Got a shock of my life when my sister told me that one of my student has married. (I used to be a part-time tutor).
The most unbelievable thing is that, she was one of my brightest student but subsequently dropped out from school when she was 16 years old.
I taught her for 2 years, when she was still 13/14 years old. But I stopped tutoring her when my classes clashed with her timetable.
Sigh, wonder what would it be, if I continue to tutor her, am pretty sure she wont fall into the wrong crowd. She was like a sister to me.
This student of mine is a very pretty girl and it is not surprisingly that guys constantly try to court her. She does her homework diligently and did very well for her science subject. If my memory doesn't failed me, she even topped her class the first year I taught her.
Not sure what's got into her to take such drastic move to stop schooling but such a pity to have abandoned her education when she has so much in herself. I remembered when I was offered scholarships from UTAR & Nilai International, I wasn't quiet sure which to choose, and showed her some pictures for comparison. Obviously she chose Nilai, (Who wont? Given the resort-feeling kind of place)
Well, all i can say is just "Congratulation and great years ahead with your love ones".
P/S: She is not pregnant and she is 18 this year.
Why is everyone getting married in 2008??
1. My cousin sister - Lai Kuan
2. My ex-colleague - Syaridah
3. My colleague - Danny
4. My manager - Sarina
5. My ex-student - Xxx
6. My friend - Yu Yen (Soon to be :))
7. Myself - 2015

Have been busy
Yes, I have been busy with work and studies.
Been religiously studying after work for at least 1.5 hours. Not much I know but at least am doing it.
Oh gosh exam in 3 weeks time and Alec keep assuring me, still got 3 weeks la! -_-!! Cant blame him, he studied like 3 days before the finals.
I still have 48 questions to practise and 100 more pages to read.
And an audit file due Thursday morning...

Can I have this dance?
Can I Have This Dance Lyrics
[Gabriella]
Take my hand, take a breath
Pull me close and take one step
Keep your eyes locked on mine,
And let the music be your guide.
[Troy, Gabriella]
Won't you promise me (now won't you promise me, that you'll never forget)
We'll keep dancing (to keep dancing) wherever we go next
(chorus)
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance
[Troy]
Take my hand, I'll take the lead
And every turn will be safe with me
Don't be afraid, afraid to fall
You know I'll catch you through it all
[Troy, Gabriella]
And you can't keep us apart (even a thousand miles, can't keep us apart)
'Cause my heart is (cause my heart is) wherever you are
(chorus)
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance
[Gabriella And Troy]
Oh no mountains too high enough, oceans too wide
'Cause together or not, our dance won't stop
Let it rain, let it pour
What we have is worth fighting for
You know I believe, that we were meant to be
(chorus)
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you (like you)
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do (way we do)
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance (can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance
Can I have this dance
Can I have this dance
Owww...... so sweet, too bad Alec cant dance...-_-!

I. Almost. Died.
Alec got his bike today, and he asked me to wait for him in Bishan.
I almost died cause I was so excited to meet him that I practically forgot my basic road crossing rule
"Look left, Look Right then left again",
instead, I just
"Look at Alec, Look at the Bike, Look at Alec again".
So as I was crossing the road ... suddenly i heard a loud honk behind me, as i turned around the car hit me, a little la, not painful, in fact I didnt really feel it. Macam tak kena jer.
I apologized profusely, thankfully the driver was okay with it.
So, there you go, my close encounter with death today...

My Bf
Do you have a bf who sacrifices an opportunity to further his career to greater heights with a lot perks & $$ offered when you just say "Don't leave me alone?"cause his new career will required intensive travelling and a long period away from each other.
Do you have a bf who nurse you to health when you are sick for 3 weeks, preparing meals, soup and medicine for you at 3 o'clock in the morning, not for a day or two but for 3 freaking weeks. At the same time, had to endure your annoying cough that last for 2 minutes at any point of time when he is in a deep deep slumber.
Do you have a bf who purposely travelled all the way from Serangoon to Raffles Place to get you this wonderful bonquet of chocolates then travelled back to Bishan just to surprise you.
Do you have a bf who has just sent you home from KL to Kajang in the afternoon, then surprises you again by knocking at your door at night (travelling from Kepong to Kajang) cause you said you were hungry and wanted to eat supper but lazy wanna drive out to eat. Not once or twice but a number of times, now I dare not Dare him to come down to Kajang anymore, cause he makes good of his promises.
Do you have a bf who forgo his love for durian cause you cant stand the smell?
Do you have a bf who asked his mum not to cook pork or chicken drumstick/wings cause you only eat chicken breast meat?
Do you have a bf who puts you first, ahead of everything else and by a ring of a bell, he comes right to you to attend your whatever nonsense.
Do you have such a bf?
I do. :)

A Proposal
Friday 31st of October 2008 started out an extremely tense n stressful day, as it was the day of my final CPA exam after 2.5 trying years. Jim had his own stresses as well.
That very afternoon at 12pm when i was on my way out for the exam, Jim msged me and said "dear, can you take a cab to the botanical gardens after your exam. There's a flower festival there and its supposedly very nice".
Me, being a rather suspicious creature, started getting suspicious. So i replied him to say "Hmm i'm getting suspicious." Then he replied and said "Since its ur last exam, i wana make u feel relieved and relaxed. And since u complain i hardly take u out (which is true hehe) and there's a flower show, thought we can check it out".
So i didn't think much of it. And anyway, i was busy thinking abt my immediate exam.
So after the exam, i took a cab and called him to ask where he was. He said he was already there, saving seats for the flower show. So i got there and called him. He said "i can't get up frm my seat, otherwise we would lose our seats". So he asked me to get a map frm the reception and get to "palm valley".
Well, my directions aren't particularly good so i took pretty long to get anywhere near "palm valley". So Jim called me to ask where i was and eventually guided me to where he was waiting. At the bottom of the slope of Palm Valley.
When I found him, he said that he got someone to reserve our seats so he could find me. So we walked up the slope (it was a wide open field) and he kept talking on how it was really hot but ppl were saying that this flower show was really something. So as we walked n talked, we approached little white flowers on the grass which spelled my initials "YY".
I was shocked and said "errr....what is this??" "Where's the festival?" And he kinda just ignored what i said and we kept walking. As we kept walking, i saw more flowers in pink spelling the word "WILL".
Then further up, "YOU" ........... "MARRY".......... "ME".........."JJ" (His initials). The words were all made up of different coloured artifical roses. He later told me he bought 150 of them.
Then he asked me to turn ard, with my back facing him. He asked me to close me eyes so i did. then he handed me a bouquet of red and white roses. Then he asked me turn ard facing him. Then he took out a small ring box and he opened it and said "This is for you".
I was stunned that the box inside had the brand imprinted on it "King Fatt Jewellery" (Something like that, can't memba the name specifically). And the ring looked like a 1 dollar mood ring with white spots ard it. Rather ugly and a cheapo chinaman brand!! (Trust his humour hey) :)
Then finally, he took out the "real" ring and went down on one knee and proposed. So i said "yes" and he put the pretty diamond ring on my finger :)
THE END.
Congratulation Yu Yen!!!!

Halloween
It is such a contrast between the East and the West.
The seventh Lunar month is such an inauspicious month that the Chinese avoid getting married, buying or moving house and staying out late during this particular period to fend off any unwanted spirits following them.
While the West parties all night long and even dresses in ghostly attire to freak each other out.
The decision to attend the Halloween party yesterday was an impromptu ones. EJ came down for the weekend and so we thought of going clubbing together. And not wanting to be under dressed, Alec and I hurried away to do our last minute Halloween costume shopping.
Actually to freak people out, all I need is just a baggy shirt, a messy hair and NOT PUT ANY MAKE UP ON, am sure I will win the scariest costume.
So here are my step by step to create my halloween look.
My trusted dolly eye contact lense. To make the big eye effect/
My make-upless face and messy hair, I know, Ugly.
one eye with the dolly eye contact lense and the other without. See the difference?
Now both eyes with the contact lense. Sparkling **
Next clip up the fringe.
Put on some toner to minimise the pores. I have super huge pores.. -_-
Then liquid eyeliner, I love missha eye liner. Easy to remove and put on.
Fake eyelashes, a must for typical chinese like me who has super short eyelashes.
Almost there.
Concealer, to conceal the ernormous pores and blemishes.
Almost there.
Unclip my fringe
Now put on my mask...
hahaha.. nola.. not going like this....
Put on my costume...
Princess Athena - The Greek Goddess of WISDOM... MUAHAHHAHAHA
Okay.. ready to partay!
Wait, I need a date.....
Mr Beast
But after I kissed him, he turns to this
Leng Chai sial...
The crowd at St James.
EJ came very much later with his cousin Willy, who is also happened to be my company's Manager. Shessh... have to behave myself liow...
EJ, ALEC, ME & WILLY
Then I damn bohliao nominate myself for the scariest costume when I looked like the harmless ghost on earth hahahha....
But too bad.. kalah sial.. hahhaha... no scary enough :P
My stupid catwalk... and the damn funny MC.
