Nostalgic,

Monday, December 16, 2013 / BY MINA LEONG
when this time of the year comes again - the rainy cold nights, the lonely working moments, the busy-ness and frustration that seems to never leave, the missing heart wanting to hear from you. Perhaps, just perhaps time passes by too quickly but the memories didn't fade as quick; the only reason I can think of why I'm still having you in the back of my mind.  I miss our Christmas moment - our only...

No more about "last Christmas I gave you my heart...." cause' now it's another year passed.  So the heart has not really stop missing you, just sometimes temporarily forgets. Merry Xmas bie, you've said. ...

How's life recently?

Sunday, December 08, 2013 / BY MINA LEONG
Couldn't be sure if this is what I want in life, all I know I'm having the same routine and meeting the same people everyday. Life is good, not complaining instead counting my blessings whenever I can. Somehow I crave for something new in life, something fresh cause' later on I will be too old for excitements. Secretly, I asked in my heart too - How are you doing these days? ...

When someone leaves,

Saturday, October 26, 2013 / BY MINA LEONG
all left behind were the mourning loved ones, memories and ashes.  Friday morning at work, received a devastating news - uncle finally passed on after so many months of sufferings. Coming in and out of the hospital, having to do regular HD and waiting for an open heart surgery all made him tired. In fact, too tired for his old age. Maybe it's really time to move on to a better place. It's alright, we...

My Day Has Come,

Sunday, October 13, 2013 / BY MINA LEONG
The one day that I've been waiting for the past so many years, so do my parents. After all the obstacles and hardwork, I'm finally up the stage to get hold of my scroll. Not anything to brag about cause' everyone's doing the same thing but at least I know I made my parents proud. My mum cried for me when I was up there. Pharm was never an easy course, and now it turns...

It's so easy to think of you, even after all these while. Just a mere mention of your name sends a signal to my brain and all memories start to unfold themselves again. Had a night's chat with dear and told her that she should let go and come clean. Then I start asking myself too, have I completely let you go too? Answer is maybe not. Cause' I start to miss talking to you...

About Time,

Saturday, September 28, 2013 / BY MINA LEONG
has to be the best movie I've watched for this year. Or maybe including the year before and after. So good that it provoked my writing mood again (after all this while) even at this hour. It had been some time I've been so moved by a movie, so into it -  I didn’t wanna leave the cinema even when the movie ends. I've always love funny and touching movies, especially those make me cry...

Late night on a weekday,

Thursday, September 12, 2013 / BY MINA LEONG
cause' nothing beats the excitement of planning a holiday with the family. Miss me while I'm gone. p/s: Months and days of not updating, I'm missing non-working days. ...

Teary eyes,

Sunday, July 21, 2013 / BY MINA LEONG
seems to come more frequent recently. I thought my tears dried up for quite some time but somehow they just return without warning. A simple story, a touching song and a lil' depressing thoughts sent my tears down, even when I'm driving. Dangerous, I know but just couldn't help it. Perhaps it's stress from work, or maybe it's just hormone imbalance.  p/s: Mental note to self: To post all backdated posts when I'm free. ...

Recap: Perhentian Trip

Monday, June 03, 2013 / BY MINA LEONG
Skydiving Bungee jumping Diving 26.4.13. One of my dream goals checked. Nope, Perhentian wasn't a relaxing beach trip, but to go and get my open water diving license. It wasn't as difficult as I've thought but still it is an achievement as I overcome my fear and the panicky me.  Starbucks, the perfect wake-up call before flying off Day 1: A beautiful view welcoming me upon arriving  Day 1: This was a relaxing day of...

Oath-taking ceremony 2013'

Sunday, May 19, 2013 / BY MINA LEONG
18.5.13. My turn, finally. I wasn't particularly nervous during the rehearsals, thinking prolly' I would be when the right day comes.  But then, nervousness never came nor the anxiousness. Only the feeling of regret where I couldn't be with my own batch of friends, not sharing the same happiness of graduating together cause' we've been battle mates for 4 years (yea, pharmacy course is like a war). Sitting there looking at the slides prepared by...

Me birthday.

Wednesday, May 15, 2013 / BY MINA LEONG
Taken and arranged by my lovely dear :) Like everyone else, I too grew up. My 26th birthday this year (quietly telling myself to not celebrate anymore birthdays after 30 - oopsie, another 4 years!) Well, maybe not. Birthdays always give me warm memories with my loved ones.  Birthday morning was greeted by Terrina by the gate. Came here to do a birthday hair-do for me so that I could go out prettily later. As...

Show Luo Over the Limit 2013 World Live Tour

Wednesday, May 08, 2013 / BY MINA LEONG
Super clear view of a middle seat  4.5.13.  The only picture I've got before the opening of the show cause' phone was dead, reminds me that I needa get pictures of his concert from dear. Can't believe I totally forgotten that I've been to his concert two years ago cause' dear got free tickets from a friend who works in Galaxy. Again, this year dear got those free tickets again (called me if I wanted...

Monday, May 06, 2013 / BY MINA LEONG
Not a date easily forgotten since it's just merely ten days away from my birthday. My first time participating in the general election (GE), excited to be part of the people who cast the votes. Everything about 'ubah' makes things even more interesting compared to all the other GEs that had been held before.  Before casting my vote, I was thinking about my position as soon-to-become a government servant, on whether the opposition is ready...

Again,

Friday, April 26, 2013 / BY MINA LEONG
I am back at this place in less than a year. What happen to good people nowadays? Why do they leave us so early, so young... Just 8 months ago I was there sending Jeremy off (ironically a best friend of yours) and that was the last I met of you. As always, you gave a warm, tight hug the moment you saw me. That was the way I remember of you. A person so...

If you could hold on to just one memory, what would it be? I couldn't decide cause' there are too many to be called as favorites (from a kid until full-grown now). But, if you ask me what is the one memory between us that I want to reminisce, then I know the answer to it without a doubt. That would be the first time when you held my hand in the car, almost dawn, coaxing...

To stay or to leave?

Friday, April 12, 2013 / BY MINA LEONG
Finally, I've got some idle time to think about my posting. A month ago when I received my first letter from SPA, I didn't have the slightest feel of being worried or anxious. But, as time passes the more I'm becoming impatient of the arrival of my posting letter (can't help wondering where will I get although I know there's no point wondering at all). At first, I was wishing so much that I'll get...

Quickie

Friday, April 05, 2013 / BY MINA LEONG
Recently things are not going good for the family. Dad's cough became terribly uncontrollable and finally admitted to the hospital on Monday night. This is the first ever time I saw the weak sight of daddy, cause' he's always the strong one at home (everyone gets sick but he doesn't). Seeing him falling sick is like seeing a pillar of strength comes falling down. I finally realize that age is catching up with daddy when...

Thursday, April 04, 2013 / BY MINA LEONG
Almost an April Fool's baby, he was born on April 2nd. Prolly' because nearing to this date, that's why he's a witty charming baby boy.

Becoming one - learning how to talk, how to walk is the cutest age ever.  Baby boy's one year old birthday cake The happy parents :) Eyeing only...

Macau-Hong Kong Family Trip

Sunday, March 24, 2013 / BY MINA LEONG
Finally... In the mood (and time) of writing a long post with photos attached (all will make you salivate, so do not read this if you're currently hungry :p). Time always slipped away quietly, passing day by day. Although it was my 3rd time going Hong Kong but I was really looking forward to it cause' it has been such a long time since a whole complete family of mine going for a vacation. I've...
