Jogging with Gracie

09/04/2011 - I went jogging with my dear sister in the evening. It was really great because i got to spend ample time with her, talking to her, and listening to her telling stories (stories mom and dad don't even know :P). :) I wish i could watch her grow. I don't want to just be a passer-by in her life, but rather, i want to be someone who changes her life. :)

Childhood.

How fast time has passed. Childhood is now forever in the history of life, we can never go back. But look at what we have now, look ahead! Future is awaiting us. :)

Love the sunset at the playground, it brought back some sweet and funny memories.

Yep, it was so great! Guess what? We completed 10 rounds! Hooray!!! ^^

* I wrote this entry and uploaded these photos while doing assignment. T-T Well, I am really tired and sleepy. I don't know why, it just feels as though i never get enough sleep. Zzz

I'm missing you already!

Ginko Leaves

I fly elegantly in the air like the Ginko leaves.

Dive into the pool.

Just feel like... diving into the pool.
Oh, they said we could cry freely in the pool. :)

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Happy
50th

I'm truly a blessed child!
Thank God for you.
Wish you happy always. :)

Love, Agnes.

Birthday Dinner at Sanga

I chose to be different.

Happy birthday!

I went out with a bunch of friends just now to Sanga (a japanese restaurant). It's been a while since our last outing. We had a lot to catch up with each other's life. And, i realized i've changed. I'm not sure how i have changed, i'm not too sure if it's a good thing or the opposite.

At times.

I feel like playing a song with my violin to the sea.

:)

It's been quite some time, hasn't it? :)
And we've changed a lot, haven't we?
And things are changing day by day, aren't they?

Hey guys, finally got the mood to blog. (No, actually i don't have the time to blog, but despite this, i feel like i need to blog. It's a way to keep things going on, it's simply a way to... record down what i've gone through.) So...September has ended.

I went for a vacation (yes, i think i can call it a vacation.) during the September two weeks break. I visited KL, Singapore and Pulau Langkawi. GOSH I LOVE THE BEACHES!!! :D From all these travelings from places to places...seeing new things, experiencing new things, I have really learnt a lot of things. And, i'm determined I gotta find the answer someday. 18 is not too late.

Yes, 18 is not too late!

If that someone never comes to you

It's normal everyone will have this feeling. (Unless if you are asexual then i have nothing to say.) So, let's be open-minded! Let's talk something about this. Well, just from what i have thought about lately. If that someone doesn't come to you, just... let go. It'd be a lot better than playing some kinda guessing game and in the end you guessed it all wrong. :)

To save yourself from being fooled by yourself, to save that someone from feeling guilty because he/she can't give you what you want - - just be cool and let go. :) See, by letting go, you become a super hero!

Sooner or later, it will fade away. It's just a feeling after all. It won't stay too long. :)

The friend in my heart, thank you. :)

I worked in Four Points Hotel!

Beeep beeeeeeeeep...

UPDATES!

19th MELTA INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE was loads of funnnnn! :) Though the first day i was really a multi-tasking chairperson, it was indeed wonderful to help out and something so grand like this! First day, i was the chairperson, then the photographer, and also the person who distributed the hand outs, andddd finally ran back to the microphone to carry out the QNA session. Super girl, indeed! :) I had the chance to meet people from all around the world and that was the coolest thing! :D Apart from that, there's one Iran lady, a very beautiful and soft-spoken lady came up to me, "I've got two questions to ask you." I was kinda shocked. Shouldn't the questions be directed to the presenter? I thought. Then she said, "First is about your kebaya. It's really beautiful and it suits you well. May i know where can i get a set of this?" HAHAHAHAHA... It's an apple green silk kebaya mom gave to me. :) I could see that she was really interested in getting one, so i promised her i would give her the answer and map tomorrow. However, the second day i was sooo busy running here and there again. When i wanted to look for her during the closing ceremony, i couldn't! I scanned around and around, but there was no sign of her. I approached the committees but they just replied, "Forget it, girl. She must have gone back already. It's just a map anyway. There won't be much problem." But i insisted! Hey, a promise is a promise. I never liked to break any promise. (Well, sometimes, i have to. I know. But if possible, wouldn't it be better to prevent a promise from broken?) At that time i was running around with the map searching for that Iran lady from the leaving crowd. Dad was there to pick me up but i told him i gotta find her. Dad didn't stop me. Instead, he went around with me. Come to think of it, my daddy is indeed a lot better than the adults who asked me to give up. So i went down to the reception counter. This is the last place i could find her. So i went there to check if the lady stays in Four Points Hotel. While waiting for my turn in the queue, dad asked me, "Want a sweet?" Then he gave me a sweet. :') After checking with the counter, they said the lady didn't stay in the hotel. I left out a sigh, told myself, i've tried, there's nothing much i could do now. Just when i turned back and wanted to leave the hotel, the Iran lady entered from the hotel lobby door. I was so overjoyed and rushed to her to pass her the map. She felt so grateful too. You know, it was really a wonderful thing that i kept my promise! :)

And not forgetting, my daddy! :) He was there, with me. :) That's why Mdm Angie said my dad is a sweet dad. Well, HE IS! :D

But then when i came home, aiyah, my little gracie spoiled my lappy. T.T So that's why, "A very good but not a very good day." And that's also why the update of MELTA International Conference was delayed. Cuz i didn't have the familiar set ups to use. =/

Okay, then another interesting thing was, i met an author! I bought his book and got his autograph! FIRST TIME in my life! :) In the workshop he conducted, he asked us to write something associated with feelings, emotions, or anything from a single object. My favourite writing type. haha. I chose 'Photo frame'. I wasn't given a lot of time so i just quickly wrote one. He read it and nodded his head, then looked at me with a smile. You know what, perhaps one day i should write. :) hahaha.

Besides that, another one is about the lucky draw prize. I was writing my name to be put into a big bowl for lucky draw with Fiona and one of my lecturer, Miss Yus. Then before i put in, i said, "I've sprinkled some magic lucky dust." Miss Yus said it's no use. But then in the end, i got one lucky draw prize!!! Hahaha. SO UNBELIEVABLE! I never won anything especially when it comes to lucky draw, guess i wasn't the lucky person. But well, my magic dust worked! After the whole thing ended, i walked out to meet the lecturers. I saw Miss Yus and quickly got up to her and said, "My magic lucky dust worked!" Miss Yus said, "Huh! I don't want to be friend with you." Then i sighed, "But then...i wasn't given a dictionary." Her facial expression changed, "A ha ha ha ha ha..." "Miss Yus!!" haha. It was the wonderful memories too, to draw the lecturers and the students closer, and to foster the relationship. :) Mdm Angie, Mrs Lim, Miss Fraulein and all the other lecturers were so proud of us. :)

Last but not least... THE BUFFET LUNCH at The Eatery Cafe was awesomely satisfying. Ate to our heart content. :) Not bad la, we worked for free, ate for free too! :) Check out my Facebook album to see more photos of the conference, and of course the FOOOOD. :)

The food spelled HEAVEN.

Looked like HEAVEN.

and tasted like HEAVEN.

erm, latest picture of me and my friend. :) My hair is long again. :D

a very lovely effect of flares. :)

There are more photos but the Internet connection was a bit crappy so i gave up uploading.

Life's talk.

I've learnt and realized a lot of things lately. At times, i love it when i think a lot. At times, i just hate it. This time, i got the both feelings.

Struggled. Climbed up. Struggled. Fell. Struggled. Fell. Struggled. Fell. Struggled. Struggled. Pulled through. :)

At times, life tells you this: It's only when you have climbed high enough, you get the most beautiful view.

I'm not saying that this picture is the most beautiful. This thought is actually something i feel lately: When you are tired of your life now, you must not give up. You might wonder where is the wonderful part of life that God wants you to see. Just go a little further, walked a few steps more, climbed a bit more until you reach that point where you could see the beautiful view. It's only when you have climbed high enough, you get the most beautiful view. If you haven't, maybe you haven't reached that point yet. :)

Yellow.
under a yellow light
in a bottle of tiny white stones.

you know you can't live long
yet you stands up straight to tell the world

even if my life ends tomorrow
even my shadows tell me to bend down
i am still going to stand up straight
and embrace each day as it comes.

* * *

i wish...

i could
put on the fairy's wings,
wave my magic wand,
and sprinkle some magic dust on myself when things go bad.

* * *

When life gives you a cup of vanilla milk, add a sweet vanilla smiley to it. -agneslzh-

When you find something happy in your life, don't just be happy. Add a smiley to it and really enjoy it to the fullest. Some of the the happiness don't stay long, you know.

* * *

in times of solitude,
you realize
you actually have everything.

告诉自己别傻了

Back from Sibu.

3rd June 2010 . Thursday

Hi people! I'm finally back! :) I can't believe, it's just a five days trip yet i was missing home so much dy. :D Actually i'm quite lazy to type something here. However, since i am uploading my photos on Sibu trip to facebook and it takes time, i might as well update something here while waiting. :) But the Internet connection is quite bad tonight. =/

All in all, Sibu trip was great. :) But we didn't manage to go to many places in this trip. The only bad things were:

1. The room we stayed was a wooden one, so it's really hot especially in the afternoon, you will be baked inside there. Well, i almost got myself baked a few times. lol.

2. Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria. Hyper hives. lol. I name the latter one, in layman's term for you all. :) Bro suddenly got that on the 2nd day. It was really scary, cuz there were large regions of red blotches, swollen patches all over his body! It was so scary!!! If his condition worsened, he would have difficulty in breathing. He couldn't sleep that night due to extreme itchiness and irritation. We were looking for antihistamine for him, but we couldn't find any. So in the end, i suggested that we use cough tablet, which was drowsy too, to act as antihistamine. First, was to make him sleep so that he wouldn't need to suffer more from an aggravation of itchiness. Second, of course, to act as antihistamine, to ease the itchiness. What i did was right! Yay! I am a doctor. Oops, i mean, was. :( Hmmm. I just simply love those sophisticated medical terms.

3. I DROVE!!! On the highway!!! First time driving daddy's car! First time used gear 5! hahah. It was so scary, man! I only drove part of the journey, hehe.

To Sibu!

Daddy said those who love sunset are usually pessimists. I find it somehow quite true eh. :)

Now, i shall make you all drool with theseeee.... :D

Kompia with minced pork.

GIANT prawn.

纸包鸡 xD truly 纸包鸡!

Played with baby cousin!!!

adorable!!!

That's all. Not gonna post much. Oh yea, i've realized lots of things in these five days. Hmm. Took sometime when i was free to reflect back on life. Well, starting from tomorrow i'm gonna work. I need to tidy my study table! Update my LDV file, make a book on plots for Much Ado About Nothing. Oh goodness. This isn't really a holiday what! :(

Backache. Gotta go sleep dy. :)

I said a "goodbye" to you!

CNY eve

I'm so full~ :) Had a hearty reunion dinner at my place. It's so good to have everyone gather together again. This year i am going to treat this new year special! Just now, i took note of the whole reunion dinner. You know, the greatest thing about reunion dinner is REUNION, of course! haha! Everyone sat down together and ate. Talked, laughed... Just now the TV was on, we were all eating, some sitting on sofa, some eating in the dining room. We talked so loudly to fight the TV. It's cute and funny. If we wanted to talk, why didn't we turn off the TV? haha. Funny. Then unk was playing with his Canon dslr. *envy!* After getting bored with it, he took out his LUMIX wide screen camera, placed it in a corner of the house, recorded us! Candid shots! x) Okay, it's already very noisy now, i wonder how would i survive later. sigh. I want peace!

Was helping mom in the kitchen and doing some final cleaning. Mom was cooking while i was wiping the washed dishes. I told mom, "I feel like one of the worker at the kopitiam, sitting on the floor, with a big pail of wet plates." Mom joked, "Oh i don't think you would be working there. I believe they won't want such a slow worker like you. Hurry up and dry the plates." ...speechless...

Reunion dinner. 13 main dishes altogether.

The week before CNY, was really really. BAD. lived like a bee! :(

buzz! I really hate how busyness took over my life. :( Busy with school stuff. Gah. FIVE assignments due after CNY, ES full paper test again right after CNY, banner due...SOON. (actually is today but i think i can't finish it.) So sickening! The banner that i did, i have to REDO! And do you know how much time it took me to come out with that banner? How could they... sobs. It's not easy to do the banner! And so now, frankly speaking, I HATE DOING THE DESIGN OVER AGAIN! (Which is actually the major reason why i keep procrastinating - i just can't bring myself to do it!) Why can't they just hire someone professional to do it? What's the problem with the measurement? They didn't tell me it was not appropriate when we handed in our proposal. Sheesh! Yes, i study there. But it doesn't mean i have given my soul, my time, my energy and everything to it ok? sigh! My CNY, so-called one week holiday.

Shopping.

Gracie and i [tHe Spring, Kuching. 12/02/2010]

Preparation for CNY

Look! I removed my piano cover. :) Replaced it with a simple pink cover, and i placed the flower on top of it. Looks very neat huh. :)

Gracie, playing piano.

14th February 2010

CHINESE NEW YEAR! Happy ROAR year!

ROAR!

and of course... VALENTINE'S DAY!

LOVE.

And as we all know. Tomorrow is not only Chinese New Year, but it's also Valentine's Day. I wonder... Hmm. (Allow me to be emo for a while. Actually, not being emo la, just telling something what i've seen and felt.)

Few nights ago, i was on the phone with a friend. We talked about this topic. Heh. Just suddenly felt like typing it out here. (erm, maybe not much of an intense feeling. I wrote something on this every valentine's day.) Alright. I don't know if this is stupid or not, but personally, i strongly feel that it's stupid. How do you know if it's worth it? A sign! Yeah, a sign. But sometimes, people are just too afraid to step forward; too reluctant to show their feelings from obscurity. Or. People are just not confident enough to make the move?

Perhaps.

So all you do is keep waiting by the phone, hoping each time the phone beeps, it's the text message from that someone; hoping each time the phone rings, it's the call from that someone. You know, sometimes, a little lie is needed to prevent ourselves from getting hurt. Maybe that's why, that person is telling you the lie. He/she doesn't want to get hurt. Hurt from? You. You just gotta feel it with your heart to find the truth behind the lies. Not all lies are meant intentionally. Sometimes, it's said just to shield ourselves.

我一直都在这里。
虽然你从不知道，但我不会走远。
只要你仔细倾听，我在为你弹琴；
只要你抬起头来，你就会看到我。

Wuiseh! I think i should change my profession to a writer, poet or something la. xD haha. Actually heard something which sounds like that recently. Can't remember everything, so i just typed out whatever i think it's about, and added in mine. Who knows i can write songs too one day? (actually i have written, a few.)

My collections.

I love this! I love the angle of this pic. :)

Thinking of love~

The purple candle is really lovely, isn't it? :)

Alright. The fireworks and the firecrackers are making loud sounds now. Gotta iron clothes then sleep. I'm tired. tired tired tired. Banner still hasn't started. sigh. I'll be tomorrow Sunday church service pianist. Actually was so busy with stuff, really a lot to do. Sigh. Next time, i will learn to say 'no' though i really have the heart to help. I really can't manage la. Rushing here and there. Running out of time. :( I . . . need a break.

Happy Chinese New Year to you all!

This year i won't be sending CNY text messages, so i'm wishing you here. Have a prosperous tiger year. May God bless you all. Live the spirit of a tiger! ROAR!

Plucking daisy's petals.
