Hmm. I never knew guys can look really really good in checker shirts. Hehe.
Chap Goh Meh this year coincides with mum's bdae. So we had a feast at Merdeka's. Feast, as in my waistline had increased at least a few inches. Fuh, I couldn't even walk straight after the meal. haha! Had to suck in my tummy on the way out...all because we didn't want to waste the money.
It's funny how I never knew also that today happens to be the Chinese version of Valentine's. Wow...people actually do throw mandarin oranges into the river or sea. Weird tradition. Do they expect the fish god or something to grant them a partner? Or is there an explanation to this myth that I don't know of?
world on fire
What went on today: Dad's bdae (no cake though, just simple dinner), last minute reading notice (aiks), last minute (again!) keyboard notice, Unca Chris's bdae celebration, Darryl back for hols, great round of badminton, and NEW pair of sport shoes. All was equally fun and had made this day fairly exciting. haha!
Yep, Darryl's back from UK (no...not Ulu Kapit la) for a 1 week holiday break. Very short, eh. Hmm...to me, he hasn't changed a bit. He still has that cool rugged look. Always a spiritual, God-fearing person. Very warm person, too. hehe. Apparently, he's found a job there as a civil engineer. Monthly salary: 1100 pounds. Woah...
Anyway, he shared with us about choices. Yep, that simple thing that we have to make every single second. Whether we realise it or not, we are surrounded by choices everytime. We choose what to wear, what to say, what to eat etc. But do we know how important each and every single decision we make? Before I get out of topic, main thing is that every choice we do must be a reflection of God in our lives, so that others can see and will follow and respect us.
Here's a song from 1 of my fav artists, Sarah McLachlan. "World on Fire". A song about what REALLY is happening in our corrupted world today, urging us all to help play our small part to make this world a better place to live in.
Hearts are worn in these dark ages
You're not alone in this story's pages
Night has fallen amongst the living and the dying
And I try to hold it in, yeah I try to hold it in
The world's on fire and
It's more than I can handle
I'll tap into the water
(I try to pull my ship)
I try to bring more
More than I can handle
(Bring it to the table)
Bring what I am able
I watch the heavens and I find a calling
Something I can do to change this moment
Stay close to me while the sky is falling
Don't wanna be left alone, don't wanna be alone
Hearts break, hearts mend
Love still hurts
Visions clash, planes crash
Still there's talk of
Saving souls, still the cold
Is closing in on us
We part the veil on our killer sun
Stray from the straight line on this short run
The more we take, the less we become
A fortune of one that means less for some

to blog or not to blog
Hmm...busy week ahead. Played keyboard for prayer meeting just now, practise tomorrow, Friday nite session, then line dancing practice on Saturday nite. Leaving less and less family time and personal quality time. That's when I begin to choose whether to please others or just be a lil more selfish to cater my own needs. Oh well.
Just realised how many frens I have made the past years thru the Net, mainly from Friendster and msn Messenger. (Not) surprisingly, almost all of them are guys. Hmm. It's amazing how easy it is to make new frens now, regardless of where they live. Recently, I chatted with this guy from Kl, and it turned out that he was an ex-classmate of princess pei pei... and his hometown is Kuching. haha! Funny thing is, I added him coz I thought he's another fren of mine who owns the same Christian name. So I guess it's a pretty small world after all.
Valentine's Day- what a romantic (ahek ahek) day for lovers. Yet it was a sad day for dear mr Kevin. haha. Why? He left his suitcase and coat at the front seat of his car. A while later, he found his car window smashed open, some cash and belongings gone. Yup, all on valentine's day. Oh yeah, the robber even took all his ang-pow money. Owh... cheer up kev!

those were the times when my mind doesn't function properly
What's the big deal about Valentine's Day anyway? Couples exchange gifts, most probably chocolates, roses, and cuddly bears...just for the sake of doing it.
A guy who came to my mum's shop bought 3 over-expensive recipe books for his wife. My guess is, his wife's reaction would be, "Wah, so expensive ar! Why need to 'kai lui' on these things... " Sha's bf bought (more) chocolates for her, when she's eager to lose some weight. Yup, guys are weird. They want girls to look pretty yet give them chocolates. Sigh...
Anyway, what I'm trying to point out is Valentine's Day is too commercialised. Ok, blame me for not being a romantic person. Well, at least I still have a present from, surprisingly, the least expected person. Hmm...
The youths went to Unca Peter's new home last Sunday for a swim at the pool. All of them except me. Don't really know what happened to me, but I didn't feel like packing for extra clothes before that. As a result, I have no clean clothes to change into and decided NOT to swim. Idiot. Everyone was asking, "Eh, why are you not joining us?" The whole afternoon, I missed out on all the fun... Sigh sigh. But it's funny watching the guys diving into the pool in silly ways. haha! The surprise was meeting Gloria (n probably her bro) who were visiting nearby... Anyway, moral of the story for me: Think twice before making any decision next time.

home SWEEEEET home
oooKAY. Real bloggie now. If that makes any sense. Nevermind.
Just came back from Sibu CNY celebration today. Reached Kch around 3, damn tired. But still found the stamina for music practise at 4 pm. How incredible- my fingers are not as stiff as I had expected. Right after practise, went straight to join the youths for visiting at Stef's place. Then head to Unca Dennis' place, unca Peter's new home, and Bernard's mansion.
Waoh...was totally captivated by unca Peter's new apartment at Batu Kawa. Had no idea that there were sooo pretty houses around that area. There's even a huge pool and lounge for relaxing moments just behind the apartment. Cooool. Daphne is so excited about going swimming tomorrow afternoon. haha! It's a great place for outdoor bbq too... hehe. Hopefully we'll have home cell there next time... can enjoy the nice scenery. Lionel says he already booked the apartment next door to stay there 10 years later. haha!
As usual, CNY at Sibu is always exaggerated. Foochow folks there play fireworks like nobody's business. No doubt, the sky is full of pretty firework displays the whole night, esp during cny eve. The trip to Sibu this time was surprisingly hysterical. Had always thought Agfa laughs like a mad person, but yi-yi can laugh at even the slightest things... haha! Turns out that dad's car plate number is so famous at Sibu... looong story though. ;)
