十年没见你了。。。。。是你吗？

十年。。。。十年了。。。。今晚再次遇到你，整颗心还是很紧张。。。。。不敢肯定是不是你。。。。。因为十年了。。。。你脸在我脑海里的记忆已经模糊了。。。。只敢瞄瞄看看一下是不是你，却又害怕被人发现。。。。。也须不是你。。。。也须我们曾在街上碰过面，但都已经不认得彼此了。。。。。。

不懂现在的你怎样了。。。拍拖了？结婚了？有孩子了？事业有成了？对我没有印象了？其实一直都有想过问问一下身边的人你怎样了。。。。。但没有一次鼓得起勇气问。。。。。。每当想开口，嘴巴就哑了。。。。。。。

因为你，我的人生观点改变很大。。。。。。因为你。。。。。直到今天我没办法真正相信一个人。。。。。。因为你。。。。影响了我做一些糊涂的选择。。。。。。。因为你。。。。。唉。。。。。。

你唯一的一张照片，我不知是否丢了，撕了，还是藏在哪一本相簿里。。。。。你亲自做的卡，我不知扔了，烧了还是藏在哪一个抽屉里。。。。。。。。

无论怎样。。。。。十年来。。。祈祷时都会记得你。。。。
接到消息你进到大学时，替你开心，祷告你能够顺利完成学业，因为我认识你时，你的学业并不是很好。。。。。。
听说你毕业了，回到 BP 做工了，为你祷告你能够找到一份好的工，赚多多的钱，因为我认识你时，你已经是很努力的在打拼赚自己的零用钱。。。。。
听说你拍拖了，替你开心，希望你找到的是一个会真正爱你和珍惜你的女子，而不是喜欢上你那俊俏的脸孔而已的女子。。。。
听说你胖了，没有之前的瘦，不稀奇，因为认识你时你本来就很厉害吃，所以为你祷告你依然健健康康的。。。。。。
接下来。。。。没勇气问你的事了。。。。。也就这样没有你的消息了。。。。。。
但还是依然没忘记你。。。。。祷告时很自动地会为你祈祷。。。。。。
没恨你。。。。没怪你。。。。。没怨你。。。。。。
我对你仅有的要求是。。。。你一定要过的好，过的快乐，过的幸福。。。。。。。。

Your Photos......My Inspiration and Comfort

These are my friend, Bernard's photos.......
His photos are very meaningful and they really provide inspiration to me in my life.......
Like his photos very much and hope to share with everyone......
Guess it will inspire you all too........

P/s: Bernard, kamsahamnida! Thanks for your permission, and kindly allow me to put in my interpretation on how your photos inspire me............ They have been a comfort to me.................

Bernard's version: Many times we keep rushing on something and negligent those thing or persons around us. Maybe sometimes we should slow down a bit, slow down a bit to care those peoples around us, say hi or hello. i believe some peoples wish to say hi and hello again to some buddy but never have the chance again. So why rushing ? as for me, my choice is, i take my time to value those around me.

My version: Life is really fast moving that sometimes we can't see clearly what we want......

At certain times too, we just blindly follow whoever that is in front of us. This can lead us to making wrong choices, and going too fast can cause us to make decisions that we might regret later in life.

This whole year, from January to August, I seem to be making wrong decisions in many aspects....... Hence, life was not smooth-sailing for me.......... Guess I went too fast and did not really see what I wanted.....Regretted some choices, yet I'm proud of myself that I chose to move on, instead of pondering about the past...........Hence, the confident me today, coz I chose to confront everything in my life, regardless of good or bad......Guess God saw that and turned everything from bad to good for me right now......Hope that this will continue..........

Bernard's version (1): This question pop up usually when a person standing in the middle of Y or T junction. Some path seems straight and smooth but some are not. Is that mean, choosing those smooth and straight path will reach the destination earlier and easier ? or is there a possibility that those paths which are bumpy and winding will happen to be a short cut ? there are too many doubts and question marks when people standing at those junction. Some times I am wandering, is it just me or other people facing this kind of problem. Anyway just a thought or maybe I am thinking too much. After all hope you all like this shot.

Bernard's version (2): Life is a matter of making choices and decisions. Sometimes some road that we choose has no turning back. we never know what we might encounter along the way. It's either we move on bravely or we pulse until we clear our doubts before we make a move, but in the end life goes on. Friends move on bravely and don't regret for what we have chose.

My version: There are many paths to choose in our life. No matter, the path is smooth or not, we never know what lies ahead in the end...... The smooth one might turn out to be the best, but it can also turn out to be the worse. The rough one can be quite as bad or may even turn out to be the best! Hence, what we can do is just to choose one, be determined and carry on with our choice, coz sometimes there is no turning back in life. Walk ahead and don't keep thinking about the 'road not taken'...........

I chose some paths that I thought was good in the beginning, and yet a few turned out to be bad...... Until today, I have never chosen a path that's bad at the beginning, hence I will never know what the bad road leads to in the end........ No courage to pick the bad road, for i'm not one who understands 先苦后甜 (bitter followed by sweetness)........ Hope that one day I will understand that...............

The Road Not Taken

By Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood,

and I— I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Bernard's version: Many times, there are long and hard journey ahead us which we felt tired and frustrated to move on, but we never know along the way we might found light ( friends ) even we are surrounded by darkness ( obstacles ). Try to look around and help those who need it and shine other's life up. Just like the sunshine.

My version: There is always a light at the end of a path, which is our hope in life that keeps us going on. The light might looks very near, but yet it seems so far............... It seems impossible to reach, yet if we keep on persevering, we might just capture it. However, do not procastinate, for time and tide waits for no man. Darkness might just come anytime..........

I hope for the light, I look out for the light..........Yet I seem not being able to catch the light. i choose to persevere, even though I know life sometimes can be unfair........ Not everything that we persevere will turn out to be good in the end........However, i still choose to persevere, for there is still a chance that i might just reach the light.......I have been wasting too much time in my 27 years of life.......I'm not going to repeat this mistake again for the next 27 and another 27 years of my life.......

Bernard's version: In the process of growing up we might face lot's of difficulties, why ? it's because too many first time for us, no experience. but in the end if we want to survive, we need to come out from comfort zone and face the world, only then we might be able to bear fruits

My version: Life is all about growing up........Some people might not survive the first stage, and still remain immature...... Some might go on to the next stage, learning to bloom......... However, only a few will really bloom and turn mature....... Which stage are we right now?

For 26 years, I have been in the first stage......... Now, I can proudly say that I'm in the second stage......I'm learning to bloom, the right way to bloom........Learning from my past mistakes, from the people around me, from incidents impacting me........hoping that one day I will bloom ......Then, I can gladly say that I have bloomed to my fullest.............

Bernard's version: Even though the road ahead may seems to be hard, bumpy, winding and sometimes even need our faith to move another step, but don't give up, don't hesitate to step forward.

My version: Looking at this road to leading to the 'sky', I learn to appreciate what God has done for me...... I learn to appreciate God's greatness and the hope of eternal life that He has given to me........ God's way is never smooth and straight........ His way is narrow and crooked........ Yet His way is the only way that promises us the way leading to heaven......... I'm glad that I chose to believe in Him....... Have you?

Fourth thing, I discarded certain people from my life (all aspects)。。。。。my emotional baggage。。。。no more am I going to be affected by them anymore。。。。。。no use pondering or even reminiscing about them, trying to please them and giving in to all their needs and requests。。。。。it’s a waste of time!!! Have to treasure those that treasure me for who I am 。。。。。。

Next, no more all Chinese in my blog。。。。。。。
A new start also means a new way of writing, haha!
Style cannot change, change language lah!
(Got to change, coz many ppl around me complaining they dunno how to read Chinese)

No. 6, Looking back in my wardrobe, my goodness, I have been wearing the same clothes for one year。。。。I have not been topping up my clothes for so long!!!! That’s not me!!! Got to go on a shopping spree。。。。。。。not forgetting new shoes too。。。。。

No. 7, My pc is full of nonsense files。。。。。。 Got to clear them up, delete, delete, delete。。。。。 those that are not relevant anymore must go。。。。。 retain only the important ones。。。

No. 8, Get rid of all the rubbish in my house, making space for new items that I plan to buy。。。。。hehehe!

自己来。。。。。Steamboat 烧烤

After badminton, the five of us - GekBoon, Kim, ZhongFa, HueyPin & me went to '自己来 ' to eat our dinner. First time there, nice place。。。。。Just that when we walked out, we were all very smelly due to the smoke from the pan。。。。。。Love the bamboo clams, scallop, prawns, beef marinated with curry powder, the tomyam soup and many other types of food! The most special one is our Mr. ZhongFa's fried oyster with egg! It was really marvellicious!!!!

The way we cook is really messy and 'terrible'。。。。。

Our chef busy making fried oyster with egg for us to eat。。。



All of us busy eating。。。。no time to talk。。。

Eating is not about the place, but the people around you。。。。。

Even if the place is right, but the people not right, it won't be fun。。。。

Even if the place is wrong, but the people right, it will still be fun。。。。

If both the place and people are right, it is PERFECT!!!

Planning my next trip to this place already。。。。。。

马家五大宝贝。。。。。。

The latest addition: Chow Sheryl

No. 4: Chua Rui Xiang。。。。。。。No. 3: Chow Sher Lyn

No. 2: Chua Rui Syuen。。。。。。。No.1: Chua Rui Chen

They are all from the Ma family, yet they don't carry the surname Ma。。。。。???????

Becoz my uncle and aunt are their maternal grandparents!

They don't have sons, only 2 daughters。。。。。but they still have 5 grandchildren very close to them!

So, don't think that only sons have value, daughters have their value too。。。。。。

These 5 children are the ones bringing joy and laughter to the family。。。。。

Not forgetting。。。。。the 6th one is on its way!

A Little Dim Sum Place。。to。。Manhattan Fish Market

This 'A Little Dim Sum Place' in SS2 has one of the nicest dim sums I have ever eaten. Their dim sums are all so unique and delicious。。。。。If you happen to be at SS2, Petaling Jaya, remember to stop there and fill your stomach。。。。。。。Yeah, and we stopped there before going to Sam's wedding dinner, haha!


this bun with egg yolk paste is marvellicious! the egg tarts are just ok, but that green thing behind is also filled with the same egg yolk paste and its skin is made of bitter gourd! but the funny thing is, it is sweet and not bitter at all。。。。。。。

on the left is banango prawn fritter - yeah! banana, mango and prawn all in one!

on the right is lily scallop roll that is wrapped with beancurd sheet

both are mouth-watering!!!

the 'lomaikai' and mushroom lettuce roll are also nice。。。。

this 'shrimp cage' is also worth trying!

Before going back to BP, 大姨，Ah Tio, 六姨 and the three of us went for lunch at Manhattan Fish Market near The Curve. Actually wanted to go to Marsche, but becoz of the Ramadan month, nothing interesting for lunch there。。。。。Well, let me tell you, Manhattan was worth the money!

We ordered 2 sets of these fried mushrooms, coz everyone loves it! & there are 3 types of sauces for you to choose to eat with your food。。。。。


let the waiter show you how they 'burn up' the fish on this giant manhattan seafood platter!

the calamari fettucine is also nice。。。。。while the crispy fried whitebait (a kind of small white fish) must be mixed with the coleslaw underneath to make it delicious!

Sam and his Destinee。。。。

cousins who have not seen each other for more than 7 years。。。。except for Sam!

toasting ceremony。。。。。。。

our wantan mee 姑丈 and 姑妈 and their two daughters，Fong and Fen

Went to KL, not really KL, it's PJ & Puchong。。。。。to attend my beloved cousin brother's wedding。。。。。。。who always keeps in constant contact with us, and never makes us feel left out when we went back to Taiping when my dad was still alive。。。。。。。who keeps cracking silly jokes to make us laugh and can talk to us on the phone for more than half an hour。。。。。。。。。who sings karaoke together with my bro and sis in jb。。。。。。。。。

Saw many of my father's side relatives whom I've not seen for dunno how many years。。。。。。

Was never really close to them except for my 姑妈's family - the one carrying on the family business of selling wantan mee。。。。。。and Sam is his son。。。。。。。。

Very 'kekok' talking to them。。。。they themselves also feeling 'kekok' coz they themselves also seldom contact each other。。。。。。。

Glad for my cousin - Sam, who has been getting married for 3 years after 'paktoing' for so so many years。。。。。。。。haha!
