day one.

first day of class was alright. only one lecture on monday. isn't that just, great? but then, i went back home like six hours after lecture. why? cause there was just so many things to be done. went around campus with june cause she had some stuffs to settle. went up to the office to look for the lecturer like three times? when finally we've found the person that we needed to meet, she wasn't in. had to wait like an hour until she came back. but then the queue to meet her was really long. and since june found this friend, we kinda cut queue. XD and so after waiting for an hour and a half, we finally get to meet the hod lady. turns out, we couldn't change class. and like, all our trips of going to sob so many times and wasting almost two hours waiting for her was all useless. blehh. but i guess it's okay. one semester's gonna fly by very soon anyways. so yeah, kinda looking forward to tomorrow's class now. definitely not accounting lecture that is. i'm talking about bis tutorial. something like e-commerce. this should be fun :D

i'm such a big sinner. :(

Read only if you have time for God

Let me tell you, make sure you read all the way to the bottom. I was blessed when I got to the end

God, when I received this e-mail, I thought...

I don't have time for this... And, this is really inappropriate during work.

Then, I realized that this kind of thinking is... Exactly, what has caused lots of the problems in our world today.

We try to keep God in church on Sunday morning..

Maybe, Sunday night...

And, the unlikely event of a midweek service.

We do like to have Him around during sickness..

And, of course, at funerals.

However, we don't have time, or room, for Him during work or play...

Because.. That's the part of our lives we think... We can, and should, handle on our own.

May God forgive me for ever thinking...

That... there is a time or place where..

HE is not to be FIRST in my life.

We should always have time to remember all HE has done for us.

If, You aren't ashamed to do this...

Please follow the directions.

Jesus said, 'If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father.'

Not ashamed?

Pass this on ONLY IF YOU MEAN IT!!

Yes, I do Love God.

HE is my source of existence and Savior.

He keeps me functioning each and every day. Without Him, I will be nothing. But, with Christ, HE strengthens me. (Phil 4:13)

This is the simplest test.

If You Love God... And, are not ashamed of all the marvelous things HE has done for you...

Send this to ten people and the person who sent it to you!

I don't think I know 10 people who would admit they love Jesus. Do You love Him?


THE POEM

I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to do. I had to hurry and get to work For bills would soon be due. So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,

And jumped up off my knees.

My Christian duty was now done

My soul could rest at ease.

All day long I had no time

To spread a word of cheer. No time to speak of Christ to friends,

They'd laugh at me I'd fear.

No time, no time, too much to do,

That was my constant cry,

No time to give to souls in need

But at last the time, the time to die.

I went before the Lord, I came, I stood with downcast eyes. For in his hands God held a book; It was the book of life.

God looked into his book and said

'Your name I cannot find.

I once was going to write it down...

But never found the time'

Now do you have the time to pass it on?

Make sure that you scroll through to the end.

Easy vs. Hard

Why is it so hard to tell the truth but Yet so easy to tell a lie?

Why are we so sleepy in church but Right when the sermon is over we suddenly wake up?

Why is it so hard to talk about God but yet so easy to talk about nasty stuff?

Why is it so boring to look at a Christian magazine, but yet so easy to look at a nasty one?

Why is it so easy to delete a Godly e- mail, but yet we forward all of the nasty ones?

Why are the churches getting smaller but yet the bars and dance clubs are getting larger?

Do you give up? Think about it . Are you going to forward this, or delete it?

Just remember-God is watching you. Prayer Wheel-Let's see the devil stop this one!

Here's what the wheel is all about. When you receive this, say a prayer for the person that sent it to you....

That's all you have to do....

There is nothing attached....

This is so powerful....

Do not stop the wheel, please....

Of all the free gifts we may receive, Prayer is the very best one....

There are no costs, but wonderful rewards... GOD BLESS!

May God keep you and bless you. If this doesn't give you chills, nothing will...this message is very true. Hope you are all as blessed as I was from this story. I wonder how many people will delete this without reading it because of the title on it?

There once was a man named George Thomas, pastor in a small New England town. One Easter Sunday morning he came to the Church carrying a rusty, bent, old bird cage, and set it by the pulpit. Eyebrows were raised and, as if in response, Pastor Thomas began to speak...'I was walking through town yesterday when I saw a young boy coming toward me swinging this bird cage. On the bottom of the cage were three little wild birds, shivering with cold and fright. I stopped the lad and asked, 'What you got there, son?' 'Just some old birds,' came the reply.

'What are you gonna do with them?' I asked.

'Take 'em home and have fun with 'em,' he answered 'I'm gonna tease 'em and pull out their feathers to make 'em fight. I'm gonna have a real good time' 'But you'll get tired of those birds sooner or later. What will you do?'

'Oh, I got some cats,' said the little boy. 'They like birds. I'll take 'em to them.'

The pastor was silent for a moment. 'How much do you want for those birds, son?'

'Huh?? !!! Why, you don't want them birds, mister. They're just plain old field birds. They don't sing. They ain't even pretty!'

'How much?' the pastor asked again.

The boy sized up the pastor as if he were crazy and said, '$10?'

The pastor reached in his pocket and took out a ten dollar bill. He placed it in the boy's hand. In a flash, the boy was gone.

The pastor picked up the cage and gently carried it to the end of the alley where there was a tree and a grassy spot Setting the cage down, he opened the door, and by softly tapping the bars persuaded the birds out, setting them free.

Well, that explained the empty bird cage on the pulpit, and then the pastor began to tell this story.

One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation. Satan had just come from the Garden of Eden, and he was gloating and boasting. 'Yes, sir, I just caught the world full of people down there. Set me a trap, used bait I knew they couldn't resist. Got 'em all!'

'What are you going to do with them?' Jesus asked.

Satan replied, 'Oh, I'm gonna have fun! I'm gonna teach them how to marry and divorce each other, how to hate and abuse each other, how to drink and smoke and curse. I'm gonna teach them how to invent guns and bombs and kill each other. I'm really gonna have fun!'

'And what will you do when you get done with them?' Jesus asked. 'Oh, I'll kill 'em,' Satan glared proudly. 'How much do you want for them?' Jesus asked

'Oh, you don't want those people. They ain't no good. Why, you'll take them and they'll just hate you. They'll spit on you, curse you and kill you. You don't want those people!!'

'How much?' He asked again.

Satan looked at Jesus and sneered, 'All your blood, tears and your life.'

Jesus said, 'DONE!'

Then He paid the price.

The pastor picked up the cage he opened the door and he walked from the pulpit.

Notes: Isn't it funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell.

Isn't it funny how someone can say 'I believe in God' but still follow Satan (who, by the way, also 'believes' in God).

Isn't it funny how you can send a thousand jokes through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing?

Isn't it funny how when you go to forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it to them.

Isn't it funny how I can be more worried about what other people think of me than what God thinks of me.

I pray, for everyone who sends this to their entire address book, they will be blessed by God in a way special for them.

And send it back to the person who sent it, to let them know that indeed it was sent out to many more.

p.s:

If you receive this in your email, is not because I want to just forward any email to you. But because I thought of you when forwarding this. That you are one who may need to read this as well.. like me..

Be blessed and have a nice day.

the above is a message i got from a friend in facebook. he inbox-ed me this and after reading it, i felt guilty. i'm a hugeass sinner and i feel myself drifting further away from God. seriously, i've been so caught up with other things that i only seek Him when i'm in trouble or sick or worried. oh Lord, please forgive me. *sigh

:D

it's like not even 9pm right now and everyone's asking me to sleep. my dad went past my room at 7.57pm just now and told me to sleep earlier cause i got class tomorrow. half an hour later at 8.23pm, my mum came in again and asked me to sleep earlier cause i got class tomorrow. lol yeah, they said the exact same thing to me. so i guess i gotta sleep early then tonight. gosh, i can't wait until tomorrow. first day of class as a degree student! excited and nervous at the same time too. oh Lord, please bless and guide me all through tomorrow. i really need your guidance and hopefully everything will go smoothly. so i guess i'm off to bed soon. after checking my fb and twitter that is. lol goodnight people. :D

two more days.

went up to Brunei this afternoon with the family. didn't go up until Bandar though. just went to Kuala Belait and Seria. daddy went to buy some car tyres and after that, bought some stuffs, had dinner and we're back. it was a three hour trip. pretty quick eh? yeah, it was. i guess i won't be having anymore trips in the future as class starts the day after tomorrow. nervous much! i still can't believe that i'm gonna be a degree student once i step into campus on monday. gonna have my very first degree lecture at 9am. woooo. am i excited? pretty much. i can't wait to see my friends! i kinda sort of miss them a lot. and when the semester starts, i guess i gotta be very busy. need to study study study. there's a few smartass kids in my class and i seriously cannot fall behind too much. if not, no face when go class wei. lol but still, to the people reading this now please wish me luck. i need confidence and strength to face every single day. i don't wanna wake up feeling tired and useless and going to campus with a D: or @@ or :X face you know. HAHA.

never judge a book by it's cover.

Think before you speak. What if the girl you were making fun of for being ugly, got into an accident and that is why she looks the way she does? What if the boy you made fun of for being shy, was abused when he was younger and now doesn’t trust people. What if the girl you made fun of for being emo, cuts herself because of the words you say behind her back. What if the kids you make fun of for being fat, can’t lose weight because they have a medical problem. What if the kids who do drugs and drink, do it because they grew up in a household where drinking and doing drugs is the only way to escape reality. What if? Think before you speak.

dinner & dessert.

kinda lazy to blog so it's gonna be a very short post. so my cousin david's going to perth on saturday to further his studies there. actually, it' his final year and he's gonna be graduating there. and since my third aunt from ipoh is here and going back next week, we all decided to have dinner together at a chinese restaurant in town. ordered lots of food and we ate so much. it was fun having dinner with so many family members around. so much to talk, so much to laugh. my sister went around asking riddles after we finished eating. there were a few that were really funny. kept talking and joking. after dinner, daddy brought us all to dessert master for some well, desserts. my cousin joanna and her mum followed my car. and in the car, we were like telling ghost stories that seriously gave me goosebumps. eventhough i've heard some of them already before. the stories were mostly about bintang plaza. i guess all mirian should know what's been happening there since last year. :\ omg goosebumps are coming again. so anyways, we went to have desserts, talked for a little bit more and went back. i seriously need to enjoy my last few days of my summer break before class starts on monday. XD

chris medina!

chris medina is officially out from american idol! very sad wei! i'm so gonna stop watching american idol from now on. :( this dude was the reason why i even started watching american idol. i'm actually a very lazy person and i'm really lazy when it comes to catching up with these shows once a week. so yeah, i'm not a huge fan of these chasing tv shows things but one unusual night, i was downstairs with my mum and sister when i switched to channel 711 on astro. american idol was showing and there was nothing better to watch on tv so i thought, "why not? at least this time it's shown only a week or so slower than the actual airing in america". and towards the end of the show, i saw chris going in for the auditions. before he sang, he told the judges his story which indeed did touch my heart. i felt very sorry for his beautiful fiancee. and there's this part when he said "what kinda guy would i be if walked out on her when she needed me the most" which actually moved me. i was close to tears. like seriously, he's such a sweet and loving guy. and he's definitely a keeper. juliana's really lucky to have him. i'm jealous of her. lol but still, i was devastated when i found out he didn't make it to the top 24. i mean, he could've been the next american idol. even j lo cried when she told him no. ahh, very sad. but oh well, that's the final decision and i can't do anything about it. just hope that chris will continue to give his fiancee all the love and care she needs and i wish him the best. would love to watch him go on tv again if there's any chance that he would. oh and the video below is a short clip of his audition and story that touched the hearts of everyone. :')

there's more to what you see.

lesbians don’t have a crush on every girl they see, people who smile all the time aren’t always happy, not everyone with an opinion is stuck-up, girls with lots of guy friends aren’t sluts, not all black people are ‘ghetto’, not all Mexican people are lower-class, not all bisexuals sleep with everyone they meet, not everyone who likes to drink is an alcoholic, not everyone who self-harms is an emo, not everyone who laughs is happy inside, homosexuals don’t want a relationship with every guy they see, not everyone who makes mistakes is stupid, blonde girls are not unintelligent, people who wear black aren’t always goths, and not all teeangers are troublemakers.

- unknown.

countdown.

realize that i haven't been updating lately. and yes, i'm just that lazy. lol class is gonna start on monday. i guess that's why my laziness is coming back to find me. i mean, i love school don't get me wrong. it's just the annoying teaching and learning (units that i despise) that i don't like. pffffft. i wanna go back to campus and study ecs all day long. now, wouldn't that be fun? we just need to talk talk and talk. the part of it? it's all english and there's no calculations or formulas. :D

but heh, i cannot be daydreaming anymore. when i get back to campus on monday, i'm a full-time degree student now. goodbye to good ol' foundation. ah, another step into adulthood/matureness. i hope i don't screw up this semester. i want everything to go by smoothly. which i doubt is ever possible unless i'm a smartass nerd who can score more then 3/4 of the full marks for every exam. :\

so yeah, four more days of relaxing and i'm back to reality. say goodbye to my summer holidays and hello to books, lecture notes and driving 10-15 to reach campus. oh and speaking of driving to campus, i don't have friday classes again! woooooh ~ actually, i don't have wednesday classes too but some of my friends say it'll be boring at home if we only have three days of class. so now, it's four. i'm not really loving it though. my thursday timetable sucks to the max. i wanna change class! really really really hope that i'll be able to do that. gonna go find the lecturer on monday and talk about it. wish me luck people! *fingers crossed very tightly.

that's a girl.

When a girl is silent, that’s pretty dangerous. She’s either overthinking, tired of waiting, about to blow, lonely, needs a hug, falling apart or crying inside. and most probably all of those above.

but you won't do the same;

Sometimes when you’re young you think nothing can hurt you. It’s like being invincible. Your whole life is ahead of you and you have big plans. Big Plans. To find your perfect match, the one who completes you. But as you get older you realize it’s not always that easy. It’s not until the end of your life that you realize how the plans you made were simply plans. Because at the end when you’re looking back instead of forward you want to believe you made the most of what life gave you. You want to believe you’re leaving something good behind. You want it all to have mattered.

lonely?

"Try to be alone sometimes, it makes you realize where you stand in life, and what you are to others. It will strengthen you to face loneliness."

saw this tweet just now and i thought, is this useful? sometimes being alone means thinking a lot, and when i said a lot i meant a whole lot. besides, when you try to be alone, people might get the feeling that you're pushing them away and because of that, they'll leave. seriously, i've been alone for so long, i forgot how it actually feels when you have someone who's true to you by your side, even if it's your best friend. i lost my one and only true friend three years ago and it felt that i've lost everything. how do you think this will ever strengthen me to face loneliness? *sigh

20th february

five years ago, i was very naive. i was stubborn and didn't know better. i had this huge crush on this guy whom i actually liked a lot. i liked him for a few years i think. he used to have this smile which i would describe as the 1000-killer-watt-which-melts-my-heart smile or something like that. lol he was a good friend of my cousin's and we were in the same school. he's like four years older than me. oh gosh, looking back i really feel that i was very very dumb back then. but hey, at least there's something to laugh about now that i'm much older and uhh, matured. :P

:|

I wonder if i just disappeared, left school, deleted facebook and all my other shit im connected to, and just stoped talking to everyone. I wonder how they would all react? Would some be happy? Would they even care?

abercrombie shirt

guys should wear like this more often. you'll look so much better. but of course, do something with your hair as well. wearing this shirt would fit more with jeans and a pair of good looking shoes. converse would be okay too. and seriously, if you wear this i'd date you. whether you're a guy or a girl. ;)

speechless.

其实，我很累。
其实，一直没有人能够懂我。

我习惯了假装坚强，习惯了一个人面对所有。
我不知道自己到底想怎样？

有时候，
我可以很开心的和每个人说话。
可是没有人知道那不过是伪装，很刻意的伪装。

元宵节快乐！

yes, it's officially the last day of chinese new year. and yes, i'm devastated. i mean, fifteen days went by just like that *snaps fingers*! and i didn't have enough fun. well, not really. cause like first day of new year was on a thursday and kids have to go back to school on monday. which in fact was on the fifth day of new year. so four days wasn't really enough. although i did go visiting with my friends afterwards. but still, this was one of the best chinese new year ever. why? mainly because i had collected enough hong bao money. i've reached my target this year and i'm really glad. gonna be setting targets again next year. oh and did i mention that chinese new year next year falls on a monday. that means, nine days of school holidays for school kids and also my sister! *including the saturday and sunday before new year* then, we can visit more houses with my parents :DD

sweet.

to the guy who wrote this:

I am a guy, and I am very jealous of girls. Because, girls can hug, kiss and cuddle with each other without fear of being called as gay or lesbians. Girls share stories better with other girlfriends compared to guys who would rarely give a fuck of each others problems. Girls can gossip around and look cute and beautiful, rather than being dull, like most trying-to-look-macho guys. But then, I remembered that females get heartbroken real easily, fragile, weak, works a lot at home, get pregnant, get period pains and lots more problems than most men. And that’s the reason why boys exist. We exist to protect you girls out there, and its a shame that its hard to find a good guy nowadays. And I’m proud being a guy. Someday I’ll treat my wife better than a queen.

can i marry you?

情人节快乐！

happy valentine's day to all the chicks and dicks around the world. whether you're alone and heartbroken or happy with the love of your life, here's to a day filled with love, roses and chocolates. and candlelit dinners as well. wishing each and everyone of you reading this post all the best in your relationship with either your family, friends or lover. if you're single, go have fun. if you're committed, be contented with what you have.

p/s: this is the 9teenth year of being alone on valentine's day. dreadful but who cares, i'm still awesomeeee ;)

confusion.

Sometimes it seems the harder you try to hold onto something or someone the more it wants to get away. You feel like some kind of criminal for having felt, for having wanted. For having wanted to be wanted. It confuses you because you think that your feelings were wrong and it makes you feel so small because it’s so hard to keep it inside when you let it out and it doesn’t come back. You’re left so alone that you can’t explain.

- Henry Rollins

be nice.

祝我生日快乐！

happy birthday to me!
i'm finally turning 9teen. so this post is dedicated especially to me. how do i feel being older? not that fun i suppose. i mean, this year is my last year of having the number "1" on the front number. i should live life to the fullest this year, no matter what. and i hope that i can keep this promise of mine. seriously, i want to put all the bad memories and everything behind to start over. besides, it's still the beginning of new year and i should be happy right? and God has been blessing me for nineteen years now. He's given me wonderful parents and a lovely baby(to me that is) sister. we may not be rich but at least we have a place to stay, food to eat everyday, and clothes to wear. what more can i ask for, right? oh wait, there is. i wanna meet jay chou and marry him wei! anyone who can grant me this wish, i'll love you forever and ever. :DD

gone.

sorry for not blogging in the past two days. i wanted to but it's either i've been busy, sick or lazy. quite a lot have happened while i was gone. see, on wednesday, i was supposed to go visiting with my friends (yes, again. lol) but i was too lazy. but i did tell them that i'll be going to one house with them. so i did but ended up following them afterwards. good thing the houses that they went to afterwards were all in pujut area cause in the morning, they were up at airport road that area and it's like so faraway from my house. XD so i left the house and 1pm and came back at around 6pm? my house was the last stop and they all went back home after my house. it was a long afternoon but it was fun. four cars going visiting together. the past few times that we went visiting, it was like two cars only? lol

then yesterday, my mum called me at about 9.30am and asked me to go pick her up at noon. wanted to stay at home to watch tv though. lol so i went to pick her up and we went Bintang to buy some stuffs. after that, we went to see the doctor. yeah, like finally. my parents have been asking me to go since last week but i just don't want to. i guess my sickness have just gotten worse so i had no more choice. somehow, when i got home yesterday, my headache started to hurt so badly i swore i could've died from the pain. seriously, it hurt so much, i could hardly move. i felt so helpless. i went to sleep at about 6.30pm and woke up at 9.20pm or so when my mum came into my room to check on me. i waited for an hour to finally take my painkiller and went back to sleep. woke up again this morning at 7am. so overall, i slept for almost 12 hours and i felt just like a pig. lol but thank God my head doesn't hurt that much anymore. :')

achiever

There are a few things that success is not; success is not fame, money or power. Success is waking up in the morning so excited about what you have to do that you literally FLY out of the door. Success is getting to work with the people you love. Success is finding a way of connecting and binding them together. Success is connecting with the world. Success is falling asleep knowing you did the best you could. Success is joy, friendship and freedom. Success is LOVE.

first quarter of new year.

fifth day of chinese new year. went visiting with my friends again. it's been a really tiring day. been visiting with friends since yesterday. we went to five houses yesterday and today, we went to only four. so that's nine houses in total for two days. not bad huh? i guess we spend too much time at one house. or else we'd definitely be going to more than 10 houses.

then after visiting yesterday, some relatives came over to my house for dinner. yeah, mummy cooked some food and asked them to come eat. well, it's like a new year dinner for us family to gather together. and it's also because three of my cousins came back to miri. one coming back from perth and the other two from kl. mee jing came over too cause she was going back to kl soon and if we didn't ask her to come yesterday, we're afraid that we won't be seeing her anymore cause she's busy and we're busy. lol

then today, i went visiting with my friends until about 3pm something when i had to rush back home cause i'm going to pascal's house with my family. had dinner at his house and sent my sister to tuition. after that, daddy, mummy and i went to bintang. we went looking for specs cause i needed a new pair but in the end, it was mummy who bought one, not me. lol after looking at specs, daddy brought me to the clock store and asked me to find a watch that i like. i already knew he was gonna buy one for me cause he kept telling me that watches nowadays are cheap. which actually is not cheap to me. he just said that i won't feel bad about him buying me a watch. aww. in the end, i chose this very pretty watch which costs less than RM100. and i'm very satisfied with it. :DD

AHHH! another 10 more days and chinese new year will be over. gotta wait another year for it to come again. gosh, i just love the new year. i mean who doesn't, right? :)

that pleasant feeling.

you wanna know why i love chinese new year so much? it's not the amount of hong bao that i receive - well that is part of the reason too actually lol but it doesn't matter so much anyways, it's not because i get to wear my new clothes and certainly it is not because i can eat lots of (new year) food but the fact that i can spend the new year with my loved ones. as you know, people nowadays love to move here and there causing families, be it uncles and aunties or cousins or even siblings to be apart from each other. and when everyone gets busy with their own lives, they hardly stay in contact with other family members. for those who stay in neighbouring cities, there may be more chances of them meeting up with each other once in a while. but what about those that move faraway? like, one sibling can be living in Australia while the other might be halfway across the globe. how do you expect them to meet up all the time? so, new year is the time for families to come together, to celebrate with our loved ones and just to spend time together you know.

since the death of my grandparents from both sides of the family, we hardly come together anymore. although most of us are living in the same town, we don't see each other as often as we used to. and it's just really sad you know. my dad once said, (in mandarin) "once the older people of our family pass away, the younger generations will be separated sooner or later" and i believe that what he said was true. i remember about two weeks before my paternal grandmama died, all my aunties and uncles from all around the world came back to visit her. they even took a family photo together. without my late grandpapa that is. and to be honest, the last time i ever see my dad and every one of his siblings gather together was like, idk, maybe during the death of my grandpapa? which was like 10 years ago. or in that case where my grandmama was sick, 8 years back.

anyways, you get my point right? so yeah, i guess that's why i love chinese new year so much. but sad enough, right after the first day have passed, you can feel that chinese new year is ending soon. and we'd have to wait another year for it to come again. and i'm sure next year will be an awesome one, why? because first day of chinese new year falls on a monday! heck yeah. which means that the normal malaysian school holiday will be one week starting from the saturday before chinese new year. more days to bai nian, more days of fun! :D

options

Everything we do is a choice. Oatmeal or cereal, highways or sidestreets, kiss her or keep her. We make choices and we live with the consequences. if someone gets hurt along the way, we ask for forgiveness. It’s the best anyone can do.

- Pushing Daisies

stop for a minute.

third day of chinese new year and i'm still very euphoric. reached home about 1am in the morning and i slept for like 5 hours only? lol to be honest, i haven't been sleeping much at all in the past few days. been sleeping late and waking up early. although i was really tired, it was still worth it. why? just because it's chinese new year! lol

anyways, i went visiting with my family for the past two days and guess what? on the first day we went to seven houses. then on the second day, we supposedly planned to visit six houses. then it became eight and in the end, i went to eleven houses. heck yeah. i've been out practically the whole day. from like 8.30am all the way until 1am the next morning. lol actually we've already stopped at the eighth house. it was our last stop but coincidently, my friends are out visiting their classmate who lives on the same road as the house we were currently at. so i went out to talk to my friend which ended up with me going into the house to talk and following them to two more houses.

was so exhausted when i reach home. uploaded some of the pictures we took that night and went straight to bed. my mum kept asking me to sleep early cause in the morning, we're supposed to reach one of our church member's house by 8am and she lives at the other side of town. lol so yeah, we had to wake up early and leave the house early as well. omg

after that we had to rush to get ready as there were people coming over to our house for lunch. had some workshop people and my mum's birth mum's family over as well. speaking of workshop, there's this kinda chubby dude at the workshop who loves to ask me to drink. lol i remember last year at one of the mechanic's house, he kept asking me to drink beer. he opened idk how many cans of carlsberg for me to drink. good thing there wasn't any beer at home this year but then my dad took out some wine and he was like "amoi, minum!" so i had no choice but to drink. but i only took a mouthful and hurriedly went inside the house. XD but all in all, it was a really good afternoon despite me being in the kitchen washing all the dishes.

second day of cny.

it's only the second day of chinese new year and my stomach is not being nice to me. :( come on, today there's six houses to visit and at all the houses there's food(cooked food i mean) to eat. aihhh. sad sad. chinese new year is meant for us people to eat and receive hong baos(non married ppl) and also have lots of fun. not becoming sick and wake up at 2am to go to the toilet. OMG but it's good also like that. i don't have to eat so much anymore. since my stomach is not feeling well, i'll have to stop eating oily things. besides, i've already eaten so much yesterday that it's enough to last two days. lol

anyways, yesterday was amazing. i loved yesterday. although it was really tiring since i didn't have enough sleep, i was really satisfied. we went to seven houses to visit. there was food at some of the houses and it's all delicious. i think i ate the most at my mum's god mother's house. there was masak hitam, curry, kacangma, some unknown named food and most importantly, there was 芋头扣肉！idk why but i've been craving for it lately. and this year my mum decided to cook it for me. it was good but problem is, it's too sweet. i mean the gravy. but when you eat it with the meat and yam and rice, it tastes just right. and well, when i ate the one at my mum's god mother's house it tasted really good. feels like the one i used to eat all the time at my grandma's house during chinese new year. ahhh. *flashbacks* LOL then in the evening, we went to my mum's "actual" family and there were lots of faces that i saw for the first time. i have another 16 cousins over there but not all were present last night. it was kinda awkward at first cause i didn't know anyone else there except for grandma and some aunts. we were there for more than two hours and it just feels really nice. even my sister didn't complain or anything. she even told me "i never called yiyi(referring to aunties from mum's side) before". awww. so sad to hear that. but at least she got the chance now.

and another thing is the hong baos. i received 17 i think yesterday and well, it was great. i love getting hong baos then going home to check how much money i got. and guess what? i'm very satisfied with the amount i got. i think this year i might receive the highest amount of money compared to the last 18 years. no, i'm serious about this. but that's what i think. cause last time, my mum used to be the one guarding the money and everything so i wouldn't really know the actual amount. but this year, i'm gonna count it all by myself. lol so far, i've already got a few hundred bucks and yesterday was just the first day! hopefully my stomach will be much nicer to me later and the next few days, and hopefully i do not become lazy so i can go visit with my friends and get more hong baos. :D

btw, below is a conversation between me and my dad last night. we were drinking beer and this is one part of our conversation which i thought was funny. fyi, this is sort of direct translate from chinese. XD

dad: you want some more (beer)?
me: aiyah, don't want drink so much lah. later my face become very red ah. (it's already red)
dad: i share with you lah.
me: ok loh. eh why your face not red?
dad: my face not so fast red one. i need to drink maybe at least 7 or 8 tins then it'll be red.
me: is it? where got like that one? but later your drunk ah.
dad: i where got so fast drunk. last time i drink beer one go one go like that also not drunk. drink xo also no problem. no drunk.
me: HAHA. that was last time mah. now leh, mana boleh?
dad: now? no need drink ah. i smell it also drunk already.
me: ...

兔年快乐！

it's officially february.

my favourite time of the year has come again. other than the fact that chinese new year is in february, i somehow kinda really like this month a lot. maybe it's cause the new year is usually in this month, also because my birthday is coming - not that i'm excited about getting older or anything, and also because usually the start of the year is like the slacking time of the year. in school(kindergarten, primary, secondary), the hard work usually come in march. besides, valentine's coming soon too! no idea why i'm so hyped up about it cause i've been celebrating valentine's alone for the past 8teen(soon to be 9teen) years. -_______-" LOL but still, it's like the best time of the year. in addition to that, now that i'm in university and well, our semester breaks follow the australian calendar, which means that we have holidays from november all the way until february. yes you heard me right. school holidays in february. isn't that just great? :D

anyways, there's this trend going on twitter lately which is #februarywish and well, i think it's a great trend and i'm thinking of listing down all my wishes for this month. so yeah, let's start with the very first one: my february wish is for everything to go smoothly for the rest of the year. second, i want a brand new set of beats by dr dre! my third wish is to have a peaceful birthday. fourth, let school be better than what i've expected. and fifth(yes, this is my last wish. don't wanna be so greedy :P), let me get lots of hong bao this year. i'm really in need of money at the moment T_T

so yeah, that's all about february. and before i end this post, i wanna wish everyone reading this a blessed chinese new year. HUAT AHHH! :D
