial killer nowadays. Never have I notice that such a huge number of people have suffered from cancer. Any form of cancer, whether is lung, liver, breast... which ever. There are so many people that knows someone who have suffered from cancer. Me including. Relay for Life helped me realise that what we say and what we do helps those who suffer from cancer. A word of encouragement and support are essential and vital for each cancer fighters out there.

Oh btw, Relay for Life is a charity program where it goes on for 16-hours. Through out these 16 hours, there must be at least someone on the track walking or running, which symbolises cancer does not sleep. Throughout the night, there were interesting programs entertaining us. Especially the one, aqua contest (Wooppsss!) hehe... I mean "beauty pageant" contest =D

SHOW TIME!

yup, we gotta pitch a tent for us to rest the whole 16-hours!!

the luminaria ceremony- where you remember someone you know who have died of cancer, fighting for cancer or survivors of cancer

the "beauty" of SEGi College... ahaha =D yes, is a guy!

running the track with our college banner...

~ there's always a light of hope when you believe~

a BIG thanks...

2008-05-31T00:26:00.003+08:00
First of all, wanna say a million thanks to every single one who wished me happy birthday. And those who didn't... don't worry you're forgiven hehe... ; )

To my college and church friends:
Thanks so much for the surprises!!!
Totally appreciated it lotssss... Love ya all! Muaaxxx!!

championS of the season

2008-05-22T21:23:00.015+08:00

Glory Glory Man U!!!

Told ya Man U will win the cup!!
I'm so thrilled and feel like shouting my lungs out!
You don't understand what my heart went through during the intense moments
But it was all worth while.
To see Man U win... my whole night of not sleeping is worth it all!!

A great goal from Ronaldo, thanks to brown for a perfect passing!
I know... Ronaldo miss the penalty! I didn't expect him to hit in anyway.
He's always too confident... biasalah!
Just look back at Barcelona's match and you'll know what I'm talking about.

I feel sad for John Terry.
I rather Ballack slip and miss it!!!
I do feel for him... serious!
Buuutttt.... a BIG thanks to Van der Sar for the memorable save from Anelka
Totally AMAZING!

To be honest, If Drogba hadn't had a red card...
I believe the end result would have been different.
But who cares anymore!
cause MAN U HAD WON!!!

American Idol
David Archuleta won the night
BUT
David Cook won the title!!

To be honest, I am shock since Archuleta performed much better than Cook.
But to me... both of the Davids are the American Idol.
Both are good in their own way... and this season is definitely the best season ever! =)

I bet if weren't for the rumours... the top 3 would have been the 3 davids...
David Archuleta, David Cook and David Hernandez!!!

Today is such a great day!! =)

I'll be leaving for Vietnam tomorrow... so bye bye peeps! Gotta hurry up and pack my bag. I just hope that my bag wouldn't be overweight, which it have the tendency to be hehe...

p/s: May, you are so gonna kill me when you read the man u post haha... sry la, too happy! :D

Win or Loose... depends on tonight!

2008-05-21T14:35:00.008+08:00

Yup, tonight is THE night! Finals for Champions League and American Idol !!!

No way am I watching it ALONE!

So am gonna crash in Klang and party the whole night long...

Who's gonna win the cup?

Of course I'm keeping my fingers cross that Man U's gonna kick Chelsea's butt!I believe they will... (i hope)!

David vs David

Who is gonna win? Archu or Cook?

Me loves both!!

So I have no idea who's side I'm on.

Blazing sun & Roaring waves

2008-05-19T17:05:00.004+08:00

I'm back from pangkor!! Totally had a blazing time there... very relaxing, all free and easy. My lil niece kept my time occupied =) At first i thought 5 days 4 nights are pretty long, but come to think of it... time pass by real fast. Everyday we're out in the afternoon to head off to town to do some ikan bilis shopping. We went to town so often that the shop owners there could recognised us LOL... I've been to a number of beaches in Malaysia and never have I seen such BIG waves in Malaysia before... the waves there are really huge... trust me! Maybe is because of the Cyclon Nargis. It's so huge that I could do body boarding. Of course is not as fun as I've did in Australia... but to do body boarding here in Malaysia is pretty cool! The scariest part is that I'm always alone in the sea... so it's pretty scary at times. With the waves so BIG... I could go missing and no one would actually notice : ) Ahh, I'm missing the sounds of the waves!! So relaxing... Anyways, let the gallery begin. I've just uploaded a few pics (lazy lahh... hehe), enjoy!
Isn't it beautiful? This is the view from my room

Look and the sunset, sea and pool... so awesome!!

Look at the waves... I told ya is HUGE!

can you see me body boarding?

I stayed in one of the room behind the pool... we got upgraded!! ; )
isn't she adorable? I know... she's crying. But the reason was because the sand was too heavy on her feet that she can't get up haha...

aww... just look at the pretty flower girl!!

shouting for joy!

2008-05-11T12:58:00.012+08:00

I'm shouting, dancing and cheering since exams are finally over!!

Finish watching a series already since my holidays started. My hols started on friday hehe... Buuutttt.... it's only a week of hols!!! ONLY A WEEK! But I'll be most definitely enjoying! ; ) Will leaving tomorrow for a 5D4N stay in pangkor with my aunts and niece!! Pangkor, I'm coming!!
I'll be doing lots of holiday-ing the coming few weeks! hehe... :p will be going to Vietnam then back to Penang.

Ok peeps, i better get going. Gotta continue packing my bag if not my aunt would leave without me. I bet she's reading this right now anyways lol =D

fighting the battle

2008-05-03T17:01:00.003+08:00

Gosh, this week has been like months for me. It's going by so slow!

Yup, fighting the battle right now- exams. I can't wait for the hols to come by, there's like so many things that I wanna do. Duh, of course series, series and series again! =D Oh, and I want to go on a holiday!!! It's been awhile since I've gone somewhere... rewind... my last holiday... REDANG! Oh, I loved it!

Thank God during this long week, i still have kiddies party to keep my mind off for awhile. It's been so long since I've attended a party in McD. Wait a minute, it had been 11 years!!! OMG!!

~aunty and niece cutting their own cake together, how ironic!~

birthday girl and me! =)

vin, we're waiting! =)

GIVING is the key of RECEIVING

2008-04-13T20:35:00.007+08:00
Out there who are american idol fans... you should know that michael john is out. The result is shocking yet not shocking in a way. He's never been in bottom three before and suddenly... out he goes. I'm not really his big fan, but i like him. To be honest, i like most of the top 7 finalist. hehe... I think this season has really been a great season! Totally love it! =)

It has been an emotional american idol week for me haha... cause of idol gives back charity program. All the videos taken really pierce through my heart. Often times we complain and grumble although there's a roof on top of our heads, comfortable bed for us to sleep throughout the night, delicious food that is served before us every single meal. Yet, after having all this, we still take for granted many things in our lives and count the disasters happening instead of the blessings in life.

The videos really made me realise the blessings in life. One of the video showed one family, their parents died of AIDS and the eldest brother among the siblings has to take up the responsibility of being a parent to his siblings. And he's just freaking 15 years old. I can't imagine myself taking care of 4 siblings when I'm 15 years old. Another video showed a son have lost his mother and have a father that is blind. This boy should be around 4-5 years old. He has to follow his blind father around the streets to beg for money for their living expenses. And another video showed a very run-down house and they have to lay a mattress on a floor to sleep during the night. Imagine, 3 siblings sharing ONE mattress which is the size of a single bed. Mind you, the mattress is really thin. Not the kind of thick mattress we get to enjoy. It really brings tears to me.

How can ever people live this way? Yet, they are easily satisfied as long as they have enough money to survive through the days. Their only prayer daily is to keep them safe from sickness like malaria & AIDS. We, living in such a luxurious life, our prayer list for the wants in life is getting longer and longer each day, never once are we satisfied with what we have. It really has helped me to appreciate what I have and be grateful at all times.

I always believe that giving is the key of receiving. And really thank god for the 60millions that have been donated for the idol gives back charity program. You reap what you sow.

Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly,
and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
-2 Cor 9:6-

random-ness

lesson learnt: never try asking a girl to share what she LOVES =)

How Great is Our GOD!!!!

2008-04-04T23:25:00.002+08:00
I'm back from cell!! And stress-free hahaha... =D

All I can say is a BIG WOW!!! It was an amazing and awesome presence of the Lord. We worshipped and prayed for a whole 2 hours. The flow of the Holy Spirit was with us, renewed us with a fresh anointing. I feel so alive right now after prayer. We would have gone on and on if time wasn't running out. Mun Siong and I were really blurr at the beginning and didn’t know how to flow on. But eventually is not about us, it's all about God. And He led us songs after songs, prayer after prayer. Really wanna thank God for his guidance for tonight, it wouldn't be possible without the Spirit of God.

Thank You, Jesus!!!

havoced weeks

2008-04-04T14:34:00.006+08:00
It's been a long time since I've updated here. The past few weeks have been great and fun. The good friday play was awesomely awesome of course! =) Travelled to Malacca after the play and had a pretty grave-ful day the next day, where we went to 10 graves. LOL... but it all paid off since we ate nyo-nya laksa, nasi lemak, mee siam, popiah, pai tee and satay babi for lunch. =D Ahh... how I miss Malacca man!! We ate chichken rice balls as well and discovered peanut soup in jonker street. Thanks to sue =) The most regretful was that I didn't had my favourite SATAY CELUP!!!!!!!!!!!! Eeesshhh!! But my dad brought me to an interesting place to eat mee rebus and rojak. The shop is open by the road side, just beside graveyards. I meant it literally. From where I was sitting, the tomb stone is just behind me. Hahaha.. =D Amazingly, I would say the food there are pretty good!

Last week was pretty cool. My college had sports day and it's been a long time since I participated in one. Throughout all my years in high school, I've always been the "cheerleader" and not once a sportsman. Now, my time has come =) I wouldn't call it a sports day actually, it's more like a team-building game. All in all, it was pretty fun. Except for some people, should just keep a low profile when they cheat to call themselves a champion. Lol

And here comes this week. It didn't started out good since I scratched my dad's car and gotta find a way explaining to him when he comes back from Singapore. Tonight, comes the stressful part. Mun Siong and I gotta lead cell in praise worship and prayer session tonight. Stress stress!! We both prayed for tonight's theme. And when we discussed, our theme were the same! God has really spoken to us both! Hallelujah! And the theme for tonight: Return to your first love. A year back I was a cell leader, so practically this shouldn't be a problem for me. Apparently not. I'm feeling stress and nervous at the same time. I've been preparing and praying like never before. Mind you it's not easy to lead cell. A lot of courage needed and being sensitive to God's spirit. I really pray that tonight's worship will flow and it would be a great encounter with God once again. Revival starts with us and it starts within our hearts.

Broken

2008-03-17T23:54:00.008+08:00

hello everybody!!
Nothing to do this weekend? Wanna have a date with me? hehe... =) Join me on Good Friday as my church will be having a special Easter Drama. I bet you will enjoy it!! Its a contemporary and an originally written Easter Drama entitled broken. Here's a run down on what its all about .....

Synopsis:
When Eddie's perfect world starts to shatter around him, he desperately agrees to a risky business deal. In an intense cross-fire, lives are jeopardised and he is now left with one final decision that will decide his eternity…When all is broken, is there hope?broken is an originally written drama set in contemporary times where survival depends on the success rate of taking risks - business deals pulling through, investments earning returns with a quick turnaround, being at the right place at the right time. Chance? No. It all boils down to the one thing that makes or breaks you....

Decisions.
In broken, we find a family man striving for a better life for his loved ones. After many years, Eddie's plans finally come to fruition, only for him to be confronted with this....In that one poignant moment, a decision is made that alters his life and the lives of others. Broken seeks to approach and give meaning to the decisions that we make daily. Perhaps to challenge a change of perspective of how trivial but significant these decisions are or can be, especially when they concern your life. Scriptwriter Stevie Heong says it aptly, "....what we decide today determines where we go tomorrow.... ."

Join me as we find out what happens to Eddie this Easter at GTPJ. Broken opens on Good Friday and will run for two consecutive days, March 21st @ 8.30pm & March 22nd @ 5.00pm at GTPJ.

rumours that kills dreams

2008-03-14T12:22:00.005+08:00
rumours can definitely affect one person's dreams and future. Who cares if he WAS a stripper in a gay club? Maybe he had to do it under some circumstances... I'm not supporting gays here. Totally against homosexuality. BUT the thing is, he can SING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Isn't that what American Idol is all about?? Singing competition... ok fine, maybe he is not a ideal idol to the young ones, but so far there are no proof to the rumours. If it wasn't for the rumours, 110% he won't be the one that had been voted out. Yes, i did cry when i heard he got voted off. Vin, i know you're laughing your ass off right now =D Hez just so good!!

P/s: Just to clarify one thing, Uncle Edward isn't my blood related uncle. Lol

vote for a change, the change has begun!

2008-03-13T12:01:00.007+08:00
After staying up late night on Saturday to get the latest news and results updates... I'm totally thrilled!! People have finally opened their eyes wide enough to realise that we need to vote for a change, vote for opposition. Lol... =D I'm not into political stuff but I am sure that this is a great and exciting beginning of a journey. The oppositions better prove themselves before they get booted out during the next elections. First of all, I wanna congratulate my dearest Uncle Edward who represented as a DAP candidate for Jln Gasing and had won!!! Woohoo!! =D He actually won by 8,000 over votes!

Secondly, we must always say goodbye and farewell to the minister, Dr. S, that has 'contributed so much' to the community. =)

oh, thank god for this week! I've been waiting for this week to come, so that i can kiss my theory exam and assignments goodbye and say hello to my korean series. =)

M3 loves...

2008-03-03T00:47:00.003+08:00
The american idol search continues on and I do have my favourites ; ) Yes, favourite with a S. David Archuleta and David Hernandez!!! They both are super awesome! Davids rocks..!! David Cook rocks too... but nah, not in my favourite list =)Check them out babes!

CNY 08'

2008-02-17T22:57:00.005+08:00

Back to blogging business =) Events after events ever since after going back to penang, so didn't had time to update my bloggy. Although I couldn't celebrate my chinese new year in Malacca but thank God for Penang! I traveled up to Butterworth one day earlier than my family by bus to catch up with some good food with my 'makan king' uncle!!!! =D He's the best uncle to look for when it comes to FOOD! Ate chee cheong fun, char tao kuey, 2 bowls of kuey teow teng, asam laksa, curry mee, cheam cheam, mee goreng and mee rebus! It all tasted so good, esp my favourite air hitam asam laksa!!! I likesss..!

Here comes the first day of chinese new year. I was prepared to wear my red top which was bought just for the sake of the 1st day of new year. Mana tau, my mum came up, telling us not to wear red today. Why? Because the newspaper says so. Saying is not good to wear red for the first day of CNY. Sheesh, can they not be so superstitious. So let the pictures speak what I did during CNY...
Wishing my parents... Pangjang-panjang umur, untung-untung!

In 15minutes, the 10 hungry pigs ate up 3kg of FRESH prawns! Super yummy!!

is the 19 year old style of posing =D I WON!! :p

3 days after coming back from Penang, I went back up again for "Ti Kong Se'. Everyone don't seem to believe that I celebrate "Ti Kong Se" since I'm a Christian. Who says Christian can't celebrate? I celebrate by eating!!! hahaha.... my favourite mee shua and PIGGGG =D So let me give you guys a tour on how Hokkiens celebrate this festival. I don't really have an idea on why this day is celebrated. I think is to celebrate "Tian Gong" birthday.

this is their belief in burning the so called "heaven's money"

here comes my favourite part... PORK!!

I bet you guys haven't seen... pig's butt! =p Open ceremony... I ate the first butt meat hehehe... =)Spent the whole night eating the PIGGGG... tell me, how not to put on weight!!! But who cares, eat first, think later haha =D

Before the Chinese New Year ends, my family decided to be models and pose at our own made cny tree... nice, nice? =)

che, we miss YOU being around too!! Especially when I was watching cny HK movies and entertaining live show in Penang, makes me realise how much I misses you tehee.. =) At least there's someone to laugh with me (besides ting), unlike tak che, the stoner! no offence haha =D

the festive season

2008-02-04T02:34:00.000+08:00

Chinese New Year has always been one of my favourite festive season of the year. Despite of having a new collection of wordrobes and collecting many many ang pows, one of the most exciting part of Chinese New Year is that I get to travel to my parents' hometown, Malacca and Penang.

But not for this year and the coming years anymore. I won't be going back to malacca celebrating CNY there since the house has been sold and officially is not the LIM's property anymore. CNY without malacca doesn't feel right somehow. I've been spending my last 18years celebrating CNY in Malacca and asking me not to think about malacca during CNY is just impossible.

I can barely hold my tears any longer as I reflect back to the happiness and memorable times I had in Malacca. The food!! Ketupat on the 1st day of CNY with mama's udang sambal... Yummy!! and all the others nyo-nya food and kuihs. The best part is everyone sitting at the small table chatting away and enjoying the food. The gambling session a.k.a math tuition playing poker, black jack, chor dai di and of course the newly invented, take two =D The late night supper in satay celup that we will never get sick/ tired of. And of course not to forget, the cousins' favourite place of all... JETTY!! No more relaxing on the jetty lying down and enjoying the view of the fireworks/ stars/ sunrise and even sunset.

satay celup during midnight!

the jetty...

relaxing and enjoying....
the sunset!!!
and also camwhoring! =)
So this year I'll be spending my whole new year in Penang. Since my family won't be around for the reunion dinner, here comes our family reunion before CNY. But what is CNY family reunion when everyone starts leaving at 10plus. I don't even feel the mood of CNY. It's funny. When I was decorating my house for chinese new year and making all the chinese new year cookies, I so feel the CNY fever going around but the festive mood had died on me when we had the family gathering. It's not that I hate my family or they are a bunch of boring people, please don't get me wrong. I'm just saying family gathering in PJ and in malacca makes a HUGE difference.
Before I leaves for Penang in the morning, I just want to wish everyone Gong Xi Fa Cai. Wishing all a prosperous and a joyful and memorable year ahead! =)

the good old days

2008-01-14T12:22:00.000+08:00
The past few days, I've been reminiscence of the good old days I spent my time in school. No pressure, no stress or no need to make a decision that determines your life. It's all about living and having fun as each days passes by. Nothing to worry about... maybe.... exams? But now as I look back... exams is like snapping your finger. Easy job. No worries at all. How I miss the school days where you ponteng classes, not doing your homowork, happily chatting away with your bunch of friends while teacher is trying her best to teach... that's something I always miss =)

So I did some catching up with Zink staying over at her place for a whole lots of updates of each other. Lol... Really had great time having our girls' talk non-stop after dinner till 4.30am... :D the next day... popiah for lunch!! I had the privillege of having two rounds.... wahaha =D

Yesterday, went to One U and had karaoke session with long lost friends that heven't met for a real long time. My dearest sim tien, hsien wen, lala- kai ko, hak chai and laichee!!! I havent seen Tien and Wen since after we got our SPM result which was in March '07 (don't count the several times where i bump into tien. We seem to have quite a lot of fate... lol). Lala, hak chai and laichee... hadn't seen them easily almost 2 years. Really had great fun cacthing up with them. Gosh, the guys really damn Syok Sendiri during karaoke time. Totally... SS!! =D

There are just so many memories flashing through my mind right now. The days where Tien, Wen and me would sometimes ponteng perhimpunan and hide in lala, hai chai and laichee's class when they are having relief period. (just so you know, they are 5 yrs older than me) The times where we'll go out lunch with them, having the privillege of them driving us around and sending us back home =) Those are the moments. Time passes super duper extremely fast. Really miss you guys ALL!! =)

Friendships always remain no matter how long time passes. The question is, are you willing to keep that friendship? Don't worry about meeting up and not knowing what to talk about, because there's always small talks that keeps a friendship going. =)
My friends, I'll love you always!! :p

Youth Camp '07

2008-01-09T11:36:00.000+08:00
Pictures from youth camp! Get prepared with some disgusted pictures... lol =D

The third day we had some freetime so we went to the beach to chill out. It's Port Dickson, so nothing much you can expect. When I was in the water, I could feel the seaweeds clinging to my legs... really geli!! But we had fun sitting the banana boat! We all were trying our best NOT to make the banana boat topple over, so when the boat turn left we swing ourselves to the right and vice versa... but it still didn't work... lol =D We were thrown in the deep blue sea where it was really far from the shore and NO, our legs can't touch the ground. Climbing back up onto the banana boat was tiring. really enjoy it!

expect adam to come up with something like this... lol =D

me-sarah-wyn chi
love the sun set!!
camwhoring on the way back to the room.. hehe
my roomates!!! Totally nice bunch of ppl.... =)

2008-01-07T22:01:00.000+08:00

These few days, I have been pampered by ppl belanja-ing me makan =) All of it were my first time eating there! Friday, Roy belanja me eat seafood curry noodle. It was not bad, except that the serving was so big that I couldn't finish haha... =D

Then comes Saturday... Tony Roma's!!! So bless right, people belanja me Tony Roma's. Thank you Jesus that Jason achieved his sales target, that's why he belanja me and also cause of my achievement too! hehe... =) The food was nice... the onion rings was so-so only. I like the salad which takes up most of my stomach space and loves the ribs too!! We ate from 8.45pm till 11.45pm haha... yes, 3 hours. With BIG J's mouth talking non-stop, 3 hours considering short. mum had to call to 'chui' us back home lol...

Monday, Japanese food... Kampachi in Pavilion! Thanks Yu Khim!! The food there was really good! Heard from my sister that is one of the best Jap restaurant. I LOVE JAPANESE FOOD!

This is my lunch! I finish all k! The Tempura Set!
~Thanks all!~

the start of something new

2008-01-05T12:44:00.000+08:00
I don't really fancy having my quiet time alone reflecting about the past year. But like what David had lectured me, "a life without examining, is not worth living". So after finish watching my series... I sat down and started to rewind back to year 2007. As I reflect on my 2007 goals and resolutions, it was quite a success. Not that I achieved all, but more than half of it I've achieved last year. So it considers an acheivement! haha... =D I'm really giving up on putting NO LAST MINUTE WORK on my resolution list. It doesn't work... It just makes me breaking even more of my resolutions lol. On new years eve, as the cousins were sharing on the 3 most memorable events of the year. It just suddenly dawn upon me that it had really been a great year. Though there were much ups and downs but it had somehow or rather mould me to be a better me! =)

Man, year 2008... my last year of enjoying being called a teenager. Damn, I'm getting old... or rather, WE ALL are getting OLD lol... I still can remember the days of laughing at my darlings of being their last year of a teen, it's so fresh in my mind that it seems like yesterday. Now, my turn... trying to enjoy as mush as possible, calling myself a teenager before I start to say: "Hi, I'm I-Yin and I'm 20." Being 20 isn't that bad right... please someone tell me that! lolz... I believe that 2008 will be greater year! I Believe!! This year's theme... Year of Empowerment!

If any of you guys are stepping into the new year with doubts and uncertainties, be encouraged by this song.
Many things about tomorrrow,
I don't seem to understand.
But I know who holds tomorrow,
and I know who holds my hand.

Year of Empowerment!

the end and the beginning

2008-01-02T13:23:00.000+08:00

Has been quite awhile since I've updated my blog... there's just too much hapenning around that I'm lost for words. Youth camp was totally awesome blossom! =D How can you describe something that is indescribable? On the second night, God really did a mighty works in each an everyone's life. I went to camp with lots of doubts and questions. But after that night, all questions were answered and as Pastor Julie prayed for me... there's no more a single doubt in me. God assured me that His grace is sufficient for me and every little single step of faith that I take, HE IS WITH ME! First time in so long, I can sleep without any doubts and questions in me. God's presence was just amazing! It just dawn on me how much I miss it.

I've ended the the year with a BANG! Spending my last midnight of 2007 with my cousies... how sweet yea =) Been a long time since we last slept over and get high chatting away. Spent half of the night playing taboo, made us realise how well we know each other. Lol... try this.

Yin: 3 words. 1st word, another word for crazy.
Elaine: mad!
Yin: Yes!! animal that has tits....
Ting: er.. cow!
Elaine: Mad cow disease!!!
I know, all animals have tits. It just proves that we have the same thought in mind... lol =D The funnies of all....

Elaine: What does dave wanna do to Standard Charted?
Yin: ROB!!!

Bingo! i'm right! haha.... =D

I love Baileys!

Imagine walking up to the rooftop there and admiring the fireworks... there isn't anything that is blocking our view.... just amazing! I LOVE FIREWORKS!

2007-12-17T00:31:00.000+08:00
how can it be??? I must be dreaming!!! Of all people, Singapore won the title of Asian Idol. It can't be! No doubt that he's a total cutie and boyish good looking guy which is my kind of guy.. lol... but his voice is nothing compared to Jacklyn and Mau. I am not pleased with the result, not that cause jac didn't win.. but at least if it's not Jac then Philippino, Mau or Indonesian, Mike. They deserve to win more. Well, I do admit... I did vote for Hady Mirza (Singapore Idol). But it was only 3/4 times out of 20 times. Yes! I voted 20 times at least!!!!! Aihz... not in the mood to study anymore. But at least, Man U won against Liverpool which lightens me up a lil! =) Hope Arsenal lose... hehe =) sry, geline! :p

Asian Idol!!

2007-12-16T00:42:00.000+08:00

By the time you see this post and still in time to vote for jacklyn victor... please do so!! Let's crown the first Malaysian Idol to be the very FIRST ASIAN IDOL!!! your votes count, baby!! Just send an sms will do... RM0.50 won't kill you.. =) But the thing is you must vote two contestants... so, take your phone out and type MAL (space) INDO, VIET, PHIL, SIN, INDIA (either one) then send it to 33776. Done! You've voted! =) Considering she's having flu and cough... she sang damn well!!!

dilemma state

2007-12-07T00:23:00.000+08:00
I hate given the situation when I have to make a decision especially a major one where no one can decide for you. It didn't take me long to decide on the course that I wanna persue in since I was pretty sure and confident on what I wanna do in future. But of course to start in January or May intake was another story. And I hate given that 'power'. Just so you know, I'm a very indecisive person that sometimes irritates people.Lol... Eventually, my mum couldn't take that indecisiveness of me and helped me register for the January intake. Now, I'm contemplating on whether to resume working life or not. I know few months back I was complaining about tired I was, but this time I swear I'm just going to work half-day and they are so gonna take 'NO' for an answer if they ask me to work more than that. That is if I work... lol

I just can't think of an solution. I want to start working again is because I miss working life as in working with the children... they're just a fun bunch of 'monkeys'! =D I also gain experience while working and it's more hands-on for me. And also why not start now since I'll be having my practical in a year time.

But on the other hand, I'm afraid that I can't cope up with my studies especially with my assignments. For this sem, I had full concentration on my assignments and so far I did really good, at least I'm satisfied. =) And in March I'll be having my piano theory exam where my piano teacher will start bugging me now and then. Now that I'm not working but I still can't find the time to start studying when my exam is starting next week cause of assignments and maybe some distraction... hehe... can I survive then? But then again, I'll only be having 2days of classes during the weekdays for next sem.... AAHH!! I don't know!

God, please help me!! Any advice, ppl?

A night to remember

2007-12-03T01:58:00.001+08:00

After many years of receving wedding invitation which wrote "Lim & family" or "Ang & family"... Finally, I have my own wedding invitation card with my chinese name on it! No, my friend isn't 18years old if you're wondering. Totally excited about it since it's my first friend's wedding that I'm attending. Had class the whole Saturday but my lecturer was good enough to let us out an hour earlier which means we had an hour to get dressed up before heading towards the city jam. Went to my friend's place after class. This is my first time getting ready so fast, that I was done taking bath, dressing up and making up and waiting at the door in an hour. Amazing...!
~two flames unite and blend into one~

We're kinda like the happening table during dinner time. Talking, laughing like nobody business. The best part is the 'yam seng' part where we totally taruh the bride and groom. =)

Spot the bride!!

Wedding day is really a night to remember where no other beauty can be compared to you on that very day and is also a night that totally change your whole life in a good way (hopefully). =)

Amazing Race Asia

2007-11-30T00:22:00.000+08:00
Finally the Amazing Race Asia 2 is back! I pretty much like all the teams in this season, except maybe for the Hong Kong team, Ed and Monica. They're dating for 10yrs and fighting like there's no tomorrow... I don't see the love around... lol... =D Thank God they have been eliminated. ehehe... What I like about this season is that there's a hearing-impaired contestant and is the first in the Amazing Race history!! Cool huh... damn great determination! Malaysian team... So far so good... Suprisingly, the dancing-mums are good! Honestly, I didn't expect it... Bravo!! Malaysia, go out there and kick butts!! =)

wall + climbing = fun!

2007-11-29T14:03:00.000+08:00
Went for wall climbing with my aunt, cousin and sis at Camp5, One U. And I'm lovin' it!! =) was just awesomely fun, and I totally love the satisfaction of reaching to the top! It was quite high and challenging alright... I'm actually thinking of taking the 4hrs course and be a member of camp5. Wanna check out the one in Summit too. Anyone interested? I'll need a buddy to back me up... =) Zink, this is interesting!! up for it? hehe...

the unpredictable

Just a phone call, and it just dawn upon me... how unpredictable life can be?
Just as I was on my way back after having a nice dinner with my sisters then went ronda-ing in True Fitness, a phone call came... someone can just be gone in an instant. Life can just be so unpredictable and short. I was talking to Jason and telling him it was really sudden and that I didn't expect it at all. Guess what he replied, damn zha dou... but it's the fact. No one plan their death. It just happen, it's just your fate. True true. I believe that our story has already been written, if it's the time then it's time for you go. Life can be full of misery, but there's always a choice. You either look at a cup half full (+ve) or half empty (-ve). Your choice!

p/s: To you-know-who-you-are, I know life can be unpredictable at times, but there's nothing much you can do. But hang on there and press on! Let the sweet memories be the light that keeps you going. =)

It's been quite awhile since we had a Lim family gathering. TheLims had a sort of thing that we get together every now and then... I guess this thing had passed down to the younger generation as well. =) But for this time round was something different. Someone spices up our gathering... My darling niece Rachel!!! She's such an adorable baby. She totally brighten up my day, now that I have her picture on my phone screen, I'll just stare at it when someone get on my nerves =)

took some lala pose... Gosh, how can ppl actually pose like this!

A sleepover with my cousins was what I was waiting for the whole long time. The last time I saw my cousins was like 3months back (doesn't count the 5-10 mins meet up). Worst, the last sleepover was in July. Damn freaking long okay!! If you don't have cousins like this, gosh... you don't know what you're missing out! =D

You're missing out this!!! haha... The past few years, we had so much fun and silly times together that if we actually pen it down, we could actually compile it into a book... lol Guys, we should do this more often! Sleepovers, mamak sessions... fine by me! =) *Let's go swimming!*

The four walls room...

2007-11-15T10:23:00.000+08:00
You guys might be wondering, why the hell am I blogging in such an odd hour in the morning. I'm in my mum's office right now, relaxing a bit while she's in a meeting hehe =) Why the hell did I wake up 7am just to come to mum's office huh... cause my house is having a minor construction for a few days, when I'm happily having my thoughts flowing for my 'lovely' assignment... and there they start banging and drilling. How the hell am I going to concentrate and finish up my assignments? I want to get it all done, so I can enjoy for the weekend without having to worry about it at all. And here comes my sister's brilliant idea, here I am!! (Ting, don't brag about it.)

A big room all to myself, when I'm tired just relax and chill out on the sofas in my mum's air-con room, high-class lunch with my mum's friends (hopefully they call her out today!), online whenever I want ( I know, assignments first =)) and best of all no sound pollution.

But it gets kinda boring in here, since I'm talking only to the four walls, and expect no replies at all. =( But there's no good going back home either, they are changing the floor tiles in my tv room, which would take at least 2 days which means... NO TV!!!!!!!!! More like NO ASTRO!!! Gosh, that's how I relax after burying myself in my assignments, how am I going to relax now? 2 days only, it's easy for you to say when you're not a tv freak. =(

awaiting for the future =)

2007-11-13T23:09:00.000+08:00
It's just so totally great to know that there's actually something to look forward after all the long days of doing assignments after assignments. I'm just waiting for this Saturday and here comes the moment that I've been longing for. A moment like it makes me misses it even more. Okok, I'm sounding drama here... but it's seriuosly how I feel. =) Get ready for the PARTY!
* no sore eyes* ; )

Ho Chiak! =)

2007-11-12T11:56:00.000+08:00
sorry ppl, it's been a long time since I've updated. Just came back from Penang yesterday. Had a wonderful time of eating spree!! =) From 11am till 8pm plus non-stop... Yum Yum!! Kuey Teow Soup with duck meat, Cha Kuey Teow, Asam Laksa, Apom, Double Deep Fried Goreng Pisang and my favourite Chendol!! Went to the beach for picnic then later went to the waterfall. Came back to my grandparents place, my grandpa cooked for us our favourite steam chicken and ikan kembung! Was just yummy!! No one can beat my grandpa's cooking skills =)

Damn it, I wanted to take so many pictures.... But my dad brought a no-battery camera and didn't bring the charger to Penang lolz...

I've finally finish watching heroes season 1... i know, kinda out here. I wanna watch the second season, but assignments are really piling up and I can't afford to spend my time in front of the computer watching heroes and not doing assignments. Well, that's partly the reason... and also cause I don't have part 2 with me ; ) It's really a good series show! I always wonder what power will i choose if I have one to choose from... Let's see!

1. Time manipulation / Time travel / Teleportation
~ This is total coolness, so useful during exam time! whee!! :p
2. Cell regeneration/ Self-healing
~ I don't need to be scared of dying and hurting.
3. Technopathy (can manipulate technology with his mind)
~ this is darn cool as well. I can manipulate the ATM machine and get how much i want!!
4. Invisibility
~ I can spy!
5. Can Heal Others
~ I can be like Jesus then =)

Selamat Hari Raya!

2007-10-29T13:37:00.000+08:00
Went for my friend's Hari Raya open house yesterday. Up to you to trust me or not, but it was my first time going to MY OWN friend's Hari Raya open house. As a matter of fact, I don't really have much malay friends since i grew up in a total chinese school environment ever since 5 years old. Yes, starting from preschool. Sad huh... So yay, my first time! =) Gosh, my friend's cooking skill is so so good! She cooked it all by herself. Had real great fun!
Taking picture of me eating! how dare they!!

The shopping heaven- Singapore!

2007-10-19T18:36:00.000+08:00
Just came back from Singapore Thursday night.Was a good trip! You guys should know Singapore food sucks! But this time round was different, all meals were good and I ate really damn a lot. Thank God for shopping that helped me to burn out the food I consumed, at least I hope! =) The second and third day was really a shopping spree, went out in the morning and came back at night- non stop walking for 9hours excluding the meal times. No wonder my legs are hurting and I wasn't wearing shoe, as in I wore sandals. =)

It was a good trip but the whole main point of going to Singapore isn't shopping... is to visit my lil cousin as I promised her to go there when I'm on holiday. Never break a promise when you promise a kid because they really take it to heart. =) So yeah... had really much fun joking with her, playing with her and all!! Would have extend my stay if I didn't have college today. Aihs.... I know, one month of holidays passed real fast!!! Back to college life again =(

Yesterday morning, my lecturer called saying that the LAN Accreditation is coming to college to observe us. So she needs us to give a presentation during the tutorial class and I am being appointed as one of the group leader. The presentation will be on Tuesday and my lecturer also chose me to attend an interview with the LAN Accredition officers as well. Don't ask me why they want to interview, I don't have a clue about it. Even before class begin and the work load is piling. Sad case.... Anyways...

Pictures time! =)

~Ying and Yin in Vivo City~

~After dinner at Millenia Walk ~

~View at the Millenia Walk, totally mesmerizing~

~Check out my cousin's books... she's just std 3 and having way more books than me lol~

~A mini waterfall in Botanic Garden~

what are we pointing at?

~our birthdays next year!!~

Sshh.... Hairspray!

2007-10-14T23:43:00.000+08:00
Another sisterly outing today! Wish you were here, er che =( After having lunch in my sister's friends open house... We headed to One U for hairspray movie!!! My gosh, we couldn't book the movie so we went there early to buy but we only could buy the first row seats unless we wait for half an hour before the show starts to get the reserved seats. I was amazed that it was still in good respond. So we decided to try our luck. Thank God those people didn't turn up, whee! (bad me =]) If you are the musical kind of person, this is your show. I liked the show, it was really good! It's a simple story line but with lots of singing and dancing in it. The frustrating part was when the crowd just can't open their ears wide enough to catch the jokes. They only laugh to the freaking obvious funny parts rather than hearing the converstions and the lyrics of the songs. Only my sisters, me and the guy who was seating beside my sis who were laughing the whole way through. My ratings, 8/10!

Oh yeah, Selamat Hair Raya! haha... :D Last night, my lunch and dinner I had ketupat!!! Delicious! =) It makes me miss the times in Malacca during Chinese New Year where we eat ketupat. I know, weirdo here eating ketupat during CNY. But, I'm proud of it man! That's my yearly CNY tradition... hope it still goes on for the next year. =) Ok guys, gotta get my butt out of the chair and start packing my bag. Going to Singapore tomorrow!! See ya around peeps!

G4G- Grooving for God

2007-10-13T22:28:00.000+08:00
Grooving for God Conference has ended so fast. The workshop was totally awesome blossom! =) Now I understand the whole genre of different dance like house style, old school, krumping, locking style, electric boogaloo... I took the hip hop and old school dance classes. And both of my insrtuctors are totally cute and hot! My friend and I was adoring them like crazy :D When they start dancing, they are totally HOT! I signed up for the right dance class since both of my insrtuctors are so HOT hehe... =) The traits of my future boyfriend list is getting longer and longer... now I like guys who can dance haha :D

Just got back from the G4G night concert, it was really good!! Two thumbs up! This team which are from Philippines took the stage for the opening dance. They recently won a top wining Award & Championship for the Hip Hop Open and Solo Category for the Asia Pacific Dance Masters Competition 2007 in Malaysia. (My old school dance instructor was in it) =) After that most of the Urban Groove instructors perform the animated electric boogaloo and also battle of the B Boys. They were really 'chun'ted =) Really thank God that I didn't have to pay a single cent for this conference since my church sponsored us but in return we have to perform during service lol... It was really an eye opener for me.

Music Video : Tomorrow (From Korean Drama-Over the Rainbow)

2007-10-10T02:21:00.001+08:00

Translation:
Because the words “lets end it” was not said
Because the last step forward was not taken
It seems we have never have love
Though it feels like death everything
My heart does not rest even for one day
I never stop regretting even for one time
Can you see my tears
Can you hear my sigh
Though I swallow and swallow again, it overflows
When will you be turning to around to see this image of me
Tomorrow Tomorrow
Will my feelings be able to touch you
Those words I still haven’t said
Those words my heart wrote and sent out to you
That I love you and for you to come to me
Tomorrow Tomorrow
If only you could come to my side
It doesn’t matter if I shed tears of sorrow
It doesn’t matter if I sigh from continuous regret
I will only wait for you

You’ll turn around and look at me someday
You’ll acknowledge my love
If I want and want again it will happen
If not tomorrow then at least the day after tomorrow
Tomorrow Tomorrow
Will my feelings be able to touch you
Those words I still haven’t said
Those words my heart wrote and sent out to you
That I love you and for you to come to me
Tomorrow Tomorrow
If only you could come to my side
It doesn’t matter if I shed tears of sorrow
It doesn’t matter if I sigh from continuous regret
I will only wait for you
Even if it’s the tenth tomorrow
Also even if it’s the first tomorrow
Because I only love you

Is this a hidden gift in me?

2007-10-07T22:05:00.000+08:00
After days of practices the dance had finally come to pass. So I did mention we only finalized our steps on Monday and on Thursday (a day before the actual performance) we had some changes to it again. And why am I not surprise that I messed it up that steps on Friday. But after that few steps I get on par with others. Whee! =) After the performance we all did confess to each other that we all did fumble a few steps at one point or another. First of all, we didn't had enough of practice. Secondly, the band was either too nervous or excited that they played the song super duper fast which meant we had to dance super duper fast to keep up with them (dahlah the song is a fast and upbeat song). But who cares we did had fun up there!! =)

On Sat and Sun we had to perform as well. Sat I did pretty well didn't mess it up until the last part only. hehe... And on Sunday we were all perfect! =) Worst part was on Sunday we had to dance 3 songs back to back for both of the church services. I was preety satisfied with myself since I don't really have a dancing background while the others were experienced dancers. Unless the dancing class that attend during primary school just so that I could keep long hair which I quit eventually and during standard six where I danced 'para-para sakura' for our year end party... If all these counts, then yes I'm an experienced dancer too! lol...

Next week I'll be going for a dance workshop and I'm actually excited about it. I should actually think about going for dance class, anyone interested in joining me?

Worthy Worship Night...

2007-10-03T18:27:00.000+08:00
Tomorrow will be my last practice before i get my butt on stage :D Nervous nervous!! We just finalized the dance steps on Monday, that's how last minute we are. hehe... Totally nervous about it! I just hope I don't fumble on stage and forget my steps... *keep fingers cross* =) Time just goes by so fast, from a month of holidays and now I still left 17 more days and I'm back to college life again. =( I just love it now! I can watch tv whenever i want, sleep and wake up late and my parents wouldn't nag me about it, hanging out and so on... holidays are always nice :D Just can't wait for my trip to Singapore! Did i say SHOPPING? ; )

The future "voice"

2007-09-26T23:25:00.000+08:00
Today I got out of bed freaking early at 7.15 am (mind you i'm on hols now) cause I have a voice testing in Cyberjaya. It's like a CD recording for children where you teach verbally, tell stories, or even sing songs. So I went there for testing to check out whether my voice suit any of their category that they need. It was kinda cool, you get to put on the head phone and listen, also they tried adjusting my voice to a man, bear, duck, small kid and all kinds of voices. So cool....!! that's what technology can do nowadays. For 1 1/2 hours, I was talking/ singing for non-stop. Man, i felt really tired and thirsty. I can't understand how JJ and Rudy can be so good at it lol... :D In future when you flip the back of the CD.... producer-XXX, writer- XXX, song writer- XXX and voice- Lim I-Yin, cool huh!! That is if I get selected... haha :D Keep fingers cross!

the holidays...

2007-09-25T11:19:00.000+08:00
Finally my holidays has begun!! I started my hols with a crying session of a Japanese series "One Litre of Tears" lol... I wanted to watch it since last year, finally I had the chance to watch it since zyang bought me the dvd. thanks! =) The show it's really sad... imagine, i used more than a roll of tissues, that's how sad it is. lol... i know you'll be thinking i'll be super free the whole hols, you're wrong! haha.... i've got tons and tons of things to do which includes shopping!! ; ) and my church will be having a Worthy Worship night on Oct 5th, wanna join us? At least come and support me, i'll be in the dance team! hehe... =) See ya!

Life starts at 55, do you agree?

2007-09-17T11:36:00.001+08:00

If you don't agree... check this out! For my dad's life totally starts at 55. For don't know how many years, we've all been persuading him- from his mother-in-law, brother-in-laws, nephew & nieces, his daughters and finally his only wife. After years and years of persuasion, he finally gave in and decided that life do starts at 55! So from the 'grey' hair...

He decided to dye his hair to something really different, something out of the norms for him... so he dyed to... black? red?

or

2007-09-16T22:10:00.000+08:00
My finals are here. I'm done with 3 papers and another 2 more to go. Can't wait for it to end.. and I'll be having a month of holidays!! so fun.. =) my days are booked for penang, singapore trip, rehersals and plans with cousins. Yay, can't wait!!

Oh, I've got back my piano exam results... and I actually passed!!! OMG, this is just unbelievable. After all the effort that I've contributed and I pass is really great news. Praise the Lord!! Total satisfied about it. =)

Leaving the Past

2007-09-15T01:20:00.000+08:00
14th of September 2007 had finally arrived. A day which I wish it would never arrive. I would do anything to skip this day. But no, time don’t jump forward or move backwards… it just moves on gradually at the own pace. At times, you just hope that time would pause and never move on, yet at times we hope that time would just rush by like a bullet train.

And right now, I hope that time would just bring me back to the good old days. A house filled with sweet, joyful memories had been left empty and “stolen” away from a stranger. Nothing can change this fact that once gone, you can’t take it back. Once taken away, they will never return back. Times and times we’ve expressed our thoughts and feelings but no one seems to care.

Well, my grandpa and grandma had passed away, so the house was inherited by my aunt. After 3 years of leaving the house there unattended, they decided to hang the “For Sale” sign on the gate. For the past 3 years without kong-kong and mama, we will just go down the most 3-4 times a year- Chinese New Year, Cheng Beng, kong-kong and mama death anniversary. I understand that is money consuming and time consuming to maintain the house.

But I can barely hold my emotions together. The house contains memories that can’t be erased. Chinese New Year without "the house" somehow feels different. For my whole life, I've spent the days of CNY in that house where early morning all the grandchildren kneel down before our grandparents and bless them, "panjang-panjang umur, untung-untung" before getting our ang pow. Malacca will never be the same again. We won’t be going back there as often anymore since another aunt of mine will be shifting up to KL. The jetty that we would walk there as early as 5.30am… sunrise and sunset will be missed, enjoying stars and fireworks at the jetty will be gone. Oh, Malacca. You’re always be in my heart.

Happy 55th Birthday, Daddy!!

2007-09-11T01:06:00.000+08:00

Happy 55th Birthday & Happy Retirement!!

Last Thursday, my dad had just celebrated his 55th birthday and he had officially retired. lolz... my dad retired? Man, sounds so old... and we're all getting older too. Scary... =o Well, so the daughters bought him a really cute card, check it out! ; )

and when you open it...

haha... so cute right? Well, my dad does sometimes utter these 3 wise words :D Unfortunately, my dad being my dad... BLURR. He didn't get it at all!!! Urgh, I felt like killing myself at that point of time. He was wondering... "huh, why ask his own mother?" A week ago, there's a comic in The Star proving that when you turn old you just can't get jokes, and it is just so true! lol...
He bought himself a birthday present as well... A Home Theatre System!!! So cool right... now I'll spend even more time in front of the tv. Don't know whether is it a present for me or for himself haha :D But who cares, at least i get the benefit as well ; ) And on sunday, we organized a surprise party for him since he's down in Malacca. Well, he kinda suspected it somehow or another, but he thought was just within the immediate family, he didn't expect the whole bunch of Lim and Ung Family to come over to surprise him... lol.. so in a way was a successful one.

don't mess with my grandma... she's drinking Champagné! =)
