Blissful and sinful indulgence

Drink anyone?

2009-08-05T07:22:00.005+08:00

Note: Been pretty occupied for the past few months. Hence, the lack of updates... Will try to update as frequent as possible. Please do bear with me ;)

I saw this van last Friday on the way home and the words caught my attention. I quickly took out my camera and took a few shots before the traffic light turned green. Haha...often time when we ask our friends what would they like to drink they will usually tell us "anything" or "whatever"... So, here goes a drink that can fulfil these demands. Enjoy...:P

Guilty as charged

2009-06-13T14:53:00.015+08:00

I have a confession to make... I'm addicted to Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series. I'm dying to read the final book; Breaking dawn. I can't wait to have the many questions that have been burning in my head answered. they just filled my head. I'm totally obsessed with it. Can anyone enlighten me? I don't mind any spoiler. I wanna know why can't Edward reads Bella's mind? Would they live happily ever after?

In my attempt to find out these answers, I went to ask Uncle Google. There are some very interesting information. Haha... anyway am reading the final book, Breaking Dawn. It takes me ages to read the book as I'm pretty preoccupied at the moment. My plate is quite full at the moment. I don't really have the luxury of time lately to indulge in my favourite pasttime. That is reading.

Most of the time, I'll be too busy with work or studies. Multitasking had just gone to a whole new level... to the optimum! Life just get busier as you grow a little wiser... ahem... mature so to speak. I'm working six days a week in the morning and attending classes from Monday till Friday and I just only recently enrolled myself in a short course on every Sunday for seven weeks from 9am till 6pm. That's extremely long! A very loooooonnnnnng day I would say. That's why I always knew that I'm not the type of person who work in a nine to five office environment I was totally wore out last weekend after coming back from the class. I was suffering from information overload! It was very heavy going for me to take in so much info in one sitting with only ten minutes break every two hours. I was practically checking out the time every five minutes of more frequent.

Well, it has been a month already since I took the course. Three more weeks to go and I'll be free during Sundays. Hehe... one last assignment to complete before my long awaited holiday. Will be busy too... I'll be going to Port Dickson and Malacca on Monday and Tuesday of the school holiday week, follow by the annual Bookfest at KL Convention Centre on Wednesday and down south to Singapore from Friday till Monday.

Am looking forward to this holiday week... Yahoo, that's my motivation for now ;)

Chivalry still in existence?

2009-03-22T18:31:00.000+08:00

Despite it being school holiday week, I found myself to be more busy that usual. I'm still wondering why is that so. Well, perhaps I try to finished off as many assignments and tasks as I can before the holiday ends. Well, one week has passed and tomorrow everything will be back to normal.

The trafic jam, the workload, no more honeymoon... Well, life goes on. I'll take it all in my stride and accept it as a new challenge that would give lots of favourable fruits from my labour. I'll work with passion and enthusiasm. The end result would definitely show whether enough effort had been put in.

Taking care of the nifty gritty details of every matter will definitely go a long way. If only everyone being a little thoughtful to people around us, it would be very much appreciated in todays' society. It shows that you don't take others for granted and cherish their effort and gestures in taking time off to spend time with you such as attending a get together or even just a "yum cha" session at the mamak stall. I'm sure they have other things to attend to as well but they took the effort and time off their busy schedule to be with you.

I always wonder whether chivalry still exist in todays' society. I know people today are all talking about gender equality. It doesn't matter whether it's men or women helping the other sex like holding the door or helping others to hold their shopping bags. It's more like people nowadays are always in such a hurry that they forget to slow down a little and appreciate the little beauty they are surrounded with. Just a simple "Good morning" will definitely make someone's day. This is just so rare. I find it really heart warming to greet and talk to a stranger at my neighbourhood park. It's a refreshing experience while enjoying a lazy Sunday morning just marveling at the beauty of nature and God's work of art. It's simply amazing.

We might have been told by our parents not to talk to strangers. But do bear in mind that not all strangers are bad people. They are many nice and friendly people out there waiting for you to discover. Why not give it a try this weekend? It is surely an eye opening experience. Just bear in mind not to reveal too much personal details though on your first encounter though.

My current drive time fave songs and a sad ending...

2009-03-17T06:12:00.009+08:00

Drive time can be quite stressful as well as time consuming (*traffic jam* on top of inconsiderate and reckless driver). Well, if you use your drive time to listen to your favourite songs, I'm pretty sure your mood will be lifted instantly ;P just like mine... anytime... my car is just like my haven to me. It's my private space besides my home and my room of course :P

Everyone is rushing to reach their destination as soon as possible but bear in mind that SAFETY always comes first. It's better late than never. If you know how long it takes to reach certain destination, be sure to leave early in case Murphy's law takes place and create havoc to your schedule. Be patient and give others the benefit of doubts when they are trying to cut queues. They might not be familiar with the area like we do. Also, always use your indicator. Give signal to others when you want to change lanes. This can really save lives and prevent a lot of inconvenience, heartache and headache. Till then, cheerio and have a great day ahead!

P/S: Do remember to count your blessings. Remind yourself of what you have instead of what you don't. You'll feel much better instantly. Believe me! Think of the less fortunate people who are struggling to put food on the table for their family and with no money to attend schools. We're very blessed and luck in many sense so "Thank you, God for all that you've given me. Thank you very much. I know no one is perfect at least I try to be the best I can and try to lend a helping hand whenever I am needed. God bless my family and my loved ones. And please, please, please do take good care of my grandma for me ya. I just wanna let her know that I miss her tremendously. *Tears is flowing down my cheeks as I am writing about this. Grandma, I miss you so much here!* All of us miss you very much. Lots of hugs and kisses from all of us.

In loving memories...

2009-03-14T07:18:00.007+08:00

Time passes by in a blink of an eye... It has already been four years. I don't know how I have live my life all these years without you around me, to share my ups and downs, to be my companion when I feel lonely or just having you around is a comfort.

Granmda, you had been my fairy God mother saving me from unimaginable situation. Life without you had been pretty much a little too much for me to manage sometimes. I still need your wisdom to guide me through the journey of my life in fulflling my duties on this planet earth. I miss your presence tremendously. Your smile, your laughter and everything little thing about you... will no longer be part of my life.

I'll forever be grateful for having you in my life. You have no idea how much you had influenced and shaped the person I am today. I owe all I am to you. You had always been there to offer your endless support and words of wisdom. Whenever I'm down or have anything that's troubling me, you will always be the first person to notice the tiny little difference in me. It could just be a more quiet me on that particular morning or when my eyes were slightly swollen from crying myself to bed because I felt sorry and angry with myself for hurting your feelings earlier over a small matter.

It seems so easy for you to manage and run the household and yet you always make sure we are well taken care of. You will always make sure we are well fed. You will prepared everything for us so that we have nothing to worry about. It was your way of taking care of us. It breaks my heart now thinking back how rude and ungrateful I was back then.

I would give anything to have you back in my life. Life will never be the same again without you. The birds' chirping do not sound as cheerful as back then, the rainbows aren't as beautiful as I used to remembered and my heart felt empty as if there is a huge void that needs to be filled.

Who would have guess that I would never be able to repay your deed and everything that you had done and given to us. We still talk about you every now and then as if you are still around, still part of our daily lives.

All that matters now is to fulfill your dreams on your behalf. I will forever cherish the memories we shared. No one has played such as an important role or leave such an impact in my life.

Grandma, wherever you are right now, I want you to know that I Love You always. You'll always be remembered. Your memories will always be alive in my heart.

Lee Hom is coming...yahoo!

2009-03-13T00:23:00.016+08:00

Yes, yes, yes... the music man is coming to my home country for his concert and I wanna attend it! Am really, really looking forward to 2nd May 2009! Calling all Lee Hom's fans out there... if anyone of you who are interested to go please do let me know! The more the merrier ;P

I'm his supporter since I was in secondary school. It has been more than 10 years now. Haha... pretty loyal, huh? What to do I am such a loyal person? Blowing my trumpet here... (*blush, blush, blush*)

It has been ages since the last time I attended his concert. I miss the one he performed together with JJ Lin. Oh... their songs are so beautiful. They sang each other's song while playing the piano. Simply beautiful...

My current favourite songs in his latest album '心跳' is Heartbeat (the album's title song), Everything and fave among my favourites is 春雨里洗过的太阳.

Is there really any difference?

2009-03-12T21:50:00.004+08:00

That's a good question... I wonder why this joke seem to cross my mind so often. If I'm not mistaken, I read this joke in Reader's Digest magazine. The joke goes something like this...

Policeman: Do you know what is your offense?
Driver: Sorry, I have no idea, sir.
Policeman: Did you see the sign board over there? You are supposed to stop at the junction.
Driver: There is no car. I don't see any difference in stopping and slowing down.
Policeman: May I have your driver's license please?
Driver: I'll show you if you can show me the difference.
Policeman: Sure, sir, please step out of your car. (The policeman started beating the driver with his 'stick' when the driver alighted from his vehicle and ask the driver the difference between stopping and slowing down. The driver is crying in pain).
Driver: (Crying in pain. He shouted pleaded the policeman to stop) Please stop. I got it now.

Hope that you had enjoy it ;)

I'm a better person now...

2009-03-11T07:19:00.011+08:00

I'm a better person now because I need to be good role model for my children. Don't get me wrong here. I'm not married nor am I a single parent. The children I'm talking about are my students. I'm a preschool teacher ;P Gotcha there! Children look up to adults around them. They learn through observation and imitation. Therefore, it is always important to be your best at all times.

Therefore, I'm now a better person because of my students. I mind my language and manner especially when I'm in school. I'm always conscious and put in the extra effort to always be polite and treat every one equally or as how I would like to be treated. Every now and then, I'll share with my children some advise or words of wisdom...Ehmm... since I'm more than two decades older than them. That should account for something right?

What I'm trying to stress here is that we should always try to be the best we can at all times. Don't give up so easily and never say never.

'Impossible is nothing' I simply love this phrase. It summaries the spirit of never giving up and that there is nothing that is too difficult to be achieved if only we put our heart and soul into it. I wish everyone a great week ahead and be your best.

17 again...

2009-03-08T01:13:00.020+08:00

P/S: This is an old photo of mine but I still look the same albeit slimmer ;)

I am always being ask about my age and people always find it hard to believe when I tell them my actual age. They just wouldn't believe me. It never fail to amaze me that they think I'm still a young girl studying in secondary school. They thought I was pulling their legs. Haha... I find it hard to believe that I actually look 10 years younger! I take it as a compliment. I believe it is a blessing in disguise as I want to age gracefully. Who doesn't? Anyway, I would like to share this experience...

Two days ago, my friend and I were asked by the lady at the cinema ticket counter whether there is anyone of us who were below 18 years old because the movie was rated 18PL. We were looking at one another and started laughing. Do we actually look that young? I really have no idea. If anyone of you read this, please leave your comment. How old do you think I look?

The thing is that people don't take me seriously because of my look. It is as if they are looking and talking to a teenager. How peculiar is that? It really makes me feel pretty small. I guess dressing the part should help in one way or another.

So for everyone out there who are reading this... yes, you! You know who you are... I'm the living proof (*blushing blushing*) ...In order to stay young and youthful, it is important to stay healthy and happy. That's the best medicine for youthful looking face. Think positive and make sure you don't push yourself too hard.

In case anyone was wondering, the movie I watched was 'Love Matters.' It talks about love and sexual relationship of todays' society. One of the leading lady quoted this, 'Would there be love without sex?' or should I add 'No sex, no love?' What do you think?

I strongly disagree. Love is a very beautiful gift. Sex is only a small part of a relationship . What matters most is the ability to understand each other and compromise. We don't need sex in order to love another person. The emotional part plays a much more important role. It creates the special bond you share with your partner. It doesn't only sustains the relationship, it determines the success or failure of it. Therefore, communication is of upmost importance. You can solve any problem by talking and discussing about the issue with your partner.

As I came across this phrase in a blog ' 结婚是喜事幸福是本事,' (which literally translated as getting married is a happy event, happiness depends on your ability or skills) I totally agree with this. Nothing is free in this world. We need to put in the effort and time to nurture a relationship. We need to be patient and shower the relationship or our partner, to be exact with lots of tlc (tender loving care).

While falling in love is effortless, hard work is in maintaining and sustaining a relationship. There is no hard and fast rules nor there is any shortcuts. You got to embrace it all, you gotta feel it in your heart. You'll have to be a little creative and perhaps sometimes being palyful or mischievous does help ;-)

Fate and destiny

2009-02-22T15:47:00.000+08:00

Every one of us has our own set of problems regardless of which stage of life we are in, no matter who we are or where we are. Every single event in our lives happens for a reason. Perhaps it is a blessing in a way or maybe it is God’s way of pointing us towards the right path. We will never know. Some questions in our lives remained unanswered. There is just no way to find out the answer no matter how hard we tried. Live is full of uncertainties. Sometimes it is too much a responsibility or some called it a burden to carry on our two tiny shoulders…

First day of CNY:The new beginning

2009-01-26T21:34:00.000+08:00

The previous year had been a challenging one. The learning curve was steep. In fact,it was pretty deep in my case. Or should i say that it was finally sinking in. I have never been a meticulous person. I was even and still being considered careless when it comes to managing the nitty-gritty details. I have always thought myself to be a happy-go-lucky kind of person. Oh, how wrong was I. I guess I had lose the innoncence and naivety that I used to possess. That is life. As a saying goes, "The only constant in life is change". Nothing is certain. Not even our dearest or ourselves for the matter. Sometimes I even doubt myself. I feels that I had failed or disappoint myself at times. How can I let that happened?

In life, we are always bombared with decisions. Every now and then we need to make decisions; whether it is to stay in bed a little longer or taking a new route to work, having cheese cake for breakfast and the likes. I am sure you know what I am talking about. Our every decision is reflected on the course of action we have chosen. I ponder and wonder a lot on many issues and happening in my life and always question why each event took place. Perhaps everything does happen for a reason.

Now you may wonder why did I chose the image above. Well, our love life is very much related in our daily lives. Love makes the world goes round. Love is the reason why we should all turn our backs against war. It does not matter what was the reason for declaring war, both parties would lose out eventually regardless of who will emerge as the winner.

After a year, I notice and realise that I had grown into a wiser and much mature person. Now I try to take every perspective into my consideration before making any decision instead of jumping to conclusion.

There is so much more that I would love to write about. My eyes are not allowing me to do so. They can barely open anymore.
