word of wisdom

do not leave your retainer at home because it will cause pain when you try to put it on after two weeks of not wearing it.

i always thought

i always thought a a friend will be there with you supporting you when you are in need because i was taught that a friend in need, a friend in need.

two words: "yeah right"

people whom you trust so much will think that you're weird and turn away from you pretending that nothing has ever happened.

damn it!

Ohana?!

From Lilo and Stitch:

"Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten"

-_-" (sigh...)

hmmmph

adivce from a friend who cares

"if you think it is bringing you more hurt (than comfort and security), just let it go."

if ever letting go is that easy...

it's damn hard

damn it!

I've Decided

Talked to one of XYZ leaders just now. Really glad to know that DUMC is one of the church in the world holding the highest standards when it comes to BGR. Thanks to the boldness of the leaders in church to address such issues in order that the members develop a proper BGR and to ensure an everlasting marriage.

Knowing this, I've decided:

To hold on to whatever that XYZ has taught me and

Not to expect that others, even christians, to follow the same standards that I follow.

For all you know, when you try to help, people might think that you're weird or misunderstands you for doing it with other motives. So, no point burdening myself with other people's problem.

Enough is enough.

Move on, niCk.

word of the season

Word of the season: "Yeah Right!"

in BM it is "kononnya"

don't ask me what is it in Chinese, I don't know.

well, who cares...

give me a break

I'm so tired.

Need a break, like the Deepavali Break which is starting tomorrow.

I want to sleep and just do nothing at all.

In 7 hours time I'll be lying on the couch in my house online-ing.

I wonder how life's gonna be after Deepavali break cause the next break is gonna be Chinese New Year.

hmmph...

I am "what are you doing right now?"

Bentong

Went back to Bentong with my uncle last Thursday. Got permission to use 7th auntie's camera, so did some photo shooting when I was there. Tried to learn about the effects of different shutter speed and aperture - Some photography jargon that I heard over and over again from Vincent.



My grandpa house number is really weird. It doesn't go according to numeric order along with houses in that street. Our house number is 254 but both out neighbour's house number is neither 255 or 253 or anything near 254. maybe 798 or 364 . I always wonder how does the postmen send letter to our house and why is it so.


This flower is known as Dancing Lady for the shape of its flower which resembles a lady dancing in a yellow dress. The first time I saw this type of flower was during out trip I Sikkim while they were having an International Flower Exhibition.

I was like, "uwah so cool! seriously look like a lady dancing."

Didn't know that popo has them too.

popo also plants a lot of fruits like,
Custard Apple
Pineapple
There's once 4 pineapples combined together as one in one of popo's pineapple tree (do we call them trees?) It was a gigantic one, seriously.
Rambutan which is duper sweet.



Really love going back to Bentong. To see my grandparents or simply just enjoy the quietness and peace in that place.




Reflection time. Dunno why I love taking photos of reflection. Probablye it is simply nice without much skills needed to take those shots.


Photos brought to you by niCk!

So cool

I am udating from a iPod touch in gardens, mid valley city. So cool

Primary School gathering

It's been 8 years I left my SRJK(C) Naam Kheung. And 8 years is like, so the LONG! Since each of us went on our own way after leaving the school, only some of us managed to keep in touch with one another.

Until recently Edwin Seah initiated to collect our new contact numbers, update the directory and finally have a reunion.

Still remember the biggest reunion we had before this was in 2002 at my house. Initially it was suppose to be my brithday party which I intended to invite some of my primary school friends along. The planning was very early, hence the news spred to so many people and it turn out to be a reunion party instead. Some didn't even know that it was my birthday. We had a great time catching up with one another.

Then comes another reunion in the month of May this year which I'd missed.

And here comes another gathering in Wong Kok, Leisure Mall:

Kuan Koon
See Hooi and Edwin
Zhi Wei and Pearline
Chooi Yee
Hon Kan
Wye Liong and Shang Yi
Jia Hong and Xiu Pei
Kah Yee
Mei Sia (hope I got the spelling right?!) and Li Mun

Out of 50 in our class (6B) only 15 turn up. But small groups like this good to catch up with one another. I don't think we'll get the chance to talk to everybody if 50 of us were there.

What made the reunion more meaningful was that Chooi Yee brough out class photos and her biodata book (or whatever it is known as) - those days we love doing that especially during finaly year.

Some of us talked about the past, interesting things that happened in the class last time, who got punished by teacher, funny teachers etc, while another side of the table talked about the future, who is getting married, whe is planning to get married etc.

Gathering ended when one person left the place. Like what Kuan Koon said, "It's a chain reaction, one leaves, everybody leaves"

Well, I was in a hurry le... aha!

Nice to catch up with you guys! Let's have another one with our teachers together?!

Thank You!!!

Hey people! Just to let you all know my mom is doing fine. When I left the hospital, she was a bit febrile. Hope it'll subside with paracetamol.

Thanks for all the prayers and support. Special thanks to those who made an effort to come and visit mummy, the flowers, the fruits, the whatever that you all think is good for her...

Big thank you!!!


Here are some flowers that mummy received today. From her company and 8th auntie & family.





When Lai Yin saw the amount of flower mummy has, she said, "now you got work to do. go dry all the flowers and make something out of it."

I replied, "any other more manly things for me to do?!"

niway, the nurse suggested us to bring those flower back to prevent pollen from flying around and cause allergic reaction. So I had to carry all those flower-cum-fruit-basket hamper back home.

After separating those flowers and fruits, I found out that the amount of fruits is so a lot. Never in my life I've seen so much apple in my house fridge. Since my mom cannot eat solid food currently, so I think me and my brother have to eat fruit salad for every meal these few days.

And come back to the flower. They are real and look so nice. So i decided to dry it like how all my aunties instructed me. hmmph... girls stuff.

BUT!

I did it in a manly way:


K la. I can't really find a books heavy enough to to that. So I use the dumbbell instead. So I can put it back after I work out.

OK whatever it is, I'm very tired. Please pray for me that I'll get enough strength until mummy is much better. Running around since morning till midnight is really tiring.

Mummy, Get Well Soon

done!

operation was successful!

Thank You Jesus!

Thanks for all the prayers and support.

gotta go up and see mummy now.

Hospital

Mom just went into the OT. Op is gonna take one to two hours.

God, be with Mummy. Thank You! In Jesus Name, Amen.

Updating from the hospital

Get well soon

Mom admitted to Bangsar Pantai for hysterectomy scheduled at 9am tomorrow.

Get well soon mom! Will pray for you!

Do uphold my mummy in prayers, friends. Thanks!

Happy 21st Birthday, niCk!

Ok, I need to post this up before August ends.

Happy Birthday, niCk!


This year's birthday was real simple and in fact, non-celebrative. Most people even forget about it. Nothing was done, no party, no nothing...

...but with a special meaning.

19th August marks my last day in India which also marks the beginning or my adulthood. Oh man, so serious!

I could say that my stay in India changed my life a lot. As I end this chapter of my life, both my stay in India as well as my childhood/teenage/whatever you name a non-adult person, I'm really excited to move on and see what God is going to do with me.

Usually 21st birthday would be some really big hurray, party all night, booze all night things like that, but I chosed to spend this special moment with special people. And that's my birthday wish: to spend time with 3 person who changed my life the most in Manipal and to tell them "thank you and I love you all!"

Moreover on 19th itself we'll be travelling in Bangalore and making out way back to Malaysia, so no time for some big celebration also.

What happened on 18th night was...
I was alone in my hotel room in Bangalore. I took out my guitar and started to worship God with a very special song called "I Am Your Miracle". And tears started to flow from my eyes and volume was going higher and higher till Juh Han told me that Yin Yee and Lai Yin could hear me singing from upstairs.

God's presence was so real and I kept praying and crying, committing my life again to His hands and ask God to guide me through as I move on.

Yeap! I spend that moment with a Special Person - God!

I almost fell asleep when Jun Han, Yin Yee and Lai Yin came knocking on my door and wished my Happy Birthday. I was like, "yeap! My birthday wish! But I'm very very tired..." We talked a bit and then everybody was tired and went back to sleep not long after.

Thanks guys! I appreciate it!













(We didn't take photos that night. Here's their photos on out batch prize giving ceremony)


Thank you guys not just for the birthday wishes, but also for the times you all have spent with me in Manipal, the lessons that you all have taught me, the tolerance you guys had for me and accepting me as I am.

BIG thank you!

and of course, I got to spend time with Mummy and Mummy no.2 (7th auntie)

Ok. They flew all the way to India and wished my Happy Birthday. Now I don't dare to ask for any birthday present dy...

Thanks Mom and 7th auntie!!!


Actually the main purpose of them going to India was to help me to carry my excess luggage back to Malaysia. aha! Still, that made my 21st birthday special!

Bye childhood, here I come adulthood. (ok sounds really really lame)

God, take me and use me. In Jesus name, Amen!

popo's love

On the morning when I reached KL, I call popo in Bentong and let her know that I'm back. And the first thing she said was, "I have some durians for you in condo (where my aunties stay), go take it. Very nice one ya!"

For all I know popo did this:



My aunties told me that NOBODY dared to touch that container cause it has my name on it.

aha! thanks popo!

no matter what type of durian is in it, they all taste the same... SWEET from the heart.


lesson: go study in a place where there's no durian.

Heya!!!

OMG

I'm so back in Malaysia!

India has made me into, one word, JAKUN

Will update soon!!!

Going home!!!

ok, I'm gonna miss Manipal so so so much. Still I need to move on.

I never hated Manipal as such. Not at all even from the beginning.

Knowing that I won't be coming back to this place that I've spent 2.5 years of my life gives me some funny feelings...

but I can't wait to go home though!

Supremo pics
