in loving memory..

it's been a year.

i wish, it had not happened.
if only time can turn back,
and things can be reversed,
all i wish,
is to see you again.

memories,
it will forever remain,
locked deep inside my heart,
no matter how hard
i may try to forget,
it will never go away.

you are a dear friend,
i don't understand why it had to happen.
why you had to suffer all that,
why you had to leave so early.
tears was all there was..

memories of you,
forever leave tears in our eyes.
but i thank you,
for those beautiful memories,
for giving us a chance to know you.

we miss you always.
and we will always remember you,
deep in our hearts.

in loving memory of you dear friend..

finally able to...

meet Soon Ying..

Soon Ying came down to Ipoh last Wed night n she went back to KL today morning. so was able to meet up with her at JJ yesterday. it's been ages since we last met. a year ago. we have never failed to meet up every year despite the fact that we're miles apart. she's always been my bestie, a friend i really trust.

so we met at JJ at 2.30pm. kor kor followed too :) headed for a movie at 3pm.
we watched The Taking of Pelham 123. it's an 18PL action movie. i enjoyed it. to me, it's kinda hearttaking beneath all the violence. it's worth watching..

poor us felt cold inside the cinema, esp Soon Ying. haha. n the large popcorn we bought to share, 3 ppl also couldn't finish it. in the end, i tried to eat but was too full, my appetite all gone also coz my stomach was all filled with popcorn. it's like u can feel the popcorn inside, haha, nah, i'm over exaggerating. LOL.

after movie, first stop was of course, the toilet. haha. then we walked around JJ for a while then went to Black Canyon for a drink. i notice, from all my outings to JJ, i always never fail to end up in Black Canyon. haha. but the food there's good, i like Black Canyon food.

my Watermelon frost

was playing around with my camera.
i like the effects. the focus on the watermelon. LOL.
nice :)

Soon Ying's Expresso
to me, it looks so cute. haha.

us :)
scent and flavor. haha.

had a long long chat at Black Canyon. exchanged stories. catch up. we were in Black Canyon till 7.30pm. then went to Tung Ku Teng beside Woolley there for dinner. but almost everyone had no appetite. haha. coz we were like half eating n half drinking here n there. lol. there, chit chat. then almost 10pm, had to send her back. gonna miss u loads dear.. i'll be looking forward to seeing u next year. take care.. muaxx..


my missions trip to India is coming up in a weeks time.. so kinda busy now, preparing n stuff. i feel the excitement, but at the same time, i dunno why, i feel scared, like dunno what to expect. but it's ok. i know the Lord who is my Strength is with me and will never leave me. so i'm fine :) Hehe. i'll be looking forward to it. will leave to KL on 31st July n will fly off to India on 3rd August. safe journey to the China Missions team who just left for China today.

God bless, everyone..

Reunion..

went to meet my teacher, Pn Murizan today for lunch. she's my closest teacher, back in secondary school when i was actively involved in the Librarian Board n became the AVA (Audio Visual Aids) Head. she's one of the librarian teachers n she's the AVA Teacher so that's how i got close to her. she teaches History n Moral real well, one of the best dedicated caring teachers i've met throughout my entire school years. but too bad, she got transfered to another school, although she tried her very best to object. what a pity.. after she got transfered, i never went back to school to hang out in the library the whole morning like how i once did. miss those days..

well, i never fail to meet her every summer hols. hehe. so, me, Kuen May n Benita met her for lunch today at Laksamana Cheng Ho at Greentown area.

after lunch, went back to school for visit. but then, everyone left school d, left only the afternoon session ppl. so just took a quick peak at the library. it's has changed again. like every year i go back to visit once, there's sure to be a change there. haha. then went to say Hi to Mrs. Lee too, the current principal which happens to be my Aunt. LOL.

and as i've promised Kuen May n Pn Murizan to post the photos, here are they.. hehehe..

Pn Murizan n Kuen May

Pn Murizan n me

looking forward to our next meeting again.. oh ya, Pn Murizan's daughter so happen shares the same birthday with me, October 12. and my AVA assistant, Kit Yin's birthday is on the same day as well. what a coincidence. we found out back during school days. haha.

ASM..

yesterday, 7am, went to Maybank which was right beside ASNB. for what? to line up to buy ASM shares. actually, this is not my first time experiencing this. i experienced it with my mum a few years ago on the day i took my SPM results.
dad told me n kor kor to go and open an account n put in money for both of us n at the same time, top up for my mum n younger bros account as well. so, we went. got up early in the morning. n when we reach there, there was ady a line of ppl waiting at Maybank, and ASNB beside Maybank, was ady full with ppl waiting inside n outside. oh my goodness.. we line up at Maybank, the line was much much shorter, they wrote our names down which they will call later at 9.15am when the bank opens, our names were on the 1st page itself, thank God.

so we managed to get all done at around 11am. lucky the shares have not run out yet. you can say, it wasn't much of an inconvenience compared to the last round.

well, i guess, the reason why ppl rush n get up early to fight for it is coz of the 6% interest per year compared to the bank's 2% for a fix deposit account. no wonder the crowd of ppl. it was kinda an experience waiting there. i saw the ppl's excitement. and a granny caught my attention. her hair was all white except for a few strands of brown n black hair. you can say she's old but she so energetic. she's like the most excited person among the entire crowd, chatting away with other ppl talking about the ASM. even right up to the time her name was called to settle wat she needed to and even after that, she was happily going for one person to another talking about the excitement of ASM, from what i observed, it seemed to be her new made friends there.

well.. it was an experience.

after all that done, had to settle my vaccinations to go India. so went GH Ipoh. went to enquire. they ask me to go another outpatient clinic there to ask, n the outpatient clinic asked me to go to Jelapang Clinic. so i literally went to 3 healthcare centres. finally got my Typhoid injection there for RM20 n the Malaria prescription of doxycycline for free. hehe. thanks to a nice Malay guy at the Survelan Department who helped. now left the prescription for Mefloquine which i'm yet to ask Dr Lai. and maybe might need to take the Tetanus-diphtheria if he advice me to do so too.

Day 1

reach Penang, went for lunch. bro brought us to one of the famous char kuey teow. waited sooo long for it, an hour plus at least, proven la famous. and i was shock at the price, RM6.50 per plate. sooo mahal. conclusion*: Penang food is expensive! HAHA. besides char kuey teow, we had fried oyster egg, ice kacang, otak-otak for starters.. the char kuey teow was ok for me, to me, there's nothing so great about it that i have to wait an hour more for it. Ipoh's one is yummy too. LOL.

char kuey teow..

fried oyster egg.
BUT i still prefer the one in Ipoh, at Canning Garden. LOL.

ais kacang. RM3.50 = expensive.
to me, nothing too great too. Ipoh's one is good. haha.

after lunch, went to Queensbay. it's the latest mall in Penang, crowded with ppl. went SHOPPING. whee.. MegaSale everywhere. and the sale there was CRAZY. so many stuff on sale, discounts up to 70%. so ended up buying 3 shirts and a black top. all discounted. haha. helped my bros choose jeans. whole family shopped for clothes. was quite tired after that also, walked too much. Queensbay's big.

6pm, left the mall. went to meet Qu Wern. we put up the night at his grandpa's house. super nice n comfy house. thanks lots Qu Wern. it was great to see u again. haha. dinner, Qu Wern brought us to a chinese restaurant. had an amazing dinner. thank you daddy.


after dinner, was suppose to go to Feringgi Beach pasar malam, but unfortunately it was raining heavily. it was raining heavily since before dinner. so, plan kinda spoiled. so we just went back n watch astro n chit chat. haha. slept at 2.45am.

Day 2

went to Penang Wesley for church service. met Wei-An and Yue Yi. it's been ages since i last saw them, like 4 years ago since they left our church. next, headed to Balik Pulau to eat durian!! haha. took a long drive there coz it's far. Balik Pulau is actually a hilly area. stopped by one of the stalls to have durian. the person recommended 2 types of durian: Amy Yip and Red Prawn.

durians!!

Amy Yip

Red Prawn

i prefer the Amy Yip type. but my bros prefer Red Prawn. haha. the durian was so tempting till my younger bro couldn't help but eat though he had mouth ulcer. haha.

the view from Balik Pulau. spot the sea..

rambutans on the tree..

and durians on the tree..

after durian, went to Batu Ferringgi Beach. wanted to go for jet ski, but sea was too rough, not advisable to do so, so in the end tak jadi again. sad case right.. but nvm, went there enjoy the beach wind.. and watch those huge waves.. they're really huge, as tall as a person. went shop for beach pants too.. LOL.

huge waves..
the huge wave covering the guys on jet ski behind.
can only see a little of their heads if u look carefully.

me, daddy, david

after spending quite some time chilling by the beach, went to Gurney Plaza. went for a light lunch at 3pm, coz that time our stomachs still kinda full with the durian. haha. daddy took us chili's to eat, for the first time.

Fajita Nachos chicken

Caleb Club Sandwich

Firecracker Fish.
i love the sauce. yummy.

Grilled chicken. the mashpotatoes good.

happy people enjoying the food :)

the men of the family.. :D
David's dummy looking face. haha.

after lunch, walk a bit in Gurney Plaza then headed back to Ipoh..

on the highway, almost reaching the tunnel part, the car overheated. we thought the pipe or something burst, coz we tried adding water but the water we added somehow seemed like it flowed out coz there was literally water draining out unto the road. scary experience to be stranded by the highway. called the mechanics and the insurance company, wanted to arrange for a tow truck to tow the car back. the position our car was just beside the road like that was so dangerous. we remembered the incident that happened to someone we know years ago. prayer was all we could do.

we waited... PLUS came along the way. they tried adding water. then dunno how the PLUS guy said it was ok ady. there was enough water. so we started the enjine and checked the temperature. it was back to normal, seemed like there wasn't anymore water draining out anymore, so we continued our journey back... car was ok throughout the journey. really thank God for the safe journey..
