Moving on


Just got this picture from Sandra.
from left: Me, Winnie and Sandra Ooi.

It's been months since we see each other, that was the last picture that we took together, as coursemates, as school mates. Many things have changed for the past few months. Suddenly it feels like every promises that we made to be in touch always have been broken. Guess, there are more important to things to look out for, rather than SMS-ing or keep updating each other about our life. Many have moved on, but i think i'm stuck at the point where friends are still around, sharing dreams and having fun together.


Memories of celebrating birthdays, rushing for assignments, hanging out at cafes and movies.... It came back to me quite often recently. The result, i felt so lonely and maybe a little bit depressed. The effects on me was amplified by the broke-up with my ex-boyfriend. I felt as though people are running away from me. All my friends and even my family. Well, it might not be true but this is definitely how i feel right now.

Sandz told me that i need to grow out of it. Yes, i know, but how? All the dreams, the plans and the career, it just seems not real anymore. It seems impossible to achieve what i want. Or perhaps it's me who doesn't want to do so. I'm lagging behind from my friends, my coursemates. I felt the pressure of being the perfect daughter for my parents, the perfect sister for my brothers, and the perfect friend for my friends. All this while, i'm lying to myself. I thought I'm mature enough to decide, to be myself and to ignore what people thinks about me. I'm just a liar!

Yes, i need time. But how much time i need? How much more? I dunno, really dunno. Time will tell, Sandz used to say. Hopefully time really could tell.

Thanks to Sandz, Jules, Sandra, Chai Ling, Kat, and all my friends who's been supportive all this while. I'll need to recharge myself, starting over a new life and a new me. I'm gonna be strong again, for myself, not for others. Promise.

Road back home -A marriage of accounting, planning, and acting skills

What a jovial mood i'm in. Nothing particular exciting but just felt good, at least until now. Gonna go back home later on a 2 1/2 hours of bus travel... Sigh... Just realized that I've been travelling back home like this for years. During my uni days (hah, sound like it's been so long!), i couldn't afford to travel back home every weekends/month. Too far away and the only transport available is airplane. So, I went back twice or a year, sometimes during holidays, sometimes during term break. Remembering back then, we students are really good in calculating the lowest expenditures to go back home.. Many of us had actually mastered all the required skills (accounting and planning skills) and can easily passed off as travel agents or accountants. We even mastered our acting skills especially to the staffs in airlines booking agency and airports ( it's due to the fact that we are almost certain to bring overweight luggage every time we stepped on an airplane).. The who...

My funny friend and I

It's funny how it all started. We hated, or perhaps in a better definition, "dislike" each other when we first met. Both of my closest friends were someone that wasn't pleasant having around at first. Probably i'm the one who need to be blamed for not trusting people easily. This particular friend of mine was my schoolmate* in uni (*noted that school here refers to School of Psychology and Social Work, not secondary school/high school/primary school). We heard about each other, we disliked each other, but in a very unexpected way, we became friends after attending a same class in our 2nd year! (God have it's own reason i guess..) She was not in my course by she took on of the subject in my course as an elective. And after the IVAC ( Inter-University AIDS Conference) 2004, we became even closer. Closer than any of my coursemates whom I've accustomed with their presence in my uni life for 2 years. I was really skeptical at first. How can a person trust some...

Face-o-lo-gy

One night, my Ah Yee (My Aunt, mum's sister) said to me: "Ah Ling ah, your nose is big and fleshy. It indicates that you will be having a good life in the future." Literally means that I will earn big bucks in the future. Yay! Money come money come... "But your nostrils can see the sky (whatever it means) , it means you are like me! Earn big and spend big. But no worries, you won't get poor." Haha, so I can spend whatever I want from now on?? "You have a round face, lots of bak (means meat or flesh in Hokkien), indicates that you will get early recognition from your boss. Hmm, not bad." Yeah, not bad huh. Should tell my boss and ask for a raise soon! " Your eyebrows are quite nice. Dark and long. It means you will get a good husband in the future. But... wait , where did u get this scar?? Haiya, its not that good la like that. But again the scar not that big, shouldn't be a problem la I think. Hm.." So is it good or not??! How come ...
