The day when I turn old

On the 23rd of January. And everybody was actually happy for me. Haha. So celebration started one day earlier with boyfriend coming all the way down to Seremban from Ipoh. Such a surprise that I cried because I was too happy. :P

After he arrived, we went for a dinner and he bought me a cake from Secret Recipe. Yeah! My favorite. :P After dinner, we went for a movie. Everything seems to be so simple yet romantic. I am very very contented to have such loving boyfriend. Ethan Ow, thank you for everything you did for me.

So I celebrated the first half an hour in the cinema. And Joyce called me all the way from Singapore. I was surprised and that was my first time receiving an "overseas" call from a friend on a birthday. Really appreciate that. Wish that you'll have a good time in Vietnam and learn to eat some veges.:P

When we returned back to my house, it's shower and bedtime. Before going to bed, I found that little Care Bear got strangled by something on it's neck. Hehe. My present from boyfriend. I really love it. I am still trying to find out how much he had spent on this watch.

On the actual day, boyfriend have to leave for Singapore for some work. We had lunch with my family in Kensington. The food was surprisingly nice. Boyfriend wanted to treat all of us but was stopped by mom. Haha plan fail once again :P After lunch, it was mom's turn to give me a present. Change my image, from a straight, silky (:P) hair to curly, and still silky hair. Hmph... I still prefer my straight hair. But still thank you mom for this pricey present.

I would really like to thank everyone who wishes me, phone, facebook, heart, or in any other way. I am such a lucky girl to be blessed with so much love. My only wish this year is for my family to be healthy and boyfriend and I to have a safe trip to UK and Europe.

Farewell Part 2: Girls affair

14th January. After graduating from high school, we seldom met each other. I think the last time we meet each other was in 2008? Anyway it has really been a long time since we met. Cai Xuan is my friend since I can ever remember. Our mom's are colleagues. So despite being in different primary school, we used to get to meet each other and play. We went to the same secondary school and from then on she went on to pursue her accounting degree and me, well ended up in Singapore. For the sake of her future, she decided to quit her job in Malaysia and go to Singapore. So we met in Singapore, City Hall to be exact and had a simple lunch. Really had fun catching up with you Cai Xuan. I hope, if you get to read this, that you'll settle down real soon and complete your ACCA with flying colors.

22nd January. Today I met with another two important people in my life. Hui Qian.

She's my best friend from secondary school. She was the one who was there for me when I had troubles and difficulties, sharing my tears, my laughters and my happiness. I hope I did the same for her too. So, we met in Mid Valley for lunch and had Korean food. The food was so-so but having her as company was great.

After that, we went shopping. Such fun time. I remembered we used to go shopping and buy the same shirt. Hahahaha...Anyway she's sick now, I hope she will recover faster. Thank you for your lovely present. And friends forever.

Friends forever

In the night, Xin Yu came over to meet us. I know Xin Yu when we were in A-Levels. I guess I was her first friend. She's one year younger than me so she's more like a little sister to me. Haha but in many ways, she's more mature than me. Sometimes, she's the one who offered me advices regarding life's matter. Such a shame of me. Well she had just finished her exam that day and rushed down to meet me in Mid Valley. We went for dinner in this cute shop called Reminisce. The interior of this shop is pretty interesting, decorated with things that we used to know from our childhood. Matches its shop's name Reminisce. The food is value for money. The taste is that familiar taste you will get when your mom cook. So, if you are studying far, far away from home, you could drop by this place in Mid Valley for a reminiscence of mom's cooking.

For Hui Qian and Xin Yu, good luck in your final semester. I wish both of you will pass with flying colors and got hired even before you graduated. I will miss you guys when I'm in UK. Having crazy friends like both of you really made my life my colorful. Haha. No offence.

Not perfect

Sometimes, I think that I am not as good as I thought I am. Or maybe, I am just greedy. Yes, I admit that I am greedy. I always hope/dream that I'll excel in whatever I do, studies, music, dance, life, relationship...blah blah blah. But I am never the top-achiever. I am not really perfect. I understand very slowly. I forget things easily. I lost focus easily. Sometimes, all these really make myself and everyone around me frustrated. Take dance for example, I am always doing the same mistakes again and again. I want to change but somehow, my mind don't wanna do so. I cannot understand my own mind and body at times, it's like both of them are not linked together and they wanna act according to their own way. *Sigh* Frustrated.

What do you have to say to this success-greed but non-perfect person?

2011

2011. New year new hope. However, I chose to not set any resolutions because I do not want to feel guilty later for not being able to achieve them. But there are certain things that I will continue to hold on to, such as
1) Always, in my own capacity, make people beside me feel awesome and happy
2) Always, in my own capacity, try to help my family out. (Arghh I think this wouldn't be the case this year due to my UK exchange which I need to loan large chunk of money from my parents)
3) Always take good care of myself so that my family would not need to worry about me
4) Always be the best girlfriend boyfriend will ever had (Hahahaha...)

Anyway, this brand new year started off with SICKNESS! Damn! What a way to celebrate the new year. Down with flu! Just hope I will recover soon so that I could go meet my friends and enjoy all the delicious delicacies before flying off to UK.

Have been spending loads of time with my family for the past week. Very happy and contented to just to be able to chat with them. And I think the happiest thing of all is to have mom's cooking nearly everyday. When they say mom knows best, it is not wrong at all. My mom just know what I like to eat and how I like it. Of course, I do helped out and in some ways pick up a few dishes which hopefully can be applied when I go over to UK.

2011. Getting a year older. 2011 will definitely be a good one because of exchange! So looking forward to fly off next month. I wish everyone will achieve more happiness, more success, more prosper in 2011.
