Last night I met up with my gfs for dinner and it was a great catching up session. A lot of updating, bitching and gossiping!! Smelly Melly is going to Melbourne soon... I’m so jealous (turning green)!! Hope you’ll have a blast (without a doubt I know you will have the time of your life) and Don't forget to text us. I really miss Melbourne! You know, once in while I'll reminisce and rekindle good old times with the gals. Everything was so easy; you didn’t have any worries...Just carefree. It’s definitely the best time of my life! Come to think of it, I miss the early Saturday mornings with Sandy to Vic Market for grocery shopping and hearty breakfast after that. The domestication lifestyle..not that I can’t have it here. Just that you tend to be reliant when your parents are around, correct? hmm...
I miss our hangout bunch of gals for coffee, dessert, shopping, clubbing (I'll never forget the first time in 'Next Blue' with Sandy, the clubbing nights at Lavish and Roti John for supper) etc etc.. The silly things you do, jumping tramps and trains, sugar high on desserts and OD on umeshu with Pam at Ajisen Ramen on her b'day! hahaha... we were laughing like mad! ROFL. The train rides with Pam to uni (not forgetting our hot chocolate and muffins... hehe... and me being late most of the time!), the group assignments, presentations and studying for finals in the public library...puts a smile on my face every time I think of it. The good times that we’ve shared will etch deep into our memories.
It’s a great historic story about gangster melodrama back in 1930s. The trailer was good but I personally think that it’s too draggy. It was a midnight movie and i was tired, so, maybe i didn’t really get to enjoy the movie. In my opinion, whether this movie worth my two cents? On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being “Not worth my money and time” and 10 “Great movie and I’ll watch it again” I’d rate it as 5.5.
Some things in life are bad, They can really make you mad, Other things just make you swear and curse. When you're chewing on life's gristle Don't grumble, give a whistle. And this'll help things turn out for the best.
And.... Always look on the bright side of life, (whistle) Always look on the light side of life, (whistle) If life seems jolly rotten, There's something you've forgotten, And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing. When you're feeling in the dumps, Don't be silly chumps. Just purse your lips and whistle, that's the thing.
And... Always look on the bright side of life. (whistle) Always look on the light side of life...
For life is quite absurd, And death's the final word, You must always face the curtain with a bow. Forget about your sin, Give the audience a grin, Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.
So always look on the bright side of death, Just before you draw your terminal breath,
Life's a piece of shit, When you look at it, Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true. You'll see it's all a show, Keep 'em laughing as you go. Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And always look on the bright side of life, Always look on the right side of life, Come on guys, cheer up. Always look on the bright side of life. Always look on the bright side of life. Worse things happen at sea, you know. Always look on the bright side of life. I mean - what have you got to lose? You know, you come from nothing, you're going back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!
Why do we have problems? The reason being is that we cling on to them and not let them get resolved. Firstly, is there really a problem? Will it matters in the long run? Or even a week? Try to look at it in a different perspective. Life becomes less stressful when you stop making a mountain out of molehills. My dad taught me to take things lightly. Don’t take it too hard on yourself because it only hinders you from moving forward. Learn how to take a step back and look at the problem from a macro view.
Accept the problem and stop resisting & STOP putting more energy into the problem. I know.. When it just exists, you’re all down, moody, cranky etc etc... Heard of this phrase? One apple spoils the whole bunch? If you think negatively, you’re just draining your energy by sulking and whining and not finding creative solutions to the challenge. Easy said than done! But if you indulge in this and think negatively about the whole problem it will not help but get upset at yourself. And you can’t expect anything positive to happen. All these are negative enforce and reinforcements.
If you could just try to accept it, brace with it and learn how to transcend with it, I’m pretty sure that the problem can be resolved in a matter of time. Sometimes it may take us a while to recognise them. However, we have to accept that the best solution is to back off and leave it alone. Meaning, we have to be realistic to see life and the problems that we face will not always obligingly adapt to suit us. We have to adapt ourselves in the circumstances and if it dictates that we have to change, then we have to change in order to solve the problem.
Besides this, you can ask friends for advices on what to do and how did they solve it in similar situations? By asking for help or even just venting out your anger and frustrations out can make you feel less stressful. Having someone by your side even if it is just for emotional support makes you feel better and you’d be surprised! Here's a quote:
Solving a problem can sometimes seem overwhelming and impossible. Try breaking the problem into smaller pieces and find solutions to those that can be resolved. By doing so you’ll reduce your anxiety level and then you can see things clearly. Don’t let negative thinking impact your emotions as it will cloud your judgements. Think positive!!
"Life is a seesaw of happiness and grief. Of well and sick. Of right and wrong. Of triumph and sacrifice. We cannot be at the same place at the same time. The highs and lows of our lives complement and supplement each other. That's why we are thankful in our blessings and optimistic in our sufferings"
A Beautiful song...A Beautiful Voice...Gloomy Weather...I Love the Weather...With a Cup of Hot Coffee... Enjoy the moment!!
For every beauty there's an eye somewhere to see, For every truth there's an ear somewhere to hear it. For every Love there's a heart somewhere to receive it.
Every year your birthday reminds me how fortunate and grateful I am that you are my Dad! Throughout the years, you've worked so hard to provide us a happy and wonderful life. You've been there to guide us, to love us unconditionally and to protect us. I'm so blessed to be under your wing, your protection and care. You have nurtured us, you have taught us important life lessons that I'll never forget! So... Daddy, Happy Birthday. May there be many more so we can enjoy our very special rapport. Love ya!! More than a mouse loves its cheese =)

Thank you for a Great Night... Next time text me when you're about to play This Moment ok? Sigh.. I don't wanna miss it again :(
Went for a check-up on Monday at Pristine Dental in Mid Valley and the dentist advised me to get it extracted to minimise the risk of infection in that area. It's not a normal extraction where a dentist could perform, apparently, the x-ray showed that my wisdom tooth is underneath the gum embedded in my jawbone and a surgery is needed to extract the tooth. When i heard "surgery" damn!!! that sounds painful..One of the roots of my wisdom tooth curves in and it anchors the tooth in the bone, meaning the surgeon has to be more aggressive.. Am seeking a second opinion soon before proceeding with the surgery.
Here are some facts..Please read!! Keeping your wisdom is a big No No:-
Crowd your teeth. Note:wear your retainer after braces, your teeth may still crowd.
Even thoughyour jaw is big enough to allow the wisdom tooth to grow, problems will occur when you're older. Because around the wisdom tooth, it's difficult to clean and will lead to cavities.
By keeping the wisdom tooth, a gum pocket is created and it will trap food. Due to this, cavities will be developed and it often leads to root canal. so... eventually you'll have to extract your tooth.
Have you had your wisdom tooth evaluated? Better do so...
Am i wiser? my wisdom tooth is forcing itself out!! It’s been aching since yesterday so much so that i can barely open my jaw. Wanted to take yesterday off but there were urgent work matters to attend to.. sigh.. i bore up with the pain the god damn whole day. I swear I was counting every second… The pain was unbearable and after work, i rushed to the nearest clinic in Bangsar “Medi-Clinic Lee & Goh”. Why Bangsar? Cuz i have to pick my dear sister up from work.
The doctor prescribed me ponstan and antibiotic to ease the pain and swollen gums. Went to Oh Papa across the street and bought black pepper curry puff to eat just so that i can take my meds. Not long after my medication…like what? half an hour? the pain is gone… i know.. temporary!! I felt so relieved… Phew!! Went to bed early AND now (6.00AM) me squinting my eyes writing this post is in PAIN & AGONY. I can hear the morning prayers from the mosque near my house.
My tooth is acting up on me again :( Went upstairs took a few bites and a cup of warm milo before taking the pain killers. I hate this feeling… I’m feeling so tired but can’t seem to fall back to sleep. There goes another ‘sigh’.. how the heck am i going to wake up at 9AM? Promised my mom to take her to Imbi market to have breakfast and marketing…And..my dental appointment is at 10.30AM with Pristine Dental.
Anyway..I’m gonna log off now.. Hopefully by listening to Emi Fujita will lullaby me to sleep… Nitezzzz
I know what I said Was heat of the moment But theres a little truth in between the words we've spoken Its a little late now to fix the heart thats broken Please don't ask me where I'm going Cause I don't know No I don't know anymore
It used to feel like heaven Used to feel like may I used to hear those violins playing heart strings like a symphony Now they've gone away Nobody wants to face the truth But you wont believe what love can do Till it happens to you Till it happens to you
Went to the old flat Guess I was trying to turn the clock back How come that nothing feels the same now when I'm with you We used to stay up all night in the kitchen When our love was new Oooh love I'm a fool to believe in you Cause I don't know No I don't know Anymore
It used to feel like heaven It used to feel like may I used to hear those violins playing heart strings like a symphony Now they've gone away Nobody wants to know the truth Until their hearts broken Don't you dare tell them What you think to do Till they get over You can only learn these things From experience When you get older I just wish that someone would have told me Till it happens to you Till it happens to you Till it happens to you
Good Song with a Good Book "The Opposite of Fate - Amy Tan"
Retail is her therapy.Good food is her drive to life. Sugar highs get her by.Greatly fascinated and intrigued by people. Believes in spontaneity and seizing the moments. Hostile once in a while. Optimistic. Trusts her instincts. Easily amused, and charmed by wit.
"Don't rely on someone else for your happiness and self worth. Only you can be responsible for that. If you can't love and respect yourself - no one else will be able to make that happen. Accept who you are - completely; the good and the bad - and make changes as YOU see fit - not because you think someone else wants you to be different."
