I'm moving...

Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm not moving house or anything.

I'm just moving my blog elsewhere. =D

If you are still interested in reading my posts, you can ask for the link to my new blog from me. =P

For now, I'm saying 'Goodbye' to this blog. I won't delete it but no new posts would be put up after this...

Some things to say..?

I think my head is quite a screwed up place...? 'Coz I can be trapped in a dilemma and not be able to work it out. I tell myself one thing, but another voice in me seems to disagree... I think everyone experienced it before.

Making a decision can be awfully difficult and sometimes, we end up choosing not to make one; we just wait for the moment and chance to slip away. And only when it has passed us, you stop to wonder if it was right doing just nothing.

People tend to say, "Sometimes it's best to leave some things unsaid." But I guess if some things were to be left unsaid, how do you what should or should not be said? Then, in the end, would everything be left unsaid instead? If things were all left unsaid, we will never know the future that we have missed.

For the better or worse, at least it would have been our own choice, and there would not be any "what if's" and "why didn't I's". At least, there won't be any regrets.

Collapsed bridge in Perak killed three

(I'm doing this post because I was unable to comment on Ian's post due to technical problems. Please click on title to be linked to referred post.)

I think we all have heard about the good bridge in Perak which collapsed. It's official that three children were killed.

When I saw the news on tv, I could only shake my head. It's incredible. I've always that prejudice perception that Malaysian engineers and architects' ability are questionable. This incident evidenced it. It was just built two weeks or so before its collapse.

What happened? The government has a lot of answering to do and the pressure is on. Three count of deaths are never too small a number to be taken into account. If the government does not provide a satisfactory answer now, I'm sure they will eventually have to answer when the next election arrives.

Just to add salt to the wound, the incident was reported on BBC. Now, the whole world can be sure how 'awesome' Malaysian engineers and architects are. While some of you may think I generalise too much and that this is an isolated case, don't feel too offended. If you're Malaysian and a good engineer or architect, I feel bad for you. As the Malay proverb goes, "Nila setitik rosak susu sebelanga."

Last day of class in college @ Dedication to my housemates

Hmm... I haven't blogged for a long time. And all of a sudden when I decide to blog, it's the last day of college before the finals.

It's pretty cool that we actually get to skip the whole day of college. Spent the day taking tons and tons of pictures with college mates. Strange, I was quite sure I didn't take as much pictures during secondary school. And I think I never write quite as much before for yearbooks.

Throughout this one and a half year of experience in SAM, I've met people who have definitely left more-than-footprints-in-the-sand impact in my life. A large portion of them would be my beloved housemates.


To Cindy (big sister)!

You make me... speechless sometimes. xD The way you flare your anger at things and people that piss you off, the way ask us if you look pretty in your new clothes, the way you can randomly just bring back to Casa two lil' hamsters as our pets, the way you can quarrel with Zehe ko-ko but still get back together next day... All of these makes you, you. =)

One thing I have learned from you is the ability to forgive quickly after being angry. You know I have the tendency to hold grudges. For a person like me with a quick-temper, I think it's quite a lesson I gained from you. And now, I believe, I am better with handling anger.

I will miss the times we have breakfast together before college, watching shows while eating dinner, cursing together as we wait for the lifts... LOL. Well, thank you for taking care of me, and acting like my big sister in College. I pray for all the happiness you can get in life, because you deserve it. =)

To Yih Ling, my counsellor of Faith in college life,

At times of fear and worries, you calmed me like how Jesus did to the stormy sea. You always remind me to look back to the Lord for strength when I am weak and shelter when I am weary.

When I was sick and feeling unwell, you became my mother and made sure I could recover quickly and relieved my illness as much as you can. You never ask for any returns or rewards for your efforts. You showed much sincere kindness and goodness to those you care for.

You said I am a courageous person, to face what most people could not, have faith when people failed but I want to say that you helped me a lot. There're abundant values I learned and must learn from you. Your greatest being wisdom beyond our age, diligence, obedience to your parents and steadfastness towards your own principles and values.

Thank you for everything you have done for me. May the Lord always be with you.

To Qiu Gee, my Penangnite roommate!

I must apologise that i ruined your chance of having the master bedroom to yourself but I hope you have accepted me well as I have to you. I am also sorry for being the messy one, always leaving my things untidy all over the table, not making my bed most of the time, cramming the room with my knick-knacks...

But know that I appreciate all the times we spent together. Sitting together in the bus, talking to you one-to-one in the bedroom, in the common room... While you may get moody at times, it's ok. I still love when you tell me lame jokes that your friends send you through sms and talk to me about some random stuff that happened in college. In fact, I like the way you laugh; it's infectious.

I admire how you are athletic. When you are determined to train, you ARE determined. Wish I were a little more disciplined like you when it comes to sports. Hehe Through you I understood that it is possible to let go some sadness in life, when things don't go the way we hoped it would have, that we can come through and look at that past as another memory in life. It is a good thing for me to learn because then, I would not have kept so many regrets and dissatisfaction for the past.

You have awesome siblings who can help you and guide you. From the stories you told me about them, I am envious. At the same time, I am happy for you. Lead a colourful and brilliant life, Qiu Gee. You will have a great life ahead because of who you are.

To Sher, my Lil' Mummy!

You are the most sentimental person I have ever met! You cry so easily that sometimes I go frantic. I thought it was impossible to find another who can tear up faster than me, especially when watching dramas. You normally beat me to it. LOL However, in reality, I do not think I'd cry as easily as you because you take heart of every little yet meaningful gesture of those who are close to you while I may not.

We are always 'observing', 'watching', 'interpreting' people and events. Because of you, I think I am starting to believe in telepathy. Is it great minds think alike or is it bonded souls think alike, or perhaps both? *wink*

We share quite a common past and for that, we understand each other even better. I hope, though, that the past will remain the past. I wish that nothing of the like would ever happen to you again. But because of our past, we learned the importance of true friendship. I daresay you are as fiercely loyal a friend as I am. Then again, because of our past, we become wary people too. As I try to tell myself I must learn to trust, I guess it's the same thing I want to tell you too.

You are such a prim-and-proper person who can make me feel bad about my untidy self without even trying. LOL I love teasing you about having OCD although we all know that is not the case. I admire how you wove your wonderful closing speech during moot court session. Oh, and thanks for introducing me to your big brother, De Ren (Err... correct name and spelling?! O.O) who conveniently updates me about Naruto and Bleach when I'm too lazy to read the manga myself. Hehe

In any case, I want you to know that you have a special place in my heart, my dearest lil' mummy. I see you every day in class and every weekdays in Casa. How could I not be attached to you (and our other housemates)? Please take good care of yourself wherever you go. Your lil' daughter will miss you as many times as the numbers of stars in heaven.

To Clarine, my wish-you-were-my-little-sister!

Clarine, Clarine, what can I say about you? Your brilliance amazes me, your simplicity for clothes astounds me, your innocence and curiosity amuses me... Your 'maximum point' is your trademark (along with Shawn who can also do inflection point but I don't know if you can... xD). Your effort to learn Chinese, acknowleged. You are so cute when you try to speak some Mandarin. ^o^ I will never forget your 'world peace' attempt.

You are never quick to judge, which makes me wonder: Would that make you a good judge or a bad judge? LOL (couldn't resist a lil' legal joke there.) You do not let your emotions cloud your thoughts and always manage to treat everyone without prejudice. You are humble about your achievements and never boasts. You are such an angel!

Remember how I always complain that your comments on stuff in general are predictable? Yeah, well, it's really fine (although it frustrates me sometimes xD). It's part of what I will remember you for (but I hope you will improve on that =.=. Can you imagine you asking me, "So what do you think about this dish?" and I answer, "Err... Ok laaa."? That's like, pretty lame, ok?) Hmm... come to think about it, this whole paragraph is full of contradictions. But never mind, you are not Dr. Santha. You get what I mean. Hehe

I will also remember how you like tapping people on the shoulder and then pretending you didn't just to prove how long your arm is. Swt.... LOL Not to mention, our moot court session when you acted as an 'emo' witness who I really didn't think was a very good emo-ist. XDDDDD And I enjoy trying to 'match-make' you just for the fun of it! LOL

If you weren't part of my life, I will definitely miss out on a lot of stuff because most of the time when I'm with you, I'm laughing (doesn't matter if it's laughing at you laa... Hehe). It was also a great pleasure to know your family. You're a kind and gentle soul, Clarine. Remain that way. It's your greatest treasure.

~*~

As a closure, I would like to tell you, my housemates, how much I love you and will not forget any of you. If I have done anything to make you angry or hurt you, know that I didn't mean it and please forgive me. We are now far more than just friends. We are now a family. You make me feel that attachments are alright. As long as we sincerely care for one another, no matter how far apart we are, we can know that somewhere, out there, someone's missing us and praying for our happiness...

Cheers, my dearest friends, to our unbreakable bonds of friendship.

Thought of the day

Sometimes, you just have to be nice enough to be the first to say, "Hey, so, whatcha' doing?" and the ice will just melt accordingly.

Being stubborn and hard-headed ain't going to pay, you know.

P/S: Yes! Two more years to go till the day I get my voting power!

Thought of the day

Sometimes it is those who you least expect to be the ones who cheer you up when you are feeling thoroughly down.

To those quiet, unbeknownst angels in disguise, thanks for the helping hands. =)

To those who have always been by my side, I can never thank you enough. You guys make life bearable with a touch of laughter. =D

Thought of the day

I tell myself, "Girl, you know how terrible it was. Don't ever let your children go through the same pain and torture."

Yes, to my future children, I promise you if you don't like Math, you can ignore it. >.<

I think I died in Math's direct investigation today. I'm so sorry for my team mates. X_X
