Tim Mcgraw - Taylor Swift

I remember a question Serene asked me few days ago. a very random question. a question that made me to think for hours. a question that has a very very very long answer.

How's your 2007?

my first reaction was 'er......' I didn't know what to say. my mind was empty. how was my 2007? well, I know there is an answer for it. a pretty long one indeed. actually, 2007 was a good year. a very good one.

The year when I started trying many new things. cheerleading, yoga, badminton, basketball, OBML, China trip, and so on. everything was a blast. fullfilled my time. made lots and lots of friends (OBML peeps!). throughout all these, I've been to many places, met many different people, experienced the unexpected, seen many things with my own eyes, learnt many lessons from it. even if it took up some money.

the year when I changed to become more mature than before. I was a childish girl. this year has converted me into a not-so-childish lady, if you get what I'm trying to say. I used to hate people who backstabbed me. I took revenge on them, seriously. that was the past, of course. now, I feel like we could all be friends again and live happily ever after =) I learn to forgive and accept. what you see in people is what you see in yourself. agree?

The year when I let go of the person who I've been thinking of for 5 freaking years. yea, finally, all of a sudden, out of the blue, I let go of him. that was when I was in OBML. not that I've found someone better. when I was in OBML, I sat by the sea, staring at the endless sky, I thought of him. I realised that I didn't like him at the first place, I loved him. It's been 5 years and yet he still lied deep in my heart. why? the feeling of love, of course. but now, it's over, for real. I couldn't explain this sudden feeling. I just felt this way and I'm sure this is how I feel now. still, the memories we had together will never fade away - I loved him =)

The year when I became the big boss. I was really shocked that I got choosen to be the chairperson of st. john of DJ Div. I was only form 3. it's really hard for me. and I had to deal with so many troubles from the previous bod. worse comes to worst, the spirit is going down. my seniors are all leaving and left me and my other 6 bod members. all still young and ignorant. not just dealing with school and also the area. I thought of giving up, but then I decided to make the impossible possible like what Tan Bee Bee did. She's an awesome woman, for real! the school wanted to burbarkan st. john 20 years ago (cause they think st. john is a christian society and they wanted to bring up pbsm), Tan Bee Bee stopped it from happening. thanks to her. if she could do it, why can't I? It might take up one or two year or even more. Impossible is nothing - Adidas!

The year when I first realised that how much I love my family. to be honest, my friends always come first before my family. but then something happened this year, made a 180 degree change.

and also the year when everything in my life fell apart.

-

Basically, 2007 was a better year compared to the past two years. even if it's all of ups and downs. 2007 is quite a special year to me. I enjoyed it. I loved it. I missed it. looking at the future...... 2008 is coming. Welcome to my life.

Winter in America - Doug Ashdown

It was about 2.00 a.m.
I was writing my annual report halfway and got interrupted by a message from Zhen Ming

The moon tonight is very round and bright. Go take a glance =)

and I did.

Looking out of the window from my room, trying to search for the moon. couldn't see anything but dark clouds and grey-ish sky. So, I went out of my house. sat on the grass. feeding mosquitoes. looking high up at the moon.

breathtaking.

it looked like the sky had an white hole. it looked like the sun. it looked like a lamp was hanging in the middle of the atmosphere. it looked like a huge fishball. it is somehow indescribable.

Random fact - make a wish when you see meteors, and it would all come true

Zhen Ming & Wen Yee's fact - make a wish when you see the round and bright moon, and the whole wide world would live happily ever after

Graduation - Vitamin C

That night was a blast, seriously. seeing everyone again after two weeks. well, not exactly everyone, but thirteen of them showed up.

It felt like I was still in OBML, seeing everyone in front of me, talking and laughing altogether. it felt like we were all still there. it felt like we never leave that place at all. it felt like everything was back to normal. it felt like this could last forever.

-

these feelings just weren't right.

I've gone home and carrried on with my ordinary life. I've been pronounced as an ex-bounder. I left that place and waved everyone goodbye. ten days of camp was already over two weeks ago. and yet I'm still feeling the eager and passion of being there once again.

will our jokes still be funny after years? will we still laugh at the lame jokes we used to be so excited about? will these memories fade away when we step on different paths?

I keep thinking it's not goodbye, it's time to fly. fly to our own dreams, our own destinations, our own future. and that is how it feels. but I'm sure we will all meet up one day.

OYP/ACC 8 peeps, I'll be missing you.

as we go on, we remember

all the time we had together

as our lives change, come whatever

we will still be friends forever

Snowflakes are beautiful

Snowflakes are beautiful
don't you think so?

Suddenly this idea just caught in my mind
so I've decided to make something about it
Plus and minus, I took one day to get this whole thing done
It wasn't that hard actually
Just a bit of creativity and most importantly, patience...

It looks more like a flower

I made this myself kay =)

A bit of metallic shreds...

A bit of glitters...

A bit of christmas decor...

And Puffffff!

the Powerpuff Girls!

Not!

Snowflakes =)

nice?

What time is it?

It's christmas time =)

I got tagged by Phui Yan and Mei Wei

8 random facts of me

1. I have natural curls

Well actually I thought of going for rebonding, but the next moment I feel like it's my nature, why change it? And this is just me, live with it! Straightened hair looks kind of fake though...

2. I miss OBML like crazy

I know I've said it many times, but I still gotta repeat it. Beremban-ians, Tahan-ians, UluSepat-ians, YongYap-ians, all CAs, all instructors..... I fcuking miss everyone! You guys rock my life =)

3. I can't wait for school

School is fun actually. I sooo wanna go back to school life and get all busy again. Yes, I like to be busy, seriously. I feel so lifeless during holidays =(

4. I claimed myself as a free thinker even if my whole family are buddhists

Not to offend anyone, but I believe in myself.

5. Singing has became a hobby of mine

Thanks to Phui Yan! We sang throughout the camp. Another summer day, has come and gone away, in Paris or Rome, I wanna go home~~~

6. I don't cry in front of people

It's hard or merely impossible to see me cry. I'd rather lock myself in my room and cry for hours. I don't want anyone to see my tears. But Kah Yee seen it, cause that time I really couldn't control myself in school cause of some people.

7. When I don't talk, doesn't mean I'm quiet or cool, it means I have something in my mind

Many people say that I should talk more and don't be so cold. Even if I'm quiet, countless things are running in my mind, seriously. I think a lot.

8. I like purple

Not because I'm in Unggul or anything. I just like this colour for no reason. Simply because I love purple. =)

Okay, I'm done.

Get well soon grandpa!

I browsed through all the photo albums I have in the cupboard. I can't find a single picture with you since I was 9 years old. It's sad, really sad. All the old pictures I took with you last time, I was the innocent little girl and you're the oh-so-cool fella. You who taught me how to speak Hakka since young.

Everytime I hand you my school report book, you put on your old-looking spectacles and read it carefully for 30 minutes. . . . . . . slowly walking towards your room. 'Mmm, very good.' you say it with a big smile on your face. I smile back with a RM 50 note in my hand. This is the moment when I know that everything I've done is a success.

3.30 a.m. I was downstair doing my revision for my blardy exams. Your room door opened silently. I turned back and looked at you not saying anything. Silence for 5 seconds. You called me to go upstairs and sleep. I didn't listen and continue with my revision. The door closed. I realised that the lights in your room didn't go off til early morning. You didn't sleep knowing I was staying up the night. I felt your company even if you were in your room and I was at the dining table. Your presence broke through the concrete wall. Thank you.

You are getting skinnier day by day in the hospital. You went there the second day I was in OBML. The whole time I was having hell lots of fun at OBML, and there you are suffering in pain and pressure. And you told my parents not to tell me until my camp ended. I burst into tears on the way to hospital cause of you and post camp depression. U1234, your ward number. Looking at the skinny and bony and weak you, as if my heart has broken into pieces. You hardly eat anything grandma cooked for you, just one or two bites.

Heading to hospital two rounds a day has became a daily routine to me. Seeing you gasping for air makes me cry. Looking at your chest, I can see your ribcage; looking at your legs, it's nothing else but bones. And you refuse to eat anything.

What can I do to ease your pain?

I miss the sound of you unlocking the doors every single morning
I miss watching you watering the plants in the garden
I miss you nagging me everytime I stay up late
I miss you arguing with grandma about everything
I miss you scolding the kids when they left the TV on
I miss the peanuts that you used to cook
I miss reading newspaper with you in the living room
I miss the noise of your radio every night
I miss you saying that I'm too dark for a girl
I miss you nagging me to eat rice
I miss your Hakka mee =)
I miss you fixing my alarm clock whenever it's not working

Get well soon!
I'm waiting for you to come home for Christmas!

By the way, I miss OBML and friends like crazy.......
I'm so going back there =)

I got the OB spirit!

It's 5.30 a.m. I could feel someone tapping my shoulder and whispering 'eh wen yee, wake up la.' That familiar voice, that princessy voice, yea that's her Phui Yan a.k.a luggage girl a.k.a princess. She woke up this early just to have a morning shower and she's an alarm clock to all the Ledang dorm girls. Then I would be like a monkey climbing down from the double decker bed and Mei Wei would say 'you ah.....really climb like a monkey!' Lizards dropping down from the ceiling on the upper bed.....yuck!

In the dining hall for breakfast, logistic manager would unlock the cupboard and take out all the trays and cups. After moment of silence, we ate like we've never eaten for ages. After that, all of us would wash our trays and cups with some non-soap-like kind of soap. Everything was still oily no matter how much soap you used to wash it.

Almost every night, royal square was the place where the instructors to brief about our expiditions. After that, we would go to our own store room to get our tentsheet, backpack, mes tin, cups, mosquito coil, jerry cans, galen bottles, cooking utensils and so on for next day's expidition.

Open ceremony, rope climbing, pauline's shoulderstand, jungle trekking for 8 hours, mosquito repellent, overcooked rice, cabbage mushroom egg soup, toilet at 360 degree, political talk with the guys, camp fire, Tom's singing, rock climbing, emo-ing at the beach with Joshua, sunblock, swimming in the sea, capsizing in the middle of the ocean, kayak to pangkor island, rappeling, burgers, eating milo powder, solo camping, monkeys stealing food, washing our bags and tentsheets, cultural visit to pangkor island, ice-cream delights, community service, BBQ night, camwhoring with friends, group pictures, midnight emo-ing with Mei Wei and Phui Yan at the balcony, packing, closing ceremony, tissue moments, farewell singaporeans......

Bye singaporeans!

I miss you guys soo much!

Free Hugs Campaign

I was on YouTube just now and came acroos this awesome video about Free Hugs Campaign inspired by Juan Mann. I'm sure many of you have heard of it before. He's an awesome man!

All you gotta do is to reach out and hug a stranger, simple as that.

Well, this campaign has been spread to the whole wide world, even in Malaysia. But it's still not an encouraging act in Malaysia, simply because the people here aren't that open-minded and also the Malays tak boleh sentuh-sentuh atau raba-raba and so on. You'd probably get arrested for sexual harassment -__-

In this age, when we lack social connection, the most effective way to revive that connection with people is by giving free hugs! Don't ask what others can do for you, ask what you can do for others =)

Juan Mann's video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr3x_RRJdd4&eurl=http://www.freehugscampaign.org/

Even if it's just one simple hug, it makes a huge difference to other's lives.
So don't hold back

put on your greatest smile

spread your arms

and give everyone a hug =)
