Blame it on?

This post might be slightly rude in the sense of offending some parents. However, who minds and who cares if I really am speaking the truth of it?

No doubt that nowadays both father and mother are working hard in order to earn some extra income in order to support the heavy expenses of the family, providing a better environment for the kid or the children, hence, unlike the traditional way where father alone is no longer the bread winner for the family. As consequence, parents have to send their kid/children to daycare or in a common word, kindergarten. Well...here's the question. Are the parents over-expecting the daycare center turned out to be the "home" for their kid/children? Exactly, parents are getting more and more greedy, they even expect the person-in-charge of the daycare to babysit their kid, furthermore...done the checking of the kids' homework in detail. When they got the stars (reward) in the marking from their school teachers, everything's fine; BUT when the school teachers marked them incorrectly, what more? You're dead! Indeed! They will definitely find fault up until the top of your head as if they're the innocent and you're the one who created this! So....who's the one to put this blame on? Please judge!

Fine...I'm fine with the blaming...there's only one thing I'd like to remind to them. Don't you think you have the responsibility of taking care of your own child as well? Don't ever try to put the blame to the others right before you've done your own part!

I sympathy to those kids whoever sandwiched in between the teachers and the parents. They have to bear the pressure from the parents, on the other side, the teachers are just like giving tons and tons of mountainous homework. Who's suffering in the end? There's no one but the kid.
What a sigh! However...that's reality, ain't it?

Finally....my YE, in other words, my Japanese sister has went back to her hometown on last Friday.

Frankly speaking, I was relieved and yet I do missed her at times. Still, not yet adapt to the life without her, sharing a bed with me, teaching me some basic Japanese language, sharing happiness together.

Well....indirectly, I'm here to introduce you our video clip which is specially created for my YE, Ms Satsuki Torii. A round of applause for Akira and his friend, Levian for the piece of this hard work.

Enjoy!!!

Ding Dong!!! Time to work hard.... Desperate for income! *winks*

Toodle-oo 2009; Welcoming 2010!

Time flies. The curtain of the year of 2009 will be pulled down in 2 more days. And yet, another brand new theme of the show will be presented and carried out in the year of 2010. Please allow me to ask, what is the theme of yours? Have you figured it out?

Well...wishes, dreams, hopes, to-buy-lists, to-do-lists, are those stuff which came upon the mind of everyone. How about getting something differ from the others? Such as...what have I achieved across the current year? By asking in such a way, at least, you might recall your achievement(s). What next? Certainly it will be reviewing on yourself. Looking deeply into yourself by using the 'mirror of you', and sooner of later you will capture the strength(s) and weakness(es) in you. Try it out!

"Hey, update your blog by posting some interesting photo snapping! And tell us more what have you been doing all the while!" I was told by a friend. Em...I will, I will...promise that I will do it but definitely right now it is not the time. Firstly, the photos is not with me and secondly, it takes time for me to select a few from those tons of photos and post it up right on my blog. Reason? Oh well! We've been visiting to many tourist spots and that should be an impossible tasks for me to upload all of them in a day. *winks* (Honestly, I'm not bragging.)

Anyhow, back to the traditional style of writing.
Wishing each and everyone of you have a great and prosperity year ahead, happy 2010!
Bidding farewell to 2009; warmest greetings to 2010!

Posting up a little sharing, 2 of the photos which I captured during Alor Setar trip.

#1 - The highest building in Alor Setar, Telekom Malaysia. (My favourite)













#2 - I saw this aroma thingy when we were having our dinner at a Thai-style restaurant.

Mr Santa, anyone?

The 25th of December, Christmas
It falls on every year but this year...
What a breezy night
"Mr Santa, anyone?" uttered Ms Santa

Standing at the garage, unaccompanied
Looking up upon the sky, alone
Without the existence of the stars, imperfect
Wishing for Mr Santa to be here, wished

Looking at the pictures of yours
Wondering how well have you been doing
Transformed into a better one or, still remain unchanged?
Just....wondering, nothing special

PS : Snapped the picture with my cell phone, sorry for the low-quality outcome. I love this picture and the ambiance which reflects.

M.I.X.E.D.

The very first word, casual, this is very very casual post, again I'm pretty sure. Well, I have been hosting 4 days of my YE (Youth Exchange) who came far away from Japan, Osaka to Malaysia, Penang, and she is currently staying with me, and she will be making herself as comfortable as her home in Malaysia for a neither short nor long period, a 3 weeks' time.

Frankly speaking, for the first 2 days, I was kinda nervous and I started to feel exhausted and kinda losing my mind by the time I found out that we (my YE and me) could hardly understood each other due to communication barrier. However, after we have been mingling around for few more days, sooner and right now, extremely big acting of body language is no longer a necessity when we are communicating and please allow me to say it proudly that, the ice wall which lies between us has broken through. We got to know each other more and more throughout the outings, and I started to learn some Japanese language from her. Saying that from the bottom of my heart, she's truly madly deeply a great tomodachi (google up this word, it's a worth-learning word).

Uhmm... I just came back from attending the Welcoming dinner for the 7 YEs held in Stonebay Restaurant. There came a time when I was given the opportunity, speaking up on behalf of my hosting family. Well... my mind was totally a blank when I was appointed by my daddy to make a speech as he declined to be on the stage. Err...that's not the main point actually. The gist is that I really am, appreciating especially to my parents, where they allowed the family to host a YE, and I can assure that this is the first time my daddy attended to the functions of Lions or Leos. I wonder how daddy thinks about the function, but...I still, have to thank him and dearest mummy for allowing me to join the club as a Leo.

A casual blog, coming up with a casual title, and ended up with a casual closing. Appreciating! Thanks Lions and Leos! Last but most importantly, thanks to my YE, too! Leos, Roar!

PS: I will not be able to update my Blog as frequent as previous time, but I promise I will try. =)

Blues

Tick-tock Tick-tock~ dripping sound of the rain can be easily heard

The blues hidden, which can't be seen easily through her poker face
Breathe, was the only thing that she has been gasping for
Aims and ideas were still, never gathered at the moment
Crystal clear thoughts will never ever flashed in her mind

Flower scent were spreading all around
None of the flowers was plucked, unfortunately, pathetically
Water, oxygen and sunlight are reliable from one to another
Transformation by the bees is foreseen as a necessity

Weighting has vastly increased, warning alarm has rung continuously
Investigation was carried out, tons of emptiness was the outcomes
Tools, a mask has been wearing ever since she is born
Undiscovered mystery will be disclose, will it be the day of unmasking herself nudely?

Time Flies

This is gonna be a casual way of writing, a simple and random post regarding what I have been doing all the while since my exam is over.

Soon after my exam, time flies as fast as lightning. See...now it's almost mid of December. And what have I been doing all the while? I went out for gatherings, attending the projects carried out by our Leo Club of Georgetown Mutiara, and I even went to a 3 days and 2 nights Leo Camp held in Balik Pulau White Resort, including helping one of my friend, Akira to design a simple booklet for his coming 3 days and 2 nights Childrens' Camp. Hey man, I'm appreciating it for giving me such a honor to hold up this position (as a Booklet Designer).

Well, let's talk about my Leo Camp. I'm sure each and everyone of you guys will ask me did I enjoy the camp and how was the camp going on, ain't it? Great enough I should say it! What else could I say more? Frankly I did enjoy everything to the fullest, memorable stuffs were all stored and be remembrance. Despite there were some issues which once almost pulled me down for my day, but proudly and happy to say that everything is over and at least I did something to cherish myself. Besides, Lions and Leos had given me the best and most unforgettable 20th birthday-prank-celebration. You've got me man, seriously! By the way, thank you guys for the hard-work-prank creation and I almost burst out in the end. Frighten arousing and surprising created unexpectedly for me. Still....fresh in mind until today.

Birthday right? Yea....few more days for me to go to enjoy my 'teens', after all, I'll be stepping into 'twenties' and am no longer considered as a teenager anymore, ain't it? Kelvin urged me to get a boy-friend at my age to nurture my life. I was laughing out loudly when I was reading his comment. (If you guys wish to refer here is the link) Yes yes I will get one but not so soon, erm...reason? Ask 'Feeling' then. *LOL* For my birthday wish right, I don't have much besides the common one which is hoping me and my family and of course to those all of my friends, wishing all of them will be doing great and absolutely healthy is the most important.

In the month of December, that's the busiest month in the year. Know why? Yea...I kept on attending friends' birthday party from one to another. What more...it's almost half a month left in stepping into another brand new year-2010. Everybody, are you guys ready for 2010? For me, I'd say yes! I'm ready for the challenges to come, the obstacles to face and stuffs to train and polish myself up in order to be Myself of being as a 'twenties'.

Actually, I loathe on composing my post in such a casual way. I have been doing it all the while in a formal way of writing. No choice but I have to do it in this way because 24 hours in a day is definitely not enough, not enough! I need more! Other than needing time badly, most importantly is I need income seriously! *Sob*

Anyhow, I'd like to apologize to my buddy right here, Ai Phing. I knew I shouldn't keep on commenting you in such a way which indirectly hurting you, and of course myself, too. Everybody knew that it was an accident and it was way out of your control. Keeping on pulling your legs is something neither fun nor amusing. Sincerely apologizing to you right over my Blog, hoping that I will gain you back, oops no! should be glad and cherished for forgiving me for my stupidity behavior and act caused. Thanks and I love you! (Please don't misinterpret, I'm not a lesbian *blushed*)

Lastly, wishing everyone has a splendid and great time spending before the warmest welcoming the year of 2010. Before that, thanks to my parents for bringing me up and accompanying by my side whenever I need them the most. Absolutely right that they have been molding me into such a healthy and bright girl. Mummy, Daddie and Bro, proudly shouting out that I'm turning into 20-ies. I love you guys!!! Happy 2010!

After exam, what's next?

"Finally" has becoming a more and more popular word which usually can be seen in most of my course mates' latest post in their Blog. Why? Yes, and you have got it right! Our toughest examination nightmares had just over! What a relief! Throughout the three subjects, I hoped that I did well for them; otherwise, I do hope at least I get a pass for all of them.

After exam, what's coming up next?? Well, unlike the others, I neither spend much of my leisure time watching and after the TVB series, anime, nor relaxing at home. As I might place myself under the "active & on the go" group. *winks* Well, needless to list down what is my to-do-task, or my on-the-go upcoming activities. That's pretty good and I'm glad that I've got a best friend, who I named after "portable hard disk" (PHD). *Blushed* This "portable hard disk" is absolutely the most unique, one and the only in this entire world. Pre-reminders, morning calls, and etc are all PHD's top multifunction! See, how good it is! However, I should appreciate for being PHD's friend, as I received a number of knowledgeable inputs.

Well, does everyone wear a mask? If they do, how often do they change it? "Be it yourself, put your best foot forward in it, and that is what you and everyone have to do." A friend told me this.
I will take up this and implement it on my role, I can do it, can't I? *winks*

Listening to the calming songs, Kenny G's album where one of his songs has reminisced me back to the past. It should be a few years ago, I suppose. It should now has became a nostalgic for me and it would always be kept as the sweetest and most memorable memories. The moment by Kenny G

Another photo sharing which I personally ranked 4 stars out of 5 for it. Reason? "Feeling" is the best reason of whatever I could think of. How do you rate it then?

Should be my bed time but...

I know it is supposed to be my bed time now. Furthermore, I should be getting enough of rest in order to prepare myself for the final exam on tomorrow. However, I am suffering from insomnia right at this moment. Besides blog-ing it out, what more better could I do, if I am not covering myself under the cold blanket and shedding out tears.

Things seems to be coming and going at the wrong timing. It happened in such a sudden. Fixed-line had been kept ringing non-stop for the day, my sixth sense told me something was not right. And true enough, it just turned out to what we were predicting. Within a few hours, the ring of death has taken Him away from us. Someone whom I respected the most had just departed, to somewhere which is still, an unknown to us.

Apologizing and please do forgive me for unable to turn up, paying You the very last respect although I wished that I can be there. May Your soul do rest in peace. You will forever be remembered, deeply in our heart.

A stage

Frankly speaking, in order to stand on the stage, presenting for any event or any kind of activity is not an easy job nor a difficult task. What more if you are standing in front of a crowd? Or should I say it, in other words, in a complex? *shivering*

Well, first thing first, you should have the confidence, I mean in you yourself. Once you are confidence enough, anything spoken out by you or any action done by you shall be summarize in the one, and the only word - Beautiful. Yes, no doubt, Beautiful. A friend told me of it, "Be more confidence, believing in yourself, and act towards what do you think it is right, needless to ask more about it, (just like the slogan of Nike - Just Do It!)."

Before hand, I seemed to be the one who is lacking of confidence in myself. Somehow, soon after I got convinced by a few people. I am now, very thankful to my Leo Club President and Vice President, absolutely I'd like to thank to the Adviser Lion May, for suggesting and electing me to be the MC (Master of Ceremony) for their event, "Think Green, Be Green". Of course, not to forget my partner, Leo SP, too. *winks* Thanking you people for giving me such a great learning opportunity, providing me ways of direction, distinct effective training, endless supportive and encouragements, and last but most importantly, connecting me one step nearer towards my self-assured.


Although it is common to experience a tied-tongue on a stage when you are nervous; but, I still, took a deep breathe before I went on to the stage, and finally, I managed to conquer my fear without showing it through my face, and started my hosting with my partner confidently. (Sorry that I mentioned a few words wrongly in the beginning)

Fellow friends, I might not be performing well for the past event nor up to the professional level, but somehow, I had collected my courage and braveness, and gave it a try! I'm willing to learn and absorb as much as I can, and special thanks to Akira, for being the instructor, who has been pumping in endless inputs (of course a positive suggestions) and has been leading me to the right path for carrying things out. Arigatou gozaimasu!

For the compliments which I had received from the Lions after the event, I shall keep it deep inside my heart, and I will perceive it as a power to motivate me in the future! Roar!!!

Artist of the Month - Yolanda Adams

For this month, allow me to introduce 1 song which motivates and inspires me whenever I'm lost.

I have to express my greatest appreciation to my dear friend, Mun, because she randomly bluetooth this song into my cellphone. Thanks! *huggies*

Yolanda Adams - Never Give Up



Here are parts of my picks from her lyrics, for full length, click! here

Visions that can change the world
Trapped inside an ordinary girl
She looks just like me
To afraid to dream out loud
To fulfill your life's purpose
You've gotta answer when you're called
So don't be afraid to face the world
Against all odds
So, keep the dream alive don't let it die
If something deep inside keeps inspiring you to try
Don't stop
And never give up; don't ever give up on you...

An inspiring song, meaningful lyrics.
You shall give it a play, once, at least once and I bet you will be falling in love with her.
Here! If you wished to play this song. Enjoy!

Bestie's 20th Birthday

26th of October 2009

That was a meaningful date. It was my bestie's birthday! Happy Birthday, Fion!!!
There were seven of us, who shared the birthday present among us and celebrated with her in the college cafeteria.

Wait no more, let the photos speak for the rest.

That's her present, look at the birthday card, they're lovely aren't they?

At first, we set a prank on her by just giving her a small piece of birthday wishing card in the class. "Sorry Fion, we had a hectic month and sorry again for neglecting you, we did not prepare anything but...but just this small card, hopefully you'd like it, Happy Birthday!" I said to her. Guess what? She duly nodded her head, and thanked us. (I knew she wasn't in the celebration mood, the body was not working well for the day)

After our class, me and Amely tip-toe to the cafeteria. Intelligently, Amely hid the huge box behind her. Soon after the seven of us gathered at the cafe, we surprised her with the present which had prepared earlier. I guess she was too excited to receive such an extra large size of present.
Here she goes, she's curious enough to have a peep into the hidden stuff in the bear-themed box.





(Due to certain circumstances, I have to grab 2 pictures from Fion's blog)
Here you go, the bear which trapped in the box for days, and now, she (Fion named her after Diploma) finally meets her owner, Fion. =)

May all your wishes come true, birthday girl!
