I love Universal Studio.. some may not like it much but i really enjoy all the rides and cute stuffs.. i played most of the rides and took lots of pics..

Hello Kitty

A friend of mine once post a challenge to me if i can ever took a picture of Hello Kitty in Universal Studio as she can be in demand because alot of tourist will flock towards her and took snap shots.. my friend mentioned to me that she will "kowtow" to me if i am able to do that... haha..


So in order to prove her wrong, i took on the challenge and decided to hunt for her on my first day of arrival.. mind you.. haha never post a challenge me.. you be amazed what i can do.. haha.. When i saw Kitty on my arrival to Universal.. i remembered our challenged and i ran like crazy to chase after her to just take a pic of her.. indeed i have a mission accomplished.. er.. the rest is history when i come home.. haha i shall spare the details..

In a few days time, 2008 will be a history... a new year will be taking over.. Welcome 2009 :) This has been a trying year for me... looking back i realised that how time has quietly slip by so fast without noticing.

I remember crossing over 2008 with God in my humble bedroom, and now.. here it comes again..

Hmm... this year not a bad year compare to last. I have make some good friends and some how we got closer this year.. though i "lost" some... in life u either lose some or gain some..

Begining of the year... i have managed to clear my building fund.. felt so happy :) though the amount is not so significant, i suppose unequal amount, equal scarifice.

And then my career took off as i have left SCI, its not an easy move with all the emotional attachments i have with my operators and colleagues.. never felt so moved.. they gave me stuff when i was leaving the company... i wish them well..

With NAFA

Then i went to NAFA, a great place to be in. The people are nice.. ahemm... expect for ... haha.. the enviroment is condusive for growth and finally this "wild horse" is settling down for good (i hope) before any better pasture comes in... haha.. Meet some lovely people and bosses and though work can be tough.. but i can still hang on.. besides... i am going to school next year. What a change! Looking forward to it.

We bid our goodbyes.. i will miss you dear, and i thought about him often. Wrong time, right person or right time, wrong person. I am really not sure this time.. however i am casting cares upon Him still. I doubt we will meet again, however he does occupy a space in my heart :) neverthless i will move on..

The Run

Ran my first 2 maiden marthons this year, SHAPE RUN 5km and GE RUN 10 km... gosh.. its almost killing me.. but i survived. Thanks to Joyce my walking ''partner", life is indeed lighter when someone is walking with u.. hehe.. tks dude.. :) u not only walk the walk.. u talk the talk.. haha.. the walk with u is going to last with me for a long time... oh ya.. not forgetting sze ying... haha... ur whining is really a classical of the year.. hehe..

Nite Cycle

Challenge myself again for my nite cycling ... i freak out when i had to cycle so many miles. And poor tw.. has to bear my wailing from the start.. haha.. once is enough.. i swear i wont do it again!

This year manage to go to KL trip with some of closer friends.. the trip was great.. we eat like no tomorrow.. enjoy massages, fish spa.. and visited KL CHC.. so cool.. i dont mind to go for a retreat again next year... for ms goh bd again?? shall we?? hehe..

Decluttering Part One & Two...

I have decided to declutter finally... blame it on my own lazyiness and much procrastination, i have been storing much clutter at home and my own room is really TOO MUCH STUFF!!! Hmm.. there is one point of time i will always remember some friends will gather at Siang's house after cell group and likes to laugh and comment on my clutter.. Sometimes i really wish they can just keep their comments to themselves!!! Actually its quite hurtful to hear those comments..haha...

I have always believe that every house will have their own clutter but people are always people, they like to pin point others except themselves.. Well, i believe there are still some good friends though.. despite of my clutter, they are very accepting of me still.. some of them keep on inspiring and challenge me..U know who u are and i am thankful for that :)

Actually im a lazy gal, haha.. but i know i should get a hold of my life together and start anew. And also i have promise Joyce to do some decluttering as she promised to do the GE 10km For woman... Its about time to pay my due... so this for u dudette!

This is all the trash i have gather around my bedside.. it look much worse! Books, bags, papers everywhere!

This is after i have clear up my mess... awh... look so clean :)

This is really messy... my vanity counter.. so much stuff... everything seems to be falling in and i can hardly find my stuff. I cant imagine all these years i have been living with it.

As i was clearing my room i almost wanted to give up!!! Agrrh... so much stuff.. and i really feel like unpacking it and leaving it to the orginal state.. Haha.. i remember i was telling joyce i really feel like crying while packing.. how can a gal gather so much clutter!!!??? Oh my goodness..


After so many hours of battling... my room is finally clean and clear.. And at least i have a really nice vanity counter of my own... hmm... wat was i thinking all these years???

I am so happy :) clutter free for this section of my room and more to come. Space really create a place of imagination. I feel much happier and looking forward going home :)

And guess what?? Under inspiration... i have come up with my own version of new lyrics of "Today" song by Pastor Phil Church..

Hehehe.. just for fun.. enjoy the lyrics~

~TODAY~

Today I am leaving all my clutters behind
I will clean up I have made up my mind
Today.. today..

Today.. I am finding myself back again
I am letting go what’s been coming in
Today … Today…

I see a rising sun
My chores have just began..

Today… today..

No more cluttering lives
I am free for life
Friends help me here
Friends got me here

I see a clean room now
No more dusty shelves
Just feel great here
Just feel great here

Oh… oh… oh…
The air is so much clear
Oh… oh... oh.…
There is no reason not to be near
Oh… oh… oh…

I see my life in a different light…
Oh… oh…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Haha... just thought the lyrics is so funny.. haha.. anyway.. i am still going to continue to declutter :)

Thanks friends for ur encouragement.. :)

周杰倫 - 說好的幸福呢 ?


你的回话凌乱着 在这个时刻
我想起喷泉旁的白鸽 甜蜜散落了
情绪莫名的拉扯 我还爱你呐
而你断断续续唱着歌 假装没事了

时间过了 走了 爱情面临选择
你冷了倦了我哭了
離开时的不快乐
你用卡片手写着
有些爱只给到这真的痛了

怎麽了你累了 说好的.幸福呐
我懂了不说了爱淡了 梦远了
开心与不开心一一叙说着
你在不舍那些爱过的感觉都太深刻
我都还记得

你不等了 说好的 幸福呐
我错了 泪干了 放手了 后悔了
只是回忆的音乐盒还旋转着
要怎么停呢

Fidelity vs Infidelity

Falling in love is so easy, but to keep love alive and going seems to be tough. Wondering what is wrong with nowsadays with human today? Im not targeting on a certain gender.. "ahem.. which i think i am bias.." But it seems like to maintain a relationship it really requires alot of time, love, trust and effort in it. One of my friend sms this to me that nite ' if love is not looked after, gradually it will fade away.' I agree, there are certain truths of what she says.

I was not surprised when she told me about her marriage is on the rocks. I mean at this era, infidelity has never been an issue among most people. I was just sadden to hear that a 20 year old marriage cant be compare to someone whom he barely knew for few months. Will love outlast lust???

I felt her pain as she was relating her stories... all along her world belong to her husband and kids and husband only... she love him and love has become a possession. As a result, he needs a breather and conveniently excused himself for that affair.

Where art all thee fidelity man? I feel so sad as she begin to pour her stories to me... What is wrong with man nowsaday?? Simply can just find a reason for this act? If i am her, i really dont know what will i react? People around her ask her to endure and be openhearted, her portugal husband will be home after the 'affair' but i think its really ridiculous.. i cant condo this kind of thinking!!!!!

Maybe not for me... i may not be a perfectionist in most things.. rooms can be messy, work not done, dishes on the sink and out to play.. but when it comes to relations i am dead serious.. Can you imagine, when u gave your heart to someone without any reservations thinking that it will be a fairy tale ending but when the sunsets down.. curtains are drawn ... welcome to real world baby.

I guess i do see a similarity in her when i was with Ben. At that time, to me he is my world, all i wanted is to be with him and him alone... he was my first love, know him in church and we left together... most woman tend to let their heart rule over her emotions. The things that we dont really like to do, but for love's sake we do it, just to please the one we love.


Time progress and our love cant stand the test of time, he finally admitted that he was unfaithful to our relationship. From then, i make up my mind... i decided to leave him despite of how much he meant to me. The rest is history....

I think i am still thankful for God for all these hicups of relations. It really allows me to see clearer what am i looking for in a man. It was never easy to maintain one. It really needs two to clap together to make it work. I really hope that every woman will find a right home with that man she loves.. who doesnt want a happy ending anyway? :)

Till then... let my fairy tale begin..

Feelings...

Tonight i feel abit melachololly ... havent been feeling this way for long. I know he is back we have exchange some smses... i wanted to see him badly, but i know what will happen next if we meet.. So i have decide to curb my longing for him? I know i will plunge in deeper if i meet him and all the months of resisting him will go washed out.

I tell myself i have to be strong, i cant let all my months of effort go to waste. Time and factor are vey vital. Its either you have met the right person at the wrong time or you are in the right time of your life but met the wrong person. For me.. i think i .... As a result im not any happier.. Every relationship matters to me, but u may not got back in return wat you have sow. Its okay.. its alright i will treat it as a part and parcel of life and move on as life progresses.

2 more months before christmas.. so many things yet to be done. However i think it has been a great year for me so far. Hope that 2009 will be a better one for all..

Sui Ran Wo Yuan Yi ~ Wu Jia Hui

请让我靠近你轻轻对你说
别让我每个夜为你受折磨
是多么不容易才默默放手

为了我就当作这次为了我
别让我因为你被回忆折磨
而空气凝结了我们的脸孔

我别无选择
就算我们之间有什么问题
依然想念着你
虽然被放弃
虽然我愿意

就算我们之间有什么难题
黑夜我还想着你
心碎人孤寂
虽然我愿意

再让我靠近你轻轻对你说
当我说我要你从此好好过
是真的否则我怎么肯放手

为了我就当作这次为了我
赐给我你现在幸福的笑容
别让恨冻结了我们的脸孔
请你做选择

就算我们之间有什么问题
依然想念着你
虽然被放弃
虽然我愿意

就算我们之间有什么难题
黑夜我还想着你
心碎人孤寂
心还想着你

I like this song very much.. listen to it every night before i sleep.. It reflects on my feelings...

Well, i am thinking of him still... i know i have bid him goodbye, but often when night falls while the world is asleep, my mind is full of him. People tend to say, an end of a relationship is a beginning of another. I wonder how true? Seems that there is no way out. My heart is so full of him. Saying goodbye is tough but mending memories are tougher.

Each day i immersed myself with work trying to let him go... but how often he actually occupy a space in my heart. God knows how hard i try not to fall.. how hard i try to move on... and how hard not to be so easily move again by guarding my heart.. i tell myself no matter how i have to go through it. Whether for own sake or not, one thing i know i cant stay this way for long..

Still finding myself...

Just Once - James Ingram

I did my best, but I guess my best wasn't good enough
cause here we are back where we were before
seems nothing ever changes
we're back to being strangers
wondering if we ought to stay or head on out the door

Just once can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong
why we never last for very long what are we doing wrong
Just once can't we find a way to finally make it right
to make the magic last for more than just one night
if we could just get to it
I know we could break through it.

I gave my heart but I think my heart may have been too much
cause lord knows we're not getting anywhere
seems we're always blowing whatever we've got going
and it seems at times with all we've got we haven't got a prayer

Just once can't we figure out what we keep doing wrong
why the good times never last for long where are we going wrong
Just once...can't we find a way to finally make it right
to make the magic last for more than just one night
i know we could break through it
if we could just get to it

Just once, I want to understand.....why it always comes back to goodbye
why can't we get ourselves in hand
and admit to one another we're no good without each other
take the best and make it better find a way to stay together

Just once.....can't we find a way to finally make it right
Oh..make the magic last for more than just one night
i know we could break through it
if we could just get to it
Just Once.....
