It's feels like kids again with puppy love + sisterhood + sec skool frenship

Monday v went movie again. This time v watch 3D How to train your dragon. D animation & graphic is great but d story line is ok lar. There r a few parts it's really funny. But I still think Avatar, being my 1st 3D movie is d best. I'm waiting for 3D Alice in Wonderland this weekend for comparison.

Previously v watch Green Zone @ TGV Cheras Selatan n it was f**king cold. This time he brought a jacket for me but v decided 2 leave it in d car coz I brought shawl. It wasn't cold but once in awhile he will check if my hands have any goosebumps. There will b times he squeezes my hands @ certain touching scenes. Out from the cinema v r walking like usual. He will try to put his hands on my shoulders n when I complaint it's heavy, he will move it 2 my waist, which is very weird coz it jz feels weird.

In car, he wanna try 2 hold my hands again but bcoz I was talking and gesturing, he missed my hands. But when I lean my head on his shoulder, he catches my hands again. My heart skipped a beat. I dunno y, v used 2 stand close n hugged briefly b4 but I've never had such feeling. I wonder how he feel?

Bee Ling & I used 2 b very close when v were young. I used 2 tell her all my secrets. Even now v dun share as much secrets, but I think v r still consider close. I love her kids (Cecilia + Daniel) as if they r mine. I remember long time ago she had an Indian bf n they brought me 2 Hard Rock Cafe. I still wonder how I can get in when I was underage. I also used 2 steal use her stuff (ie make ups etc) without telling her n was so afraid when I spoilt it. There r also times when she punished me 2 "gwai dei zhi kung" like squatting in front of d praying table but I forgot liao wat was my mistake. Last week, I asked Daniel can I punish u like tat? He said he's scared n dun like it. D deepest memories wud b she knock my hand when she train me 2 write my mandarin name. kekeke Although I dun share secrets wit her anymore but I still consider v r close n good. I love our family bonding time 2gether. She's my 1 n oni sis n I love her.

Last Sun I was at Summit USJ for Angel Tng Siew Wai's wedding dinner. I was alone, I dinno anybody until Andy Mervin show up. In tat table of 10, v oni know each other, wondering y she never invited other skool mates. Andy & I tokked about some of our skool frens. I consider myself lucky coz I m still closely in contact wit not oni 1 but 2 gangs of sec skool frens. 1st gang is d gang tat went 2 HK trip 2gether (including those who din go HK this gang: Carine, Cath, Chris, Tracy, Lau Kam, Heng + Lai), 2nd gang is St John's gang (including some not from our skool: Ma Tze Lung + Ying, Choon Meng + Rachael, Kean Seng + Rain, Jeffrey + Amily, Ming & Ken). V have been frens for so long n all these years v r close. I truly appreciate our frenships.

A young volunteer at a local hospital was allowed to leave for home after her shift ended.

She took her time wandering around the hospital, passing by one ward after another and greeting each patient she meets on the way. She stopped by at one of the vending machines to get a soda, and was just about to enter the lift when her eyes landed on an old couple in one of the hospital wards. The man was sitting in a chair, and he was holding his wife’s hand on the bed, gripping it like he was never going to let go, while his other hand was holding an open book.

Out of curiosity, the young volunteer edged closer to the room. Her heart ached at the sight of the wife, who looked pale and powerless, yet her lips were tilted upwards, and she eventually broke out into a quiet sort of laughter when her husband said something. It took the young volunteer only a heartbeat to realize that the old man was reading a story to his wife, his voice full of animation and emotions that reminded her of her late father. She smiled and leaned against the back of the door, thinking that it probably wouldn’t hurt to stay for just a little while more.

When Bill finally read the last words from the page and puts the book back on the table, Emma stroked his hands softly with her thumb, “That was great, love. You are the best story teller I’ve ever seen.”

He chuckled and pressed an affectionate kiss to her forehead, “Honey, I’m the only story teller you’ve ever met.”

“And I’d have it no other way.”

“I know.”

They shared a long stare, his blue eyes melting her brown orbs, and for a few minutes they allowed silence to embrace them.

He was the first one to speak, “You’re going to be just fine, Emmy. The doctor said so.”

She rolled her eyes even though he told her not to do that; rolling it would only make her dizzy.

Very true.

“Bullshit, Bill.” She mumbled, calling his bluff.

He smiled, his wrinkles telling the world his age and worries. He hasn’t been sleeping well for the past few days; it was starting to take a toll on him. She held his hand tightly, or at least as tight as she could manage. Her eyes were fixed on the love of her life, her man, her friend, her sweet, sweet lullaby.

“I’m leaving soon, Bill.” She whispered, her eyes filling up with tears once more. She hated saying this to him, hated hurting him this way, hated the idea of having to leave.

He shook his head, “I’m not letting you.”

“You don’t have a choice. I don’t get another chance to live.” She argued, her voice quivering with each syllable. Her hands were shaking, so were his. “Sweetheart, sometimes people just… run out of chances.”

“Don’t say that.”

“It’s the truth.”

“Then let’s run away from the truth for a while.” He wiped away his tears, and then pressed a thumb on the side of her eyes to stop hers. He repeated again, with a reassuring smile, “You’re gonna be alright, baby. You’re gonna be just fine.”

It felt more like he was trying to convince himself.

“Mm.” She played along, too tired to argue further. Then, she looked up at him and said, “Promise you won’t waste your last years missing me when I’m gone, Bill?”

Bill smiled, “Sure. Promise you won’t blame me when I break it?”

That made her laugh.

“I love you, Bill. I love you so, so much.” She murmured, her hands reaching up to cup his face for a moment before she lost her strength and had to lie still again. When she regained that bit of strength she patted his chest, “Just know that whenever you need me, I’ll always be right here. I’ll be listening. Now and always.”

He kissed her lips, too overwhelmed with emotions to speak. He didn’t have to, anyway. They both knew what he wanted to say.

“I love you. I love you with every breathe I take.”

But what they didn’t know was the fact that at that exact moment, a young lady, who has been listening to their conversation for the past hour behind the door, was busy rummaging through her backpack for that damned packet of tissues.

I gotta steel share this from JYHLing coz it's really touching.

Hong Kong and Macau

It has been awhile since I last blogged. I jz came bak from Hong Kong and totally love Hong Kong Disneyland. The week b4 I start Hong Kong trip, I was really bz wit work + Uncle Vincent & Aunty Sunny was in Msia (I brought them to Lookout Point and they totally love it) + tonnes of work for YB & DI's training @ OPSOC, Singapore.

I got lots 2 blog about but being d forgetful me, this will oni b summary of wat's actually happened.

Well, Uncle Vincent + Aunty Sunny was here from Sydney. Mom & them went visiting n shopping but last Mon nite, I drove mom + grandma + Uncle Vincent + Aunty Sunny to Lookout Point. Grandma was really sporting & I hope she enjoyed herself. Tues they went 2 Penang and I start packing to go to Hong Kong on Wed.

Lau Kam fetch me ard 3.00am and then Tracy & v waited for Carine + Lai @ his hse. Lai was really nice as he drove us 2 airport & fetch us from airport on Sunday nite.

It was ard lunch time v reach Hong Kong n loaded all our luggages @ Lee's room. He's such a gentleman by coming down 2 d hotel lobby 2 greet us n help us wit our luggages. After lunch wit Lee, v went 2 Macau by ferry. V checked in into Venetian, d room was really grand n nice. D toilet itself is already bigger than our Harbour Hotel, Hong Kong hotel room. V r very lucky coz Lau Kam won some monie @ Venetian, Macau's casino so he asked us not 2 pay him d room rental. V had portugese meal as dinner but it was f**king expensive n not so nice. V did try some new things like a salted but fresh codfish called "mar kah yau" aka bacalhau n some cheese ciken and crabs n drumstick of a piglet. Then v went 2 Ruins of St. Paul, usually known as "Great Sanba Archway" or "tai san ba". V took some pixs. V also ate the local famous milk steam egg puding. It was extremely cold n all 3 of us r wrapped in jackets n shawl but poor lau kam he's oni in normal short sleeves t-shirt.

Thurs afternoon jz b4 v check out from Venetian, Cath + Edwin + Seng came 2 visit our grand hotel room. kekeke V went window shopping @ Venetian's Grand Cannal Shoppes and Four Seasons (a very luxurious, all branded shoppes). I bot some Naraya bags for d gals. After making payments then oni I notice tat they r originated n manufactured @ Thailand, which is extremely stupid bcoz I'll b goin 2 BKK in July. FML. V went bak 2 tai san ba with Cath + Edwin + Seng n took some pixs but d Great Sanba Archway is differ in d nite n day time. V ate some pork pau n portugese tarts then v leave for Hong Kong.

V reach Hong Kong 2 check in into our hotel n went 2 watch the symphony of lights aka d world's largest permanent light and sound show at 8pm. The building of both sides of d Victoria Harbour will b lite up in differ colors as if they r dancing in accordance to the music. It was really amazing and I wondered how all d buildings (ard 40 buildings from both side of d Victoria Harbour) communicate and synchronise this great performance. It is a must c n I'm glad v went 2 this FOC show although it was freaking cold.

After d show, v went 2 Avenue of Stars aka d "Sing Kwong Dai Tou" wit lotsa hand prints of famous stars. V took some funny pixs esp @ d Bruce Lee statue. Photoes will b loaded once I got it from Carine. Then v had steamboat buffet. After tat, v went 2 a few floors above 2 club wit Lee + Yi Chian + Don + Coey Hong Kong's frens. Their clubs/pubs r a bit differ than ours. They pay entre fee of HKD100++ n they get free flow. I rugi a bit here coz I know if I were drunk, d next day will b hell for me n it's scheduled 2 b Disneyland n i dun wan it 2 suck. Unfortunately, Carine got drunk. kekeke usually she's a great drinker but imagine her drinking a shoort called "laughing gor" mix wit Hoegaarden mix wit "wai luk" aka whiskey + green tea mix wit "wai sui" (like very geng name, kekeke) aka whiskey + water, no wonder she's drunk n make us change our plan from Disneyland 2 Tung Chung building aka d branded outlet mall. Half way thru clubbing, Lau Kam + me went 4 foot massage coz I have no idea how I hurt my ankle but it was in extremely pain condition. It's about HKD100 for 50mins per person. After d massage, v saw a Lamborghini in yellow wit car plate GAMES. cute hor. v took pix. kekeke

Fri: V din went 2 Disneyland as scheduled coz v were all tired n wake up late + Carine was drunk :P. V went 2 Tung Chung, a branded outlet's mall where all d branded r on sales n very cheap. Carine + I bot myself a Armani Exchange jacket at HKD150. Tracy + Carine bot Coach bags @ HKD1900 which cost them RM2400++ if they were 2 buy d same thing @ KL. It's a great bargain but I'm jz not @ tat level. Sam tung ar if buy so expensive. Oh, earlier I bot a pair of Puma sports shoes near our hotel. Their streets' name r funny. something like sai yeong choy road (jz like in d movie 72 tenants) and se yau kai kekeke aka soy sauce. kekeke. After Tung Chung, v went 2 The Peak Trem. V took d cable car/trem up n went into Madame Tussauds's Wax Museum. V took numerous funny pix of those wax ppl n laffed ourself crazy, oh, I get 2 kiss Andy Lau here n molested Nicole Kidman. V had Bubba Gump n it was really nice.

Sat: Finally after breakfast, v took trains to Disneyland. They even have their own trains which is extremely cute wit mickey's shape's windows. I bot a Mickey t-shirt for him n a Minnie t-shirt for myself, hoping this will b our couple t-shirt. Clothes for Cecilia and Daniel, puzzle key chain for mom, a cute Stitch's hand/glove key chain for May n a Mickey's couple handphone tag for Amanda. Things r VERY EXPENSIVE so I din buy a lot. Then v had fun watching d show n parade. There's a 4D theather n it's really funny. Unlike 3D where u can hear n see n feel like touching it, wit 4D, u can smell it n u feel d wind/breeze as well. It's really nice n I'm hoping 2 bring Cecilia + Daniel here 1 day. kekeke There's also this adventurous space ride where v ride it twice. D 2nd time, Lau Kam + I pose for d flash/camera but Carine dinno about it. She's so blur. Anyway, even if she posed, she knot b seen coz she's covered by Lau Kam's big size. kekeke

After Disneyland, v went bak 2 meet Lee + Yi Chian, had dinner 2gether wit Lee's HK fren. Carine followed them 2 sing karaoke, took pix n show us tat their k room is extremely small. kekeke meanwhile, v went bak 2 our hotel room 2 pack. Tracy chated wit me while I try 2 pak my things till 1.30am.

Sun: Morning after breakfast, v walked around those lui yan kai, boh hai kai etc, did some last min shopping n gather bak @ hotel wit Lee + his mom + his sis + his sis's fren + Yi Chian + her parents, waiting for taxi 2 bring us 2 airport. @ airport v did some last last min shopping @ levis. I shud have bot tat jeans, really regret I din. Look for Ken's magazine (no, it's not porn) but unfortunately din find it. Reach KL, waited for Lai 2 fetch us, dinner, raining n reach home. Unpack those dirty clothes for mom 2 wash, zzz. I know, I'm lucky. I love her 2.

Mon: went out movie wit him. Watched d boring Green Zone. It was very cold in d cinema n he holds my hands. It seems ok, mayb bcoz it was dark in d cinema, I knot imagine any intimate moments wit him but there r also times when he makes my heart skip a beat.

Tue: Winsen came treat me dinner but no souvenir from Bali, oni silly jokes. I bot him a pink Bossini polo tee he asked me dun buy him anymore clothes, he got more than he can wear. :P

Great trip esp wit so many frens 2gether. Oni unlucky is my poor ankle now still pain. Can't wait 2 look @ those pix n laff myself crazy.

Feb babies bday celebrations + Genting Highland CNY 2010

Last Thurs nite, many of us gather @ Carine hse 2 celebrate February - born -  babies bday celebration which is mine on 12th, KC's on 25th n Carine's on 26th.

February babies

Gal's pix + Group pix

On Fri after lunch, Brenda, Pauline + Cason, Catherine, Carine + Lai, Lau Kam and myself went 2 Genting Highlands. It has been ages since I last went 2 Genting. When v were schooling, v alwaz planned trips 2 Genting 2gether. It was a good idea bcoz it was damn hot in KL but unfortunately I wasn't feeling so well thus I vomited on d way up (Sorry Cason) and feeling like wanna vomit again on d way down (Sorry Lau Kam). I've long known tat I will feel dizzy goin up n down all those turnings @ Genting + Cameron but this time I felt really bad. My head is spinning and I can't even talk. Sorry guys if I spoilt ur trip.

Reached d peak, v went 2 Coffee Bean n all of us ordered ice blended. Hong (who was there wit his family) came 2 join us for a drink. He got some casino chips worth RM500 and RM100. Most of us who never see those b4 took some funny pixs. Best awards goes 2 Pauline, whom initial idea is 2 cover her eyes wit it but I can't find tat pix. kekeke

 

After tat, Brenda, Cath, Carine + prawn went shopping while d guys + Pauline tried their luck @ casino. V took so many pixs wit Carine's camera and I bot a pair of shoes + a pair of earings there. It's really cute, white high heals wit a small blue ribbon and a love pendant in front. The earings are red ribbons.

When v were leaving Genting for dinner @ Janda Baik, I kept on saying sorry 2 Lau Kam, genuinely feeling embarrassing for all d trouble tat he gotta drive slower than his usual speed n also bcoz he gotta stop whenever I feel like vomitting. But he said out a very direct truth (truth really hurts) tat makes me think n vow 2 b better. He said, no need so hak hey, if I'm ur bf, sure u scold me gaw gaw liao. Secretly in my heart I know wat he said is VERY TRUE. I hope in future if I get a bf, I will b nice n polite 2 him as how I treat my frens. I must keep on reminding myself tat he dun owe it 2 me 2 b good 2 me n I really gotta appreciate him. Thanks Lau Kam for tat wake up call although I really no energy 2 fight wit u. B4 this oso, Tracy Ooi + I oso discuss on this topic where she gave me such advise b4. Thanks Tracy & I hope our friendship remains long & u will alwaz remind me of this advise. Hugs!

Then v went 2 Janda Baik for a restaurant recommended by Pauline. D food there was superb and Lau Kam + Cason treat us coz they won @ casino. Yeah! Thanks, dudes!

V had:
1. 4 steam prawns wit slightly wine flavor (each of us get half of d big 生虾).
2. Ciken
3. Fish
4. Tin kai (frog)
5. Vege + crispy pork slice
6. Vege
7. Tauhu
Total is about RM250.00

       

It was a nice trip except tat I wasn't feeling 2 well.
