what's the best thing to do?
every time when i'm about to try to let you go, you just walk into my life again..
how do you expect me to move on with my life? 
someone please tell me..

i wonder why im so dumb and careless. sigh. im just so screwed this semester.

How I wished....

As I entered the hall for my Corporate Finance lecture today, I found a spot two rows from the front. Then, came a young gentleman, and he sat beside me throughout the lecture..ahh..what a handsome young man. with electric blue eyes, and blondish-brown hair. *meltsssss* How I wished he talked to me.. But, certainly, it was one of the best days of my lectures, sitting next to him :) I'll never get the same opportunity again in future. So, today was one of those lucky days I have :)) 

11 SEPTEMBER 2011

Dear blog,

Today's such a memorable, meaningful and joyous day that I couldn't express how happy I feel! The joy and gladness I had today is just simply priceless! Well, what happened? Basically, Aunty Jean hosted a party to celebrate mine and Sam's birthday today. So we invited all our family to the house, and I got to invite some of my friends over too! :)) So I called Socks, Chen, Shaun and William :)) Anyway, yeah, so we absolutely had the most precious time today with everyone here before they all make their trip to Malaysia on the 14th :) Have fun guys! and safe flight :)

Although it's not my actual birth date yet, I've already received so many gifts from everyone! How sweet and lovely :)) thank you so much everyone. You make me feel so at home and I've never even thought that you were my second family actually. To me, we're all a family :) doesn't matter if it's 1st, 2nd, 3rd or whatsoever :) <3 I hope everyone enjoyed themselves today. :) and the lovely foood, gosh. there was plenty! :D 

p/s: Aunty Jean, I LOVE the purse very much!!! :)) you know my taste, don't you? :)

Signing off with love,

Christine, the happiest girl today :)

You've made my night after all the tiredness I had from the assignments. But by being able to see you from afar, I'm really glad and satisfied. thankyousomuch! :) and yes, i did dream of you like you asked me to too. :))

Sonnet 18

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May

And summer's lease hath all too short a date

Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines

And often is his gold complexion dimm'd

And every fair from fair sometime declines

By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd

But thy eternal summer shall not fade

Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest

Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade

When in eternal lines to time thou growest

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see

So long lives this and this gives live to thee

my favourite sonnet

So simple, yet so sweet of how he kept his beloved alive through these words :)

Longing for you..

I've been alone for way too long..

I've always wanted someone by my side..

let me share my joys and pains with you..

I wish you appeared soon..

It's painful to keep everything to yourself..

Having known that there's no special someone for you out there..

You just want to be loved and appreciated..

What makes you feel better than striking lottery?? I'll tell you what it is. well, It's when you are in Australia, and you receive a lovely letter from your close friend all the way from his hometown in the overseas.. that's the best that i could ask for. it's just simply the most awesome feeling when you get that letter. wanting to open it, but at the same time, dont wanna rip it apart. :D curious about whats written on that letter :))) Thank you, my dear friend, for that lovely letter. its just one in a million y'know. :) xx

you made my day (:

Something made my day today though. At least I know that my effort did not go to waste at all :) Perhaps the dream I had yesterday was meant for this? Wished we could keep in touch always..Anyhow, it went like that: 

"Christine, can you tell me your add. in Aust later you get a place to stay? I want to send a letter for you! :)Actually few days ago, Kurts handed me a letter from you! It was the most awesome letter I've ever gotten before!! The longest one with full of your heart!! I really really thank you for that awesome letter! In return, I want to send you a special letter as well. So, let me know your address in Australia. :)"

With love,

Christine...

Saturday evening.
napped for 30mins and i managed to dream freaking alot of interesting things :D
Happiest nap ever man! :D

3 more days. . .
Dilemma. . .
Haven't finished packing yet. . .
Sad to leave. . .

Separations & Farewells are a pain in the arse..

Yesterday was the day that I bid farewell to my dearest friends..All of them headed to Malacca right after their last ppr in the evening. Thank you so much guys for all the wonderful memories that you've brought into my life..sharing the ups and downs together, and supporting each other no matter what the circumstances are. I really feel like a family with you guys. :'( Just couldn't hold back my tears as I hugged and said goodbye to all of them. I'M GONNA MISS ALL OF YOU SO MUCH!!! make sure you all don't forget me kayy :) You guys will always have a special place in my heart... These few sleepless nights, crying myself to bed, is driving me crazy. When I close my eyes, I think of all the things that I've to leave behind here..all my precious and beloved people, memorable times, and etc.... Dilemma...

Broga Broga~

It's the morning where Teng, Chen, Kinwei, Shaun & I explored USJ 20 for dimsum! it was nice yummy :) Then, the topic of Broga Hill came across. Kinwei randomly asked if i was interested if they are going to climb broga the next early morning. I was shocked at first. but thought that I should really go experience! I've always wanted to hike broga and get a taste of it myself :) So, our journey began at almost 5am to Broga Hill, alongwith Socks, Khajiet, Kinwax and Chiuky :)) reached there around 5.45, then started hiking up the hill :)) It was so awesome at the peak!! Unfortunately, couldn't really observe a beautiful sunrise due to heavy clouds. but the overall hiking journey was challenging and awesome!! It was CRAZILY & RANDOMLY AWESOME because I still have a final paper on Tuesday, and I can't believe I'm going hiking before that. lols. i guess that's why we're called the Crazy Gang! :D  I'll never ever forget this memorable trip to Broga, guys! Thanks alot for making it happen before I leave Malaysia. :)) Hopefully, if I do come back end of the year, I'll plan the Gopeng white-water rafting events that I've promised you guys :) ♥♥♥

Sometimes you treat me so warm and friendly, but other times you just give me the cold shoulder. What do you want actually? Do i look as though i can easily be taken granted for? :| </3 dilemma. .

Am I living in a little world of my own? In my world of fantasies? Always wished it was reality, hopefully. The little things you do. I try to forget, but it just keeps coming back. .

exam's starting in 2 more days.

i feel screwed. i'm not well-prepared.

i pray hard that i'll pass all the papers.

Another sad news, 

mom has booked the air tickets already.

i can't believe i teared after getting that text.

it's too soon. just too soon :'(

greetings humans!

Dear bloggie,

I know I've abandoned you for a very very long time..Now I'm back here to post something before I start mugging again for my finals. Well, lots of things have happened throughout these 12 weeks. I just can't believe that twelve weeks just flew past like that. :( There are many good and bad memories that I'll definitely remember. Why is life so unfair? Just as I've found you, and then I realize it's impossible.. Luck's just not on my side I feel..

Another thing which is both Wow and Sobs for me is that I got the full offer to Monash Clayton in Melbourne. And, I've already submitted my acceptance form and settled my payments to them. The annoying thing is that I've been waiting high and low for my conditional offer from Uni of Melbourne...all my friends have already received theirs way before I did, so I thought to myself perhaps I got rejected by them..so, without hesitating, I decided to accept Clayton instead..and the day after, guess what? Stupid Uni of Melbourne FINALLY sent their offer to me. WHY MUST THEY SEND IT TO ME AFTER I'VE ACCEPTED CLAYTON?! well,maybe it's fated for me to go clayton instead... I'm definitely gonna miss every single person and thing here that made my life meaningful for these 20years. It's never gonna be the same again over there..Starting everything anew, making new friends all over again when I've just begun to become so close with my current university group of friends which I call my family here :) I'm definitely gonna miss you guys so so so much! Well, I guess thats all for now. Will continue updates after my exam most probably. :) Love you guys!

Lots of love,

Tine Tine :)

Semester 2 of uni has started for a week. And many things have happened lately. Have been feeling down for the past 2 days..and busy with study and work. CNS. and etc. But today, a good friend which I've not met for a very long time, bumped into me in the cafeteria. First thing he saw me, he opened up his arms and hugged me. It's been soo long that I've ever hugged someone lately. It felt really good and I realized how powerful that hug was. A hug can really release all your burden and sorrow. So, hug a friend like she/he means the world to you! :)

Thanks for the hug, JM! :)

Taylor Swift - Back To December

This song has been released for quite some time. But I still think that this is the best Taylor Swift song on my list. The lyrics are ever so meaningful every single time I listen to this song. Perhaps, it just reminds me of some things in the past. Well, hope you guys enjoy it! :)

Chinese New Year was awesome, but the not-so-awesome part was the number of angpows. I just felt that THE OLDER I GREW, THE LESSER ANGPOWS I RECEIVED!! Gosh, this doesn't sound so good :( And I haven't been blogging lately, cause nothing much has happened though. Plus my laziness, haha, I was not in the mood for blogging recently as well. Actually, not only that, it's also because I've been hooked onto the english series 'Private Practice' :D Finally yesterday I had the determination to clean up my cabinet yesterday which was filled with all my stuffs. And, with a heavy heart, I disposed so many items but it has done good to my cabinet as it looks much neater and cleaner now. Hehe. While packing, I have this 'Box of the Past'.. And I, thereby, took out this 5-year-old letter to read which never fails to move my heart every single time I read it. I didn't have the heart to throw the items in that box, so I just folded back that letter and closed the lid of the box and placed it back to where it belonged. That's my story for the day :)

Hey!! It's the Chinese New Year's eve today and I can't wait for the family reunion and gathering!!! It's gonna be so awesomee ! :) But the main purpose of this blog post is not going to be about the new lunar year but about a quote that I've read from my bestfriend's blog. It's really meaningful if you read between those lines. So, here I am posting it on my blog to share with all you readers out there :) 

"FRIENDS-They change and become things you never thought they'd become, like your worst enemy can become your best friend, your best guy friend becomes more than a friend if you don't want them to, and that friend might like the old worst enemy that is now your best friend which makes them your enemy again. But hey, that's life. :) "

I know it sounds kind of complicated. So, take your time and read it till you've understood it! :D 

troubled

Many things have occurred for the past few days..and it's not very convenient for me to talk about it here..well, I just hope that everything goes on well as Chinese New Year will be here in just two days.. All I pray for now is peace and harmony.. But one thing that I've learnt is You are on your own no matter what happens, be it bad or good. In the end of the day, you can only trust yourself and make the crucial decisions all by yourself and nobody else no matter how close you could be with the other. I shall not continue further, so have a Prosperous and Wonderful Chinese New Year to all who are celebrating :) 

Back to school!

Hey guys! I'm finally back from my medical break. Had been under the weather for the past few days as it all started with a terrible cold, which led to cough. But now i'm 70% recovered though. Still needed the rest. Despite the weakness in me as a result of this, I got myself to school today after such a long time! Helped out with the music girls with their music performance for this coming occasion this Saturday in Jaya Jusco. 

TRADIMODE of SMC will be performing at Kinta City main concourse area at 8.00pm in collaboration with the Chinese New Year celebration on Saturday (29/1).

You'll never regret attending! :) Do come and support us!

It's been awesome being able to meet Pn Florina and Miss Lau at school today! And thank you so much Miss Lau for the 'nga choi gai' treat at Onn Kee today! :) I'll definitely repay you with a nice treat as you've promised to come visit me in Melbourne next day :) After lunch, Yen Chiew, Pn Florina and I headed to the accessories and textile shop (Kamdar) to get the things for the dancers' costumes and head gears! Wootz, it's been a long time since I've done this. Let me see, roughly about 2 years??? Gawd, I miss performing for Tradimode! Playing the Cak Lempung and other instruments today at the chapel was heaven! And tomorrow I'll be going back to chapel as well to start off with the head gear decorations together with Yen and teacher. :) Hopefully everything goes well and the girls would look their prettiest this Saturday! :)

POOPY BABADOO

Badminton today with Yen Chiew and her bunch of friends :) Kind of fun though. And its quite fun playing with the pros.LOL. ;) And thanks for creating those AWKWARD MOMENTS throughout the whole time! Urgh! Hahaha. So after the game, 4 of us headed to Stadium for breakfast. (: Had a nice chat though. Although time didn't permit much, I still managed to have some girl talk with Yen a bit :D Lovess

Yesterday, today.

Yesterday had been another day of girl talk! It's so fun talking with YiePing, JacLyn and YenMei. :) Glad meeting you guys at our usual hangout place, Old Town White Coffee. Lols! Really looking forward to meeting you guys again during Chinese New Year! Faster come please, Chinese New Year!!

Today, went to the railway station to get three train tickets for uni friends who were going back to KL. :) And guess what? They bought me a box of 'Tau Sah Peng' @ bean biscuit. How sweet of them!! Thank youu soo much guys!! You don't know how I go all crazy when I see and eat this biscuit. Hahaha. It's my all-time favourite biscuit since I was a young kid :D Hoping to see you all back in Sunway at the end of next month!! Love you guys!!

wootz!

Today had been a day of surprise :D While I was baking my orange butter cake at noon, I received a phone call from Lee Chen, which is extremely unfamiliar. hahaha. On the other side, she told me that they were heading over to my place, and I was shocked indeed upon hearing that. Because as I know, they were going to Penang today :) So, in the end, they came to my house, along with SockTeng [boss driver], LeeChen[kaki], professor Kha Jiet, Melvin and JinHern :) Then we took them for lunch at Onn Kee's to savour the chicken bean sprout rice/noodle :) Hope you guys loved it! :) And then back to my house for some light refreshments and relaxation, before they started their journey to Penang. hehe. Really had a good time catching up with you guys after a month or so :) Hopefully ya'll have loads of fun there!! See you guys real soon :)

Mother & Daughter Day Out

It's a Friday, marking the end of the week! After our morning walk today, Mom and I went to Ipoh Parade for a movie. Since I had a voucher won from the management presentation in Uni, its validity is till today. Furthermore, my mom also had a GSC ticket voucher. It'd better not go to waste, so we headed for the newly released movie- Faster, starring Dwayne Johnson [The Rock]. It's not bad though, except for the gruesome and cold-blooded killing and shooting. :/

Before the movie, we still had some time. So I went hunting for a new pair of black heels as my current one has started to wear out. Thank goodness I've found a pretty one here :) Thank you mommy! She, knowing that I'm extremely choosy and fickle-minded when it comes to buying things especially clothings and shoes, quickly schemed through the row of heels and found me this pair. It caught my eye though. It's beautiful :)

Lalala~

Finally I manage to get my ass up early these few days. Got up at 6.45am to go for my morning walk with Mom and Dad :) It's quite of an accomplishment though. hahaha. a Minor one. :P And so, I've been doing nothing much really at home. Hence, I thought of baking a cake maybe tomorrow or another day. But firstly, I need to get all my ingredients. Orange butter cake's what I intend to bake. I know it'll be a successful one cause I'm the one baking it. hahaha. :D But if anyone purges after eating it, don't point your finger at me kay? You ate it at your own risk!! Haha. To my uni mates, have fun and enjoy yourselves in the Penang trip tomorrow! :) Sorry that I won't be able to join in the fun though. Will be eager to meet all of you again in March! :) Loves.

New look (:

As you can see from the pictures, that is the new flower arrangement in the house for a new look during Chinese New Year I suppose :) It's beautifully arranged by my Dad. I'm really amazed every time he decorates the flowers. It's like, how does he know which type of flower to put first? Where should it be put?

Reminiscing the old times, when I was a kid who went to Tenby Kindergarten every morning, I would follow my dad to Regina first thing in the morning before going to school. I would observe my dad and granduncle arrange the flowers requested by the customers. For your information, Regina is a florist shop just opposite Main Convent and Ipoh Parade :) 

I really hoped that I could have his talent as florist. LOL. It would be amazing. 

Knowing the skills of flower arrangement is simply awesome :) 

Confidence strikes

All these years I've been battling with this word- CONFIDENCE. All I can say that it is a really powerful word that can change one's way of life. And recently, I've come across several quotes which contain this word as well. And I believe that if one thoroughly read behind the lines of these phrases, your confidence level could be boosted to the maximum level. That is what I felt after analyzing these quotes for some time. :) And I'm glad that these quotes popped right up to me at my face at the right time. For instance,

"I always believe that a woman will be pretty no matter what she wears or dresses if she knows how to carry herself well and confidently. No amount of designer dresses can be put on you to make you pretty if you are not confident of yourself. Each is gifted by God and each has their own unique body shape, it is how you complement your personality with your external appearance that makes you attractive" -Bernard Chandran

This quote especially has given me such a deep impression that no matter if we are ugly or pretty, it doesn't really matter. The most vital element that everyone of us need to possess is Self-Confidence. :) So, always believe in yourself-your capabilities, self-esteem, instincts and most importantly what your heart says. It may not be always right, your heart that I'm referring to, but most of the time it is. So all you beautiful ladies out there, don't be shy or embarrassed with your looks, external appearance or figure, instead you should be thankful and grateful to God and parents for presenting you,a precious gift-to the world. :) Just put up your self-confidence to the highest level and walk right through :) This similarly applies to all you handsome gentlemen out there too :)

I admit that I used to be a very timid and shy person when I was younger. But as years passed, daily life experiences have definitely played their roles in moulding me into a more outgoing and outspoken person. And I definitely need to thank my family and friends for this :) I'm not perfect yet, but I'll try my very best to be the person I dream to be - a young lady who would walk through her life with full of confidence :) I hope that this message brought to you will at least ignite the light in you :) 

"Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent" - Eleanor Roosevelt

McBride Martina- In my daughter's eyes (With lyrics)

Here's a meaningful song I'd love to share with all my readers :) 
Although it's quite of an old song, hope you'll enjoy the amazing lyrics :)

Delighted :)

Yoohoo! I'm back from a short break Lol. As I've nothing much to share with all of you recently, therefore I decided that my blog shall go on a hiatus for a bit. Haha. Well, nothing much has really occurred these few days except a few things. ;) And I'm glad you're back here :) Hope to see you soon! And all the best & good game to you in your coming game kay? :D I know you'll certainly play well :)

It's getting a little boring

As you can see, I'm practically rotting at home other than sleeping, watching television, Facebook-ing, going for squash, meeting up with friends where most of them have already left back to their study place :S Therefore, I have decided to pick a novel and read. And my dear hand landed on a book entitled "Message In A Bottle" by Nicholas Sparks (: I'm very sure that it'll be an interesting story as he's an awesome author. Besides, I've not much to tell today, but I've managed to meet up with Yen and Cheefei before he leaves back to KL tomorrow :) Drive safely ya my friend :) Aite, that's all for now. Adios!

Neon Trees - Animal

Currently this song is like a drug to me. It's so freaking addictive!! HAHA. and it's awesome to see a girl being the drummer in a band consisting of 3 guys! :D Go Neon Trees!! wootz (:

I wish I could...

I don't know whats gotten into me these days, but I hate the fact that I'm getting up so late during this summer holiday. I feel that all my time have been wasted sleeping in till so late in the morning. Unlike my previous times, I would only sleep till 9ish in the morning, whereas now I could snooze all the way till 10.30-11am. Gosh. I think I need a deafening alarm clock to get me off the bed! Haha. 

Warden-ing :)

It's a great evening today! Have been asked to serve as warden in church today. I can't even remember when was the last time I served in the Lord's house. I guess it was 2years ago LOL :) It really feels good though! Plus I met my old friends and managed to acknowledge them during collection time. :) And also, I've spotted a good looking young man that I've never seen before in church previously, seated there this evening :D What a great evening! :) 

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011 TO ALL!! 

Happy New Year 2011 everyone out there!! May this year bring us all good health, joyous and prosperous moments throughout our lives! :) And let us overcome all our hardships and endeavors with the fiery courage and will power! Love you all! ♥
