Goodbye 2008, Welcome 2009!

This is my 16th post before the year ends since I 1st ever created my very own blog.Yohoo!! When I think back about it, it made me laugh cuz it dint even cross my mind before to own one..not before Charissa treathen to create one for me if I dont get started.Lol..But I must thanks her again for forcing me into this..cuz now I'm totally addicted into blogging. New Year's Eve will be the moment for me to reflect back my love for my love ones. This year have been such a great year for me. Everything went smoothly..even Santa granted my wish. What can I ask for more? I'll be 18 next year..this figure makes me sound so......old already.Haaahaa..Just hope that Year 2009 will be a fun, superb and great year for me. I had made up a list of my new year's resolutions:

1. Never make my parents sad or angry (I have been a good girl this year, haven't I?)

2. Study even harder

3. Hold on to my promise to him. He's be in my heart forever ♥♥

4. Pray that everything will be great for my sis in Russia

6. Spend more time with him

6. Treat my bro better

7. Go out for a vacation with my frens

8. Meet Santa

9. Improve my mandrin

10. Learn to eat chilli (which i doubt)

11. Shed some excess fats

The list can go on until forever. But the above are my priority..I'll try my best to fullfill all. There's no doubt 2008 has been the best year in 17 years of my life. To my dear sis, thanks for your support and encouragement during the times when I doubted my self and when I need you. All the best for you In Russia and everyone here is looking forward to meet you back in M'sia next year. By then, both of us will become aunty already..there will be an additional member to our family. I know you will be reading my blog too. Lots of *hugs and kisses* from everyone here. To my special one, Happy New Year to you too! Love you always..

p/s~ I cleaned up my closet. Took bout 2 hours to complete.:)

Even colour-coordinated my clothes and the hangers..lol

Love,
yin

L.O.V.E in the air

Is the feeling of being loved and cared by someone? If this is so, then, I hope it will last forever, will it? I hope you hold on to your promises..It was unbelieveable what happen last night. The best day in my 17 years of life. Thanks for making it real for me.

I Love You Forever With All My Heart

Seriously, I'm totally speechless now..feeling lk pouring all my heart now. I don't want ever to encounter a situation where my heart will be torn into two. I dont want to make a decision that I'll regret later, you understand? But, promise me that we will hold on to each other no matter what comes in our way.

Love,
yin

Butterfly

Oh, Mariah Carey is my favourite singer. Her voice are great and she's so beautiful. One of her song that I loves is Butterfly. It's very meaningful to me (I don't know bout you)..hehe.


When you love someone so deeply
They become your life
It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears
Inside
Blindly I imagined I could
Keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you
I must open up my hands
And watch you rise


Chorus

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly


Verse

I have learned that beauty
Has to flourish in the light
Wild horses run unbridled
Or their spirit dies
You have given me the courage
To be all that I can
And I truly feel your heart will
Lead you back to me when you're
Ready to land


Chorus

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly


Bridge

I can't pretend these tears
Aren't over flowing steadily
I can't prevent this hurt from
Almost overtaking me
But I will stand and say goodbye
For you'll never be mine
Until you know the way it feels to fly


Chorus (2 times)

To all my friends that went for NS, I'll miss you guys so much. Enjoy there k!

COUNTDOWN TO D-DAY

2 DAYS MORE!

SHOT!

Had a great Bbq Day!

Lk someone (you know who you are), said to me, happy times usually past very fast without you knowing it. Yesterday was one of my happiest day. I had a Bbq party at my house. Oh, it was absolutely fun! I wished I had more time with them. The ones that made it were Nancy, Grace, Jia Wern, Suk Chee, Tien Pao, Glynn and Suet Huey. Charissa and Wendy couldn't made it. Charis is in Bali while Wendy had transportation prob. Our group are not complete without you guys! Nvm..we shall meet each other very soon, maybe during CNY. Nancy was the 1st one whop arrived bout 3 pm. We chatted for a while. It seems lk me and her can read each other's mind. This bring me back to old memories where we usually talked during school days. Miss that..Seems lk she also growing algae at home.. hahaha. Later, Glynn and Grace arrived together. Glynn helped me with my blog stuff..thanks ya! We then baked some butter cakes but it was not very successful although its eatable. LOL..Chatted for awhile, joked, laughed and took some pics. Grace messing around with the knife, saying that she trying to commit suicide HAPPILY! lol..Grace, ppl dont end their life if they are happy and contented.

Later, Suk Chee and Tien Pao arrived. Tien Pao has a "great" parking skills, apparently her car hit a bunch of bouganvilla bush opposite my hse. LOL..We then played mahjong. Nancy was lk winning most of the time. Lucky, we din't played with money, if not I'll be hutang keliling pinggang. Haha..Dad helped us to set up the fire and my bro help to 'cucuk' the chicken wings. My bro was with us while my parents went out to my uncle house. I couldn't believesd my bro was so helpful..lol..he reminded me of someone. I din't realised that before, maybe I'm not a good sis after all. Started barbequing at bout 8 pm. We had sausages and fish balls too. Played around for a while, but its too hot so ended up my bro helped me to grill the chicken and sausages. My friends are capable to make silly jokes even using the sausages and fish balls (who started it arr? Grace?). We joked something bout stomach.We are saying that skinny ppl have bigger stomach. Grace siad that Gylnn has a abomasum. There's joke that we called Grace "cow". Its just a joke so dont ever get angry ya! I forget how we gave her this gelaran. Note the following conversation:

Grace: "Glynn, you got an abomasum. I think you ate 4 pieces of pizza that day"

Glynn: "I'm not a cow lar,pls. I thought you suppose to be are one? haha"

Suet Huey: "I can imagining Grace regurgitating her food now"

*everyone burst into laughter*

Grace: "At least I'm are not a rabbit. If not I had to eat my faeces"

*still laughing non stop*

Wenyin: " Ei Grace, if you are a cow, then we all drinking "your milk" now"

*Laughing even louder*

Wenyin: "Breath, everyone breath!"

U see, there's a lot of joke went on yesterday (even dirty ones).Lol..Bout 9.30 pm, everyone was so damn full that we cant move at all. AND Tien Pao is still grilling chicken there with my bro. She was suppposed to grill the chicken for us to eat but we are too full, so the chicken ended up in my bro stomach. Not to forget both of them improvised some method to grill the potatoes. Haha..good job Tien Pao! We called her our big sis yesterday night cuz she has her birthday earliest. Sorry ya you have to do all the jobs! We sat around, chatting and eating some jellies and "Guai Ling Gou" both made by Suet Huey and Jia Wern. I was so stuffed up that i think I gained bout 1kg overnight. Nancy, Grace, Jia Wern and Glynn went back bout 10.15pm. Left me, Suet Huey, Suk Chee and Tien Pao continue to talk. Asked them bout their preparation for college and everything. Tien Pao an Suk Che went back bout 12 cuz Suk Che's mom called. Suet Huey's parents was downstairs talking to my parents until bout almost 1 am before they left. So, I had a good conversation with Suet Huey. It's sad to think that most friends are going apart now. After they left, I continued onlining, chatted with Yi Liang for a while. Couldn't believe he stayed up until so late which is a rare occasion. He was typing a letter..A LETTER?!! Lol..he's full of mysteries (opps..don't get angry ya!). Anyway, I respect his privacy so dint asked further bout it. I lingered bout my blog for a while, slept at about 3 am. Managed to continue the novel for 30 pages..couldnt wait for the ending.

BBQ day!

Bbq Day Is Here! Yeah!

Woke up early today for another driving lesson..i don't feel like waking up actually cuz the previous day was quite tiring. I don't remember whether I slammed the alarm or it just din't ring. Lucky dad came in to wake me up, if not then i'll be late for lesson. Saw a new msg in my phone..it was from Yi Liang. Guess what..its 2.30 in the morning. Sorry ya! din reply. I just went to sleep..managed to read only lk 20 pages yest. I think i realised there's a msg coming but i thought I was dreaming so I just shoved in under my pillow. Turn out I'm not dreaming after all.lol..He told me he was still reading his novel. Trying to break my record? haha..Boy,just don't tell your grandpa or anyone I teached you to read until past midnight or else i'll be history!

Uncle came to fetch me bout 11 am..had my lesson until 1.15pm. I had a trial driving test today. There's this Malay uncle became my tester. Oh Boy! His's voice its so damn LOUD! I think Mr. Leong saw my expression after I heard the Malay guy voice, he assured me that that man ususally talks that loud and he's not scolding or anything. Made me feel better. The trial test was not bad after all cuz that man didn't talk much, and he used sign language as in his hand to give me instuction. He din't even say out loud asking me to chnage the gear. He just pointed at the gear and expect me to understand it. Lucky Mr. Leong taught me many times on where to change gear. Not to mention that when he asked me to go out of the car after the test is done, he just pointed at the door and said nothing! I was lk WHAT?? Very blur..i thought i did something wrong. Can't he just open his mouth and tell me. Even one word "OUT" is also enough..at least better than pointing at the door. Monday will be last lesson before my test on tuesday. Still praying hard..

Four years ago, exact same date as today, 220000 people were killed by the deadly Indian Ocean Tsunami. Wenyin is praying that all these souls will rest in peace and hope that this natural disaster wont happen again in the future.

Tonight I'll be having BBQ with my friends at my hse. Looking forward for it. It will definitely fun! I'll blog bout it tomorrow. I think I'll get some sleep before Grace come. Bye!

Love,

Human Traces by Sebastian Faulks

I had nothing better to do so I guessed I'll just blog a little bout this book I'm now reading. It was introduced by Yi Liang two days ago to me to kill my boredom... I'm half way reading it (not exactly half) but it is quite interesting for now. If you love everything bout philosophy, then you will definitely love this book. This is the first book written by him that I read. I'll definitely add him into my list of fav author.

The cover

The review:
The evolution of psychiatric treatment is explored through the intertwined lives of two 19th-century men.Faulks's epic is as daunting as the path of his main characters. Frenchman Jacques Rebiere, fascinated by science, is brother to Olivier, whose slow descent into madness from middle childhood drives Jacques's search for answers. Englishman Thomas Midwinter is desperate to escape the life planned out for him by his domineering parents. Early in their period of discovery, the two cross paths in a chance meeting precipitated by Sonia, Thomas's older sister. The men's conversation through their language barrier is the start of a long and productive partnership. Faulks (On Green Dolphin Street, 2002, etc.) takes great care in constructing his latest work to fit the narrative style of the period of which he writes. He uses lengthy scenes and a vast array of characters. Perspective shifts occasionally seem awkward: third-person narrative, letters, journal entries, first-person perspective, speeches. The story tracks the nascent profession across Europe and around the world. Each man is on an individual search for meaning, and their experiences run the gamut of dramatic moments. There are loves lost and found, career successes and failure, times of camaraderie and of estrangement. Behind the players, Faulks explores the evolution of thought about . . . thought. The time period covers the shedding of the old ways of thinking and the shift to a new respect for the power of the human mind. The change was arduous at times. The central theme for the author seems to be the delicate balance between the strength of the human spirit and the frailty of human emotion. Logic and reason will be challenged by love in all its forms. Though the work is somewhat confined by the period framework, Faulks paints a tableux of 19th-century life that is remarkably revealing.Epic in scope, this is an imaginative look at the rise of medicine for the mind.

His other works of perfection:

A Trick of the Light Bodley Head, 1984
The Girl at the Lion d'Or Hutchinson, 1989
A Fool's Alphabet Hutchinson, 1992
Birdsong Hutchinson, 1993
The Fatal Englishman: Three Short Lives Hutchinson, 1996
Charlotte Gray Hutchinson, 1998
The Vintage Book of War Stories (editor with Jorg Hensgen) Vintage, 1999
On Green Dolphin Street Hutchinson, 2001

Engleby Hutchinson, 2007
Devil May Care Penguin, 2008

P/S~ I just realised that Charlotte Gray was his work too. The movie is awesome. This make Human Traces the second of his work I seen. I think Birdsong will be nice, so for those with extra money, buy me one ya!

Tiring Day...

I was quite tired today cuz woke up at 8 am, went to help Mr. Wong to arrange tables and chairs at his school. I only slept lk 4 hours the night before 'cause reading novel. I din't realise it was so late until i saw the clock showing 5 mins to 4 am. I was lk SHOT!! Went for breakfast, then helped to arrange the tables and chairs for almost every class. Bro was there too..OH MAN! they are full of dust..not to mention LIZARDS! But doing all this arranging reminded me of school last time ( actually its not that long ago). That's what I had been doing since Standard 1 especially when you are a prefect, you can't run away from doing all this stuff. It is as though part of your duty. Anyway, I felt glad to help Mr. Wong, and since I don't have anything to do at home , so why not? Carried tables and chairs from one place to one place. Quite tiring though but i enjoyed it. There's a few kids helping Mr. Wong too and for goodness sake, they are even stronger than me but half of my size .When I saw them carrying the tables with no help at all, it's lk WAO!!. Malunya..hahaaha.We finished bout 1 pm, Mr. Wong treated us a big lunch then went back home. I thought i dislocated my wrist just now 'cuz during lunch time there's a KRAK! sound from my wrist. Even my bro heard it. I freaked out almost cuz a hand is the most important asset for a pianist.Lucky, it was nothing, just a lil pain but its fine.PHEW! I felt strange today. Don't know why..maybe because lack of sleep..
Reached home bout 2.30 pm, had a quick bath then again went out for my driving lesson. Today's lesson was quite interesting." Interesting" as in my car reversed itself lk twice when went up the slope. I think I cursed a lot of time (uncountable) in the car. Fortunately, Mr. Leong was not in the car with me at that time.You know what..The air-condition in the car spitted out ice flakes. I'm not joking, it happened a few times. At 1st I just felt some cold subtance dropped on my hand. I thought it was just water but then Mr. Leong told me it was ice actually. Lol.. There's only a few trainee there so I did not need to wait to long for very section. I am taking my test next tuesday. Pray to God that i'll pass..start to worry bout it already. Oh ya did i mention that Nancy PASSED her exam? It's so great for her.. waiting for my turn now.
There's this conversation between me and my friend bout the events that first time happened to us in year 2008. I din't realise that i have been through so many "First Times'" this year. I had made a list of it:

1. 1st time be so far away from my dear sis
2. 1st time I saw mom and dad cried so much
3. 1st time I went to a prom and with a date
4. 1st time I played basketball game in the arcade
5. 1st time I drove a car
6. 1st time I had a masak-masak session with my siblings on Mother's Day
7. 1st time i felt the bliss of shoping
8. 1st time I lost my taste bud which came back only after 4 hours (freaked me out all thanks to the green chili padi)
9. Ist time went out for a vacation without sis
10. 1st time became a secretary for the prefectorial board with all the papers work
11. 1st time went for a interview for scholarship

I'm sure there will be more "First Time" in my future and there will be also 2nd ,3rd time and go on for the above events. Year 2009 is coming soon and everything that happened this year will soon be history in my life. I wish that the upcoming year will be a better year and more "First Time" will happen in my life. For everyone out there especially my love ones, Wenyin wish you guys all the best in your future undertakings and may God Bless You:) Dozing off.....

Love,

Merry Christmas to all my love ones

Christmas is finally here after so long! Nothing much happen on this special day. I started my day with my driving lesson with MR. Leong. This was my 5th lesson and hey, this is the 1st time he let me drive more than 60 km/h. Now i understood why some ppl like to speed cuz its FUN!! haha..but don't ever learn it anyway. I almost utter the F word in front of my instructor today instead i accidently said SH*IT! cuz there's a car that trying to overtake me and bang my car. Hope he didnt realise it. Today's lesson was longer cuz tomorrow got trial and Oh MAN! my feets are numbed. SERIOUSLY, after the lesson, I couldn't feel my feet anymore. Adding my arms are sore too cuz have to use much strength to turn the stering. I went back bout 11 am and discovered my parents just woke up. I was lk WHAT?! I woke up at 7 am and they slept until 11 am? That's not so fair!! Then, we went for breakfast (actually its brunch), came back dozed off for a while then watched THE PINK PANTHER MOVIE on AXN. I watched it b4 but still its hilarious. For those that watched it before you know exactly what i meant. Lol..at least my parking skills are better that Inspector Clouseau. Later, my bro ajak us to play mahjong together with my parents and went on until 7.oopm. Luck is not on my side today.Haiz..We had quite a heavy dinner tonight. We ate steak ( it's not exactly steak), just with some fries, garlic bread, beans and salad. Helped mom to fry the chicken fillet but ran away half way calling for dad's help 'cause the oil kept on spilling up. It's not my fault but the chicken's fault. I remembered the last time we had this steak session is during Mother's Day this year where my sis, my bro and me prepared everything for the dinner and my mom just waiting to taste our cooking. At least that time my sis was here. To my dearest Sis, Merry Christmas Ya! This your 1st time celebrate it so far away from home and we miss you so much. Too bad that In Rusia you celebrate X'mas in Jan. I was hoping it will snow (yea rite) instead it rained. So much for a white christmas. My Christmas this year is simple but Merry. I hope you guys are having fun too.

Christmas Eve Outing :)

I went out with Yi Liang today for Xmas Eve outing and we have a blast!! We were suppose to have a bowling game 1st before lunch but there's many ppl in there as in really HUGE crowd. So, we went around and decided to have a basketball game(I don't know the name of the game) at the arcade. GOSH we had to throw really fast the balls, we lk partically just grabbed balls and threw them without time to think. It was extremely fun anyway as we got 217 score for our 2nd attempt. No bad for me who 1st time played it (adding all the sweats). Then we played a table game ( What is it called??). Its a game that we have to hit a piece of disc into the goal on the opposite sides.Sad to say i just got one point out of five..haha. He's lk the master of the game. Later we went out for a lunch at Pizza Hut and my stomach was so bloated. I might just skip dinner for today. Yi Liang told me something bout the knife we used to eat pizza..ewwwwwwww..GROSS!!But i dont think i will mention it here cuz you guys would be avoiding Pizza hut for the rest of your life. I dont want to get sued by Pizza Hut.We then checked out the bowling centre again. The places are still full but we put our name in the waiting list anyway. There's 3 ppl before our name so we hanged out there for a while and challenged each other for a mini football game. SURPRISE!! I actually won the game lk YEAH!! It was all luck anyway. Totally fun!. We got our place, played two rounds and there's no doubt he's good at bowling. Got almost prefect score everytime. Me on the other hand can the dubbed as the QUEEN OF 'LONGKANG'. I dont understand why my ball does not move in a straight line, keep on entering the drain. I think someone jinxed it..lol. You can guess the winner anyway. I only got 49 for the 1st game and he's way far higher score than me (71). My 2nd game was better ( me-73 him-88). At least the gap was not that far..haha.Oh..did i mentioned that he was doing some experiment with the ball. He let the ball roll slowly trying to see whether it can strike down the pins.Too bad that the ball went in wrong direction and fall into the drain and the WORSE news it it stucked there. The woman officer in charge there had to walk all the way to the middle of the lane to pick it up. Oppps..sorry M'am! Went down to Lemon for a drink and chatted for a while. Went back bout 5 something. I enjoyed it a lot.

Spring Cleaned Study Room

Today, I cleaned my study room. Its was a huge mess in there since after SPM. I was lazy to tidy it up but mom insisted so what to do? Suppose to start after lunch but onlined until 5 pm. I was asking Charissa and Wendy bout blog stuff. Thanks to them all the question marks in my head are now gone. Thanks ya! So i started bout 5.30 pm and ended 9pm excluding dinner.

PHEW!!

I couldn't believe there so much rubbish in here lk 3 bags of black plastic bags FULL. Whoa!!My dad came in and thought he was in other dimension. He was impressed. Hahaha..I felt a fear feeling when i rearranged the exam papers. Mood spoiler!! I just shoved them into the cupboard. Felt like burning them away but my bro needs them. Hope my room will remain in this cleaned condition long enough before I have to clean it up again. I have to start tidying up my bedroom soon. Maybe thursday but its Christmas. I'll see how..I found my another passion. WENYIN enjoyed tearing up papers. Weird? Serious..i practically teared up my exercise books which i think no use at all now. Just take out the papers that cxan be used as kertas conteng. I feel quite happy doing it. Haha..I collected almost a stack of papers.

In mood for Christmas

Countdown to Christmas:

2 DAYS MORE!!!!

Yeah! I lurveee Christmas season every year. I still remember when i was young, me and my siblings will hang Christmas socks on the wall. Its not red though..haha. We just find the nicest one and hang it there. Childish huh?? I guess that most kids are looking forward for Christmas morning to open their presents. I was naive at that time so when i saw there's present in my socks i'll be jumping up and down, running a round with it. But as time past, I began to realise that Santa doesnt exist at all.( Does he??) I knew that the presents was given by my parents to make me happy. But then I never tell them that i actually realised it. After all it will spoil the mood so what's the point? Anyhow, I still looking forward to Christmas Day every year. You can get a lot of unexpected gifts. I had a totally different wish this year. I only told one person before as I knew that it is not possible to hapen. But still wishing for it to come true..no harm rite?..hehe. Hope that my christmas this year will full of surprises.

Love,

yin

My 1st ever blog

I have a blog finally! Thanks to my friends though. I never thought before to have one. But i guess i need one now rite? haha..Have to keep my friends update bout me. Things are changing gradually. Friends are separating, going colleges, making new friends. How long can we hold on to each other? One year? Two year? Five years? or forever? I still wish I'm in high school..never break away from this circle. I hope things will work out. I'll continue more tomorrow..

Love,
