See You Next Year

I was nine when i got transferred to a new primary school closer to home. The two previous years was traveling back and forth between KL and Kajang as i was placed in St.Mary.

Then i met these two chinese girls. They were just transferred there too and we were the only chinese girls in the class. So, basically, that left us with not much choice but to hang out with each other but problem is, both of them speaks mandarin. Now, I have never spoken a word of mandarin at home. I was fluent in cantonese, english and teochew. Communicating with them was HARD.

And i submitted. In order to get to know them better, i started learning mandarin. Especially with this one girl whom i am particularly close with for some odd reason. She's this chinese that look so much like an eurasian. Brown hair, fair skin, pretty nose and brown eyes.

We were like duck and chicken at first but somehow, we just found our rhythm. Sometimes i do mandarin and sometimes i do english. And most of the time, she wonders what am i talking about. I remember the first word that totally boggled me. The word "sa-sa" meaning crazy. I found it so funny, i kept saying it, i kept laughing at it. =D

We got close and do what kids do. We play. We talk. We laugh. We joke. We bonded. We were in the same class from standard three up till form three. we had our ups and downs. I hate arguing with her but i know in the end, we'll be okay.

We got separated in form 4 due to.. not streaming but more of the school's system of separating an equal amount of elite students into two classes. and just our luck, we got separated. And then we fell out. She found her group of friends whom she can be with and i stick back to those whom i am familiar with. I tried to keep in contact, hanging out but at that time, i have no idea whether it was me or her but we just.... stopped.

I was sad for the first week. I was sad after that. But in the end, i learnt the lesson. We have our journey, and now it's time to learn to let go. And i let go.

We walk down different paths. She, A levels, Me, STPM. then she got into Nottingham and me, UKM. We still hang out once in awhile when we could find the time. we do our catch-ups. and when we do, we really do.

I find it comforting knowing that, we may not be close but somehow, we have a special place for each other despite time and changes in ourselves.

and now, she finally manage to pursue her dream, which is to go overseas to study. although it is only for a year but a year, the experienced gained is definitely unmeasurable. she went off to UK last night, and i wasn't there to say goodbye but i have in the morning. the gifts and the letter. at least, we made our peace at that.

I am never a person good with goodbyes, in fact, i hate the airport if i am there not because of a holiday but because of sending off someone close to the heart.

I just wanna say,

Thank you for all the memories.

See you next year with that british accent. ;)

Great Weekend.... RIGHT...

When you happily follow your partner back to his home, you would actually thought that it's gonna be a great weekend because it usually is. however, once we reach back, we saw....

a chinese funeral procession, just started right on the day we came back.. so it is alright, i mean nobody expected it and i seriously don't mind. afterall, the family across surely didn't want it too. and i feel so bad for them though i don't know who's the deceased, but let's not talk about it.


ben has got a cute white dog called lucky, he look exactly like BOLT from the animation.

Lucky is a really good dog. i mean he is.


But these two days? he has been barking like nobody's business in the middle of the morning. on normal circumstances, if it was my dog, i would have screamed at him but since he is NOT mine, i can't do squat but try to sleep. but seeing myself as a light sleeper, i couldn't sleep. each time he stopped barking for a few mins, i'll fall back asleep but then he starts again and goes on for a full 10 minutes.


i give up.


so buh bye two nights of sleep.





ps: i wanna go home. :(

Filter?

Hmmm, i find myself having this sudden urge to filter my FB account and delete those whom i don't know or have not in any way communicated after adding them.

i think i should just do it right now. heh heh heh.


ps: feel like baking again. dad will start to wonder what happened to me. XD

Happy Holiday!

Uni is out for two weeks, yays! :)

On a happy note, went to Popular Book Fest with Bennie and spend about 160 bucks on books. :) bought the entire collection of Anne Rice's famous Interview With The Vampire, Vampire Lestat and Queen of The Damned, got myself Stieg Larson's The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played With Fire, and two of Micheal Connelly's books. :)

Bake for the first time with Sandra without Bennie's help! :) and i think, i might just make it a hobby if not for the cleaning up part!

Can't wait to watch Resident Evil 4 on Thursday night with my loves. Will do the most "KIASU" thing by purchasing the tickets early tomorrow. heh heh.

Anyways,


HAPPY HOLIDAY~!

Leaves

Have you ever take a break out there, listening while the wind blows and the leaves dances along the rhythm of the wind, producing a mini symphony that you rarely hear?

Have you ever just look up in the clear blue sky with the many shape and size of clouds rolling by slowly without a care in the world?

Have you just sit by the beach, listening to the waves gently beating the shore, watching breaking dawn or setting dusk?

Ever wanted to just lie on a field of lavenders under a BIG BIG tree with green leaves and watch the cloud rolling by, wondering what the future would be, wondering is this the life that you have always yearned?

Watch the butterfly flutter among the flowers.

Watch the Koi's swim in the pond.

Listen to the water fountain.

Sit on a swing and read during dusk.

Catch a ladybug if you could.

Smell the flowers. Smell the fresh cut grass.


The world revolves around us at a petty pace, we work, we stress over our daily routine, we stress about life. why not, take a break and relax for just a while, taking in all the things which you might have just taken for granted while sorting your day out?

i haven't seen a ladybug in ages, wondering if they are still out there, those tiny red things with black spot on their back. :)
