The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling, and even more beautiful, is knowing that you are the reason behind it (:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUDDY!!

Hope the surprise was pleasant and you enjoyed yourself! Hope you love the gift too. I love you!

Magnum.

just only the other day, i was caught in a bad crawl along Jalan Pudu and on my right was Wisma Magnum. This building looks new, standing tall amongst the other buildings there.

when i took a little time off to observe, i saw the grandprize jackpot's figure, stated with red-coloured digital figures of the entrance wall. MYR 7 xxx xxx, it reads.

other than that, i also saw quite a number of old man, definitely passed their retiring age, in their bermuda khakis shorts and short-sleeved shirts, loitering at the corridor of this building

instead of despising them as gamblers, my heart actually felt for them.

i believe, these men, they'd know the probability of hitting the jackpot prize is almost impossible. however, they'd still continue buying those tickets hoping that they'd be the lucky one hitting the jackpot.

these people, they're not exactly those that only hope that large sum of money would drop for them and do not need to work forever. these people are actually buying hopes, they're buying chance, they're buying dreams

if only they know that He's their hope.

Just like my grandpa. He buys those 4D (i think) for the past decades and he has not even won rm300. Apparently its just a game and its okay to lose. He was daydreaming the other time when i visited him and he was so excited and imagine that if he wins it, he's gonna use all the money on us (his grandchildren) who wants to study. He wants to pay for all my education and hope that i continue studying till i finish my PhD or medicine.

See, at his old age he's not hoping for more like, driving a new car or getting a bigger house or go travelling. Apparently his joy is in us.

Yeah, so this is what I mean by buying hope.

p/s: fyi i'm not condoning any gambling activities here. Just like God, He hates sins, but He loves sinners (:

He Listens.

so i whispered a little prayer..

and oh, He heard me! what a joy!

friend, i'm so proud of you! i challenge you to get well even sooner so that we can have dinner together and play badminton together k? be strong!

Being Unwell Is Part of Life.

is this the not-feeling-well season or what? so many people around me seemed to be unwell. first agnes, then buddy also.

it may be just a common cold, but i dont know why i'm super worried for buddy when she first got it. and it aches me whenever she tells me the negative progressions and how i wish i could anything for her. it may be a normal thing to fall sick once a while, but somehow this time i really prayed hard for her speedy recovery so that she could enjoy her trip and will not feel unwell. i feel so helpless but to be by her side at all time and do whatever i can, those little things.

thank God you're alot better now (:

---

today for the very first time in my life, i entered the ICU to visit a friend. and oh my, i was totally shocked and just can't accept the fact. seeing all the tubes being connected to her all over, unable to move or talk or omg, this is just sick!

my heart sank when i found out that she actually collapsed with no heart beat and pulse, and the paramedics and doctors had to resuscitate her with CPR. and even that, she was on life support for both her heart and lungs. her liver's damaged too, and her kidneys can't seemed to function well and she's temporarily on dialysis.

i literally stoned not knowing what to do or say when i met her, a friend that i could hardly recognise because of the water retention and swelling all over.

so i whispered a little prayer and i believe He is watching over her (:

Just some random updates

---

BMR status progress: not too sure.

drink lots of water -- positive

have lots of sleep -- negative (haven't been sleeping well for the past week)

chronic stress -- positive (work!!)

oh no!

(but on the other hand, i lost 2 kgs. i don't know if its the stress thing or what. not good, i need an increase metabolism rate. like, really badly!

and oh, The Cousins and i have registered for the Nike City Run this coming 10.10.10. Probably the pre-training for this run would help to increase my BMR a little more *fingers crossed*

Discipline, i really need the discipline!

---

Just bid goodbye to Quarter 3 and welcoming Quarter 4 with open arms. Thank God for His grace and favour. If not for them, I don't think I would have made it to hit the horrendous target for Q3.

Q4, I'm expecting good news from you!

---

October and November's gonna be busy busy months. Not to mention the weekends I've gotta spend with Nestle.

Nov - Diabetes Month? A.K.A more events!

Dec - yay camp!

---

Yesterday I was at Pappa Rich with Buddy. A girl actually sent a waitress to our table to pass us a note asking if we could be her friend. With phone numbers included.

Talking bout boldness act!

---

Was driving back on NKVE just now and this line kept flashing in my cerebrum: do the right thing at the right time

probably a gentle reminder.

just like how the Apostle Paul puts it, "the things that I should to do, I don't do. The things that I shouldn't do, I do." Heh, yeah somewhere along that line.

and oh, does that includes falling in love with someone at the wrong time too?

---

The Chinese Believes...

.. that after taking these,

(peanut root soup)

we'll grow taller! its like some kind of secret remedy. i had quite a few bowl back in those days but nope, i'm still me, i mean my height.

---

another belief is that when we take too much of kangkung (water spinach), we'll get cramps. apparently another name for this veg is 抽筋菜 (cramp vegetable) and its believed that one who takes this will get leg cramps at night because of its cooling element.

and yeap, i had leg cramps again this morning at 6.37am. it was so painful when the muscle pulls!

maybe the chinese may be right sometimes (:

happy 5th buddyship day.

you may caci me all you want but i still like you. thanks for being my buddy.

*tight hugs*

Boobies Insights.

I don't know how true is this la, but which insane man would like to just look/stare at boobies for 10 minutes everyday? When looking/staring, I'm imagining hands-free i.e no other activities.

Okay la, even if they want to, which wife to let them exercise for 10 mins everyday? Haha!

And oh buddy, shouldn't you be thankful that I've saved your assets. And I'm still trying to save others' ones too! (: *superman in action heh!

Blessed Tummy.

me: haha up to you :) i like you the way you are. wait no, not with hitachi :P

friend: kns

Was I really that demanding? Thanks for the drinks and food, buddy!

A Citizen's View.

Exactly 53 years ago, the word "Merdeka" was yelled 3 times and great cheers from the crowd was heard. At that time, gratefulness, thankfulness, freedom, liberty --- all these feelings were expressed and felt all at once. No more bondages, no more tortures, no more outsiders --- just us, the Malaysian, we were once one. united. the chinese-indian-malay

we ate together, we played together, we go to school and receive education together. there were no differences in colours, we were once all colour-blind and there was only one colour.

that was 53 years ago.

now, its all different. even when the song Negaraku is aired on national radio and televisions, not many would appreciate or even stand up straight to sing in respect. the feeling of thankfulness for independence, the feeling of togetherness is no longer there.. thanks to some jokers who tried pulling the races apart separating everyone into individual entities.

if only people would start to realise and to appreciate the contributions from each races for this country. if only people would start to realise how we could each play our role, stand up and be counted to lift this country up to another level, a different phase. i bet things can be changed and positive outcomes will be seen.

For greater things have yet to come, and greater things are still to be done in this city

i may not be a patriotic citizen, but deep down, my blood still belong to this country and i'm proud to say that i'm a malaysian

happy independence!

Love Doesn't Exist Without Sacrifice.

I put this line in my facebook and my boss thought why am i suddenly all emo about love. its not true la. i actually kinda grasp this line from The Last Airbender

It spoke to me right away. Whenever people mention the word love, everyone will straight away refer to the boy-girl-relationship kind of love but its not necessary just that.

And love doesn't exist without sacrifice.

Just like if Jesus hadn't loved us, He wouldn't sacrificed Himself for us on the cross 2010 years ago while we were all still sinners.

If our parents hadn't loved us, they wouldn't sacrifice their money, time and energy to nurture us, to discipline us (which we usually take it as something negative), to educate us and all. They could have spend their hard-earned money on good vacations and to buy themselves things they like but nope. They'd rather use those money to pay for our (tertiary) education and to get all the necessary money to sustain the family. They could have gotten themselves Iphone but instead they'd just do with their basic-function Nokia mobiles. With their money, they could have gotten themselves a BMW 5 series or Mercedes Benz E class but they'd just do with their Toyota Vios E series or even Proton cars. But those are their hard-earned wages and they themselves deserve the best, instead they'd use them for us

And if we hadn't loved our friend, we wouldn't drive all the way up to PJ to pick a friend up for a meal and send our friend back. We wouldn't fetch our friend to school in KL and pick her later on at night when KL city looks like a dead town filled with danger at night. We wouldn't take the extra mile to make sure they've taken their meals, or if they're safe at home and superbly don't mind getting caught in a bad traffic just to spend slightly more time with them. If we hadn't loved our friend, we wouldn't sacrifice not seeing that person or contacting that person like we usually do when their loved ones are with them and tried not to put our friend in a state of dilemma and at the same time wanting them to know that they are not forgetten and we're still here when they're caught in the love bubble. If we hadn't loved our friend, we wouldn't mind being hurt and disappointed by their acts and bear it on our own.

And of course if we hadn't loved our gf/bf, we wouldn't save all our money or to work part time just to get them something really nice like an Ipod or a watch just to see their smile. If we hadn't loved our gf/bf, we wouldn't go all miles to catch a glimpse of them from afar when its not very convenient for ourselves to appear for some reasons. If we hadn't loved our gf/bf, we wouldnt go against our parents or tried making a stand for our loved ones when parents feel otherwise.

Look, all those examples given above are examples of sacrifices -- be it money, energy, time. But if it wasn't for love, these sacrifices will carry no significance.

Should I or Should I Not?

have been quite indecisive lately.

to make a decision, one may need to consider every other factors and the possible outcomes to the decision made.

its alot easier said than done, like to follow what our hearts want or what we like etc. but the something that we like may sound like some selfish ambition kind of decision.

but whats the point of doing something that we're not keen at but just for the sake of pleasing everyone around us right?

and what about a decision thats gonna determine how our life's going to be ahead. the commitments and all.

and what i was considering this morning is, should or should not continue my degree in MBBS?

actually this question is not something sudden, it has been a burden in me for quite a while already after finding out that my Medical Science degree can be converted to MBBS and get some units exempted. alongside with encouragements from the doctors (my customers) that i meet. most of them got a little personal once they see my namecard with my stated qualification and my status currently is like im neither here nor there.

but there are alot of other factors too. like, where? which university that allows conversion? finances? how long more?

or should i just continue working like now and do just like the others and take everything as part of lives.

lately, im really in need of encouragements and motivations.

Friday the 13th. Jinx?

I was reluctant to wake up this morning and i continued snoozing the alarm. At the same time I cannot afford to be late to work 'cause I've a meeting to attend. And out of a very rare sight, dad woke me up this morning!

Saw a missed call and received a good morning text message from buddy at 6.56am. Totally made my day!

Rushed and headed off to work but left later than usual time. Proclaimed and the traffic got really smooth and either the traffic light turns green or the police wave a "go" for me for all traffic junctions. So yay!!

Arrived office on time!

Looks like Friday the 13th is not that bad after all?

Actually it depends on what belief that you hold on to. If you believe that today's gonna be a bad day, whatever you do you'll have this belief that things won't work out right and it wont work out right!

On contrary, if you believe things will be good and its gonna be a productive day, it will be!

---

Also, I was looking forward in seeing buddy after days of meeting each other and that spurs up my excitement for today even more!

And oh, Happy 4 Months, buddy!

I cannot do it alone, let's walk this buddyship together. I thank God for you. I'm looking forward for the 5th month, 6th month, x months and years to come! I know i've been quite demanding and all, thanks for bearing with me all these while and be so accommodating.

Thanks again for being my buddy! *hugs*

just saw some of the old pictures posted up by a once-used-to-be a quite close friend to me.

the pictures definitely brought back good (and bad) memories. we used to hang out together, doing things together, sharing with one another but i dont quite see that anymore. worse still, the discomfort feeling

partly its my bad. i think i really have quit putting effort in the friendship when i dont see much responses from the other party. it may be fine for the beginning, but it grew quite tiring with time. when you tried pressing on to something that may not work.

to let go or not to? was i even doing the right thing from the beginning? to move on with life or to hope that things will get back to be like before?

i guess the answer is, go with the flow. but wait, effortlessly?

Soury Food Aids in Digestion?

One of the common misconceptions by many is that eating/drinking soury food aids in digestion or can help one to lose weight ('cause digest faster).

And before I could blog this out, i just heard my buddy sharing in this same misconception too! -.-

Why would I say its not true?

High acidity food (low pH) shares in the same property as the HCl (gastric juice) in our stomach.

Functions of HCl in our stomach:

1. kill all the microorganisms in our stomach
2. provide an acidic medium for the enzymes (pepsin and rennin) in our stomach to act optimumly

So lets say we drink limau ais (soury) when we eat our maggi goreng (food), when the limau ais enters our stomach, it'll work hand-in-hand with our gastric juice to kill the microbes that we ingest in alongside when we savour our maggi goreng. Other than that, it'd also prepare an acidic medium for protein digestion to take place.

Protein digestion. Yes, thats my point! There are only 2 enzymes present in our stomach, i.e pepsin and rennin and both these enzymes only aid in the digestion of protein. So whats the protein composition in our maggi goreng? The eggs? The tofu? Nothing much i presume.

So now, tell me, how would soury food help in our digestion (talking bout digesting our maggi goreng) when only protein would benefit from it? (:

And oh, I mentioned only digestion in our stomach 'cause digestions in other parts of our gastrointestinal tract (duodenum, pancreas, ileum etc) all tak boleh work optimumly with low pH one. The digestive enzymes in those areas work in their very own optimum pH (pH7-8) or alkaline. Stomach is the only GIT part that works well with acidic medium

Just something to ponder upon (:

BMR update #1.

Buddy kept asking me what's my progress for my increase-in-BMR-mission. I'm not sure if she's really really concerned bout my progress or she just has nothing to say/ask me for those point of time. Its not something immediate and the results will not be so evident in such short period of time la. Today's just like the Day 3 or so? Give me 3 months buddy!

Anyway I was reading yesterday while waiting for someone, and I found out the 3 culprits to my lowered BMR now!

1. (chronic) stress
2. lack of sleep
3. lack of fluid (H₂O)

gone la, gone!

looks like if i really aim to succeed, i guess i really need to kick some bad habit away mannn~

Bad Memory?

I remember vividly that when i was in form 5, my mom made me take gingko and salmon fish oil everyday just because i told her i have bad memory. it was true, up to a certain extend.

When it comes to subjects that require reading and remembering like history or biology or moral, i just cant seem to remember anything but only some touch n go points here and there. my memory power was really bad and mom worried that i'd fail these subjects if the reason for the failure was my memory

oh well, if memory power was really that bad, i believe by right i wouldn't even remember those 'steps' of formulae applications for additional mathematics, like how to get those figures or if more, the long and complicated chemical equations? or the structural formula of each chemical molecule? or the principle behind each physical reaction by the molecular forces or whatnot.

my question is, is memory something subtle? if we cant seem to remember an occasion or something, should we blame on the memory power or the subject to it? like, the subject is not of any importance or significance?

i personally believe its the latter. its not so much on we're-borned-with-bad-memory but its the subject that matters. if its all about something (or someone) we love, we care or something (or someone) dear to us, we tend to remember every single detail bout them. but if its otherwise and insignificant in our life, we'd just choose float by and be ignorant.

well after all we've only limited space in our cerebral, haven't we?

You know what, I'm disgusted with myself!

Proclaimation: So as of today (Jul 30th), I need to increase my basal metabolic rate. Okay, scratch the need, need sounds like an understatement. I mean, I MUST increase my BMR!

yeah, so, thank You! (:

A Miracle Indeed.

Yet again today i experienced Your faithfulness in my life. That was indeed a miracle.

All I can say, thank You.

To Buddy with Love.

i always tell my students to study with love. or whatever we do, we do with love. heh yeah, even when working or being a friend to someone.

lei jo cho yat, ngo jo sap ng (canto); familiar or not this phrase? in english, its something like an eye for an eye. i guess this is one of the commonest scenarios in the world where everyone complies with such attitude. everything starts in us. i admit i may be one of them too.

we all may be living in the world but we're not of the world. at least, i beg to differ. i dont know how long this may last (or at least please give me a gentle nudge if i ever forget), but as of today onwards, July 25th 2010, i'd love to proclaim that i want to take the extra mile in things that i do. i want to show you the extra effort.

if you're not nice to me, i'd stil be nice to you. if you're nice to me, i want to be nicer than you!

heh, so thats to buddy with love. sounds easy but guess its not that easy, at least for me la. i definitely need the discipline and the compliances. and oh, i really hope no one will take me for granted for it. i cannot doubt that weariness will take place, but i hope you'd stand with me, and run this race with me.

previously, i really insist on both ways communication (even now, i hope they'd still be two ways). like previously, if i've texted you and you don't reply, i won't bother texting you anymore. or if i've called you or made a move to meet you but you don't seemed keen, then i'd not call you until you call me. or i don't bother requesting for hugs anymore if you do it for the sake of doing it, or poke jokes after that.

now, if you don't reply i think i'll continue bugging you with smses. now, if you're not interested and don't bother bout me, i'd choose to care more for you and be there for you at all times whenever needed. now, if you think you'd trouble me when you wanna ask favours from me, i'd go all the miles just to meet your needs.

and, i don't do these to impress you, or to make you feel bad, but i just want to be nice. just because i live in the world but i'm not of the world.

and yes, to buddy with love <3

----

and oh, i had one of the sweetest dream last night! <3

a dream to remember? heh.

Another Miracle.

july. it was just the beginning of this month that i wasn't keen on this month's incoming. i don't like changes as i'm already anticipating the expected. i'm not prepared and i don't know how much will it affect my current life.

the crucial week has came and gone. now's the just the aftermath.

what are the changes you may ask. are the outcome positive or negative? can i positify all the expected negativity? i don't know.

all i know, i'm really tired. i'm exhausted already in this race. the hills seemed so high and i wasn't sure if i had enough breath to climb them. i haven't gotten trained enough, i'm unprepared. i hope not much damages were done

now, all i aimed to do is to wipe clean the memories that took place during this period. and move on. it definitely would have left some scars but i heard some dermatix would help reduce the severeness of it all.

i was punched, i was kicked, i was left out. in the dark. all alone to face this valley of life. i could feel my priority and ranking in life got demoted from 3 to probably 7 now.

all i know i'll survive. i was born a fighter, not with my own strength or might of course! thank You, Lord.

like how amanda aptly puts it, when one door is closed, God will open another door for us. just don't give up on Him and continue believing. I thank You once again for this miracle, yet again.

i've gotta move on now. if no one in the world appreciates me or be with me in the lowest time, He will. apparently He sees my strengths in the midst of my weaknesses. He sees my potential when i fail in my life.

the only way to draw near to Him is through brokenness. 'cause only He can make me whole! my ego, my pride, my selfishness, all my masked emotions cannot be brought in, when i'm meeting Him in the holy of holies.

.. even when i secretly still hope that things were never changed. and you're still you... though the truth in reality says no.

Changes.

Changes. Nobody likes changes. Especially when we're already in a comfortable state, when we're already so comfy with everything's that around.

But as much as don't like them, changes will still take place. We can run, we can hide, we can dislike, we can try-to-forget but changes will still take place when they need to.

The question is, how ready are we in accepting it. Because changes can take place, but outcome could be different. And the latter depends on our choices and how are we accepting it.

To be frank, this week is a rather worth-to-mark-down week. Because changes will be taking place. Of people and usual routined-life.

Well, I supposed we have to make it a good one. Unless we want the otherwise (:

For this, I want to thank God for everything that He has placed in my life, loved ones and good company. Thanks!



And oh! Happy 3 months, Buddy! (:

Happy 2 Months, Buddy!

Dear Buddy,

Actually there are alot of things that I wanna thank you for and the list would go on and on, and you wouldn't want them here, I know. Heh! Anyway, in short I'm thankful for you!



Time really rockets and its 2 months already. Really hope to see this buddy-ship going strong, months after months, and years after years! And I'd remember not to utter Clause #2.


Seriously I've never expected this buddy-ship to bloom so quickly and the mak-kai seems to be real eh (or are you that predictable actually? Oops)?

Sigh, if only I remember, then i wouldn't regret so much now. Nevermind, at least I saw you. Happy 2^nd month, Buddy! *Hugs*

Love,
Buddy.

Shrek!

Movie day with Jay and her bestie (btw what's her name again ah?) today. Shrek 3!

I was the only one who was so excited while the other two just give the okay-la look, as they haven't watched the part 1 and part 2 of Shrek holding on to the believe that Shrek is some kind of kiddy show? Oh, thats just so wrong right?

Besides the jokes and creativity with words (i like!), watching this actually taught me things and they serve as great reminders.

As we all know, many a time we tend to take people around us for granted. We take our family, our loved ones, our friends for granted especially when life goes so mundane and routine? Thats when we wished that we could be like before, that we wouldn't need to be committed, do things freely and as we wish, and be our old-selves?

We tend to mutter under our breath, complaining bout stuffs. It is only when we lose them, then only we'd learn how to treasure and appreciate them. Thats when regrets would come flooding in, and the word if only kicks in.

So friends, I now declare that I wanna treasure everyone around me and would not take things for granted. Give me a nudge if I don't. Some of you who are entitled for hugs from me, claim them okay! (:

p/s: Buddy, this applies to you too k. I really hope this buddy-ship doesn't end in July *fingers-crossed*

In Sync.

its unique how important it is when our heartbeat has to be in sync with our pulse and breathing mechanism. if they don't, our body will go haywire and might shut down.

usually during a heart transplant, the donor's heart would usually be placed in an ice box to freeze and keep the heart until it reaches the recipient's body.

the cardiac muscles of the transplanted heart will contract and relax but the rhythm of the donor might differ from the recipient's. thats where and when the transplanted heart would spend some time in there (recipient's), trying to tune in and be in sync with the rest of the organs, contracting and relaxing in a sync-ed rhythm in order for the transplanted patient to survive and grow strong

as for now, i know just because we haven't hung out as much as before and causes our heart to not beat at the same frequency as before.

i promise, in no time, i'd try my best to place mine next to yours again

to sync them and there we'd be back in sync soon

lets do this together, shall we?

sometimes i hope that i can turn back time.

i secretly wished that your soul could be with me to witness everything of everyday of my life.. and that you could see it for yourself what has been happening. and not by you hearing from the third party.. i believe no one would bad-mouth me but hearing a different version of stories can definitely create different (or maybe wrong) impressions.

i dont like this cold silence without me knowing whats really going on. at least, let me know.

i secretly wished that there's cctv in life that i could rewind pause and play to see what has been going on.

what i afraid most is to lose you, this friendship, and i really wanna protect it if i could.

i've been really transparent to you, and i hope you can see my heart through and through, nothing but a genuine friendship to you.

it hurts alot.

anyway there's nothing much i can i do right now but to hope and to pray. with time, i hope clearer pictures can be seen

i really miss you!

complicated.

us humans are really funny creations. okay la, unique i mean.

we do what we shouldn't do, we don't do what we should.

and we want what we cannot get. and with the implanted natural greed in us, even when we get finally get what we want, we want more.

more ultimately, we make things complicated when things are actually really simple. we'd like to be called the intellectuals, bragging our complicated and complex brain that we have when compared to other species in the animal kingdom.

for example, 1 + 1 is 2. thats it. but us human wont believe its just that. we'd like to try factorizing them and then differentiating them and then adding in some integrations and after completing calculations in 6 sheets of exam pads, then only to realise that we can't get the answer. then we became frustrated. and a genuine little kid comes up to us stating shouldn't it just be 2 since its 1 plus 1.

like it or not, our lives are like that. we like to make things complicated and find issues and can't settle them and be angry with ourselves, with people around us and only to know that the solution is one simple one. if only we sit back, breathe in and see from another perspective, everything can be done.

personally, i believe and i like the child-like faith and i believe each and everyone of us still has this instilled in us, just that we'd prefer to bury them real deep underneath and overshadowed by this character called The Ego.

and fyi, childlike-faith differs from being childish okay. they are two different separate entities altogether

have a good day!

Life Is A Like Drama

People always say life is like a roller coaster. It'll go up and down and up and down and thankfully not stagnant. Only dead people has a straight and stagnant pulse

Some others would say that life is like a box of chocolate. You wont know what is it until you open it up. Bittersweet --- apparently thats the best-tasting ones.

For myself, I'd like to think its like a drama. We're the producer, the director, the actors/actresses as well as the audience.

Sometimes its really funny when you got so involved watching the drama of your good friend's life like as if you're living in it too? Like, you're emotionally affected too when the emotions of the heroes/heroins in the drama that you're watching are? I guess thats when we should compliment the script writer and also the director of this drama. Or maybe the actors too since they can portray them well?

I just found out that i was rather affected by this good friend's drama of life. That probably explains a li'l bout the unknown not-in-the-mood and restless feeling I had for the past one week.

Now you might not know which other friends are affected by you too. Remember the Energy Law of Physics? Energy cannot be destroyed and created. They only can be transferred and change in forms

Boss? I like mine!

If I have to count all my blessings, one of them is my boss.

I mean i've heard so many people complaining bout their bosses and how they're treated etc. In contrary, I'm super thankful that I'm blessed with a real good boss; a boss who stands by my side, supporting me and trusting me all the way.

She's not just a boss but also a friend to us.

She'd listen to us, and help us whenever an issue arises. We'd play hard, we'd laugh loud, we'd party much and we'd work smart and hit all our targets together.

And oh btw, today she offered me a hug too, just to sayang me back. How sweet (:

No Meows Please!

I believe your real intention wasn't to really thank me but you just came across this annoying winking cat that somehow resembles you?

Sometimes i really don't know if I should be angry or laugh. You can be really annoying eh (but sometimes the way i like it). Aiyo i don't know la.

And you know what our brand manager told me today?

"I can see that she always bully you and you're willing to be bullied"

The latter sentence, not really a question but a statement? I wanted to deny, and then i cant seem to find a concrete denial point.

Then I replied, "Maybe its not because its her and thats why im willing to be bullied. Chris doesn't even bully me last time, so i can't tell. Looks like I'm never a senior :("

Maybe you're just, playful? But I like (: meow!

Prawn's Shell.

It was another good time with them in Seoul Garden just now! Yune-ine, thanks for organizing it again! (:

The usual too-scientist me got a little random today and posted Junie and the rest this question:

Have you all wonder what will happen to us if we eat the prawn's shell as well?

My answer:

We'll feel bloated. Reason? Prawn's shells are calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). When they arrive at our stomach, our gastric juice (hydrochloric acid) will react with the prawn's shell

CaCO₃ + 2HCl ---> CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

Note the production of CO₂? So yeah.. *burp*

Somehow, this picture looks wrong. Quite disturbing lehh.

How Ironic?

Eventhough you cheekily spammed my wall in my absence, thinking that i'd be mad at you when i find out.. but you know what? I kinda like them.

I mean, I'm not very used to say very good things in front of you or i dun seem to sayang you (superficially) and we definitely squabble alot but i believe deep down, you're a Darling to me (:

love you la, colleague and friend! xoxo

Joyous January.

Sorry for not updating it as promised. I think I'd like to blame facebook for its convenience :P

Omg, I can't believe it that its February already. January came and left, just like that.

Anyway, here are some of the updates (or happenings) in January:

Venue: Alvina, Adeline & Amery's Crib
Participants: North & Central Cell

Tell-the-Truth game --- so many truths were revealed that night, concealed and only between us.

Looking at Harvest Youth's Productions, I think I know what they're best in..

And oh, I love this classic picture!

Whenever Christian youths gather, musical instruments will definitely be involved!

We sing,

we dance,

and have fun.

Memories. (:
