Today's one of the best days of my life!
Morning: Badminton session
Woke up on time today, got myself ready and prepared for the final badminton session before leaving to Canada with secondary school friends. Wei Kiat, as he always does, gave me a ride to the sport centre. And surprisingly today, someone who usually doesn't show up, showed up. Guoy Zhi Ren, yes, you! Haha... Then as usual, we had badminton matches. Sweat not that much today. Probably because I spent more time taking pictures and simply staring at them playing than playing myself. It was the first time I brought a camera with me during badminton sessions. Felt so not right. After the two-hour-session, we split into groups and headed home to take a shower before the following activities: Karaoke at Timesquare and dinner at my place. Wei Kiat took a shower at my house and then we proceeded to Timesquare in Zhen Ting's car.
Afternoon: Karaoke
When we arrived, Steph, Siew Wei and Jun Wen had already been waiting for quite a long while. Gave them apologetic smiles and together we stood outside of Neway, awaiting our beloved organiser, Ng Yung Hyun and a few others to arrive. By 3, we were all seated in room 26. Did what we should be doing in a karaoke room: Picked songs and sang. Again, din't sing much today, was busy with the camera. Though I have to admit I am not a good photographer. It was hard to get them willingly look at my camera. Not all of them at least. But it was fun as it has always been. And yes, again we were joined by rare guests: Eugene Low and Yeong Bin.
p/s: Zhi Ren's girl friend has a great voice. Beautiful.
In the midst of karaoke-ing, daddy phoned me and asked me to get myself the pair of sport shoes that I like. Got it right before we all got to my house. It was darn expensive. But I seriously like it.
Another phone call from Edmond when "Thunder" was being played. Good timing. Haha... Didn't recognise his voice initially though it was shown on the caller ID: Edmond?. Was told about his flight date and could almost confirm mine. We're not on the same flight. Jeez... Guess I'm not seeing SkullCandy so soon. XP
Evening till midnight: Dinner and farewell
Peggy, Aunt Ho and Aunt Tan were already there at my house when we all returned from Timesquare.
While everyone started to feast on the food that was prepared, Steph and I chose to play the piano. She's simply awesome. Her capability to play a song upon hearing is amazing. We played "Hey Soul Sister" together and a few other songs. Got a simple lesson on "Automatic" and played her parts of "Vanilla Twilight". And there's no need to say, she picked it up real fast. Then everyone hanged around and talked. Kah How showed up for a while after he had his dinner with his family. Received gifts from them, though I expected none. Was surprised and grateful. Wei Kiat gave me something that I would never imagined. A self-made-box with a paper folded rose and a note. I was stunned for a second, not knowing what to say. Then a book from Steph, another book lover like myself. And a pair of sunglasses from Eugene and YB. Not forgetting the notebook and pencil from my brother's friends. Also, Peggy, Mun Yue, Mei Yee, thanks.
And then, another surprise yet. A cake! They bought me a cake, cheesecake. Though I only had one pinch, I was touched. THANKS people! When it was around 11 something, some left. Shook hands and hugged. Bye! It was nice catching up with each other. By 12 midnight, everyone's gone. I felt good.
Special thanks to daddy, mummy, grandma and Tomato!

Nothing's changed
Date: 27 Aug, 2010
Highlight #1: Elaine and May flying off to Toronto
Woke up early and shot for the airport in daddy's UNSER. Feeling okay, not sad, rather anticipating. Imagined how Elaine would react when she sees me; Figured that we won't cry; Can't wait to pass them the gifts that I've made. Arrived at the airport, before getting down from the car, dad decided that he will wait for me and send me home when I'm done. Nodded in silence, thought of Edmond, who was supposed to take me home. Wondered how to tell him. Pushed that thought away once I stepped into the airport. Looked around frantically, not wanting to waste a second that I could spend with Elaine and May. About to dial May's phone when I heard, "Yan Yan...". That voice. Yes! Before my eyes could locate the source of the voice, someone grabbed me by my hand. It was May! She in her formal attire and blazer. Greeted her relative, who was with her. Then we hurried to where Elaine and her family were gathering. Hugged Elaine from her back, gave her a shock. =) That smile and the typical-Elaine-laughter, sounded. "Si gin...". Haha! Felt so great to meet them again. Quickly passed them two the gifts for I was told that they need to board in a very short while. (What?! It's not even 7.30am.) Waved to her family and said hi before sitting down beside her and grabbed each other like long lost friends. No words could have describe the unnamed happiness in me. Later, we were joined by Edmond and JS. A short photo session and then they were boarded. Before that, not forgetting the hugs. We hugged and promised we'll see each other over there.
Bye, Elaine. Bye, May tze.
I pray you guys a safe and enjoyable trip. Bon voyage!
Highlight #2: Me getting my hair trimmed
It's about time to get a hair cut before leaving to Canada. Al-right. After mummy sent my brother to tuition, we headed to the salon. While my hair was being washed, I giggled when I felt fingers moving around my neck. Guess I gave the lady who was busy washing my hair a shock. "Is this your first time having your hair washed by people?"
"The second time.", continued giggling. XP
Done washing, it's time for some trimming.
"How would you like your hair cut? Short?"
"No, I'm keeping them. Just trim a little."
Done. =) Home.
Bro:"Have you got your hair cut?"
Me:"Yes."
Bro:"I don't see the difference."
Me:"..."
Highlight #3: Mummy preparing for tomorrow's party (farewell for me and belated b'day for Hou)
Drinks, plastic plates and bowls. We need to stock them up for tomorrow. Hence, we went shopping at "Segi". Picked up packet drinks and can drinks. They are heavy. Aiks... Managed them all into the trolley. Mummy was pushing the trolley while I looked for plates and bowls. Found them at a corner. Yea. Paid and piled things up inside the trolley with the help of a worker there. Thanked him though I am not sure if he understands me. He's most probably a foreign worker from Indonesia. Not too sure. Took over the trolley while mummy checked the receipt. Realised the trolley was so heavy. Down a slide the trolley went, with me trying to stop it. Succeed. Together my mum and I placed everything into the car and went home. Satisfied. Mummy will be making jelly tomorrow. Sorry, I won't be there to help. Going out with friends. Yes! ^^
Yet another day of my simple life. ^^

Go...
Just one simple question and it brings this dilemma up: Is my decision right?
Staring into the reflection in the mirror, a song sounded in my mind.
"Get up and go, take a chance and be strong...
DON'T LOOK BACK JUST GO, take a breath and move on... "
Yes, that's exactly what I should be doing right now.
The song has been repeating for countless time on my player.
Yes, Kan Ka Yan, Don't look back, just GO!
Someone asked: dun go can ar?
I answered: cannot.
Good Job! very firm of you. Haha... anyway, I am coming back la duh... ok?
OK.

Ong Choon Hoong
Ong Choon Hoong.
A name that has been buried for so long in my memory, now resurfaced! Yes, he's my primary school mate, the one who had been my monitor for 5 consecutive years, the one that made me help him with stacks of books and the one who called me a pig head and still does. Looking back, it's really been a long journey that we've walked over after graduating with our UPSR. And i'm glad we're still at least a part of each other's lives.
Just like he used to be, that mr. is tall and fair. Only now with a look that says: I'm a grown-up. Knowing now that he's already a university student over at Hong Kong, I feel proud for the once quiet genius who sat beside me. =)
All the best, u!

Bye bye...
Bye bye, KKY!!!
Bye bye, Sofhan!
Woke up at 5.30 am today feeling energetic despite the fact that I slept late last night. Checked the 2 sms-es on my phone and got myself prepared, ready to meet Keat Yang and Sofhan at the airport. Took KLIA Express for the very first time, with Edmond. The price was a rip off!
RM35 - one way trip. To and fro = RM70. But it's worth it. =)
Met up with Keat Yang, KKC and Sofhan in front of KFC. Didn't talk much. I listened instead, to both Edmond and KKY. Them with their casual conversation. Took some photos and it was time for them to leave. Shook hands with KY and hugged Sofhan. As I am here typing now, I wonder what they are doing on the plane. Wishing them a safe trip.
There's a voice that will be missed... For sure.
Take care, people.

Emptiness...
Lately, have been leading a life that feels empty. Yes, literally, EMPTY.
There's no ups and no downs, just one horizontal straight line. BORING.
Ask me what I have been doing? How's my day? A typical ka yan's day which includes waking up late, doing nothing, staring into nothingness, playing piano, surfing the net, and some reading.
So that's it! That's me and my holiday life. Soon, very soon, this is coming to an end and I can already see myself wanting these moments back when there are piled up assignments.
Then what do I want now? I don't know. ><
What's in my mind? Nothing. Blank.
I shall stop being like this. Come on. Cheer!

Half day at KLCC
Woke up late,
Sorry to have made someone wait,
Arrived safe,
KLCC's great.
Took a look,
Quick,
Like a snake,
*shake shake*.
Kinokuniya's the best place,
Felt silence,
And peace.
Watched "The Last Airbender",
Wasn't part of the plan,
But whatever.
Reached home by 3.15pm.
=)

As dreams come true... 梦寐以求。
As dreams come true, My........ as before.
Pace not as fast
Mind not as determined
Spirit not as eager
Passion not as fierce
Words not as strong
As dreams come true, My........ doubled, tripled, quadrupled...
Fear
Anxiety
Excitement
Anticipation
Hesitations
As dreams come true, It is not as ........ as thought.
Beautiful
Perfect
Faraway
Simple
Wondrous
As dreams come true, I should be ........
Brave
Humble
Grateful
Strong
ME
As dreams come true, I realised that dream and reality can never be the same. There are to some extend, some differences. Gone were those pictures of imagination, here awaiting is a whole new journey, a once in a lifetime journey that I'll not walk it twice. GO GO GO! =)
梦想和现实永远保持着一段距离。当那段距离拉近时，才发现很多的希望并没有想象中的完美。
回首想一想，这些都是自己渴望的，不是吗？算梦寐以求吧？
嘻嘻。嘴角不禁扬起一丝微笑。
嘲笑，矛盾的自己。
加油！
