sorry


Oh I had alot to say
Was thinking on my time away

I miss you and things weren't the same

'Cause everything inside it never comes out right

I'm sorry i'm bad, i'm sorry i'm blue

I'm sorry about all the things I said to you

And I know I can't take it back.


Sorry~Buckcherry

somehow i just kept listening to this song recently. nope, i am not emo. i promised myself not to emo anymore. there are so many beautiful things in life waiting for us to be appreciated, why emo?

sunset that i captured in genting:)

did i mention that i just love the view of sunset and sunrise. just like waterfall, it gives me the serenity and makes me realize how beautiful our life can be :)

i know u wont be reading this, but here wishing u a blessed and happy birthday :)

change

The only constant is change.

Met up with many old friends recently. and many of them said that i have changed, in a positive way fortunately. I may not have realised the change, but if everyone says so, something in me must have been different.

sociable. optimistic. cheerful.

Do i really have all these qualities now?

optimistic? yes. many incidents that happened early this year have woken me up. life is too short for us to be wasted on being sad, or regretting on things that have yet to be done. i guess now, i don't get frustrated easily as last time. half a year has passed, going through all these incidents and letting them go is not easy. but, i grow up and learn a lot from all these experiences.

ice kacang, chocolates, park, jogging, sleeping, friends. they are my source of happiness now. losing something or rather someone that i love is heartbreaking, but i am grateful that i have earned many many other priceless things after that :)

you don't need to have the best of everything to be happy. to be happy, you just need to make the best out of everything that you have. and the brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you cant go forward in life until you have let go your past. i have gained a lot from all this past incidents, it's time to let go. now.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human
and enough hope to make you happy.

Penang-Alor setar- Langkawi


I am back from the 7 days trip :) this time, visiting different places, with different group of friends, but still, is equally fun!!

15-7-08
first morning in penang, dimsum breakfast!! it was fantaliciousss!! i am just so in love with penang food.thereafter, we went to disted college to complete our COP- community oriented project. COP was quick and simple. we managed to finish the survey within half an hour and walk around the college compound to camwhore :P


next stop, ice kacang in new world park. ah, i cant help but to keep praising penang's food. the ice kacang is so nice. everyone just kept asking me whether i am happy or not. haha. my friends just know me well, ice kacang is my source of happiness :) have you seen icekacang with banana and other fruits? no? then you should go penang=)

ice kacang!
next stop, penang birdpark. no, we are not a fan of birds, but out of courtesy, we are 'obliged' to visit the birdpark, because it is owned by our dear friend kingston. haha :P but we did have fun there, learning more about birds :) thanks kingston!!
after the whole afternoon of birding around, we went to autocity to have our dinner at TAO. although our wallet were bleeding after that, it was worth it. the food is heavenly!! it just reminds me of the sakura buffet at orchard after i got alevels results.
on the ferry back to george town

i just cant believe that people still have energy left after the whole day of tripping around penang. right after we got home, WII sessions. it was quite interesting, especially the boxing games, but i was just too tired that i just stone at the side looking at them playing.

16-7-08
Chendol-Asam laksa-hokkien mee-charkuey tiao-horfun soup all in one area. we had all these must-eat-penang-food after visiting kek lok si. oh, did i forget to mention the fantastic nasi lemak breakfast that xinying's ah ma prepared for us. thanks ah ma! ;)
kek lok si

famous chendol:)
after all the penang good food, we travel up north to the land of paddy field, where there is rice bank, rice-operated-car, paddy currency. haha, yes, with izzat around, we kept teasing wy about alor setar, even before we arrived there. we had really really nice seafood dinner at the seaside. and after the dinner, we went to the TALLEST building in alor setar, which is the telekom building. heh, it was really nice :) sorry for all the teasing yea, wy!

17-07-08-19-07-08
Langkawi. Langkawi. Langkawi. we were all so excited and looking forward to the beach.sand.sun.chocolates.vodka(for some of them). haha. but before that, the horrible ferry ride. the sea condition was really bad that i had motion sickness and vomitted out my breakfast. after a stop by at kuah town, we finally arrived at berjaya resort, which is so ulu and far from other places in the town. but, the place is awesome.

the next day, we went to oriental village for the cable car ride. i love the colorful buildings there:) scenery up at the hill is beyond words. the blue sky and sea. bliss :)

up next, beach, volley ball, sunset :) i just miss the feelings of the strong waves massaging on the body. so free and relaxing.posing with the batik that we bought :)

20-07-08-21-07-08
after another horrible ferry ride, we finally reached back to penang. yet another round of good food. charcoal char kuey tiao, fantastic western food, rojak :)

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

i got tanned. my weight is scary. my wallet is bleeding. but still, i am missing everything of the trip. a big thank you to hoay, wy, xy and yk for all the planning, without which the trip wouldnt be a memorable one :)

We do not remember days; we remember moments.

Pilah-PD trip


Went down to Kl last tues. two days of going around charity homes, and calling up one by one, and followed by meeting up with friends :):):) i am happy that our charity homes stuff is almost done, with most of the homes confirmed, and only some miscellanous things need to be done.

Went over to jh's place to stay over. haha. i think her mom thinks that i am funny la, because i kept laughing. anyway, we started baking the next morning after leanne and px arrived. thankfully rm was around to help, or else, hahaa...i think, i would rather have one person who knows how to bake than to have four person that have no experience at all in baking around. haha. big applause for rm :) but, in the end, we still manage to produce muffins and cake. they were fantastic ok!

after rushing here and there, we finally met up with dom at kl sentral. and to make sure that we will arrive in seremban later than kh's dinner, we hang around that area and went in to coffee bean for some light dinner before heading off to srmbn. the cake is soooo nice! thanks jh :)


the muffin!
after arriving in srmbn, i called kh and told her that i wil be waiting for her at srmbn parade. i just cant believe how good am i in lying la!! haha. she didnt suspect anything and was so surprised when she saw so many of us there. :):):) the plan was a successful one. somehow, i think, this whole trip is based on a lie, and one of the memorable thing was the bluffing game :) haa.


waiting pathetic-ly at the redstage infront of mcds while the rest were stalking from 1st floor

i will post more pics here because i am just too lazy to type :P anyway, we went to ulu bendul the next morning. it was fun waking people up again. i just miss the feeling of waking kh up every morning with various violent means. haha :P

the belated birthday celebration

only when i reached ulu bendul that i found out that ulu bendul=gunung angsi!!!! the famous mountain that m206 went up to. we didnt went up to the peak but its enough to kill my poor new pair of nike shoes!! argh!!! i should have brought hiking shoes! anyway, i enjoyed the waterfall, i just like chilling beside waterfall :):):) another applause for kh's friend who guided us up.



ulu bendul :)


the apartment :)

posing infront of corus hotel, no we didnt stay here :(


doing 'the jump"




bbq

i was so exhausted after the bbq that i lie down straight on the bed after showering while everyone else was watching tv. and the funny thing is, i woke up at the time when everyone is getting ready to sleep. and we ended up walking to the hotel's pool side and chit-chat there. replace alcohol with root beer, we all were still very drunk. haha. i think i have got sugar high after the bbq due to the marshmellow :P


i don't regret spending all the effort planning this trip. all the laughters. the smiles. the jokes. it is all worth it :):):) kh,jh,leanne,dom,zl,ee,px, u guys are just so fantastic!!!
