I don't know what happen to me... The fire and energy in me has disappeared Every morning wake up to feel no energy and purpose... Sometimes I dreaded to go to work. I feel happy actually when I was infected with sore throats... The thought of not going to office really brightened up my day...
Staying in the office had become my whole day... Every morning from 7.30 til 9 at nite... Life sometimes feel so meaningless... What's the point of working so hard when i'm not enjoying myself... House has somehow become like a hotel to me... Cos I just went back to sleep and wake up to get to work again...
Is this how adult life should be? With loads of loads of work and responsibility? How I wish I had a big brother to shoulder all the responsibility.... And I will always be the little sister...

L.O.V.E
Here I am middle of the nite, doing nothing..... Suddenly, I got this urge to write something...
LOVE.... What is love actually?? According to my Oxford dictionary, it means: -
LOVE.... What is love actually?? According to my Oxford dictionary, it means: -
- warm liking or affection;
- sexual affection or passion; or
- strong liking for something.
From the explanation, it seems so simple... But, is it that simple? Hhmmm... Don't think so... If not, there won't be so many people writing into the newspaper or magazines to seek for guidance... To me, i'm actually quite fascinated with this 4 little alphabets... The power it has to lead some people to do things...
Love of parents... I think i recognised this love... I do think my parents love me very much... Just that they don't show it openly, just like my feelings to them i think... When I was little, i'm actually quite impress with those TV families... For example, Full House... But, it was just a TV show... Looking back, i know i'm blessed. Dad never scolded me and as u all know, he has literally become my 'driver' my whole life and yet, he never complain. Mom, who provides me good food and a cosy home. No wonder I never leave the house... Kekekeke... Love of parent will make them sacrifice... How mothers endure the pain to give birth to babies... 9 months with the extra burden on their bodies...
Love between a boy and girl... Honestly, I don't really know about this... I asked a good friend this question: How do you know that you are in love? Love a person and like a person should be different... And, I always asked friends that have started 'pak toh' how do you feel when you are in love? The same question... The answer I get is you will feel happy when you see him/her... The heart beats faster... You will get jealous if you see him/her with another person... You will always want to see her... Is everyone the same when they are in the same situation? But, when a love is fade or broken, it really gives a great impact to a person... It's so complicated... And, it really take time to heal from the wound... Seeing friends with broken hearts really makes me scared...
So, my latest question to you all is you rather have a simple love or a love that is so great with ups and downs... For me, i dun really know... It would be a point to ponder...

Happy Valentine's Day
The radio had been putting love songs all day long. Most of the people are definitely in a lovely mood... Love is flying around in the air.... Hhmmm, i wonder how does this day comes by? Here is what I find in the net... Don't know whether it's true but it's an interesting story...
Legend 1
The first legend, and perhaps the best known, began in Rome, when the Emperor, Claudius II, was involved in many bloody and unpopular campaigns. “Claudius the Cruel” as he was called, was having a difficult time getting soldiers to join his military leagues. He believed that the reason was that Roman men did not want to leave their loves or families. So, he cancelled all marriages and engagements in Rome!
The good Saint Valentine, who was a priest in Rome, in the year 269 A.D., together with his friend Saint Marius, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret.When Valentine's actions were discovered, he was sentenced to be beaten to death with clubs and to have his head cut off. But while in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl, who may have been his jailor's daughter, who visited him during his confinement. Before his death on the 14th day of February, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed " From your Valentine".
In 496 A.D., Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honor St. Valentine.
Legend 2
Another legend says that Valentine's Day started ...in ancient Rome, on February 14th, a holiday to honor Juno. Juno was the Queen of the Roman Gods and Goddesses. The Romans also knew her as the Goddess of women and marriage. Then, the following day, February 15th, began the Feast of Lupercalia. In those days, the lives of young boys and girls were strictly separate. However, on the eve of the festival of Lupercalia, the names of Roman girls were written on slips of paper and placed into jars. Each young man would draw a girl's name from the jar and would then be partners for the duration of the festival with the girl whom he chose. Sometimes the pairing of the children lasted an entire year, and often, they would fall in love and would later marry.
情 人 节 快 乐 !!!

HAPPY 旺旺 YEAR ！！
Tick tock tick tock... The rooster year walk slowly and enter the Dog... Happy Chinese New Year everyone!!! I wish u all: -恭喜发财 身体健康 万事如意
新年快乐 心想事成 步步高升
This year I got back some Chinese New Year feel. I think the reason is that I went back to my parent's kampung house.. Hehehe... But, new year back when i was still a children was really fun..
When I was child.....
At my dad's 老屋 and had reunion dinner with each and everyone of the Ng's family... Nite time would be filled with activities like fire crackers and also praying... The air will have the joss sticks 'aroma'. Adult will gamble, children will gamble.. Hehehe... Luckily, my uncle will always be my sponsor... Ang pows were definitely a lot... From my grandma, grand uncle, uncles, aunties, and even my cousins grandma and relatives also... Video games (tat time no Playstation yet, and my favourite game is Mario Bros ;p) and I got to play it once a year only due to my mom's theory that video game is BAD.. And, lion dance... I luv the rhythm and also the drum's sound.. So energetic and powerful... I like to play with the lion's tail too.... Hahahaha
Mom's kampung not bad too.. I remembered every time when we go back, cousin Yuen Siang sure bring along his 'monkey' game and 'beetle car' robot for us... Taiping lake, places that we will visit for sure... Hhmmm, besides that, ahh... my grandpa old bicycle...
To conclude, it was FUN!!!
Year 2006....
Fast forward to this year, after so many years spent in KL, my parents decided to go back to their kampung to celebrate the auspicious days... We will spend our new year eve in Taiping... So, on Saturday, we started our journey back at 10am and called our grandma informing her will be there by lunch time... However.....
10am: Taman Bukit Angsana, Cheras
10++am: Entering the North South Highway
12.00pm: Getting near to the Sungai Buloh restaurant.. So, we decided to use the trunk road...
1.30pm: Still stuck in Rawang's town... Too hungry, stop at roadside to eat and most importantly toilet!!!
6++pm nearly 7: Finally!!!! We saw my grandma's hse...
Moral of the story: Never go back on the eve. If we really wan to do so, we will start at 4 in the morning....
Mostly the rest of the days were associated with food, food and more food... Astro, sleep and hot hot weather... How can it be that hot!!!! Kekeke.... I really feel blessed with the time I shared with my family members this year...
And, before I end this, my favourite advertisement for Chinese New Year (Top 3) will be:-
1. Petronas - where the old ladies discussed about their children's achievements... Never ever be like those professionals who dump their parents at the old folks home and visit them once a while... I really believe if you treat that to your parents, your children will treat u that way too. It's the cycle of life...
2. Perodua - where the children played lion dance together... Semangat muhibbah
3. 8tv - where the Inspector Lui Kei needs to search Wong Fei Hung and the Hak Mui Guai to fight the 年 monster... Dylan was funny and I like it when he said 'cha cha bo' and 'wi wang wang'
