I'm 23!

So I'm officially 23! Every year I'll be saying the same thing:

"Sound so old right now."

Hahahahahahahaha.

So I had an early birthday celebration with Husky on the 24th of Jan and a belated celebration with Nek on the 2nd of Feb. Of course not to forget, my actual birthday celebration with my parents on the 25th of Jan.

Husky brought me to Sushi Mentai for dinner after work.

Haiya my finger -.-

Not bad eh~ 😏😏😏

We kept annoyed each other and I kept talked talked talked till he said he finished 80% of the green tea because I was busy with talking instead of eating.

Super full I tell you!

When I reached home only I realise that, I didn't take picture with this guy, who didn't initiate to take picture with me also. :\

Nek Growing Old AGAIN!!!!

Delayed our date on the 31st and celebrate Nek's birthday on the 8th! WOOHOO SOMEONE JUST GREW OLDER AGAIN!

Went to Gangnam 88 for Korean food (the last time I ate Korean food was in November in Korea ahaha), I expected the Kimchi BBQ and Kimchi soup will be spicy until I couldn't take it but no, it was just nice.

"Should I eat the plate?" :P

"Wah so many colourful plates!" xD

Nice shot taken by the staff :D

Then we went to e-Curve to watch Moana, yes cartoon again hahaha. But I quite like this movie, reminds me of Brother Bear. So meaningful and touching movie. Make me wanna watch Brother Bear again. :P

So that's it. A simple celebration for Nek. :D

❣

01.01.17

No last emo post for the last day of 2016.

No excited post for the first day of 2017.

Because all I feel is...contented.

Contented of what I'm having, even though I still argue with my Mum a lot, even though I still don't have much to talk with my Dad, even though my bf is not the tallest, richest and handsomest bf in the universe, even though my Nek is still thinner than me, even though my job doesn't give me the highest salary in the world, even though I'm still waiting for God to answer my some of my prayers.

But I know my Mum protects me, I know my Dad loves me, I know my bf cares for me, I know my Nek gets fatter already, I know I had learned so much in my company, and I know that I will get answers from God someday, just as I always have.


Turning from 21 to 22 is not a big deal because I still had exams in January back then, it doesn't change much as my status was still a student.

But then turning from 22 to 23 is a whole lot of big deal.

My status doesn't change, from an employee to... still an employee. Just a not so newbie employee anymore.

Usually they call those who are in their early 20s as young adult. And in few more years time, the 'young' word will be stripped off, no more young anymore. Officially adult. Getting-old adult.

*Cries*

Where did my youth go? Cannot la, must achieve more things when I'm still a young adult! But I always find myself standing at the same circle, going nowhere than where I'm always been.

Need to start achieving goals instead of making them. How to make new resolutions if the old ones are still stuck underneath somewhere?

Starting by using time well. I've made a planner to avoid myself from browsing too much FB or Instagram. :D

The key to success is to fully utilize our time and create more productivity. 

- Quote by Jasmine Ng -

Remember to jot it down and make it your life mantra. ;)


By the way, there wasn't much fireworks when the time reached 00:00. Spending too much in 2016, eh?

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. - Hebrews 11:6 -

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

Iguana

It's very rare that I get to go out on a weekday night, especially after I've started work.

But it's Iguana! No matter what also need to give face right? :P

The reason why all 25 of us had a dinner together is for the departure of Iguana to U.K for 2 years. *sob sob*

Also you can say that it's the first time me and Husky appeared together publicly since we are official. OH YEAH WE ARE OFFICIAL SINCE A MONTH AGO. HAHAHAHAHA!

Ahem, back to Iguana.

When Husky told me about this dinner I told him to tell Val privately that I'll be coming to give Iguana a surprise. I almost fail to attend as I'm still having cough and sore throat, felt pretty bad when I woke up in the morning but I felt better during afternoon so I decided to give it a shot.

So Husky fetched me after my work, and we headed there, to find out that we're actually the first ones to arrive but we dilly dally a bit so we arrived when most of them already in Hometown Steamboat.

There were so many of us till we needed 3 tables to connect with each other.

Husky made me proud for being the chef of the table because he is so pro of knowing which ingredients to put in first and agak-agak when the ingredients are cooked, until I gave him applause and feel so proud that I don't need to cook for the rest of my life WOOHOO! xD

The people of my table is so traditional, drinking hot Chinese tea while others ordered longan and etc. Hahaha!

When they asked us what we want to eat, I keep pointing pictures like ice cream and... more ice cream, only to get a firm NO by Husky because I'm not supposed to eat that yet. Saaaaaadddddd.

And before we ate, we toast for Iguana's departure, we toast for the start of Angel's unemployment period, we toast for Gorgor for coming back from Ipoh, we toast for Jasontato for coming back from U.K, and the last toast was from Gorgor who toast for me and Husky. -.-

Husky shouted YUMMMMM SEENNNGGGGG so loud as if this's his wedding. -.-

While I just yuuuuuummmmmmmmmm seng, basically due to lack of voice. HAHA.

After we finished eating, it was time to take turns and gave Iguana our wishes. Most of us say take care, I just took out my phone and showed the rest that I'm important in her life because our picture is featured in her FB page HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA she said she put it because Zai Zai is inside (our picture in Desa Park on Valentine's Day hahahaha) but I remember she got solo picture with Zai Zai la hahahaha.

The juniors spoke until they sobbed and cried, when it was my turn I did the same thing too boohoohoooooo :'(

We saw Wendy cried man tears, promising that if Iguana comes back with another guy he'll be the first to kill him. It ended with Iguana speaking out her feelings to some of her close ones, and lastly mentioned that she put the picture in FB because of me la hahahahahaha.

Gorgor shouted from her place that the juniors said finally they saw the 'real me'. Actually I saw them before, but that time they haven't join SUMC YET and didn't know Husky YET and weren't that close to him YET so they didn't really care about my existence la. HOR HUSKY. -.-

We ciao around 10 something, and fetched few friends back before sending me back home. Can't make it for the airport trip to send Iguana off next week because it's quite late, feel so sadddddddd....:\

But anyhow I still thank God that I get to know her, as someone who's so crazy and comfortable with herself and also a good spiritual friend, never forget the days where we went to camp together and had heart to heart talk. I do hope that she and Wendy will be able to stay strong throughout these 2 years! :')

Just Keep Swimming

So me and Nek went for a movie date, and yes, it's cartoon again ------ FINDING DORY.

Such a coincidence that Nek told me Finding Nemo was located in Sydney AND I actually watched Finding Nemo in the bus so watching Finding Dory after Finding Nemo just makes enough sense. Haha.

As both of us quite like to sleep, and we agreed to depart at 11+am, but when both of us woke up at 10+am, we were like, I'm going back to sleep zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. -.-

By the way we reached The Curve around 11.10am, and went to e-Curve to buy tickets before going to the McD at the Kidzania Center. Met up with the so chubby Shawn (OMG SO CHUBBY AND HANDSOME!!!!!!) and also had a talk with Nek's sister (Ah Yi Po xD), then we jalan-jalan until 3.45pm to watch Finding Dory.

Small little Dory is sooooooooooooooooo cuuuuuuttttttttttteeeeeeeeeeeeee OMGGGGGGGG!

Overall it was a great movie, and the moral of the story is JUST KEEP SWIMMIIIINNNGGGGGG~~~~~~~ In other words, don't give up and keep going! Also be like Dory, who does things without needing to think so hard and plan so hard, see what do what, that's it. HAHA.

And we also stayed till the very end for the ending credit. Teehee. After back we went to IKEA and bought currypuffs. My all time favourites. ;D

Nek wore a maxi today hehehehehe

PC: Nek

Oh Oh!!! I bought a earcuff in Lovisa for only RM12!!!!! 

A day well-spent with my beloved Nek. ♥ 

One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. - Proverbs 18:24 -

Simplicity

So today was a busy day for me. After church, Nek fetched me to eat prawn mee for lunch.

Then we went to Tesco to collect our movie tickets which were booked by Nek. By the way, the price for the couple seats is the same as 2 single seats. HAHAHAHAHA. So we chose the couple seat. HAHAHAHAHA. Oh, we watched cartoon because I owed Nek a cartoon movie time since last year June, when Minions were released. But I ffk, so finally I repaid the movie time back to her hahaha.

We still have an hour before the movie starts, so we walked around inside Tesco. Obviously there isn't any places to walk around, so we played the toy claw machine and tried to get a Stitch.

I managed to have the machine clawed the Stitch halfway, but that's the highest I can get because it dropped the Stitch after that. So sad. :'(

Somebody took this picture without me knowing,
too focus on getting the Stitch dy hahaha

After countless times, we gave up and went into MBO to watch....  ANGRY BIRDS!

Hahahahaha yes we watched Angry Birds, and we learned a few moral values from it such as:

: Anger can make you feel motivated.
: Birds and pigs are enemies.
: Drawing can help you to release stress.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Okay la, the main point is that anger isn't the solution to every problems. Even if you bomb yourself, the issue is still there so you need to be calm and figure out what's the solution. ;D

After that we went to Cova to fetch Gorgor and we went to Desa Park City together. It was raining a bit when we reached there. -.- And no Bear Bear today because the pet shop doesn't want to groom him hahahahaha.

We met Iguana with Piebald (not againnnnnnnn) at the dog park, and around 6+ that Husky came to join us. Okay so we actually talked to each other again, but that's another story la. :P

And the story regarding me and the dogs, well that's a love-hate relationship. It's said that the dogs cans sense whether we're afraid of them or not so dogs keep rejected me. Not because I really scare la, I like to hug them and all (absolutely no problem with Bear Bear okay), but when they over active ah, I tell you ah, I wanna hide behind a tree liao.

Like this corgi name Coffee, we kept playing with him. Got one time he was walking towards me, I was so the happy and delightful until the last second when it turned to Husky. Everybody laughed, especially Husky. -.-

Want to take a proper picture also susah. -.-

See this Husky, touch the corgi until cannot stop like that. Hmph.

There were also 2 Golden Retrievers who kept on passing by, walking in between me and Gorgor as if we don't exist.

The saliva of the dogs today were excessive and whoever hugged them will kena their saliva. One hush puppy even sneaked into Gorgor's handbag and saliva was all over all her bag and her cardigan HAHAHAHAHA!

Before we left Desa Park City, the owner of Coffee told us that Coffee refused to go home because he was attracted to a female dog and kept looking far far away to see if she was still there hahahaha! The owner almost needed to beg Coffee to go back home. I was like, don't like this okay, got fate will meet her again one HAHAHA!

After that we went to Kepong Bahru pasar malam, Gorgor and Nek bought few stuff while my eyes went blink blink blink whenever I saw tarts, cakes, and even coconut ice-cream! Hahaha! 

Today was actually a very simple day. No luxurious places, no exclusive food, no fancy clothes, but it was lovely just because I got to spend my day doing simple things with people who are close to me. 

Eating prawn mee and not going to cafes is simple, trying to get a soft toy from the toy claw machine is simple, watching cartoon movie is simple, going to Desa Park City to enjoy the nature and spending time with dogs are simple, straying in pasar malam is simple. 

The only downside is... my choker hilang already. *sob* As you can see from my selfie with Nek, the choker was still there. Then... it was gone. *wail* It wasn't until we went to pasar malam and I saw a lot of chokers only I realised that it is missing. Sigh.

But overall I had fun. Simple things add up and it's happiness. :')

❤

Ps: All pictures credit to Nek :P

I will praise the name of God with song, And shall magnify Him with thanksgiving. - Psalm 69:30 -

O God

I feel helpless now, I feel weak. Very helpless, very weak. 

For running out of words, for not being there personally for her. And also for saying the wrong words and frustrated over her feelings and thinking right now. 

I know I can't fully feel what she's going through now, but God said He knows everything. From the stars in the sky, and the hairs on our heads. 

We know we can always trust God in every situations, but to trust, means that we're willing to surrender everything to Him because we know that He will take care of our needs, especially emotional ones.

I pray that God can continue to give me strength so that I can pass to her, and I also pray that God can give me the appropriate words to say. As a close friend, I know that I can't and won't be able to ignore her situation. I can't and won't be silent. What I can try is to not speak the wrong words to make her feel worse. 

I'm glad that there are other friends who are there for her, supportive for her and she's involved in an event that can take her mind off at least for a while. At least I know she's not alone.

Let's not focus on tomorrow. Let's focus on today. Let's appreciate everything we do and everything that we have today. Take each day as one single step. Because when the clock strikes 12, it's another today. Tomorrow never comes, but today, will come again, and today, is always a fresh new beginning.

In Romans 8:26, it says that The Spirit helps us in our weaknesses. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 

Thank You Lord, for giving us Your Spirit to help us when we pray. Thank You for hearing our prayers and loving us.

Valentine's Day 2016.

This day is the day where it's the 7th day of CNY aka Human Day aka everyone's birthday and Valentine's Day.

It's also, supposed to be the day where he'll celebrate my belated birthday and our 1st Valentine's, and I'm supposed to receive his 2nd confession, from there on this supposed to be our anniversary for many years to come.

Sad to say, plans had changed. My feelings had too, changed.

What's the point of celebrating Valentine's Day when you feel sad and hurt everyday? What's the point of receiving a Valentine's Day gift when all you receive everyday are excuses?



Nevertheless, it was special to me because I had the chance to went dating with Nek, and her Bear Bear~ :D

Starting off with having dessert in Sanda XXL, I was still full because I had late lunch so she ordered a mango something something. Then she cabut to ambil duit from ATM so I took my time to help her dessert capture #ootd.

Top View.

Front View.

Zoom In View.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh boy, I'm such a pro. xD

Then she came back with a Secret Recipe box. I was like, err you went to Secret Recipe to ambil duit?

Turned out she went and bought a cake for my belated birthday. It had been almost a month so I didn't expect it. No wonder she wanna kidnap me out these few days. :P

Red Velvet Supreme~

Me and my belated birthday cake~ :D

Ah Po and her dessert~ :D

It was still early after we finished makan so we just jalan one round and took few pictures because we assumed that later on with Bear Bear along we won't be able to take pictures. Hahaha.

This shot not bad eh Nek~

Selfie selfie~

Forever want to hide behind me because she always complaint
my hair blocks her view if she stands on my left side. *bleh*

Yeah it's me and the err tall grasses. xD

Aiyo I didn't know I got such long legs! xD

Old people nowadays ah, just can't put down their phone ah, go DPC also keep using phone,
old people nowadays ah.

Oh no! Dark clouds! :O

Speaking of dark clouds, I shared this to Nek and she was like, don't curse me lea, I wanna bring Bear Bear go gai gai lea.

After she asked me to not curse her, I looked up the sky,
and realised that there were a lot of dark clouds. Oops.

Then we hopped into her car and headed to the shops opposite Aeon Kepong to pick her Bear Bear. The moment we reached the pet shop, we were stunned because the dog that was being groomed was so small size but looked like her dog at the same time. She asked the owner to double confirm that he is her dog. With and without long fur, the difference is sooooo big!

Nek kept wondering what they did to him to make him sit diam diam. xD

Look at the furry fur!!!!

Honestly saying, over 22 years, I didn't hug a dog before. Or any animals la. Everytime I see pet dogs and when they start to come to me I'll be screaming for their owners to take them away. So when I learned that I needed to share my seat with Bear Bear throughout the journey back to DPC I was scared. So I cried. :'(

Nah I was just kidding. But it took me a while to calm him down so that he won't keep on moving around. He's nice to hold when he's sitting quietly on my lap. I even asked him to wear seatbelt which he didn't. Ngehehe. And thank God his nails were cut. Or else my skin will end up like his owner. :P

When we reached DPC, the sky looked darker as ever. Nek asked Iguana to come out with Piebald also so we met her at the dog's park.

Bear Bear refused to take a decent picture with Iguana. Hehe.

A Husky, Poodle, and err Bear Bear's furry tail.

A Husky with different eye colours!

Bear Bear probably was fed up with us taking pictures. :P

Nope, still not looking at the camera.

The high-heels-Poodle. :P

HELLO THE CAMERA SINI LA MANA LU TENGOK

Like a human toddler trying to sayang a human baby~

Clearly Bear Bear needed some sleep. -.-

As the sky got darker, Iguana went back with Pieball and her brother while me and Nek hanged around until we decided to walked back to the Waterfront.

Until, we saw this fella appeared.

CORGI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

HEY WHOSE TAIL IS THAT AT THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PICTURE!

AAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW~

This is the closest I can take with this super active Corgi
because it just couldn't stop moving.

At the end, we walked back to the Waterfront, where Nek drove back home and I waited for my parents.

It was indeed God's blessing because we kept thinking that it will rain with the super dark clouds and thunder going on and thought that we wouldn't be enjoying our date. It rained heavily in my house area and her house area too. For some reason, it just didn't rain in DPC. And also because of the weather, it wasn't hot so it was overall a great weather for us to chill. Not to forget the fact that we sweat quite a lot just to chase Bear Bear. *wipe sweat*

Bear Bear grins with me! (And barks at his owner. HEHEHE!)

My fav picture with Bear Bear! ❤
Pc: Nek

Muacks!
Pc: Nek

Nek said my eyes are as big as Bear Bear. Oh well. :P
Pc: Nek

Thank you Nek for spending this year Valentine's Day with me and also celebrated my belated birthday! Not to forget, the love letter! Glad to have you in my life. :'))) And also, glad to hugged Bear Bear!

End this post with another selfie~

God not only created us and knows us, but He is in tune to our every thought and emotion. He is there when we are anxious, excited, nervous, delighted, and heartbroken. He is there, and He understands.
