Just for you.

GWEN LEE!!
Cause I love you so much.  =D

Pictures from Cullinaire Malaysia 2011.
I took them all by myself.
All the pictures are unedited and are straight from the camera.
I just compiled them together and added my name.
Feast your eyes and your tummies. =]

I'll be back again the next time.
And Gwen will be with me this time so we can eat until we make ourselves sick. =D

Toodles.

Little Something.

Just missing you. 

I doubt the missing-you-part ever gets easier. 

The last time we talked, I talked too much. 

You should have stopped me. 

So it'll be your turn the next time. =]
And I don't mind CS. You're the only one who calls me that. :)

Here's a little something to think back about in a few days and laugh over.

Cousin: Leng chai, what is your name?
Guy: *in a soft voice* Ansen
*Cousins look at one another*
Cousin: Handsome?
Guy: No, Ansen but I don't mind handsome.

Epicness.
If you have a child in the future, and it's a boy, do consider naming him that. XD

Wedding bells.

Surge forward.

These past two days have been really hectic.
My plans of sleeping early were completely ruined.
But it was worth it.

A Chinese traditional wedding really is filled with traditions, procedures and what-nots.

It's really complicated and there's so much to do. I literally mean a whole lot.
Chipping in my help for the past two days, I can testify to that.
Even then, my contributions were really small.
The best part was being one of the 'ji mui' for my cousin. 

The things we came up with for the groom, unbelievable.

If you didn't already know, the Chinese have a tradition where the groom has to pass through a few stages or so called barriers set up by the bride's 'ji mui's' (consisting of her girl cousin and close friends) before he can meet his bride.
The groom and his 'heng dai's' (consisting of his guy cousins and close friends) has to do whatever we want them to do.
If they fail to do so, they'll get punished.
Usually by eating something nasty such as crackers filled with wasabi or a jelly filled with a bee (we did this before!) or anything else you can come up with.

This time round, it was nothing much really crazy, just entertaining for us, girls.
We enjoyed ourselves a bit tad too much when the guys had to kiss each other with a card wedged between two lips in futile attempt to pass a card by its flat surface from one guy to another.
If the card dropped, they get punished.
By eating bread filled with chilli tunas and an extra ingredient , cili padi placed lovingly by us inside.
You just have to love us.

The cheesiest part was where we made the groom serenade the bride outside the door.
On my guitar.
That was really sweet and touching.
There were even background vocals by his 'heng dai's'.

Next, we had a tea ceremony.
Which took really long since we have a huge family and by huge, I do mean ginormous.
There were family members, extended families, and extended extended families.

Fast-forward, it's nighttime now.
Time to hit the sacks soon.

If you read it from top to bottom, give yourself a pat on the back.
I'm sort of distracted while typing this and not really in the blogging mood so the writing may be crappy.
Excuse me for that, yea.

Till more weddings in the future.
Till then.


P.S. I didn't get to take any photos since I was involved. Wished I could do both. Oh well.

Before I die.

I'm going to spend a birthday of mine in Disneyland. 

Just cause I want to. 

Simple as that.

Closer to the Edge.

I'm too lazy to update a long post.

There's just so much that has happened, it's too much to say.

But one thing that majorly pisses me off is not being able to post the pictures I've taken here. 

I really really want to show you guys the amazing masterpieces of cakes, chocolates and all things delectable which I took at Culinaire Malaysia 2011.

It's just absolutely frustrating that I can't. 

So I'm going off to bed now.

Soon. 

Till then, enjoy your life. 

P.S. I'll think of a way to share the piccies. Especially for you Gwen. =]

Breathe in, breathe out.

I know I'm suppose to post an update today.
A lengthy long-ish one at least?
But I'm not in the mood to.
I still have so much to do.
And exams continue again tomorrow.
Kinda feeling a tad bit of lifeless now as I could be out somewhere, at a place where I'm fond of.
Instead I'm at home, not that I have anything against home, it's lovely.
Just want to be out being able to do what I want, without feeling guilty.
The main consolation for myself is that, there's only 3 days left. 5 papers.
Yes, three long, windy, late nights left.
Then I get to enjoy myself for a tad bit.
I have several plans up my sleeves that I can't wait to carry out.
Probably involves declaring self-holidays for myself I presume.
After that, it's back to war with the books again.
Life.


As most of you know, a dear teacher of ours passed away yesterday.
I'm still speechless and in a state of disbelief.
I don't do well with grief.
All I can say right now is that she's an amazing teacher who's dedicated to her job.
And it's such a loss to the world that we've lost someone like her.
One thing's for sure, she'll always be in our hearts.


Just another something I want to say.
Two days ago was the best opportunity for me to asked you if you wanted to be friends.
Cause there are two options; friends or enemies.
Frankly speaking, I don't need an enemy nor want one.
They are a waste of time and effort.
The awkward silences and  brief looks has to stop.
I'm not judging you for what you did.
Heck, I don't even know the whole story.
So now the only options I'm offering is friends or strangers.
Done deal.
Only thing left to say is that it's a waste to loose a friend.


Back to studying.
I shouldn't be here in the first place.
Ming, if you're reading this, I updated. Obviously. Haha.


Till then.

Friendly Reminder.

Just a gentle reminder to myself.

Probably update a short one tomorrow. Depends.

Till then.
Toodles.

Still Alive.

The first week of exams are officially over.

Which concludes that the second week of exams have officially begun.

Oh joy. Hooray anyone? *hints the sarcasm remark*

Work hard. Study hard. Play even harder.

Best advice I've seen on the net for some time.

Speaking of advice, I just want to thank a certain someone who gave me a really simple, down-to-earth suggestion when I was down and all stressed up. It's actually that simple and it worked!

I was expecting it not to. Heheee.. 

Just wanted to say a simple thank you.  =]

Remember the silly Pikachu joke? 

I'm still laughing at the absurdity of it.

Just a lil something to share. 

Back to studying. 

Have a nice life. 

Sum Up.

The dreaded month for those sitting for trials. Me included. Obviously.

This one week holiday has been anything but fruitful.

The one main thing I did was procrastinate and sleep.

And still I'm tired to the core.

Where's the logic in that?

One thing's for sure, I'm screwed for trials.

How did I bring this upon myself?

No matter how many times or how hard I drill myself for an answer, I wouldn't get it.

It wouldn't change a thing anyway.

However this holiday hit me with a realization.

The past will always chase up to you if you don't learn to let go.

And each hit gets worse and the blows come down harder than before.

I guess you could say I'm coming to terms with some issues right now.

But it ain't easy and the timing isn't right either.

It never is anyway, just have to deal with that.

On the bright side of things, I can still swim!

Random me.

I really do miss the water.

It didn't occur to me till I was swimming in the pool few days back.

I haven't been in the water for some time before that.

Guess I really am a water baby. Hehe..

I can't really remember who but someone used to call me that.

This holiday has also been about surprises and rekindling old friendships.

It etched a smile on my face, knowing that the both of you still remembered me.

We'll hang out soon.

Last but not least, before I end, I would like to express my gratitude and utter joy for having this very special person in my life.

If you're reading this and you know what CS means, you know who you are.

Thank you for tolerating my crappy mood swings, my tardiness, my non-stop chatter, my insecurities and so much more.

Thank you for being there for me.

I don't know what the future holds for us but I'm more than blessed to have shared this much with you.

Never would I have expected any of this.

And I have you to thank for and God for placing me into your life and you into mine.

That's one thing I'm always grateful for.

And the other thing to be grateful about is having an amazing but LOUD person in my life for the past 7 years. XD

So here's a shout-out to that person:

GWEN LEE, I MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY!!

See the smiles!! =D

Sighs, what are we going to do next year when we're not together?

Anyway, know that I love you lots and lots.

And I can't wait to see you in about 24 hours time. =]

Time to end this post. Thanks for waiting Gwennie. I owe you kisses now. HAHA.

I'm still holding on the the good bits in life.

They make everything worthwhile. =]

Good luck for trials peeps.

Toodles.

P.S. Stop calling me CS!! Grr...

P.P.S. I'm getting hooked on Grey's Anatomy. Epicness.
