"There's always more than one solution to a problem, depends on how you see it."

Crummyyyy

I did dinner yesterday. Surprisingly, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would become because I stayed away from the stove and used the induction cooker which suits people like me better. 'Let the meat simmers and put it on low fire so it doesn't caramelize.' Haha we're all Rachael Ray's fan, aren't we. Just because he's better than me in cooking, he teases me. Hmph.

Family's planning to go to Cameron Highlands but the date's not confirmed yet. It's a big group with grandparents and cousins. I really don't feel like going. First, cause they're going to the same places and stay at the same apartment and I've been there before. Second, I don't wanna miss gatherings with friends who's hardly in Klang. But it's family and I guess we're spending the Valentine's there too :)

So..so beautiful.

U hav no idea :X

Waking up to your Marine perfume

Well, I helped mom fold two whole stacks of 'hell money' for the coming festive prayers yesterday and today while my butt glued to the sofa and eyes set on the tv. Everything goes including melodramatic Indon and Korean dramas. My fingers are all weak and sore now.

Rah. So unoccupied. Anyways, Shah Rukh Khan and the Rai lady won awards again.

Un'sangka'lable

Yesterday, the whole day was spent with dear grandparents. We had breakfast, we went grocery shopping, we did arrow head chips. It is not as easy as it seems, really. It needs real skills and grandma's the only one who has it. While the ladies are busy in the warm stuffy kitchen, the dudes were lying around comfortably. Grandpa dozed off in front of the tv, second bro got heated up with the PSP and the lil' one was meddling with grandpa's iPhone. At night, all of them went for the Lim Association dinner and left behind me and the notorious one. It was really nice..reminds me of our childhood times when we were younger, we often had sleepovers here during the holidays and really, you could gain five pounds in a week easily.

Parents are off for a wedding dinner again tonight. Hence, we ordered pizza for our dinner. The pizzaman was late as expected but the pizza was great. Omg, Justin Bieber's Pray is stucked in my head since yesterday. That's like the only song of his that I can listen to. Hah. Tomorrow is another brand new Monday, all the best college-goers. Illuminate like you always do :)

And, Happy 18th Birthday to Lee Sze Ying. Wish you a great, crazy, fun-filled tomorrows. With you around, there will be endless smiles and laughters. I love you, kai lui :D

Close your eyes and count till 333. Bye bye.

Different Gear, Still Speeding

Aah what a day. My bro had his cross country today and he was late by three minutes. Three minutes. Well, there's always a next year to try harder right. Yesterday, my god he was like so paranoid. He slept early, ate vitamins and drank water like he'd never tasted it before. Haha funny guy. Now his legs hurt and there's rashes all over his body. The mysterious allergy breakout again.

Just now, we went shopping after getting the lantern frills for grandma. Guess what we bought. Dad bought himself a brand new comfy pillow and bolster and another pillow for me, bro bought a new pants and mom, being a mom, she bought household stuffs.

I just love it when my mom comes in the room, pull the curtains apart and call my name out loud that it can heard by the neighbours. Morning sunshine hits my face straight, making its stand that reality has stricken. No more John Vesely serenading in dreamland, it is time to rise and shine. I walk out the room and there's food awaiting on the dining table. What a bliss right :)

It's simple, it's crude, it's sincere. Sleep tight. Bye bye.

When Eyes Meet Eyes

My heart stops

My feet frozen

My teeth stutter

My fingers shiver

My hair stands

My eyes blinded

My ears deafen

My stomach contracts

My airway shrinks

My mind explodes

They're all dancing

in their own rhythms

The whole world evolves

All I see is you

My god

When eyes meet eyes

Everything seems so real

Wednesday Thursday Friday

It's not quite a beautiful sight when frustrations and dissatisfactions starts drowning you away. You kinda lose yourself and you feel like the whole world has done wrong towards you. Yeh, do let it all out, get it out of your system, throw it all away right away. But, do it the right way and moderately. Not everyone is understanding and patient enough at all time so be more cautious alright.

Okay, done. Thaipusam's over an hour ago. There's a sudden urge in me to climb the Batu Caves this coming Chinese New Year. I wanna see the wild monkeys there and give them Coca Cola which they love haha. CNY is just around the corner and I've yet to receive pineapple tarts and loveletters from relatives. What happened.. why aren't many people doing it anymore. Even my aunt stopped doing it, too much of hassle she said. Yea everything's so modernised nowadays. There will come one day where we'll start having our family reunion dinner in restaurants so that grandma doesn't have to tire herself out too much in the kitchen anymore. Anyways, muruku is the new loveletters. I told my mom not to buy 'lap cheong' that day and I got cold stares from my bros. Hmph. Okay, Jamali and I got into a weird conversation about the handing over of my territories to him as the new mande. And this is how he passed his test. I gave him a title and he came out with such a touching piece of artwork. He won. Okie, have a lovely trip to Dreamland. Bye bye.

I Am Ready

I can't bear to see a sweat drop on your brow

I can't bear to see you in worries

I won't allow you to shed even a tear

I won't allow even your shadow to fall on earth

So let me help you out now,

Listen to me when I say I am ready right now,

Hand me over all your responsibilities,

I will take good care of all these cities.

Nom nom nom

Why do we always lose something we adore so much at the time when that really special bond had just began to form between us, when our relationship starts to bloom to the next level, when understanding and the feeling of 'one-ness' are catching up with the flow.. Blacky's gone, he has to. He's gone too, he wants to.

Well, the past weekend was nice. Saturday, mom had her company annual dinner. The theme was Masquerade. She said the food was terrible, that means it's really terrible. So there were me and the other two bros left at home, we went to Esso mamak (my idea hee) and we ate like a horse and had ice-cream for dessert later on. Saturday night would be perfect if I were the one who held the steering. Drifted off to Dreamland around 2.30am.

Sunday is a 'no-breakfast' day. We had brunch with grandparents near the Klang bus station, the cinema which only shows Tamil movies there is still alive till today, amazing. Having meals with my grandparents is always very entertaining because they always have different opinions on things and always wanna win in arguments. However, they still care for each other very much, taking food for one another, fulfilling every needs and wants of the other. Isn't that lovely, I thought to myself while my lips formed an envious grin.

After the wonderful meal, we all went to Jusco in grandpa's awesome, almost antique van cause dad had an appointment. Haha it was surely a fun-filled hilarious ride. The engine will just suddenly dies off and it moves super duper slow. Ahma couldn't stop laughing and she made us laughed out loud at the situation. So bad..haha grandpa himself laughed and in a sudden serious tone he said, "I'm gonna buy an Alphard soon." LMAO. Jusco was packed like mad, everyone's shopping like crazy, just got their bonus I guess. We got out of that place before the crowd gets worse and headed off to Klang's famous rojak and cendol.

Our shopping affair continued to Pyramid with Amethyst. We used the canopy walk from Sun-U and lucky us, we saw two black bears from above :) Shopping is really not a problem for me, I can walk from day to night but the aftermath..hmm. All I need is a night on the bed with really good sleeping posture to be in good shape again. Dinner was great, we had Balinese cuisine. Authentic and yummy. Sharp ten, most of the shops had already shut their doors and people fasten their pace to the exit while yawning away widely. Mom quickly bought some plants and bamboo for the home. I cherish this day very much. Thank you god.

We sang like Whitney Houston's on drug

Had three hours of care-ree-o-kie session today. My voice is still fine, I don't usually get to lose it that easily. On the way there, got the stern advice from him but it was okay. Today is a fine day. It's been a month since SPM's over. It felt like so long..and so fast. Everyone's continuing their studies already. Yes I've been repeating myself so many times. I'm just worried and hoping that this is not a mistake. It will be a good night too, I hope.

Someday when this is over

We may still have no answer

For now it's when I hold ya

We are closer, we are closer

We are closer, we are closer

Pineapple tarts :)

There's a black puppy in my house for no reason. Yeh right, "I'm helping the mother to take care of its son so I'm doing a good deed." *sigh* He has always wanted to rear a dog but dad doesn't like a pet at home. Gosh you should look at his cheeky smiles since he got the puppy in his hands. Haha. For god's sake, you're 21 hahaha. So the world has changed, I was waken up by a puppy's cry for the first time this morning. I went to him and said, "Blacky, what's the problem?" and he cried even louder. Why.. So I bathed it and played with it for a while and magic, he went to dreamland. Ahh peace at last.

The subject of studying overseas.. To me, it's not a must but if I were given the golden opportunity to do so, why not. I could gain more experience and I like travelling to a new place. However, I'm scared to even think of migrating. Anyhow, this is still my real home, my origin no matter how not satisfied I am about many things here. By home, it may not be Malaysia the country but my real home, my family. I'm sure all parents want their children to always stick together and be close to them, especially when they're getting

old and retirement is just moments away. It's like that..you know. No matter how low they try to put their expectations towards their children as they grow up and become successful individuals, there's still the speck of hope there deep down in their heart.

I'll be there.

Blacky

My home :P

Soldier On

Yeah, will you take me tonight
Yeah, will you take me tonight
Yeah, will you take me tonight
Ooooh... tonight

lol

Sometimes a hug is good

Ooohhh my god...

Yes, all I did today was TV. It's crazy! And it's just tv, no astro, no nothing. I got to find something else to do. Next week onwards, more people are gonna start college and leave us, the jobless ones behind. Lol. I continued my mum's left behind cross-stitch work a little but it's just way way too complicated and it's a HUGE piece. I might need to wear spectacles if I ever finish that.

My neighbour..she has been bugging us like crazy since that day when mum informed her about the minor renovation work going on. She's like asking this and that non-stop and giving her opinions about everything like she knows everything in the world. The worst part is she even knows what's going on in our house. She is like an undercover spy. She doesn't come out in the day when there's sunlight, seriously. Haih..dad says better avoid talking to her too much. Cause something happened when we were young. =X Tomorrow is another day. Embrace yourself :)

Good angels, bad angels

They dispersed to their respective camps, they started their lives as college students, they got their legal freedom to manouvre the four-wheeled machine, they are earning their own pocket money, they are planning their future with or without their parent's consent.. Every head has their own agenda. The mind is the one that decides the path to be taken but the heart often interrupt to exude its dislike of being neglected. They are both equally important and complicated. What do you do when you have both being so persistent and egoistic? Cut them both and follow your instinct.

Happy 18th Birthday to my dearest 'Door Step Son'! 18 days after I turn 17, she turns 18. It's all fate.. haha. Son, may god bless you throughout your journey on this 'playland' of His and may you always shine the BRIGHTEST whenever and wherever you go. You are the source of everyone's light so don't you ever burn out :) I love you. We will always be the best mother-son pair. Have a blast!

P.S. Now she has a new name for me. Buttocks.

We'll be there someday :)

Time of your life

Shinies :)

Past time

Dream catcher

when I stepped out the house..

Treasures

Lil one's fascinations

Another turning point;

a fork stuck in the road.

Time grabs you by the wrist;

directs you where to go.

So make the best of this test

and don't ask why.

It's not a question

but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable

but in the end it's right.

I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs

and still frames in your mind.

Hang it on a shelf

In good health and good time.

Tattoos of memories

and dead skin on trial.

For what it's worth,

it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredictable

but in the end it's right.

I hope you had the time of your life.
