My life, My memory, My dream

Expired.

The person told me that my car wash member card needs renewal. So, it has been a year. Last year, the day when we were supposed to have a simple study date spoiled by a car accident and ended up in the police station. The day you stood with me under the drizzle and argued with the man who deliberately knocked into my car, and held my hand tightly in the police station cause' I was too scared, and finally paid for the membership renewal fees just to have that 3 layers polish to make the scratch looks less visible. I couldn't accept your money like that, so I insisted to pay on my own. You gave in by letting me only paying half. 

Already tired out with this unexpected event, but on the same night promised to go out drinking with the cousin sister, and a long time friend. Couldn't say no cause' the friend was gonna bring her boyfie and friends to introduce to us. 

"How's it there? Ok ma? Fun?"
"Boreddddddd. Miss u dy"
"How come -.-"
"Well... A bunch of strangers"
"Miss me oh.. Real or nt de..."
"U don't believe me oh. Don't wanna miss u dy"
" :((((( "
" :(((( "
" :(( "
"Let u miss me"
"Miss u.. Haiz"

Time passed. Your message came again.

"Bie, u better take care and go back early.. Now already 1 20"
"Bie... At last I also drank, but not much. Only a glass"
"-.- a glass... How big? Beer or shot? U ok?"
"I think I'm okay"
"U better have an early night bie... Drive slow k. Slooowly :)"

Back then, we said we missed each other. You made sure I make it back home safely if I'm out late night. Only a glass of drink made you worried. The care you showed were so sincere and real, that's why I still sometimes miss the old you, the old us.

However, not only the card, but our relationship too, expired.

Say hello to GUCCI!

Isn't she a cutie?
She seems to be accepting this new place as home and starts to response when I call her Gucci (a new name we gave her). Found this poor little thing on one of the weekends at grandma's place. It was a night with rain and lighting, and there she was wet and hungry hiding under the car. Couldn't leave her alone, so gave her food and bathed her. Then, we brought her home.

Mummy never liked pets, and sister is afraid. It's so difficult to keep this little monster with us, but they resented seeing how much daddy and I adore her. However, I know (somehow got this feeling), she's not gonna stay long with us cause' mummy will one day send her away. :( I do not dare to say or tell anyone that she's mine cause' once I claim ownership I know I'll be very upset when she leaves. I always tell people that she's only here at this moment, for now. I secretly hope she's going to stay with us permanently.


Lazing in the noon

Big-eyes fluffy girl :)

Feeling responsible now cause' I agreed with daddy to bring her home. Can't believe that there is this day, a puppy at home and having to clean her pee and poo. If she's here to stay, I'll give her the love and care she deserves. Promise. 


Totally engrossed with her new toy, ignoring me

The day she went out of the house, scared the hell outta' me. What if she went missing again and me never see her again? Got so mad that I scolded her for the first time ever since she's here (almost 2 weeks now).

She knows she's wrong


My everynight activity - to watch her sleeps soundly

I'll keep her with me for as long as possible. And if there's one day I couldn't do so anymore, I hope she's still being loved and cared feeling blissful, just like now.

One of those moody nights again, and your words kept appearing. 

"I'll always be here for you", you said. 
"Don't worry, I'm always here de", you told me. 
"Sayang.. I told you I'll always be here for you", you emphasized.
"Seriously dear... It's ok de.. I'm here", you assured me for the Nth time.

Because of the many times you told me so, I began to rely you more and more when I'm upset, unhappy or when I had problems. You encouraged me during my downfall, told me it's alright and everything's gonna be fine, sacrificed sleep and talked to me until morning when I couldn't shut my eyes, horrified that bad dreams would came. 

After so long, tonight I had the sudden urge to call you again. To tell you that I'm in a dilemma, feeling upset and moody. And then, I decided whatever happened to me shouldn't have anything to do with you. I swallowed that urge to call, together with the lump that formed in my throat. I can handle my own tears now; without you comforting me at the end of the phone line - only to hang up after you are sure my tears dried and I can finally go to sleep in peace.

Life is really getting a bit leisure, couldn't remember the last time I've watched so many movies. Was on a movie marathon it seems, been watching 3 movies in 3 days consecutively. 

Had a dinner and movie date with dear on Monday night. Our original plan to watch "Pitch Perfect" was changed to "Rise of the Guardians" due to inappropriate timing. But, I'm glad we did cause' I loved it. It reminds me of "Polar Express" which I've watched years ago before Christmas came too. On Christmas eve, a boy boards on a magical train which brought him an adventure to the North Pole where he reached Santa Claus's home. That movie too gave me a magical journey which awaken the child in my heart. "Rise of the Guardians" again reminded me of the little one in me. This movie tells about how the immortal guardians protect every child's innocence from the attack of the evil spirit, Pitch. It's a movie about children, hope, miracle, and love.


I wonder if I have a guardian too

The little elves that especially caught my attention with their cuteness


The next day, Tuesday, mum, cousin sis and I decided to have a hangout day. Mum's not cooking, so we gonna watch "Life of Pi" before dinner time. The storyline is about a survival of a young boy, Pi with a Bengal tiger, Richard Parker after their ferry sinks during a heavy storm. We watched the movie in a normal 2D screen. I think the movie would be very much nicer in a 3D cinema cause' the adventure was epic with beautiful blue sea, crystal clear water, whale, dolphins...

Especially love the sparkling blue sea at night


Finally, Wednesday I am able to watch "Cold War", which I've really wanted to watch some time ago. I need some time to really understand this movie with its confusing plot. However, it is a very entertaining action-packed movie, with police forces wanting to encounter the enemies from within. Plus point of this movie is it comes with many big casts, and there is a "Cold War II" to look forward to.

Only these people alone makes me wanna watch it,  even without knowing the storyline at first

20/11/12 - 24/11/12

It was a beautiful day to fly. Only Singapore I know, but we got all excited cause' it was our first time traveling together out of the country, boarding a plane at the international airport. We felt high-class :p We didn't really plan out an itinerary on where to go, or a schedule on what to do. What we wanted was just a spontaneous getaway, to walk around taking plenty of pictures, and to meet long-time friends. 

  
All ready to fly after sipping hot coffee

Orchard Road is beautifully lit up with bright Christmas trees, colourful lights, beautiful ornaments. We had good time taking pictures along the road, breathing in hot humid air. It was a warm night, with alot of smiles and laughter.

The warmest season is here soon. Even warmer with friends around.

Hello, Christmas. I can't wait =)

Was glad to have visited Universal Studio, meeting some of my childhood cartoon characters. It has been some time since I had an adrenaline rush during roller coaster rides. My age is catching up I can see. Never hesitated when I went up for the Spaceshot ride at Genting Highlands when I was young, yet can't help feeling nervous before the exciting rides at USS. Found my youth when I got down from the rides - seems like my bravery is still there. 


The Elmo team had fun at USS

We said to be each others' companions until the right prince comes along  || If  only fairytale  comes true, if only happily ever after do exists

Thanks to our newly recruited partner in crime - we had a place to stay (even took up his bed and used his lappie), had someone to bring us around, to help us carry stuff, provided us wifi hotspot which drained out his iphone battery so ever quickly, be a photographer, and a great playmate who made us laughed real hard. I'll host you properly when it's your turn to come visit, this I promise you. =)

Time flies. One year has gone. I've watched Breaking Dawn part 2. Again, like last year I've missed the front part cause' I was late to the cinema. After one whole year, I finally went and search for part 1 and watched what we've missed. The most romantic part, the wedding, the vow.

"Super late for movie laa.. Jam jam jam"
"Hahahaha.. Its really ok.. Movie not that important to me.. Its spending time with u."

So there you've said it. The movie wasn't important cause' I know you never really like Twilight. Which guy does seriously. I'm the reason that you bought the tickets to this show. I remembered asking you, will we be able to watch part 2 together. You said we will, you promised that we will.

Now, I've watched the ending without you. I wonder if you will watch it cause' you never like this movie. Or prolly' you will watch it, holding another girl's hand this time like how you held mine, and she resting her head on your shoulder like how I did.

well not mine but my dad's. Other than my birthplace (KL), Selangor, Seremban - I guess this is where I've mostly been to. Segamat, Johor a small town but packed with friendly and kind people. I've always wanted to know more about this place, to be close with the relatives because this is where my daddy grew up. It's a place he lived with grandpa and grandma, along with his siblings. A place where he spent his childhood days. Normally I only come back to here during "Qing Ming" festival, but today we are back for uncle's 60th birthday.

Time flies, all cousins are grown up - some with children on their own. It's always fun to gather with daddy's side relatives cause' it's always full of kids. Their innocent happy faces and laughter make me smile, sometimes thinking how good issit to be a kid again. The problems faced at that age would be "which color pencil to use when drawing", or "is there sweets for me after dinner". 


The Leongs

Nieces and nephews =)
Tiring to travel in a day to Seremban and Johor, then back to KL in the same day. But, I enjoyed every moment of it.

Last year (around) this time,

You were supposed to be here with me, with us for drinks. But, you had to get back to hometown immediately.
"I'll contact u de... Busy or not, I will msg or call u de... :)"
And you did.

When I was drinking,
"U take care k. Later if u cannot... Msg me, den keep msging"
"I will be alright, I promise. I don't wanna take up all ur time"
"Ish.. I've plenty of time de. Still got extra time for oso for u"
And so, I stopped drinking.

Had gastric post-alcohol effect,
":("
"Why the sad face?"
"Unhappy"
"How can I help?"
"U're helping le.."
"Did I helped? When oh?"
"By msging me and eating smt"
"Just now u said got sth important to do de? No need acc me eat de"
"Doing. Right now ^^. Msging u laa"
"Why u don't sleep? Ur friend sleeping dy"
"Waiting for u"
The gastric pain subsided, and I slept with a smile.

2 nights later, went to the club without you. Kept you worried in a batt-deprived state, finally used up the last 5% batt on me. After 12 hours,
"Hey.. Juz reached home /_\"
"U didn't sleep at all. It's time for u to get a long long shower then sleep for hours"
"Yeah... Gonna.. Msg u first ma.. Reach home straight charge hp"
So, you've missed me.

And why do I remember this particular day? Cause' it's the day you lost a very good friend, a day I thought I'm gonna lose you.

I wonder why I'm doing this. To read and recap all conversation between us. 
Prolly' cause' Christmas is near, prolly' cause' we don't talk anymore, or prolly' cause' I'm slowly forgetting you and I dislike that. 
By the time I reach an end of our conversation, maybe that's the time I'll be ready to put all these memories behind and then slowly forget them bit by bit. Just not now, yet. 

"Tell me, what will you do if there's many you?"
"I'll make everyone I care for happy"

If this is real, then maybe one of the many you will stay by side now. Just one would be enough.

It's the moment when memories sink in,
the moment when I start missing things and people from the past,
the moment when I wish I can travel back in time, to experience that same days, that same place, that same person, that same warmth, and to see the same smile.
.
.
.
.
It's also the same moment which vanished completely the next morning I wake up.

... tell me that and I might believe in you, since I was blinded by you before (not too long ago). Heard a lil' too many bad things bout' you recently, mixed feelings developed. A part of me which had let go felt so relieved to know that you are not someone worth to be upset at, another part of me couldn't really believe what I've heard cause' this is not the you I knew. However, there's no way to find out the real you, isn't it? We have lost the chance.

Sometimes, I wonder if there's a moment that you actually thought of me, the comfort I gave you, the special bonding we had. 
Sometimes, just sometimes, I miss your presence. I miss sharing my ups and downs with you cause' you have always been a great friend who stood by me no matter what happened. I miss someone who really knew me that well. 

Prolly' as time goes by, I shall bury all these feelings deep within and then meet someone like you in the future. Till' then, tell me if you still remember me, remember us.

cause' friends are finally leaving to different pathways. The letter finally came after months of waiting. It's weird that I still feel so heavy-hearted to see them leave when we all had been anticipating the letter. Couldn't believe that all of them have to go just like that once the letter arrived. We managed to have a gathering on the last weekend before they need to report themselves at respective states. All are scattered to different places - Pahang, Kelantan, Terengganu, Negeri Sembilan, Perak, KL. 

Ever since young, I learnt that friends come and go. Some stayed, some strayed and came back, and some never. Each separation left me with bittersweet memories, and I wonder when is the next time I will see these familiar faces again. And at the same time also wondering, when I meet these faces again, will they turn out to be strangers? But, one thing I'm sure - I'm not that afraid to get posting letter cause' I have them all over the place. 

Just, I'll be missing them so much, so very much.

yes I am. Cause' so many had happened for the last 2 weeks. Every minute, every second of the days were occupied with different things to do. There were ups and downs, but was never too happy nor too sad. I knew I had to control my emotions, not to let my emotions control me. Wedding, funerals, family drama, friendships -- all these made me learnt that I only live once. Prolly' all other little problems can be overlooked sometimes,because life is not always easy.

cause' I've stopped counting the days... No longer thinking how is life without you will be, because there is so much more important things to do. Attended the second wake in a month's time reminds me once again, how fragile life is. If we do not know how to appreciate each other's presence then staying away like now is the best option. Just a random message occasionally is enough for both of us to know that we are doing fine.

Learnt that happiness is not inevitable. Treasuring and appreciating people around me, who are still with me is the right thing to do.

Couldn't put everything in words, into a post for everything that occurred for the past one year. September last year onwards, I never deleted any of your whatsapp messages, phone texts, facebook messages, emails, and every little memory that we had together. Couldn't count how many messages we have sent - prolly' few hundred thousands of them. These few nights I've been reading back our conversations, trying to figure out how did our friendship developed. How did we let ourselves relied on each other so much - until the extend of making wake-up calls everyday? How did we managed to talked every single day without fail? How did we adapted ourselves to having each other then, and adapt ourselves again without contact today?

Spent some time to browse my timeline today, and then realised alot can happen in a year's time. My favorite part of timeline is when I found a comment or like from you. My heart still skipped a beat when I saw those old comments, as I unfold another memory. Then I spent a little more time to look at those old photos and thought, "Wow.. amazing". We've known for years, and yet our paths didn't really crossed until last year this time. Last year I wasn't blogging about you, and yet this whole year's blog you made the most appearance. But, I know this is not gonna last cause' I'm losing things to blog bout' you anymore. I don't know you like how I knew you before.
如果有一天我們變陌生了,那麼我就重新認識你. Is that even possible?

Sometimes, it's really weird how relationships grow among people. People meet, become close, and until one day it's time for parting ways - although there was this moment where we made promises like "Don't worry, I'll always be here for you". Fact is, we can only stay there as long as we can, but not forever. I'm grateful that in my life, there are some people who just never leave.

"Mina... Even when everyone doesn't trust me, u must trust me.. K?"
"Everyone else can think I'm stupid, immature or a bad person.. Only u cannot."
"Dear... I am really sorry if I made u angry or upset.. I tend to do that a lot..."
"I really like you also... But I know one day, sooner or later I'll make you unhappy. I'm afraid of losing you. I'm scared of losing you by making mistakes. I always make mistakes."
"Bie...Don't disappear k... U promised u wont submarine from me.."

All these words played repeatedly in the back of my mind. Like a rewind tape. From the bottom of my heart, I trust you. I believe you even if the whole world denies you. I told myself to ignore your mistakes cause' you told me you tend to make them, unintentionally. I promised I won't go away from you, and yet you forgot everything you've said. Because the one who's leaving is you.

I'm still searching for endless reasons and excuses to convince myself, and then the big bomb dropped.

"Dear, he is no longer that sweet guy who treated you like a princess last time ady."

Yes, I already knew but I need time to accept and digest these emotions. I probably just need a person to tell me out loud like this -- like a real hard slap on the face.

My heart is a heavy rock. Unmoved one.

and it was enough to pushed me away.

"Sorry, personal matters..."

I couldn't remember the last time you didn't wanna tell me about your personal matters because we were always telling each other everything. You never attempt to hide your feelings in front of me. You scolded and cursed when you were angry, you drank when you were upset, you were vexed when your mood came crashed down, you told me when you missed me... But, these days I don't seem to know what's running in your mind. You don't show your feelings anymore because you seems to be not feeling anything. No happiness, no sadness. Just emptiness, emotionless. We don't talk as frequent as last time, and even if we do talk - we run out of topics so quickly that I think you can't wait to put the phone down and finally say "Goodnight, bie".  

10 days ago, I said I'm leaving you because I don't want to be the one always left behind. The words I typed were slowly blurred. Once the tears started to flow, it wouldn't stop. After finished typing whatever I wanted to say, I cried even harder. It's like I'm really letting go. I don't know if this is what I want. I might just regret the next day when I wake up, I know. 

What you don't realise... For me, knowing everything about you is not necessary, but knowing that you are alright is more important. The more I'm staying away from you, the more I think about you. Wanting to know if you are upset or unhappy at this moment. Wanting to know if you are lonely. Wanting to know if you are forcing a smile in front of others when actually all you want to do is to sleep all day long. 

I think I'm missing you already...

just like that, without a word, without a trace.

Early morning I was awaken by loads of incoming messages. People wrote condolences, expressed how sorry and sad they were to hear the death news of yours. I was still in a blurred state, trying to reload earlier messages to find out who died. At that moment, I never thought it is someone I know, or at least someone I'm close with. People do tag and add me into thread messages randomly in FB, don't they? While I was tapping the reload earlier messages button, my phone rang. 

"Mina, did you get those messages?"
"I've seen but I still don't know who died."
"It's him. Our class monitor during form 4 and 5."

My throat formed a lump. So, it is someone I know. It is someone I'm close to. Couldn't speak another word, so I stayed quiet.

"Hey Mina, are u still there? Do you still remember him?"
"Yea, of course I do. What happened?"
"Car accident."

I placed the phone down. Tears streamed down my face. It was a very weird feeling. We were close, but the last time I saw you was 6 years ago. Over these years, we did kept in contact - only occasional. I thought time drifted us apart, but why do I cried so hard?

I didn't attend the wake at the first night. After that, I thought it was a good choice to go on the second night with dear and a few other friends, cause' the mourning should be very much lesser compared to the first night. I was expecting the worst - seeing people crying over your death, friends reminiscing the past, topics of you will just flow. However, the whole place was calm, and people are chatting. I saw friends that I last saw them ever since secondary school. It was like a school reunion day.

I dare not go over and look at you at first, but with a few friends together - dear and gathered our courage to have a last look before we finally say goodbye. The moment I saw half of your face, I backed off. It was too pain to continue. I swallowed my tears and walked out after I said RIP.

**Flashbacks**

"Happy Belated Birthday Dolphine!" - The birthday card you wrote with your messy handwriting. You even wrote a stupid birthday lyrics, which made me angry and laughed and the same time.

You: Hey yo! Long time no see!
Me: Hey you! Ages didn't see you...
You: No! You too arrogant to reply me.
Me: Since when I don't reply you?!
You: No. That's why now got bf different already.
.
.
.
.
You: Yo!
Me: Where are you now?
You: Pahang
Me: No need work ah?
You: In my car la
Me: Ur car??
You: Ya la.. Sleeping
Me: Huh.. And you are here now chatting with me? Not sleepy?
.
.
.
.
You: U sound like u're not in KL
Me: Haha.. There where did I sound like?
You: If I say u sound like an alien how?
Me: U la alien!
.
.
.
.
You: Hey are u married now?
Me: Huh.. Why the question??

Our conversation were always like that. Weird and abrupt cause' you always disappeared halfway. And now again, you left abruptly but this time you are not coming back. I know I won't receive anymore sudden messages from you, won't be hearing you calling me dolphine nor you will response to my sharks calling. But, I know you are at a better place now so I'm ready to let you go. The memories will stay, and that's enough. So long, my dear friend.

.... for both dear and I. She finished her exam, my mum went for a short trip. So... It's time to partayyyy! Like always, dear is coming over my place for the weekend stay. Planned for a quiet night out along with pillow talks (maybe) but interrupted by a friend's lure to club. According to our agreement, all my club visits should be accompanied by you, hence I asked for your company. Because of you, we are able to go without trouble, without having the need to sneak and drive out like rebellious teenagers (our age don't suit though) :/

My partner in crime
Came back home early morning, with tired bodies from all the dancing (in heels). Woke up 4 hours later, with sleepy faces and aching legs -- we had an important date to go. It's the reunion of the besties after 2 years. Caryn and Bin had been our long time best friends, we used to go for movies, shopping, brunches, dinners together until one day we stopped altogether cause' everyone's too busy to meet up. That's an excuse, of course. We just didn't put in enough effort I guess >.<
I thought the meet-up would be awkward, or prolly we won't have much to say, but time is not a distance afterall. Conversation just flowed once we meet. It's like gossip girls again :)

After 2 years -- we changed I think, not alot but we did

p/s: Last day to see you before you going back to hometown. Wonder when will we meet again. Take care, bie.

are not real. They don't exist. However, we just love those comics as kids, and now love those movies when we've grown up, don't we? 


Superhero #1

Christian Bale is still my favorite Batman character after being done by so many other actors. Like this movie even more when Anna Hathaway appears as the cool Catwoman. The villain's character -- Bane, was well made. Like almost everything about this movie, and it would have been better if you were there with me. :(


Superhero #2
A movie date with a long time friend. Known him for 8 years, and it's our first movie together. Due to my work until late night, we had to watch the midnight show. While waiting for the show to start, we sat and chilled over caramel frapp and coffee. I think I like caramel coffee now. :) We talked about everything during that 2 hours wait. From school to friends to work to relationships to life. We laughed and teased each other. Your reminded me of high school days, where we sat together in the lab, the days when we went to Genting, the time that you slept beside me and used your hand as a pillow for my head. I almost forgot it all until you asked "What your mum would have said if you told her you shared the sleeping place with other guys at Genting?" And I answered, "She didnt knew, and will never know" :p  

Movie was not too bad, with new Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy. But, I still prefer "The Dark Knight Rises" though.

your bestie tries to cheer you up, but pretending that she's not using any effort...







and yes, you are right. Someone else can make me upset, but it's just not you. Cause' you always know the way to lift up the curve on my lips even in my most upset days.

do hurt sometimes. In the midst of our argument, you told me that word is a powerful tool. It can ruins alot of perspectives if used wrongly. You are right -- cause' when I saw those words you typed,  my heart sank. The impact you had on me lost at the moment. What's done has been done. History class ended, but the lesson stayed.


So, says who that words do not hurt like sticks and stones?

Finally, the day has arrived. The day when all hard work is paid off. The day which marked the end of study life. The day when you all look smart in your graduation robes and mortarboards. The day you all receive your scroll accompanied with proud parents. 

The convocation day which I missed.


But, I am so ever proud of you all my loved ones :)


University life wouldn't be the same without you guys. It has been a great journey we shared.

I wanted to be there on your birthday, like how you did on mine. It's not easy to see you nowadays, and even more harder to be alone with you. I insisted to own your time on Saturday night, stubbornly wanted a meet up although I know you are tired. Dinner was simple and relaxing, quiet without the interference of others, only us chatting and laughing occasionally. 

It was only 11.30pm when you almost reached my home, 30 minutes more to your birthday! I need to buy some time, so it left me with no choice but to asked you to pull over your car. Time seems to have frozen when I need it to speed up. Finally, decided to just give you your pressies before 12am. But, I insisted to only say "Happy Birthday" when the right time comes. 

The moment you pulled over, memories came flooding my mind. We did that before, when you sent me home for the first time. We stopped at that same exact spot, talking in the car, enjoying each other's company. Your touch felt warm, the way you patted my head felt similar. It feels like the days we've just got close with each other. Then, I realized "Ah... yes. We've come this far." It's almost a year now. 

We continued chatting some more when midnight passed, and ended the night with a warm hug. Happy birthday, bie. This is the first birthday I'm with you alone, and probably the last one. I'm glad you like the pressies and my new fringe that I have. =)

Finallyyyy... I've got some photos to update my trip. It's supposed to be our their graduation trip, although it's not full attendance of Step G. but the trip was a fun one. No regrets going again after a year. This time I've been to a few more places that I have yet to explore during my first time there -- Chalong Temple, Ko Khai (Kho Pi Pi Island), Phang Nga Bay (James Bond Island). 


Left: Me upon arrival; Right: Taken by the pro

Two of my fav snapshots =)


The important people in life

Kho Pi Pi Island -- In love with those colorful umbrellas <3

Phang Nga Bay Island, a very very beautiful place indeed

It's time to leave. Bye Phuket!


Sometimes, going for a trip, it's the company that counts. I had a lot of fun with these people who always create endless laughter and joy. Thank you all for giving me such a memorable trip during the last year of our studies. I don't know when is the next time, but do take care till' we gather again. I don't get tired looking at these photos cause' they remind me of the happy times we shared. Love you guys to bits! 


I swallowed the lump in my throat, and refrained myself from shedding tears when I'm writing this cause' I just miss you all so much.

Terms and Conditions: Section 5.3 Paragraph 2:
Clubs-visits must be accompanied by 'you'. From the 'you-me' agreement.

It might be only me who remembers this, hence I am trying to adhere to this as much as possible - although I know there's no need for it. You'd probably think I'm silly but a promise is a promise. I wouldn't wanna break it until the day when I couldn't keep it anymore.

Just don't like it when you are not by my side when we are in the club (probably you hugging other people also)

Yes. It's the same feeling I felt when I knew I failed and couldn't graduate in time. Seeing happy faces around me, excited for their convocation, signing papers of retreating university, paying for their robes and mortar boards -- I can't help but to feel that slight tinge of sadness deep down in my heart.

However, I am happy for you all, I really am. Really really am.

So far as I recall, dear and I have never worked together before -- despite us knowing for 12 years already. We've always had different part time jobs ever since high school. Hence, these 3 days of free-lance work is a new experience for us. 

Working for an exhibition (maybe not all, only our boss) requires no skills. All we need to do was stand and smile, and be able to talk a few lines. Our job was easy, to make customers know our existence by giving out catalogues. So, by the end of the third day, our jaws and legs were sore from all the sweet smiles and standings. However, we did not regret or complaint cause' it's a money-making experience. Also, we made a few friends and the happiest thing was, we had our Phuket Starbucks tumbler engraved with our names. That's a bonus. =)


KLIGP, heard of it before?


After work on the 2nd day, we had dinner with Ti. We insisted to have a cheaper meal cause' we worked so hard for our money. Then we decided to chill out at this newly opened shop "Bora Bora". The drinks were okay but too sweet for our liking. Do ask for less sweet if you go! And as usual, Ti brought us so much laughter that we forgot not to smile although our jaws were kinda sore.
Dinner and bubble-tea session with Ti 


Last day of work, when you finally text me after sooo long. I was surprised that you made a sudden appearance cause' I didn't know that you were coming back today. Again, can't help smiling though' I shouldn't be. How could I not smile seeing you coming all the way from PWTC to Bukit Bintang, just for an hour's dinner. Like you said, it's good to meet up again. Can't agree no more. Thank you for the dinner.

It's amazing how time flies. I could still remember the small cheeky faces of my niece and nephew, and now they have grown up so much -- even capable to come over my place to spend their one-week holiday. Unfortunately, I didn't turn out to be a good host as I was sick on the day they arrived! However, I did made it up for them after 3 days in bed.

So, she did grew up looking a lil' like me =)

I couldn't really think of places to bring them nor any activities that I could do with them. As much as I hate to admit, generation gap does exist :/  I thought of you the moment the children asked for a game of bowling. I seriously can't play bowling! Also, I didn't get to meet you when I was sick, and it's the last day you here before going back to your hometown. I felt the need to meet you before you leaves, and I certainly can't leave the children at home. The whole situation left me with no choice, but to go out all together. I was kinda glad we did that cause' I had you to play arcade games and bowling with them. I lost all my energy from the sickness. 

Thank you for being there, when I'm too sick to entertain the kids 
A day before the children leave, we woke up early to get tickets to the Petronas Twin Towers Skybridge. I knew there are a lot of people queuing for tickets daily, but I never expected such huge crowd, however we are the only local "tourists". I do feel like a tourist today -- went up the skybridge, snapping photos, getting maps and looking at directories, taking public transportation (I've never get on a lrt for years). 

Curious on how much they charge tourists for the Skybridge tour? (It used to be free)
For Malaysians - RM25 (adult), RM12 (kids below age 12)
For foreigners - RM80

Few snapshots at the skybridge
Then we went for Madagascar 3. Perfect movie to watch with the kids. We had good laughs during the Afro Circus Polkadot song. That few lines stuck in my mind for the rest of the day. Lol! 

Good stress reliever :)

Dropped by for a cute drink + snapping photos

Bedtime for the kids

... I am here to write again. I've waited photos from friends to update a post on my Phuket trip, but sadly I still didn't get em' till' now. So, I've decided to update on that again when i finally get hold of the photos. 

A lot had happened in the past 3 weeks. Exam results were finally out during my vacation in Phuket. Couldn't really believe my eyes when darling sent me an image of my results. I've passed my final exam finally. (oopss.. Have another paper to go >.<) I'm glad that all my beloved friends made it to graduation, though' I'm feeling a lil' disappointed at myself for not making it with them. I merely missed it with only a 2 credit hours paper. Can't hide my sour feeling when they are happily discussing about convocation, and settling their deposit fees, taking transcripts, collecting gowns. However, the good thing is I gain extra 6 months of free time, sufficient to do things that I've always have no time to attend to. And, I know these people will come for my convocation too. =)

It seems the members of Step G. have stronger bond after the Phuket trip. I find myself constantly missing them now and then, and there's a need to keep in touch with them every 2-3 days or so. How could I get used to life without them in the future? I guess I need to adapt. 

Time flies, too fast. I'm not ready to bid farewell, yet.

Yes. It's the last, I know. Cause' you and I both knew that you won't stay forever. I wanted you to remember the moment when our hands touched, the way we held them, the gentle strokes I left on your hand. And so, I gathered all the courage I had and said "I want you to remember the feeling of us holding hands, and bury it deep down in your heart forever" before I took your hand. As gently as you always are, you slipped your hand into mine. That was all I needed at that moment, a piece of memory for us to reminisce in the future. 

It's time to let you go. Some people just never belongs to me. Never was, never will. And you are one of them.

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.



Live well, laugh more, love much. X
