Another day with Da Vinci Code.. >_< Eating a few 'pao' s while reading the novel was enjoyable.=) so many months I hadn't been eating 'pao' s! :)

The simple enjoyable moment brought by a magical  'pao' :D

18.06.2012

Had been reading on Da Vinci Code the entire day, besides surfing net, playing computer game : The Sims 2.

Dinner :) it was nice! don't judge by its appearance.

Afternoon: Family shopping at Aeon Station 18. Mum bought 3 boxers for dad. =)

Cheryl's dog :)

dad, looking so happy :D

*I personally like this pic! well snapped.:) *

Morning: Morning walk with dad.=) (excuse me, I feel like typing this in Chinese)

 『人面不知何处去，桃花依旧笑春风。』

回到这个地方，既熟悉又陌生。熟悉的景色、熟悉的道路，熟悉的房屋。站在那边，以往的记忆一幅幅浮现眼帘。曾经，那是个充满欢笑的地方，充满3个小女生卖力运动的脚步，充满2个同伴背影的地方。是时间，还是我自己，成为了我们各自疏远的因素？后者吧。我没努力保持这段友情，没主动联络，没保持联系，我想... 下一次，我会主动拿起电话筒，问声:" 得空出来运动吗? :)"

看着Cheryl 家的狗，无精打采地趴在地上，心想：是想念小主人吗？以前的它见Cheryl 时总会摇摇它那可爱的尾巴。它的主人，也很想它吧？想念它，想念她的家，想念她的家人，想念怡保。:) 它的主人，正努力地搞好课业，为自己的未来打拼呢。

Night: Pancake after dinner :)

Actually these are fried by me... but it didn't taste good.

Mum's comment: you should have fried them much longer. It doesn't taste good.

D: okay, I'll try again next time.

Morning: Sketched rough outline of 2 drawings that are to be accomplished... someday? haha... before I go back to KL. :)

#sketch 1

#sketch 2

yup,the object drawn.

*my apology for the lack of likeliness.*
(anyway the photo is snapped from a different angle with  that of  what I  drew.)

Afternoon: went off to Wei Hui's house! ♥ she's still the same, with the hair much longer. :) Her dog still barked at me, her maid still cook very scrumptious dishes. Her bro, still play comp. hahah. Her handwriting is still that nice.

We spent valuable time together, reminiscing the life at secondary school, how we used to spend time together as deskmates and best friends. ☺

Our conversation stretched quite a long time, exchanging updates of our current life, updating recent news about our former classmates, where they went, what they're studying, etcetera. etcetera. Then, I gave her my blog link. :) 


*p/s: hopefully you do visit my blog! hahah :P*

casual outfit to her house

Then there's this cheeky thing.:P

Leng Kah Suen's drawing on Wei Hui's notebook last year.

p/s: How we wish you were there with us! we both miss you. :'P

Vandalism on Wei Hui's notebook by... me. Last year  :P

*it was a failed piece of art from me...but nvm, the memories remained still. (=  *

14.06.2012

Only part of my books on the bookshelf 
*those displayed above comprises mainly of my to-read-list books*

Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

This is the day that I started off cleaning my former bedroom during this sem break. Throwing off much more unnecessary items and packed them up for recycling purpose. This was then that I looked up at my bookshelf, the books remained untouched as if I've never left this place before. Admiring them, I decided that I will read novel as part of my major activities of the day. :)

 As a good head start, the famous Da Vinci Code written by Dan Brown, which was given by my uncle couple of years ago. Looking at it, I decided that it's the right time to pick it up for a read after all these years, that I've waited for my vocabulary knowledge grow up to certain level that I can finally start reading it. hmm.. haha, I'm still bad at English, but still, fair enough for others to comprehend.:P

13.06.2012

Yup, the day I started to continue learning chords of ukulele. In fact, I have a lot of doubt regarding how to play ukulele. It's not that easy as what I've thought earlier, although everyone around me says that ukulele can be simply learnt via internet, mainly from Youtube. However, I obviously need much more time to comprehend. :/

12.06.2012

I've been lazy and that pretty much explain why there's so less update on my blog lately ever since the last post: Nanyang Kopitiam.:) To cut it short, I'll just briefly talk about my holidays spent in Ipoh so far, and the highlights of the days.

12.06.2012

Breakfast: Even the bread in Ipoh is yummy :')

Chocolate Bread from Yohan
*(coffee-flavoured ones were sold out the night before)

Dinner: Oldtown Kopitiam with baba mama :)
( the last visit was 3 months ago during sem break)

*my favourite blended red bean milk*

Nanyang kopitiam :D

The Ipoh Pan mee that I've been craving for.:)

Mum says that this coffee is much nicer than the one in old town.:)

Sem break begins.

back in my hometown, Ipoh. Hmm, this is the town that I've lived in for 17 years. Some of things still look the same :) some of the things still look familiar to you, that you feel like crying just by looking at it. I am supposed to be enjoying the relaxing moment here, but, I don't know. Some of the things that happened in kl keep on haunting my mind. That sense of... regret? or anxiousness that I have for doing so badly in my final exam, specifically for chemistry. I love chemistry so much but I feel scared knowing that I don't comprehend much of the things taught in the previous sem. I still can't believe that I've left about 10+ questions blank during my final. Not to mention how badly I've done in my English test, the thought of how badly I've done in my Chemistry test just kill me. It feels...so scary.


This 2 to 3 weeks, I want to learn a lot of things, but I won't be mentioning all of them here. I want a change in my life. I want to be a better person. I want to do some research on the topics that I didn't manage to master last semester. I want no more regret, no more worries in my mind. Alright, I set my mind on science career now. I love Chemistry and I can't move on like this. Opportunities don't come chasing after you, it's always the other way round. So, yeah, I'm going to confront my every single weakness during this sem break. At the same time, I have a lot of things to catch up with, and some responsibilities that I must carry with me. Let's hope that I can balance up my life well during this whole week. Get a change. Tomorrow onwards, I must sleep before 1am. I'm sorry I didn't do as what I said last time that I want to sleep early. Now, the punishment comes. Another few books to be read, for my own good. 


Plan for tomorrow :


# clean up the house
# learn some new chords for ukulele
# start reading "Purpose Driven Life" 
  *Any spare time, do some research on Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy.
# cut down online time. < 3 times of visiting twitter & facebook.


Deadline for the plan: 13.6.2012




Rewards:
# play the sims 
# watch Taiwan drama series 

The best soup in the whole world. 
#莲藕汤 -----cooked by my beloved mum ♥

so blessed ☺

Yesterday, Malaysian studies exam was held, and this signified the end of the struggles with history facts. :D 


Just like usual, Ian gor gor fetched me from college, and he said that he wanted to get something first. So off we went, and suddenly he stopped somewhere in front of Amplitude Music Shop. He said "Lets go to Jonathan's shop!" I was curious why he brought me there and I just forgot about it. Then, when we entered the shop, he said that we're going to get an ukulele... O.O I was shocked. 


Thank you so much, really :) Thank you Ian gor gor for helping me to get train ticket and thank you Ian gor gor and Huey Huey Jie Jie for buying the ukulele for me.. I owe both of you a lot. I shall never forget how both of you have blessed me and been so generous to me. I dunno what to say, and I usually find it hard to express in words... THANK YOU so much! :D


and to Jon and Ian gor gor, sorry for taking so much time on deciding between the white ukulele and wood-textured ukulele. I liked the white one and it's like love at the first sight. It's like something that I'll long for since I was still very young. That desire to own a white musical instrument has been within me for so many years. Yet, when I hold it, I dunno, I had that sense of insecurity. I really like it and it looks really lovely, but I feel insecure holding it. How to say, I think I can't really protect it well, I can't really preserve its whiteness over a long period of time. I would have to ensure that my hands are clean before I lay my hands on it. I have to be careful all the time, even more careful than taking care of my phone. My phone is purely white in colour and I wipe it everyday using cotton buds. Everyday. It's cleanable as its surface is smooth compensated plastic surface. As for ukulele, its white surface is not cleanable. 


When I hold the brown wood-textured ukulele, I feel the sense of security. I feel like I can be totally carefree and I'll be playing it all the time. After considering for quite some time, I chose the brown one. Until now, I've never been regret. It's so beautiful and I think over time, I just love it more and more. I realized, what I feel when I hold it means so much more than what I feel when I see it physically. Something more, it does look nice physically too. :)


I promise that I won't ever give up on ukulele and I'll learn how to play it well. ;)

happy :)

Today I played the discs and watched Chromeheart  with my whole family! :D Feel happy though I dunno why. 


Going to bless another of my friend by giving her these two episodes of Chromeheart. :D It's a simple satisfaction gained, knowing that I'll be blessing people with this simple act. I'm glad that I won't be breaking my promise. Yeah! looking forward to what that will happen next. :D

:(

Tonight before mum and dad drove off back to Ipoh , they asked me to help popo to clean up the dishes and stuff. Only then I realized that grandma wasn't feeling well. How come I became so insensitive? After I've done helping her with the cleaning work, she smiled and said to me, " To take care after a family, to prepare a meal for them, doesn't only include cooking, it includes all the work from cooking to washing, wiping, cleaning up and rearranging all the plates back to where they belong (shelves and cupboards)".


Ya, she's aged a lot. I didn't realize that she's grown so old. She used to cook for us since we're still young. She cooked for our parents, brought them up, then she cooks for us. She's been cooking for generations after generations. Ya, today onward, I have to treasure her so much more. :') Thank you for being a superwoman for us for such a long time!


I love you ♥

:D

*this is the book mentioned.

Feel so free having my assignment done. What's up next? haha. Mum and Dad are coming to KL, out of a sudden, and so we cancelled our plan to head back to Ipoh. hmm. ya, so my weekend will be spent with them, I suppose, which I should.:) It's been such a long time I've never seen them! miss them so muchh. I miss hugging mum. I used to hug mum every day back in Ipoh. Everyday. Now I've got nobody to hug and now ta-da! I can hug mum again! XD ( forgive me for being childish or what, it's just me)


However, I still plan to finish up reading on the novel "wish you were here" by Philipa Ashley. I had bought this book years ago and I still haven't finished reading it. Now, it's the time! Next, I'll be reading "Purpose Driven Life" given by Ian gor gor and Huey Huey jie jie. :D I shall start finding out my purpose of life on earth. ;) well, sorry for procrastinating on the reading.


Excited! looking forward to accomplishing my to-do list that I've planned on since during exam! yay~ (syok sendiri)
