I thought it was, and will always be just a dream.
But my parents made it come true. Both dad and mum, they made it come true for me. Again.
I'm a very happy girl today! :)
A little something worth reading :
some home truths that Bill Gates reputedly threw at a bunch of American youths.
Rule 1Life is not fair - get used to it !
Rule 2The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3You will not make US$60,000 (RM219,000) a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
Rule 5Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger-flipping: they called it opportunity.
Rule 6If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault. So don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got what way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes, and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were.
Rule 8Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades, and they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to anything in real life.
Rule 9Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off, and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10Television is not real life. In real life, people actually have to leave the coffeeshop and go to jobs.
Rule 11Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
I personally liked Rule 5 and Rule 7 best :)
On the other hand,
there are still some out there who don't quite understand what "sub-prime" really means. You should really read
the story of Mr. Suck Plime then.
Have a happy weekend ! :)
I'm loving my new timetable for the new semester, which starts next week!
Another new semester, another step closer to graduating :)
Till then, am gonna enjoy my remaining days back home!
I found this song.
It brought me tears. And its almost as though the song was specially written just for me, and only me.
This i must say.
I'm in love with..
"Max Brenner Chocolate by the Bald Man"
I'm just assuming that the founder's name is Max Brenner, he got to be a man. And he is bald.
go on, tell me you're drooling already
I walked along Orchard Road.
Smilled at two policeman.
Lost my way a couple of times.
Did some major shopping, sales is on! :)
Some random people decided to give me a balloon, which i eventually got tired of it and watched it go up up and away into the sky! So pretty.
Mistook a guy for wanting my details when all he was trying to give me a discount card. Sorry!
Bought a dress from Zara, where the cashier charged me even lesser than the price stated. Made my day :)
I love all the ice-cream vendors along Orchard Road ! They're all so old-school, and i love the feeling i get after buying from them. Somehow magically there's just this great sense of satisfaction :)
And this time, i took notice of the people around me.
The smilling man pushing the stroller, carrying a huge knapsack. The lady with a big white hat. The three girls walking hands-in-hands, giggling away. The coughing old man sitting on the bench. The mother running after her son, who has ice-cream all over his face. The girl dressed in red from her dress, to the bag and heels. The old man happily juggling three balls along the pavement. The blind man playing his portable keyboard on a wheelchair.
So i did quite a lot of thinking. And i am much more certain of what i really want for my own future.
Quite an eventful day for me i must say. I hope yours was too...in a good way like mine of course! :)
All because we supa-dupa don't like to make use of our camera flash.Just a simple night out with Seekay and Vonnie.
Seekay, since primary one & Vonnie, since primary three
Im just wondering,
if how many of you actually looked up into the sky today, and saw this too.
So pretty. Hello day! :)
So i've been doing some reading this holiday,
only during the night tho. Till i get tired and eventually fall asleep :)
My current reading :
" I take this man...whether he likes it or not " by Valerie Frankel
There's this one sentence which Penny made, that got me thinking for a little while.
This was when Penny just found out that her soon husband-to-be, Bram had just left her during the very last minute at the alter. Around her was her bestfriend, the wedding planner and her mom. And she said very calmly,
"As soon as my legs start working again, I'm going to get off the floor and sit on that couch. I'd like a cocktail too please. Only after that, I'm open to suggestions. "See, i've always wished that i could be as calm whenever situations arises. Thing is, I just can never be calm. Guess I just have to start somewhere right! :)
*___*___*___*
On the other hand, after so so many years...
me bought myself a Crayon Shin Chan book today!
cause I think shin chan really rocks! Don't you? :)
So many have left !
And the most ironic part of all, they all left on the very same day - 14th February 2009 :(
On the other hand, we had a not-so-mini-but-superbly-krazy Chicken's Farewell Night on the 11th !
With thirteen girls altogether, what else do you expect...
me & Vonnie
Wan Lin & me, since primary 3
Yvonne, me, Jamie
me & Jia Li, we used to snail mail each other :)
me, Wen Yi & Weiwen (a.k.a chiken - whom the farewell party is for)
me & Wen Yi, since primary two
Rachael, Wen Yi & me
Yvonne, Wei Wen, Rachael, Wen Yi, me :)
May, Peiman, me, Wei Wen, Jia Li, Rachael, Wen Yi
the ones who went through high-school with me, loves :)
Just one night. Two got drunk. Three puked. Many got high. And 300 pictures :)
I've got to say, this year's V-day was a tad different compared to years before.
Many may have already known, i've just embraced the whole singlehood thingy and am taking baby steps trying to figure how it actually works! After so many years you see...
And so far, i think i've been doing not too bad afterall ! :)
For the first time ever, i ordered the most expensive dish in the menu. Sort of daddy's treat to me, since he can be considered as my now-boyfriend *hugs*
Mummy & Daddy, still going on strong after 25years
Grace & Adrian , the newly engaged couple
And of course, what's a Valentine's Day without any sunflowers!
me love :)
Meantime while we were all back home before heading out again, i decided to show them my love by doing a little spin !
*wheeeeee* :)
Me love Valentine's day!
As much as some may find the day being a little overrated, i guess its really nice seeing how guys put in all their effort running around just for this one day to be a special one. And the amount of thoughts put in just for that one special gift.
( I just spent the last one hour on the phone with a macho guy who is worrying that all his plans will fail terribly, and he sounded so funny! "Omgg, do you think she will like it ?" "Do you think im over-doing it?" "Do you think that restaurant will be better than this?" )
And all im thinking about on the other side of the phone is what a lucky girl she is. So no worries alright, im sure she will love every part of it! :)
Who on earth doesn't like the feeling of being loved anyway, right ?
So, Happy Valentine's Day to all of you ! :)
13th February 2009 - I found out much more about life, family, friendship and relationship today.
And i have learnt to love myself even more, you'll never go wrong with this.
What have you learnt today ?
And they say, " What that does not kill you only makes you stronger ".
Its me against the world now :)
Am watching this superbly old school Jackie Chan action movie with dad now. You know how he just never seem grow old, ever ? But whatever. I still like watching him :)
Went to try the yee sang from Sushi King today. Last year's was with salmon, this year scallops. Somehow i still prefer their yee sang compared to the ones we usually have during new year eve. Lots more crumbs to munch, yummm :)
Have to go back to KL tomorrow, while others will still be ChineseNewYear-ing back here. hmmph :/
Nah, show you a picture of the girls...
with our SMELLY legs!! blegh :p
ok time to go pack my luggage! toodles :)
*endless drumrollssssss*
Me back! :)
First and foremost, Happy New Year everyone! Still not too late, since there's still another 8 more days to go. The year of Ox have been pretty great so far, lots of fun and no drama. Plus more fun :)
Fell terribly ill on the day before eve, thats even before i get to enjoy any of the cny goodies! So spoiler right :/
But thinking back on the night before, for Zouk it was all worth it. I think they should really award CherylBarrel the triple VIP title (Very-Very-Very important person), that girl practically owns the place! Her second home, or maybe first afterall *shakes head*
Yvonne, Michelle, Cherise, Me, Kelly T., Sabrina, and...
oh, edwin's fatty hands :p
Kelly L., Me, Michelle, CheryBarrel :)
*____*____*____*
I'm actually still trying to understand the whole "cheong k" thingy, seriously
cause everyone around me seems to be loving it so supa damn much, all except me!
" What to do tomorrow huh? "
" Come lets go cheong k! "
" What are we doing after dinner?
" We go cheong k! "
" We should gather like... "
" Oh i know, go cheong k ! "
I swear the people in KL love it so much. And so the people in Jaybee.
Oh yaaa, and people from Kuantan too, this i confirm. why
The girls' planned for cheong k session failed terribly a few days back.
Wanting the cheapest rate, they picked the early morning slot. I managed to wrigle myself out of it tho, since i lost my voice (duh, with the fever and flu and throat infection) Heeee.
But the next morning i had a phone call " blah blah blah, everyone didn't wake up !! "
so i asked the both them to pick me up in an hour. And the three of us went to have DimSum for breakfast instead. Yes, me love :)
Then again Jiali, if you're reading this
i'll still make sure you get your cheong k session no matter what ok. As promised ! :)
On a totally unrealted note, I think the person who invented Facebook is, really a damn great guy. Don't you think so ?
