Belated B'day Celebration
27 July, 2010
The day before our meeting with JPA; The day for my official enrollment in courses; The day when we gathered together again after being apart for more than half a month; The day for a late birthday celebration with Elaine and May Tze.
5 a.m sharp, 15 mins before alarm was set to ring:
"Ah Yan, Hei San Lo!", grandma pulling off my blanket with the intention to wake me up. Attempt 1 failed. Few minutes later, again another nudge. Rubbing my eyes, pretending to get off the bed, I fell back on the bed after she left my room. =) Genius!
In the end, I still got up before 5.35 a.m, which was my assigned enrollment time. Didn't even bother to brush my teeth, I switched on the laptop and stared. 20 minutes to go... Browsing through Facebook, not knowing what to see. Wished to get my courses done and go back to sleep. *Phone playing Happy Tree Friends Ringtone, screen blinking incoming call: Ng Xiao Ying*. They had arrived at kl central, clock reading 5.XX . I was told that they'll be here 6 something the night before. That's early! Hadn't even gotten my courses enrolled. Never mind, went out with daddy to pick them up. Was literally cruising on the road, few cars. Hence, speed.
Got them, head back home. Enrolled. Was slightly late and some classes were already full. Minimal change to the initial plan. Adjusted the classes. Satisfied. Eager. Anticipate. Fear. Exhausted. Tried to sleep, failed. We talked instead. About 9, HCC we went. Retrieved visas, met Corde, Yu Sin, Magtum, Thien, Zi Xin, etc.
Back at home after lunch at Mc Donald:
Laid around, talked a little, hid the gifts for Laine and May Tze. Anticipating Elaine's arrival from Sabah. Phoned Edmond for a ride to pick Elaine up. Request approved! =) Took a nap until Edmond arrived. Quickly stuffed the cake Edmond bought into the fridge without May noticing. Realised Edmond got his hair trimmed. Spikes! >< Failed to get Money into the cage. ==" Still, Edmond's in one piece. Later, together we went to KLIA and there, standing outside Gate 4, was our most anticipated friend, Elaine Gan! On our way back, Edmond took a wrong turn, but still remained steady as usual. He was right, alright. There is no getting lost, only to a different destination. =) Found our way home ultimately. Mond, thanks for the ride.
Dinner at my house. Caught up with each other, laughed until we all had stomach ache. Laine's medical check up experience was hilarious. So was she. The way she explained with her usual expressions and sampat-ness. Haha... =) About 9, the simple but sweet birthday celebration. Nice cake. Great friends. Perfect combination. Later, we climbed up the balcony and spent the night there for a while until Edmond had to leave. Sent him off while the others remained upstairs. Edmond handed me Laine and May Tze's gifts and 6 envelopes with numbers on. Instruction given was to guess which envelope belongs to who and only to open after we've each chosen one. The four of us, in my room, did as told. Xiao Ying got the numbers right at the very beginning but we didn't think so. But whatever, we opened all in the end. *sorry, mond!* Hehe... Edmond, the four of us felt grateful and still are feeling so to have you in our lives. =)
Bed time:
Ended the day with conversations. =)
A lovely meet up and stay over.

Time Machine
Yes.
Tonight it felt like years ago.
Like we were back to those days.
You are still the same.
You know how I feel and sure know how to make me feel.
You know who matters to me and that someone who matters always make me cry.
I din say a thing, not even a hint.
Yet you just knew that I was again, crying.
Just glad that you're back. =)
The one who listens to me, the one who tells me things.
I miss you, my friend.
Tell me this is no time machine, it's just you back after having gone for so long.

Too Free that is...
Feeling like scrambled egg in a sandwich:
Sandwiched;
Squashed;
Stuck;
Breathless.
Feeling like a lizard hidden behind a picture:
Scared;
Cold;
Lost;
Hesitant.
Feeling like a piece of white paper:
Blank;
Nothingness;
Imaginative;
Still the emptiness.
Feeling like myself:
Happy;
Ambivalent;
Apologetic;
Confused;
Tangled thoughts.

乱七八糟
七月十日 星期六 天气阴
最近才看完一部台湾连续剧《命中注定我爱你》。是一部蛮旧的片子，可是依旧让人心动。戏中呢，像一般的偶像剧，女主角身边总会有两个男生为她无所不能、义无反顾的牺牲。不过这次，身为观众的我却有点意外我自己竟然没有一味可怜第二男主角，反而会同情他们三个。三个人的生活莫名其妙的交接在一起，在没有预告的情况下发生了碰撞，就像烈日后的暴雨，无可预测。自然的，每个人都会有不一样的应付对策。有的选择逃避；有的选择屈服；有的选择操纵。问题是，谁是对的，谁是错的？造成伤害的还是受伤的？实际上，又有谁能断定呢？很多时候对于错、黑与白仅仅那一线之差。更令人懊恼的是，中间存在着灰色地带。我们都忘了吗？两全其美并不是必然的，它是难得的。尤其在感情的框框里，两全其美的可能性是微乎其微。混乱吧？哈哈！不过也因为这种隐隐约约，飘浮不定的暧昧才让人们情不自禁的掉到爱情深谷。我只能说：很炫，很奇妙。
每个人都是不一样的。有的很平凡；有的不平凡。有些人天生丽质；有些相貌平平。但是我可以肯定的是，每个人都是唯一的，独特的。因为全世界就仅仅一个我，一个你跟一个他。不多也不少，就一个。一个人可以很不起眼，不过绝对不可以看不起自己，因为他是全世界唯一的他。回归现实，大部分的人都会以貌取人，这点无可否认。但是这样并不代表真正懂得欣赏内在美的人不存在。哈！就像戏里头的女主角终究还是以她的品德感动了男主角。对啦，别人会说戏剧都是骗人的，但是人家不也说人生如戏，戏如人生吗？可能人生的剧场没有戏剧般的夸张、浪漫，不过当中悟出的道理绝对跟我们的生活一样。导演还不都是把人生的经历，加上些些的幻想才把一部剧作出来的。
这些人生大道理还真是错中复杂，乱七八糟。想了也是白想。不过是真的挺有趣，因为我们永远不知道下一秒又会有怎么样的变化。偶尔看看戏，幻想一下下，应该没错吧！
好久没有用华语写这么长的一篇了。感觉还挺不赖。
加油！

Klang!
Date: 30 June, 2010
Friends: Edmond, Elaine, May, Win Shi, Jun Sheng, Wan Fong, Dai Lou(Yi Ming), Allen Ho, Cordelia
It wasn't my first time to Klang, but it sure was my first time at Klang with friends. The presence of you guys made Klang a more attractive and beautiful place. In fact, wherever you all are, there'll always be laughter. I have to admit, I never had friends as crazy and fun as these bunch of monkeys. Smart monkeys!
It's been a long time since I played in a playground. Got chased away by Casa guards before when we were messing around in the playground. Yes, we have grown up. As much as we do not want to, that is life. Time waits for no man. Grow! Might not be as tall as a tree, but what's important is our way of thinking and living. No one will be there for us all the time, it's ourselves ultimately though their supports are vital nonetheless.
Back to playground, right. We all had fun in the playground near Win Shi's new house. A moment for some reminiscing of memories. Took in fresh new experiences all the same. I guess everyone has a child in their hearts somewhere after all. =) Keep that!
Went round Klang in Win Shi's car, packed like sardin, literally. Yet, it wasn't at all torturous, it was awesome. >< How many times in your life do you get to be so close with your friends? Shoulders against shoulders, heads on each others' shoulders. The touch of a friend, the intimacy, the bond. =)
Profuse thanks to our friend, Win Shi, for being so kind to take us around.
Edmond, our photographer who took over 300 pictures a day. You are simply "Edmond"! Take it the way you like, whatever it means. =) You're great!
A wonderful day with wonderful friends. ><
