Some family friends and my family decided to have another gathering after the Deepavali lunch we had in SP.So,we had it the day after Christmas at my house.We had turkey which was not bad,salad,soup,garlic bread which was later improvised by adding cheese,sausages,mash potatoes,apple pie,jelly,ice cream,wine and non-alcoholic but taste like wine.
Do we look like sisters?
Yesterday morning..i had my first visit to the old folks home.I have always wanted to visit such places and see how it is like but never seemed to get the chance.
So,followed Aunty Amelia and her church friends to Pokok Sena to visit two old folks home.Quite a number of us went.It was a good experience for me and also fun cause got the chance to do something that can make others happy.
After the holidays..I have been so busy..don't know what i was really busy doing.But i really didn't have time to sit down sometimes.
Morning i will get up a little late cause usually sleep late at night.Will start my day with house chores and giving all my pets food (fishes and the pups).Afternoon...will usually be either still cleaning the house or out with friends or like today was at Aunty Amelia's house punching,not people or sandbag but paper (can check out her blog to see what i mean).Evening will be gardening,playing with the pups or enjoy a little while of tv or playing badminton.After dinner.....watch tv or read my storybook until almost 1am before i go sleep.
So,that is what i have been doing lately.May sound a little boring and routine but it is actually FUN especially today when i get to sit down and do things together with friends.More awaits me as the thing i am doing is still not done.So looking forward to the final result but i am SO NOT LOOKING FORWARD to the body aches (Alyssa will know what i mean.Right,Alyssa?)
PS: Why is my dance list still empty? =(
This morning my aunt told me about an accident involving someone i thought i didn't know.I was upset but i didn't know who it was so...not that bad.
Then,just now..when my cousin told me about it again and told me who it was,i realised that i know who she is.This lady is my childhood friend's mum.But the reality didn't hit me that hard until i saw it in the Chinese newspaper.
These are some of the photos from the newspaper..
When i was young,my grandma used to bring me to their house to play with this girl.Her house is like a temple because her mother,i think,can communicate with the God or something like that.All my friends have been free for so long and FINALLY it is my turn.Just finished my last paper today.
Overall,the exam was okay but tough =(
I am FREE....So,going to make myself busy with FUN stuff...such as going to go SHOPPING later with my cousin and sis,another round of shopping with mum and sis tomorrow,then only go back to AS.Once i am back home,i have lots of plans but don't know which to start.
First i have to keep asking my dance sir to arrange a class for me (which i have already started but still no class),finding people to play badminton with me,shopping for plants for the garden,start and finish the frames,more shopping and....don't remember what else i have to do.
I just remember that i have to enjoy myself cause this is only a SHORT break and after this break,it is going to be another round of TORTURE.
So...HAVE FUN!!
Finished my 2nd paper yesterday..which also means ONE more to go and i am free for...three weeks..
Morning woke up early to do my final revision...didn't enter much because i was still so sleepy and tired.But what to do...
After lunch,loaded my stuff into the car and off to take my exam.Off all the days to do some road maintenance,they had to choose on a Friday when it is already jammed up.Was a little afraid that we (my sis and me) would be late for the exam.Luckily we managed to reach there 20 minutes before.
After exam,at FIVE,started our journey back to AS.Keep getting into jams which was so horrible.No such thing as that in AS and that is why i am so GLAD to be staying here and not anywhere else.So...took me THREE HOURS to reach AS..from 5pm till 8pm.
Came back home,quickly had my dinner and off to dance.And guess what...no more class for me cause it is cancelled for good.I joined the beginner thinking that a new friend of mine will be there.But she didn't turn up so i was there..standing and listening to the sir talking (most of it i have heard maybe twice) Luckily he didn't charge me cause i was basically just standing there for an hour.
Back to my class being cancelled..all thanks to those people who are not commited into it.I have been changing lessons because of it.The last time was because of that too.The people will not come and then class cancelled.
Since i started learning in MS,i have to rush back every week for class and have to skip dinner sometimes because that is the ONLY class i can make it.Now,when i can make it (maybe i will start driving back from Penang) and i will be on holiday starting next week,the class has to be cancelled.Really so......
Hopefully,i will be able to find at least 5 people to start a class in Taman Golf's new dancing studio.Don't mind starting from the basics,just want to have a class that can continue and last long.Not keep cancelling and all that...That will not only waste my time but money as well.Keep paying to learn the same thing over and over again...
So..anybody staying in AS who is INTERESTED in Latin dance,will be COMMITTED and free on weekends (maybe Saturday or Sunday) let me know la..
Dance...dance...dance... PS: Starting to think about having my own dancing studio in my FUTURE HOUSE.Whoever becomes my husband (if i have one)..please remember that =)
I so love to dance...but only Latin and maybe ballroom (haven't tried that)
I think i had this passion all along just that it was always hiding in some dark corner.
When i was young,if i am not mistaken,i was at my aunt's house..and all of them gathered round me and ask me to do the twist and i have to go down and up.Well,as i already said i was YOUNG at that time,so i did and enjoyed myself cause there were people watching me.No more the 'twist' after that.
I also used to LOVE watching any movies that had dance element in it.INNOCENT STEP is one of my FAVOURITE which i can never get bored.Watching those movies make me want to dance and BE like them ONE DAY...but to me,all that was just a fantasy and dream.
Finally,one day when i was in Form 6,one of my best friend asked me if i wanted to learn Latin dance.I made up my mind immediately that i will..but later when i asked mum about it,she was reluctant to let me cause the instructor was a guy.I had to plead and give all the reasons that i can think of just for her to say 'YES'..Finally,we came to a conclusion that i will give it a try and see how it goes.And since then.....
The feeling i get when i am dancing...it just makes me forget about everything,all the stress,unhappy things,worries...and makes me feel happy.I can be myself and really enjoy.
So many things that i like doing...playing the piano or the drum,playing badminton,swimming,playing with the pups,shopping....but nothing feels more satisfying that dancing,even getting good results.Because they all gives me only that ONE moment of happiness whereas dancing can even make me dream when i sleep at night.
I am talking so much about dance and how much i love it but it doesn't mean i am good at it.Dance for the fun of it.But,if i DO get better in it,then there will be another level of 'I LOVE DANCING' and fun-ness....
I think i better stop now.I can go on and on about it,just afraid that those reading will think i am crazy.Haha...
Conclusion about dancing...I LOVE it and can't live without it.Dancing has really changed my life and the feelings that i get from it is indescribable..
I don't know whether i should start to panic or not...

Should i shout for 911 now.....??
Today is the day when EVERYTHING seems to NOT go RIGHT...
Usually in the morning,if mum asks to clean the porch and bathe the pups,i will just do it.But i don't know what is WRONG with me...i just felt that i have to ONLY study and not do it.So i ended up doing it RELUCTANTLY which all of you will know...doesn't feel nice.
Spent the afternoon doing that cause i woke up quite late.
While cleaning up,bro asked if i wanted to watch movie in the new cinema.I decided that i will allow myself to go IF i finish studying at 6.30pm.There i was from 4.00pm studying..and guess what time i finished...6.45pm.The movie that we wanted to watch starts at 7pm.So it was either we RUSH like mad or MISS it.Asked mum for permission and she didn't really like the idea of rushing..so back to the books till 7.30pm.After that..the brain just won't move and studying seems to be so ANNOYING even though i was doing quite okay in the exercises.Can't imagine if i didn't go okay..i think i would have torn the book into two.
Lie down awhile to try relax and get back to studying...FAILED.
End up playing SDO-X till now...still does not feels RIGHT.
Only a little more studying to do before i finish all the chapters..but i don't feel like studying.
WHAT SHOULD I DO........?
The nursery that i used to work organised an early Christmas Party for the kids and their parents.So,sis,her friend and me went to help out at 8am (I have not gotten up THIS early for a very long time)
My studies for the day had to PAUSE for this day =) Reasons to pause..How often do i do this?It is good to de-stress and have a little fun.
I always don't mind helping out especially with events like this cause it is SO FUN with the teachers...talking,joking,teasing...although once i reach home and after taking a bath,it is straight to bed for at least an hour.FALL FOR YOU
By Secondhand Serenade
While i was going through the songs that bro downloaded..saw this,listened to it and INSTANTLY fell in love with it.
The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core
But hold your breathe
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Your impossible to find
This is not what I intended
I always swore to you i'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may of failed
But I have loved you from the start
Ohhhh
But hold your breathe
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible
So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words
Cuz talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When your asleep
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I wont live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Your impossible to find
As you all know...i now have 3 dogs at home,2 of them are pups.
This is not about the pups but about the other one,Brownie.He is almost 12 dog years which is equivalent to 84 human years.Recently,we found him to be so inactive,no running around,not much barking except when he gets excited about his daily walk,keep following anyone who passes him,basically..just not like how he was.
And then one day,when we were having our dinner and he was as usual,sitting beside,waiting for his DINNER as well..we noticed that if we move the food in front of him,there were no response from him.He just stared at the same place when the food would have been on his right or left.After awhile,then only will he move..
So,the next day,we went to the vet without him.It is a nightmare bringing him cause he gets so nervous and scared that he whines and anybody who has to hold him will be all scratched.We told the vet about his condition and hoping that there will be a cure.He said it must be a cataract.Operation can be performed but the technology and all that kind of stuff have not reached Malaysia.In other countries,to do it is EXPENSIVE.Alternatives?.....N-O-N-E.Not even anything to apply or medicine to stop the progress.Only thing is to take some vitamins with the hope that it will not deteriorate.
It is so difficult nowadays as he keeps walking into things.Can't imagine what it is like for him slowly losing his sight.Even if we have to pay a thousand or so,and considering that his life span is only up to 13-14 years,we still think it is worth it.Not only is it easier for us,but he also does not have to suffer.
Human cataract can be removed so easily nowadays....why can't they figure out something for the dogs as well and have it in Malaysia?
It has been almost A YEAR since I last sat for an exam.
So,you can imagine how rusty the brain is.
Since the start of November,I have not been going for lectures (there aren't any also cause we cancelled all =D ) and have been staying at home.
Beginning of the week was spent..playing badminton,being a busybody,taking care of the pups,dancing,watching tv,playing SDO-X...basically anything besides studying.And because of that,everything on my timetable got delayed and also i got more to do during the second week.
Today,last of day of the second week...managed to finish on time this week.Why?Because i didn't want to the extras.In order to reach my target for the day and because i was lazy to study during the day,had to spent a few nights studying till late at night.Only yesterday did i OBIDIENTLY finish it early..so rewarded myself with shopping and also whole night of tv.Now,it is only 5.45pm which means i have the rest of the day to do ANYTHING i want besides studying..That's the nice part of torturing myself for hours at a time.
Hopefully i will be this GOOD for the following weeks....

AHHHH.....!!
I am SO TIRED!
Been exercising too much i think.Whole body is aching,worst than an old lady.
Played badminton on Sunday,Tuesday and Thursday.Is that a little too much?If i don't think so my body does..Yesterday my legs were aching till it was so difficult for me to concentrate on my studies.Read two or three lines and had to massage the leg.Luckily by the time i was about to sleep,it was better so could get my rest.
Today had dance class.No stamina to dance,complete a part of the routine (not the whole song) was breathless,and the sir forced me through three rountines.My postures were so out because my body just won't listen to me and refuse to be how it is suppose to.Aih..
Being tired is one thing,getting stressed is another.
These few days,I have not been feeling well.Every morning,wake up and it is tummy not well,don't feel like eating,feel like vomitting.Maybe the body knows that I am going to force it to sit through hours of torture which will only end next month.Not only that,pimples have been popping out one after another too.So sickening..
And i thought that the exercises will help reduce the stress....
SIGH........
I said before that i will update you all on the puppies progress but then..was so busy taking them for their jabs and at the same time travelling up and down Penang..didn't have the time to blog about it.
A lot of difference?
These days...
What do i do?Hm....mostly getting stressed up cause i have to force myself to study and resist all the temptations at home.Whatever that can get me away from studying are temptations..So,usually by night time,i will be regretting for not studying enough during the daytime and thinking of whether i should go to the State Library to study.But when morning comes....a lot of things will make me change my mind such at the very hot weather,not enough time,difficult to find parking....all sorts that did not exist when i was considering it at night.
Since i get stressed up,so will have to release my them.What do i do?At first,it was going out shopping until the $$$ ran out.Then,it was going to play badminton with friends which was so fun because you get to laugh,joke around and forget for a moment about those books waiting for you at home.But to get friends to play is so difficult these days as everyone is either busy studying or working..so mummy asked me to join her group.Well..i have only one thing to say about playing with them,VERY TIRING..because i have to do all the running since i am the youngest there.Luckily,i have been playing with my cousins before this,so my body didn't ache that much.
That's what i have been doing recently..
Just found out that my sister has declared herself unavailable to blog until after the exams...should i declare that too?
My classes have ended.We (course mates and me) cancelled our classes for the whole month of November to prepare for our exam in December.So,the last day of each lecture,we had our own photography session.
F2 - Management Accounting
F3 - Financial Accounting
Nowadays i am getting so LAZY to blog.There are things for me to write but then lazy to upload the photos..So if my blog today is EXTRA boring then you know why...
Two places that i am going to blog about are at Penang Gurney...
This is lunch that i had with coursemate.My comment for this place is...food is not bad,just VERY BIG portion and the tomyam is not worth the price.Seafood tomyam,small portion costs us RM12..only a little fish,squid,prawn and mushroom..as in a little okay?Small,thin slices..We ordered fried rice which tasted nice but forgot that ordering from this kind of places..we should have ordered less (3 people eating but order for two cause you can see the leftovers)
*Forgot to take photos before eating..
The famous hawker food at Gurney Drive..First of all,be early if want to eat here,around 7pm.The food,for me,very disappointing.Not much choices (imagine,no hokkien mee),expensive (3 adults and a kid,RM50 and we were not full) and doesn't taste good (rojak tasted only of prawn paste)...Anyway,the scenery was nice.These are the photos...
