Footsteps of Life

a fresh start

2010-01-06T07:19:00.000-08:00

halo :)

2009 ended with lots of joy in Nepal!

*wishing to be there every year*

college has started, and it's okay but i still miss high school! & trying very best to adapt to the new environment; there's a 10-year-old genius in my class, super adorable-

oh, and avatar is a Must Watch :)

2009-09-10T00:10:00.000-07:00

hello :)

busybusy days. trials is really killing me; there were times where i thought i was studying, but in fact i fell asleep and dreamt myself memorizing moral nilais and sejarah, how pathetic.

the time traveler's wife on october, can't wait.

soon to update more on frim and khadrola's visit after trials,
till then;

it's not another ordinary day

2009-06-07T08:42:00.000-07:00

07/06/2009, a day to remember

in life, things just come clashing,
right now, we may think something is important &
the next moment, we realize there are more&more important matters;
we just have to learn to choose one,
& pray that the choice we made is right,
that things will go well;

how do you break free without breaking apart?

2009-06-03T18:50:00.000-07:00

hello :) although it's one busy holiday, i still (FINALLY) got my chance to watch revolutionary road, i really like the ending of the film despite a sad one. i find romance story really heart captivating & i guess that's why i also want to land my feet on india to visit taj mahal, to witness the beauty of love mumtaz mahal had for his wife and also the craftmanship.

i'm yet to post about the 6 months ago nepal trip :)

this is stupid, i have no idea how to upload a video on blogger :\ but anyway view this;

it feels weird after not blogging for around 2 months; there's so much to say, yet so hard to express.

last weekend; we went back to malacca to celebrate grandpa's 76th birthday.

grandpa&grandma.

his encouragement towards our studies, his stories about world war 2, his love as a grandpa;
for as long as he lives, i hope he will be healthy.

manage to make it for dharma for kids today which the teachers introduced the 16 guidelines for a happy life. & today's topic is humility.

it's nice being around little kids; like how they speak up in cute tone and stuff..

me,mel&suemay.

that is it, take care :)

2009-02-12T05:18:00.000-08:00

eversince i have started knowing and recognizing them, the extended cousins, they have become one of the reasons i look forward for chinese new year. despite the fact that, we don't even contact each other for a whole long year; despite the fact that, we are age apart; we still manage to pull off that awkward feeling in just seconds when meeting each other.

years and years, we just don't seem bored of the swing in granduncle's house, which we will look back & laugh about when we grow up, and then the mind will be whispering, "that's when you're still a little kid!"

it's just like a sweet dream-

just came back from nepal last night;
interesting and adventurous trip,
leg hurts now after 11 days of walking :\

proper update after i get all the pictures done.

cameron highland.

2008-11-10T04:06:00.000-08:00

weekend was spent at cameron highland with friends from ldc. the weather up there was good, windows were down most of the time to enjoy the breeze; and also there's the smelly fertilizer smell too :\

it was raining cats and dogs on the first day, so we basically stay in the apartment to watch tv and chat. then i got my hand on the camera, taking random shots (don't mind the noobness)

cheeken;
kor;

(:;

steamboat for dinner.
night market with yummy sweet potato balls, fried mushrooms & chocolate coated strawberries.
monopoly until 2 ish, with kor earning lots of monopoly money $$, leaving me, suemay and ying bankrupt.
i want the world edition monopoly (:

next morning, after breakfast, we headed off for Healthy Strawberry Farm to get strawberries and had a taste on the strawberry ice lollies, sweet nice and cheap.

strawberries;

lavender;

rose;
pitcher plant; zhu long caoclassic;kenn's;

love-shaped bamboo

visit to a temple.

cute buddha;

morning market.
rose for grandma.
we went for the tea plantation. nice landscape there, they have nice masala tea, i like (: i went 3/4 up the tea hill, but decided to come down, as i have some sort of slope phobia, the slope went stipper, i thought to go up again and figure a way to come down later, but chicken insisted that he leave me up there alone while the others are down there.

tea plantation;

2 days of enjoyment;

love.

2008-10-31T05:32:00.000-07:00

exam is already half way through, and not even a paper seems perfectly fine. smile was on the face when the first page was done, then came the second page, the mind went, dang.

staying up late night these days was quite freakkyy.
kittens meeeooooowed so loud at the back lane, which reminds me of the black cat from ju-on.
then from no where, some girls screamed and then a bike sped along the road.
worse, there was someone mourning "YOOOUUU" across the road. minutes later, ying came up and started telling stories which would bring nightmare.

xx.

sweet sixteen

2008-10-18T11:07:00.000-07:00

2008-09-30T07:00:00.000-07:00

And anyway, look at me. Nothing bad's gonna happen. You gotta have a little faith. -august rush-

in a blink of an eye

2008-09-06T20:37:00.000-07:00

time does past fast, it's september now. exam is coming up in 1 month time.and a teacher once mentioned, "time will past even faster when you reach form 5" uhh.

8 months of 2008 have been filled with pretty much ups and downs, in fact more than the past few years, nonetheless i would say it's a pretty good one.

at times,
when we felt intimidated;
we wished that every moment just past,
as fast as it could.

Leo Orientation Camp

2008-09-02T08:08:00.000-07:00

& it ended up pretty fun.

together we rock; together we roar; together we've got something more; because we are hardcore!

friday
jasmine was wondering, why did she even sign up for camp.

saturday
woke up as early as 5.45am just to pack and rush rush rush. mel came around 8.30am to pick me then cheeken and off we headed for yuk chai. registered and was placed in room G1 with yi lin, li ann, lisa & melanie. later then, we had to get into our own team which i was in team 4 with lisa, yeezhian, daniel, samantha, grace, wenyuin, dash, debbie and a tp girl.

soon after, some ice-breaking activities started. lion clayton's betrayer game
samantha, the chick you drew was really cute (:
at night, we had treasure hunt.

half of the team member had to be blindfolded,
the other half had to be handcuffed at the back.

sunday
talks talks & talks& games.

we had to balance 10 nails on one nail.

fellowship night
monday

"there's no electricity"
wtv.
15minutes later
"wake up, wake up, emergency, short circuit"

then we were blindfolded and made to walk for 1 hour.
later, we gathered at the basketball court to see stars, mhmm.

taman s.e.a

with much love.

short update:

i'm currently so stuck with all the homeworks that are supposed to be done during the holidays.
i'm like some nerd who is facing the table and books almost every single minute in school, trying to finish the homeworks that are just given by teacher so i will have time to finish those long due tuition works at home ):

some merdeka programme this thursday at gombak.
Leo Orientation Camp coming up this weekend.

time to sleep.

a long update after camp.

love much.

2008-08-11T09:18:00.000-07:00

monday is always one tiring day, i have no idea why. the mind just doesn't seem to want to work, the body is just to lazy to move around except a few stretch to wake myself up ):

2008-08-02T04:16:00.000-07:00

this dog, it has been at the back alley since i was young, really young.
minutes were spent there, just to stare and look at the dog,
it stares back with a pity look.
i always want to touch and pet it on its head,
but i didnt.

last month, i went to my grandpa's house in the morning. i had nothing better to do and so i just went to the back, and saw this dog, it still look perfectly fine, just that it has grew older and weaker.

love.

it's soon to be august, 10 more days to olympic, that small little corner of star newspaper always remind me how fast time flies in a blink of an eye

suemeng, hey, just a little reminder for you, your spm is like in umm, less than 4 months (:

leo installation has ended.
no more hassle calling people, especially mr.chongsheng who in total used up 1 hour of my precious time, at least it's pretty worth it, since many think your dance is damn awesome.

babysitting is very very boring. finally, i get my chance to carry a little baby, after 16years2months28days of being labelled as a rather clumsy girl and not being trusted for being able to carry a baby
mind you, i didn't drop my baby cousin, hee.

many things to catch up on. i'm really looking forward to watching dark knight and kungfu panda, and mega sales is coming up!

till then, much love.

everything can be neutral, like distilled water.
it's perfectly fine if you don't like something
but at the same time don't dislike it.

gasp.

2008-07-25T08:25:00.000-07:00

i was viewing through pictures that were taken, and this one *point down* caught my attention.

she giggles so much.

"germaineeeeeee....hahaha (:"

2008-07-12T20:30:00.000-07:00

take out cheese chicken frankfurters and leave in on the microwave tray.
'what are you doing?'
'err, i'm going to cook it la'
kor gives weird stare :\
'it's so simple, just leave it in the microwave and turn that timer thing'
gives weirder stare

hee(: i'm half weird.

2008-07-12T04:47:00.000-07:00

i almost fell down from the stairs again :\ for the 10th times if i'm not mistaken.

i hope i won't end up like this one day.

You got me trippin oh, stumbling oh, flippin oh, fumbling oh
Clumsy cuz I'm fallin in love, in love

only if it's one week earlier.

2008-07-09T06:13:00.000-07:00

sitting on the sofa, staring at the air, wondering about what would happened the next second.

suddenly, mommy told me
' hey, this morning someone from the lion club called up..' it's about the youth exchange thing.
'huh? *blank stare* oh yea, i remember. when is it? :D'
'oh, they said something about hosting from xxx to xxx. but well, i told them we're going overseas, so we can't. she said probably arrange another one at end of the year'
'oh crap, wait, aren't we going away on december too? mommy, are you sure? i thought it's around july and august since they wrote july/august'
'mmm..'

):

i'm tired, good night.

much love (:

anyway, after sending an email to Mr. Ng.
i'm finally done with the name tags and name cards, yayy(:
i'm sorry If the name tags and name cards turn out ugly or too plain, i'm really sorry.

oh by the way, Mr. Ng is one quite friendly and funny person. he was entertained by someone's joke, right pauling? FocusFocusFocus. :D

2008-07-08T15:03:00.000-07:00

morning!

the emergency siren liked alarm clock rang and woke me up as early as 4.30p.m.
then i went to finish up my addmaths and mod maths homework (sound like a freak, i know :\)
then i came online to email mr ng about some leo name tag thing. he was somehow very happy yesterday and decided to give us discounts, mhmmm (:
and here i am, eating pulut hitam and blogging.

bye(: time to bath and get ready for school!

there's freaking pjk today ): bahhh!

2008-07-06T12:40:00.001-07:00

i think i'm having insomnia after all those late night stay ups. it's freaking 3.46a.m & i'm not yawning at all, my eyes aren't pain neither is my head after staring at the computer for more than 3 hours.

okay, i just yawned.

daughtry concert is an invite-only party ): and you will be invited by buying one of the selected SE phones ): ): ): how pathetic.

2008-07-06T12:09:00.000-07:00

& insulting others?
-anonymous-

2008-06-15T07:50:00.000-07:00

i'm confused, very.

2008-06-14T07:39:00.000-07:00

"Love is always patient and kind.
It is never jealous.
Love is never boastful or conceited.
It is never rude or selfish.
It does not take offense and is not resentful."

-a walk to remember-

2008-06-09T08:36:00.000-07:00

hello (:

i just realised how much interest i have on buildings and structures (:
they are built up in their most outstanding way, different shapes, different colours, potraying different cultures, reflecting the life that one travels.

it just simply amaze me how stable a building can be and remain at it's place for a really long time as if they live an immortal life.

pretty unique flower. with a mouth-liked opening (:

goodnight.

malam maut

2008-06-06T07:03:00.000-07:00

*screaammss* prom night is a must watch horror movie (: it's now on my all time favourite horror movie list, a night to die for. i can actually go to bed after watching it.

with all the sudden appearance of mr stalker, the continuous stabbing, blood splashing around and dead bodies, mhmm,it's a bit freaky for me (: because i can't stand people popping out from no where, as simple as that.

i kept assuming that there would be ghost or silhouette which would appear and then the fear struck me. since screaming in the cinema isn't really good and i can't stand the spooky feeling, i ended up laughing at the beginning where all the suspends happened, suspends as in people popping out from now where(: i stopped laughing for a while because the storyline was so expected and that there would be no ghost or whatsoever.

later, when every murdering scene happened, melanie started laughing, then i started laughing too, laughing is contagious (: so basically, i laughed throughout the whole movie, more like a comedy to me. never in my life did i laugh so badly even when watching comedy.

*laugh&laugh*
nearly everyone in the cinema looked as if they were bored, a rather vacuous movie, really. it looks freaky from the ads, doesnt it? :\

2008-06-04T11:16:00.000-07:00

kor(: you just frightened ying and i, that's really bad of you.

despite the fact that you claimed that both the toothbrushes were yours, i still took one of it, teehee (:
because of you, i chose the pink over the blue, so you can have the blue one.
imagine you using a pink toothbrush, how cute eh (:

leo kuala selangor trip

2008-06-03T04:41:00.001-07:00

since everyone has blogged about the kuala selangor trip, i guess pictures will do (:

2008-05-27T03:08:00.000-07:00

after hours of chitchatting (: ;
thinking of freaky scary stuff,
while others were sleeping;
i finally had an approximately one hour of sleep,
only;

a sleep that wasn't peaceful and comfortable,
i felt so awake that nothing can put me to sleep,
illusions were floating around the mind
and i just felt intimidated, filled with fear to sleep,
bahhh!
yawns(:
time to get back the sleep that were sacrificed.

it's 6.25p.m,
time to sleep comfortably (:

2008-05-25T07:46:00.000-07:00

what if i meet leeches? ):
gahhhh!

2008-05-23T23:02:00.000-07:00

mommy: i thought you want to keep your fringe long?
me: mmmhmmm ): yeaaa. i told the person to cut a little LITTLE bit only and this is what it turns out to be, i look so weird *screeammmss*
mommy: *giggles* no you don't, it's okay lar. you shouldn't have told him to cut even a bit, then they will just trim it, when you tell them to cut a bit, that's what they do, they cut off your fringe. nevermind, you look more energetic now, like a small kid.
me: :\:\ more like a retard i think. i thought cutting a little bit makes no difference with trimming? arrghhhhhhh.
ying: shuttt uppp, HAHAHHAHAHA!

i look like a big retard now :\ gaaaah.

2008-05-22T04:19:00.000-07:00

2008-05-09T20:36:00.001-07:00

hello (:

exams were pretty much pissifying ): i don't know how on earth to do physics and add maths :| i won't be surprise to get back a Fantastic mark.

i haven't been sleeping alot (: after all, there's better thing to be done :D

& jason mraz-i'm yours is super awesome. and of course chris brown-with you too (:

fritzl is an incest addict, ): , poor girl.

my internet connection has been really bad, pfft, bahbahbahhh.

;then i always wonder,
what will it be like, if
you've never stepped in to my life,
what will it be like, if
the words typed couldn't be sent.
what will it be like, if
i've never tried risking such thing.

after all, i'm a big liar,
only for this particular thing.

2008-04-30T06:33:00.000-07:00

happy birthday justin *hugs*, you're like really really old now!

mid-term exam is starting next week. the exam phobia has not hit me, that's why i haven't started studying or revising, instead, i lie on the floor for 2 hours reading seventeen and listening to songs.

& i can predict that i will be studying 24/7 like a nerd starting next week till the last day of exam :\

rachel, pauling, me, cherissa, li ann and melanie finished up 16 scoops of ice-cream in 14 minutes (: mmmmm, yuuummmmm (:

2008-04-18T09:10:00.000-07:00

i've been taking 6 meals per day for this week. how amazing huh? (:
breakfast, brunch, lunch, teatime, dinner, supper.
it's the only thing i would do when i had to stay up to finish up my homework in the afternoon and the few hours of midnight.

& the world seems to be upside down every moment.
like how one soul is living two different life.
one person living in split personality
and when you think back of what you did,
you actually aren't sure what you have done,
and when you're doing something,
you knew, that wasn't you,
but things have somehow found it's way
and appeared so naturally,
at times, you felt really sorry because thing weren't meant to be so.

everything went out of control,
even at times, i live like a weirdo
who don't even know who i am.

sometimes so bimbotic,
sometimes so rude,
sometimes so childish,
sometimes so nice&sweet,
sometimes like a meanie,
sometimes when you love to lend a hand to people
and at times being someone who just tried to ignore everyone
and live in a dark quiet world.

how you always try to fit in,
but ended up changing things worse than before.

it's pretty much scary in a way,
when you realised, you are not living a life of yours.

i can't wait for the holidays to come,
where you can leave for other places,
sit back on the aeroplane
give out a big sigh,
and enjoy the beautiful scenery,

i remember how i startled when i first saw sunset on the aeroplane;
and it's undescribeable..

2008-04-18T04:12:00.000-07:00

i've waited so long for this day. my piggy bank is added with rm40, gasp (:

okay, we do look alike, teehee.

2008-04-11T07:32:00.000-07:00

it's finally, friday. the time where i can lay back on the chair, and let out a sigh as a relief.

'mommy, i'm not sleeping in my room until i have time to actually clean it'
'i think there's beg bug on my bed, i don't want to get another red spot on my face ):'
so i ended up sleeping on the sofa in the living room for 4 days.

& our class won win, lose or draw :D pauling, rachel, xinhui, jasmine.

& the banner which pauling,melanie,rachel,melinda and i made was supposed to be sexy didn't turn out sexy :\
aren't we supposed to be inspired by adriana lima? (:
weehan&hanwei was probably turned on by her, naught naughty.
though, it's not the best, we're pretty satisfied.
& it's an effort worth put in, a work worth done
since we can't actually make it for the blind leading blind
to actually support the blinds.

i see no shopping moments for this weekend,
at least, i know i get to meet them whom i have not met
for a long long time
this weekend.
&that's why, i can't make it for blind leading blind ):

ta'z

When babies look beyond you and giggle.

mmhmmmm (:

2008-04-01T09:43:00.000-07:00

every morning, i wish that i will just faint and have a reason to not go to school for few days and also get to lie on the bed for hours and hours (: waking up as early as 6.40a.m is so suffering.

& every morning, my heart will whisper to me "sleep early tonight, jasmine" but i ended up sleeping at 1a.m

(: nights.

2008-03-30T03:37:00.000-07:00

went to ou with chowern, mans, pauling, rachel, sarah, meiyi and cherissa to catch the movie 27dresses, it was good but not to say Great. it's really really funny and sweet :D

Horton hears a Who! is one oh-so-adorable cartoon. especially horton, the bigbigbig elephant. & i recommend u to watch it, like hahaha, horton is so cuteeeeee! (: oh well, it's nice, really.
i just love to watch cartooon (:

ta'z for dinner.

2008-03-29T00:49:00.000-07:00

The magic of first love is our ignorance that it can never end.
