Funerals....

I can't go to funerals. Coming out of one, I tend to get very upset..... Especially if the deceased is someone young and nice, having a bright future ahead of him / her......

Following on, every meal that I take will make me guilty. Every fun that I have will make me feel even bad. Looking in the mirror every morning, the same question will keep circling in my head: Why am I still here? I am no better than a lot of people in this world. Why does God still keep me here on earth?

The good thing out of funerals are that I tend to push myself further. I tell myself that I can't just rest like I have plenty of years ahead of me. I need to get things going so that even when I'm gone one day, there will be no regrets. Besides that, I tell myself I need to start doing things that I've planned but never get them materialized so far.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Looking at AM and CH at the funeral, my heart really goes out to them. 白发人送黑发人。。。I can't imagine how my mum will take it if the one lying in the coffin is me or my brother or my sister...... Hope this will never have to happen to her..........

To AM and CH, may God comfort you all during this time and heal your wounds as time passes.

Going back to 'Masyarakat Jahiliah'........

Another life gone due to those stupid idiotic snatch thieves. A happy go lucky young guy, planning to get married next year, lost his life while chasing after a snatch thief who took away with his laptop while he was working on it. Two of that guy's accomplices stabbed him a few times on his side, and it happened that they stabbed into his aorta, that caused him to die.

The government should impose life imprisonment (I'm not a supporter of the death penalty) for those snatch thieves that cause people to die. These cold-blooded animals are inhumane and do not know the value of life. Isn't it ridiculous that nowadays our lives are not even worth the price of a laptop or maybe even a bag.

It has always been said that our lives depend on God. However, nowadays, our lives depend on heartless human beings. If they decide to just snatch away our items and just run off, we are considered lucky. If they decide to give you just a punch on the head, you are considered fortunate.

I shudder to think what would have happened to me if I had decided to give chase to the snatch thief that took away with my bag (full of valuable things and RM500 cash) during my uni days... Anyway, I should be thankful to the thief that he cut off my bag strap and not my hand. I should be grateful that he did not push me into the drain that I was standing next to which was 5 metres deep. I should 'bersyukur' coz he was quick and professional enough to snatch away my bag without me feeling it. Shouldn't I????

What kind of world is this today? I really feel that we the human race are moving backwards towards the 'masyarakat jahiliah' that we learnt in our form 4 history book.

Ai.......

RIP Swee Leong

Just the thing that I need..........

Just a hint is
what I hope
yet the eyes
never blink
nose and ears
never quiver
lips never part


An assurance
is what I need
yet
the hands

not reach out
STOP
the feet
continues
their
own journey
throwing
me
abandoning
me
PLEASE
leaving
me behind
WAIT
struggling
for
stability


An answer
is what I need
yet
silence
takes over
dusk and dawn
stillness
still
till

SLE..... took her away.....

Another death.....

This time a uni fren of mine.....SLE

There are another 2 more gals I know out there who have this SLE too.... However, I'm glad for them that they are living life ok.

For those who do not know what is SLE, this is it:

SLE (systemic lupus erythomatesus)

Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemic_lupus_erythematosus. If you want to know even more, go to this website.

Sample pict: Typical butterfly like rash over the cheeks in SLE patients

Systemic lupus erythematosus is a chronic autoimmune connective tissue disease that can affect any part of the body. As occurs in other autoimmune diseases, the immune system attacks the body’s cells and tissue, resulting in inflammation and tissue damage.

SLE most often harms the heart, joints, skin, lungs, blood vessels, liver, kidneys, and nervous system. The course of the disease is unpredictable, with periods of illness (called flares) alternating with remissions. The disease occurs nine times more often in women than in men, especially between the ages of 15 and 50, and is more common in those of non-European descent.

SLE is treatable through addressing its symptoms, mainly with corticosteroids and immunosuppressants; there is currently no cure. SLE can be fatal, although with recent medical advances, fatalities are becoming increasingly rare. Survival for people with SLE in the United States, Canada, and Europe is approximately 95% at five years, 90% at 10 years, and 78% at 20 years.


Will remember the time we had.... staying on the same floor.....visiting each other's room......mamak stall together......bitching bout those idiotic seniors........cracking jokes and laughing together........... visiting your condo...... bringing you to hospital......

Fui Yen...... rest in peace.......

It's really small.....

Things can be quite weird sometimes......

The last 3 referrals that I received since July till now were either my schoolmates' brothers or cousin brother.

The first was MT's brother. I guess I was slow in picking up traces of facts. I did not even see the similarity even after listening to his mum telling me about her pitiful life. The first child was a stillborn...... Then, his 3rd child died in a road accident during his teenage years, followed by my friend, MT who died of cancer. Now, the youngest is a slow learner.

You know.... My daughter should be as big as you if she's still alive. She died of cancer.
I'm so sorry.
How old are you?
I'm born in 1981.
My daughter too. Where did you study last time?
Convent.
Convent? My daughter was there too!
(Then I began to realize that the boy's surname was W.)
Is your daughter MT?
Yeah.......
Oh.... The world is so small......

MT's brother did come and join us for 2 months, but due to certain circumstances he had to stop. It's really a pity though, coz he was such a potential for open employment. Maybe it was because he was MT's brother that I favoured him more, maybe it was his pitiful background so I paid more attention to him. Anyhow, he's not with us anymore. All the best to you, KS!


The second one was M's cousin brother.

This centre is a Christian centre, right?
Yes.
Which church set up this centre?
GGBP.
My sister is there too.
Izzit?
Her name is PL.
Oh, her daughter is M, right? We were once classmates.
Yeah, that's my niece.
Oh..... The world is so small.....


The third one.....

How old are you, teacher?
Born in 1981.
My daughter too. Maybe you know my daughter. She's an accountant.
I don't think I know her.
When she was in sec. school, she studied in Convent.
Convent? Wat's her name?
CP.
Oh.... The world is so small........

It's really small......


But I really hope in the future, I don't see my friends...... in such a manner. Send me anything, but not your children to me..............

Frozen.....

I'm down, this week....
Really down.....

The feeling of betrayal by someone that you have always helped all along, even though she doesn't deserve it is equal to shit. It's not what this person owes or whether she has been putting in effort to clear them, it's just that whatever she does is just for her own selfish reasons without giving a damn hoot about other people. It's just like she's reaping off another person's life jacket in order to keep herself afloat.

" Trust no one but yourself." I regret not learning this earlier. Well, my uni degree doesn't cover this and I am just plain stupid to allow myself be reaped of of my life jacket. For the next few months, years and my life down the road, never again will I fall into the trap of tears and soppy stories. Anyone can just flood the whole town, but I will never take out my life jacket again.

I'm going to freeze my heart, let it be frozen and make myself stay in cold storage. I'm going to be cold-blooded, inhumane and turn into a zombie with no emotions.

Yes, trust no one but myself.

The Real Patriotism and 1Malaysia

At last, National Day is over. It is really sickening to hear those hypocritical politicians talking about patriotism and 1Malaysia, regardless of their race or religion. It is even sickening to see some of them waving the national flag, proclaiming their patriotic spirit, while at the same time inciting hatred in certain races towards other races.

Why can't these people see that by inciting hatred in each other, they are actually trying to break the country into pieces. If they are really that patriotic, they should be thinking of ways to unite the whole country instead of causing it to crumble.

If we want to be patriotic, the next election we should be voting for the right politician that promotes unity among races, unity among religion, unity among people of different status. We should let those racial based politicians be sitting out in the cold. It is not about which party we support, but what agenda we are supporting. UMNO, MCA, MIC, PKR, PAS DAP..... all have their racist, 'religionist' and sexist politicians. And at the same time, there are those in these parties who promote peace and understanding and fighting for human rights instead of racial rights. So, to be patriotic, we have to kick those scums out of politics and let the right people take the chair. If one day, our country go into chaos, who should we blame? The answer is OURSELVES, because we vote for the wrong people up.

To be patriotic and promote unity, first we have to start with education. Malays should be willing to give up their Matriculation colleges and take STPM together with the rest. Chinese and Indians should be willing to give up their Chinese and Tamil school system and go back to the Sekolah Kebangsaan. If we can't even give way on this matter, there is no use talking about loving this country and being 1Malaysia.

My advice - there is no 1Malaysia or patriotism in politics. Everything is just a farce. You want 1Malaysia and patriotism? Take a look at those who have special needs children, sick children in the hospital, HIV / AIDS family members, dying family members in the hospice, who are trapped in a flood or collapsed building, or dying in a pandemic. In these cases, you only have all who are in the SAME BOAT, no colour, no race, no religion. It is in times of difficulties, people see beyond their skin colour and the God they are worshipping. Everyone extends a hand to you and comfort comes from all. We help without motives and without hidden agenda. Everyone is bound together in the name of humanity. This is when you have 1Malaysia and patriotism.

To Go or Not to Go / To Be or Not to Be

So sad......
That 6 year old boy in BP who has H1N1 has died......
The family must really be grieving now..........
Although sad cases happen everywhere, every day and at any time, to have something happening near us can be so devastating.........
Vic, RIP......

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Having the symptoms of H1N1, yet going to work at the same time seems dangerous, selfish and stupid.......
Yet, to follow the Health Ministry's advice of staying at home...............I will have to stay at home for 2 weeks or more..................
Should I go to work or not?
If I really have H1N1 and spread to others, I will really be cursed by people all around.........
Yet if I don't have it, and choose to stay at home, I will be labelled 'opportunistic' and lazy.......
To go or not to go...........
To be or not to be.......

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dazzling neons lights
Waving their hands to me
Beyond my grasp
Beyond my means
Yet if I try and catch the lights
There might be a chance
For I may survive......

Yet I try to reach out
Treading very carefully
For I know just one wrong step
There might be no turning back......

To go or not to go.............
To be or not to be......

走过的。。有人陪比较好。。。

病还是没好。。。。。
很辛苦,因为有好多事需要做,但却无能为力。。。。

听说 BP 有位小孩患上了 H1N1,情况危急。。。。
还是我朋友的学生。。。。。。。。。。

这个病真的越来越猖狂。。。。
有时还真怀疑是不是某间 pharmaceutical company 故意制造这细菌,好让他们多捞一笔。。。。
马来西亚已经 8 个人死了。。。。。。
接下来又会是谁呢?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Kim, Pin & Fa, 谢谢你们为了我特地从日本运进了一只正版 Doraemon。
好喜欢。。。。。。。。我的 Doraemon 礼物都是你们送的。。。。。
看到 Doraemon,就会很自然的想起你们。。。。。。。。。。
很感动。。。。。谢谢。。。。。。。。。
Pin 谢谢你的柠檬蜜糖水。。。。。。
每次生病都得到你的关怀。。。。。。。。让我觉得不会体贴朋友的我非常惭愧。。。。。
Kim,谢谢你带我去看医生。。。。。
身边不需太多的朋友。。。。。两三个真心的就足够了。。。。。。。

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

妈妈的爱是最纯,最真。。。。。。
这果然一点都没错。。。。。。。。。
因为我妈就是那么的棒。。。。。。。。

不用自己煮饭,洗衣,做家务的我。。。。。。
比起任何一个人,我是多么的幸福。。。。。。
就连早上水壶的水都是妈妈准备的。。。。。
去哪里找一个这样的妈。。。。。
找不到了。。。。绝种了。。。。。唯独我妈。。。。。。

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

不喜欢你那张“走过的”。。。。。
感觉很寂寞,孤独。。。。。。。
把一双脚改成两双,那该有多好。。。。。。。
看到桥尾好像看不到希望。。。。。
有点很悲的感觉。。。。。。。

An Update of My Latest Will..........

Jika anda :
  • Demam

Disertai dengan salah satu:
  • Sakit Kepala
  • Sakit Badan
  • Sesak Nafas
  • Batuk
Anda Mungkin Menghidapi H1N1

Sounds exactly like me...................
But I hope not................
No energy today......... all sapped away by my illness...............
Hope it's not H1N1................... and yet it's possible..................
Thinking back, I have had many contacts with those who return from overseas................
I HOPE NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The doctor gave me some antibiotics..................
If it's not H1N1, I will be healed soon........................
If it's H1N1, be prepared to attend my funeral soon................
A person like me who has pneumonia before, with weak lungs, with a weak immune system..........
Sounds like a wonderful target for this virus....................

The thought of death seems terrifying......................
Yet I keep thinking of it.........................
I'm actually not worried of dying, just the way of how I would die..............
It is my wish if one day I die, it would be in my sleep without me knowing............Slipping, drifting away...................in peace....................
No horrifying moments.....................

Everytime I'm sick, I start thinking of all these.................... Guess my pneumonia experience in the hospital sparked off this kind of pessimistic thinking.........................

Better write something here for my dear mum, in case I really just go off...................... Need to let her know what I think, coz everytime I bring up this topic, she will just stop me and pretend not to understand what I say...................

Dear Mum,

If I really do go off earlier than you, do not be too sad. Follow what I write here, then I will be able to go in peace:

  • Please, please donate whatever organs that I have. Do not hesitate because I have already pledged my organs a few years ago. This is the best thing that can happen to me if I really die. (Many do not know that even though they have pledged their organs, their family is still the one to decide and can say no!)
  • Any money that can be found which is not in my bank account, please pass to Alan. He will know what to do with it. They are not mine................but my dear trainees. Any extra, Alan, please just throw it into the JTC fund.
  • Do not bury my body..................cremate it..................... I really hate the idea of my body rotting away in the soil. Then, scatter my ashes in the sea, which is my favourite place.......
  • My favourite collection of CDs - distribute to sis and bro
  • My favourite collection of books - give it to any organization which wants to start a library for the community
  • My favourite collection of earrings - keep them as decoration
  • My piano - pass to sis
  • My car - pass to bro.
  • My pc and handphones - for you to use
  • My exercise machine - pass to bro.
  • Take RM10,000 from my account and donate straight to PPIA in remembrance of me........
  • Take another RM2000 and donate it to Malaysian AIDS Council.
  • Another RM2000 goes to Malaysian CARE.
  • The rest of the sum from my bank account - find a home that house HIV/AIDS kids and donate to them. Make sure their accounts are transparent before donating to them..........
  • My insurance payout, EPF distribute among you, sis and bro.
After writing this, I feel better in case I really just go off...................
At least, I know you all will ask my mum to read this before she decides on anything.

加油!

好忙的一段时间。。。。。
忽略了我这个天地。。。。。
但这一次的忙是快乐的。。。。虽然身体疲惫,但精神却是无比的爽快。。。。。
这一年也已经过了一半,没有一刻是让我觉得我在浪费我的时间。。。。。。
2009 应该是我这一生最有意义的一年。。。。。。
抛开了所有 2008 的不愉快,创造了2009 的愉快。。。。。
这些都要感谢上帝所恩赐的一切。。。。。。。Jeslyn, 继续加油喔!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

很感叹,因为这一年虽然是我生活的高峰,但却是你的谷底。。。。。
真的是束手无策。。。。。只能把我的耳朵,时间,精神借给你,其余的你得自己想办法。。。。。
真希望你等待的答案在不久的时候会出现。。。。。
你经历过的我也曾经历过,但你的是“单伤”,而我却是说不出的“双伤”。。。。。
庆幸的是上帝在不到一年的时间就给了我我所等待的答案和解脱。。。。。。
我也开始学会不要质疑上帝的话,而是去服从,顺从。。。。。叛逆有时是要付出代价的。。。。
你寻找了两年,但答案还是没出现。。。。。
我只能说。。。。上帝会在对的时间开一条路给你。。。。。虽然不清楚何时,但却会为你祷告着。。。。。。此刻会到来的。。。。。
到时你也会看到 why you are not an accident, and why your life should be a purpose driven life.....

加油喔!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

你要到台湾留学了。。。。。哲学本来就是你的梦想。。。。。替你开心!
谢谢你让我在大学生涯里看到光芒。。。。
在我最孤独,失落,无助的第一个月。。。。你伸出了双手扶我一把。。。。。
当我觉得我们小组的男生很可恶时,你让我改观。。。。
当我觉得很想放弃直接回家,你的扶持让我继续留下。。。。。
你也许觉得那只是简单和顺便的帮忙而已,但对我而言你那时就好像我的救生圈。。。。

谢谢你让我决定留下在马大。。。。。
谢谢你帮我登记 tutorial。。。。。。
谢谢你上课时和我一起坐。。。。。。让我不觉得寂寞。。。。。
谢谢你和我一起看戏喝茶。。。。。
谢谢你帮我庆祝生日。。。。。。
谢谢你让我有一组那么棒的朋友。。。。。没有你我就不会认识 Ah Lu 和 PingYeen。。。。
谢谢你为我介绍第一份翻译的工作。。。。。
谢谢你让我觉得人生有希望。。。。。。

Thx for everything Yee Chen........ Wish you all the best in your Masters! 加油喔!

4-in-One Coffee

虽然不知你烦什么,或为了什么心情不好,但我依然会给你我的时间。。。。。就算累了一整天,你的要求我还是一定会答应。。。。。如果这样子会让你心情好些,再辛苦也无所谓。。。。

————————————————————————————

不知道你指的是谁,但希望为难的人不是你。。。。。。。很好奇令人为难的又是谁,也有自己的猜测,但却希望自己的猜测是错的。。。。。。。心里其实也有些渴望另一个猜测才是对的。。。。。

————————————————————————————

我的建议不知你会不会接受。。。。。。但如果我在你心里有那么一点的重要,我相信你会做。。。。。时间可以证明一切。。。。。。也许事情需要回到原点。。。。。。才会看到终点。。。。。。。

————————————————————————————
虽然现在的你很成熟,但你终究还是不明白。。。。。难道我这一个小小的希望都不能成真吗?你这个提议并不是第一次。。。。而是很多次。。。。。。我做不到,也不会为任何人做到。。。。这一步不管发生什么事,我都绝对不会走。。。。。

Sick of Crazy People............

This world is full of crazy people...... and my life is one of those 被他们这些人围绕着的。。。。。

Dunno whether I'm plain unlucky or just damn so lucky.................

Unlucky because I got 2 crazy neighbours, got a crazy trainee and a crazy parent (of that crazy trainee). Just when my crazy neighbours start to tone down, and my blood pressure starts to go down, come this crazy trainee plus that crazy mother of hers to make my blood pressure shoot up again..........

Lucky because I get to train my patience and next time I'm going to earn big money by writing about my experiences.................. (hopefully by that time I still get to retain my sanity).

Anyway, thanks to that crazy trainee and that crazy mother of hers, I get my interest back in this blog and start writing again...................

Frankly speaking, I have not even one cent of sympathy for them............... Should anything happen to them, I won't even shed a tear for them.................. Thanks to people like them, my heart has harden and never will I simply sympathize with people like them again........




赶紧走出我的生活
让我的日子更好过
因为你门我的心已封锁
为了避免我的心脏变得更软弱


像你们这种人
永远只有‘我我我’
从来没有为别人想过


就算你们跌进油锅
也是你们自己的错
世界上有你们这种人不是福而是祸

Happy Birthday Sis!

My dearest sis, happy birthday to you!

You are my dearest sis

For no one can replace you
For you are so kind and understanding

Always praying for your happiness
Your success in your career
And that everything will go smoothly for you

Billions and millions of dollars will not make me give up on you
Gold and silver cannot tempt me to replace you
For you are the only sis for me, now and forever

Jus wan to tel you how much I love you............................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I shudder to think if Mum did not give birth to you..................
If I am just the only child......................
Then I don't think I will be so happy today...............................

I am really blessed to have a sis like you.................

The Coloured Side...................

Seriously considering of furthering my studies................
But first, I have to be sure I am able to give up the many so-called important things in my life..............


The dark side - - -
My PPS, my night outings to "latte", my frequent spending trips to Popular, my existing $$$$$, my extra $$$$$, my zzzzzz...... time, my whatever expensive cuisine (coz I won't have much $ left......), my blogging time and many many more.....................................


On the bright side,
I don't have to worry about:
  • a husband with no one to cook for him (in any case, I don't even know how to cook a pot of rice!)
  • a kid with no mummy to read stories to (frankly speaking, I'm not interested in happily forever after fairy tales!)
  • a parent to take care of (it's my mum who's the one taking care of me all the while anyway!)
  • leaving a maid behind who will seduce my man behind my back (I can't afford a maid anyhow, & there's no man anyway!)

On the gray side,

If I really decide to further my studies, I'm going to ask PPIA to sponsor me. Then, I will go into a lifelong agreement with them:

I, Jeslyn Chan Ye Hwee take you PPIA to be my partner to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.

On the rainbow side,

After getting the money and finishing my studies, I will start praying:

Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank you for blessing me with the chance to further my studies. Here I pray that with your divine intervention, please do send to me a rich knight in shining armour to repay the debts of this damsel in distress and rescue her from the bondage of being indebted to this organization.

In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

Let the apples be................

Clearing my phone list in my hp this morn................. Came across a name :Tay Swee Heng............
One of the nice guys that I got to know in the uni. Staying in the same residential college with so many ****ing guys, he was one of the few that knew how to respect us of the opposite sex, without being hypocritical.

Texted him, though I was prepared that he might have changed his number...................

Ha! Not even 5 minutes I got a reply. It was him! Oh yeah, he still remembered me! Glad to know he's doing well in his hometown in Malacca, helping his father out in his business. Really hope that this guy will be successful in his life, coz he is really one of the most decent guys out there left in this world.

Not long ago, I also came across an online article, where I saw another senior of mine operating a pharmacy in Malacca too. Another pretty nice guy, whom I managed to keep tumpanging his car during my years in uni. Happy for him too that he is now successful................... Kambate!

Zia......Sowelu.....

For those of you interested in Japanese and Korean songs, try listening to these 2 albums..............

Zia (Korean) and Sowelu's (Japanese) voices are amazing and the songs are really, really nice......................

I have been listening to their songs, especially Zia's non-stop this week.................


There is not even 1 song that I don't like in this album........................
All are A-rated, and if this album reaches our Malaysia shore, I will definitely go and get one, even if it is going to cost more than RM100...............

The songs in this album:
01 Yet
02 Feel Like Exploding
03 Love Point
04 (feat. Jang Geunee)
05 Crazy With Love
06 Breaking Up With a Text
07 Words I Can’t Send
08 Yet Piano Ver
09 Crazy With Love Piano Ver


Sowelu is another under-rated singer in Japan, compared to other more popular female singers there........ However, her songs are really nice, including those that she attempts in English........ Try listening to it, and you will understand why I prefer to go for her songs, instead of Ayumi Hamasaki..........................

Somebody Said A Prayer...........

This song is by Billy Ray Cyrus, in his Back To Tennessee album, and though I don't quite like the melody at first, the words are very touching to the soul and it just hits you right on the head, reminding you how a simple prayer for someone can change things and events. Listening to it a few more times, I began to love the melody too................. Guess I was influenced by the lyrics.

Sometimes when things turn bad, we begin to question God why. But how many times do we really go on our knees to pray........................ Something for us to ponder about................

Anyone interested can go to youtube and watch the video........ It's touching........, especially the part where the little son began to pray for the whole family...................
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48U6TRKzMIs&feature=related

Somebody Said A Prayer

Just a single mom
Raising up the kids
Little Tommy's seven now
And her daughter Justine just turned ten
Pinching every cent
Laughing and loving and content
You would never think
A couple years ago
She almost let her job
Her kids, her mind, her life go up in smoke
Right there on the edge
Right before the fall

Chorus:
Somebody said a prayer
Somebody had some faith
Somebody finally hit their knees
And asked for help for heavens sake
Somebody finally found
Someone who really cares
Somebody said a prayer

He was seventeen
And his heart was broke
The middle of the night
A bottle full of pills
And a goodbye note
Sitting on his bed
But then he bowed his head
Now I see him every week
And every now and then
He talks about that night
And the peace that came over him
Talk about a sign
Can I get an amen
Well there were tears on his face
He said look what happened lord

Chorus:
Somebody said a prayer
Somebody had some faith
Somebody finally hit their knees
And asked for help for heavens sake
Somebody finally found
Someone who really cares
Somebody said a prayer

Can I get an amen
Ohhhhhhhh
Can I get an amen
Ohhhhhhhhhh
Somebody
Somebody said a prayer
Somebody said a prayer
Somebody
Somebody said a prayer

Sorry......sincerely

I'm so sorry that I shared out your story with them. I really did not know that you would mind it so much. I thought that you would not mind as you have shared it before.

Thousands of apologies from me and I won't repeat the same mistake again.

Sincerely from your best friend.

不是大学生的。。。。

虽然是个大学生,也察觉出大学生和非大学生思想的差别。。。。
虽然得承认大学文凭是个快速公路,也非常值钱。。。。
虽然曾经已踏上大学生涯的路。。。。
虽然曾经有实力因没文凭,而没被认可。。。薪水也比别人少得可怜。。。。

但依然。。。。
坚持相信不是大学生的也能做大事。。。。
坚持相信不是大学生的也能闯出一片蓝天。。。。
坚持相信不是大学生的也能做出正面的改革。。。。
坚持相信不是大学生的也能做得非常出众。。。。
坚持相信不是大学生的也能比大学生更加成功。。。。。

我已经没办法证明。。。。
因为我当时没机会。。。。最终被有文凭的人压死了。。。。
因为我最终还是上了大学。。。。。。
就等你去证明吧。。。。。。。。

不后悔的日记

不要后悔走过的小巷
不要后悔攀过的高山
不要后悔跌进的谷底
不要后悔越过的森林


生命的笔画虽然不多
但生命的故事范围却是如此的宽阔
填不完的日记期待着主人的来临
为翻阅不完的一页
刻上丑陋的字体
也添上美丽的字迹
留下最刻苦铭心的回忆

生命。。。。

生命只有那么一条路
没有得后退
没有得U-转

生命只有将会
没有如果能重来,
没有假设再来一次

生命只有继续
要不然就终止
没有得暂停

生没得选择

Wonderful............

Went shopping with mum today............. Syok, man.... spent until more than RM600.00. Anyway, got a love gift of RM300 this year, so can spend, spend, spend....... Of course, compare to people who have 1 month or few months of bonus, this is nothing........., but to me it is a surprise bonus!!! Had a wonderful time with mum, but she was more on being my escort......... haha! I was the one trying, buying, trying, buying............

Yesterday night dreamt of my dear dad.............. the whole dream was so real, we were holidaying on an island.............. eating ice-cream, walking on the bridge................ talking to strangers....................... WEll, dad, do come into my dreams more often.................... REally miss you so much..........................

Mum's birthday coming soon..................... 2 more days......................... going to be 63.................. anyway she looks like only 55.....................................

March is here.................... What have I done in 2009? Plenty................... & I'm really glad with what I have done..................... 2009 is definitely a good year for me.................... Hope this continues............. A new change, a new beginning, a new hope, a new life...................... Love it 2009..........

Jia Miem's 15th Birthday

16th January........... Jia Miem turned 15 on that day.......... Seeing this girl growing since she joined EIP when she was 6, I am very happy to see her turning into a confident and independent girl...........

Her parents kindly prepared fried mee, bi kueh & soon kueh for her party, and all of her friends chipped in to buy a birthday cake for her.................. She was really happy that day, beaming non-stop.......................

Well, don't ever look down on her.................. She cooks maggi mee herself, cooks rice for the whole family, sweeps and mops the floor independently........... and can do many many more things.

She knows how to fill in her personal details in a form, count money, tell you the time, read simple story books, weigh things using a weighing scale, tie her own shoelaces and run 400m in 3 minutes and 30 seconds....................

She helps her mother at the liang teh (herbal tea) stall, washing 4 cups in a go with 1 hand only......... She knows how to serve customers, get ready the liang teh for them and she is a great eater too! Her parents dote on her and will buy any food that she likes for her to eat..........

She is also an avid fan of horror movies.......... She can watch them without closing her eyes at all......., she is braver than me! She is a fan of 周杰伦 (Jay Chou) and can sing quite a number of his songs............

She is very popular with the guys in the centre too........ hehe....... more popular than me...... Gavin is always making sure that she is never short of anything......... taking care of her needs...... Hiap Kai really likes her and blushes whenever we talk about her..........

She is a wonderful girl and has given many surprises to her family........

Ten years ago, her mum said that she was stupid, not being able to read or write..........

SHE PROVED HER WRONG!

Six years ago, her mum did not believe that she would be able to handle her menses properly.......
SHE PROVED HER WRONG!

Five years ago, her mum did not believe that she would be able to cook................
SHE PROVED HER WRONG!

A few months ago, her mum did not believe that she would be able to understand what is BGR (boy girl relationship) in her whole life............

SHE PROVED HER WRONG!

Now, her mum does not believe that she would be able to find a permanent job to earn money for herself.........................

SHE IS GOING TO PROVE HER WRONG AGAIN!

yES, jIA mIEM, wE kNOW yOU cAN!

新年的第一个自言自语。。。。。。

新的一年又到了。。。又要面对新的挑战。。。。
有些人说,新的一年不是很好,因为又老了。。。。
但我却觉得新的一年真好。。。。因为能够抛掉一切的不好,重新出发。。。。。

做过的错误,不会再重犯,
失去的机会,不会再放过,
珍惜的一切,不会再松手,
讨厌的一切,不会再多看。

To me, everyday is a new start.................... a new beginning.................. a new chance............
The future is uncertain..............unpredictable...................unimaginable......................
The past is history..........................artefact.......................antique.........................
The "present" is what you want it to be......................................

“友”你们真好。。。。

好久没来了。。。

能为你们两位庆祝生日,的却很开心。。。。。。虽然迟了一点,但却是真心的祝福。。。不擅长记得日期的我,总是过了,才会记起。。。。。这点就要身边的你们包容了。。。。。

那晚的晚餐确实非常难忘。。。。五个人这么一聚,还在一个已经没人的餐厅了。。。真的是特别又有趣。。。愿我们的友情能继续维持下去。。。。不管以后发生什么事,或者有可能这段友谊在未来的某一天会变质,但现在的友谊我一定会珍惜,也是最美的。。。。。



该读书的也回到自己的岗位做好自己的本份了。。。。

谢谢你们俩那么热心和努力的协助我们。。。。你们几乎整个假期都献给了JTC。希望你们会继续维持着这一份热情。。。。很期待在下一个假期能够看到你们。。。。。
