Sematan Trip During Raya

3rd day of Raya, also the last day of Raya holiday. In the morning, I followed Sui Yin and the rest to visit an uncle's house. None of us know him except Yin. Haha! We were there just for the sake of rendang. But what disappointment splashed onto us. No rendang =( Only cakes and cookies. Nu! I've been craving for rendang ever since Ramadhan started. Didn't get to visit Fahriee's house cos he was away. Haiya! So sad there's no rendang this year.

After the visiting, the guys sent me home and they went for lunch at Siang Siang. Initially I didn't want to follow them go Sematan for day trip. But the kids pestered me so much that I had to give in. Hehe =) Yes kids can always make me nod my head. Never ever use kids to ask permission from me =P

And so the guys came back to pick me up after lunch. We all went up in Martin's car. The poor Vios. Skirts were all ruined after the trip. Hehe =)

Sisters! Look like me or not? Haha! So I'm being corrected by Kim. They're not my stepdaughters but my foster daughters. Right.

This is the first time the girls went into the swimming pool. I was very surprised that Clarice is no longer afraid of water. She used to cry whenever we're at the beach. Little girl has finally grown up =)

Gab was so excited to found the swimming floatie that has his name. Haha! The girls were having so much fun learning how to swim. *ahem* I'm their coach. Haha! But I went energyless after few rounds. It's really not easy!!! Hmm....would love to send the girls for swimming lesson. Hehe =)

Group photo in the pool~ Martin and Welly did not join us ler =( Sad case!

After pool session, time to relax and chill by the shore~ These girls really know how to enjoy themselves. Haha! We finally left at around 6.30pm and went to nearby coffee shop for dinner.

Fooooooooooooooooooooooooooooddddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We were so hungry that we finished all these and ordered for more. Haha!

More food! Taufu with jellyfish and curry squids!

The day was filled with laughter and a little emptiness in me. I've been avoiding the beach for a month. Wanted to drive all the way up to Damai many times but I quit. Because the beach always reminds me of someone. Someone I don't want to be reminded of. But that day when I was standing at the beach, yes memories did hit me. But later, I came back to reality. Came back to myself. The beach has always been my favourite place to chill out and just relax watching the waves. So why am I pushing it aside? It should be my comfort zone. Not my sad memory zone. So I'm back, to face the beach. Face my fear is how I overcome my fear =)

Anyone free to date me to the beach again? Heee~

Til next time~

Friends and Effort

Image
Friends. They come and go. Everyone cross path with you for a reason. Either to be your lifelong dependable friend or just to teach you a lesson. Some come and go as quick as the quicksand. Some stayed on for couple of months and take their departure once the mission completes. While some, is just a phone call away since day one.  So how do you know who belongs to which category?  The answer is, you don't. Living for 30 years, having friends for as long as 20 years, I realised that it is all about the effort. The phrase, 'It takes two to tango' is so accurate that it can even predict the rainy and sunny days. What kind of effort are we talking about here? We're talking about the effort to make friend(s) and keep up the effort to make that friendship last with even the smallest step. Have you ever thought about the effort you make? What did you do to keep that friendship? Or the effort your friend(s) made to meet up, to call, or merely just a simple text...

Dr Sun Yat-Sen's Resident

Chinese New Year is officially over. Gotta roll back to normal work days no matter how much you hated it. But well, it's another start! So heads up peeps! Stay strong for year 2011!!! The best has yet to come! Does anyone here knows who is the first president of China? Let me bring you back to history =D I'm a sucker in history subject in school but I think this vacation had taught me alot about China's history. I get to know who is the president, who is the patriot and who else is who. Some of you may say that this is boring but I think what's boring is just texts on books. Try going to a school where they bring you all over the historical place. I'll tell you it's fun! I'm lazy to introduce much. If you want more info, you can always ask Google. Haha! Here is Dr Sun Yat Sen's house in Guangzhou when he was young. Man this house stood there for over 200 years!!!! He was a Chinese doctor who then known as the Founding Father of Republican China...

Random Updates 12-07-2011

I feel like a lost lamb now. I just want to crap everything out and off. You know how life can be at crossroads at times? But man, mine isn't at crossroad now. It's as if I walked into a dark forest and can't find my way out. I've been feeling down and stressed and I don't know, maybe even depressed. I don't know who to talk to about this stuff. I can't talk about it to people around me cos they will all say about the same old stuff. What am I talking about? It's my career, my future. Previously I have goals and aims and future dreams. But it seems to have shattered into pieces cos certain reasons keep pulling me back. Back in secondary school, I dream of becoming an accountant. A chartered accountant just so I can do the easy job. Sign the documents and get paid for my signature. How easy is that and how stupid I was to even think that it's an easy course. So off I went to major in accounting and my life was peaceful. It was until college that eve...
