Happy Chinese New Year everyone.... :D Ain't I very the CUTE?    Yea... well the picture above doesn't really have a connection with CNY but every CNY I will always remember my grandma. I captured this photo with a camera. Talk about inception... A photo in a photo... hahaha. I still miss her dearly... cause we were very close I'd say.     After she passed away, Eileen and I started this tradition among the four of us sisters. To pour tea for our parents on the first day of Chinese New year. We wish them well and they, in turn give us their blessings and the angpows, of course! I'm not sure how it happened but we ended up kneeling down in front of both our parents while giving them their cup of tea.     See? Complete teapot and cup set, lol.    This only came about three years ago... Why, I am not sure. This year, like the Hari Raya style, I asked for forgiveness from my two oldies (parents). I am sure I must have caused them a l...

Dear KT and Jenny, The month of May seems so far away at the moment. And so is our Mount Kinablau expedition. The exercises we must do, the training we must endure, just can't seem to 'materialise' at the moment as our trip has yet to come. I fear though, that I have something urgent to inform you all. I recently came down with cough, a sore throat and a slight fever. During my recovery, I found myself wheezing and my chest actually hurt when I tried to breathe deeper. I have yet to pay a visit to the doctors as I dislike them and they in turn dislike me too as I can be a stubborn patient at times. My fear is that I may face the same difficulty in breathing as we reach higher altitudes. This scares me as I really want to experience the hike up mount Kinabalu so I can come back down to KL and show of f. With no experienced doctors around (We're archenemies), a tour guide, and all of us as inexperienced climbers, I may need someone to do CPR for me if I should ever cr...

Dear Mr. J, I am writing this letter to you (though it's 100% you won't come across this) just to let you know that you inspired me today. You may not know it but your attitude in serving my mom and dad puts me to shame when I think of how I behaved in certain situations. I saw you coming in for work in the morning at about 10 something when I dropped off some keys at one of our company's outlet. Then, again at dinner time 8-ish when my parents wanted to eat at where you were working. I would assume that by that time, you would have been working for 10 hours plus. Dealing with customers ain't easy, especially when you get my mom and dad. You asked them seats for how many pax, my dad said, "Five.", my mom said, "Four." You got confused as only my parents were in the line, my sister and I had wandered off. You looked at my dad then at my mom. Instead of being rude or impatient like how some people are, you were actually cheeky. You said, ...

Ah damn.... I wanted to try something on my blog... but it doesn't seem to work. I wanted to add pages but the current template I'm using doesn't configure with it. Oh well. I want to experiment writing from a different perspective. My same point of view but to put it in words differently. Bloggers who have long been on the scene would know about the "Letter to my 18 year old self" tag thing, where you write a letter, based on your current situation now, advising yourself at 18 years of age. Some sort like that. I'm not very sure too... lol. Yes, I want to do this letter writing format too but no, not to my 18 year old self. But, to other people out there. I think it would be nice, in a way... Of course, the people whom I direct the letter can't all be reading it. It'll be super weird....Then it won't be personal anymore.... Right? Yup, let's see how long this lasts... I have two pending projects, abandoned... sad.

Happy new year again! How has the first week of the new year been for you? :) For me, well, I once again have a direction in my life. I think I finally do.  I have goals and resolutions (bite-sized) to work forward to. Resolutions which are now more workable and acheivable. Goals which are hopefully met, if not, I have to look for another goal to aim for. Some matters which I think I now have answers to. Others which are at the wait and see stage. Failing which, then at least I know the answers too. The last two months kinda broke my heart. Hahah. Not heart as in love stuff though, I think the door to that department is closed and locked to me. Huh. Haha. Heart as in general stuff. The things which were said really broke me. No, scratch that. Not things. That sentence. Only one sentence. Six words. I have stopped shedding tears or feeling upset about it. Things return to normal but when I recall those few words said to me that day, the pain and the unexpectedness of it just hu...

It's a brand new year and a brand new day. I hate this time of the year. Honestly, I have told myself many times. It's just a day. New Year's day that's what it is, which if you think about it, it is. After a day or two, everyone goes back to their normal living routine of the year. Then as the end of another year passes, there goes another big hoo-ha. The cycle continues. On and on and on.... Why then am I so reluctant to let go of the old year and step into the new one? Is it because I feel as if I have not fully written in the pages of my life for the year 2011? That there are still so many empty pages to fill? That I feel I am unable to give this chapter of my life a proper closure and say adios to it? Or is it because I fear of what is to come? Since no one can predict the future accurately, we never know what is going to happen. The uncertainty... It's just a day. That's all that it is. Why do people make resolutions for every year? Why not every mon...
