:)

Did I ever tell you how much I love love love and adore December and the holiday season? Xmas & New Year's Eve!

And I can't believe how much more blissful this can be: as I'm typing this out, I'm sitting in a place downtown which I really adore, sipping on my Water Melon Semi Fredo, just had my tummy warmed with a soup of megayums Wild Mushroom Soup laced with truffle oil~

under the warm yellow light, listening to christmas carols and other classics~*

Le Sigh~* :)

But here's the exciting twist to it:
I'm actually meeting my client here after this, to conduct my first ever IDI! =)
hehehe!

it was very impromptu, and a result of my initiative to take this up but that's ok, more than excited to do so! :)

This year's Dec is a bit diff for me, filled with many good first, firsts that I'm so grateful and thankful for~!

I was writing this to a gf earlier~ here's an excerpt:

"..... hope u had a lovely xmas, im looking fwd to an amazing NYE & New Years 2012! :DDD

life's nicely busy but am loving it. just got bck frm my very first biz trip thurs night, shot down to spore early next morning to spend the xmas weekend there, got bk last night n now here i am at a cafe meeting my client later! x)

hehe..madness a tad bit, but a good kinda madness to hv~! xx ;) ..."

Yup yup! Mucho fun! Thanks to the 2 boys earlier for letting me get ready there btw! inside story la. hehe

Anyways, I hope all is well, and that you had a lovely xmas!

Here's to even more Amazing times ahead!! :) 2012 is just around the corner you guys!!

Loves,
Mun~*:)

Can't believe this!

2011-12-18T22:05:00.004+08:00

Dear bloggie love,

Can you believe it? The many times I've shared with you about the countless packings I had to do (which isn't exactly my fav past time, AT ALL), from Us to Msia, From Msia to my travels, From Msia to Us, Between HK, US, and Msia..and to all my other travel ventures around the globe~

I'm so happy to share with you tonight that I am packing for my very first Business Trip yo!!!

And may I add, I'm travelling alone!!

This is so krazy but quite exciting at the same time! hehe! :)

Hope all goes well and pray for a smooth and awesome journey ahead! =)

There is a little trade-off here tho, but it's the best option of all other dates... I will kinda miss "Go-Tong" day...(the festival where we all gather with our families and eat "Tong Yuen" [glutinous rice balls] together).. Quite a big day especially in olden day Chinese families! =) I personally have really enjoyed this festive day alot since young, one because I love eating Tong Yuens..and second bcos I was ever mischievous in making Tong Yuens in all shapes and sizes other than the big round ones since a young child (something which my grandmother has no choice but to come to terms with! haha)

I haven't been celebrating for the past 2 years with my family as I was away in the US and HK.. but at least, what's comforting to me, is that I will arrive back in KL in the night of "Go Tong" day... albeit will be quite late at night.. I will still get to be with my family at the very least, and that's good enough! :)

Anyways, I'm blessed for this good opportunity to come so early on in my career path! More jet-setting trips around the world to come! I love to travel and meet new people! (and meet strangers in the elevators to, and am so blessed that till this day, they are still my close friends!) yall know who you are! ;)

Anyways, Dec is world homecoming to the beautiful and gorgeous land of Malaysia! hehehe! and im sooo excited!

My coussie love is already back.. and gene too! but been sickie abit so haven't got the time to see em.. Lookin fwd to catch up real soon! :D

And most recently, bren is home!! i havent seen this moussie tan in agesssss! the last time she came back i was caught in the tcb madness schedule and didnt even get a chance to see her before she jetsetted off again (this shows you give kl wayyyyy too little timeeee!!!)

haha!

But this time around, so glad we caught each other! :) So not enough like we both said after our meet up, and am looking forward to what will be called an "In-depth" catch up real soon next month when she comes home with her parents from abu dhabi land! :)

gosh, dont you love how international we all are! ;) [[btw, whoever coined that someone has brown fever during our lunch date, that's so wrong!! I am all about goin international yo!! hahaha,,, and you forgotten about the multitude of msian chinese, korean, taiwanese cuisines etc ! ;p haha inside story]]

heheh!

a short but sweet catch up at plan b. food was okay but am so pissed they didnt give me my dessert voucher (bcos they ran out of them and i have to drive back all the way to get it some other time..which they aren;t exactly sure when. bahh)

withhold a gal from yum desserts - aint cool!

haha.. nevertheless... fun to see two gals i havent seen in ages..

and not to mention other cempakans i kept spotting while sitting down during lunch! If yall know me, yall would know how much i loveee bumpin into ppl..(the right ones of course) but this is kray!

all cempakans bumping into cempakans! hehe.. it was a semi-complete madness program!

We saw Megat and Yue Mei! so nice to see em both again!

And megat was ever sweet, buying flowers and gifts preparing for the homecoming of his gal... hehe! and Yue Mei who's also now known as 8tv quickie host, Megan Tan was so stunned to see all of us standing in a line right in front of her when we went to say hi!

Lols!

Small world this is! :)

Some picas to share!

Qix & Bren

The one of the highlights was to receive them wedding invitation cards from our dear bride-to-be... Dear arakiss (on the left)! eheh... dunno how me n nat came up with that name for you babes!

Awin & I

Megat! :)

he & reugene now are in the same company! what a small world !!

and to recall how i intro the both of them during DC in 2005, madness galore how everyone is connected in one way or another!

Lookin forward to more dec catch-ups with loved ones!:)

Always a special month for me! :) I loveee!

~*~

Oh yes, and about 2 weeks back..

We received exclusive invites to the Gala at Starhill to dine and watch Julio Iglesias the legend in flesh!

Goshies me!

so so charming, and ever the embodiment and reminder why i have always adored all things Latin and Spanish!

Haha,, my italian director, Luca was so surprised that i was excited to go for his concert and kept gushing in office about how i cant wait. but omgosh, why not! i like all good music, and what's not to love about this legend? :)

Haha,,, it was all good! Met so many amazing and inspiring community leaders that night... The CEO of Pavilion, Ms Joyce was sitting on my table and it was such a pleasure meeting and speaking with her throughout the night! =)

That and many more moments made that night such a good one!

Thanks so much for the invites! :)

~*~

Anyways, with the ever exciting festive season coming up,

What do you guys have planned for Xmas and New Year's Eve? so amazing that these two lovely days are on long weekends this year! Good times ahead everyone!! :)

I'll be roadtripping to our neighbor down south and lookin forward to stop by in the new Johor Premium Outlets on the way back! US has spoilt us maximum with their rarwsome outlets and crazy holiday sales, so im looking forward to see what their Malaysian cousin over here has installed for us!:)

Also, as this was quite a spontaneous trip to make, i realized i might not be here when 3 of my loves return home on the 23rd..

Like i just whatsapped farriekins in UK land... I may not be there in person to welcome you to home sweet home, but i'll be there in spirit showering you with puncak love as you return home!!! ;)))))

Heheh!

Come home soon darlings!

I can't wait!! and did you hear about the new and exclusive puncak karaoke?? hehehe... that and so much more!! Fun times ahead guys!

Cheers and all my love for the exciting and lovely holiday season ahead!

I hope you have a great one, and most of all, have tonnes of fun with all your loved ones!

Hugs and love! :)

How long ago was this pic! can't believe its been 6 amazing years since this very memorable December and festive season! :)

Loves!~*

2011-12-17T00:12:00.009+08:00

I Miss HK!!!

It's too late in the night to full-blown-ly blog after im only halfway thru with going thru my pics. But for what it's worth, as giddy as a school girl, as deep as a million years epic romance ingrained in my soul,

I just have to tell the world i miss HK madly deeply so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

esp~ HKUST exchange class of Autumn 2010!!

*BIG LOVE*************

Don't try to control Things that are beyond what your control, Instead, Do your best with what You CAN do.

Breathless and weakened inside, she wrote in her diary:

Dear you,

These past four months, I've seen more in real life, things that I thought only existed in movies/in stories you hear.

I have never seen such ugly sights like that before. But I don't and won't blame, and I won't judge.

I just believe in the power of karma, and I am in acceptance.

Funny how sometimes when the time comes, you can't avoid it. It's almost like "pay up" time catching up with you. But I want to think that it has its merits as well, afterall, everything happens for a reason, and I don't wanna hold onto any attachments whether physical or mental or emotional.

I want to let go of it and let it all stop here.

But before I do, I just want to recollect the rite of passage for one last time.

Funny and a bit scary when it has to happen, it just does, so inexplicable, almost helpless but not really. It is like it was all pre-destined, when things like that have to happen.

You would end up making a choice you're not even sure why you did, the most unlikely and unexpected choice,

That would bring you to a place you never thought you'd end up at, of all the other places you could've gone to,

And then you would meet the people you meet,

And of all people you have met and can meet, there he was - the one you were inexplicably drawn to, the one you had stirrings about, an almost unlikely candidate but for some reasons, it was almost like an innate calling you had to answer,

And this force, this attraction, it was mutual

No way you can both fight it.

Things happen, one after the other...

This and that

That and this

And after all that's been said and done, the happiness and the sadness, the beautiful and the not, the words, the gestures, the actions, the white lies and the truths, the highs and the lows, the euphoria and the heart breaks, the hopes and the disappointments, the submission, the trust and the broken ones, the this and the that..

And today, the chapter is closed once the *unspoken force* is settled and has done what it has to do.

And then like a whirlwind, everything packs up and leaves,

Or rather its time for you to leave.

To pack your suitcases and walk ahead, and life goes on.

It's crazy I think diary,

But I don't wanna ponder upon it no more..

It may have been a dream, it may have been life, either way, I have been through it, experienced what I needed to and now it's time to move forward and on~* :)

I hereby let it all go with all my heart, I am sorry, I thank, I forgive, and I pardon, I hereby let it go.

I pray that all of the sufferings that every sentient being experiences in life will be gone.

May everyone find peace, happiness and serenity from within,

May everyone learn how to love themselves in the purest of ways,

May everyone then treat others with kindness and love, just as they would treat themselves.

May peace, happiness, serenity, love and light be with all beings!~*

With that, she penned off for that night. Closed the dark brown pages of her leather bounded diary, slip in the sleeves into the belt to secure the pages together and put away her dark blue point pen.

Kept her diary in the wooden drawer of her desk, partially in the middle, not too deep in, yet not too fully exposed, just cozily nestled in the top drawer on her left.

The muskiness of the old room fills the air, as she reached out for her lamp to turn the yellow warm glow off in her room.

And she climbed into her cosy nest of pillows and tucked herself under her thick floral printed duvet, "what a merriment life is!", sighed a peaceful sigh after all the storm and moved on with her life. Doing what she has to do, growing stronger and keeping the faith strong.

Peace to all! =)

Pics from korea land!

2011-11-05T20:49:00.004+08:00

*Cant wait for the kids to come homeeee!* x)

November is here! Marks the beginning of my magic most favoritest season - end of the year!

Blessed Magic Days, all! :)

At the end of the day

2011-10-10T17:58:00.006+08:00

At the end of the day, we are all human, all confusing creatures.

We make mistakes, puzzling ones, and those that cannot be figured out.

We love, we lose, we laugh, we cry, we make, we break and we find strength again- whether together or alone.

Every step of the way is a learning lesson,

Every experience is a step further teaching you what you can or cannot do, what you can or cannot take, and what you can or cannot accept as a person.

In everything that you do or have ever done before;

no time is wasted, no time is lost, no resources ever wrongly invested.

For it does take all the time, love, energy, money "lost" to find you what's right in the end.

It does take unwise decisions to happen before you can finally make the wise ones.

We may not know the answers today, we may never even know in this life,

But that doesn't mean we should all sit in the dark and cry, and just be lost, and stay lost forever.

Because I think, At the end of the day, no matter how bright or dim, everyone has this fire ignited in them the day they were conceived in their Mother's womb.

And shouldn't it be our mission in life, to keep this fire burning on and alive?

To keep our spirits up, chins up, in the face of every adversity and every triumphant moment we go through?

Life is unpredictable that way,

It can rain suddenly on a sunny day,

A storm may brew out of nowhere,

But then a rainbow emerges just right at that moment when the skies look too gloomy to bear any longer.

People you love and whom you thought love you, may turn out one day to be someone you don't recognize anymore,

People who you cherish with all your heart, that may not even have had the chance to tell them you love them as much as you do, may leave this earth suddenly one day,

But then again, there will be others whom you thought never knew of your existence that love you with all their hearts,

There will be lives of others that blooms in yours unexpectedly, that you never knew you could love so much;

That may be your child, your new sibling, a friend, or a special someone.

Life's like that, the only thing constant is change.

So we should learn how to let go, and only to control what we can, but let go on what we cannot. And by then, may inner peace and serenity be with you.

You may be lost here, there and in several other moments in life, but still, that will and shall never ever keep you away from the path that is right; the path to keep that fire in you Ignited, Forever More~!*

Cheers and love to you, my loves ~!*

Are you Kray Kray? Join The Complete Madness Program 6.0 XD

2011-09-27T15:34:00.002+08:00

Horse Fair 2011 date! Love doing unconventional random stuffs like that!

~*~

I love to start my day with fresh honey lemon juice

I adore dressing up!

I think guys who cook are so interesting, what more a guy who bakes for you? ;)

I think eggs ben x Florentine are smorgasmicccc!

Those who truly know me think that I may be part Italian in my past life; la dolce far niente e la dolce vita!

My three favourite ingredients to work with are olive oil, garlic and basil – makes the world go round!

I’m in love with islands

The last thing you will see me voluntarily buy is a t-shirt

Although I adore the color purple, I hardly wear it

I love perfumes

I love Thai, Japanese and Italian food

I love lace, black lace especially

I live and breathe creativity

I think life of yesteryears is so charming, one that is filled with values, genuine quality and respect

I value values, and people with values

I believe the human touch and sincerity are truly important

I couldn’t agree more with the quote from Yves Saint Laurent;

“Fashion come and go, but Style is forever”

I think rainbows and meadows are absolutely magical~*

I love creating new words that people around me pick up and use!

I also adore learning new languages and meeting new people, I seriously think it’s so much fun

I treasure quality friendships, both old and new, and I feel so blessed that I’m still so close to people I’ve met since my first year of school

Btw, arrogant, fake and utterly irresponsibly reckless people are a waste of time – to me at least ! :)

And no, bad boys can’t even make me bat an eyelash at them!

I like flying kites! Which reminds me of a dear gf who bought me a banana muffin and kite to play with when she read of my random cravings online! I love u, squirrel!

(((BTW ~ can yall believe there's one very "Special" person in our modern Malaysian society that fulfills all three of these criteria simultaneously? :

1) Have NOT tried roti pisang in his life before (i have since helped him overcome this weirdness)

2) Have NOT flown a kite in his life before

3) Does NOT know who Audrey Hepburn is!

hahahahahha! XD

*big love!*

I like picnics

And yes, i have the randomest cravings for food or things to do!

And last FOM (Fact Of Mun) for the day,

I think curly heads have more fun! ;)

Hehe!~*

Twinkly doo, all you lovely people! :)

uovo affogato

2011-09-22T15:27:00.003+08:00

ive always been a big fan of eggs benedict & eggs florentine!

zomg! u have no idea how much im craving for it RIGHT NOW!

Once when we were at Social @ KL (Now known as House), G Tower, we wtd to do our Caesar Salad with Poached eggs!

Our chef friend (lols) were sharing with us the trickinesss of making the perfect poached egg. It's nooo easy feat!

Ever since that we've been a bit tempted to try.

This morning, I wanted to make a variety of yummay stuffs only to have that plan debunked by some circumstances which made me so mad! lols, buddy knows! ;)

So, growling tummy and all, i decided to challenge myself to make this infamous poached egg ive heard so many ppl lament about its trickiness to make!

Needed some fun to spice the morning up after getting pissed! ;)

So, the complete poach egg freshie me decided to embark on this virgin feat of mine while talking to my gf in the Us, my buddy and reading on various instructions online! lol!

I'm quite happy it turned out pretty well for my first try. I heard ppl saying tht they had to waste and throw away a few eggs during their first attempt but the first two I made, I ate! So it was not too bad! ;) Me loikeyyy!

It's actually quite fun, I'm lookin forward to perfect my egg poaching skills! :D

Topped it off with partially caramelized onions, garlic, jalapeno peppers and herbs! Yummehhhh!

And well worth the wait and effort! =)

they look a bit alien like!

but so so yummeh!

Im so lookin forward to make beautiful poached eggies ala the pros!

can u spot heart shape? :P

A foul mood quickly uplifted by home cooked hot breakkie! J'adore!

I just whipped it up real quick cos i was starving by then and was sooooo annoyed at some annoying things! lol!

It's all gooood! Goin to make my aglio olio now! :D

They were walking around the green plains and summer meadows, with her prancing around here and there, avoiding rabbit Burroughs along the way. She paused, took a deep breathe and looked up into the clear blue skies daintily painted with soft white clouds.

And in her beautiful sundress, with her long sensually dangling curls blowing against her face, she turned around to him who was following her closely from behind and said,

"Oh dear, how I wish you were not (...) then this could be really a good love~*"

How true. Sometimes things can be so perfect, but at the same time missing that one piece/have that one part that doesn't quite fit into the big picture, and then it all becomes just not right to pursue for the long run.

Oh wells~* Don't let that get you down, ever! =)

A thought that came to me this evening:

It's about high time we realize this, and most importantly, have the courage to constantly remind ourselves this - to undo the conditioning that society has imprinted onto our subconscious very, very strongly (till we even think that this conditioning is actually the way to live life!):

Isn't it quite sad and a pity that we are so held back or tied back by invincible strings that 'society' seems to 'impose" on us.

How to live our lives, what ladies ought to do, what men should do, how they should behave, what to do after you reach a certain age, how to behave when you are not of that age, what deems a successful path of life, what professions are 'good' and others not good enough to make the cut as "professional", money money money is 'everything', that it's only complete if you have an 'other half' in your life, ETC!

From one generation to another, unspoken rules and 'ways of living life' are being passed down, unconsciously dictating the way we should live, grow, and 'progress' from one self-created stage to another.

If only we have the mental clarity to realize, and also the strength and courage to persevere, that actually, it's Our lives that we're living. Yes, it's not his, hers, theirs, but really YOUR life to live. Yes, it's Yours!

And you are bound to no other rules than your own, and that of to do good.

That you are actually free to live your life the way you want to - provided you harm no one.

That you are free to write your story in ANY WAY you want - free from all expectations - if only you have the courage to continue forth. And the tenacity and perseverance to pull yourself through your own willed journey - without needing to be afraid and worried of the judgments of others.

(Super example: What will happen to me if i choose dancing (my ultimate life passion that gives me ultimate happiness) over, say engineering as a profession? What will me dad say? How will my relatives judge me? Will I be a failure if I don't make that much money? etc etc etc ~ !)

How free the true nature of our lives really are!

Without being held back by the unspoken 'rules' set upon us by no one, like puppets, being pulled through your own journey of life by the unspoken societal force, instead of you yourself scripting the way and forging ahead with your own path with God's guidance.

Do you realize that? That once you put aside all this societal norm crap (the unhealthy ones of course) and live your life for yourself, in your own way and most importantly with an aim to do goodness- a huge weight is lifted from the pressures of you living your life.

No expectations, just your own goals and You to achieve it.

Who says that there is only one way to be successful? And who was it that defined success anyways? And what was his/hers/its description of it? Why should we agree to it and slave our whole lives and health away without realizing the meaning to life, or not knowing what's happiness, or never having the chance to truly experience inner peace amidst all the race and cravings for nothing at the end of the day?

For money, lovers, properties, belongings, statues, and power that you can never bring to grave.

In this day and age, where values are increasingly eroding and human relations are strained, We have momentarily lost sight to the most important thing of all: happiness and peace. Not only for ourselves, but for the betterment of all.

Isn't that what we should be pursuing?

Think about it, you guys, and make that small shift in perspective as you embark on your next second of thoughts. Let it grow with you, from seconds, to minutes, to hours, days, weeks, months, years and so on.

Let's cultivate that thought - that you live this life for your own and by your own, truly your own. Your own journey, your own lessons to learn. Realize the Boundless Magnitude of potential that's surrounding your next step, and every other step for that matter- you can grow in any way you want to positively evolve. Realize it!

If you're afraid of making that one decision, remind yourself - so what! The repercussions or rewards are only of yours to face or let go. Either way, you only have your own good conscience to answer to and have nothing to really lose. So go ahead, dare, dare to take that positive step forward and live your life Gloriously, Beautifully and most of all, full of Love for yourself and others! =) :) :D =D ;) ;D

Sail Away From Safe Harbor‏

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

-- Mark Twain [Samuel Clemens] (1835-1910)

So if I may have this honor to remind you again,

This is really your life to live. Your way to carve - however your heart tells you to.

Free from any unreasonable, meaningless judgement or absurd expectations of others. Who cares what they say? This is really YOUR life and you are so entitled to true happiness. If this concept doesn't come easily to you naturally, I hope you can Wake up and really realize that soon enough!

I hope you get to say to yourself:

What a relieve it is, Free at last!

p.s. - constantly remind yourself that!

Love!

Hello dolls,

How is everyone doing?

What a cultured late afternoon we had~! ;p :) Creativity and being able to use imagination puts me at ease!

Morning was charged up and passionate - in a hot way.

Afternoon-evening was simply lovely! With a huge dose of creative passions of course! ;)

edit: And for night, hehehe~*

Another clearer pic all the way at the end of the post! :)

~*~

So our late Saturday afternoon laced around..

Cheesecakes, teas and beautiful curtains.

We are re-doing our curtains - a lil nice change to spice thing up!

And for me, a lovely time to jump into the creating process - i so adore!

I was also very hands on in the designing of our home when we were about to move in and I love doing it in every way possible! I designed my own room and had a blast! ;)

Once upon a time, I did consider interior designing! But i think that more of my hobby than a career! :)

I adore being surrounded by beautiful fabrics and style books! And oh yes, don't forget a little notepad and a pencil or pen to draw out my ideas to help visualizing them to everyone else!

Aunty Irene, our fav curtain maestro with Luxaflex at Bangsar (now Hunter Douglas), came in today with her fabric samples and what not and we had a blast bouncing ideas off' one another over tea, coffee and yummy cheesecake from Secret Recipe - a total of 6 flavas we packed! :)

I really have to share with you a pic of my gorgeous full flowing silky curtains in my room, the afternoon balmy windy sun made it extremely gorgeous today. Seeing the curls fall was so pretty, almost like a a woman's gorgeous head of loose curls. :) Will do that one day, but today's natural lighting was magnificent!

p.s. - i love keeping windows opened with fresh air coming in! I so love that! =)

Even in winter, i leave a tiny lil slit for it to peek in. Having been blessed with the opportunity to live abroad in 4 season countries, I've had a taste of Airs of all seasons in various weather! conditions

In Winter, you have the still, crisp, cold icy fresh air! :)

Autumn, a certain musky woodiness in the air sometimes..

Spring, need i really say more! ;) But yes, heady scents of excitement blooming in the air. You can literally feel the anticipation about to burst like sif something invincible's stirring hard in the air! Especially so in the early spring time! I've blogged about this during past springs!

Summer, hot hot hot, humid too! And this might be time you smell a tinge of salt in the air - cos you might be at the beach! ;)

edit: Back from dinner at you-know-where, TWINS! :)

We're campin out in my room tonight! :]

Good night sexy!

p.s. - Had one of the most massive-est bumping incident today! Me love! (Ms Seah knows this *wink*)

I bumped into Eric, a Malaysian friend who lives in HK, and whom I met in HK! It's a crazy storieee! But it was good seeing you dude, and what a krazy surprise - that i didn't believe what i saw when i saw you! And the way we caught each other's eyes too, quite the interesting bumping story ! :)

Economically Speaking.

2011-06-25T09:53:00.011+08:00

Annoyed, stunned, but yet eyes opened to new lessons of life.

Have been following two matters closely for certain reasons (Issue 2 just discovered but BLOWS my socks off in the WRONGEST WAY EVER - check it out below! ROAR!!!).

*Cues MASSIVE ROARING sound effect!*

But given the sensitivity of those two topics, and of other reasons, I shan't reveal more beyond the factual nature (instead of identities) of the issues itself. Or rather, it's more of my views upon the synergy and underlying currents I've noticed.

Those who didn't follow the issue might not know what I'm talking about so feel free to give this a miss if you want to k? :) No worries about that.

I just really need to express what had been boiling me up, as an observer and a somewhat stakeholder (i think all of us are stakeholders in this issue - whether one way or another, whether we have anything to with it - directly or indirectly, whether you realize it or not), this very early morning.

1) ~~~ Issue 1 - I couldn't be more excited, and let down by the intense anticipation. I think media had a hand in playing up the hype, but indeed It was "the marriage of the century"! Or rather, the union of the time.

But all echoing disappointing aside, I'd like to think that this taught us all a HUGE lesson (if not many lessons). And that we were all lucky enough to learn them all as observers instead.

I think, and this is just my opinion alone, that the Mother Hen (MH) was wrongly portrayed amongst the Gossipy Neighbors. Maybe usual for the 'parental' figure, (MH) was to be sacrificed - or judged from only surface-level observations, condemned and crucified for anything wrong that's to happen to their 'children'.

For me personally, I think it was a right move to make. It is commendable and applaudable for (MH) to step in. It was not an interfering intervention, but it was one that was necessary. So very Necessary to preserve the well-being of its "children and its family".

It's a shame it had to be done in a sacrificial way, in a way that its saving of the grace was seen as meddling into other's business. But I guess that's unfortunately sometimes what parents go through in their love, duty, responsibility to care for those under their wings.

While i was catching up on the information this morning, even before i had the chance to get thru the whole amazing article, Thoughts and realizations kept stirring and whirring up vigorously in my head. I am no economist by training, but as with many things and elements we have in this world - it closely mirrors life, and at the same time, reveals facades of the human nature at play or being played(toyed) with.

A 'strategic block', the exact phrase that articulated what I had in mind so aptly. I think that was wicked for the outsider to interfere like that. Out of jealousy, out of greed.

It's very much a over-sized soap opera of life.

IMHO, It seems like the plot/story line revolves around the following: ( i shan't go into much details, but i just want to talk about the main stakeholders)

The perempuan simpanan (The other woman, TOW) does not really need the man nor love him at all. Not much substantial, world-ending, need except for maybe monetary gains or the craving of power, or simply just the intention / gleeful ill will at seeing the family of other people breakdown.

But compare this to the Family itself. Every member of the family needs each other, truly love each other and require everyone to be on board to grow.

And i see the situation almost like having the (TOW) SUDDENLY announces she's preggers (whether for real or not), to wreck havoc on the family and to make the man leave his healthy unit to be responsible for her initially, unsubstantial, petty self in the family's bigger picture. Cunning cunning cunning.

With that sudden BLOCK, all the family's plans to grow forward together; maybe to have more kids, or to migrate somewhere, or to buy a gorgeous house, were halted altogether.

(TOW) prolly had issues with the family growing, having the Man pulled further away from her clutches whatsoever. So the day before they were set to say, buy that lovely big house, she drop the bombshell.

Quietly appearing out of nowhere from the background. Like a cunning, unexpected "guest" of a fox.

And there you go - the big plans are jeopardized. There is always the possibility of the family reuniting again and what not. But that is another uncertain story for an unforeseen day in the future. It might or might not happen. But for now, it seems like (TOW) and her just-in-time block puts her in the winner takes all situation.

And maybe, (MH), with the knowledge of (TOW)'s plan, was the matriarchal figure in this whole saga that had to put pressure down to say NO to her daughter to have more kids/to buy that house, to prevent her child (the wife of the said two-timing man) from getting seriously hurt, or be embroiled in a long term suffering in her family.

And thus, from the surface, Gossipy Neighbors, or maybe even Gossipy Relatives in this case, didn't know (MH)'s true intentions and put the blame on her for being such a meddler. Let the young ones decide on their own!; they lamented. Without even delving deeper into the Real issue and human-nature driven politics behind the scene.

Sad but true. It is what it is in this case. Hope it takes a better turn, but for now. A major lesson learned - in life, and also in the business world.

2) ~~~ Issue 2 - Utter crap. This has nothing to do with me, but to whoever this actually affects, I TOTALLY HEAR YOU!

I actually read their job posting ad online and can't help but shake my head at the debauchery. You call yourself a world leading *something*, but your thoughts and visions are second to none on the Crap list. WOW! I can't believe this exists!

It says, randomly:

After the usual list of requirements they seek in a candidate:

"XXX preferred."

What the gorgeous love is this crap!

I understand maybe that if say, you are a company based in, say.... Japan, and your operations are very Japanese language based, you would say:

"Japanese speaking candidate preferred."

That's alright but there is always more room to tweak it accordingly in line of the qualities to be a FAIRER & EQUAL RIGHTS EMPLOYER (as what most MNCs advocate, good job!).

BUT:

When XXX, just a surface-based non criterion is not even a needed element to succeed... WTGLF (WHY THE GORGEOUS LOVE FOR???!!!) would you be such a Swine Head to say such a thing!

Omg, this is really preposterous! And utter stupidity. Sorry, but this really ticks me off!!! And would irk anyone who read it.

You are either making a fool of those you are trying to 'benefit and protect'; implying that they need such swine-headed caveats and clauses to secure a future. That is so disrespectful to their abilities as normal human beings like anyone else.

Or you simply are an ignorant piece of crap that thinks it only takes a certain type of classification, XXX, to make your organization grow - to be The World's Largest CRAPHEAD!!!!

wha.........???????

Like seriously, Omg.

The job/program they are trying to recruit for is supposedly to groom future leaders of tomorrow... But seriously, if you think to be leaders, you can only be XXXs, that's where I would bid you Good Luck surviving the global arena.

This can never be the icon of a developed, value-based organization. Which is exactly what this company claims to be btw.!!! omg. I don't know why it's not ashamed of itself.

This is the iconic pivotal element of failure!!!

DIVERSITY is what we need, you live in a country where diversity is in the air you breathe, it is flowing in the blood all around you, embrace that!

WOoshhaaaa! What the crap man.

If only you get a chance to see this job posting ad.

This Issue 2 really sets off the bomb!

Shame On You!

THE END!

~*~*~*

Can't sleep tonight!

2011-06-23T22:47:00.010+08:00

Here are some pics to share of our salsa adventures!

As usual, click to enlarge! :) And don't mind our sweaty faces and messy hair! And to be honest, The sweatier and messier - means the crazier the dancing was! ;) (my friend Kris brings shirts along to change into in between! How crazy is that! It's a sport to him! hahaha!)

We bring in newcomers every time we go, friends who've never danced salsa etc -and they all got hooked! As long as you put the first step out to try, you're never going back! ;)

Contentment~*

2011-06-22T23:46:00.006+08:00

Tomorrow, I'm going in to submit my acceptance letter to the offer. Have finally made my decision! :) And I'm looking forward to an exciting journey filled with bigger, positive growth ahead! :)

Along the way, I am so grateful and thankful for all the amazing support and opportunities I've received from countless beings out there, and I'm looking forward to more in the future! And also for the chance to be in the other side of the picture; to "pass it on" to deserving people next time! :)

Amazing, how people come into your life at different times to teach you different lessons. And sometimes, when it's time to part, it's time to part.

But for the better part of it, I'm so blessed that I've still managed to keep those who are away physically, near to me spiritually! :)

I appreciate immensely the fact that though these people are everywhere in this great big world; New Zealand, Aussie, Us, Taiwan, HK, Germany, Korea etc... They have me in their hearts just the way I have them in mine! :)

Always lovely to be hearing from your friends who you don't have the chance to see physically, (some you don't even know when next EVER in your life you can see again).

Which is why I cherish the opportunities I have to get together with whoever I can while I can. I guess this only strikes you if you've been away from the country and been to so many places where you meet different amazing individuals at different times. This is why i make the effort to keep in touch, for real, instead of....fb-ing! :P

Quality, is something I really value here.

So what, if you stalk each other from detail to detail online but when you meet each other in person, conversations just don't flow! So while social networking is becoming more and more of the norm, Using the heart and human touch is much more important. =)

Thank you to all the beautiful darlings I've heard from these few days! It's amazing how each and everyone of you bring back a certain phase of memories back to me. And while I talk to you guys, my mind is just transported into lands and times far far away while just being right here, right now where I'm at. Mind blowing!

Shine on, My beautiful loves! :)

Beautiful tulips from a friend!

Sent in for my US graduation from HK!

Have a good one dolls! :)

Friends! :)

2011-06-20T23:32:00.007+08:00

Hello dolls!

Hows everyone been? Haven't been able to update yall in a while! Been pretty busy recently - but I'm loving it and am so so thankful for all the great opportunities given to me! :)

* Interviews and meetings with great companies! * Catching up with awesome girlfriends! * Bumping into them luvs all over (if you know me, you'd know how I adore bumping into awesomepeople! :]) * And hopefully, planning a short travel with a friend before I start working - wanna Join? ;) Am looking at Perhentian/Bali/Cruise! Searching for good deals etc! ^^

So blessed, especially when I take a moment from the packed schedules of these few weeks to contemplate and reflect. And for that, I want to pen down all these different experiences I am so grateful for and humbled to be part of. To be given these amazing opportunities in such prestigious programs instead of the norm entry levels with the Global Leaders in their respective fields including an Amazing international opportunity abroad with a leading fashion giant!

So much to learn, so much opportunities, even more to see and experience!!!

I've had the chance to meet and connect so many brilliant minds, leaders of their fields and amazing figures to learn so much from! How awesome is that?

Also, something special to note: Throughout these few weeks, I've had the chance to meet with A-M-A-Z-I-N-G female leaders of their field (ironically - beyonce's latest is playin on my comp~ hehe..if you know which song im referring to! *wink*) Inspiring and empowering to see these leaders doin so well in their profession!

Looking forward to everything! Love! :)

You guys have a good weekend!

And REMINDER you guys! Papa's day next sunday yo! *love!* :)

Love,

M~*

Blessed for everything that's happened, is happening, and will happen,

Blessed for the realizations,

Blessed for the stories to keep and cherish.

Realizations, a number of them, have dawned upon me in those rare quiet moments I have~ whether when I'm thinking to myself, or simply just maintaining a still mind.

Somehow, when you're at peace and still inside, profound thoughts naturally dawn upon your mind.

And if there is one thing for me to say, it would be this:

Honey, it wasn't really that we weren't right for each other or anything else that one's grasping desperate state of mind could find to use as a poor degrading excuse to try explain things,

If you think about it closely, or simply, don't think at all and just maintain inner peace,

You'll just suddenly realize that actually The Timing simply wasn't right, it wasn't right at all for it to happen at this time.

The timing, in many aspects of it.

Sometimes when you're too wrapped up in a situation, too involved from the first-person's-point-of-view, you miss out on noticing the bigger picture most of the time.

But now, today, think about it, from every angle you can find, and you will realize what I just did.

And So, for all that we've achieved together, for the journey we've walked, and for all that has happened,

I'm proud of us, truly am.

Well done! To you, to me, to Us.

All the Happiness won't mean a thing in this world if you didn't have someone to share it with?

2011-05-29T22:57:00.007+08:00

||=A Post on Top of a Post=||

Try a new thing, I have my reasons for this.

Let's treat this as two different posts.

It truly is. But because, I have my reason for doing so, I will just place this new one on top here.

The title of this post was for the previous one with the pics, just scroll down!

I have realized three things tonight. They may be things I've watched on the tele, heard from people, read from lyrics, seen from books... things which I've acknowledged that exists in the world

But they never did really STRIKE home as they did tonight. If this benefits you in one way or another, that's great! I'm delighted that it helped. If it doesn't, that's alright either. At least you've read it and it lingers somewhere in your memory, and one day you may call upon it. Like how it happened for me tonight.

1) A winner, a fighter, is one who would stand up again the 101th time when he or she falls the 100th time.

You may fall again, and again and again. Let yourself cry. Let yourself hurt. Give yourself time to heal. And when you finally feel like you're done crying, hurting, grieving, Stand Up again. Because that's what we are born into this world for.

Babies walk at the coming of age,

Baby giraffes wobble their first steps not too long after they are borne, fall they might a few times, but you don't really see animals grow up lying down in the defeat of their fall forever, don't you?

Just the Law of Nature. You are born to WALK.

So stand up again, after you fall and scrape your knee.

2) You can know a lot about someone just by looking into their trash. You've prolly seen it on TV ala "I pronounce you... Chuck and Larry", prolly read how detectives go tru people's trash to find clues. But it's true.

Think about it.

Say for example, for some reason, whether you just fought with a your bf, or pulled your sisters hair and she cat-scratched you all over, or just feeling sad from a particular circumstance, you've been hiding yourself and crying in your room for the past hour.

Loadsaaa tissue wontons (dumplimgs), loadsa white kleenex balls everywhere. And when you're done crying and wallowing in all that sadness, you pick yourself up and freshen up in the bathroom. Trying to hide your puffy eyes and nose to pretend like not a single teardrop (even more; a river) has flown down your cheeks. Pick up all that tissue balls you made and rid them in the dustbin.

yada yada yada

You spray on that perfume, put on that bright cheery sundress, get yourself done up and all pretty up to face the world the next day.

Nobody knows what happened. None could've guessed seeing you did a bang-up job hiding it so well.

But hey, don't forget the person who clears out your trash for you (if you have one)...

Maybe your housekeeper, maid, mum, wife, sis, whatever! Whoever's in charge of emptying the trash day-to-day.

That person may be wondering what's this unusual magnitude of overflowing sea of white balls in your trash can the next morning! And usually, people know.

And coming to think about it, generally speaking, one can know you on a rather more intimate level just by looking at your trash can. Even more intimate details that maybe your coworkers know you (people who spent a huge fraction of hours in a day with you).

They may know which deodorant brand you like, what restaurants you frequent and the things you order (receipts), what sentimental values have you (old trinkets you throw away), your handwriting, signature, doodles (scraps and bits of paper you throw away), what candy you like, what movies you watch, have you been sick (medicine packaging), and even to...what condoms you use.. or how many you use in a a certain period! Let's be realistic here and apply this to real-life situations.

From here, they know, roughly what kinda person you are,

considerate? meticulous? neat? sick? cheappy? extravagant? movie-freak? the list goes on!

Haha, so be mindful !

3) That you don't need XXX ( this can be a relationship, new car, more wealth, a first class ticket etc etc - basically, insert your *wish* here) to be happy.

Sometimes people are like; "Oh, if only i have a boyfriend, then I'll be happy!"

and they go on wishing and wishing and wishing for that one special guy they'll meet somewhere, somehow, sometime.

and few months down the line, got themselves the guy, the relation they've always wanted.

Then they realize that they are dissatisfied... reasons may be: "Oh, he's so inconsiderate!"

"Snores like a pig"

"Has abso no social skills in front of my friends"

"Matches a bright neon green sweater with orange slacks"

or whatever else have you...

Then they'll move on to the next "if-goal" I'll name em that..

"If only he knows how to carry out decent conversations when we go out with my friends, I'll be happy."

"If only he knows how to ask about how I'm feeling, I'll be happy."

You get my drift.

Then on, it's an ongoing, endless thirst of "if-goal(s)" to pursue. Even when you get to one of your "if-goals", and dear bf of yours realizes that neon green doesn't go with orange one day, you'll keep feeling dissatisfied and in search of another expectation of your other half to achieve to make you finally happy. A lie.

Yes, when he finally knows how to talk about the world economy and politics with your fellow gf's other halves, and talks like a wall-streeter who knows his thing, you may be proud and elated of the newfound change. But before long, you'll find that his new talking habits get too much, that he knows of nothing else but the things he try so hard to peruse the daily newspapers for.

And you'll start complaining; "Do you ever know ANYTHING ELSE to talk about? Hearing you talk about the stocks plumeting and sky-rocketing all day long whenever we go out with my friends is getting boring, baby. All my friends only think of you as the stock market news reporter guy. You know how embarrassing it is for my boyfriend to be called such a lifeless financial guy??"

To put this in the very least serious light.

You get my point?

It's that we keep chasing and chasing these if-goals and that at the end of the day can never achieve what we set out to achieve in the first place - Happiness.

We jump into relationships thinking we'll be happy, only to find out that those dreams of happy days ever after don't really come true. And then we get mad, frustrated, lose faith. And ask - why is tis happening to me???!

Thing is, in reality, there is no promise of 100% sadness free days. Never was, never will. Things happen, life is a constant stage of flux, of changes.

And there is no such thing as a life raft of an idea that we can cling on to, to bring us happiness. This idea are things like having a boyfriend, having a bigger house etc - you if-goals.

Thing is, you find happiness here and now. With or without a boyfriend. With of without a sexier body. With or without a ticket to travel the world.

Happiness is all around us, here and now.

The challenge is to know how to tap into it.

Because, think about it guys, who's to say you'd be happier if you had a boyfriend or a bigger house.

With a boyfriend, comes lovely roses (maybe, if he is the romantic kind), but comes even bigger heartaches, tears, fights and all. They may be sweet times, but there is always also the bad ones that can emotionally strangle you too. Just saying.

Then with a bigger house comes all that glam, all that prestige and statues boosts and bragging "rights". But with that comes the fear of security (robberies?), of who to employ to clean and maintain it (lest you would like to break your back over housekeeping the big villa of yours), or how to train the maids etc well to uphold your Casa de Grand!

You see what I mean?

There is always two sides to things, even more. But point is, there is never a promise that IF you have xxx, you'll be happy. Or if only xxx, then only then you'll be happy.

People have said, You NEED to have someone, you'll die, crush, whatever without.

But what's the point of forcing something that's not right, not suitable, and not good for you. Or forcing something to happen, it may be a good thing, but the timing is not right. You can't just settle for that, can you?

Because at the end of the day, that will be the source of your misery.

So isn't it it better of to be happy alone, than be unhappy being in a relationship?

And we should Stop, really stop, pinning our hopes and happiness on those if-goals.

Happiness starts within and radiates outwards.

If you're good with who you are, what you have, more will come - naturally and beautifully for you.

And then, you'll come to realize, if it's WITH, then its a good add on to have, but nevertheless, if it's WITHOUT, that's fine either.

Either way, you're well enough with what you have. It may be nice to have someone by your side, but your happiness doesn't depends on it because you are happy enough as it is already. That Guy or Girl is just another element to brighten up your life, add a touch of sparkle to your already bright life. You get what I mean?

Just wanted to share these thoughts with you, whoever you may be. I certainly hope it will benefit you in one way or another, but even if not, just some thoughts to share. :)

You have a good night, and sweet dreams! *kiss*

=============================================================

Hello dolls~!

The title of this post just flew by in my head before i started typing this out. Was not related to the following pics i was about to share.. (but yes, they are related indirectly of course; cos I strongly believe that friends are a lovely bunch to share happiness with - but in today's case, just not the cause of this title) =)

Had two outings with lovely ppl whom i haven't had the chance to see much of, but did manage to spend some good time together before everyone starts jet-setting off to everywhere! ;)

Started off with bringing my Puncak Girls to Social@KL located in the brand new, up and coming, G Tower! As usual, awesome service, with yummers desserts thrown with compliments from the chef!

And as always, good company! Our dinner for three! ;)

And No Thank You, to Ms Seah for a good THREE QUARTERS of the night being tormented about NAT & JON - them fictional characters!

and their house

and the hospitality of which..

hahah etc etc

hahahah... this is such an inside story!

And Nat and Jon must be like - " why are we FICTIONAL characters?!?! " reading this

haha, no worries! not you my loves~! I promise! ;)

Heheh... and last night, a long girls' date with TWO SCARY MOMENTS thrown into our adventure!

hahaha, seems like each time Lyd and I go out, we go for adventures all the way!! ;) ahaha, GOOD, SAFE ones i hope!

Nevertheless, a good time! Brought her to try out a place i haven't tried myself - Double Tree at KL! So excited to be discovering all these cool new undiscovered places springing up in KL!

And since I still don't have our pic from last night to share, here are some taken by my phone pre-"date"! hahaha...

While waiting for Lyd to arrive! That's me getting ready for a night out! ;)

Anyways, you guys have a blessed week yall! Go and Love love love, your beloved people around you. Tell your family, other half, friends how much they mean to you. Show them while you still have the chance, because remember, you're oh so lucky to have them beside you! :)

On the other hand, like a psa Message they have in the US - Stay away from toxic people who are no good for you. Because you deserve better than that.

Now go out there and shine on, you lovely lovely person, YOU! ;)

I have to go chase the little child, my bro (not so little at ALL!) to bed! He's got skool tmrw! :D and then I'll continue shining! ;) Or better, I'll just shine at the same time, at all times! :)

Good nights and have a great week ahead!! ;)

Touch, a stroke of feather mark on the prints of your heart.

2011-05-23T23:56:00.004+08:00

I came across a striking question i just read somewhere:

"Do you still remember the person you were when you first came here?"

Although you might not get the exact context, but this sentence can be substituted in a million ways relevant to you.. say:

Do you still remember the person you were when you first came to the United States?

Do you still remember the person you were when you first stepped into college?

Do you still remember the person you were when you first started high school?

Do you still remember the person you were when you first held hands with your other half?

Do you still remember the person you were when you first had your heart broken?

Do you still remember the person you were when you first had your child?

A multitude of do you still remember-s!

Truth is, i think i do.

I still remember every moment of everything; or so it seems.

When i tried to trivia-fy (test) myself, it seems like i can recollect every memory i have had. and those moments still feel so surreal.

But to revisit them seems like a jolt/shock-pump to my emotions. it's like ynoe, the revival thing they do at the patient's chest you see at the emergency room scenes in movies.

But, it's true. I do remember.

I remember how it felt, how i was, who i was, the thoughts i had etc.

I still remember the first time when i was about done with primary school and ready to register into my high school.

I still remember the first moments i met friends who i became life-long friends with.

I still remember how it felt with the breeze caressing our faces as we sat on the back stairs just jiwanging after school. (haha)

I still remember how it felt to be blessed with the awards and achievements.

I still remember the rush of emotions and uncontrollable tears when the great announcements were made.

Yet, i still remember the anxious moments before - moments where you felt like your heart was about to beat outta your rib cage.

I still remember the first time i saw him, him, him and him. And how i felt during all those moments.

And i still remember the day i set foot to pursue my studies in a land furthest away from the rest.

I still remember the early morning goodbye hugs and kisses before I finally set foot to carve a path on my own.

All those things and more, I remember.

A good friend in The States recently left me an offline msg on skype, (yes, given timezones per se, this is our preferred mode of leaving each other msgs as and when we like it)

and she was telling me about one of our mutual friend's bday was just recently... as she recollected how time flies.

And i remembered exactly how last year was, during the said friend's bday. the arrangements we made, the emotions i had and what not.

Crazy, how time flies. Crazy, how so many things has happened within the last few years for everyone.

Or is it because I have grown up more? For which accounts for the different facades life has introduced me to.

Whatever it is, scary and special how memories and emotions never leave you. They are simply and merely parked aside while not in used, but can be brought onto full light again once its called upon.

Maybe it's just me. Just my character that the emotions are all swimming in the sea of my mind, never left at all.

In essence, I don't really forget easily. I don't really forget people, faces, family, friends, kindness, love, but also any unjust that has occurred along the way to anybody at all.

Along the notion of this though, I'm thinking, if half a century on, I have this inner thought again, what kind of memories would I like to have? What would I remember?

How would I like to look back upon life?

How would I like to remember the people that have came into my life and touched me in the way they were meant to?

How would I like to remember all the trials and tribulations that life has taught me about?

How would I like to remember the triumphs and celebrations I have had the opportunity to experience?

How would I like to remember my 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and early 70s?

How would I like to remember the cozy times I have with my family, the laughter and excitement I shared with my friends, and the magical moments where my lover just held me close in the silence of just the two of us?

How would I remember the person I was, the emotions I felt on this midnight, where I am sitting very contemplatively by myself, at risk of being exposed to the mozzies, in the still air of a warm tropical night where everyone else is asleep, and I'm typing on this thing called a 'laptop', with the lightweight touch of a tissue on my leg, and the only sound i hear are the ones coming from my laptop cooler fan, the airplane that flew by two moments ago, the dog that barked simultaneously, and that faint sound of the Malaysian still night where you hear the faint sound of the motorbikes cutting through the thickness of the night outside, as it approaches, passes you by, and zooms away; leaving its faint trail of buzzing sound.

How would I remember the many trips to foreign lands I have been blessed with?

How would I remember the look and love in the eyes of my beloveds as they smile back at me?

How would I like to remember this journey I'm taking?

And most importantly, how would I like to remember the person I was, am and will be?

And to think that, Yes, we have the power to change, to influence this in the mapping our bigger picture - is an enormous amount of potential energy there isn't it?

Well loves, let's see, 50 years on! :)

How we will remember the person we were once like, once upon a time in this very moment, this very day as I write these very words and the very emotions conjured in you and me as we both read this piece. And, before I pen off, may I send some love and peace, to the 50 years on US that we will become as we recollect this thread of memory sitting in a quiet, rare, peaceful, contemplative moment, half a century on. Peace and love to me, peace and love to you then, the 50 years later us. Magical isn't it?

Swan bun is home!

Ah Suan is back!

Just receive "the Text" (Our inaugural tradition whenever i arrive and fly off)!!

hehe this time its from her!

Happy!

* Tonnes of Jigglypuffy hugs & kisses*

Beautiful as it is~*

2011-05-12T16:23:00.000+08:00

Never before seen pics ahead! :)

Hello Dolls ~!*

Was just driving just now and i realized how much i used to enjoy being on the wheels alone with my fav self-compilation cd with all my fav songs + fav driving songs playing. Hehe!

So lucky to have this amazing babe to drive, so lucky for everything i have and am blessed with. What's there to not be happy about right? :)

Anyways, I'm so thankful to have so many supportive people around me that lend a helping hand, do whatever they can to make things happen lovely for me. For that, I thank You. :)

And, on this thunderstormy tropical evening we have~ 2 things dawned upon my mind:

Women deserve to be pleasured in uncountable ways. And i think, a guy should be happy and proud to do whatever she can to make his woman feel beautiful. If i were him, I'd leave her flowers, and little notes everywhere when she least expects it. Hold her close and tell her how much she means to me as much as I can. And enjoy the sight of her getting ready to face the world in the morning, or as she dresses up to her best before a lovely evening out.

Lol, this sounds wrong - but obviously you know i don't mean it that way. i just find women (most of them at least - sans the female dog-puppy in the previous few post) are such lovely, tender, beautiful creatures that deserves all that. :)

So bois, treasure your gals and make them feel loved- always! And always, be careful with her heart. As strong as she may be on the outside, she always has a tender heart inside - maybe even one she refuses to admit of :)

~*

Thingy number 2:

I love being all-woman. I love the dressing up, dolling up, perfume, ribbons, pretty summer dresses, body hugging outfits, gorgeous heels, curly long hair, and all! =)

At the same time, I love having to enjoy my education career, actual coming-career path, be strong for what i want, who i love, and what not.

Women, versatile people aren't we.

One moment you can find her nurturing and loving,
The other you can see her fiercely defending those she loves,
Another moment she's your doe-eyed lover, whom you wish to protect with all your heart,
Another she's a furious banshee storming at you for breaking that promise you did...
But when you show her a little tenderness that comes from the heart, she'll soften and continue to pamper you again...

and what not!

I think Ladies are tres magnifique that way! haha!

Which is why~~~

We should only settle for what you truly deserve. Not jerks who never really cared and never really will at the end of the day.

So boys, be the man that opens the door and let your lady walk in first. Show her genuine tenderness. Respect her for who she is. And she'll return bearing gifts aplenty, devotions like none other, hugs and tender kisses to keep you warm - what's not to love about that ay?

And at the end of the day, all you gotta do is try a little Real tenderness~!*

=)

Have a good one you guys! Will be heading to Singapore soon! Looking forward to our stay at Marina Bay Sands! :)

On another note, the mail is here - To Japan or not to Japan this July!

This is The Love!

And....as promised!

A very lil glimpse into my travel pics that ive never really published before! lol! and also with the additions of nice pics taken with friends to include!

I'd call this mini-collection; Lovely! :)

Please enjoie, sweethearts!~* (Pics are in no particular order)

Gorgeous Nice, Southern France

On a winter mid-morning, I think it was Christmas Day? Where we were soooo sad that all the awesome boutiques and shops were closed, but stumbled across the gorge riviera front where everybody else was! It was lovely~*

This was back in 2009.

The only part that was warm enough to actually walk around with your coat removed~ Tho i have yet to take mine off at this point! hehe! =)

Lovely sight that i just had to capture. Old couples, just enjoying the view, and life together! =)

The view surrounding the Hearst Castle, California 2011. zomg, i love Old Blood Aristocracy stories like that. Very inspiring, their history of how they Made it.

Love love love this! I have other pics depicting clearer the rolling greens around the castle on the hilltop. But if i show you the zoomed in version without showing you the big pic, you wont get the picture of the sprawling meadows around it! hehe!

Tho i always think that the most gorge things on travels, are sometimes better captured by eyes and memories than thru the lens. cos we were in this very small piece of place - so called observation deck to look at the view. so seriously, a limited frame of a picture does not do the view full justice.

Front Seat baby! On the Helicopter ride at the Grand Canyons! Awesome!

Also on our 2011 Grad Trip! :)

Lols, candid! Mighty sunny with clear blue skies there!

But don't let that fool you, it's actually still a bit chilly~!*

Down the chopper ride on the Colorado river we go!

The lady was nice enough to let us at the wheel! bro actually drove the boat man! like seriously drove it, accelerator and all! haha!

Us exploring the several look out points at the canyon, Awesome view!

Very hot too!

Same West Coast 2011 trip! :)

ANd then i flew to HK to them loves!

This is my mouse, kimmy. Coincidentally, there is a Malaysian connection here; she's half German and half Malaysian! tee-hee!

haha, partners in crime!

You really shouldn't know what we two girls are up to constantly. Haha!

This was us on a night out at Aqua Bar, TST.

And now, some random pics outta the timeline! lol!

I did this, at least 2/3 years back! heheh! Them loves!

Haha, and this!

Playing some game with Lyd!

I don't know what exactly we were doing, but i think the laughter shared between two friends in this pic is priceless and so natural!

One of my fav pic with reugina! hahaha..ok nola nola..boy reads this blog~

*Maintain, maintain*

With Reugene

*ahem* hahaha suddenly feels so proper!

Aw, how we've grown! :P

ANd this,

Was a lovely spot underground; like literally!

In Italy!

And this was us, once upon a time~

Before I left for The States.

This was in 2008.

Not too long ago actually!

Still interning at that time, came from work!

Made a pit stop backhome to get chingy too and changed into more 'night' earrings! lol!

hehe, look at Ms Seah, kononnya so innocent! =)

Bren, i can't wait to see you soon! =) it's been 3 years luv! (tho it felt like ages)

And last but not least,

A poster I designed for the First Ever Charity Prom in Taylor's ADP that my team and I pioneered!

And we successfully raised RM10,000.00 for The National Autism Society of Malaysia (NASOM).

So proud of everyone for this successful collective effort! =)

We were also the first to rent out the then-new Gardens Hotel Ballroom! hehe! All the negotiations, i tell you!

All things glam and classy is The Love! :)

Hope you enjoyed the pics as much as I did recollecting them again!

Have a fantastic evening my luvs! And thanks for coming by! :)

This is the most pointless thing I have ever heard of.

2011-05-09T14:03:00.005+08:00

A worthless guy who wants you but never does anything to get you other than saying he wants you - what's the point in that right?

What's the point in all the melodramatic talking when you never ever once pull your socks up and step up your game to do anything at all?

Just like a piece of mud sitting there; just keep melodramatically squeaking about itself; how it wants you, how its sad 'and stuff'....But never stands up and actually DO something!

What a joke!

Good thing she woke up!

Another thing about kids these day; MSN is the way to go!

MSN to get together, MSN to break up!

hahah!

An even bigger joke!

Like its so hard to get a phone card, borrow a phone from someone around you, or find a public phone, make the ffort to go face-to-face if you really care about her, or at least, even cooler than typing on MSN - Skype!

ynoe...like things you pay or other than leeching free wifi from somewhere?

Lol?

Unbelievable! I'm speechless! haha!

What is the world turning into?

Who's your Little Miss & Mr?

2011-05-09T12:16:00.007+08:00

I saw this little google icon this morning and it instantly transported me back to a time in my younger years where i was absolutely marveled at the Little Miss and Mr Men series i had!

Also, I found so much fun collecting them all as they together made up a collection of books~ especially on the spine of the book and when you put them together forming the bigger picture of one long line of books that read "Little Miss" or sth like that! :)

I still keep them till today and guard them with all my might to not be thrown away! haha, along with my archie comics and enid blyton books!

The Love!

Absolutely wonderful reads that children of today should be more exposed to instead of vampires and werewolf cult novels, IMHO.

I think it cultivates a sense of creative, positive imagination that children today need. And also to play with REAL toys, instead of those that require Electricity to function ie video games and such! They need to experience building with their hands, get hands-on, play in the garden, marvel at insects and any other tiny creatures around them! Play pretend, or cooking, or house, or whatever it is kids once upon a time played with! Only then can the mind expand, and the creative juices get flowing!

The older generations produced movers and shakers, pioneers and visionaries. But it seems like today, a bunch of generic 'cult-following' followers are born. Where they will do nothing else but crowd around like flies, hovering over the latest trend. and before long, lose their interest and hop onto another.

Doesn't it ever occur to you, that quality in everything has dropped since last time? And this is not only my personal observation, but of many that have come before me.

Service alone is terrible, etiquette hasn't gotten the imperative and utmost weight in the society that it deserves, and just the quality of the 'human being' seems to have gone wary. Of course, there are also a brilliant group emerging, those who know the preciousness of Mother Nature and are campaigning all their might to preserve Earth.

But overall, i really see a bunch of... Clones?

Where girls haven't got their personal styles, but are obsessed with whatever the editors decide are to be on the glossy?

Young ladies, instead of reaching the height of their full blooms, are just mere prototypes of one another - with the same head of dyed hair, curling-iron curled rolls, same type of primer, foundation, way to wing the tip of your eye and what not. The much-obsessed Chanel inspired back before they can even pronounce Chanel well and whatever it is.

Don't get me wrong, I love fashion - adore it!

But what i enjoy about it most, is the fact that it comes from within. There's an element of me in what I wear; in fact, a very strong embodiment. And heck we all know, I'm not one who is obsessed about the latest fad. To be very honest, and without any offense meant, I'd rather be the one who's starting my own trend.

Tell you a little story that shocked us all, that few of us witnessed recently in Mid Valley!

This happened in the parking lot. There was a family driving around to find parking; the usual business as you get into a mall. And suddenly, the father noticed an empty spot, so he made a quick stop; perhaps a little quicker than usual - but i reckon that's normal and understandable in a hunt-for-parking scenario no?

So he needed to do a reverse parking due to the length of his car and thus signalled to do so..

To our surprise, we heard a loud HONK, HONK, HONK coming from the random silver color Honda (i think) at the back of the said family's car. Inside, was a young lady refusing to budge. I would say at most 3 years older than me. All made up and slapped on with 6 inches thick foundation to look like a 'lady'. And everybody was witnessing the whole scene.

So cars, started to reverse a bit to make room for the parking car to reverse and there was a good 6 feet or more space behind the silver Honda to also reverse to let the car in. But the very young lass, or "lady", refused to budge. With a huge ugly tatrum-y pout, she looked a defiant chinese female version of the following: -

But she's not fat la, or so i think, can see clearly from my car...

But i would say, she would be the kind of made-up plastic barbie doll female dog that many silly blind guys would think is hot! hahahah!

And so female old puppy (cos she's not exactly a teen - hold that 3-years-older-than-me-supposed-young-lady image in your mind as you picture this) refused to budge, shouting in chinese "Eh! Yo don't know how to drive ah?" *HONK, HONK, HONK* making up a scene, holding up the entire traffic coming into the parking lot. So the father signaled the guards nearby to help 'usher' her to fregging hit the reverse gear. Of which the silly traffic guards just stood there was doing what they do best - being good for nothing as they stood there and watched like a spectator, before they try to ask her to reverse.

And the silly "hot" female puppy... mind you, she's supposedly a young modern looking urbanite - another one of those fashion trend-chasing, make-up slapping, skinny, supposedly 'nice looking' gal...

Reluctantly or rather, seeming stubbornly forced to, reversed into ALL that great ocean of empty space the rest of the cars made for her, all the while with that stupid grimace that the whole world was witnessing, and continued honking like a big fool as she reversed *imagine that*

And only then the family could park their car in.

Then guess what?

The grand finale!

When the female dog-puppy (really, i can only find this as the most harmless way to call her) opens her mouth!

She drove smack in front of the family's car (still holding up the now what's become a longer line of traffic behind her)

and wound down her window;

and shouted,

in front of guards and the whole world to see...

and mind you, she should be in her early twenties while the guy with his family, is not only a big man, who is about 30 years her senior!!!

"EH F*CKER! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE AH?"

before she sped off for her life before anyone can catch her! wahahhahahahahahaha! *jaws drop*

even the lau-pau (lousy-pousy) guards shook their heads!

What kind of "girl" has our society produced weih!!!! zomggg!

She's lucky she didn't bang her flat face on the wall,

Or no young guys would chase her down and give her the smacking of her life!

She seriously just hasn't kena-ed yet; in today's day and age where people are so violent and aggressive, where if it was another person with a bad temper would have given her a tight slap across her face.

"Young girl like that - who does she think she is?"

said one of our friends as we related the story to him.

"Some guy should just chase her down and slap that B.tch!"

said another.

So yes, that young 'girl' in white driving some silver color Honda or something;

Shame on you! Seriously!

What's the big deal, that you can't take of a family tryina find parking?

And the fact that she dared to curse like that not only in front to the public, but in front of a family, of a guy whose sooo much older than her??

And, A GUY for goodness sake!

seriously, she just got away lucky this time. a lil nympho like her would surely kena if it was some hot blooded young guy, and then i think her already flat face would not be able to be flattened anymore till it concaves in.

And guards in malls - needa step-up their game! i've witnessed two cases recently already! guards, who are SHORTER than the already petite moi, who don't dare to get involved when a "violent" outbreak happens smack right in the middle of popular crowded malls even when summoned by passer-bys (they just stick further closer to the wall - seemingly hoping a big hole would open in the middle of the walls and they can vanish away from the scene like frightened little chickens)...

That would be a story for another day.

But seriously,

What is becoming to this world man! ZOMG. this is not modernization - is the merosot-ization man!

****ooooooooooshaaaaaaaaaa****

*breathes*

Anyways, I seriously hope, that a spark of real humanity will ignite in the hearts of the lost ones around us in this day and age, and instead of chasing material trends, go after real happiness and life!

And btw, what a long way we've come from our Little Miss'es chat;

But would like to share my fav Little Miss with you~

She's--------

The first one I bought! :)

Have a good one guys and girls, hope you're well and thriving in this intense heat and thunderstorm spell we've been having!

Loves!

Mun~*

A Day of Goodness! =) Our Very Own Pre Mummy's Day! ;)

2011-05-08T15:29:00.007+08:00

Yesterday we had our Mummy's Day Eve Outing from Morning to Night! hehe!

With 2 generations of Omma (s)! My Mum and Popo! =)

God bless!~*

A day of Good stuff too!

Day started off with me waking up to cook her a healthy breakkie and running up to wake her up in bed! The excitement is forever loved, on my end at least! :)

Followed by the unveiling of the coolessssst whisky+awesome mechanism box by Dad before we headed out, to bring out for dinns.

Then, we headed to the Lancel Fashion Show cum High Tea event we were invited too~ sorry no pixxies! too busy enjoying it! hehehe! =)

And to Gourmet Heritage Village at Lot 10 for uber yummilicious old-school Malaysian Delicacies! The place was also patronized by famous stars including our very own Malaysian Bond Girl herself! Dato' Michelle Yeoh! :)

yall should seriously check that place out, i find the concept so cool. The fact that the management actually went to these generation-old famous stores to propose for the bosses to open a store at the Heritage Village! Hidden gem this place is, and if you're a hardcore seriously pro KL Foodie, you ought to know the stores there! ;) And seriously, these stalls ; in their original locations are our typical coffee shops, hole-in-wall locations and what not~ so that's why you gotta be a serious foodie to have known them! ;)

Then, we headed into Uniqlo at Fahrenheit 88. People who know, knows why I'm mentioning Uniqlo! :)

And to Pavillion! hehe! and we were walking along the stretch on foot like tourists. haha! how often do we KL people WALK? haha!

And the cherry on the cake for that was omgzzzzorgasmic cars parked all over its valet entrance! for a girl like me, it was like a child walking into a huge candy shop! You seriously had everyyyyything there!

hahaha, so skirt, heels, and all - i had to stand out there to take pics etc! :)

Just some for teasers!
AUDI R8 BABY!! not a fan of the color, but heck it's one sexy monster on the road. like seriously, i can testify to that!

We were once in the Audi showroom and i remembered thinking, altho yes, it looks cool.. it's not that fantasorgasmic to me.. *snob*

haha!

Was sooo wrong but one fine day when i was driving last year at a roundabout, I SAW A FREGGING BLACK AND RED R8 right there in front of me and i just smiled, like, just smiled like a lunatic to myself! hahaha!

zomg, it.is.that.awesome! =)

"Tour guide" mode on: And as you can see we have an orange lamb at the back, and ladies and gents, get them cameras out bcos there is a gentlemen in a black and white tux right there in the background - the Bentley Sport babehhh!!

A ferrari sighted too!

zomg zomg zomg! :)

coolness! :)

and i saw a twin of my baby too, white and all ;) the cutest one of the lot! hehehe! :D

And then, dinns at our fav Overseas Chinese Restaurant..

With our favvv Captain Ms Chris Lee whom my family has known for more than 20 years already! :)

And most of all, the enjoying of the awesome possum 38 years old Royal Salute on the rocks!!! OMG! :D im no alcoholic but it's defo one good whisky that we love and most of all,

i love the bottle so much, gorge gorge gorge!

Very cool, classy, luxe and mysterious!

KEEP THE BOTTLE in my room?

After the long awesome day spent with loved ones~*

Happy Awesome Mother's Day to the Queen of My Heart, uri Omma (우리엄마)!!!

But yes, I would like to do that. :)

445th: Tropicality

2011-04-13T13:48:00.003+08:00

Back to the tropics, Tropical Thunderstorm, its glorious rainfall in abundance and all~*

i stared out to the big glass pane window on my right, to the swaying trees and dancing leaves

i spotted this yellow thing waving along at me,

could it be a bird sheltering itself from the rain?

lol!

no it was not, it was an old yellowed leaf, still hanging on along with all the green young leaves.

funny how, when an animal die of natural causes, you never really see it anywhere ay?

amazing how nature takes care of itself

how it cues trees to blossom and sprout in spring

how it tells all to hibernate in the coldest of winters.

But looking at disasters pop up left right and everywhere, you just wonder how long more does earth have left.

forecasts say the next big thing will strike USA.

I saw the floods and tornados that occured recently on the TV, one can't help but wonder if their fate is really as predicted. :S

And then i looked harder again,

at the dancing trees and swaying branches,

but this time, beyond what we see with sight

And i wonder, how was it, long time ago~

during the age of dinosaurs!

like the land before time (love that cartoon)

was it all peaceful, green and lovely?

But i supposed everyone and everything has its time,
because eventually the dinos were wiped out too.

so it does seem, we are here to walk a path in a pre-planned cosmic.
your initial thoughts would be, that's quite helpless is it not?
to walk the walk that's been pre-planned and charted for you.

But no, i don't think so.

You still have a chance to make the best of it. To add your mark on it. To do the best you can. To love as much as you can; and i don't mean romantically only.

Do you have the courage to put out that first step of love to others? Instead of waiting for someone to show you kindness first before you reciprocate.

Are you willing to give a piece of your heart to others? Letting them hold it in their hands. And not control what they do with it? And just, love?

What's to come, and what's to become?

Who's to tell?

But, a wise Teacher once said, don't waste time thinking and pondering about things you can't make a difference to, instead, channel your energy into the present moment. into efforts of what you Can do.

And the beautiful paradox is because, what you're doing now, affects what happens in the future.

So instead of worrying about the future, of what's to come and what not, think about, and act upon what you can do now.

On a side note, I wrote to my prof recently, about my trip to the west coast, and the gorgeous heaven on earth sights captured in my mind, and he told me, he has the chance to do the same few years back too! Lovely to know that we can share such beautiful experiences with others.

If there is one thing I can dedicate to all now,

Is for everyone and everything to have the chance to have a little inside time,
To introspect,
To get in touch with our real natures,
To feel a little peace
To have a little love
and to cultivate the courage to love others. To show love.

And it's not easy, of course.
Especially when some are sadly conditioned to display negativity; to always try to take advantage of others at the very first instance, to display their aggressiveness at any chance,

But if we just try, just a little bit,
And keep encouraging ourselves to try a little bit more, in the face of adversity,

Wouldn't that be lovely? And slowly, that little bit of love you give to someone, gets passed on to another, and another, and another,
and there you go,
the chain effect at its most beautiful best!

~*

And what is it you would like to do,

Something that allows you a prestigious namesake

or

Something that allows you to breathe in your passions?

I Love Cars!

2011-04-13T12:59:00.002+08:00

So, We're gonna bring this Mustang/Shelby home! ;)

Yeahhh to them sexy babies in the garage ay!

2011-04-09T23:44:00.007+08:00

Currently blogging from my phone - Quickie love.

So random but I just saw that my blog is being read in many interesting locations around the world! With Aussie and Philippines being amongst the list. Very cool :) Okie I now realize my Aussie loves but Philippines is just pretty interesting !:)

Hehe.. hello and love to all of u, wherever you may be! And thanks for coming by !

Just wanted to share a lil glimpse of my past three weeks of intense traveling with yall. Tired yes, but love it - totally !

So our journey started after my graduation (big thanks to all the lovely ppl for the calls, texts, blog posts and the rushing of gifts , flowers and sweet messages across multiple time zones, mountains and oceans. I feel your love !!! :) )

After which we headed to the west coast, where I immensely enjoyed the scenery enroute to San Francisco from la.6 hr road trip, yesserie, but I was blown away. It was just like a picturesque scene out of my fantasy, dig this ~ endless meadows, gorgeous green hilly terrains, rainbows, the majestic coast lines of the great pacific ocean, a mountain of seals , giant waves, old castles, more rolling greens, whatever else have you.

I can't even tell u how much that stimulate my senses through and through. The richness of history, old school glam and most importantly, a glimpse into such gorgeous sights of our world u don't really get to see was a sense - awakening experience. This is the real hidden valley in front of me. And I finally understood the essence of such ranch names as engraved on their signs in front id the long winding pathways which leads you to a lost world of beauty and fantasy inside. No, names like golden meadows farm or wtv else are not just corny names that try to leverage their 'rustic farm-like' appeal to induce you into that goodness, wholesome state of line as you purchase that slab of butter, or pack of kettle cook chips. This; is the real deal. If only you could catch a glimpse of the eye-orgasm I had throughout my many days on the road, air and water, you'd know how exactly I was blown away and moved through and through by such gorgeous one of a kind piece of mother nature's creation. The way the golden beam of the afternoon sun hits the peak and troughs of the green valleys and peaks is enough to leave you in awe.

And you know the best part, that It's meant to be enjoyed, taken in and embraced live with your senses. Technologies such as camera, videos etc really don't do it the 100% glorious justice such immense beauty commands. It's really something on another parallel that requires your full presence in the present moment to comprehend and capture in your memory to fully enjoy . Your full human - ly presence in the present moment.

If you know me well enough, you'd know that It's truly something when I say, the beauty of this facade of the American land has finally won praises from me. Yes, for once I can truly tell you, I found this part of the Us beautiful. And the Colorado river at the grand canyons, in perfect juxtaposition of one another was such a grand sight to take in as well.

And oh, I went on my first helicopter ride !! Front seat yo !! :)))

After a long journey of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Vegas, I flew to beloved hk land !!! :)

Was awesome to be back so soon to reunite with them loves. Though it was a rather short visit, crammed in whoever I can.. apologies to those I couldn't catch this time around, but know that I have you in my thoughts.

Will try share pics if possible... Am currently a lil sick actually :(

But hope everything will be well soon enough and I can catch up with dear friends who are still here.. do sad that so many have left d!!! :(

But we all got to do what we gotta do. And it is my hope that our beautiful,enormously potential filled country will be able to retain its talented young blood for generations to come. Travel is travel, studying abroad too, all filled with merits of broadening the mind and soul. It sharpens you, adds to you. But It's.not meant to take away your roots and origins away from you. It's meant to add to.the full-bodied flavor of the very being that is you. At the end of the day, we have to know where home is, and to appreciate its abundant resources and shelter it gives us away from a huge lot of calamities in the world. And most importantly, bring back all the knowledge, skills and experiences harvested from our ventures overseas to contribute to the advancement of our nation ! So remember that kids, don't let two ir three years abroad collude your mind away from the place you were born in :) seriously, 4 years in Aussie doesn't make you an Australian, a summer in paris doesn't make you French, a year in UK doesn't make you British ... Or any less Malaysian in any way ok ?

Many of yall know this, that even after the numerous travels I have had, and the time spent living abroad in diff locations with diff friends from around the world, and diff partners, I am and always be Malaysian through and through. and that KL will always be my fav city. It's prolly my personal choice that I don't pick up and adopt the accents of other places as my own, rather, It's more like a switch I turn on and off depending on content to adapt to various situations ;) *cmonnnn man, if a few years somewhere else can change the way you speak in totality contrasting from the way you have always did for the most part of your life, we can all only see how easily mutable your true personal essence is ay.*

most of all, I think the best part is spreading the msian love to others, bring the 'la's and the Makan's to them LA! ;) nothing more cooler than language exchange for real when you see ur American, Taiwanese, German, Korean and Hong Kong friends use favorites like 'la' and 'Makan' as though its their second nature. It's seriously the most adorable.

So I challenge you, friends and family around the globe, bring the 'La' to the world yo !! Hehehe..

Enjoy your time abroad, let it sharpen you, let it evolve you, let it open up many doors to you, but never ever let it be the reason you abandon your roots and where you come from.

Good nights and good rest yall !

Warm thoughts and well wishes,
Mun~*

A conclusion of an Era, A Beginning of Another~*

Said my goodbyes, enjoyed my sunshine and breeze~

Had my ice-cream, Had my hugs, handshakes & love,

Had my lunches, dinner, stairway meetings,

And I've learned that it is the imperfections that makes things so perfect at the end of the day.

Flower buds are sprouting out on the tip of the trees. Funny how life just unfolds at the right time, it's beautiful actually.

I won't be here to experience spring this time around, but i feel the excitement in the air already. but this time around, it's a more nostalgic kind of excitement.

I still stopped to admire the baby flower buds sprouting outside of the old tree in our courtyard. I've seen it through the coldest winters, thickest snow fall, chilliest ice crystals, rain, sunshine, and beautiful spring days.

And you'd feel sorry for it sometimes, that it has to stay strong standing outside in the crazy Ohio snowy winters. It's seen it all! And, the best part is, babies are coming out now! :) Can you believe it? It's lovely~*

And why is that every time i feel a sense of nostalgia, the movie "Something's Gotta Give" is always playing! hehe!

haha, and the ladybugs came to say goodbye too! They are walking around our window sheds, bathing in the sunshiny day we have today~!* :)

I picked up my honors cords and drop b to say goodbye to my advisor too! :) And now my graduation pack is all set! ;)

I've said goodbye to all my loves, a few more scheduled for tmrw~

And my family's on their way! Love!

They are transiting in Narita, Japan right now. Pray hard that all goes well~!*

Anyways,

GRADUATION COMING UP SOON!!!

and for now, packing! *hearts*

hahah!

Leave you with this, and a stalk of flowers i wanna keep with me, from the four bunch that adorn the lovely white & purple hand decorated basket! :)

Hope, Memories & Love~*

Excitement and Radiance of the Future!

I hope peace, joy, love, good health, gratitude and contentment will aways be with you, wherever you go~*

Love always,

Mun~*

Daniel!

Many a time in life, the wrong things are focused upon, and what matters most is lost for a glimpse or two. The keyword here is glimpse.

But tonight, the right angle has been realized~*
