鞭策自己

回想起来,过去几个月的时间都在混日子,看来是时候收拾心情重新出发了。

现阶段的我,首先必须做的就是再度燃起自己在工作上的热忱,不能再给自己借口懒散下去。其实我真的很钦佩公司里其他的同事,他们无论在待人处事方面,或者是工作能力上都很棒。我要向他们多多学习,希望有一天我也可以变成好像他们一样"有料"。

除此,我要充实自己的生活。现在的我已改变生活作息了,不再只顾吃喝玩乐,而会抽多点时间陪陪家人,多读一点书,做多一点运动,更多一点时间让自己沉淀。而且我即将在7月开始我的saxophone class,希望在有人指导下,可以让自己的音乐造诣更上一层楼。

Wesak Day at Maha Vihara

I went to the Maha Vihara temple in Bricksfield with Peter and Su Yin as volunteers to help out the Wesak ceremony. Su Yin is the regulars volunteer every year for Wesak day in this temple while this is my first time here as well as Peter.

Our shift starts from 10pm to 2.30am. We registered ourselves once we reach the temple, it was already very crowded, and there are lots of stalls selling flowers, incense, lotus candle, buddhism books/CD and etc. Peter and I were being assigned to the registration counter. Our task is to take the attendance of the volunteers and distribute the t-shirt, name tag and gloves to them. It is quite an easy task, and thus I still have time to snap photos around. The temple is very nice, there is a big and magnificent Buddha statue right in the middle of the temple and the grand Shrine Hall.

Then after a while, Peter was being called to collect the garbage while me being called to involve in urging people to donate money to build a new temple in Kajang. Wow, it is very challenging to me because I need to explain to people about the purpose of the donation IN VARIOUS LANGUAGE! And the greatest challenge is when I approch Indian who speak Bahasa Melayu!!! My Bahasa Melayu really cannot pakai la, I even gotta scratched my head while thinking what is "money" in Bahasa. Haha... what a shame.

After non-stop speaking and standing for 2-3 hours, I was very exhausted already. Well, I know I am talkative, but doesn't mean I won't feel tired of doing too much talking ok? :)). Then I headed back to the registration counter to continue helping for the registration, but it was already 2am++ thus I just help out for a while and get ready to go back. Although it it almost 3am at that time, but still there are quite number of peoples around. I never know Wesak day can be so merry too.

I felt so contented on this Wesak Day. It is very tiring but yet I enjoyed it so much. Hopefully I can make it to come back again next year.

离开你以后

离开你,我多了很多朋友的关怀。
离开你,我生病了会自己去看医生。
离开你,我出门不再丢三落四。
离开你,我变得更会认路。
离开你,我更懂得珍惜和家人相处的时间。
离开你,我学会自己安排假日的节目。

那时候,我曾经告诉你,我们在不在一起也没有分别,原来我是错的。我还在学习如何一个人生活,你说过我是很独立的女生,希望你也可以努力,更疼爱自己。伤害已够多了,我们不要比赛难过好吗?

Sports Day

I woke up at 7am last Saturday to attend the sports day of Xuan's kindergarten. Kids nowadays are so heppening, I can't remember I have sports day when I was in kindergarten, or do I?

It is actually very fun to take part in such activity especially if you were a parent, you got the chance to witness how your kid grow up and you can share the precious memory with them. I bet it must be a sweet memory when you look back the old photos one day when they are away studying abroad. Although I am not a parent, but I enjoy having fun with them too. There are so many cutie pies there and it calm my mind when seeing so many innocent faces; the world isn't that corrupted yet huh?

On that event, I saw some parents are just too pamper their kids. Besides, they are too gan jeong about the victory which make their kid so tension; the parents even race together with their kid, need to be like tat meh? It's just a game afterall, just have fun la.


All the Ma Lao Jing


Xuan Xuan really good in kao lui, haha


I'm his yi yi


Xuan Xuan won the 1st place for the individual racing, he is very happy with his gold medal.

Little Bossy Xuan

My nephew - Xuan Xuan likes to call me, everytime when I ask him why he call me and he will tell me it's because he miss me, awww, so sweet isn't it? However, although he is just a 4 years old kid, but I found he is very bossy indeed.


Xuan Xuan : Yi yi, where are you?
Me : At outside lo
Xuan Xuan : What time is it now? (He is a 4 years old kid who don't know how to read clock yet)
Me : 9pm ++
Xuan Xuan : So late already still at outside a? Why still don't want to go back?
Me : (speechless for a while).. hmm, ok, I am on my way home.


Xuan Xuan : Yi yi, are you coming back this Saturday?
Me : Hmm, not sure yet. If I want to come back then I will tell your mommy.
Xuan Xuan : Aiyo, why you always don't want to come back one. You already few weeks didn't come back.
Me : Haha, ok then, I will come back this Saturday la.
