Convocation

Being working for more than half a year, attending convocation seems a weird thing to do. Haha.

Last time we always complained, aiya soooo looooooooooooonggggg need to wait 10 months for convocation, bo mood liao la!

And today, we just attended the convocation.

Seeing people from my class, which include the junior batch, I felt like we never left university.

Began the day by registration, getting the robe and hat for the first time, having Nek in helping me to pin my hat and my robe, getting flowers from my parents (though they actually self-made one bouquet at home hahahaha), and taking family potrait.

The self-made bouquet on the left and the Minnie Mouse bouquet on the right. :D

Then rehearsal, which ended quite fast so guests were allowed to enter the hall earlier than planned.

SEGi students were seated just behind the Masters graduands of Hyper Island (not sure why a university is named that name hahahaha), so basically we didn't need to wait too long to get on stage, but we did need to wait for other graduands from other universities to get on stage haha.

Cheeeeseeeeeeeeeeeee~~~

PC: Nek

A blur picture by my Dad when I got off the stage and went back to my place hahahahaha.

AND we ended the whole ceremony early too. Not sure was it too cincai (heard that ADP's convocation has performances while we had none ahaha), but nevertheless it was just for that 5 seconds for each individual, so it was alright hahaha.

Our seniors came, Poh ah Poh came, Gajie they all came, SUMC members came.

Once I came out from the hall, they were the ones I took picture with.
Glaring at the cheese tarts wishing they were mine. Hahahahaha. :P

PC: Nek

With Flowerboy!

PC: Nek

With Ah Yi. Our bear and mouse faced to our right side hahahaha.

PC: Nek

Me and Poh ah Poh~ Thanks for the cute pen!!! :D

Me and Nek!!!!!!!!

PC: Nek

Gorgor, Me and Nek. :D

PC: Josh Low

Nek what were you doing with my robe again hahaha!

Weeeeeee~!!

:P

The surprise came when I finally saw this guy (ask me where was the venue only when he arrived Sunway Clio Hotel -.-) from afar, and when I got nearer to him I saw this big bouquet of flowers. My mouth immediately hung wide open because he told me he will buy one flower and not a whole bouquet of flowers plus a bear. 

THIS PICTURE IS SO THE VERY NICE AND ALL THANKS TO JOSH LOW!!!!

Felt so warm and happy and blessed at the same time. Of course this is the first time receiving flowers, probably the last from him too ahhahahahaha. But that feeling will last forever! Thank you Husky! 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

Of course not to forget to thank my parents for their love for me. Their only child is officially graduated and I know that they're so proud with me. 💕💕💕💕👪👪👪

💕

What's next? :D

One Man One Woman

This is actually part of the sermon on the first day I attended Bethany Church. But you know, sometimes I lazy, so I no blog la. Hahaha.

Let me tell you a story:

Last few weeks, my Mum told me that one of our neighbours have two (2) wives and one of his wives live in the unit that is nearby mine, and another wive (don't ask me who is big wife who is small wife) lives in another house in somewhere on earth. The funny thing is: He told my Mum that it was a secret and don't tell anybody else ah.

-.-

Hello Pak Cik, lu ada dua isteri bagi tau I punya mak tapi lu punya dua isteri betul2 tak tau ke.

-.-

I understand that it's legal to have more than 1 wives for their religion but nowadays I think actually the women strongly object to it already. That's why he needs to secretly marry another wife. Not sure he got other wives in other countries or not because he said that he just came back from overseas.

The question here is:

YOU GUYS NEED SO MANY WIVES FOR WHAT!!!!

It's either you go flirt around when you're single and never get married, OR, you focus on one lady and get married with her.

On the 1st of April, Star 2 reported that Muslim women face unequal rights when seeking a divorce.

“The lesser rights result in some cases extending more than eight years, either because of a husband’s refusal to pronounce talak (a husband’s unilateral right to divorce) or because of a Syariah judge’s reluctance to proceed with a divorce application through other means such as fasakh (a wife’s right to seek divorce) or taklik (annulment) when a husband is purposely absent in court,” says Aliah. Under Islamic Family Law, a husband has the exclusive power to divorce his wife by way of talaq: just by saying “I divorce/talaq you”.


They say that marriage is a gamble. It's true in a way. Some people change after they are married. Some people who are expected to change after married didn't change. You won't really know what does the future hold on to.


And there are the discussion on how married couples should behave. If you're a married man, and your female friend wants to meet you, what's the appropriate thing to do? Same goes to a married woman.

Our generation ain't like our parents/grandparents' generation. For them, after they are married, most of them keep themselves with their family and work, nothing more. Ours? Before get married, update FB status. After married, update FB status. Take selfie with husband and child and upload to Instagram. Snapchat your child taking baby steps. Tweet bad words about your husband when you're angry with him.

Sometimes I wonder, do we really need this? All this socializing thingy? Do we really need to report to the whole world how is our lives? Because of the technology, it becomes easier to meet up with old friends and it's very normal to keep in touch with friends of the opposite gender. No such thing as no more girl friends if you're a guy and no more guy friends if you're a girl in our generation.

But sometimes, because of this technology, there are chances that old flames will rekindle. It just need one text, or in our generation, one WhatsApp message to change everything. For some people, they are afraid that their spouses will find out that they are in touch with their friends of the opposite gender, even though it was just normal conversation. But when their spouses realised it, they will automatically think of the other way, that is there is something more than just normal conversation. Then they argue. Then they tell their friends of the other gender about the argument. Then they realised that the friends of the opposite gender are better than their spouses. Then they divorce. Then they remarried. Then they live happily ever after. The end.

NOT.

Sometimes people go a bit too far when it comes to connecting with friends of the other gender and by doing so indirectly distracted your focus on your spouse. There is no focus anymore. It pulls you away from focusing on loving your spouse wholeheartedly.

You can say that it's getting harder to find true love in our generation because too often we get too carried away with our emotions and forgot our priorities.

Don't get married just because you want to, or the society pushes you to, or because you no choice. Get married because you love each other.


So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.  And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” - Genesis 1:27-28 -

Jared & Marianne: Wedding

I saw this video after watching the video We Were Once Happy that I mentioned in the previous post, apparently the creator of The Grim Film, Jared Lee (don't envy his long ponytail okay hahaha) just got married with his fiancee, Marianne Tan. Realised that no matter how funny you are, when it comes to your own wedding, you'll be super nervous. The contrast between Jared in his videos and during the wedding day is sooooo huge you just couldn't believe it's the same person. Hahahahaha. And Marianne is sooooooooooo pretty!!!!

Btw, now only I know that there is more than one guy who is scared of cockroaches. HA. HA. HA.



One day I want my marriage to build upon this Bible verse too. I want love to be the solid foundation of my marriage because I know that whatever happens, we are there for each other and with each other.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.   

It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

SG - Melbourne - New York.

My relatives must dislike me a lot. I mean,  A LOT.

After I finished my finals, there are uncles aunties asking about what I want to do after that. Then when they know I want to go to Singapore, they volunteer to help me ask around.

My uncle has a friend whose daughter is currently working in E&Y SG after working in E&Y Malaysia for few years.

E&Y, one of the Big 4 accounting firms.

My uncle just asked around and got the girl's number, ask me to just give her a call. I WhatsApp her, she just asked me to send her my resume but it's very hard to enter Big 4 in Singapore as a fresh graduate so at the end there ain't any news from her.

It's okay, I'm not really that interested to enter Big 4 firms anyway. Haha.

Then the other day my Mum told me that my uncle helped me to ask around for jobs in Melbourne but apparently they prefer people who studied in Australia to work in Australia.

My Mum was like, I got only one daughter and you want to send my only one daughter to Australia WITHOUT MY PERMISSION AH!

HAHAHAHAHA I laughed like crazy. From going to SG to going to Australia. Not bad la, got similar currency rate. Hahahhahahahaha.

What happened today was even funnier.

My Mum went to my grandma's house, and cousin bro just asked about me and my job interview, then he was like, I can ask my friend who is a banker in New York if you want~

My Mum's eyes went big big straight away rejected his offer and say no need la it's okay one. My cousin bro being helpful kept on saying nevermind one~ I can ask one~ If I no call you means no news la~

I laughed non-stop when my Mum told me about this after she came back home. When my Mum said no need la it's okay one, she's actually saying I GOT ONLY ONE DAUGHTER WHY YOU WANT TO SEND HER TO NEW YORK SOMEMORE YOU NO ASK ME WANT TO SEND HER TO NEW YORK OR NOT!!!

But what my cousin bro thought was that my Mum was paiseh to ask him to help. That was why he kept on insisting that it's okay to help me ask around.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

My Mum said she doesn't know why my uncle wants to send me to Melbourne and my cousin bro wants to send me to New York. She got one daughter only but they want to send me to countries far far away. Just the thought of me wanting to work in SG already made her emo HAHAHAHA somemore those countries require me to sit in the plane for so many hours HAHAHAHAHA.

Aiyo, I cannot stopped laughing. I told her, maybe my cousin bro thinks that I have the potential to enter Wall Street. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Of course, once I go to New York I'll never come back. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

See, my relatives dislike me so much till they can't wait to send me to places like Australia or U.S.A. Poor, poor me. *sob sob*


Thank You Lord, for Your gentle reminders. We know that the things You tell us to do in Your Word are for our good and for Your glory. Help us to step up and do the things that bring honor to Your name.

Tergendala.

Because everything related to career keep pouring in today. Been busy accepting calls, replying emails etc. While trying to answer other people's questions for the last exam paper.

So my revision is tergendala.

I'll just take it as blessings of the week. Hehehehe.



I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. - John 10:9 -

Departure of 2015

It seems that today is the only day where bloggers will write more. HAHAHA. Because once I logged into my blogger account, I see a list of bloggers with new updates. Haha.

So I decided to go back to the first day of this year to see whether I fulfill my new year resolutions or not.

Guess what?

Write on my book?

The first thing that came across my mind was:

WHAT BOOK?!

Seriously, I have no idea what I was mentioning about. It's not my diary because I don't write this kind of things in my diary. My planner on the other hand, also no. Or maybe it's my planner, I don't know. Hahaha.

So... 2015 huh. Final year of degree. You know I know. Went to Shanghai and experienced winter for the first time, until I fell sick (I fell sick when I was in Vietnam last year because the weather was too HOT -.- ), but no, tak ada snow. Went to Bangkok for the 2nd time hehe.

Not-actively participated in the events of SUMC, only appeared during the day itself HAHA, performed for the first and last time, went to prom for the first and last time.

Got few meet-ups with highschool friends, I know I'm such a popular person till they keep on asking me to yumcha with them and if I don't my head will be chopped off. Lol. Syok sendiri betul. Ahaha.

Learn that there will be never-ending politics + drama whether it's internal or external of societies. As I mentioned, I wasn't actively involved. But I got to know a few bedtime stories here and there.

Went to YA every Friday for the 1st sem only. :\ Because YA stopped during 2nd sem and I didn't have classes on Fridays in 3rd sem. Went to church camp for the very first time. A very great experience and certainly would like to go to more church camps. Really helps in growing spiritually. :') Talking about God, it seems that Daddy is getting nearer in accepting Christ and that's the best news ever throughout the whole year. :')))

Nek had a 360 degree in her relationship. Hehe. Really gave me heart attack that few months. *wipe sweat* Thank God I'm still alive. As long as you're happy, then it's worth it. After all, it's already 8 months. :)

Last but not least, yes, I got a bf. After having crushes on 2 guys who are suitable only for admiration. I guess I really do things that shocked people. Just like that time when Husky and Nek thought I will choose matcha flavour for ice cream macaroon. In the end I surprised them by choosing blackcurrant flavour. Haha. Yes, I didn't date one of the 2 guys that I had crushes but I'm with a person other than the 2 guys.

How it happened exactly? Haha I don't know either. But to prevent myself from getting hurt, I found out that I chose to love myself much more than I love him. And misunderstandings occurred because I don't understand him enough. I have doubts, I feel insecure, I think too much. The "puppy love" period only lasted for 3 months plus, where we focus just on falling in love. After that, all serious issues poured in. It indicates that, we are still lacking of love for each other and sometimes we began to part ways, in terms of thinking.

I do hope that 2016 will be a year where plannings can be turned into actions. Not hope, but must. One of my goals, other than finding a permanent job, is actually to allocate some money to have a short vacation with you at the end of next year. But before that, we still have problems to settle. Instead of having fear of the future, I decided to cut short the 'future' into one year, where we work together to solve issues. The issues that only can be solved if we are to sit down and discuss together on what can be done. If this method can lead to happier life, why not?

Here's to a new year where you guys will really tick all of your resolutions. If you have any, that is. :P

Father I'm putting my longings and burdens on You at the end of this year because I know You care for me and can work powerfully. Thank You that I and my loved ones are in Your care. :)


当钟声响起时，烟花也随着各地而绽放。我站在阳台，感受到冷风吹来，好冷好冷。
就好像当你说你不知道的时候，我心的温度一样，好冷好冷。

如果当初没有爱，哪来的结婚打算哪来的见家长？我不是你拿去炫耀的物品，不是你标明“我终于有女朋友”的东西。

半年了，如果这感觉不是爱，不是喜欢，那，是什么？
 陪衬？精神寄托？花瓶？

一句我不知道，一句我选择保持沉默，让我的心在这一天，裂了。

Yatao Jiejie

So she jio me out because she is going to start her new life next week and won't be around for don't know how long. Finally. After 4 years. She's able to do something that she really really wants.

From being forced to do something that she doesn't like, until she finally has the chance to be involved in something that she has passion with.

You know what you really love when your mentor tells you that you are doing something extraordinary. When she wanted to enter UCSI by going for audition thinking to major in piano, she couldn't. But cello, this musical instrument that is not easy to learn at all, that she just started last year, that she already achieved grade 5 by now, that she passed the audition and able to enter the university, wow, you can totally feel the passion of cello in her.

Not to forget the comments that her teacher and the examiner gave her.

All these years I always have passion in a lot of stuff. Fashion, design, numbers, languages, business, music, you name it. But none of them is what I'm really doing right now. That's when I realised those are only interests. Not passion. What's my passion then? No, I haven't found any yet. Not even one.

While she's happily congratulating me for finding my true love, I'm sincerely happy for her for finding her passion. Without passion, one is like a lost sheep wandering in nowhere. So yeap, she found her direction of life.

For the first time, I forgot to bring my camera out. -.- So we used her XiaoMi which camera produces nice pictures as well.  Hehehe.

This is me, with our food. Yeap, our.

This is a pretty nice flower. Real one, FYI.

Our food, because we ordered one and share share eat hehehe.

A flower selfie-ing with another flower. Hehehe.

In the dark, she wished for her Prince Charming to come and steal her away from me. :'(

And in the bright, she let me take pic of her. With Dragon Jasmine Pearl tea. Hehehe.

Apart from me telling my story, she too shared her ehem complicated story. But with her entering university, her distant is shorten with him. Unlike me, going further already haha.


Anyway, I wish you the best in your new life, finally going to do something that you really love. So proud of you. Of course, not forgetting, all the best in turning your complicated relationship into a normal one. Hehehe. Love you lots. ♥ 

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. - Colossians 3:15 -

Christmas Eve

Spending Christmas Eve by attending my cousin's brother wedding. Now, this is the first time I ever spent my Christmas Eve in this way. Hahaha. Though the reason that they got married was well, making their parents having heart attacks. And of course, not happy about it. At all. You know I know la the reason. :P

Gossips aside.

This is the first wedding ever since I got a Husky. I mean I'm together with Husky. Usually when I attend weddings, I'll be like awwww that's so sweeeetttt I wish someday I'll have the chance to do so too~

But when you have a boyfriend, the I wish someday I'll have the chance to do so too~ kind of feeling just become stronger. Probably because in order to get married you need to first get a bf and when you have a bf it just means that you're one step closer in getting married.


However, people often marry due to the wrong reason. Because they are forced to, because it's arranged by parents (though, can't deny that some arranged couples made really good couples at the end), or for whatever reason.

The #1 reason is often this: Because I already reach the age of getting married and coincidentally I met this person so we just get married la. 

But NOT because they truly love their partner and sincerely want to spend their whole lives with them. Of course some really love their other halves but some of them just want to get married for the sake of getting married. It just means that their other halves can be anyone, as long as they get married.

"To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part."

How many people can hold on this vow, until death do them part? 

Of course I too wish to marry my first love (whose first love happened to be me also HAHAHAHA) but it's still a long way down the road. The most important question is to think of what to eat for tomorrow. Hehe.

Not really dare to wear white (to avoid stealing spotlight of the bride, they say)
but this is milk colour.
I repeat, milk colour. Not white.

Attempt to curl my hair by myself: FAILED for the nth time. Sad.

Anyway, anyone who's close to me can faster get married or not? I want to be bridesmaid lea. You all not going to marry ke?


God made His home with us so that we might make our home with Him.

Kids

WARNING: VERY LONG POST

So my thesis is 99% done. Left a bit of so-called leftovers that needs to be edited. Chapter 5 didn't get the chance to be read by my supervisor, but I think it should be okay because it's only conclusion. HOPEFULLY IT'S ONLY CONCLUSION AND DOESN'T MATTER THAT MUCH. :\


Yesterday went to my cousin's house to celebrate his daughter's one year old birthday celebration. Most of the guests are.. yup, adults. Hahaha. With alcohol. Train the one-year-old how to drink so that she won't get drunk that easily when she grows up. Ha. Ha. Just kidding.

When I looked closer at her, I realised that she looks 90% like me when I was small. Oh no, not the looked-like-boy me, but the very-cute-and-seriously-looked-very-dumb me. Eyes big big, chubby cheeks (not that chubby as mine last time, but still chubby), I nearly kissed her cheeks and only realise, eh, this kid is not mine. Cannot simply kiss other kids' cheek okay. HAHAHAHA. :P

I like to read articles regarding parenting since highschool. Okay, I must admit that I have interest in a lot of stuff. Too many, sometimes. The interest to read parenting stuff is not because I want to have kids already (I have phobia with kids who mop floors in public while screaming so I wouldn't want to have one yet thank you), but because I'm interested on what kind of psychology that parents are advised to use on kids.

How to make them to listen to you, how to avoid di-per-sia-sui-kan by your kids and behave in public, how to eat vegetables obediently (seriously what's wrong with kids why they got phobia with vegetables), how to stop your kids from dating when they are still in primary school (previous generation it was how to stop your kids from dating when they are still in secondary school but I figure out during our next generation it might be ahead of few years so I'm writing primary school LOL).

Main point is, I'm interested in psychology that's why I'm interested in parenting stuff. Hahaha. Not that I'm not interested in how to deal with friends/relationships/workplace, but the more I read about stuff like that the less sincere I became when it comes to dealing with people. Kids on the other hand, they're still developing their minds. Still innocent. LOL.

Funny how being one of the rebellious kids in the world wanting to control my future kids to not be rebellious. Note to my future kids: Just grow up until you're 5 year old okay? You'll remain cute forever. Don't get a bf when you're 5 please.


And because of my interest here, I tend to be interested on how parents take care of their kids especially when the age gap of their kids are 2 to 3 years only. Means taking care of a toddler, who probably just learned how to walk, talk, eat, touch everything chew anything ask a lot of things PLUS a baby who just, well, learn how to flip his/her body when he/she sleeps.

For those who knows Vivy Yusof, know that she's a very successful entrepreneur who operates Fashion Valet with her husband and have a toddler + baby. Her blog, Proud Duck is a very famous blog featuring her life as a wife, mother of two and entrepreneur, and how to juggle all these roles successfully.

And from her Instagram, I got to know Tim Tiah and his wife, Audrey and I started to follow Audrey's blog, Four Feet Nine and got to know how she juggles her toddler + baby and earns income by being a blogger (even though I don't really like her amount used of WTF). Work-at-home mum. Which is something that I hope to do someday because as much as I want to be financially independent, I cannot imagine letting other people to raise my kids. FYI, other people included parents. Since I love to write and probably won't stop blogging, I can earn income through freelance writing whatsoever.

Think think only la. Can do or not is another thing. Hahahaha. Got kids or not is also another thing. HAHAHA. Going to get married or not IS ALSO ANOTHER THING HAHAHAHAHA.

I used to tell my parents that I wanna be food editor where companies pay me to eat and all I do is just to eat and write reviews. HOW EXCITED IS THAT. Or, travel editor where companies pay me to travel and all I do is just to travel and write reviews. WOOHOOO NOW THIS IS REALLY EXCITING.

But of course, parents will be parents. Let you study Accounting & Finance and you wanna just eat, travel and write ah? 

I can sleep also la. If that's what you mean. Which, of course is not what they meant. Bleh.


Anyway, Tim Tiah is an entrepreneur also, a co-founder of Netccentric. He blogs at Tim Tiah, but more on his life as a father, entrepreneurship and reviews on everything he uses. LOL. Almost everything la I think.

Both families are entrepreneurs with successful businesses, and only at such young age. Vivy Yusof and her husband are only at their late 20s whereas Tim Tiah is just 31 years old.

Where will I be when I'm 30 years old?
Somewhere on earth. Haha.

I remember reading an article from Shopify and this sentence struck me:

Never compare your beginning with other people's middle.

Translation: You may seem like you still have a long way to go, and no matter how hard you do, it seems like you just can't succeed compared with other people who are already successful.

Don't. Successful people too met their own struggles. They too encountered failures. What we see of them now is what they achieved after years of facing issues, solving problems and learn how to have patience and determination.

Money can be earned. But strong character needs time to build up, and not every person is able to do it. It takes a lot of sleepless nights and support from close ones.



So as you can see, this post is not 100% about kids. I always have this ability to divert from what I should write. Probably have too many things in my mind so I one shot type all out.

If you're reading this, thank you for your patience for finish reading it. It just means that you have a certain level of patience and I applaud you for that. Please do not tell me whether you skip certain paragraphs or not. Hahahaha.

In You do I trust; cause me to know the way in which I should walk. - Psalm 143:8 -

LDR

Long-distant relationship.


During the last YA, Juliana (aka SEGi Idol 2015 champion) realised that I'm going to graduate soon, so she was like, graduating from diploma ke? I said no, it's degree. Then she asked, how bout Husky Gorgor? Got 2 more years lor. Then I told her, you'll see him more than I see him.

Hahaha.

Sad, but true.

As the thesis deadline is getting nearer, I begin to think more of what will happen when I go to SG to work. IF, someone wants to employ me la.

Will we still chat the way we chat like now? Even now, both of us are busy with our own things. When we are done, we just want to sleep. Because it's such a tiring day for both of us, for him especially. And we just don't want to pressure each other to continue chatting because we know that both of us just want to rest. Sometimes just a bit of words can make someone annoy easily.

I guess it's normal to have a bit fear. That communication will soon be lesser. That feelings.. might fade away bit by bit. Especially when the relationship is not yet stable.

This is why we need trust. And we need faith on each other. To maintain the love that we have between us despite our distance. We need to be committed in keeping the connection between each other. Skype everyday? Don't miss a day. Good morning and good night texts? Don't forget to do it. You'll have no choice but to miss your partner through a phone. If distance is a problem to couples, then those who see each other everyday will not break up right? But still, they did.

This article appears in FB and I guess it's kinda true though. Click here to read it.

Anyway, this has been circulated in FB lately. 12 countries in 3 years. WOW.

How lovely. How much trust and faith to love each other with all the time differences.

If after all these challenges, and when they finally able to see each other everyday but yet they cannot survive, then I'll be really speechless.
 

Through patience one a ruler can be persuaded and a gentle tongue can break a bone. - Proverbs 25:15 -

MidAutumn

The last time we attended MidAutumn event in SEGi was during Foundation and it was fun because it was like a bazaar with lots of food and clothes and etc along the pathway outside Sakura.

But this time it was in MPH so it wasn't that fun.

Hahahahaha. Sounded so evil.

The SUMC committee had a meeting before the event so me and Nek went there first. We didn't really know exactly how many of us were going so we agak-agak reserve 8 seats which turned out to be insufficient.

Nek was the most kesian of all. Sitting between two couples (one of them are always super lovey-dovey in public. Ehem, not me and Husky of course.), being the brightest lightbulb in the whole universe. No wonder she became the first one to ciao. Hahahaha. Fed up of putting on the cranky face that's why. :P

The moment we stepped into MPH and we saw how the seats are arranged, we were like, doesn't this pattern seem familiar? Remember how seats are arranged during Unplugged Night? Yeah, 99% like that. The only 1% difference was that we put something on the tables which served as tablecloths but this event they didn't put anything. Oh well. Can't sue them because we didn't copyright our seating pattern. :\

Free mooncakes were handed around, and got muruku also. Since when muruku is Chinese traditional food? -.-

And the backdrop. So funny. The theme written in Chinese that was written on the wall is fullmoon but the image of the moon was a halfmoon. -.-

The only thing I enjoyed was the Chinese Yoyo (扯铃) because that guy really geng. (Y)

 Not sure whether we're bias or what but to us... SUMC STILL THE BEST. HAHAHAHAHAHA.


Anyway, few of us were a bit sad today because we realise that one of our friends who was in a relationship for at least 7 years broke up with his gf and is in a relationship with our senior who was in a relationship for 5 years. I got a bit heart broken. *sniff* The guy and his gf were always my role model couple. *sniff* I had admired them since Foundation. *sniff* Now, they no longer an item. *wail*

Husky told me that one of his friend's brother dated for 10 years and is going to get married soon.

So it doesn't matter it's 7 or 10. It doesn't matter both of you are in two different places or the same place. As long as the hearts are not connected anymore, it just doesn't matter anymore.

Love is so fragile. Sigh.

In my times of trial, dear Lord, teach me to wait for You. But please teach me even more to trust the love You have for me. And as I do, may I learn Your wisdom and have the patience to endure. 

Maze Runner 2

So we went for a second date after two weeks of not seeing each other. Venue changed to The Curve or else we might bump into Jamie and gf. Hahahaha. Because we kept walking around One U last time. Being security guards and ensure customers' safety. ;)


We went to Cathay and it was my turn to choose a movie so I chose Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials because Maze Runner 1 was fabulous!

Turned out that people were right when they said the second part of a movie series is always the worst one because the first part will always be the best one and people will expect the second to be better but it's always the opposite.

There's no maze in the movie and there are a lot of zombies. Or also known as virus-infected Cranks. I usually don't watch zombies movie. :'(

So after movie (before that we had lunch as usual) we walked from E-Curve to IPC to The Curve to IKEA back and forth. We seriously can recruit ourselves as security guards for shopping malls. Hahahaha.

Then we had dinner and I had a very hard time trying to finish my meal because Husky kept annoyed/made me laughed until I was too full to finish it.

The next time we go on a date together, I would really like to do something different. Not just movies and meals, but something really different.


This month to me is the time when I started to feel friction between the two of us. I began to understand him more, which unfortunately led me to start doubting whether we're suitable for each other or not. But I guess it's something that every couples will go through. Frictions, understanding, toleration, communication. To make things better or worse, it really takes effort from both parties.



This is when I realise that... my feelings to him is no longer like. Love is starting to grow. The real picture of future is starting to make sense. That's why concerns come in.

Copycat la, I wear black he also wears black. -.-

See!! Shoes also black! Somemore his new shoes are platform type!
You 158cm ah now? Increase height for what? -.-

I need pest control. Hahahahahaha. 

At the end of the day we had some serious talk about something, it made me shed few tears but it's alright, because every problems have their own solutions and as long we put effort in solving it together instead of ignoring it, we'll have better days, eh?

Lord, we give You our deepest grief as well as our joy. Thank You for Your constant presence no matter what today holds. You alone are faithful. When we put our problems in God's hands, He puts His peace in our hearts. 

September

I don't really have anything to blog, but I feel like blogging something.

So basically I'm having sem break now for one week. Actually I feel like I've been having sem break since January because Year 3 is kinda... relax for all of us.

While we suffered in Year 1 with 9 assignments/presentations in 1 sem (the funny thing is Year 1 results are not countable in our Honours), we only have maximum 3 subjects per sem in Year 3.


And the supervisors for our FYP had came out, I didn't get the lengzai lecturer that I targeted (Husky was like, no need see him, see me enough HA-HA-HA) but I got our coordinator. Not so sure whether it's a good news or what but.. I'm excited in doing my FYP because it's something that I'm interested at. Can't imagine how will I feel if I chose a title just because it's general but I don't have any interests on it. Same as choosing a job in the future. Ahhhhh it's just sooooo nearrrrr!


Sometimes I'm so excited to start a new life in a new place all by myself but sometimes I feel guilty for being excited because it seems like I can't wait to leave my parents and Husky. -.-


Just this morning Poh ah Poh WhatsApp me and asked when am I free because she wants to see me (desperately). Bahahaha. When she asked when am I going to be official with Husky, I was like, you get married first la, then I'll be official with him. HAHAHAHAHA. Pressures on her! xD


What Nek said bout her Pug the other day struck me. He didn't want to be committed last time because he was afraid to rely on her emotionally. Then I was like, yeah that's the exact reason why I don't want to be official now!

Last time I used to be clingy and when I stopped doing so, other people 'cling on me'. I'm concerned that once a person who are not clingy turns to be clingy, she, I mean I, will be super clingy until Husky probably gets scared of me and run away. Bleh.

Can't wait for me to get super clingy to him. Hahahahahahahaha.


Lord, let Your splendor fill my life, that I may draw people to You. Help me walk in the way that spreads the fragrance of Your love to others.

Half Year. More.

Today is the 1st of July.

Do you know what that means?

I've only like, half year before I finished off my final final exam. Then probably after CNY I'll be whizzed off to start working.

Where to work? Previously I went to a job fair and narrowed down Dell and Nestle as potential future employers.

IF, I were to work in KL.

But... will Singapore be a better place? I can learn how to be independent and there's freedommmmmmm!!!!

Not really. Nobody will be there to take care of me when I'm sick. *sniff* Especially when I'm that kind of person who gets sick easily. :(


But from what I had experienced throughout the years, I realised that I'm quite fast when it comes to adapting to new environment.

Like when I'm traveling, I'll usually be able to suit myself on the 4th day. Except in Hanoi and Shanghai where I got sick. *roll my eyes up*

I got bit feeling that once I really get used to the environment, I'll never ever miss home miss my family miss my friends miss erm, ehem and be 150% enjoy my working life there.

I can always go back home since it's just Singapore right. RIGHT.

Besides, I hardly miss people. I still remember I wasn't the one who cried when I started standard 1. *roll my eyes up again* I even felt like asking the boy next to me to stop crying. And I always enjoy meeting new people.

Look at my relationship with my high school mates. I don't really miss them. But it's always a nice thing to catch up and all.



Argh future future future. Where are you bringing me to?

The Assessment

During the break me and Nek were quite busy with The Mock Interview stuff. Me doing my assessment and editing resume while Nek edited her resume when I did my assessment.

The results are equally shocking.

I scored highest for the social category and the recommended jobs are choreographer, music teacher, kindergarten teacher and err..... nanny.

-.-

First of all, I don't recall doing any questions related to dancing.

Second of all, I was very happy clicking yes for questions like managing stores.

-.-

No idea how did I get to these social jobs but Nek gave me that wink and I was like, noooooooooottttttt related one okaaaayyyyyyyyyy. -.-


Honestly saying, not to brag, but it's something from my heart, that one day, I will just put everything aside, and venture around to be involved in missionary.

I do not know whether I will be going to do this or not but for temporary, this is my vision.

I know I always wanted to open a cafe and be involved in business, but I just don't know why, I never wanted to expand my business when it is stable. Like, open another branch in another area and etc. Didn't even want to expand as an international business.

Maybe that was what happened to Starbucks when another man stepped up as CEO, every single value that the founder wants is abolished and that is why he stepped back and be the CEO, and change back every single thing that he initially wanted.

Ah Yi told me that the first time she saw me she thought that I'm suitable to be a teacher.

The problem is, I'm very bad with kids. No idea how to tackle them, no idea how to comfort them, no idea how to stop them from crying and instead tell me what they want.

Especially babies because I could not understand baby language.

As if other people understand la hahahahaha.


Maybe I should change course to psychology so I can hypnotise the kids to be good and understanding. And quiet. Hahaha.

Entrepreneurship is my 3rd best category, not even 2nd.

So the disappointed. Maybe I wasn't destined to be doing business long term after all. Unless it's related to my social category jobs.



Kay la, after the last finals next year in January, I go register to study Education as 2nd degree la.


NOOOOTTTTTT.

It's Already March!

One week ago we were sitting at the mamak realising oh no March will be coming soon in 4 days time before we noticed that it was February, which, doesn't have spaces for 29th and 30th. And 31st.

So we went ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh it was fassssstttttttttt.

See, as I'm typing this post, it's already the 6th day of March.

And we are still in our holiday mood.

I, in fact will be going overseas in a week time, imagine how I feel, going through a month plus of sem break, started class for 2 weeks, then off to somewhere for a week only come back and stabilise my studying mood.

We have 4 subjects this sem, Corporate Finance triggers my interests the most since it is more on investments. I had the basics during internship so this class serves as the main dish for me to know in depth while what I learned during internship is just the appetizer, or as the lecturer said, the skeleton only.

With Nek as the bridge for informing us about the events coming up soon, and with the omg-final-year-already-must-do-something-extraordinary feeling, I just feel like, maybe, MAYBE, I should delay my plan to another year.

Sometimes I really don't know. To be confident in myself that I can do it though it's difficult to divide time, especially when our Business Research Project carries a huge percentage in determining our honours, yikes! Or to just enjoy my final year to the max. Not like I'll be going to study for 10 more years (and get student discount in some outlets with my student card for 10 more years hahahahaha) so this kind of feeling is just like what I felt during form 5.


To proceed or not to proceed, that is the question. Gah, wait until I go overseas, come back settle down， refresh my heart and mind. *omphhhhhhh*


Today in Youth Ablaze, Ms Vicky reminded us that each of us have our part to contribute to our family, to our society and to our nation.

From 1 Corinthians 12,
¹⁵ Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. ¹⁶ And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. ¹⁷ If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? ¹⁸ But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. ¹⁹ If they were all one part, where would the body be? ²⁰ As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

Too bad I won't be around for next week gathering as a pastor will be coming to preach on relationships! Ahhh so sad. But at the same time I'm looking forward to the fundraising during Easter Week!

Well, life still goes on!!!!! Hwaiting!!

365/365 in 2014

Maybe, just maybe, 2014 is a challenging year to all of us and we need 2015 to fix it.

Whether to remind ourselves that life is short, and that we need to always appreciate each other, or to stop dreaming and start doing something.

To me, 1st of January 2015 is just another ordinary day, but for other people, it may be just an excuse for them to start doing something, make new resolutions and trying hard to cross out the resolutions off their lists.

20 years of living in this world, having all sorts of emotions running up and down, but not experiencing enough.

I've got lots of things in my mind, wanting to complete all of them in one shot though it's impossible.

I'm lacking of focus nowadays, not knowing what to do first and what to do next. Probably because I want to do lots of things.

Lots.

People go and come. And as I look out, I realise that no matter what had happened to the world, the earth is still self-revolving, time is still tickling, cars are moving fast on the road.

The sun appears, the sun sets.

Frankly saying, other than having internship this year, nothing change much and I didn't achieve anything big, unlike those years, where I earned a spot in the top 10 in Selangor for creative writing competition, hit full As in SPM and passed my G8 piano exam with distinction.

Nope. I achieve nothing this year.

However, something happened in March, and it got me kick-started to finally start doing something related to entrepreneurship. I started to absorb everything I can from books, magazines, newsletters etc.

I find the road to entrepreneurship is tough, as every wee bit of decisions made may influence the outcome of the whole plan.

I always think that 25 is considered as getting old, as 5 is in the middle of 10, and being 25 in 5, or in tomorrow's case, 4 years is like me getting older and older each day.

Hahahahahahaha. Not being very optimistic about age eh?

So either I choose to keep whining on getting old or I can do something to make a difference. After all, age is just about numbers.

Muahahahaha.

Despite the heart-wrenching news that we receive this year, we must stay positive and be strong because when there is darkness, there is light.

We shall see the sun again tomorrow.

Ciao 2014! Aloha 2015!

20

Few weeks before I am officially 20, I felt a sudden sense of growing up, be more mature, be more responsible. Just.. well, grow up.

And because this year I'll be having my internship, I feel a bit nervous because.. no longer I'll be facing just lectures, studies and assignments. It's time for me to learn more about what I will expect when I finally graduate in Jan 2016.

Around Feb/Mar, 1994.

I must admit, I no longer look as cute as when I was a toddler. =(


Celebrated b'day with family. Last minute celebration actually. Passed by Secret Recipe in Jusco, Kepong, and only decided to buy one slice of cake. Hahahaha.

Cake apart, look what Daddy got me.

A card with FROGS OHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Apparently this is the cutest card that he could find HAHAHAHA. I'm 20 dy, still need cute card? =P

Ended the night with a cup of Caramel Latté. ;)


With birthday in the 1st month of every year, it always give me a feeling of being brand-new. We enjoyed Christmas, one week later will be New Year. Fresh things ahead. After New Year is my birthday. Fresh things ahead. Usually after or during my birthday will be Chinese New Year. Fresh things ahead. After Chinese New year, START YEAR 2 SEM 1 LIAO. FRESH THINGS AHEAD.
Hahahahahaha.




Thanks to all of you who wished me through sms, fb and whatsapp. =')
May God's blessings reach upon all of you! ;D

Do You Wanna Build A Snowman?

Pianoboy did a cover for this song which I had no idea what song it was till he played it.

It's a song from the movie Frozen, which I remember Andrea wanting to watch it so much haha.

The way he played it is so beautifulllllllll. 


Maybe you won't believe that there's a guy, who doesn't smoke, at the same time doesn't drink, at the same time doesn't SWEAR, exists.

But I tell you, it's possible to have guys like this. It's just a little bit too bad that they don't appear in front of me.

I may not know this guy personally, but from his FB, the way he writes about God almost everytime as his status, I know that God is definitely in his heart and he will have Him, in his heart always.

He is just exactly someone that I'm looking for. 






Just maybe someday, I'll find someone like you. 

A Brush With Angels

You really really really need to click HERE and read this article.

It's so amazing that God sends angels like this lady here to help out children with special needs.

What amazed me the most is when I read the part where a pair of autistic twins did nothing but just add paint to a pot of water, and for the next FIVE months, they did nothing other than quietly sat there and just mixed the colours in the pot.

The result was shocking. I just wish that I have a picture of their artwork. But without seeing it, I already felt amazed.




Sometimes I wonder.. will I someday stop going to work like a normal adult will do, and be like this lady, who goes from a country to another, just to contribute to the society, especially the needy.


Will I?
