My life, My memory, My dream

27/10/2007 marks the big event of the year for our SALSA club. A prom night was organized in this particular night. For the preparation of this prom, my college peeps and I used lots of money and time to make the best out of ourselves. Well, I'm not going to write out how much I've spent, but a mental calculation in my mind tells me the approximate amount which reminds me to be more spendthrift for the next 3 months or so. Sigh... ( I'm all broke now.. )
On that day, Cat and I made an appointment with Suncity saloon to make our hairdo at 2pm. We reached there in time and we waited for 2 hours, which is already 4pm by that time before anyone noticed us there waiting for our hairdos. I made an appointment and they made us wait!! What the *&%@#... Because of the late hairdo, we were late for the makeup appointment and eventually late for the prom night. Cat, 189, PM, Caryn and I reached about an hour later. What we did most was taking pictures non-stop. Well, the purpose of dressing up is to take pictures. Haha..
Then after the prom night, we left. And on the way on a particular highway, we witnessed an accident happened just in front of us. The motorcyclist got flung to the other side of the road, and we girls got so shocked. But the only guy in our car, who is 189, his reaction was very fast. He stopped the car by the roadside, on the double signal and went down to ask about the motorcyclist. The motorcyclist appeared to be quite fine, and his first question was " Macam mana pergi Serdang? " We were so worried about him but he asked us this... *faint* Hopefully, he's really fine.
After sending 189 back to Cyberjaya, Pm and Cat to their own homes, I have to drive back alone. No more drivers available. Although it's only a short distance drive, I was quite afraid because I'm alone, and have to park my car at the alley beside my house. The worst thing is, it's 4am by the time I reach home - my 1st time using the car until so late. Daddy gotta wait for me at home. Poor him... I'm grateful he's there for me, and at the same time, I felt guilty for being such a bad girl.
"Daddy, you're the best!"
After camwhoring for some moments, removed my makeup, washed my hair twice with shampoo and conditioner ( the hairspray is really a good one ), took a hot shower, blowed my hair, washed my face, and putting all sorts of facecare products on my face - I ended up sleeping at 5.30 in the morning. Gosh.. I could have waited for sunrise. ><
All in all, the prom night was okay but I felt so sorry for neglecting Caryn as I'm too busy doing other things. She was very boring plus she's sick after staying there for a while. She had fever.
"Darling, I'm sooo sorry." When Caryn was sent back, she gave me my pressie from Miao Cheng which she had kept for some time. Miao Cheng gave me a crystal bracelet as my birthday present. It's so sweet of her. I remembered telling her I like this bracelet but didn't bought it at that time. Love the bracelet lots!! "Thank you, my dear."
Now that the prom night's over, my next attention will be on my trials which is 2 weeks later. Next target - get good results and get into my pharmacy course.

Study hard...
Study hard...
Study hard...

P/s : I got my piano grade 8 certificate today. At last... Now I'm officially a grade 8 holder.. Yippie!!! ^^ A million of thanks to my piano teacher for not giving me up when I didn't performed well in the past. "Thank you, Miss Lim. I owe u a dinner and I remember that." =)

Saw this in the bulletin board and thought it sounds interesting to share with all.. Especially people from the 80s... ^^

If you are Msia's 80s baby,read through
this, we grew up watching Transformers,
Thundercats, Woody Woodpecker,
Chipmunks, Mickey Mouse, Jem, Mask,
Ninja Turtles, Voltron, Baja Hitam,
Ultraman and not forgetting POWER RANGERS
and BUGS BUNNY!!! or McGyver ? :)

We had to brush our teeth during recess
at primary school and had to hold plastic
cups, line up with our classmates side
by side and start brushing our teeth
at some open area... or maybe near the
drain??

Do you still remember that we had
'dentist' rooms (the portable truck )
where we had to have our teeth check?

Not to forget our 'program minum susu'
in primary school.. everybody is
suppose to buy like cartons of milk that costed
30 cents.. and you would see everyone
drinking it everyday...its the UHT milk...

The teachers who would want to punish
us must use yellow rulers to hit us on
our palms?? 1 meter length..

That a bowl of mihun soup or some soup
only costed 50 cents at the school
canteen...

Went to some sundry shop near the
school or to the 'roti' man waiting outside
our schools so that we can buy junk food
like chickadees, mamee, ding dang with
some toys in it, 'Ti Kam', ice-cream
and we would play games like monopoly, uno,
old maid, and all other card games like
that...

Another fun time would be during
Pendidikan Jasmani. The boys would
play football while the girls would
play netball... and it would be like we
were playing in the world cup...

But of course, the best would be main
guli, batu seremban, bottlecaps, ice-
cream sticks, 'Pepsi Cola
one-two-three', Cops and Robbers, main
kejar-kejar duduk,getah... and for the
not so active, those kind of 'book
games' where we would use buku latihan
to draw and ask our friends to play...

Do you remember the ice-cream tubes
which are actually ice and colouring
that are sold for 10 to 20 cents.. the
colourful ones.. where you usually bite
off the top to gulp it down. Orange
tastes the best.. (pop-ice)

What about days when we felt like doing
naughty things such as folding papers
so small to make 'lastik' amd shoot
each other... how about throwing
chalks??

Back then, Micheal jackson was just
turning white.. and still had albums
coming out.. compared to CD's, we were
listening to tapes that sold for RM9.90...

In computer class, we were still using
black and white computer monitors..
played 'Atari'... maybe SEGA or NINTENDO..

Well, are we all getting older or what?
I guess so.. :p


1) If you understand what you have read, you will be smiling... ^^

2) We have friends from school that are already married... ( I even knew some already with babies.. )

3) We shake our heads everytime we see high school students fussing about
their handphones in school..

4) We don't hang on phone with ourfriends for hours a day talking about
nothing...

5) When we meet back with our friends from time to time, we feel excited and
happy talking about old times, the funny 'adventures' or stories that we
experienced as a kid.. ( an evidence that we're getting old.. )

6) Last but not least, that when you read this, you would think of all the
happy & sad memories that you have experienced when you were still a kid
and would think of forwarding this to your old friends that you have known
since forever... I'm sure they would have a huge smile on their face after
reading this...

I'm sure everyone have their own dreams of achieving something great in life. To be different from others, to be more successful and stronger than people around them. However, how many could have realized their dreams? How many have gave up? The reality is often very different from what we've dreamt all along.
I, myself have my own dreams...

I've dreamed to become a good student and excel in my studies...
Reality is, I did excelled during younger years, but not now anymore, I'm stranded in my A-levels and waiting to leave it everyday...
I've
dreamed to become a good pianist...
Reality is, I don't have the talent in my hands. All I can do is passed my Grade 8 and finished up my course.
I've
dreamed of becoming a more creative person, to have some artistic skills...
Reality is, I can't even do a simple sketch, and my mind is blank when I'm asked for an idea on projects and assignments.
I've
dreamed of having a loyal companion whom I can rely for long..
Reality is, this companion couldn't even fulfill a simple promise, how could I still believe this person?
I've
dreamed to become a more attractive person, more sociable...
Reality is, I'm just a very simple person with nothing much to attract others. And I don't own good communication skills.
I've
dreamed of many many little things, but not one is realized yet. Dreams are meant to be pursued and not dreaming on. It's time to wake up from beautiful dreams and start to work on the reality, I guess. All good things have to come to an end. After all, no one is perfect, and nothing lasts forever...

But again, there's a quote I once came across,
"If you dare to dream it, then you can do it"

Am I supposed to keep dreaming on?

I was thinking to write a post on...
1 more day to go...
1 more day to go...

However my stupid internet connection cannot be connected the whole day, and so today arrives. It is half past midnight now. 3/10 reached at last, after the long awaiting days. Of all dates, I guess I will remember this, might not for life, but it will not be forgotten in a short moment. Well, time really flies without warning, and it actually scares me. I'm not prepared to forget the past, and yet part of me secretly hopes time passes a little bit more faster. Well... speak of contradictions.. sigh..


A year has gone by...
I didn't realize I've poured so much thoughts and feelings into this blog of mine until today comes. The past me has been complaining that
" The rain has come and gone, but why hasn't the sun appeared? " And now, I know then sun has long appeared by my side, but I was too busy looking out for the rain that I didn't realize it's presence. A year ago, I've told myself that letting go is the best choice as I will find out what I want later on. And indeed, one year later, I knew what I've wanted all along. There might be some regrets along the way, but it doesn't matter as I learned that accepting things in a hard way is a process of growing up.


In my post one year ago, I've told you to take care of yourself. And today, after one year, I'll still tell you to take care. And an additional of thank you that I've owed you so long ago, which I didn't have the chance to tell you face to face. And I might not have the opportunity to do so. So, if you really happen to read this ( The probability is almost 0 ), do accept this token of thanks from me. You certainly have taught me a lot of things which I never knew before. Although you're only a chapter in my life, but you certainly made it wonderful for me. You're only a beginning of it, and thus I will create more memories on my own, with or without you. :)

So here you go...
Thank you and take care my dear...
You'll always remain different than others as I've told you before.

Readers might not remember, or even might not know, a long time ago, I've written a post on "Rainy days.. " On that particular post, I was kinda depressing and hopes that when the next rain comes, I'll be happily thinking of the old times. However, when the next rain came, I didn't feel any better.. and the next one came along and the next, the next, the next... I couldn't count how many rainy days have gone by... but I'm sure glad today's rain brought me something nice. :)
It was raining cats and dogs this morning. I was startled awake by the noise of the thunder and the sound of the raindrops on my rooftop... Tick-tack.. Tick-tack... And I thought it was time for me to wake up and prepare myself for class. And it turned out it was only about 5am. I went back to sleep, hoping to continue dreaming my beautiful dream earlier ( but the dream didn't came back.. >< )
When it was really the time for me to wake up, I was so unwilling to do so. I have to dragged myself out of my warm, comfy comforter and couldn't help thinking how tempting my bed is.
And once again, I enjoyed rainy day again after so long. Although rain sometimes brings back some unwanted memories, although there are times I feel moody when the rain comes without the presence of him, but rain is still good.
There will be sunshine after the rain, even better there's rainbow sometimes if we're lucky enough to see. ^^
Of course, like usual, rain brought me thoughts of him again, but they are all happy ones. He's fine now I hope, really fine....
It is such a cooling day with nice weather which I could sleep in all day.. Rain is after all very nice.. It has been raining for about 7 hours today... Nice weather indeed... But it's so cold in class... ><

2 more days to go...
2 more days to go...

Hi there! This is a personal space where I pour all my thoughts and mood posts into words. A place of serenity during sleepless midnights, and where I return to look at how far I've come and what had life gave me.
