21. I had dengue fever on the last week of SPM examination. I was sitting for the Biology and Add Math paper with high fever. I had fever for a few day but didn’t suspect it to be dengue. It was after the examination when my parents bring me to doctor and they take my blood count that I know I have dengue fever. Lucky it was not serious till have to admit hospital immediately. I still remember the day my dad brought me a ‘Kool Fever’ (those for kids to stick on forehead when have fever) in the middle of examination. The invigilator knocked at my desk and asked if I’m …… and he passed me the ‘Kool Fever’
22. During SPM karangan paper, the Indian boy sitting behind me, I think his name is Maeleigan suddenly scream and pushed his table forward. I think he’s frustrated. One of the teacher has to bring him out to relax himself and he’s like talking to himself. That really affected me somehow that I wasn’t thinking properly while writing the malay essay.
23. During my college days, I wasn’t afraid of giving presentations. I always wonder what seem to be bothering my friends who are afraid to do presentation in class. I seem to know what I want to say just by looking back at the slides I prepared.
24. I’ve walked around a shopping mall with my pants unzipped… didn’t notice until an aunty come and tell me ‘Girl, you forgot to zip’. I looked and saw it open that I didn’t know where to hide my face. I quickly cover with my bag and search for toilet. This remind me of a more embarrassing ‘forgot to zip’ incident. I was late for work so I was rushing and I forgot to zip my skirt (zip is behind) after putting the button. Drove to LRT and took LRT all the way to office. No place to sit so I was standing and saw people keep looking at me… I just ignore them and slept. It was only when I came down from the LRT that a kind Samaritan tell me discreetly that my skirt zip is open …. OMG … I just pull the zip up immediately right there. Habis ler…. See everything already lu..
25. I do not know how to cook … not at all. I once cooked a meal for my family and it ended up a total disaster. Either it’s overcooked, no taste or not cooked. Mummy ended up needed to cook another time with limited material because I used up all the vegetables and meat. I guess it’s best that I remain at the other end of the equation…the one eating.
But seriously, I need to learn to cook because I had never cooked a nice delicious meal for mummy and now I regretted it =(
26. I’ve tried working non-stop from morning till night. It was tiring but enjoyable. I worked in the office day time and at the clinic night time and on weekends & public holiday. Dad thought I putus cinta or something like that he keep asking me to ‘thai hoi di’ and if got something bothering me, to share with him and mummy.
27. I used to be the lazy bum, never do my duty of cleaning the classroom. Actually not lazy lah, but just got no time to do. Morning bus arrive late then don’t get to sapu class. Recess not allowed to stay in class, don’t get to sapu again. After school, have to rush back home because bus is not waiting. You tell me where got time. I used to didn’t like the ketua kebersihan last time. He always make me miss the school bus. THE WORSE is I HAVE TO TAKE BUS HOME. IF GOT ENOUGH MONEY then can take bus BDR TUN RAZAK, get down near SMK (Cheras) walk across the 2 pedestrian bridge to take another bus home. Else if got not enough money, WALK ALL THE WAY TO MIDAH entrance, cross the pedestrian bridge and take bus home. SOME MORE LAST TIME OUR BAG NOT LIGHT LEH!! The only consolation is that I’ve trained myself to walk fast and long distance… not bad at all =D
28. I almost let myself become the 3rd party in a love relationship … falling recklessly in love with a guy with girlfriend of more than 5 years. As much as it hurts, I’m glad I decided to let go and avoided the guy at all cost. Else I may have very bad karma.
29. I’ve worked for free for someone because I thought it was love. I ended up being a business slave with nothing to gain except for feeling being used and stupid.
30. One of the biggest lie I told my parents is when I went to HUKM (hospital) to undergo a biopsy last December 2003 and a few follow ups without then knowing a single thing. I went through it all by myself because I don’t know who to tell and what to do. I remember traveling with my family for local holiday the day right after the day of biopsy… suffering in silence and pretending to be happy. Only GOD knows how much I’ve hidden in the toilet and cried. http://su_.blogspot.com/2004/12/cant-think-of-heading-part-1.html

picture from www.corbis.com Make time for breakfast ... It can make your day.
Breakfast do wonderful things for us =)
On a separate note, I attended a course on '7 Habits of Highly Effective People' about 2 weeks ago and I've started putting them in practice. It does help in my work where I finish my job for 2 days in 1 day by prioritising and focusing.
The 7 habits are as follow :
1. Be proactive
2. Begin with the end in mind
3. Put first thing first
4. Think win win
5. Seek first to understand, then to be understood
6. Synergize
7. Sharpen the saw

50th Merdeka, 50 memories - Part 2
11. My mum & dad are working parents & reaches home around 8 – 9pm on weekday nights. They know I’ll not study on my own. They found a magical way to motivate me to study. They tempted me with $$ . Money is a scarce commodity to me and of course I didn’t hesitate to study hard for the $$ not my future , sad to say. Mum & dad surely understand their daughter really well.
12. I used to have porridge for lunch and dinner with salted egg / fish, black taucu fish, nam yu, fried onion …etc because that’s what my babysitter’s family eat. At one point of time, I got too fed up that I jumped at every opportunity to rice outside.
13. My kindergarten teacher say to me ‘ Ni wei shen mer na mo ben?’ (translated ‘ What are you so stupid) because I just couldn’t figure how to tie a ribbon despite she coming over to my place and show me how to tie right in front of my eyes. I was the only one in the class that didn’t know how to tie a ribbon. It was many many months later, in a dream that I figure out how to tie a ribbon. This lead to point no.14
14. I never have a pair of shoelace shoes before in lower primary because I don’t know how to tie ribbon. Mum always buy the zap on shoes for me (which is more expensive during then)
15. There were a certain period in my life when I called my mummy as aunty and my babysitter as ‘ah ma’. This must have made mummy very sad =( I ‘lou gai’ and refuse to follow my parents home during weekends. Perhaps god is punishing me for not wanting to spend time with my parents that now I don’t get to spend time with mummy anymore.
16. During primary school and lower secondary school, I love weekends. That’s because we will go for family outings. It may just be a visit to the mall, watch a movie or eating out but it made me happy for the whole day.
17. I think I have inferiority complex at one point of my life that I feel so low, so useless. I didn’t know how it comes and never knew how it went away. But during then, I just felt I was good at nothing.
18. Cutting tomboyish hair is not new to me. I’ve tried that few times during secondary school and college day. I even have a lecturer in college who thought I’m a new student joining the class and got a shock when I told him my name. I must have been crazy.
19. Being clumsy, I’ve hurt myself at sports during school days. Some of the most memorable and painful ones … landing on my buttock and hurt my private part while doing long jump, being knocked down by another player running from opposite direction during captain ball, cramp at hamstring during 1500m race, pengsan while training for rumah sukan, crooked little baby finger from netball game.... leaving scars all over my body.
20. I’ve carved my hands along while doing carving for our ART class project. Due to my clumsiness again, I accidentally carve the part joining the thumb and index finger of my palm. Blood were gushing out from the wound like fountain and started to colour my long sleeve ‘perpustakawan’ (librarian) shirt red. Puan Zaini pulled me out of the Bilik Seni (ART classroom) on the ground floor, put my hand under running water tap before bringing me to Puan Normala (Penolong Kanan)’s room for first aid. I was fainting seeing so much of my blood flowing out that I didn’t quite remember what happened. The moment I woke up, I was laying in Penolong Kanan room and saw the fan spinning while some teachers gather beside me. My palm was wrapped with patches of blood on the ‘kain kasa’. The SCAR is still here till today. And I definitely remember what Puan Normala said when I woke up. She said ‘Nampak darah, sudah pengsan. Macam mana mau jadi doctor?’ I guess that’s why I’m not a doctor today =)

50th Merdeka, 50 memories - Part 1
I've got my independence. this is the journey
starting from today till 31 August 2007, there will be 5 installments of celebrations in my life thus far.
Without these memories, I'm no one.
With these memories, at least I'm someone.
today's 1st installment..
1. Once a thief : While my baby sitter’s daughter was getting a haircut from a salon nearby, I stole some pages from the salon’s magazines. Where the heck did I find the courage to tear the pages with pictures I like and fold them before stuffing them into my pocket. I didn’t get away as I’ve got a good scolding by my babysitter (mama) when reached home. I was a thief at the age of 5.
2. Twice a thief : money meant a lot to me last time, perhaps due to growing up in my babysitter’s home which is not too financial sound. Ashamed to admit, but I changed the price tag of the item I wanted to buy to a cheaper tag. The difference may be a few bucks but it matters when you that’s all you have. Lucky I wasn’t caught doing that and that they still do not have barcode during then. I wonder what will happen if I was caught doing that? The supermarket is no longer in operation or else I may repay my sin by buying more from the supermarket.
3. I used to borrow $$ from friends in primary school last time. The food portion for 1 in school doesn’t seem to be enough for me. I wasn’t given pocket money by mum & dad last time because my babysitter prepares recess food for me. And it’s ALWAYS bread with kaya and butter or plain steam potatoes without fail. I’ve got so tired of it and threw the food away for fear of being scolded. Looking back it was very wasteful of me. I was always surrounded by debt as I only get some allowance from my babysitter when I help them with ‘balut kek’
4. I used to be always copy my friends homework because I never finished mine. I used to arrive early in the morning and start copying friend’s homework. At one stage during schooling, I used to do my homework in the bus because I just want to play when I reach home. In the school bus, I’ll be kneeling on the floor and writing on the seats… aiseh, look darn hardworking =p
5. When I was 4 years old, I accidentally locked myself in the toilet for hours and cried till I lost my voice. I was just plain stupid that I just couldn’t figure how to open that darn lock. I ended being too tired and almost cried myself to sleep.
6. I used to take bath outside the house … at the garden pipe. All because they say, the water pressure is higher outside and they are too many adults queuing to take bath in the bathroom. I’ll run around naked playing with water and chasing little ducks and chicks. Yes my baby sitter reared chickens and ducks in the garden and backyards.
7. I’m not afraid of dogs and I used to play with a dog taller than me at my baby sitter’s home. I still remember how the dog accompanied us when my babysitter walked me to the kindergarten. How I sometimes bully the dog by throwing his food far far so that he go catch them. How the dog always wait for me to come back home after school.
8. I used to stand at the school bus entrance like bus conductor, with the wind blowing. I used to like to be ‘dai ka jie’ bringing small kids across the road back to their mother’s arms. Quickly run up to get a seat when bus driver say there’s police in front. I know the uncle and aunty bus driver very well because I always chat with them. One more fun thing, when the bus go through road bump, I jump in time and we bounced high. Come to think of it, why am I so stupid standing at the bus entrance when my parents are paying full fare. Shouldn’t I be seated comfortably or sleeping?
9. As my babysitter takes care of 4 children and I’m the ‘dai fan shu’, I used to be the ‘dai kuei tao’ who bring the kiddies roaming around. Start creating games to play. Start bullying. Start teaching other kids to do homework and most importantly, start WARs =p kekeke…
10. I always think this is really COOL … fighting with my babysitter’s neighbour’s son while playing people’s Nintendo at people’s house. Went home with a bengkak head due to terhantuk at the sewing maching. Memang ‘never give face’ leh … from then on, I don’t get to play Nintendo anymore…

protective mode ON
Yesterday early morning
My heart was once again melted by this very man ...
who in time of need, so protective over me =p
I was driving to my shop while he was driving to work
Nothing unusual except that it started to rain
and the rain got heavier and heavier.
Up to a certain point where I can't see clearly anymore
not to mention my 'lau yar au ta' wipers =p
He who was following behind me all the way
overtook me and lead the way.
Of course I must mentioned that I was travelling at a slow speed
as I was struggling to see ahead in the heavy rain
On a positive note
Benefit of doubt given =p
Maybe he knows I'm not accustomed to driving in heavy downpour
especially with my poor eyesight.
Maybe he's aware that following his car is much easier for me
OR maybe I'm driving TOO SLOW that he cannot 'TAHAN' liao =p
Anyhow I still choose to believe that he's being protective =)
You know lah... a girl in love always look at things on the brighter side one =p
and did I mentioned that he called me at the traffic light just to check if I have umbrella.
the ironic is he also doesn't have an umbrella to offer if I answer I don't have umbrella.
Perhaps he understand me too well that I wouldn't want an umbrella from him =p
but I really appreciate these small little caring gestures he did for me.
It just melt every girl's heart, not just mine I think =p
that's when I've to start worrying =p
ps : the above photo was not taken during the heavy rain. It was taken much earlier when I'm as a passenger in his car =p so I don't get scolded for playing with camera phone when driving =p

The Pursuit of Happyness
I've just finished watching this movie
and I just love this movie .... beautiful.. inspiring
It doesn't matter how happiness is spelled ... but the person who spelled it wrongly actually know that happyness had to be pursued... I find this meaningful
This movie is inspired by a true story of Chris Gardner.
Another inspiring thing about this movie is seeing the beautiful bonding between the father & son. We can feel the love and hope they share. It was touching to see how they are such a comfort & strength to each other as they struggle from one hardship to another.
Enough of story telling, do not want to spoil the fun for those who have yet to watch.
Will Smith & his son Jaden Smith are excellent actors. Jaden is simply adorable.

remember tung tung?
Remember Tung Tung? She has graduated last saturday... so much more earlier than any of us here.
This photo was taken by her school teacher. They have allowed her to graduate from school first as she has to take leave from school to go for treatment.
Now she has graduated from life ... leaving behind sweet memories.
She has been a strong girl ... so much stronger than most of us here.
We know she's in good hands and there will be many looking after her.
Tung Tung, jie jie will always remember that day you purposely come out from house to talk to jie jie. We love you Tung Tung.
Mummy, please take care of Tung Tung.

You’re not a girl
" You’re not a girl "
I cannot imagine someone is telling me that I'm not a girl.
“ You’re not a girl”
this was my colleague’s reaction when she found out that I’ve not even trimmed my hair for almost a year.
"Ah but then?? I’m a boy kah?" I quipped.
“ What happened to you girl? Even the guys go to the barber more often than you do!”
“ You think they like to go barber kah? That’s because they can’t afford to keep their hair long” I answered back.
“ No wonder you hair like that lah... " she added
I can only laugh ... I honestly didn't know what to say. what to say. what to say

Pleasure
S For ...
One of my tall & beautiful colleague who is always busy in the office is secretly indulging herself in some very pleasurable and exciting activities after work and on weekends.
When I showed interest of joining their hip group to get a ‘feel’, she quickly pull me aside.
She : Are you sure? You will get addicted like me, you know. It’s very ‘song’ (pleasurable in Cantonese) especially when we do it with different people… you know different sizes (she opened her eyes wide wide)
Me : Oh … trying to look shy shy
She : just make sure you don’t bring your bf or your girl friends unless they are as ‘open’ to new things as you. 21 years old & above ah and participants are responsible for their own actions. How much you enjoy yourselves depend on you & the other participants ah.
Me : How much ah?
She : Depending on what’s your preference lor … can opt for 1-to-1, 2-to-1, 3-to1, 4-to-1 session or like me if you want more excitement & ‘ohm’ type of experience ah..better join the group session. For the kind of joy and pleasure we get ah, the service charge is nothing. You pay once, can join 8 sessions leh.
Me : where’s the place?
She : let me tell you ah, it’s not for the faint-hearted. It’s quite near where I stay. You can come with me after work.
Me : a bit scare lah me
She : You think think 1st lah … but just don’t tell anyone yet. Surprise is a great element, you know. BTW, if you are coming … no need to wear much as it will be taken off … you want to try new things, don’t you … she winked at me before walking away.
While I stand there dumb-founded. I just couldn't believe it. She doesn't seem to be that 'type' of person... but people do change.
The above conversation was added salt and vinegar to entertain =p
My colleague attended jewelleries and accessories making class and made many bracelets and necklace for many of us.
Thanks a lot, Jackie.

not meant for office work
I couldn't imagine myself sitting here right in front of my home PC trying to finish some office work when I'm supposed to be having some sweet dreams. Or at least let my liver cells repair and rejuvenate themselves. It is believed in the traditional chinese medical studies that liver recuperate from 11pm to 1 am while we are asleep at night.
This is too much and I vowed not to let it happen again. Weekends and holidays are not meant for office work. I repeat 'NOT MEANT FOR OFFICE WORK'. I have long understand this yet am angry with myself for not adhering to what I'm advocating.
But then again, someone say life is always never how we wanted it to be. Yes, true but at least we must take effort to ensure we have the life we want. The last thing we want is for others to take charge of our life ... especially when we are at the losing end of the equation.
There's so much more to life ... so much more =)
why should I be so 'mang' with this little 'sap sap sui' matter?
I shall have a good night sleep =)

Growing old sweetly
I was day dreaming in the LRT the other day, when an old couple alighted the LRT at the PUDU LRT station.
The grandma & grandpa stood at the first carriage right behind the driver carriage.
Grandpa took very good care of grandma, ensuring that she has something to hold on to while grandma hold on to grandpa just to ensure he doesn’t fall when the train stop.
Grandma was holding a plastic bag when grandpa take it from her and placed it on the floor.
I overheard grandma said something about what the doctor say about grandpa.
Grandpa kept on saying ‘nothing wan la’ in hokkien.
The got down at Bandar Tun Razak station as I do, behind them I saw grandpa telling grandma in that they will be getting down this station.
Grandpa then hold grandma’s hand, took the plastic bag and got down from the LRT.
When climbing stair, grandpa let grandma left hand holds the rail while holding grandma right hand.
Perhaps it was due to grandpa is smaller in size than grandma, that I feel he really make much effort to take care of grandma … and I do believe that their love is unconditional. I do.
Check out what 'wise tree says' on the left ..
"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage."
Lao Tzu

如果没有遇见你,
我将会是在哪里?
日子过得怎么样,
人生是否要珍惜?
也许认识某一人,
过着平凡的日子.
不知道会不会,
也有爱情甜如蜜?
任时光匆匆流去,
我只在乎你.
心甘情愿感染你的气息.
人生几何能够得到知己?
失去生命的力量也不可惜.
所以我求求你,
别让我离开你
除了你, 我不能感到,
一丝丝情意.
如果有那么一天,
你说即将要离去
我会迷失我自己,
走入无边人海里.
不要什么诺言,
只要天天在一起.
我不能只依靠,
片片回忆活下去.
任时光匆匆流去,
我只在乎你.
心甘情愿感染你的气息.

我将会是在哪里?
日子过得怎么样,
人生是否要珍惜?
也许认识某一人,
过着平凡的日子.

It feels right..
I've been doing my limited and lazy version of yoga consecutively for 4 nights already =)
It could be just 'placebo' effect .. somehow it just feels right.
I feel I could sleep better especially after the breathing exercise. But my friend say I was plain exhausted.
Also with the exercise, it helps to reduce my guilt of eating too much for supper.
I find this very relaxing & comforting. I'm beginning to love yoga more & more each day.
With only the light from a tea light candle and my favourite music playing softly, I just let my body flow and adapt to the yoga poses. Never pushing myself too hard.. after all practice make perfect.
I'm trying to improve on my 'balance' as I'm too weak in balancing. Now I know why I can't stand still and straight in the assemblies during school times =p

Reading Joy
I found back my joy in reading!!! =) by accident .. when I stumble upon Dan Brown's collections while cleaning my room. It was there in my cupboard for humpteen weeks if not year.
Reading was and is part and parcel of my life.
I'm always grateful that I can read wherever and whenever I want to.
However, it's only lately I realised the 'thing' about reading .. it really help to calm my nerves.
I can be VERY LATE for work early in the morning, stress of having TOO MUCH to do at work, stress of MONEY problem, stress of HOUSEHOLD challenges ... yet when I start reading ... everything seem to dissolve into the air. It will then just be me and my book or magazine or newspapers.
Reading is a form of enjoyment.
Not only it nourishes our mind & soul, it helps to relieve stress.
Trust me, get a good book .. something that interest you and start reading =) Let the magic of reading do wonders =)
p.s. as bonus, we do get tax relief of RM700 for purchase of books. Go browse through the book store and grab some good books.. it's the best investment you can give yoourself.
ps. Xim Phou Moon .. a welfare organisation do sell very affordable books and magazines. Feel free to visit their shop at Leisure (diagonally opposite Giant Supermarket)

Tung Tung
Tung Tung is a 6 year old girl. She has a pair of smiling eyes. However, behind her smiling eyes, is a little girl with thalassemia. Thalassemia is an inherited autosomal recessive blood disease http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalassemia
" There is no cure for thalassemias, and the best treatment available today consists of frequent blood transfusions (every two to three weeks). Bone marrow transplants may also be used, despite the risk of further complications." - wikipedia
Tung Tung is currently undergoing stem cell transplant in place of bone marrow transplants. She has to undergo chemotherapy to ensure that her little body does not reject the stem cells. However, the day before yesterday, Tung Tung experience kidney dysfunction. Doctor has no clue about it & has no medication to it. So far her's is the second case. The 1st case patient recovered by himself after 2 days.
Tung Tung has to fight it. To all my friends, please pray for her recovery. She's a strong child. Our combined prayers will give her strength to get over this illness.
ps. as of yesterday, we got to know that Tung Tung condition has improved. God has been listening to our prayers..

The mandarin speaking knight in shining amour
Sometimes we are so blind that it takes something to happen to make us realized how much a person care for us.
This is how I found my mandarin speaking knight in shining amour =p
Queuing to get our passport stamped to cross the border to Macau, a new lane open and everyone dashed to the new lane including me & dear. The lane are surrounded by stainless steel railing, just enough to fit 2 person in a lane.
In the process, commotion happened and me & dear got stucked in between. A group of Chinese from Thailand in front of us and a group of Indonesian Chinese behind us were fighting for the place in front of us.
The Indonesian girl grabbed my hand by mistake and started pulling me to the front. I couldn’t move as one of our bags got stuck at the railing. I wanted to tell the girl that she has got the wrong hand but it all happened too fast and the girl didn’t even look back to see who’s she pulling.
It was then I heard a male voice asking ’what are you doing?’ in mandarin. I think the Indonesian was just as shocked as I do that she let go off my hand immediately.
It then dawn on me that ‘my knight in shining amour’ has appeared =p a mandarin-speaking one some more =p He is none other than my dear .. protecting me in times of need.
On a lighter note, if it was a girl holding dear’s hand … wonder what will I say or do? And if I do say something, in what language will it be? Hehe… =p

Mother Mary, please hear our prayers for mummy.
Mother Mary
A very beautiful church we stumbled upon in Macau.
Medicine No Fakes
A mobile library in the market, how nice =)
This old man has chosen a very good spot to sleep ... the sign board says "Bos sini"
Taken in front of a China Bank ... Bei Bei Jing Jing Huan Huan Ying Ying Ni Ni ... literally translated as Beijing welcomes you.
I love the symetrical'ness of this photo with buildings on both sides
Near the Fisherman's Wharf, this is one of my favourite spot. Love the greeneries =)
