Back to base

Thanks to long-nothing-to-do Sunday noon, i was lying on my bed, slept while watching Hong Kong Drama (or Hong Kong Drama watched me?) till late night. As a result? You probably can imagine that, my twinkle eyes just refused to shut for another few hours… complaining me not letting them to see things… (T.T)

So what can I do at this hour? I decided to blindly opened up random folder in my hard-drive, then I just happened to click on the folder that I saved all those old photos that I took all these three years in Australia, using my mobile (although only 2 mega-pixels but I reckon they are still awesome~).

Looking at the photos of places I go, the food I eat, funny things I got (e.g. my first cheque book, my first cheque received from Tax Office, my first oversea nice meal on my first payday, my first DIY make-up face, etc…) Just thinking how amazing things could be, how unpredictable life could be…

Thinking back what I probably did on first May Monday noon 10 years ago? Hmm, if not mistaken, since that would be back in 1999, I was TARC A-level student, going to study form-6; I was probably sleeping and reading book at TARC library? Or watching student price movie in Petaling Street? Those were one of the relaxing days where I could enjoy student benefit everywhere (wei~ RM3.50 for a movie ticket wo, you just cant find it anywhere now I swEAR~!) Only Gods know ten years later, here I am, sitting in library again but this time, I’m now in Sydney… preparing my coming English Proficiency Test for my visa… Who know next year I will probably be in Malaysia, doing something else?

Thinking of the unlimited possibilities of where would I be next time, this is just one of the excitements of being aliveà the unknowns…

However, unknowns could be, sometimes, very frustrating… It makes people lost their patience waiting and just go give up on what they wanted originally and get to choose something else, which it had further changed their whole life, further away from what they planned for. This is what I felt after I flashed back these entire one thousands something photos in the folder… Looking at my smiling face when I first arrived Sydney, it looks so different from my smiling face now… It looks less-naïve, less-spoiled; more ‘i-don’t’care’, more ‘what-ever’ kind of look. When I slowly studied my facial expression, I still have that lovely (erm-hmm) big smile on my face, but the eye just not the same… the unknowns had made me more pessimistic and more face-reality-rather-than-take-the-risk after these three years. It is a good thing? A bad thing?

When I first arrived Sydney, my dream was going back to Seoul and masters my Korean Language one day. This is a dream of mine; a promise of mine to father and myself. My original plan was, get my younger bro here; wait until he settled down then I will go and do it. As time goes by, it has faded slowly without me realizing it. Why? Because of the unknown I guess… The unknown of whether I will successfully get my PR; the unknown of whether I have opportunity to build up my career here in Sydney, had made me nearly lost my patience and chose something else… ran away.

After looking at those photos, I thought, hey, I had gone all the way till here, ran away is not happening~! If I ran away now, my three-years-time here would be a total waste. I won’t go unless I am chased away. If I ran away, I know I won’t be happy with this when I look at these photos again after ten years… I swEAR~ hahaha….

So, I guess, things just back to base overnight. When I first opened my eyes this morning, I have never been so clear that my future plan: wait to get my PR and get my younger bro here until he settled down then I will go Seoul and master my Korean Language there. I can see myself doing that in three years time (^-^)

Or else, dear unknowns, PLEase bring me somewhere else and do something more exciting. I am right here waiting for your plans, with all my patience of course. Till then, I was just going to do what I planned three years ago

(^-^)b

waiting unknown to be known,

When are you going to dress up?

While i was enjoying usual Sunday morning, drinking coffee while reading newspaper: Entertainment section talking about Harlem marriage crisis, a friend of mine called me out of sudden.

Appearantly she kinda think of me suddenly. Why? 

She reckons that i should work harder NOT for money, but work harder on how to dress myself up and change my image… ortherwise i wont get a man.

mmm… it makes me think about it seriously.

This is not the first person who said that to me… i have been ’told’ to do that since ages ago,  probably since im no-longer in 18-22-teenage-girl. I got frens buy my nice nice lady clothes, make-up, accessories, handbag, even nice dress JUST wanna me to make gorgeous all the time up until now… even got a nice sexy dress, nice nice lady bracelet for my 29 birthday ler… Why am i still so stubornly thinking that my Mr.Right will still spot me, a messy-overaged-overweight-cinderella-me waiting in a dusty room at home with a broom?

Time for me to do it?

or time for me to give up?

I wonder…

MY 2009 Birthday Celebration

Before i start writing this blog, i had actually read through the one i wrote one year ago… My first oversea birthday celebration…

This time, my second oversea birthday celebration (^-^)

Thinking about it, i always feel blessed cause my birthdays have been full of wishes and blessings from frens and family. 2009 birthday celebration has been a very meaningful one, as this is my last 20s birthday… well, apart from trying to enjoy two big candles on my birthday cake, i do look forward to become members of 30s (dear frens, don’t secretly be grateful of your 20s and think it’s still long way to go. Trust me, it comes before you even realise it…)

So,  this special moment, i do feel like im celebrating my birthday in Malaysia. Why? Cause i do have two Malaysian VIPs with me in Sydney (^-^) this time. Thanks to SiewMoy and Jude…. i had a real good time. Well, when it comes to good times here, good food is essentially included. As a result, i gained another 2kgs (Sorry my dear frens, i know i further distancing myself from my-better-lost-that-weight-target… but it was my BIG birthday ler~) My 2009 birthday celebration was actually like lasted for a few days. How come how come??

I’ll tell you how… 

Firstly SiewMoy was here since 1Jan, so she actually counting down with me. We had nice nice Vietnamese noodles and Chicken rice as lunch; and then a lovely DIY wantans as dinner and then i slept? (hahahaha… i cant even remember what we did that nite? That was what i probably did i think. hahahaha…)  Then the next morning, here’s come Jude. Thanks to the plane delay, she was an-hour-late (well, what was worse, her delayed-return-flight three days later even blood-vomitting-frustrating… Jude, thanks for the sacrifice~~~), we went to eat Korean food after we met in the city. It was… mmm… ok lar… Later, three of us went to Thai restuarant and had some awesome thaifood with another few frens. It ended with a few nice nice champagnes (one ordinary champagne that i got from christmas and one specially brought all the way from Melbourne to Queensland and then to Sydney, by Jude) and of course, my two-candled-cake. It was a great nite out.

The next day, thanks to Carrie, one of my frens here. She brought Jude and SiewMoy to shopping while i worked half-day in post office. After work, i started to prepare for another ’small-steamboat-gathering’ for six. Hehehe… i know i know… eating steamboat is always nice.. (^-^)  We finished of the steamboat with cherries and strawberries (sponsored by Manly, my another fren here). It was another good dinner.

The next next day, me and SiewMoy went for coffee and donuts while Jude was doing her annual shopping. After that, we went for Japanese and then afternoon movie. For those who love weird movie and haven’t watched ‘Curious case of Benjamin’, i’d highly recommend you go watch it. It was a good movie. I cried for some scenes, and i ended up like panda (thanks to Jude, she wanted me to look like princess, so she put on some make-up on me. I insisted not to use waterproof mascara coz im lazy to clean it later… then there you go, you can imagine what happened next when my eyes pee…). THEN, we went all the way to another town to eat Chinese food. It was another great dinner…

The next day…. as usual, eat walk eat eat eat… Until now, i think you probably loose interest of what we had done now, coz you can somehow figure out what we did next… YES YES~ eat eat eat…. So now you know it is HARD for me to just gain two kgs in this food-marathon like that… (^-^”)b

To summarise my birthday celebration, i have an equation here:

  My 2009 birthday celebration = Asian Food Festival

How’s that? As what Jude said…we should not meet again…. (^-^)

last but not least, i would like to thank everyone who had sms me , called me, emailed me, facebooked me, frenstered me.. You know i got your love, just that i have bad habit of storing them all with me without replying you~~

Thank you thank you and thank you~~ i feel loved and happy~ you are part of the reasons (^-^)

My Graduation Day: Final part- Lost and Found

It’s been almost a month since my very graduation day… things start to be back to normal pace now where my liveless life goes on. There is still one little thing that i think worth sharing with…

I think i mentioned that in my previous blog about me loosing my handbag~ When i realised it, i obviously didn’t have much feelings until my graduation excitements finally cooled down later that day. Then i realised that my wallet is in there (Well, i carried my handphone with me all the time, thatx why i didnt realised i misplaced my handbag somewhere, ppl who know me will know i don’t usually carry handbag). So, there you go, my malaysian driving license (well, even i don’t really use it, but it is STILL my driving license~ i spent money on that, man, so don’t laugh!), my lovely mini thermos (my mum gave that to me, it is very handy, can fit into handbag, good coz i can have hot or at least warm coffee at all times) and some cash (that i plan to post something to ocean and have a decent celebration after graduation)…

Then i start to feel a bit pain (T.T) Part from the cash, the thermos is my most missed thing, especially i used to carry it everywhere i go (yea~ even if i bought a cup of fresh hot coffee, i always pour some in there while finish the remaining. Then later i can still enjoy the warm nice coffee in the thermos, it’s like having nice coffee twice a day without spending extra money and without having to break the daily intake (in other words, caffeine-overdose), isn’t it nice?)

well, guess what happened? a week later, i received a call from Uni security unit, they said they found my handbag~ then without wasting more time, i quickly asked my fren to collect it for me as i was working at the time. Then, after he got that for me, i called and asked whether all my stuff are still there (keep my finger crossed) 

Well, as i expected, all my stuff are still there except cash… but i am still grateful that my lovely thermos, wallet (well, without cash of course) and my driving license (well, although not practically useful but still good to have one) are there~ the person (whoever it is) seemed to be a caring person as he/she still left a few penny there in the wallet for me to make a call or at least take a bus to go home i guess… and he/she doesn’t even take my IDD phone card and bus card (like touch-and-go thing) away. So, i decided not to curse him/her for taking cash from a already-poor-people like me. 

So lost and found. (^-^)

Apart from this ‘lost and found’, i do have something that i found… that i don’t even realised that i lost it… my big smile.

I was having a dinner with a close friend of mine here. We are quite the same as we are at same age, doing same course, almost carrying same stress as she is also working and studying at the same time. She told me during our dinner together. She said that i looked happier now as i laugh louder more and more. Then the very moment, i realised that i have been too stressed up with life here as compared to the life i have in Malaysia. People who know me in Malaysia always see me as happy-go-lucky person, who hardly cry in front of people (apart from crying while watching movie as i always do~), never worry about money and future as all of you guys think that i am capable of EVERYTHING~ well, hell i am not.

Thatx the thing i strongly feel here… yup, i lost my confidence here. I have to worry my financial status here… I worried hell for my study here, accounting.. (^-^”) not easy task for me… when time goes by, i became not happy or at least not as delightful as i used to be…

After graduated, i feel the big hard stone that i always have at my back is finally no longer there. Now, i’m now no longer create more future debt, no longer have to stress for those numbers or calculations, no longer need to prove that i can still finish my accounting course. Because i am now.

so thatx another lost and found.

The thing is, people like us, grown-up like us always think that we are no longer capable of becoming as happy as we used to have when we were real young. I can tell you that it is very much depending on your own perception. There is always a way to make ourself happy. How? Sometimes we just have to let something go for awhile, and make things back to simple way.  In other words, make your thinking, your need less complicated and back to simple.

It’s like having too much of so-called fabulous dining meal at expensive restaurant could sometimes make you lost; it blurs you, the real you.  When you finally have chance to sit down at old food stall, eating a maggie mee goreng with fried egg and extra hot, then you realise, things are always there, just that we misplace it somewhere and now we found it back.

Lost and found: The simple happiness in life.

MY Graduation Part II: D Graduation Day,

After a few weeks (well, eh, i must confess, only a few days before the ceremony) of continous practicing, i am finally ready to D day, D graduation day.. It was held in a old buiding which look just like an ordinary block. The graduation spot was right in the middle of the surrounded classrooms. Just imagine yourself standing in the middle of a empty space which fits a size of the basketball court, surrounded by classrooms. Yes, just like an ordinary primary school setting where i have your weekly assembly on. This place is just not classy enough for a grand ceremony, but it is very meaningful as this is the traditional place where all macq people have their graduation, so, cant complaint… (T.T)

I came to the graduation spot earlier as i need to see the event organisor for the last briefing. After he briefed me on how should i go upstage till how should you go downstage after the speech, he asked whether i have any question. Well, sure i did, i asked him the very question i wanna know for long… ‘Ken, i just wanna know how did you guys picked me as the graduate speaker?’

Unfortunately, he didnt know as he wasn’t involved in this, as far as he concerns, he said the normal procedure would be macquarie lecturers will work out a list of ppl they think suitable, and out of the list, i was the one that they successfully locate i think. So faith, i think it was, that picked me. Probably i was one of the favourites for one of the lecturers (without my notice of course), and it just happened to be me on the list and got selected. I was lucky (^-^)

So here i am, sitting on the reserved first row, alone, waiting for my turn to go upstage. When the ceremony music started, i was starting to feel the mixture of sadness and happiness for this special day, my tears started to roll in my eyes.. The ceremony started with two speeches from two Uni people, so it gave me sometime to roll back my tears in. Then, when the host of the ceremony announced my name as the graduate speaker, then, i took a deep breath, and smiled, go up to the stage…

When i started my first line, ‘A very good morning to Deputy Vice-chancellor, Members of University, and then i go BOOM, blank (T.T)

I stopped there for about two seconds before i continued saying ‘fellow graduates and guests… it was very close, luckily i brougt a little cheatsheet up to the stage, so i was able to glance on it and steady myself back and continued…. haiz, i think this is always my public speech dilemma, where i always started of blank abit before it could go smoothly well at the end.

So, when i continued to the part where i wanted to thank my family, my tears started to rolled out again, it fact i was choked with the tears, i was eventually finished the whole paragraph, then i got very good response from audience down there, with loud long clappings.. (Later i found out that some of them were actually crying with me as well. A medium-aged lady came to me after the graduation ceremony saying that she cried during my speech..) I was boosted with their warm response, then i continued the rest and then the finally got some of the graduates cried as well (yup, after-ceremony-feedback from frens of course ). The day before the graduation, i was in fact trying to get help from fren~ my dear lougong and siewmoy for some translation for the phrase ‘We did It’. Eventually i was so touched until i forgot to use them, but it was still overall, a pleasant speech for the ceremony~ hehehe, so it’s all good (^-^)

Once the graduation done, i went out and meet my frens and auntie uncle, they seemed happy to me. My auntie was at first, not seem too over-excited. Later, when she knew that i was the one who wrote the speech personally, not a default speech from uni, she started to feel excited… hahaha, later when i asked my fren (i got three guest tickets, so i actually asked a fren here to accompany my auntie uncle so that they are well-taken-care of), she said when i first go up to the stage, she was surprised and turned to face my fren, my fren just nodded and said nothing, twice, yes, twice she turned to my fren and show those surprised faces, so it is very interesting~ hehehe

I was so grateful that luck chose me, knowing that i dont have much money to buy whatever to show my gratitude to them for giving this opportunity to me here. The next thing i know, i was given a chance to make them proud of me, giving me the opportunity to say thank you to the world for their kindness…so I was so excited~ Even though i realised, i lost my handbag later (erm-hmm, this part will be reserved to my next blog someday ya~ hehehe), overall, the happiness of me finally make my way to graduate is FAR MORE happier than the sadness of loosing my money and my other stuff in handbag..

So, there you go, end of my graduation ceremony, D day… (^-^)

MY graduation part I: Graduation speech

Ladies and gentleman, finally my day has come~ after almost three years of hard times, struggling between works and studies, now it’s about to end…

One month ago, when i was away from my workplace, my boss in post office called me. He said a person from my uni called for me. I was so surprised as i have never ever give away my workplace contacts to uni, suddenly i got a bad feeling, fearing they found out that i worked too much (well, international student here only allow to work maximum 20hours per week) and try to investigate me… At last, i called them back (my boss got their contact number before he hanged up) and leave a voice message (people lunch time mar). They eventually returned my call and asked whether im interested becoming the graduate speaker on the ceremony. I was overwhelmed and agreed without a second thought. Only god knows why they picked me (i am definetely not the smart student, i barely passed or just reach credit only all the times, only got one HD in my life, that even not a big big subject ler), but here i am, writing my own graduation speech…

So, here’s the speech:

A very good morning to Deputy Vice-Chancellor, members of university, fellow graduates and guests, thank you for giving me this opportunity to speak on behalf of all my fellow graduates. Today, when I’m standing on the stage, looking around this building, I have a very special feeling.

I’m sure some of you share the same thought. I can still remember back in January 2006, I was holding a little plastic folder, lining up at the corner of this building to get my course registration done online. That was when my first part of this chapter: ‘Studying in Macquarie University’, begun. Today, I had done almost the same thing, but this time, I was lining up to get my registration for this graduation ceremony done. Therefore, at this moment, the final part of the chapter is about to begin.

These two events may sound normal to some of you here today, but I almost 100% certain, these two events sound so meaningful to all my fellow graduates here. After flashing back all memories we have created together during the whole period in this wonderful place, regardless they are sweet, bitter or a mixture of both, we are grateful that this part is happening now.

We are grateful to our family, whether you are now sitting here with us, or you are watching the video of this ceremony later at home. We just want to say: Thank you for everything. Without you all, we are meaningless here.

We are grateful to our lecturers and all other wonderful people here in Macquarie University who are always being helpful and supportive throughout our study here. You all had become our heroes, always come to rescue whenever we are in trouble.

Last but not least, we are grateful to each other as course mate. Despite the fact that we could be future competitor in the job market, so to say, but we still manage to form a big family here, studying together, sharing thoughts together and improving our knowledge and skills together. Macquarie University is one of the famous universities in Australia; its high degrees of academic expectations from all students are well-known to the world. Even there is a comment saying ‘Macquarie University, once you get in, you would need lots of efforts and hard works if you want to graduate’, but hey, guess what? We did it.

We did it.

We did it!

Thank you.

Coffeeholic

Smoking Kills

Drinking Kills

Coffee Kills? Definetely. Kill my money.

I dont really know since when, till i realised, im addicted to coffee. I can still remember one of my tutors back in UKM, she couldnt really wake up early morning for 8am class until she got her short black (kopi o la). Once she got that, she could talk alot of interesting stuff in literate. (for some of my frens, u know who she is ba~hehe) now i think im kind of like her… if really need to wake up working early in the morning, i have to get a coffee to clear out all my sleeping mind worms.

Coffee, my best winter companion here. This is my third winter here.. time really flies… thing has changed alot but one thing still the same is that, winter always make me feel weak and emotional. i can get upset easily in winter time, mind becomes very negative as well.. even a tiny thing like missing my bus and sitting alone in the bus stop for another one hour can cause my tears.

when that time comes, a cup of hot coffee afterwards will make me feel happy and ‘enlightened’ again~ sound silly but thatx true.. holding it in my hands, smelling its nice aroma, thatx heaven again. thatx why annoying stingy human like me also willing to spend AUD$3.25 for a cup of coffee. sound familiar?

Exactly~! i sound like a smoker or drinker who willing to burn money for destroying health… (T.T) last year was the worst, i even stick to gloria jean coffee which sells double-shot coffee (which is twice thicker than starbuck or coffeebean) almost every morning, and then afternoon make diy coffee myself while working part time. as a result, i got upset my stomach alot, nearly got myself into gastrics.. haiz…

thatx why after i come back here from m’sia during CNY08, i was very very good girl. i cut down alot from at least one cup everyday to only one or two cup a WEEK. not even tea ler~~ thatx why my stomach got better since then… NOW, it got slowly returning… thanks to hectic and stressful life these days, coffee just come back.. sound familiar?

Exactly~! it sounds like drug addicts who eventually picking back their bad drug addictions due to some reasons. Sound so annoying~~~ even my fren here, a very blur blur type fren. when i told her im gonna save money hard for visa application. while counting things that i can do to save money, she just said ‘oh, just save the coffee money. it’s quite ok d.’

got slap.

thatx when i thought. coffee kills.

kills my money.

MY little star

I realised, whenever i feel tired and tensed after lotx of hardworks, i wil tend to look up the sky and find the star, my close companion that has been with me all the time since i was small… it always feels good to stay at a cooling quiet nite and look up the clear sky and see this:

                  X

X            x      

                     x

                          x            

                                           X

                 X

(^-^) the three stars in the middle is like saying ‘how are you’ to me everytime when i look up, your tired heart just suddenly feel warm again.. no matter im in malaysia or any other part of the world. I cant really remember when i started to have this little habit, it’s like my strenght amulet, to give me strength whenever i was weak; to calm me down whenever i feel frustrated.

So i hope they can be a little companion of you too. (^-^)b I know that i cant be with you all all the time whenever u need an ear, but i do hope when u look up the sky and find them, remember i also look at them and say ‘how are you’. Take good care, always~

Malaysia Tour (^-^)b

First of all, i need to apologise for those that i couldn’t make it to meet in my short ‘tour’ back to Malaysia. I really wanna meet everybody~ yes~! u~! u! (^-^)

If i were comparing this 08 CNY return with 06 Christmas return, this one was a great success~ i can still remember my Christmas return, it was quite bad coz i wasnt able to locate frens as i came back in secret and planned to surprise them but too bad~ u guys were just no time for me (T.T) i ended up watching HK drama series at home~~ (T.T)a

This time was overally great. I just spend two weeks in Malaysia, but i get to meet alot of frens, especially those who i didnt meet more than two years~ yes, u lar~ u lar~ hehehe~ Time really flies… i don’t know how to describe it but, i think i have been lived hard, not even take one second for granted. Therefore even im growing mature day by day (in other words, growing old day by day), im still feel good. Feeling clearer as to what i want, who i am. I am no one in the world but i am someone in someone’s world (^-^) how’s that?

Celebrating new lunar year was a good decision, thankx to you. I get the chance to escape to Langkawi, thanx to you and you~ On top of that, I get to meet alot of people as they all balik kampung for CNY. Thatx when i get to meet some old times primary school frens~ that was great (^-^) u guys just look a little bigger than primary school, hahaha~ It was fun~ thanx to you and you~

My banana gangs, u guys just as awesome and crazy as before, thanx to Kath’s baby, we get to gather again before you guys balik kampung. It’s been alot of changes, but those are good changes i think, more mature as i see it. Keep rocking ya~

Next my ampang gang, u guys also not change much, haha~ still very generous to me, treat me eat eat eat, until i gained 7kgs in two weeks time. Amazing…but true (-.-)b; and also lovely presents, thanks to you X n (sorry that i havent got much for you guys, in fact i feel alittle ashame that i wasnt able to return my gratitute right away, but i will when i have more budget next time ya, keep my finger crossed, hehe…)

Last but not least, my family. They are my world. I missed them alot all the time but just too weak to make up my mind to return for CNY. At last, i made it~! Im glad, even if i would have to face another hard time to work things out again when i come back here in Sydney.. it’s fine. (^-^)

Why i named this blog as ‘malaysia tour’? as it is named, i had been busy running from meeting this fren to another; from here to there~ it is really like performers going on tour to perform from one place to another. Imagine i can meet a fren at ampang in the morning (yes you~); another fren in Sungai wang in the noon (yes you~); Kelana Jaya in the evening (yes you~); and lastly another fren in ampang again in the supper time (yes you)~ haha~ amazing but i enjoyed it alot. Glad to meet you all in limited time though (^-^) but then still got some i that missed out.. sorry ar~~~

Wow, look at that, this is my most delighting blog so far, so many smiling faces i made~?! haha~ thatx good, hopefully it will go on and on~ im sure it will, i have you all with me. Seeing you guys doing fine, gives me more strenght to face future obstacles. I will work hard. (^-^) cry hard, smile hard, work hard, live hard.

My first birthday celebration in oversea

First of all, really wanna thanks for all my frenx that remember me and send me their warm birthday wishes to me, regardless it was earlier or late. It really makes me feel warm (^-^)  (well, apart from the summer temp here, my hearts did feel very glad)

This is my first birthday celebration in oversea, well, it may suprise some of you as i might give u an impression that i travel alot coz i got an itchy feet (^-^"). But then i always in my home, or at least my home country for my birthday. So thatx why, my mum called me on my birthday, as usual, asked me to buy chicken drumstick for my birthday meal (she has an build-in-mind that people should eat drumstick in special occasion, especially people that loved the most should get that part from the whole chicken). Sounds cute, isn’t it? hahaha…

Well, my birthday in Sydney was overall, nice. On 1Jan, I was in the office doing follow up works in office, then i received a call from one of them (probably they just remembered the last minute), saying wanna meet up for dinner in one of their home, which is very near to my office here. When i got there, i was right. Unlike Malaysia, almost all shops are closed on new year, therefore they couldn’t buy any food, so what they did was, gather all their stocks and made four dishes for dinner, it was fun to see how they manage to do that though~ (^-^)b unfortunately, they still unable to come out with a cake from their stocks~ so at last, watermelon substituted its role. haha~

Perhaps people are all getting older, i really dont mind anymore, the most important thing is, people still remember u and send you their regards, people are busy but still make some time to celebrate with you (the reason why they cant make it on 2jan was they all have to work, me too)~ people are too busy but still manage to suddenly remember and then there u go, got a belated wishes from them~ birthday present is sometimes, not that necessary anymore~ (of course, got also very good lar~ im still open for that o~ so u guys can give it to me anytime~ haha)

apart from that, i also got oversea call from u~ yes, u~! it’s very nice~ (^-^) hehe~ and cards from another u~ yes, u~! and a few midnite sms (which wake me up from time to time), yes, u u~! and last but not least, email wishes from u guys, yes, u u u u~~!

Just wanna thank all of you~ u guys are superb~!! Love u all~~~~~~~ for those who forgot or simply dont know, still, lov u~~ (^-^)
