Alright...this is my third time trying to type this (hopefully) short update! Arrrghhh at first I was all fire up to write and after a few lines, my com battery died. The second time it was..well my fault lar..i accidently closed the window..So let's hope this stays..well here goes....

I'm back again! Phew after a short period of MIA (oh alright I guess that was understating it..) I feel quite fired up to start blogging again..For those skeptics who think I'll MIA again..well I'm here to prove you wrong and also to state my reasons for keeping quiet all this time. You can call it procrastination but I'll call it a quest for perfection. Maybe I was a little too ambitious trying to learn html language (for who knows what) so that I can put up a slightly nicer (ok..understating again..) a waayyyy nicer blog than my current one and also learning how to add in pictures (see I told you I don't even know the simplest thing about blogging!).

Ok enough about me welcoming myself back (which reminds me of this song called Welcome Back by Mase..it was mainly about him singing a song welcoming him back to the music industry) so you get my drift lar! Ok a quick summary of what's major (or not tat major but something different from my ordinary life in an ordinary day)been happening since Feb till now..

 MAY

Went to Pulau Perhentian for a 4D/3N stay in Perhentian Island Resort..it was goooorrrggeeeouuusss! The beach was so clean and white and the sand was so fine..you could see fishes swimming up at the shore and even encountered a stingray or two near the shore line. We went for snorkeling at the beach area (you don't really have to swim far to see some corals n hundreds of fish) and also the deeper area (which had more corals & much much bigger fishes). Where we stayed, the next resort was called Coral Beach Resort. It really lived it to it's name caused it had many coral areas even at the shallow end. So we spend nearly half a day exploring that area and feeding the fish (the fishes there were really fierce..one of it even bit Johnny's leg..guess he must have thought it was some kinda food lar). Most of my pics are gone except those that I have uploaded earlier ( my com HDD crashed and I didn't make any backup copies!!! )

JULY

Went for a minor operation due to a parotid growth near my jaw line. Well it's been there for a few months which all the while I thought was just a swollen limp node. Due to a friend's urge (thank Giap!), I went and had it check it out. Turns out it was a growth which the doctor assured me is benign but necessary to remove. It seems that it's pretty common among women in their 40's-60's. Hey I'm not that old but who knows, maybe I am more matured than my age (Haha yea right...and yea I can hear you laughing your head off!). Anyway I came out of the OT (Operation Theater) in one piece but veryy blurr. The doc had cut a pretty long line down the side of my neck and part of my outer ear (it's not as gross as it sounds) and took about 35 stitches (so I guess it can be considered a major op la). And so I was on MC for a month (half back in Melaka..one of my longest stay at home since I came to KL) and a pretty good rest! (Will upload the pics once I get it)

AUGUST

Mom just turn the big five-O. Was planning to give her a nice holiday but haven't had enough to save for a cruise ticket for her yet...my apt is totally draining my wallet! Anyway we had a nice family dinner (it's been a while since I join any family dinners anymore :( Something I miss very much but usually I can't make it back for it). Anyway the pics for it also is lost foreveer!! Sighhh WHY DIDN'T I BURN A COPY!! arrghhh learn a lesson from me...always burn a copy of your pics once you upload it into you com.

SEPT-NOV

Nothing much happen in my life but the world around me had changed and I didn't realise that. I always thought that our country is safe, secured and we are getting better economically..(well maybe not the last part lar) but much to my chagrin, I realise the racism in our country is getting worse. It's not that it just happen..I guess racism has always been in us whether we are Chinese, Malay, Indian, or any other race but now it's getting so vocal. Guess I better come up with a back-up plan fast!

DEC

I am officially a quarter of a CENTURY old!!!!OMG...sighhh how time flies..especially when you are getting older.. but it's a special year for me & mom caused I am exactly half her age!! WOW..imagine she gave birth to me when she was my age! Me???! I'm not anywhere near getting engaged..not that I plan to anytime soon..but I guess our generation is different from our parents as theirs was from their parents. Now, we got so much we can and want to do before we settle down. For me, I want to travel, take diving licence, go for adventure holidays, try out extreme sports (not all!) and find my purpose & ministry in life before I'll make a decision to settle down. Oh and another thing happened this month..exactly on my birthday! CHARLENE got married!!! The first youth to say the biggest 2 big words you'll ever say in your life... I DO!! It was a simple wedding but nice because so many people came to celebrate the big day with her! (will post some pics when I get them). Me and Charlene go way back since Form 1. We were the first group of youth from Bethel Church together with Andrew, Hebert, Harvey, Wee Lien, Jay Mi, Shi Na, Nicholas, Matthew, Chester, Mabz & Nette.

So basically that's it! Haha I told myself I'm gonna keep this short but look what happen larrr...From raining to stop raining, from bright to night...but I really enjoyed penning this down while sitting in my office pantry, listening to the rain..too cold inside my office area..and also I can think better while breathing fresh air! Alright gotta go..everyone's gone..Cheerrioooo!
