My latest project

2008-12-10T09:17:00.004+08:00

Well, there's a few things that had been going on lately, and one of our latest project is to make earrings and sell them.

With my cousins on holidays and currently looking for jobs, I have proposed that we could make some earrings to sell online. In just a week, yes we have made many beautiful earrings but we could not still decide on the name of our online "store".

We need a catchy name, with chic-ly tune as well as something that will represent what we do. Complicated aren't we? But the fact is the name will stay with us and I hope to grow this pet project of us to a higher level.

Let's pray that we get inspiration and will get things rolling ASAP.

I know....

2008-12-05T16:54:00.000+08:00

I know I would need to update the blog more often, and yes I will do it...

Currently trying to re-skin my blog. Will add in the rest of the background soon.
Stay tune!!

Wedding Bells

2008-10-09T18:11:00.000+08:00

During my Trinity years, we used to guess who are the people who will get married first and we kept teasing each other. Those were the days when most of us were still single.

Six years later, one of my closest friend got married and definitely the sequences that we have guessed was no longer important. The friendships evolved over the years and we saw each other grew.

This year, was no exception.

After attending a friend's grand wedding this year (she really had a GRAND wedding), we have another two to attend end of the year, where they are one month apart. I believe theirs would be very grand as well, as they have spent a lot on it.

First of all, the invitation cards were all special, unique and erm... grand. I can't seem to find other words that will fit this, but will definitely take a picture of it later. Then one of them even have 12 bridesmaid!!!!

Someone did ask me, have I actually thought about my wedding. Honestly I have not really think about it. It is irony, I used to think about how my funeral would be, but not my wedding. Maybe perhaps I knew I would definitely die, but whether I will get married or not is still a question.

Oh well, we shall wait and see. :)

Judgement Day

2008-08-28T23:22:00.003+08:00

tomorrow... will be the judgement day!

I m happy, that I will be seeing the doctor. Hopefully everything goes well and I can take the cast off soon, then I can be less dependant on everyone. I hope to get well faster, and able to help. Being pampered is fun but not being able to help is also annoying! Hope my darling is ok.

And the other thing is that I would need to see my MD tomorrow. Looks like she would want to retain me and hence need to talk to her tomorrow. Hopefully everything is ok.

Yes, less than 12 hours, my hand would be less heavy!

Injured

2008-08-25T01:29:00.002+08:00

currently the injured one...

for two weeks being home, I had the olympics keeping me occupied, what about the next four weeks... i wonder

now the table has turn around, i m the one who is free and not busy anymore. I could afford to sleep late, wake up late and do what ever i want to, but i guess i have to learn to sleep early, wake up early so i could follow other people paces of life...

i wish i could sleep early, i wish i didnt need to wake up every night, feeling that I m having a hot flush, feeling that my back is ache and couldnt turn; well... I guess this is the price to pay for recover... I wish i get well faster

learning to cope with one hand is easier than coping with it emotionally. being too free, trying not to trouble everyone, I hope for the next few weeks I will give less trouble, but yet I admit, i m also attention seeker.

I should be grateful...
grateful that i have so many ppl who care for me
grateful that it is my left arm, and just fractured
grateful that i have been given the attention needed
grateful that i got the opportunity to quit my job
grateful for almost everything
but i feel something is missing......and i do not know what...

maybe i m not easy to get satisfied? or am i too easily satisfied?
yes, i m grateful =)

finally

2008-08-04T15:08:00.001+08:00

Well, I have always been saying that I want to sack my boss and it has been a while since everyone heard me saying it. Finally today I told Jinny that I am not keen in continuing and well, it sort of took the burden away from me.

We'll see what awaits in the future.

Anyone wants to venture into a business??

Bored

2008-06-26T13:49:00.002+08:00

am currently at work and bored of work...

Well, I have always been wondering if this is the right work for me, and I guess I am feeling differently to what I felt previously. Everyday I look forward to 530 and every week I can't wait for Fridays to come.

I am seriously considering......

What would be good next?

I ALMOST GOT SNATCHED!

2008-06-17T09:43:00.002+08:00

I can't believe I could be the next victim of snatch thieves! I almost got snatched yesterday by 2 person in a motorcycle.

My colleague and I was walking on the road next to Sungai Wang early in the morning. After picking up a call, I decided to hold my mobile on one hand whilst my handbag on the other shoulder. Little did I know that someone was already eyeing on me. They came, and my colleague Jasmine who was on the inner side of the road pulled me when they tried to snatch my bag. Fortunately (unfortunately for them) I was alright but my arm was scratch a little. Lucky me! I only managed to take down his number plate - 8606 but not the front alphabets, which doesnt mean a lot too.

Anyway, I told mum to buy the 4-D numbers for me and let's hope that I will strike a lottery today!

pfft

Updates

2008-04-09T12:15:00.000+08:00

I just got back from my long trip and I should be doing some work here, but I end up surfing and reading people's blog and realised, it is high time I should update my blog.

I was in India, mainly Mumbai and New Delhi. Before I left, everytime when I mentioned that I will be going to India, 10 out of 10 1st reaction would be "Oh My God, what a place! DON'T DRINK any tap water, just BOTTLED mineral water," I thought, Wow, it must be horrible.

Within a week of settling my own plane ticket and visa arrangement (aunt was complaining about me needing to do all this on my own), off I go to a land with huge difference between the rich and the poor. My trip was spent in the hotels, assisting (more accurately, look pretty as I had nothing to do) with the client. I didn't do any sight-seeing, not being able to even visit the famous Taj Mahal, but we stayed at the Taj Mahal Hotel (ah, what a consolation). I was glad though I did not need to expose myself to the polluted city in Mumbai with bad air and noisy streets. This reminds me of my trip to Guang Zhou 15 years ago where taxi drives conquered the roads with the endless honks. Besides, you could really see the differences of the rich and poor, where the later lived in barracks/sheds which I thought they were construction sites! No proper shelter and sanitasion. Well, we are all very lucky on this site of the world, aren't we!

After the hectic trip i headed off to Singapore, spent time with my aunty and cousin (my darling complained all the weekend that I did not get back to Malaysia to see him, sob). It was a good weekend I must say as I get to rest but on the other hand, I miss him badly too. Later was training in Singapore with David Reddin and rushed back to KL right after that.

Immediately after we arrived in KL, I rushed home, unpacked-repacked and off to KT & Redang. It was a wonderful trip as it is the first time my darling came with me and we celebrated my birthday. Thank you :) Photos will be up soon.

Well, now back to work and luckily or unluckily I have to ogranised our company trip... grrr.... Phuket, here I come!

Which one?

2008-03-03T09:34:00.002+08:00

I am considering changing my phone as the current phone is giving me some problem scrolling for names. Besides, I would prefer a camera phone this time round in which I can take more pictures.

So, after looking into the designs and specs, I have these to choose from:

I still think I like N96 due to the functions, but design wise I prefer Xperia.....

Melbourne

2008-02-27T06:20:00.001+08:00

Just got back from Melbourne a few days ago and I am still recovering from the tiredness.

I was being asked by many people for the reason of me going to Melbourne this time and after giving them the answer, they all couldn't understand my actions.

Yes yes yes, my sisters could have done the work themselves and settled down but again being the big sister, I still couldn't resist helping them such that they have a peace of mind - to study and to enjoy student life. I guess my job is done. They should be able to carry on from here and look after themselves.

Within the last 10 days, I must really thank my buddy - Tiong Eng for his help. I couldn't have done many things without his help. Until even now, he is still helping me to settle some stuff for sis. Not to forget, my exhsemate who lent us his room + apartment for almost a week before we could get our own apartment, and his car for me to do all the shopping around.

Of course there were bad things that happened over the 10 days - the trouble with apartment, electricity and now phone line... Well but let's just pray that everything will be fine from here onwards.

Travelling reminder

2008-01-31T19:35:00.000+08:00

The next time when you drive down to Singapore, REMEMBER to...

1. Bring your passport
2. Bring your toileteries including your contact lenses casing
3. Check everything you need

and most important of all...

ENSURE THAT YOU RENEW YOUR ROAD TAX!

Well, it was a memorable experience this time for not having a valid road tax and we took 4 more hours before we could reach Singapore. That was 5 am!

Life

2008-01-25T11:22:00.000+08:00

Over the week, I have again experienced what life is.

I have seen, how fragile life is; one moment everything seems fine, the next moment, *snap* it disappears! Yes, life is short. You won't know what will happen the next second and we can never predict.

I have also seen, how strong life is; the bonding of brothers and friendship, the ability to hold hands together. It's amazing of how people start to help each other during bad times, and this is when you see who your true friends are.

I guess we need to embrace life, the relationship, the chances and occasions.

Life is the greatest gift given to us, for us to see, taste, smell, hear, touch and feel and I have experienced them all, be it good or bad, sweet or sour. I know there's more for me in the future and I look forward for moments of my life.

Nonetheless, if I need to leave, I have no fear and regrets as I live my life to its fullest.

A Picture is Worth A Thousand Words...

2008-01-20T22:27:00.000+08:00

Well, does that mean, if I have 3 pictures, its worth 3 thousand words?

Crocodile strikes again. Muahaha! Super evil grin! Evil Laughter. Even more sly looking eyes!

Crocodile and the Deer

2008-01-07T13:57:00.000+08:00

Wow, crocodiles are hungry creatures. They could eat up a whole deer!! Poor deer...

At a second thought, maybe the deer is still alive and the crocodile is guiding and bringing the deer to the other side of the river bank since deer can't swim? How sweet...

Bear with me, I am deaf!

2008-01-07T13:54:00.000+08:00

I have always wanted to check my ears as I have been suspecting that I have hearing problems. Hence, I walked into Sountex yesterday and the result has shown that I do have some hearing loss.

So the results are shown on the audiogram. Normal hearing would be able to hear at around 0 to 20dB. However mine was below normal - the red line.

Now that explains why I have problem hearing.

Hail 2008!

2008-01-03T11:15:00.000+08:00

I must say, I quite enjoy 2007 to a certain extend.

It started well and ended well. Of course there were ups and downs, good times and bad times, but I will definitely remember them.

2008 started with a bang!

It is my first year, spending the NYE with someone else but my family, and I must admit i enjoyed it a lot. I thank you, for bringing soo much joy for the past few days and I hope there are more to come. (I know you are reading this *wink*)

Seriously, I have not thought about what my New Year's Resolutions are, I have no idea what they would be. However considering that I am working, of course my aim is to make more money! Then maybe... stay healthy and of course to stay happy. Perhaps also start blogging a little more (& food blog?) and spend quality time with people around me =).

Well, we'll see how I shall survive 2008.

Hail 2008, here I come!

It's been a while

人间有情三则 and I believe in Miracle

2005-09-07T07:46:00.000+08:00

1. Two weeks ago, as I was preparing to buy my tram ticket, a lady gave me her daily tram ticket and left. Such a sweet and wonderful lady. How many of you have ever thought of giving your 2 hours ticket or even leaving behind your short trip ticket? See, a small gesture like her made me feel that there is still hope in this mankind!

2. I had a sleepless night last night and one of the reasons was that I thought I had lost my necklace. I searched for it in my whole house but I couldn't find it. Just then I called Fitness First, and YES the lady immediately told me that someone picked it up at the gym and handed it back. WOW, she really made my day. I felt miracle, I felt hope. I felt that there is still kind people around!

3. I am grateful and glad that I have helpful friends. As I call for help from most of my friends, to come and support me for the annual CTG mandarin production, I am glad that a lot of them are soo willing to help. Their presence and support meant sooo much to me and I would like to take this opportunity to thank them all! - Liyen, Hankiong, Eeyong, Honshen, Bingyan, Tiongeng, Sweesan, Peyjung, Puili, JK, Winnie, Sherly, Yuyuen, Peiwah, Aiwei, Coper, Bernard, Jenny, Luke, Kweechin, and Minjun!
Many of them, when I called, they promised straight away and THANKS! I am grateful that I have met wonderful people like you. Will never know how to repay this!

Miracles happen - I believe in miracle!

Help needed

2005-09-05T19:21:00.000+08:00

well..I have never done this on my blog..but currently I am doing this, hoping that anyone of you who reads this and are in Melbourne, I SERIOUSLY NEED SOME HELP..

I need to sell tickets for my CTG production, in which my friends and I had been working through since the beginning of the year. I hope all of you can come and support the show, and help me buy tickets.

Well..we are currently selling only less than 10% of our total sales, which is bad..and really bad. I sincerely hope that you will come and support CTG's Shakespeare's masterpiece - 12th Night!

10 days...240 hours...time really flies...

Food, food, food, assignment, assignment, assignment...and the company...

4.5 years...54 months..

I will remember those good times, those crazy acts, those funny moments...and the ups and downs that we have gone through.

My room is back to normal, no longer full, no extra beds, no extra quilts...no extra clothes and lugages...and I feel the difference! However, I know what's the most important thing is that the friendships that we have shared, the quality of time that we had spent...those are priceless and nothing could have been better than knowing such a good friend.

Life goes on...

Ridiculous and Irony

2005-06-18T07:37:00.000+08:00

OMG....THIS IS SOOO CRAZY....

"...RMIT is also planning to give free iPods containing course details to its students as competition grows among universities to cater for young gizmo addicts....."If it's on your mobile and your train's delayed you can catch the start of the lecture. If you have to leave the lecture early you can catch the end of it on the way home."....Prof Chris Bigum said Deakin University, which was one of the first to send out exam results by SMS, was looking at downloading lectures to iPods and MP3 players...."

BUT!!!!....""We much prefer that students attend lectures," Melbourne University's Professor Peter McPhee said......"

What has the world gone to? Ipods, MP3 Players and mobile phones for lectures? DO we seriously need it? Where has human interaction gone to? Very often I believe technology is a killer. Children today are too engross in their computer games that they lack of passion in life, they have poorer communication skill and less common sense. Some even end up falling in love with the virtual world and are detached from the real world. No real friends, no team work, no life.

How Irony...because I would personally think that education is not just getting the knowledge, it is about facts of life! It is about morale and humanity, it is about how we talk to others and how we bring out ourselves. With technology being integrated in our education system, I really symphathy future students who would miss out the best thing in their uni lives - to meet up with friends and have fun!

for more details, read the article below..

From Herald Sun 18 June 2005

Mobile phone tutorials possible
Liam Houlihan
youth reporter
18jun05

GETTING a diploma from the comfort of bed, a bar stool or the beach could become a reality as universities prepare to beam lectures to students' mobile phones.

Those facing the eternal student dilemma of waking up seconds before their lecture starts would be just a keystroke away from virtual attendance under the scheme.
Victoria's five main universities -- Melbourne, RMIT, Deakin, Monash and LaTrobe -- are monitoring the technology with a view to implementing it in the future.

RMIT is also planning to give free iPods containing course details to its students as competition grows among universities to cater for young gizmo addicts.

Under the virtual lectures scheme, lessons would be filmed on digital video then transmitted to students' mobiles that carry sound and moving images.

Existing 3G technology also makes live real-time broadcasts possible.

Many of the state's larger universities already film lectures and make them available online for students who can't attend.

Nick Brignell, 25, said the idea of being a "doctor of doonas or bachelor of bar stools" sounded great and every student he knew would go for it.

The business marketing student said he missed a lecture once every three weeks due to sleeping in, a big night out or public transport delays.

"Ninety-five per cent of students miss lectures," he said.

"If it's on your mobile and your train's delayed you can catch the start of the lecture. If you have to leave the lecture early you can catch the end of it on the way home."

LaTrobe University acting Vice-Chancellor Graham McDowell said students were working longer hours and spending less time on campus, which could make the idea attractive to them.

"I expect almost all students have a mobile phone, but not all would have their own computer," he said.

But those who believe there is no equal for face-to-face interaction are less besotted with the idea.

"We much prefer that students attend lectures," Melbourne University's Professor Peter McPhee said.

At RMIT students are so reliant on technology they unplug the cafeteria's vending machines to recharge their laptops and PDAs, RMIT's head of IT Services, Allan Morris, said.

He said the university was looking at copying an American scheme where students received iPods packed with university information tailored to their courses.

"I'd be surprised if there were any universities not looking at going down the mobile track.

"We're seriously looking at all these things because everybody is looking at how they market themselves to students," he said.

The universities all said they would monitor the lectern-to-phone system. They said extending existing online technology to phones would not be complex.

Some said future universities would emerge that would not be campus-based but exist only in cyberspace.

Prof Chris Bigum said Deakin University, which was one of the first to send out exam results by SMS, was looking at downloading lectures to iPods and MP3 players.

Traffic Lights

2005-06-17T19:42:00.000+08:00

I had been sticking my butt to the chair from day to night lately...and when I am bored, I would look out to the window.

Especially late in the night when there is no traffic... I could see the traffic lights across the road...and my mind wonders...

Life is like the traffic lights. When we were in primary school, we had to finish tones of homeworks because we were not given green lights to play...we grew up most of the time at home because red lights were there to curfew us at home. As we grow older, thinking that the red lights had changed to yellow lights, we thought we could fly. However, it has been the red lights that stopped us from doing a lot of things. We had to meet dead lines for assignments and study for exams because that is the only green lights from lecturers.

Alright, I am crapping...suffering from shoulder-ache for a few days. I think I need a good massage after exam and a super good pillow! (Don't think i can finish studying for APC....sigh)

Mood Analysis Test Results

Mood Analysis Test Results

Is it that you are working - or even playing - too hard? Because it would seem that you are experiencing a great deal of pent-up emotion at this time which could possibly take effect and lead to irrational behavior.

You are a very warm and emotional individual but unfortunately in the past too many people have taken advantage of this sensitive trait. You need aesthetic surroundings, or an equally sensitive and understanding partner with whom to share a warm understanding.

Although you are, deep down, a very caring person, you are very particular in the choice of friends and indeed very demanding at times. You can be most quarrelsome and controversial and it is because of this argumentative trait you can at times explode into open conflict - conflict with even those you may care for and love. It is because of this inherent argumentative streak in you that may have resulted in broken hopes and dreams.

You are presently experiencing excessive stress as a result of self-restraint. You act and think differently from the common herd and you want to be liked and admired for yourself and to associate with people who feel and act as you do. Because of this need to be self-reliant and to break away from mediocrity, you are finding this situation most uncomfortable and you are experiencing considerable anxiety - perhaps even more than you feel the capacity to cope with. You need to find a 'soul mate', someone whose standards are as high as your own - but where? Keep on searching... The situation is uncomfortable and you would like to break away from it, but you refuse to compromise with your opinions. You are unable to resolve the situation because you are continually postponing the making of necessary decisions. You are stubborn but this is no deterrent to a happy life, so why drop your standards. Think positively, everything will work out. It has worked out successfully for you in the past and it will again in the future.

The tensions induced by trying to cope with conditions which are beyond your capabilities, or your reserves of strength, have led to considerable anxiety and a sense of personal inadequacy. Your inability to take control of the situation causes you to over-react in stubborn defiance blaming everyone but yourself for your own failures.

你们的照顾、关怀以及友谊会是我毕生难忘。。。

Dry Hands

2005-06-05T13:04:00.000+08:00

I am having dry hands currently, so dry that I have cuts all over. It is a trouble, because I have to keep moisturising it and it hurts. The only good thing is LiYen permits me (gives me MC) for not doing the dishes..HAHAHA...YEAH!

Just a note: I put too much Evening Primrose Oil on my hands earlier and hence couldn't do anytihng for the past few hours -because i refuse to wash the oil away...(I am not sure whether I didn't want to waste the EPO or I wanted to use it as an excuse to procastinate)

-------------------------------------------------------------
They hurt, burn, and are often as dry as the Mojave Desert. Most folks refer to them as dishpan hands, but you don’t even have to wash dishes to suffer from them.

Several factors can cause your hands to dry up. Living in an extremely dry climate, like Phoenix, can be a beautiful but dehydrating experience. The dry air absorbs the natural moisture throughout the body, including in your hands. And of course, several everyday chores can be hazardous to your hands’ health, including dish washing, laundry, housecleaning, and bathing of grandchildren. These chores often involve the use of chemical agents such as household cleansers and solvents that damage and dry out your hands. Just the act of washing your hands also robs them of moisture.

Even if you don’t expose them to hot water and chemicals, your hands tend to get drier with age. That’s because your body loses some of its moisture with each passing year, says Dee Anna Glaser, M.D., assistant professor of dermatology at the St. Louis University School of Medicine. “Skin loses some of its thickness and water-retaining ability over time, even without aggravating factors like a really dry climate or constant contact with cleaning solutions,” says Dr. Glaser.

Unless they get so dry that they crack and bleed, dry hands are more nuisance than nightmare. And there are ways you can bring moisture back into those dehydrated digits.

Try This First

Make lotion your favorite potion. Every time you wash your hands, put on a little moisturizer afterward, says Dr. Glaser. With every washing, you’re removing moisture-encasing oils from your hands as well as dirt and grime. By applying a hand lotion, you replenish those lost oils and keep your skin from drying out. “Find a hand lotion that you like and keep it near your sink and in your purse or desk, so that you can apply it to your hands after each time you wash them,” says Dr. Glaser.

Over-the-counter lotions do just fine, says Stephen Schleicher, M.D., co-director of the Dermatology Center in Philadelphia. He recommends any of the following for his patients: Alpha Keri, Aquaderm, Aquaphor, Complex 15, Curel, Cutemol, Dermasil, Derma Centre, Eucerin, Keri, Lubriderm, Oil of Olay, Pen-Kera, and UltraDerm.

Other Wise Ways

Soften your soaps. The harsher the soap, the more oils and moisture you’ll strip from your hands. Dr. Glaser suggests that you wash your hands with a gentle hand cleanser such as Dove or Oil of Olay. These soaps contain emollients, which are agents that soften or smooth the skin.

Oil ’em up. To buy a simple hand cream at the cosmetics department of your local department store, you might have to pay a small fortune. But just stroll down the vegetable oil aisle in the supermarket to find a hand moisturizer that’s just as good and a lot less expensive. Regular vegetable shortening like Crisco soothes cracked, dry hands, Dr. Glaser says. To get the most out of the oil, rub it over your hands at night before you go to bed. Then put on a pair of old gloves. Not only will the gloves save you from ruining your linens but also they will force the oil to penetrate your skin, she says.

Wear washup gloves, too. You often put your hands into terrible conditions: hot water, bathroom cleaners, ammonia, bleach. Protect them from the ravages of such harsh substances by wearing a pair of vinyl gloves with cotton liners. The vinyl outside keeps the water off your hands, while the cotton liner absorbs sweat so that your hands won’t get wet inside. Wear them whenever you wash dishes or use any other possible irritants such as chemicals and cleaning products.

Tap into water. Drink at least eight glasses of water per day, says Dr. Glaser. Dry hands are the result of a lack of moisture in the skin, so not drinking enough water may aggravate dryness in the hands.

Exam Blues

2005-06-04T17:50:00.000+08:00

Sigh...Exams again and I am worried for friends who are currently depress. I supposed it is the same for everyone - to procastinate, many start to think of negative issues which often lead to bad mood...

I seriously understand where they come from, however, I would just think, these are all part of life...life is never perfect and neither would we be problems free. One way is to NOT think about nonsense, the other is to look at things in a different way. It is just like saying the bucket is half full instead of the bucket is half empty.

I wish everyone best of luck and I love those special friends that I have...and I am grateful to have them to be there for me...You know who you are! hahaha...

Schapelle Corby's case

2005-06-04T16:47:00.000+08:00

http://www.xanga.com/item.aspx?user=wonlay&tab=weblogs&uid=271060525

Regarding this issue, I think I would stand neutral. No matter what the decision is, there will be noises everywhere..

With the 20 years jail sentence, apparently some Indonesians think that it is too little for Corby and are demanding for a death sentence. However for the Australians, even with the 20 years jail sentence, they think that she is innocent and should NOT be even jail!

I suppose you can't please everyone. The truth lies within those who has done it and I just hope that they could stand up and admit it.

A lesson well learnt

2005-02-05T03:23:00.000+08:00

wow...I have not been blogging even though I have been free lately. Well, I firgured out that, people either blog when they are too free, or when they are trying to procastinate, and I think I am the later! Hahaha..so sorry guys, the blogger and procastinater is back!

Well, anyway, was talking to my dad's friends after dinner, and I have to admit, it was a wonderful night, a night well spent and lessons well learnt. We were talking about views in life, and seriously, I have to admit what Uncle Marvin and Uncle Boon said..respect! Respect your friends and the people around you, no matter who they are, respect them for what they are. Even if they are doing something that you don't agree, RESPECT. RESPECT and RESPECT. You cannot force them do what you think is right, you can only give advice, which is quite true, because they are who they are!

YES, it is soo true..many times, I realised when I start giving advice, I tend to have expectations on the person and I get upset if the person didn't listen. I never ever did stand on other people's feet and think of them. My advice and judgement might be from my perspective, but they are the people who are experiencing it. I have to respect their decision and judgement. Respect them! and the friendship will last!

expansive sport

2004-12-13T15:04:00.000+08:00

Since 14, I have been indulging in an expansive sport - scuba diving. I consider myself lucky, being able to dive at a young age and in many places.

The feeling of gearing up, getting myself ready is something i dreaded most. Especially if the wetsuit is still damp and I had to wear it, very often I find myself feeling being wrapped up. However, the anticipation of jumping into the water and being near to the sea creatures are my motivations.

Wearing the clumsy equipment, looking like a human with duck legs, I knew the sea would welcome my presence. Whether I walk into the sanctury with a giant strike or do a back row, it does not really matter, what matter most is the 45 - 80 minutes that I spend in the sea.

This trip in Bunakken and Manado is one of the best trip. This trip itself, is one of the most enriching experience. For the first time, I handled a video camera under water; for the first time, I experienced up-current (which was a very special experience); and for the first time, I saw a lot of different creatures, my favourite being the devil ray and the Wunderpuss (mimic octopus).

I am now looking forward to dive in Cebu next year (in The Phillipines) and let's pray hard that I have the chance to get there.

Family 家

2004-10-10T08:16:00.000+08:00

It has been a while since I last written anything, and the last few weeks have been a nightmare for me. I don't know if it is just me, being careless or it is just the luck, I have lost a lot of my precious things. Thanks to those that were there to give me support, to listen to my cries, to wipe my tears, to go through all the hell with me...thanks to Angelene, Moon, Tiongeng, Aunty Peggy, Karine, Kerhoong, my housemates...you have been just wonderful. I am still grieving for the losses of my purses, my favourite mug, my necklaces but yeah, I have came in terms of it already.

It was good to be with CTG last night. At least it brightened up my weekend. The review was not very inviting. I was warned that the show is boring, lousy, not interesting......and surprisingly, I find the play excellent! It is a great breaktrhough for CTG to produce Jia, after a contemparory play - Crouching Husband Hidden Wife (金屋藏公） and a musical - I have a Date with Spring (我和春天有个约会）. They are all unique in their own way and uncomparable.

Jia, is a classic piece written by BaJin （巴金）and edited by CaoYu （曹禺）. The verses were well written, and the play structure well organised. Well, I have to admit that the flow might be slow, but there's how the play is. Overall the acting is not bad, especially Yu Tong. I have seen her acting in all the 3 plays, and I must say, her acting has improved a lot. From an excellent actress to a super outstanding actress, I believe she would bring her skills out to the stage outside and would be one of the famous actress. She deserve an Oscar if there was one. She was full of emotion, full of energy and vibrant in her. She brought the strong character out as a supportive and understanding wife. She truely potrayed a lady in the olden days.

There were some funny characters, like David and Coper. They added spices to the show. David's childish face, and Coper's crazy comments, must have woken a lot of sleeping audience. Not to forget, the 三姑六婆 characters as well. It is kinda funny to listen to how they talk, because if we look back on ourselves, we talk about other people as well....funny...they bitch, they crap...and this was actually how rich ladies then enjoyed their days.

As how love stories go, they could not run away from any hugging and tears. The scene when the 3rd son was hugging is lover who is the family's slave, there was a LOUD sigh in front of my row. Upon hearing the sigh, I burst into laughter in the middle of the serious scene. I mean, I could understand this guy - NOT another of this 婆婆妈妈 scene...but hey, this is the scene that needed to show the strong bond lof love. It was kinda embarassing, especially when the whole theater was concerntrating.

I was impressed by the costume and have to admit that the whole team did an excellent job. All the cheongsam, samfus were beautiful and I know, were not easy to find in Melbourne. But these people managed to find everything that was needed. The props and the sets as well, they managed to potray a house in the early days within the budget. There were wedding bed, antique vase and furnitures, 梅花, up to simple props like chinese calligraphy sets and tea sets. They all fit in the small stage. The lighting was ok, and the sound was alright, which I think there should be more room for improvement. The makeup was good, and the subtitled has improved enormously. The production team I have to say, has done a great job!

Many people didn't like the show, which I truely understand why - the flow. But one have to bear in mind that you can't compare it with the funny Crouching Husband Hidden Wife and the entertainning I have a Date with Spring. This is a classic, an oriental Shakespear...and they all have their speciality.

Great job, CTG. I felt the warmness of the 家 .

I have no one to blame but myself

Spring break

2004-09-26T08:17:00.000+08:00

Wow, it sounds like I had (and being invited to) endless parties during this holidays!

It is all Moon's fault!!!! Her party, Julie's party (which I didnt't attend), followed by a seafood party, Eileen Cocktail party (which also I didn't attend), then Kerhoong's 21st tonight, and then Tiong Eng's mooncake party on Tuesday night....and I am still sick.

Let's see, what else did I do this holidays? Went to the moral society (德教会) and experienced people writing on sand. It was simply 妙！Two people were to hold the stick and words will be writen on the sand, and the words make sense. I tried, my stick moved but no words came out. I couldn't concerntrate...

You Yun came down from Adalaide, was a surprise because I didn't even know he is currently in Australia. Met up with him the night before he was supposed to leave. After meeting us (the Terengganuians) he decided to ditch his friends and stay for another 2 days. We ended up renting a car and went to the tulip farm and St Kilda, ate good food - spicy quails, peking duck, Gluttony, Shark Fin House Dim Sum. He enjoyed the food much more than the sight seeing...Funny...as if Malaysians' are deprive of food! Or rather, we all live to eat and not eat to live!

More to come next week, and it sounds like it is not going to be a STUDY HOLIDAY just like what I was planning...*sob sob*..Cindy called me up and asked me to help out in her shop.....a part time job, got income, but not enough time to STUDY..dilema dilema.....

********

I am suspecting that I am down with hay fever, it all started after the trip to the tulips farm. I am not too sure because I have no history of it, but cross my fingers that it is just flu!

May My Prayers be Answered

2004-09-12T18:21:00.000+08:00

Phew..this is the end of the week...I am sad, but yet relieved.

Sad because time flies...sad because there are still sooo much to do and yet I didn't get a lot done, and to add salt to the wound, more work coming, piling up. I don't know when would I ever finish those difficult calculations.. I was telling Jason, I am counting all mortality rates everyday, and probably by the end of the day, I am soo tired that I die earlier..or maybe one day I should actually count my own...Jason said his motarlity rate would be low, he doesn't smoke, he doesn't drive fast, healthy life..bla bla bla..and I am predicting that mine would be faster, even I am a female (statistically, female has lower mortality rate compared to male). And those endless cleaning up...I never understand why I end up cleaning the house every now and then, why I end up trying to get myself organised every day....I sort of spend some time filing my stuff, cleaning my room, clearing up the living room, laundry, cook, clean the kitchen..all the chores....I really wished I have a kakak here...Despite of all these...I still make mooncake (don't even understand why I did it, even I am soo busy).

But I am glad it is over. I am hoping that tomorrow, when the new week starts, I have a nice and wonderful week ahead...This week, I have been worrying shit...worrying about a depressed friend..worrying that he falls tooo deep into depression...tried to help him, but he sort of refused to be helped... I am also concerned about a friend who is eating less and less. I am worried that he will end up Anorexic, which I don't want it to happen. Having a friend last time who used to be one, is hard enough, crying and going through all that...if there is another friend who end up like that, I don't think I could even pull through all the emotional stress... and I had a mid sem test last week and I don't think I could even score full marks...Spent too much time worrying about other people that I wished I could stop that and start to worry about myself...By the end of the week, I thought everything is over, I start to care about another friend who has lost her self-confidence...who has tried to run away from her worse fear...who has been trying to fool herself by thinking that she will fool the whole world...I hope she is feeling much more motivated after all the scolding and insight of what I thought...Well, and having other friends who are facing some friendships crisis....trying to help them, but there seems that I cannot do much....all I could do is to listen and to give insight of how to cope with it...it is still up to them to work it out! There are more.....but yeah....I guess everyone has their ups and downs

Well...I am sooo exhausted....but anyway, I pray that all my friends....that they could cope with all the challenges, that God give them all the strength they need to continue with their daily lives. I can't expect everyone to be trouble-free, but at least, they would be able to grow from the problems, be stronger, and be able to see the wonderful and beautiful things in life. May God be with them and grow with them.

True Love

Me, I, Myself and Others too!!: 9am Appointment

True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.

Someone gave me this before, and I hope it will help all of you my dear friends, cheer up...don't be sad about relationship, don't be too upset about your mistakes, cheerup even you have problems in your studies, and don't give up hope on friendships....

Thought of the Day

This is beginning of a new day
I can waste it or use it for good
What I do today is important
because when tomorrow comes
this day will be gone forever
I am earning in its place for something
that I have traded for
I want it to be gain, not loss
Good, not evil, success, not failure,
in order that I shall not regret
the price I paid today!

又是新的一天

上苍赐给我
这新的一天
我做什么都可以
我可以浪掷虚度
也可以小心珍重
今天我要捉的是非常重要
因为我把生命中的一天
和它交换
明天的到来，今天永远消逝
填补它的空缺的是
我所完成的事，
我努力耕耘，不要损逝
我选择善良，不要邪恶
我希望成功，不要失败
因为我永远记住
我为这是所付出的是
我生命中的每一天

Datuk Chua Jui Meng's Testimony

2004-09-07T19:32:00.000+08:00

Would like to share this forwarded mail

God's healing powers and hand of protection

Since hearing former Minister of Health, Datuk Chua Jui Meng, speak over the radio a couple of years back, he has left me with a deep impression about him. The way he carried and conducted himself told me that this man was different from the other ministers. At that time, I did not know why, but I just knew that I liked this ma! On Wednesday night, I had the privilege of listening to Datuk Chua give his testimony during a Jesus Heals Rally held at my church.

Having been missing from the political scene since he was not re-elected into the cabinet due to political reshuffling in the last election, I had hardly heard or read of news about Datuk Chua on television or in the newspaper. Curious about what his testimony will be like, yet, also a bit stereo type, I thought that his testimony would be one of how, in his anger and bitterness after his politcal downfall, he had met God. It was nothing like that. From the moment, he stepped on stage, all I heard from Datuk Chua's mouth was words of praises to God for his life, his family, his career etc. There was no anger or bitterness that I had expected. Instead, he praised the Lord for taking him out of politics so that he could do the Lord's work. I was just amazed at this man.

Beginning his testimony from December last year,! Datuk Chua shared so intensely about the time when an evil spirit had taken over him one afternoon when he was reading his cabinet papers. He shared how he struggled with the demon inside him and was finally delivered from it with much prayer by Pastor Jean Lim and her team. Praise the Lord! He then went on to share about his friend who was involved in a very serious accident and how his friend was miraculously healed. According to Datuk Chua, his friend was so seriously injured that doctors told him, even if his friend was to wake up, he would be brain dead. However, Datuk Chua did not give up hope and continuously prayed for his friend. One day when he was in the hospital praying for his friend again, his friend suddenly half opened his eyes, and muttered his first words - Jesus! From then on, God continued his healing powers on Datuk Chua's friend.

But the most amazing testimony was about the recent kidnap of his son, Damien, which was recently! reported in the newspaper. According Datuk Chua, Damien told him that his kidnappping ordeal was only for a mere 12 minutes from 4.18pm to 4.20pm, and not 30 minutes which was reported in the newspapers. "My son at the Projet petrol station to pump petrol - true. Two man approached Damien with parang (Malay word for a big knife used for chopping plants) also true and the parang was those like they used in kung fu fighting with sharp jagged edge. The kidnappers driving off the car from Projet and heading toward Jalan Duta was also true." Then he said something surprising, "But it was not a policeman who asked the kidnapper to pull over. The newspaper reported that Projet workers had called the police but I later checked with the manager of the Projet station, and he said upon investigation, they had no records of their staff calling the police. So, the Projet station staff w! as not even aware of what was going on and no one actually knew what had happened." Datuk Chua went on to say that Damien had told him when the car was along Jalan Duta, a hand opened the car door and a booming voice demanded that the robbers, "Keluar sekarang!" (Come out immediately) Freaked out and trembling with fear, the kidnapper then drove as fast as he could, checking the rear mirror the whole time, as if someone was pursuing him. That was when he lost control of the car and deliberately crashed it on Damien's side (left side of the car). The car was badly smashed up but Damien miraculously walked out of it without a scratch (besides the slash wound he got from the kidnappers). What an awesome testimony of God's protection and care! But whose hand was it that opened the door? "During the police interrogation, the kidnappers said it was a man all dressed in white," said Datuk Chua. He went on to say that the police also told him there was no police on! duty along or near Jalan Duta at that time. "Damien had told me all the while the kidnappers were in his car, he kept praying in tongues. The kidnappers did not stop him and allowed him to continue praying. He said he prayed, 'Jesus, You are the only One who knows what I'm going through and can help. Please help me.' Indeed only Jesus knows and only He could help Damien," said Datuk Chua as he ended his testimony. After hearing his testimony, I had so much more respect for Datuk Chua than before he went on stage, because, now I know, here is a man who had what everyone wanted - power. Yet, when God took it away, he still testified of God's goodness and continue to praise God.

Mooncake

2004-09-07T16:42:00.000+08:00

Made my 1st "bing pi" mooncake today!! ...a very very funny experience I had to say...I made the dough 3 times before succeeded!! Well, I have no one to blame but myself...because I read the recipe wrongly..but anyway, it is not an easy task!!! so, if you gonna make mooncake urself, my advice is, go see someone make it before u try it....to make the lotus paste nice and the texture correct is 2 different thing, and to get the dough correctly is also a challenge...then to even get them into the mould nicely and to turn out to be a MOONCAKE is a hard task! I have experienced all that..haha

feedback from friends - the mooncake was very very nice!!! haha..anyone wants? I dun mind making, but delivery fees will be charged!

Yesterday...
at Lygon Street...
I encountered beautiful and weird stuff...

I saw the most beautiful sunset of my life (up to today)..As I stood at Grattan Street, I could see...at the other end of the road, the sunset that I would never forget! The burning Sun was round, just like an orange ball. The Sun was at the edge of the horizon....you could see it going down. And the most wonderful part is that, in the middle of this, you could see people and cars moving. The picture look still but there are life around you...time doesn't stop. I just wished I had a camera with me..to capture the beautiful picture! But maybe Moon is right, best thing are better kept in memory...

Then as I was walking home, I came across a silly Lady..walking next to me..and she was like cursing me..."don't make me bad day worse..." Sigh, don't know what luck I am in...after the weekend encounter..I was soo paranoid of crazy people...and she scares me off...I stared at her..and lucky thing, some other people distracted her! Phew...but what have I done to attract flies...why can't I attract butterflies??? haha
